231031 levinchk instagram update Taemin ‘GUILTY’

So I want to talk about the various reactions I've seen to the people Taemin is interacting with in the MV trailer, MV teasers, and the MV itself.

I'm actually surprised that anyone would be stunned that this moment above in the MV is Taemin touching a man, not a woman. Everything leading up to the MV had Taemin being touched and surrounded by men (to my eyes, younger men or men around his age). As these tags by @jaythajujubae say, everyone Taemin is intimate with in the MV is male, while he mainly dances with women. (very bicon of him I agree)

And in this analysis on twitter (I shared the whole thread here) saying that Guilty is the prequel to Advice, op points out something very telling -

Here op is saying that in MV teaser #1, Taemin is looking at a younger version of himself, which is a view I saw others echo - that this person here is a younger Taemin, and that this scene reflects the innocence he had in his early years in the idol industry - the entire concept of Guilty is heavily focused on corruption of innocence.

But when I first saw MV teaser #1, I had these thoughts that I posted on 10/27:

The person who may be the object of Taemin’s affection in the MV teaser seems to present in a genderless way, and I feel like that’s purposeful… especially based on what we see in the trailer (everyone has short hair, 3 are dressed similarly to Taemin in the beginning shot when they’re playing in the water, and some are petite, making it difficult to say if they’re male or female)

Because to me, this person looks more female than male, and I believe a point is being made here (again I will link to this video about the sexualization and feminization of Taemin, detailing what he went through all through his career as an idol, including when he was a minor - what he did with Move was pivotal to how he perceived himself as an artist, reclaiming what others had tried to dictate for him):

After reflecting a little, and seeing how others took the younger person above as a young Taemin, the phrase "object of affection" lingered in my head. Whether this person represents young Taemin or someone Taemin cares for and later feels guilt about, the meaning is the same. Corruption of innocence. The character Taemin represents in this comeback is both someone who has been corrupted and someone who has ruined others. As we see in the MV trailer and also the MV, he is forced to shoot a gun at someone begging for mercy - from an authority completely indifferent to both their suffering.

Going back to the twitter thread about Guilty prefacing Advice, in MV teaser #1 Taemin could be looking back at a younger self surrounded by older men, whereas when he is forced to commit violence in the MV trailer, he is dressed as if he is younger than he is and surrounded by younger men. To me, the first scenario reflects a view of his younger self in the idol industry, and the second scenario reflects a view of his recent self during his military conscription.

Another speculation, what if the person he is being forced to shoot represents his younger self? We aren't shown that person's face on purpose. They are representative of a bigger concept - loss of innocence, and loss of that self who possessed such innocence. Just like the quote (the first line which is on Taemin's insta), from Hermann Hesse:

"The bird fights its way out of the egg. The egg is the world. Who would be born must first destroy a world. The bird flies to God. That God's name is Abraxas.”

And now theories of this quote being personified by Taemin in the MV (put out on twitter and reddit, which I shared here) have been proven true by the Guilty MV's director - 231030 Guilty MV director Byul Yun instagram update:

credit to @nso-csi for sharing this here!

So ultimately, I think Taemin choosing to be intimate, sometimes manhandled, by men in the MV is a choice that makes a profound point. The moment in the MV that's being shown in the first picture on this post, Taemin sings this line: "Give up, you’re trapped inside me". I believe in parts of this song, Taemin is speaking of himself. Parts of his identity that society used to deny him to express that he gives free reign to now, through this lens of exploring the border between what is provocative and what is disturbing.

I haven't even gone into more imagery the MV provides us plus the lyrics. But the opening scene itself gives a hint that this concept also touches on the idea of forbidden love, i.e. queer relationships.

These are the opening lines of the song:

Poison apple Spellbound, you wanna take a bite Hand outstretched In danger, sinking deeper

During the last line "in danger, sinking deeper", we get this shot:

If you look closely, I am almost sure the person on the left is the same person Taemin is focused on in the pillow fight scene in MV teaser #1. And the person on the right looks female. To me, that person on the left appears genderless, or nonbinary. Taemin himself has said he embraces a genderless expression in his art. Just like with Advice, I think with Guilty he is saying that he embraces an identity that goes against societal expectations for male idols (and male music artists in general). With Guilty I think he's also embracing a love that makes the audience feel guilty (something I also talked about in rambling not-really-an-essay here, after the second MV teaser photos came out).

How exactly Guilty links to queer relationships is a deeper conversation than I can manage (and this post is already very long), but I hope someone does, because I think the potential for such a connection is there.

I do not think Taemin is giving queerness itself negative connotations. I feel that he is drawing a parallel between queer love and a relationship with the (queer) self. I think a lot of concepts are coexisting in Guilty, and the fact that this comeback has resulted in so many theories and interpretations is proof of that.

