Who are your top 5 (or top 3) favorite characters each from Jujutsu Kaisen and Fairy Tail? And why you loved them? And your top 5 favorite moments each from both series? Thx :D

yippeee thank you for the askkk :3 here's my top 5 from jjk:

1. okkotsu yuta, fell in love tbh like i was reading the manga and watching season one in 2020 so when yuta was revealed in s1 (v briefly) i got interested and picked the manga up and ooh la la 😻😻 15 year old me was so captivated by this guy like wdym he's super strong, handsome and also an absolute gentleman??? he's literally my bf please 😕💔 i have a type and i'm not ashamed (dudes that are nervous and shy and look like absolute losers but could actually wreck your shit yes sir)

2. nanami kento; bro IS HIM HE GETS ALL THE BITCHES 😤😤 he's lit a gentleman, makes good money, strong AND he's got great looks???? mans cured my daddy issues INSTANTLY, and in season two??? i was going absolutely FERAL oh nooo season two nanami save me season two nanamiiiii

3. geto suguru, are you noticing a pattern here have you seem this guy, like bro was still him even after he defected wdymmm his high school persona is what got me tho 🤭 i can see why he was more popular than gojo, i like adult geto just as much thou because oh my ghee i need that hair routine

4. zen'in mai AND maki, listen bro, i fucking LOVE LOVE LOVEEEE THE SISTERS. idc. i'll stay defending mai, y'all just don't get her like i do y'all domt get her like iiii doooooo 😫😫 i may be a little more biased towards mai because liek i relate to her sm on a different level but hey, sisters. love those two. lit me.

5. mahoraga. i will not elaborate. all ima say rn is: hear me out.

for fairy tail here's my top five and why i love them sm :3

1. erza scarlet, queen is SLAYING. girl's power is literally to serve absolute cunt while beating the living shit out of you??? what's NOT to love about erza? she rightfully has the title as the fairy queen 🤭

2. lucy heartfilia, tbh she's up there because i wanted to spite the immature little boys in the fandom that hated lucy because she was "weak" (bffr my queen is NOT weak) but i actually grew to like her character a lot because lucy has shown herself to have amazing character development, like you go girl

3. jellal/mystogan, listen man i'm an absolute sucker for this guy, he has me on a chokehold 😞 "it was the color of your hair" sir please, sir PLEASEEEE NOTICE ME I HAVE RED HAIR (my hair is pink) (that's it, that's the reason he's so handsome)

4. zeref. ZEREF IS SO UNDErLOVED. when i said i liked guys who looked absolutely pathetic and look like losers i was NOT joking 💀 bro looks like he listens to pierce the veil or panic at the disco (their old music) and vent to the sadder songs but would absolutely fucking destroy you in one touch 😭

5. ok this is controversial...but acnologia. listen. listen. his human form?? just like mahoraga. hear me out. i will not elaborate.

i don't really have a top five moments from either show, unfortunately :( both are equally amazing to me and there's just too many scenes to pick from, i'd be writing an essay 😭 if i had to choose from one thou, from fairy tail is when natsu sees erza crying and absolutely loses it and jjk is actually in the intro of the first season, where itadori is recording everyone it's just so sweet :( the calm before the storm

You can't just tell us you have thoughts about the ending and then not say them!! Tell us!! (If you want to)

okay so big fuck-you to the gamer bros who bitched about the ending not being satisfying or bloody enough or whatever the hell. listen to me. the ending of disco elysium begins when you get on that damn boat, okay? it's not just the 2nd tribunal/meeting the posse/whatever you refer to it as. that's why it forces you to commit to finishing the game when you get on the boat. the ending comes in three stages, as follows:

the plot wrap-up with dros. here is where you get your "solving the case" payoff. yay, you did it! you followed the clues and here's the killer! it ties together all the stereo-investigations as well as several setting elements, like the specter of old communism, the fallout of the revolution, how martinaise came to be what it is. great, the detective has cracked the case, but it's unsatisfying alone; he's a dying old man. he will never see justice. also, what is justice? are you, as a cop in an occupied territory, capable of bringing anything even remotely like justice? this alone is not the ending.

the emotional payoff with the phasmid. assuming you get this scene, harry is rewarded with the culmination of his efforts to change or be more aware as a person. this is harry's big shift in perspective. you can ask the phasmid: "have i always thought like this?" and they reply "no. this is a revelation for you." this has the potential to be a true tipping point for harry's trajectory. this miracle, this gift, may really change harry's outlook; if anything was going to truly course-correct him, it's this. it's your reward as the player for making the "correct" choices to allow him this- you're given this beautiful scene where even *kim* is forced to confront his own perspectives. but this alone is not the ending.

the character wrap-up on harry during the crosswalk dream and the jeanfrontation (jean confrontation). the crosswalk gives you some insight into how harry still sees dora, who prior to this moment was given very little voice. it's a deeply biased representation, but it finally allows us some knowledge on what their relationship was like and how harry probably behaved to drive her away. then jean's input, in turn, gives us (biased!!) information on some of the facts about harry that we'd otherwise have no way of knowing. the whole game, you're building harry how you want him- then here, in the last scene, the game says here. here's some people who knew him *before*. you know how you made him, but here's how he *was*, and how he could be again. ultimately you get to find out whether or not he returns to work right away, but this alone is STILL NOT THE ENDING!

the ending is all of this taken together!! it is built up in stages, which are linearized in a way that almost nothing else in the game is! each of these parts serves a different purpose and they work together to give us a final sequence that adequately ties up the plot while still managing to give the most focus towards the themes of the game and the characters involved.