This verse that Taemin named as his favorite in the song keeps standing out to me:

I want you to lose yourself That’s what’ll make our love easy Just doing things my own way The bigger the pain, the sweeter it remains

Save the first dance (for me)

Nayeon x reader

A/n: so I finished writing this wayyy earlier than I thought. I don't celebrate Christmas, so this is all I can offer as a gift 🎁 my first Nayeon x reader. I started thinking about a certain movie from the 90s, which is the main inspiration for this. Twice also made a reference to this in one of their mv. Like most of my ideas, I conjured it whilst in the shower 🤷🏽‍♀️

There is mild angst, but not that much.

Synopsis: What else can you do but run to the woman who has been waiting so patiently for you?

-◇-

You scrambled around your room, making sure you had everything.

The flight was in an hour, and everything seemed to be going wrong.

From sleeping through the alarm to spending a good half an hour looking for the passport you could've sworn you put on the bedside table the night before.

Nevertheless, you made it. You were finally on your way back to Korea.

"Excuse me." Your poor seat mate nearly dropped their phone in shock. "Sorry didn't mean to startle you, can I just get past?"

She just stared wide eyed at you. It was unnerving.

"I'll take that as a no."

You didn't ask again, but waited until they fell asleep. Carefully, you climbed over her, but you didn't factor in the possibility of your foot getting stuck.

Which, of course, it did.

Surprisingly, no one was awoken by the commotion of you falling over.

Now, that would've been embarrassing.

What you hadn't realised was that the girl saw and had to hold in her laughter.

-◇-

You stood in front of her apartment building. You knew the code since you lived together, but you physically couldn't bring yourself to go in.

Later, you thought. She may not even be home.

You were wandering around when you saw her again. The woman from the plane.

"We meet again..." She looked around to see if there were other people there.

"Eun Jung."

"Y/n."

"Did you find your sweetheart?" You were surprised, you did mention your significant other but you thought Eun Jung wasn't listening since she didn't respond to any attempt of conversation.

"Not yet."

"I know a lot of people, maybe I know her."

"Considering she's Im Nayeon, I think a lot of people know her."

"You dated Im Nayeon?!"

"Yes."

Eun Jung was starting to piece together what happened and wanted to help.

Even if it was out of pity.

"Come on, I know where she is."

-◇-

Turns out, Twice has a performance outside today.

The two of you stayed far behind the crowd and seeing her again made you feel many things.

She was smiling, but she wasn't entirely happy. You noticed the ring on her left hand.

A year later, she still wore it.

It was time to face the truth.

"She- " you glanced at your hands, hands you didn't want to admit were translucent. "She can't see me can she?"

"No. No one can."

"Except you." She hummed in confirmation.

"Don't ask why because I don't know."

"I guess that explains why you don't respond when others are around."

You continued watching the group when an idea occurred.

"Let me borrow your body." The poor woman almost choked on her water.

Okay, maybe you shouldn't have been so abrupt.

"Eh?!"

"She might be able to see me if I'm in a person's body."

"I don't think it's a good idea. What if you get stuck? A lot of things can go wrong."

She was right, but it didn't help in making you feel any less dejected.

Eun Jung began to feel guilty for shooting your idea down, when she turned to apologise, you were gone.

-◇-

It didn't take long to find you again since you ended up near the Han River.

You two took in the view of the sunset.

"She's - was my fiancée. We were supposed to marry last summer, but a month before the wedding I had to go overseas for work. I tried hard to get out of it but couldn't. Thankfully, I managed to wrap things up a week early. I booked an earlier flight to surprise her, but obviously, I never made it back home."

"You're here now though, I think that means something. We need to see Nayeon."

"It's pointless if she can't see or hear me."

"Shush. I won't accept any negativity. Now hurry up."

I'll get you two closure, even if it's the last thing I do.

-◇-

Ghosts are useful in getting into places you shouldn't be. I'll remember that.  Eun Jung thought to herself as the both of you stood in front of Nayeon's apartment.

You were definitely trespassing but that was the least of your worries.

Nayeon answered the door, and all you wanted was to hold her.

"Hello ma'am. You're probably wondering who and why I'm bothering you at this hour. I knew y/n, I'd like to offer my condolences.

Her plan worked when Nayeon beckoned her inside.

The other members were there too, and she had to resist asking for an autograph. It was amusing to see your new friend starstruck.

At first, Nayeon was eager to talk about you, but something was off. There were too many inconsistencies. It made her suspicious about the stranger in her home.

As politely as she could, she tried to usher Eun Jung out, making her resort to plan b.

"Y/n is here! She's been here the whole time."

"Is that supposed to be funny, mocking her?"

"Please, you have to believe me. I wouldn’t be here if I wasn't trying to help y/n."

The other members stepped in, getting ready to call the police. Eun Jung was getting desperate. She tried to wrack her brain for a solution, but there was only one she could think of.

"Ugh, fine! You can do it." But she wasn't talking to them.

"What?" You asked.

"Your brilliant idea from earlier."

"Really?"

"Yes! Now hurry before I change my mind. They're starting to think I'm crazy because in their eyes, I'm talking to myself."

"Thank you. I owe you one."

"Yeah, you do."

Your spirit jumped into her, causing a glow. It almost felt weird to be back in a human body.

Nayeon felt her legs give out. Fortunately, the members supported her. They looked at you in disbelief.

"Nayeon."

"Y/n."

Cautiously, she approached you and with the gentleness she has missed terribly, you cupped her cheek.

The world faded away when you kissed. She kissed you softly, but the passion wasn't absent. You kissed through each other's tears, and you kissed over and over until your lungs were begging for air.

She hugged you tightly when you broke apart.

"I missed you so much."

"And I you, my love. I couldn't leave yet when I owe you a dance."

"Hold that thought."

She ran to the bedroom, re-emerging a few minutes later in her wedding dress.

"You never got to see me wearing this until now." You broke down at that. You were robbed of the chance to see her walk down the aisle.

Not a dry eye anywhere, as the members too teared up.

Music filled the apartment as you danced. It was the song that would've played for your first dance as wives.

In the blink of an eye, it was over. However, neither of you let go.

That is until you started shining. You've found closure, and now it was time for your soul to be fully put to rest.

"My love -"

"No. Don't go, please stay. I can't lose you a second time."

"I can't stay like this forever. That would be unfair to Eun Jung." You separated from your friend, leaving her slightly disorientated. Being a host body for a ghost was exhausting. She felt everything you did.

Your spirit emitted so much light. Everyone could see you now.

"It's okay, Nayeon. You don't have to feel guilty about moving on. Promise me you won't be afraid to find happiness."

"I promise." You couldn't wipe away her tears this time. "I love you."

"I love you too."

With one more look and smile at everyone, you faded away for the last time.

Nayeon drew strength from the ones who held and stood by her through this.

She would not break her final promise to you.

Going Seventeen 2021, 27-28 EGO Taemin Guilty MV

#kpop #svt #taemin #gose #seventeen

[dojae-huh]

I'll make an exeption and write not about NCT. This case is interesting in showing what SM idols can evolve into as solo artists, what topics SM can support.

Taemin is known as an idol who debuted at the age of 14 y.o. as a dancer, but who made himself into a vocalist. He debuted as solo first in his group, however, it took him several albums to be able to have his artistic way. Same as Taeyeon he was curated a lot in the beginning. I believe the success of older idols like him made it possible for the company (or LSM originally) to trust in newer artists like Taeyong more, put energy in developing their skills as songwriters and composers.

Taemin's "Guilty" trailer , mood clip and MV.

The majority of what I will write down was noticed by my friend @jan-fm. Some observations are taken from Russian forums, a couple of mine. I won't go too much into detail, there should be plenty of analyses by Taemin's fans out there.

First of all, the MV is multilayered. The trailer and the promotional pictures serve as keys to the story.

The main plot: Taemin and other children (school uniform, shorts) are brought to a facility that looks like a psychiatric ward or a boarding school for "difficult" children (doors with locks, guards in white, the children have short hair, "children's drawings of a "happy family" have everyone with sticks in their hands)). The children are victims of abuse (Taemin's shots with the guards) who grow up, rebel and become abusers themselves (they kill guards, burn things, men sexually assault women in their group (the solo part with a male dancer pouncing on a female dancer who tries to skitter away, but is taken by force anyway)). Taemin goes through his angst and becomes the bird-snake god Abraxas (the idea of the union of the good and the evil in a human soul, he is the creator and the destroyer of the world, the darkness and the light).

The main theme: taboo topics that people can't talk about because they are being shut up by society or they stay silent about it themselves (the hand over mouth gesture in the choreo). Such as: psychological problems and traumas, homosexuality, sexual coersion, maybe pedophilia, etc.

The facility can be interpreted in many ways: the school, the society of adults, conversion camp, the army.

Taemin plays several roles, the same story can be viewed from different POVs: the victim (and the lover), the observer, the seducer.

In his recent talk with Suga Taemin said that he came to terms with himself being androgynius (internally, not just outwardly). In the "Guilty" MV he plays both genders. The female lead is both his love interest and he himself (same hair). In the trailer he is throwing water at a female student, but is absent with a male student. In the MV in the role of the seducing god he is both with a female (the neck) and a male (sits atop of him, top bank bed). The story of "runaway lovers who take pictures of each other" (the mood clip) can be viewed as a hetero love story (the female is the one who takes the pictures) or as a gay story (female clothes are absent in the background, a lot of cigarettes).

Subplots: the suicide of a boy, Taemin's trauma, Taemin combining all of his sides (the victim, the abuser, the good, the evil) and emerging as a god (the dance in the pink torn to shreds clothes (looks like flesh/body), the dress has snake scales on the sleeves=snake legs of Abraxas).