#sorry i have feelings about the people who shit talk the ending without really taking the time to understand it #the ending would not have been nearly as good without any one of those above mentioned parts #kiwipost #and the phasmid scene being the optional/partially missable one makes sense #because maybe your harry learned nothing. maybe he didn't improve at all. so why would there be any emotional fulfillment? #also of course the crosswalk is optional but you'll still get a lot of insight from the jeanfrontation alone #obvious disclaimer that no jean is not an unbiased presenter of Harry Biographical Information #but he's the best we've got #ironically he's the best harry had too. lol #ask #gen meta

SOPHIE ELLIS-BEXTOR - "MURDER ON THE DANCEFLOOR" (2001) (2024)

23 years on and this groove's still got some life in it...

[7.11]

Thomas Inskeep: Sophie Ellis-Bextor should've been the next Kylie — and for a couple years, almost was. Her 2001 debut album Read My Lips spun off a trio of top 3 singles in the UK, including this one, which has over time become her true classic. Dua Lipa's entire career was birthed in this single, the dictionary definition of ebullient dance-pop. (It's fitting that Lipa's "Houdini" is currently the most-played song on UK radio as this single is re-ascendant.) SEB has never gone anywhere: she's still making music, touring (based on her 2022 Sophie Ellis-Bextor's Kitchen Disco (Live at the London Palladium), she still sounds great), and is now a DJ on BBC Radio 2. She just didn't become the massive pop star she deserved to be. Now, thanks to its placement in a climactic scene in Saltburn, her greatest single is getting its flowers, climbing back up to #2 in the UK (so far — my fingers are crossed it can make it that final notch higher). "Dancefloor" still sounds fresh, certainly fresher than the glut of '90s-sampling dance-pop dominating the UK charts. This single sparkles, SEB giving a knowing wink as she sings, especially on the line "gonna burn this goddamn house right down." She knows what she's doing here: making magic.   [10]

Edward Okulicz: I bought this on single back in 2002, which tells you something (other than that I am old): it was an irresistible bit of sparkly disco radio pop back in the day. Move it forward or backwards a few years and it might have been an indie rock song for someone else, a filter house record, or (gulp) a Ronan Keating record. Fortunately that never occurred, and it's a delight to see a classic gain new fans from age groups and territories that didn't get it on saturation rotation. Part of it's the solid song by Gregg Alexander, who at his best was a master craftsman of a much-maligned form. Another part of it's the much nimbler, slinky production compared to the rest of his soft-rock oeuvre. And a very, very large part of it is the Debbie-Harry-but-English pose of Ellis-Bextor, too cool to do anything but be filmed dancing from the waist up while she stomps her heel into your eardrums. "Murder" really has everything — a catchy chorus, the tinniest guitar solo ever, hooks that fall as much off the words as the melody — and so is perfect for every occasion, even a movie I am never, ever going to see.  [10]

Alfred Soto: Like the Pet Shop Boys' "Rent," waaayyyy too good for Saltburn — perhaps Emerald Fennell thought their incandescence would rub off on her as if it were glitter. Part of a vanished climate of French house-inspired crossover pop like Kylie Minogue's "Love at First Sight," Sophie Ellis-Bextor presages Katy B's regular-person anonymity: she surveys the strings and rhythm guitar licks like a party hostess keeping an eye on the band while sipping her prosecco. [8]

Alex Clifton: I haven't seen Saltburn and frankly have no interest in it, but this film has led to the Sophie Ellis-Bextor renaissance which is a net good for society. "Murder on the Dancefloor" is just brilliantly composed and produced; it feels as fresh today as it did twenty years ago. There are so many thrilling little moments from Ellis-Bextor's vocal delivery: the way her voice curves into "about your kiiiiiind," the little rasp in "there may be others," the little trill of "dancefloor" in the bridge. I feel so biased writing this review because I've literally been listening to this song since I was a kid, but I'm so jazzed about "Murder" finally receiving the love it deserves.  [10]

Ian Mathers: How can you not love pop music when it'll randomly do things like this, suddenly giving us a song to review from before the earliest days of the Jukebox, that is here purely because of its use in a movie that I have not seen but am informed was probably picked on the basis of Ellis-Bextor's plot arc in the music video. And if I'm not willing to go to bat for it quite as hard as I would for "Running Up That Hill," I did love "Murder on the Dancefloor" in 2001 and it still sounds great now. I don't find myself having any reaction more complicated than happiness at hearing it again and that particular joy of people liking something you like. [8]

Nortey Dowuona: If you told me this came out in 2021 and Emerald Fennell asked Sophie to use it in her movie set in 2001 because it was just that on point in depicting the time, I would agree. Then after taking out my phone, I'd be punched in the face and meekly give up my phone. Then, after watching you sprint into a nightclub, I'd immediately thank goodness you didn't ask for the passcode and run like hell for the closest subway. I am three stops from home before I remember this did not actually come out in 2021; there are other Sophie Ellis-Bextor songs and jailbreaking is a thing now. [10]

Leah Isobel: RIP Mark Fisher. You would've written a hell of a blog post about Saltburn. [7]