When children are brought to the facility, they stand in 3 groups: boy/girl, two girls, two boys. Couples. In a blink-and-gone shot it's two girls sitting in a room alone, lesbians. Taemin is given a gun to shoot someone out of frame. After he does it, he collapses, clings to the guard (adult) and self-harms (the fingers digging into the knee).

The suicide is shown in the trailer. A boy slowly walks to the white car, stops and makes a decisive step. In Asia a lot of teenagers end up their life by throwing themselves from roofs, bridges and under an upcoming train. In movies, the act is often shot at the level of the feet, the final step into the abyss. When Taemin dances in the MV at the same spot, he makes gestures of killing oneself (hanging on a rope, breaking the neck).

As the story goes, Taemin was somehow connected to the boy's death. Was he his lover (seduced and "ruined" by him, the toxic/forbidden love in the song)? Was he made to out him? ("killing" him before other students, outing in school). Or did he want to follow the example (his inner demons dance)? Was he an observer and was punishing himself for not acting and helping somehow the situation? Open to interpretation.

There is a lot of sexualisation of Taemin who plays a teen in both the trailer and the MV. Is he a seducer (the toxic/forbidden love) or a victim/the one being seduced? What is his trauma? Only his inner demons and the need to combine all his sides in one, to love oneself, or there was a traumatic episode he alluded to in the MV?

The promotional pictures and the album design show a melted ice cream (popsicle: getting sexual satisfaction from a human body), cacti with thorns (endurance, inner strength) and flowers (death, love, maturity), crocuses (rebearth, innocence, new-beginning), green grapes (the unity between the human and the god). More and more layers to the concept.

To sum it up. As you see, a song that at first seems to be about toxic love has underlayers and other readings. The MV is an example of a video that can be shown to general public who won't see anything unusual, but that hides a message for those who want to look deeper.

#notes in the margins

Tae-man's GUILTY: A True-man Show?

Guilty was a challenge. In every sense. This CB left me with a lot of lasting impressions and mixed feelings.

Above all, after watching the MV for the first time, a feeling of...despair??? But also liberation? I think I can already say that GUILTY is one of my best songs of 2023. Not just because I like Taemin so much. A song has to 'hit' me emotionally if I think it's really good and GUILTY did this.

I saw and read some song interpretations and there was a lot of interpretation put into the song, but I think the best always comes from the artist themselves.

"Everyone is guilty, whether it's a little or a lot, but it's truer to show it rather than hide it," he adds. "[The single] 'Guilty' is about a selfish love that hurts the other person. It doesn't come from my experience, but I used it as a way to define what love is and express it on stage."

It doesn't come from his experience, Taemin said. With this sentence, all speculation should be superfluous as to how much of Taemin's drama is in this drama like song, MV and the teasers. This still leaves me with doubts even though it shouldn't be :)

It's about sacrifice, making sacrifices, sacrificing yourself out of love for someone or for something you love.

''But there is always a sacrifice, and forcing someone to sacrifice is also love." Admitting the side of love, the side that no one wants or expects, is a wisdom he has acquired over time. "There are a lot of things I get from being a singer, but at the same time there are a lot of things I have to give up and those are the ones I emphasized in this single."

But maybe it's also because someone, for example a very young person whose great passion is music and dance, is made a victim of all this. From the entertainment industry, the artist agency, PR people, the press, the public, the fans, the antis, etc.

Feminization, sexualization of very young (way too young) KPop idols? I remember the jaket shoot for 'Sherlock' and the photos for Sherlock and Guilty have a lot of similarities. The colors, the lasciviousness, Taemin looks like a teenager again in GUILTY, even the grapes and a flowery sofa. I remember him saying back then that he wanted to look like a man, but his body ended up looking like a child's. Yes it really did and I think it was intentional. And I think that's the real problem with these photos. Other than that, I thought the Sherlock photos were just awful. Who was behind this concept??? I think it was no coincidence that this concept was revisited for GUILTY.

I don't want to unnecessarily interpret anything into this song, I sometimes thought to myself that all these metaphors and symbols (he really is a true INFP :)) that he uses here speak their own language.

And at the same time I'm thinking of songs like 'Internet War' (listen to the lyrics, this performance (in the end it was nothing than a rehearsed, predetermined performance, they did their duties) in connection with the lyrics drew attention to a lot of things.

And I think of 'Narcistic Cannibal' as well. The lyrics are quite interesting. But it doesn't have to mean anything for him personally. But I think there are often things in life that haunt you and take up a lot of precious and sweet time. Whatever it is.

Sometimes people say things through metaphors, symbols, song lyrics, hints ( i do that a lot, too) that you can't or want speak freely about, aren't allowed to speak about.

I'm still left with a feeling of despair. And a lot of question marks :) But I think for Taemin, GUILTY was really a kind of liberation and releave. And only he knows if so and for what.

what manga is that double one? I can't find anything about it

I take it you are asking me about this :

This isn’t a manga! This is a multimedia series called Milgram . I will proceed to explain Milgram under the cut

Milgram is a story told primarily through voice dramas and songs, and is supplemented by some other stuff that mostly provides character info, like posts on the Milgram app and interrogation questions posted to Twitter. It’s written by Yamanaka Takuya and DECO*27, who writes almost all of the music in the series.

The premise of Milgram is that there are 10 prisoners, all in a jail of sorts, all being judged for their “sins”. It’s up to the jailer, Es, to judge them for their actions in 3 separate trials— the decisions that Es takes are directly influenced by us, the audience, because we get to vote for their verdicts! A main pull of Milgram is the fact that it’s entirely based on questions about morality. All of them are murderers, you’re not being asked to judge if they’re guilty or not— you’re being asked if you forgive them. Of course, that means that some of these are very morally grey and some of these aren’t even direct killings. This can get very…tricky, especially when the story gets as cliche as it does at times LMFAO

The songs can all be found here. Voice dramas can be found …anywhere….probably. Usually I just look up “(character) voice drama translation” on tumblr and I find one. You can listen to them on streaming services and on YouTube , probably. The music videos all have English subs already. Currently we are in the midst of trial 2, so we’re waiting on Amane, Mikoto and Kotoko! So you can still have fun voting time yayayayayay. U can vote Here

The guy in the art I posted—the double thing—is Mikoto Kayano, the 9th prisoner. Here’s his first trial art vs his second trial. As you can see he’s not doing too great. The art you saw is the jacket art for his second trial song, Double, which releases in October.

Mikoto is a perfect example of Milgram’s ups and downs. He has one of the best songs in the series and his first MV showcases their truly amazing ability in animation— at the same time, he is seemingly very poorly written and is a mental illness serial killer . The hope for him is minimal . I’m on this ride to see how he turns out and how they salvage this already sketchy plotline for him. Idk, there’s two trials left, maybe it’ll turn out fine …somehow …..

Anyways yeah, Milgram is a multimedia series that tries to ask deep morality questions but sometimes it feels like they’re like. Do you forgive this woman for getting an abortion. How do you feel about this child with mental illness who killed people. Thoughts. So😭. Imo it’s not all bad and definitely worth getting into if you feel like it, the music is definitely really good ..so…yeah

If you end up liking this series shoot me an ask or something! Thanks for asking I love explaining things always

[taylortruther]

Rae can you give us an analysis/comment/comparison di Carolina vs the similarities with her own life?

i haven't read the book so i can't speak for what's a direct reference to the story... but imo lines like this:

Oh, Carolina knows Why for years, they've said That I was guilty as sin And sleep in a liar's bed But the sleep comes fast And I'll meet no ghosts It's between me, the sand and the sea Carolina knows

are very reminiscent of things taylor has said about how people discuss her work, life, personality, etc. she garners a lot of unusual criticism, she's been a lightning rod for discussion about sexism and slut-shaming, if she speaks out it's not enough, if she defends herself it's too much, she's calculated, she's evil for caring about money, she uses men for material, etc.

also, she once quoted an excerpt from an e.e. cummings poem that is reminiscent of that second-to-last line:

and of course this idea of losing yourself then finding yourself is conceptualized in the intro to the IKYWT music video, the liner notes in 1989, as well as...

the ootw mv

and cardigan mv

and the line "I make a fist, I make it count" has the same energy as "my words shoot to kill when I'm mad" and "does a scorpion sting when fighting back? they strike to kill and you know i will."

and we did recently get that fantastic quote where she said she would willingly inconvenience herself to make a point--like to prove herself, prove others wrong about her, etc. we get the sense that a lot of her career is driven specifically to prove she can do what people think she can't or shouldn't.

overall, it's a song about being deeply misunderstood, remaining true to yourself, and standing up for yourself even in the face of harsh, destructive criticism. i think taylor has undergone that process multiple times in her career and personal life (as we all have!) she's said she's always had to try hard to feel accepted or loved, even to her own detriment. but learning to be true to herself, her needs, etc. has helped her find peace and fulfillment that can't be found any other way.

Hiiii I feel so mean for this but.... Lino vs Jeno 👀 NOW I FEEL GUILTY ASFSKDHDHDJ

... and for mvs Monsta X's Gambler vs Shoot Out, if you are able to handle the question after the first one 💕

lee know vs jeno YOU HAVE ME IN TEARS ELENA!!!!!! omfg i feel like this choice can switch from week to week but lately it's been jeno but honestly they both have similar qualities to me like lowkey very unpredictable, shy around strangers, huge softies for their pet cats (also jeno and his cat friend jaemin 😼 LOL), but also suuuper different i love lino's face he is so pretty and his laugh is sooo endearing he becomes a little manic in the best way possible but also lately i've been really into jeno's stage presence and performance and watching all the details he puts into his performances whether it's adjusting the texture of his voice in his raps or adding fancy finger movements to his dances etc i remember he talked about some of them on the nct show music space zoo episode and it really has seemed to pay off in Villain with key i was sooo impressed by the raspiness of his voice and the way he ate the choreo when they were promoting last weekend. and then the moment he drops his fuckin intimidating stage face my heart just melts he is so very very very very goddamn adorable (.◜◡◝)

gambler vs shoot out AHHHHHHHHHHH i could literally wax poetry about both of these songs (especially changkyun's "don't you wanna feel aliiiiive?" in gambler that part takes me OUT) but the intro to shoot out is just EVERYTHING to me!!! it's second only to beast mode (god i really want to see them live just so i can experience the beast mode intro in person...) yeah this one is so close tho i remember instantly falling in love w gambler when it came out </3 mx serious does not miss