Mark Sinker: Necessary digression 1: heraldry as a science in Europe is roughly 900 years old, a bright and stylised easy-read guide, highly rule-bound and policed, to class and land and title — which is to say to material history (its jargon-field is still mostly words not otherwise used in the UK since the 14th century; even property law is less lousy with extinct Norman French terms). And like many very aged things, it has necessarily also passed through phases and fashions, as technologies of display arrive and depart. In fact the first inkling I had that I wasn’t going to get on with Saltburn was the typeface chosen for the title on-screen at the outset. It’s a font with a fairly specific ill-set ungainliness to it: it wants to have the weight of "pleasingly and weirdly old; not how we do things now," but it might just as well be some off-the-peg super-modern studio confection — or even (though I slightly doubt this) something custom-fashioned purely for the film. There’s no discernible care to the choice. Necessary digression 2: back in the late '70s when Peter Saville was busily and insouciantly borrowing from this or that actual-real document or design, of such-and-such era, part of the point was the severity of the decontextualisation — except there was a rigour to the carelessness. The item was being supplied with an iconicity (the very word) pulling you in towards whatever the item was that Factory Records was then placing on the market. The surface glamour of the original was to be funneled through in such a way that its weight amplified only the new relationship. In fact (in its stylised easy-read way) Saville’s work was ruthlessly the opposite of heraldry, so very good at managing the ambient melancholy that suffuses the wider Factory moment; all the blocks and counterspells necessary to conjure here beyond the end of creative time as the context for the music to have presence. Anyway, long story short (lol) Saltburn – which would love to believe it has accessed the aura, for example, of the cover of New Order’s Technique — is attempting to juggle the same double burden. It wants to conjure a play between the decontextualised pull of 24-hour-party-people hedonism and the real ineluctable unremovable weight of actual history and actual class and actual land and actual title. Except for its story to work it needs both dimensions (hedonism and weight; heraldry and careless scribble) to register, as Saville absolutely didn’t. No block, no counterspells, nothing to dampen the disturbances — so when poor old Sophie EB’s voice and poise are scalpeled out of their 20-year-old chart context and abruptly c/p-ed into whichever late-stage scene it is, well, here they are, as a clumsy synopsis (calculation, side-eye, dancing, death) the structure really shouldn’t require, in a role the song is the wrong mood (a faintly gauche trifle, a chirpy hustle) to deliver. The movie never works out where it gets its deep reveal from, or what shape its politics are (if politics is even a useful word here). Ill-set ungainliness all over again: the carelessness floods back into the borrowed adornment, and breaks it in pieces. I don’t even love this song that much but I hate how it gets what value it has so gracelessly driven out of it.  [2]

Jacob Satter: At the risk of killing the groove, this is a pretty boring choice for a manufactured revival track. Call me back when the kids discover "It's In Our Hands." [4]

Jacob Sujin Kuppermann: I'm glad everyone's having fun here but the more I try to enjoy this — either on its own terms or as an icon of nostalgia — I get nothing. Unremarkable in any year. [4]

Lauren Gilbert: It was a [10] in 2001, it's still a [10] now. [10]

Katherine St. Asaph: The thing about it being 2024 is that in the intervening 20-plus years since "Murder on the Dancefloor" came out, approximately ninety million more disco-revival tracks came out. Some of them are by Sophie Ellis-Bextor, even. And so many of those tracks are smooth where this is stiff, magisterial where this is timid (and not in a winsome Katy B kind of way; Katy got better arrangements), charged where this is inert and just generally unmurderous. It's actually startling how inessential this sounds by comparison. [3]

Oliver Maier: Even as a youth, before my brain was burdened with indulgent critical vocabulary, I felt like this song just didn't work. I can't pin down whether "Murder" is knowingly a little chintzy (dare I say camp?) or if it's just cheap tat trying sincerely to sound boutique. Benefit of the doubt granted or not, Ellis-Bextor sounds like she's doing karaoke off the sofa. [4]

Michael Hong: When Ellis-Bextor pauses, it's easy, like a quick and graceful end to a conversation rather than the expectant response to her more spirited word choice. She's committed to this casualness, easily slipping away at the hint of a faux pas, which makes the occasional lingering word more charming. "About your kind," she sings, as if looking you up and down, wondering if she's got it wrong this time; the word "others" is trailed as if she's daring you to eliminate the competition. In that way, "you better not kill the groove," delivered with such nonchalance, becomes a fervid instruction. [7]

Will Adams: It's cute, Sophie is ever-charming, but there's real problem when you've got songs in your catalog with titles like "Bittersweet" and "Heartbreak Make Me a Dancer" that offer way more palpable drama than the one with the word "Murder." [5]

Joshua Minsoo Kim: Every other line is threatening here. “Stay another song,” “Don’t think you’ll get away,” “You better not kill the groove.” Sophie Ellis-Bextor isn’t demanding fear, though. That’s what makes “Murder on the Dancefloor” so irresistible: she sounds like a friend, albeit one who’s deathly serious about having a good time. When you hear her, you believe it can be this good for you too. [8]

Taylor Alatorre: Wow. They were allowed to make these slick disco-pop reimaginings with actual guitar solos back then? We must retvrn. [8]

Tara Hillegeist: It feels like a time capsule from another era in pop music entirely, because it is. There was a time when Ellis-Bextor's stately, imperial, nigh-inhuman precision of a delivery felt like nothing so much as the edifice within which pop star royalty could be crowned, particularly in the world of UK pop; it's still hard, even now, to deny the simple pleasures of someone who knows what her job is and then executes it flawlessly. But it's been over two decades since this song originally bowed, and it must be said that it was the impact of songs like, yes, "Murder" itself that raised pop music's skill floor high enough that such icy professionalism now feels like the most tiresome part of it — Dua Lipa does this regularly, after all, and with equal anonymity. No, what saves it, and ensures the song remains nothing so much as a delightful diversion (conditions of its resurgence be damned, I say), are the sampled whoops that come in beneath the guitar solo; notwithstanding that such a slice of controlled disco can credit itself with having a guitar solo to begin with, but the canned hype is such a stupendously goofy touch. It humanizes the song instantly, stripping the archness of its artifice aside to reveal the awkward smile underneath. The moment passes, of course. But the smile lingers. [7]