> make me choose <

#ask game #i-like-yoongi-a-latte #lol the way im a jenozen first and a human second 😔💘 #i love ur new url btw <3 #edit: okay omg i forgot to post the monsta x one at first but i've added it now oops

Rommel Akeem Cummins will have to spend at least 36 more years in jail for killing a man on party vessel MV DreamChaser four years ago. Justice Carlisle Greaves imposed a life sentence on the Vauxhall No. 2, Christ Church resident with a tariff of 40 years in prison before he is eligible for release. However, given that he has already spent 1 355 days on remand, which the judge rounded off to four years, he has been left with a minimum of 36 years behind bars. Cummins was found guilty last December of fatally shooting 32-year-old Dave Archer, who was working as a private security guard on the party boat, on the night of June 10, 2019. As he delivered his judgment, a toughtalking Justice Greaves issued yet another warning to perpetrators of gun crimes that “when they do this foolishness, if they survive, their time in jail must be long because the risk is too great to free you early enough that you will continue this mayhem”. During the trial, the court heard from the lead investigator that Cummins admitted to shooting Archer in his stomach at “point blank” range because the guard was beating three of his friends. According to the evidence, while Cummins was not on the cruise, having left after dropping one of his friends there, he returned dockside with a gun. When the MV DreamChaser docked, he boarded the boat after hearing the DJ urging people to stop fighting, walked up to Archer and shot him. “You acted as a hitman, an enforcer,” Justice Greaves said as he sentenced Cummins. “The case has elements of gangism . . . . You knew your men had gone on the cruise, you went to see them get on [and] went back . . . . You took your mother’s motorcycle … went and recovered the firearm . . . to go where, to do what? You would ride them on the gun? You going to put them on the bullet and shoot them home? . . . . No, you were going there as the enforcer and as soon as you got the news that one of your men had been in a tussle you walked right on to the people’s boat, barged on to the people’s boat, go right up, first man you see shot him close range. That is aggravating.” Read the rest below 👇🏾 https://www.instagram.com/p/CpX3hxgLj1HJ4MujADY0nalnrpiF6O7dak9_ng0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Love Talk: Raul

What do you look for in a girlfriend?

I think romantic relationships are something that won’t work out unless both people feel affection for each other at the same intensity. A person who has the same humor, and who shares the same feelings when we look at the same thing is nice. I think if I’m with my girlfriend I will laugh with my mouth wide open like when I’m with the members! Having no reaction and ignoring are strictly prohibited! I’m still a kid so it will probably make me happy if an older woman teaches me important life lessons and does tsukkomi on me. A person who is interesting to talk to is also nice~.

How would you convey your feelings of “like” to your girlfriend who worries a lot?

Sending sweet messages and suddenly giving presents, aren’t those behaviors of a cheater? That’s why I will probably just increase the number of messages I send but will keep the contents the same. More than that, I would be more worried if it’s my fault that my girlfriend is feeling anxious. I’ll keep thinking “Was she not able to stay as someone she liked?”, “Did I do something lame?”. I feel like something will change if I try to think about it. 

Is it good to keep secrets from your girlfriend?

The word “secret” itself has a negative implication, but I think it's okay not to say anything you don’t want to. I will probably ask if there is something I want to know. But if I get the feeling that she doesn’t want to talk about it then I’ll stop. It might be something that she’ll feel comfortable sharing after some time. If she gets a message from a guy in front of me, then I’ll get curious but I won’t think of it as something shameless or something (she has) to be guilty about. Instead, I would probably feel relieved. 

Who will you invite on your only rest day this month: your friends or your girlfriend?

Girlfriend. It’s also because I don’t have a lot of friends (laughs) but if it’s the only day off in a month then you would choose your girlfriend. If you’re in a relationship then it’s obvious that your girlfriend’s desire to meet you is more important than wanting to meet your friends. It would naturally make me feel like “I want to answer her feelings!”. It’s ok to just spend time together on that precious day! If my partner wants to do something then I’ll do my best to make it happen. Being able to meet only once a month, isn’t that as intense as a long-distance relationship? (laughs).

Please tell us about a recent happening.