Anna Katrina Lockwood: I've been waiting 20+ years for an opportunity to issue a dissertation on the songwriting genius of Gregg Alexander and by god am I ready. Though it's hard to imagine it in a different form, "Murder on the Dancefloor" was apparently a cast-off single for Alexander's New Radicals debut, replaced by the equally glorious "You Get What You Give" — like, imagine being such a talented songwriter that you can just cast off a song like this, knowing you've got an equally great one to replace it with! "Murder on the Dancefloor" is just perfection in Ellis-Bextor's hands, with a galaxy of terrific choices in its production to go along with the amazing melodic structure. I still can't help but burst out laughing at the initial vocal hit in the intro on occasion, a perfect, delicately harmonized coo of "Murder!," cutting through the disco instrumental setup occurring all around. It's as great a moment of pop songwriting as I'm aware of — setting the expectation of the song's vibe from the outset. Ellis-Bextor's lyrics are outstanding, cleverly arch but not too shiny, in the thick of it yet also gliding past suavely. The song is incredibly detailed, a carefully calibrated piece — it lopes by with a relaxed stride rather than a reckless dash, a well-tailored Savile Row suit as opposed to an H&M tunic, cut to the millimeter. Yet it's also very clearly of the disco, built for singing along, difficult to avoid dancing to when it comes on. It turns on its heel at moments' notice, with layers of melody playing off each other throughout. Matt Rowe's efforts in production also deserve notice — this song sounds great, so distinctive that it is still eminently listenable 23 years on. I honestly have not a single thing to criticize about "Murder on the Dancefloor," and it's been a long time that I've considered it to be one of the truly great pop songs of my lifetime. It feels like incredibly just desserts to see it garnering so much praise now.  [10]

[octolingo-writes]

JRWI Characters and what musicals I think they’d like (going purely from what musicals I’m familiar with so this might be biased and I apologize)

Gillion feels like the kind of guy to like the Phantom of the Opera, purely because the music style seems like it would REALLY appeal to him (it’s loud!! And it’s more traditional operatic music which I also feel would fit him). Plus, the Phantom doesn’t win which Gill would appreciate (I think Pretzel would like it too).

Chip I think would be a Music Man fan, or Guys and Dolls. Stuff with lots of chorus-y parts and fun dancing. Music Man has tap dancing which I think Chip would really enjoy, plus the main character in MM is a scammer/traveling salesman and Chip could probably relate. I know a lot less about GaD, but it’s purely a vibes thing. The music seems like Chip would like it.

Jay, I think, would be a fan of more “traditional” musicals, but not to the degree of Phantom. She’d be more fond of Wicked, for example. I think she’d probably be reminded of her sister a lot watching that show, which could either be a good or a bad thing. And Wicked has some really cool special effects that I think Jay would really like, given her knack for inventions.

These two aren’t PCs but I feel obligated to do them anyways: Lizzy and Caspian would be Heathers and Les Mis fans, respectively. Heathers is loud and super fun and swears a lot (lmao) which feels like the type of music Lizzy could get behind. I think she’d like singing along with Veronica’s parts, she seems like she’d sound a lot like Veronica when she sings. With Caspian, I feel like Les Mis is a very elegant musical, and Caspian is a very elegant character. I think it would be the kind of musical to make him cry honestly. And it’s similar to opera, which I feel like would be popular in the Undersea.

I’m not going to do ALL the other JRWI PCs, that would take forever (I might do them later but not now). I’ll list a few if they seem very obvious:

Harlem would like Hamilton. It’s a rap musical, and it’s we know Harlem is a fan of rap. I think he’d cry when Phillip dies, not that he’ll admit it. Also, Legally Blonde! I think he’d be super embarrassed that he likes it so much, but it’s got the crazy, overdramatic vibe that he would like in a musical. I’m not sure if there are disco-style musicals, but if there were he would love those.

Br’aad and Sylnan would both be Beetlejuice fans. This is partly cause I saw an animatic of them with “Dead Mom” as the song and it killed me inside, but I think they would like it! Br’aad would definitely appreciate the humor, and both of them can relate to unlikable father figures (understatement). Sylnan might also be a Les Mis fan cause he can relate to the poverty-stricken lifestyle a little more than Br’aad, and I think Cosette would probably remind him of Katherine.

Alastyr would like The Addams Family. It’s got a super weird cast of characters I think he would enjoy, plus, super fun music! It’s not so serious that it would be a downer to watch but it’s got a message hidden under all that eyeliner and tango dancing. I think he’d like Wednesday a lot.

Taxi strikes me as Dear Evan Hansen kind of guy. While I personally don’t like DEH that much, I think the emotional-ness of it would really appeal to Taxi, and as far as I know there aren’t a lot of really loud and angry songs (besides “Good For You”). I don’t know if he would fully relate to Evan, but he could certainly sympathize.

Rumi/Elaina would like Six or Phantom. I think they’d like dramatic musicals with a lot of strong characters, and Six absolutely has a cast of strong female characters Rumi could get behind. Phantom, on the other hand, would be a relatable one for them. The Phantom’s whole character is that he hides behind a mask, and Rumi is literally a shapeshifter. Plus, they would love all the costumes in that show.

Dakota, and this may be a hot take, would like Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. I just feel like all the bright colors and the different song styles would be really eye-catching for him, plus, it’s got some humor! I think he’d like the Pharaoh character especially (Pharaoh is based off Elvis in that musical and he’s hilarious).

Well, that’s it for now! I tried not to repeat multiple times, so I hope I didn’t make any far reaches. Feel free to comment or reblog with your own ideas; I’d love to see them! I was working with my musical knowledge, which is a bit lacking at times. I’m not too familiar with some of the classics. Thanks for sticking around to read all these :D! Hope it was worth your time!

Heyyyyyy bestie!

Occasionally, I have the desire to pop onto Tumblr and attempt to relight the candle within me that still loves this hellsite and longs to return, and apparently this is one of those times. So tonight, I decided to come into your inbox and ask you a random question like old times,,,,, pray to god the ask doesn’t get eaten by the tumblr gods, depraved though the may be,,,,, anyway, here’s a thought, perhaps inspired by my impending SKZ concert (still screaming, crying, throwing up, wanting to eat glass, and commit murder over such a statement. Can you BELIEVE it’s actually gonna happen!!!! This isn’t just the fangirl pipe dream it usually is!!!!):

If you could attend any concert (past, present; not even currently in the works, outside of the majesty of your imagination), what would it be?? But like,,,, top 5 concerts because I know you have too much love in your heart to ever possibly choose just one <3

Also, I’m still exploring ATEEZ but I think it vital you know that I was seriously considering just making hongjoong my bias today and sticking by it, and then I found out,,,,,, he’s the shortest member of ATEEZ,,,,,, it was a joke I love my short kings, but idk how much of a joke it truly IS, anymore. I can’t deny the facts that beyond Namjoon, all my biases are the short ones,,,,,,,

Oh, lol, I forgot to share at least some of my ideal concerts:

Bastille for All This Bad Blood and/or Doom Days

5SOS for Youngblood and/or CALM

BTS for literally anything ever (they could make music with those free sound effects you can use for video editing and I would eat it up 😤😤)

Coldplay for Viva La Vida or Death and All of His Friends

Dvicio for literally any album/era post 2016. (I just haven’t given Justo Ahora enough plays to really get into it the way I currently get down to Impulso, Qué Tienes Tú, and EL LABERINTO)

Special shout out to Hozier, Depeche Mode, The Rose, Backstreet Boys, Billy Joel, Panic! At The Disco, and ONEUS <3. They would also be a dream, but I gotta prioritize at some point, and I might as well mention the less attainable concerts first 😭 rip to my favorite eras of these bands and/or the fact that they’ll never tour by me (dvicio come closer than Mexico City challenge,,,,, it’s hard enough to convince me to cross state lines,,,,)

ma'am I am blessing you kissing you tenderly for sending me this, I have been pondering this these past few days and I'm honestly just getting salty that no artist wants to come to Canada, let alone my province rip. Without further ado, here are my Top 5 Concerts:

BTS (I would agree I would literally not care whatever era, for whatever setlist, but if I have to be 100% honest I'd kill to go to their Love Yourself tour, every fancam I've seen, every performance we've gotten filmed, I NEED!)

Taylor Swift - Eras Tour (there still might be a chance for me to attend. Please miss blondie release the international dates I will commit crime to get hands on tickets)

Agust D (can you believe Yoongi is going on a world tour and going to like 10 countries. Askjfs I get it with his enlistment and all and we're for sure getting concert clips but I WANT TO BE IN THE ROOM WHERE IT HAPPENS!!! Plus I'm 90% we're gonna get Tony Montana with Jimin and I would and will go insane when that happens)

Seventeen - Be The Sun Tour (I got legit post concert depression when this ended and I didn't even attend

Twenty One Pilots - The Bandito Tour (bruh I sooo should have caved and got tickets back in 2018. Every single time I listen to Trench - one of my favourite albums of all time - I constantly think of how amazing it would be to hear live. and then I die a little inside knowing I'll never get the chance)

honourable mentions are: Coldplay, Conan Gray, the 1975, Arctic Monkeys, ONE OK ROCK, Nothing But Thieves, Hozier, NF (again), Stray Kids, The Rose, Bastille, The Weeknd, 5SOS, Chase Atlantic, Panic! At The Disco

#ma'am you're so correct for your top concerts #you get tickets I get tickets too right?? #also I KNOW YOUR SKZ CONCERT IS COMING UP #im not at all jealous. nope. not at all #youre gonna be in the same room as lee felix and I could never be more normal with that information #expecting ALL the photos and videos #also yea ateez >> #your brand of biases will NEVER cease to make me funny #in theory I would like to go to a blackpink concert but . . . yeah.

what are your thoughts on bad decisions? I kinda thought it was okay and i mostly like jimin and jungkook's parts (maybe i'm biased). I honestly felt like tae and jin's parts were quite unnoticeable (?) which could have been the production or maybe they just didn't fit the song as well i'm not sure. to add onto that though I actually think that they only really shine in more specific styles/genres like for jin songs like yours/epiphany, while jungkook and jimin are a little bit better at adapting to the song kind of? Although maybe i'm completely off since I don't know much about singing

Hi Anon!