The members are usually together talking or playing during breaks in MV shooting. It made me realize again that Snow Man members really get along well. Playing 5-syllable rule shiritori was surprisingly fun! I really like the atmosphere when the members seriously have fun even when there are no cameras around.

Quackenbush had parked her running car near where Melton was trying to sleep on Music Row, and the loud music and exhaust from the vehicle began to disturb him.Melton then confronted Quackenbush, and the two got into a heated argument, Melton testified at the trial back in April. At some point during the argument, Quackenbush even asked him “if he wanted to die tonight,” Melton recalled.Melton said he had already begun to walk away when Quackenbush exited her vehicle and shot him in the abdomen. She fired two rounds total, only one of which struck Melton.Police claimed she and a companion then left the scene and drove to a Taco Bell without reporting the shooting. An unidentified person who eventually found Melton wounded called 9-1-1. Melton ultimately survived the incident, though he did require three surgeries.At the trial, Quackenbush testified in her own defense and claimed that she felt threatened by Melton. Her father, Jesse Quackenbush, who is also an attorney, alleged that she was just trying to scare Melton and issued him a “warning” before firing in his general direction.“She pulled off one round as a means of warning, not intending to hit him or kill him,” Jesse Quackenbush told reporters. “She thought she pointed far enough away from him to just scare him away, and he kept coming and she shot another round.”Katie Quackenbush was then arrested and charged with attempted first-degree murder and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. The jury found her guilty of the lesser misdemeanor charge of reckless endangerment.At the sentencing on Thursday, Quackenbush apologized to Melton and to those affected by the shooting. However, she positioned herself as a victim as well.“Millions of people were making fun of me online,” she said at the hearing. “I was convicted by the community before trial.“For five years, I’ve been having to live with this … social punishment,” she added. “Even after all of this is over, Google is always going to be there. This will follow me for the rest of my life.”She also expressed fears that a prison sentence would ruin the lives of her children, all of whom have different fathers.Prosecutors, by contrast, emphasized that Melton was unarmed during the attack and that Quackenbush has a history of issuing threats against people in text messages and on social media. She even once threatened to strike a baby with a brick.However, she was never convicted regarding any other incident and has attempted to put her life on a better path. She moved from Nashville to Amarillo, Texas, and is close to finishing her college degree.The judge ultimately sentenced her 11 months and 29 days of probation for the crime.“This has been the worst experience of my life,” Quackenbush stated at the hearing, “but I’m grateful that I had it because it has changed me so dramatically to the core.“Sometimes hard lessons are the best lessons.”Bonus: Root Cellar That Can Be Used as a BunkerDo you remember the old root cellars our great-grandparents used to have?

Obey Me Brother react to an idol!MC

 hi this is my first set of headcanons for the brothers  👉👈 i apologize if the brothers are ooc in this, though i tried my best jksajdufhj. i hope you enjoy!

++++

Warning(s): Cursing

Reader Pronouns: They/Them (4A)

Background: MC is a very popular idol in their world, best known for their impressive singing skills, music and the amount of rewards they have recieved because of their talents. Surprisingly, they aren’t only popular in their world, but in the Devildom and Celestial Realm as well.

++++

Lucifer

since lucifer didnt actually read who you were on the paper that had blown to his feet, he had no idea you were an idol at first

but after couple days at RAD, he noticed that random demons kept coming up to you in between classes and didnt leave until the next class started

most of them had come up to you with a pen and some paper asking for your autograph

he was just like ??? 

after a while of this happening luci decided to just ask you straight up why they were coming up to you like that and you had told him you were an idol back in the human realm

that explains it

he honestly doesnt mind

if people start hating on you in public, he’ll honestly just shoot them a death glare and it works

so damn well

he got too much pride to deal with those underlings

if you start working on music/mv projects that you left off on in the human realm (like shooting mv or singing) he will absolutely rent you a recording booth or fuck, even a whole ass theatre if you needed it

sometimes he likes to sit in the recording booth and listen to you sing for a bit before returning to his stacks of mammon’s bills 

v proud of you dont get him wrong

but he will make sure you’ve done all your homework first LMAO 🛌

Mammon

when mammon first found out you were an idol he started digging through boxes that had been in his closet

after what seemed like hours he finally found the box he was looking for and he started to dig through it

he pulled out an old camera that levi gave him a couple hundred years ago bc he said he didnt need it

mammon had the best idea ever, he could sell pictures of you to your fans for at least 10,000 grimm each.