The song itself I like; it's probably the only BTS collab I like other than Suga/Psy. It's just a well-crafted song with a nice disco beat. I do agree however that Jin and Tae were not overly noticeable; I did hear Tae well near the end, tho. I think it's difficult to hammer in 4 different vocalists along with your main guy (Blanco) and the rapper (Snoop). "BTS genre" does this well because their producers are used to leveraging 7 different voices and equalizing things. I think other producers are little more pragmatic and are going to end up highlighting 1 or 2 people out of the 4 or more people they're using. For me, Jimin came through the best and clearest.

I love both Jin and Tae's voices, and I don't think it's a case of Jimin and Jungkook being better at adapting. I think it comes down to how the producer uses them. Epiphany is a great song. I just think, in general, BTS' producers don't use either of their voices well and tend to make all the vocalists sing in registers so high they don't fit either of Jin or Tae's voices well. They don't get the best out of Jungkook either. People used to call him "blandy" as an insult, and it's funny because I find his covers full of so much more emotion than what comes through in BTS songs, but that's just my personal opinion.

I might be in the minority saying I think the MV for Bad Decisions works, though the "Bad Decision" made is a little tenuous. There's some satire about fandom there that doesn't feel ill-intended to me. Snoop's part of the track feels like the weakest Snoop has ever been, which is a disappointment but I'd be lying if I said I thought he'd be able to go hard on a BTS track. His style and BTS' are living in two different worlds, lol. Still, I like the track, and it may stand the test of time.

Beyoncé's "Renaissance": a futuristic take on music of the past

Beyoncé is an iconic and well-renowned artist in the modern musical landscape. She is known for her incredible voice and bad bitch mentality. Her songs exude sheer confidence and her sexiness is undeniable. It would be unreasonable to discuss Beyoncé and not acknowledge her adoring and ginormous fanbase. Beyoncé has amassed millions of fans who have stayed dedicated to her and her music for years. I have always been a casual fan of Beyoncé and enjoy her music mostly for nostalgic entertainment purposes since I grew up with her music from the early 2000s and 2010s. I have always been impressed by the control she has over her voice and the talent and skill she has for singing. However, I have never been super intrigued by her occasional dip into rapping as I find her singing voice to be most intriguing.

On her latest album, Beyoncé explores topics ranging from sex, love, freedom, hard work, and taking on a new journey in life. The soundscape of this album lies mostly in dance hall music with a driving beat, taking inspiration from disco and electronic music of the 70s and 80s. Bey even makes direct reference to disco music of the 70s in "SUMMER RENAISSANCE" in which she interpolates Donna Summer's 1977 hit "I Feel Love".

"SUMMER RENAISSANCE" by Beyonce (1:05-1:27)

Donna Summer's "I Feel Love" (0:44-1:43)

We also see her reference the 1999 hit "I'm Too Sexy" by Right Said Fred on "ALIEN SUPERSTAR".

Beyonce's "ALIEN SUPERSTAR" (0:56-1:11)

Right Said Fred's "I'm Too Sexy" (0:25-0:40)

Overall, this album contains mainly dance hall and R&B music with infusions of 80s synth pop, 70s disco, and afrobeat music. The album cover and theme itself is that of afro-futurism and explores supernatural subjects and creatures such as unicorns and aliens. On this album, Beyonce also explores black joy in songs such as "CUFF IT" and "MOVE". She explores self love and body positivity on "COZY" and throughout the album.

My favorite tracks of this album include "BREAK MY SOUL", "SUMMER RENAISSANCE", "CUFF IT" and "ALIEN SUPERSTAR". My least favorite tracks were "THIQUE" and "I'M THAT GIRL". Songs I thought were just okay include "AMERICA HAS A PROBLEM", "ALL UP IN YOUR MIND", "HEATED", "MOVE", "VIRGO'S GROOVE", "CHURCH GIRL", "COZY", and "ENERGY".

Overall, I quite enjoyed this album and would rate it a 6.5/10. I thought that the genres of music she fused and experimented with were intriguing and the funkier, groovy R&B esque songs where her voice was on full display were my favorite. Unfortunately, on the songs that took on more of a club, dance hall music sound with clunky percussion and distorted wooziness, I felt as though this did not compliment her vocals in a harmonius way. I may be biased as someone who prefers traditional R&B rather than electronic dance music but I felt as though the songs on this album that took on this sound were pretty uninspired and only served the purpose of being a hit to play at a club. Additionally, I felt that the lyricism on this album was at times poor and explored the same subject matter over and over. On the song "THIQUE" in particular, Bey's confidence, sexuality, and wealth on the track were expressed through lyrics such as "Ass getting bigger, Cash getting bigger" and on "HEATED", "got a lot of bands, got a lot of Chanel on me". I didn't feel as though these lyrics were very complex or had a deeper meaning. They mainly felt as though Bey was flaunting her wealth and looks through braggadocio. I preferred the lyrics off of "PLASTIC OFF THE SOFA", "BREAK MY SOUL", "SUMMER RENAISSANCE" and "MOVE" the most. I am personally not a fan of lyrics that explore ego and wealth and instead enjoy lyrics that come from the heart. In the songs aforementioned, Bey discusses a long-standing relationship and all the little things she loves about her partner, how spending time with her girlfriends allows her to enjoy the sweeter moments in life, and how she feels liberated and motivated to live her most authentic life.