surprisingly it worked

like really well

so well that you found out

you confronted him about it, saying that you find hella uncomfy with him snapping pictures of you at random times. not only that but it was an invasion of your privacy

despite him earning so much grimm, he agrees to stop but keeps some of the pictures to himself to look at when he misses you 

if you get hate in public he’ll turn into his demon form and scare the person away, maybe scaring you in the procees but apologizes right away if he does

if you start working on music/mv projects he’ll offer to help you shoot mvs or record you singing if you need the help

just make sure he gets some credit for helping you

but he genuinely thinks you look amazing in anything, like anything

you could be wearing a big bird cosplay and he’ll think you look breathtaking

gets you to model w him sometimes

Leviathan

wait you look really familiar

really really familiar

you almost look and sound like that one really popular human idol that hes simped for time and time again

wait

oh shit

v embarrassed when he finds out it is actually you and gets really nervous when hes talking to you

is the demon asking for your autograph

but you have no idea how much power you have over this man

you could tell him to come out of his room and he’d come out with ease, no protesting, no nothing

may ask you to record a ringtone for him for when he wakes up

even after months of you two knowing each other, he still gets flustered when you start talking to him with your stupid cute ass eyes and your perfect hair and your perfect voice and your perfect-

yeah you get the point AKJSDKLASFBG

if you get hate in public he will deadass growl at the person before escorting you to your favorite ice cream place

if you start working on music/mv projects he will be by your side 24/7

he wants to see the god/ess themselves at work

hes like your personal butler for the time youre working on the projects and its adorable

hes bby

Satan

when he finds out youre an idol he will 100% voulenteer to help you write lyrics for your next song

but besides that, like luci, he really doesnt mind

he hears some other demons talking shit about you after art class and he’ll be angy as usual, but after stomping off and accidentally bumping into you he just

turned into puddy??

idk what it was but it was something abt they way your hair was a lil messed up and looking at him like that wish a small embarrassed look

just wow

every ounce of anger just evaporated while you apologized over and over again because the face he was making made him look like he was angry for some reason 

when he snaps back into reality he says its cool but then asks if youd like to go to the library w him because honestly youre his safe haven now

sometimes he asks you to hum a tune for him when hes reading

if the demons start hating again, you may need to hold him back KJASNDJFG 

if you start working on music/mv projects, again, will voulenteer for helping with lyrics

if you already have the lyrics down he’ll review them and give constructive critisisim if needed

or he’ll just write every lyric himself and you can judge it after hes done

Asmodeus

is not surprised at all

hes actually heard some of your songs and damn id he doesnt have them on his “on repeat” playlist on devilfy

he thinks you have an outstanding voice, not only that but youre a gorgeous lookin thing

asmo likes to hit on you a lot because he likes to see that flustered look on your face but he would never over your boundaries

he wouldnt want to be over the internet bc he made one of the most praised artists in devildom (thats not even a demon) angry

asmo doesnt want to be cancelled yet JKSJKDGFUA

but seriously, he thinks youre amazing

like really amazing

there like no lust involved in his admiration for you he just geniunely thinks youre cool

but he does think you look amazing 24/7

will ask you to model things for him for devilgram

if you get hate in public, he’ll hold your hands and shower you with compliments and tells you to ignore them

if you start working on music/mv project he will insist on doing backup vocals or being a backup dancer

or like the head backup dancer or whatever theyre called

is like your personal stylist wherever you go as well

along with that he can also help you come up with a beat for your song if you need one, he is more than happy to help someone like you

Beelzebub

he honestly thinks youre really cool

asmo showed him one of your songs before and thought it sounded really catchy

not only that, you sounded beautiful, almost like you were actually from the celestial realm, consider him a fan

so when you showed up for the new exchange program he was surprised but got really giddy

was one of the demons who asked for your autograph

you gave him a sweet smile after he asked and he just- melted

man down man down

will want to spend lost of time with you and take you to ristorante six on fridays as his treat

you usually end up paying though which he feels really guilty about but you tell him its fine

youre an idol who is loaded to the chest, youve got nothing to lose KLSKADJHF

if you get hate in public he’s also the type to death glare but people dont really hate on you in public when youre w him bc he has a naturally scary aura

lowkey thought you wouldnt like him at first :(

if you start working on mv/music projects he’ll start cooking you meal and making sure you get enough water

will absolutely cook your favorite meal- or any meal in fact- if you request it

if you dont request anything he’ll just wing it and make something he think you’ll like kjskdhsf

Belphegor

couldnt care less  🧍

he thinks your voice is pretty nice tho

hears beel listening to your music once and agrees w him on you having a really nice voice

lowkey sing him to sleep

like its super cute

plus he thinks youre gorgeous?? like wow you rlly pretty

once tried rubbing your face bc he thought you were wearing makeup but when nothing came up on his thumb he muttered a small “wow” and hugged you

it was the cutest thing ever ohmy god KJSJDSIF

ever since that day hes obtained a habit of rubbing your face when he finds you stunning or at random moments

if you get hate in public he will literally murder the person?? but in like an alleyway or something

he’ll say something like “wait here” and walks toward a dark area to do his thang

when he comes back he’s covered in this red shit and you worry for him but he just glosses over it and takes you into a pillow shop LMAO

he is v protective over you

if you start working on mv/music projects he’ll occasionally help out but most of the time he’s sleeping so he doesnt really care 

sometimes he’ll give beat/lyric suggestions or help flim the mv but thats it  🧍