To conclude, this album had both its impressive and underwhelming moments but I do appreciate what Beyoncé is doing on this album. I love the futuristic theme and how each song can be read as a pep talk for living your life to the fullest and loving yourself. Beyoncé has always been a role model for women and black women in particular, to be who they are unapologetically. In my opinion, she pioneered the current female Hip Hop artists who explore the topic of confidence through sexual and suggestive lyrics in pop music such as Megan Thee Stallion and Doja Cat. This album really encapsulates the elements that the public loves most about Beyoncé; her infectious dance-worthy tunes, her incredible tone of voice and skillful vocal runs, as well as her freedom of sexuality and love of self. Though this is not my favorite Beyoncé album, there are certainly many interesting elements of electronic music and references to music of that past that I would like to her touch upon in future albums. She will continue to be her original self and there is no replicating her "unique" sound and personality.

hey! what do you think of the new p!atd song? i'm not a big fan, the chorus is catchy i suppose but lyrically it's not good, but i might just be biased

hm, it was a bit better than i thought it would be. though by that i dont mean it was amazing by any means, just more tolerable than pftw (so far, guess theres a whole album coming)

its very catchy so ill give him that. but the lyrics are bad and it sounds very fake and mainstream (which is like, the most emo way i can possibly put this sjfskfhshf, but seriously) which again........ good for him, its just depressing to have something so far derived from early panic! still go under the same name when it may as well just be brendons solo project at this point :|

i mean honestly, ive listened to the song maybe twice ?

its not really my type of music, which doesnt make it inherently bad. buuuuut also i just really wish brendon would stop going by "panic! at the disco" and just do his own stuff.

i think that makes my opinion a little biased as well lol.

#i hope this makes sense #im tired #tl;dr: its pretty much what i expected coming from brendon #ask reply #panic!

Batfam ask for you, who in the Batfam are Kpop fans/stans and who are their favorites?

ive been sitting on this question for a few days and i think ive come up with enough headcanons to suffice (keep in mind i dont listen to any boy groups so this may be biased)

dick is for sure. he loves disco music so first and second gen appeal to him most

kpop is a guilty pleasure for jason in the same way that musical theatre is one for him. falls into the "gay man who stans loona" trope a little bit.

tim became one through bernard and mainly stans 4th gen groups like ive and billlie. has cried over iz*one at least once.

steph, despite being the first family member that came into my head, decided it wasn't her thing after listening to exactly one blackpink song

kpop as a whole isnt cass's thing but she likes dreamcatcher and ()-idle's early stuff

damian discovered jpop through anime but hasn't tried kpop yet

alfred got into snsd through dick and his bias is tayeon because he's still british which makes him basic

honourable mention: kory is a twice ult

#mailbox #terra's batfam questions #< may as well make a tag as i get these sort of asks pretty often

Chapter Eight: Nuptials

"Quit squirming about Lachie!" Rhona scolded as she tugged his tie into place and tucked it inside his waistcoat.

"Am nervous awright?" he replied shrilly and adjusted what good work his sister had just done.

"LACHIE I just did that!!!" she rolled her eyes and crossed her arms.

"A know but it wiz too tight!" Oz appeared walking oddly, he'd never worn a kilt before and it was an experience to say the least.

"Hey guys!" he grunted as he fiddled with the belt on his kilt. "Please can I wear my boxers?" he whined as Rhona gave her brother a disapproving frown.

"Och Lachie you never made him go commando! That's just not right!"

"It's tradition!" Lachie defended his actions, "A true Scotsman wears nothin' under the kilt!"

"But Lachie Oz is American! These rules do not apply! Oz sweetheart you can wear your boxers if you want!" Rhona smiled sweetly at him and lunged forward, grabbing his kilt she tried to pull it up and peek underneath as they both began to tug at it.

"Rhona!" Oz exclaimed, trying frantically to keep it down as she giggled and let go.

"I'm kidding! I do love you Oswald Truman!" she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him tenderly. Lachie began making gagging sounds behind them. "Och you jist gi it a by eh? Soon to be married man!" Rhona teased her brother as he stopped mocking them and looked rather queasy.

"I'm just gonna...go cover up the little guy, I'm not loving the breezy feeling under there!" Oz kissed Rhona back briefly and left the siblings alone again as Lachie looked at himself in the long mirror.

"It's going to be fine!" Rhona soothed and rubbed his back gently.

"A know that, am jist...a dinnae deserve her!" Lachie's eyes filled up as he sniffed back the tears that threatened to fall, "A cannae believe she said yes!" he sobbed and the tears came. Rhona handed him a tissue from the box that sat on the table beside them.

"Lachie, you so deserve her! I wish you could see just what a wonderful man you truly are! I know I may be rather biased because you're my big brother but...Oz says the same thing, Hannah and Terry...even Jamie liked you back in the day! You've got a good heart, and Elspeth fell in love with that way before you proposed! In fact, I think she would have proposed to you if you hadn't got in there first!"

"It's no a leap year shorty!" Lachie mumbled in between large blows into the tissue.

"Since when was Elspeth ever into conventional traditions? She loves you and you love her, and I can't wait to be an auntie!" she giggled and hugged her brother tenderly as he let out a little squeak.

"Ho, dinnae get aheed of yersel eh?"

***

Six months had passed since the money Oz stole was returned to it's rightful owner, well some of it! When Lachie asked Elspeth to marry him after only three months of seeing her, Oz insisted that the money they kept be used for the wedding. Oz and Rhona were getting along very well, they both ran the bar and organised functions in the hotel for locals like discos and bingo nights and even the odd karaoke. Oz felt like he was part of the family but it was always in the back of his mind that Mr Delfino could send someone else to get the rest of the money. As he put on a pair of boxer shorts under the itchy, uncomfortable kilt he'd agreed to wear as Lachie's best man, he thought about marrying Rhona. It was something he really wanted to do, he wanted to make her his bride but when Lachie and Elspeth got engaged, he didn't want to steal their thunder. So he would wait until this wedding was over and then he would make his move. He headed down to the grand hall where the ceremony was to take place tempted to remove this infernal kilt that chafed his legs and other parts of him that should not have this much friction! He suddenly began to panic and reached down into his sporran, the rings! Luckily they were still in there as he let out a relieved sigh. A young man approached him and nodded, "Awright?"

"Hey!" Oz replied warily, he'd never seen him before and the hotel was closed to the public for the wedding.

"So Lachie Boyle's gettin' hitched eh?" he chuckled and put a hand in front of Oz as if he was to shake it.

"Yeah, yes he is!" Oz took in the man's appearance, he was rather cocky. "I'm Oz! And you are?" the young man rolled his eyes and the chuckle escalated into a booming laugh.

"Aw man, aye! Jamie..." he shook Oz's hand roughly. "Jamie McGregor!" and Oz felt the urge to knock his teeth out!

***

"Where is he?" Rhona tapped her foot impatiently as Terry took a peek inside the hall.

"Everybody's here I think!" he squinted through the crack in the large door. "Lachie's looking a bit...green!" as soon as the words left his mouth Elspeth pushed him aside and looked for herself.

"Eh?" she shrieked, "What's wrong with him?" she attempted to flip her veil back when Rhona stopped her and shut the door.

"Just stop guys!" Hannah screwed her eyes shut and placed her hands over her ears. Just then Oz came running towards them.

"Sorry I'm late I...Rhona we really need to talk!" Rhona looked annoyed and swatted his hand away as he tried to take her aside.

"Oz my brother is getting married! Whatever it is can wait!" she snapped. "Now get in there and do what you were asked to do!"

"Rhona..." she held up her hands to stop him from talking.

"Now Oswald!" Oz had no choice but to do as he was told and headed inside. As soon as they heard the music start, they knew it was their cue to enter. Terry was giving Elspeth away. It turned out that she had run away from home and wasn't in contact with her parents, so when Lachie asked her to be his wife, she thought of Terry straight away. He'd been like a brother to her since she arrived at the hotel. As Rhona and Hannah walked down the aisle in front of Elspeth and Terry, Oz gave Rhona a pleading look that made her feel uneasy. He was trying to tell her something, and by the looks of it she should have heard him out. But there was no time to worry about that, as Elspeth reached Lachie and he burst into tears at the sight of her!

"Och Lachlan!" Elspeth laughed softly, and a tear escaped from her eye too.

"Am awright, am awright!" he held up his right hand and wiped his face with the left, "Elspeth yer gorgeous so ye are!" he smiled and shook his head, hardly believing that this beautiful girl was going to be his wife by the time they left this hall! The ceremony was a success, it proceeded without a hitch. As the wedding party headed to the public dining hall, Oz pulled Rhona gently aside into the bar. "Hear me out please!" he breathed and held her arms so she couldn't leave.

"Okay Oz, okay! What's wrong? You're scaring me!"

"Jamie's here!" he studied her eyes as a hint of fear flickered in them.

"Where?" she looked all around her and eased out of his soft grip.

"I met him on my way to the hall, Rhona I wanted to kill him! He went on and on about knowing the family really well and hearing about the wedding from his mom and..." Oz was pacing up and down as Rhona steadied herself by leaning on the edge of the bar counter, "...I could have hit him, I could have smashed his f..." he stopped himself as he balled his fists and his face turned almost purple.

"Where is he now?" Rhona managed to say through the shock.

"I...I dunno I...I excused myself and headed outside." he lifted one fist, bloodied and scraped, "I had to let it out somehow so...if your dad finds blood on the wall outside then it's mine!"

"Oh Oz!" Rhona placed her hands on his face and looked up into his beautiful blue eyes, "Please, promise me you'll stay AWAY from him! I don't want to lose you to Barlinnie!" Oz looked confused and pulled her hands away.

"What?"

"It's a prison in Glasgow! And it's where you'll go if you touch Jamie! His dad's a lawyer and a wicked one at that!"

"I don't care if his dad's the damn King of Scotland! What that creep did to you? I'd happily do time teaching him a lesson!" Rhona giggled softly despite the seriousness of their conversation and wrapped her arms around his waist, squeezing him softly as his familiar scent met her nostrils.

"Oh Oswald, I wish you weren't so rebellious! But I love you anyway!" Oz returned her hug and sighed.

"You wouldn't...go back to him...would you?" Rhona quickly let go and looked up at him again, this time her eyes held back anger that bubbled inside of her, how could he ask such a thing?

"Oswald Edward Truman! Do you honestly believe that I could ever take him back, not only after what he did, but now that I've known what it's like to have you in my life? To know how it feels to be loved by someone like you? I've never been happier, so no! Not that it needed to be said, no I will NEVER go back to him EVER!" she shook her head emphatically as her carefully pinned back hair threatened to come loose. Oz gave her an impish grin and took hold of her hands.

"Just checkin'!" he winked and pulled her out of the bar to join the others. Sitting at the top table, Rhona still felt uncomfortable about Jamie being around and felt she had to tell someone, she couldn't tell her brother and spoil his big day or worse...have him end up in the local cop shop for killing Jamie! She thought about telling her mother but she would only tell her father and he would end up in the cop shop instead of Lachie! But when she really thought about it through the speeches, watching her dad get all emotional like her brother as he toasted his son and new daughter-in-law, despite Lachie and Hamish being so alike, Hamish was older and wiser and could therefore control his temper a little better and listen to reason. So after the speeches and the first dance, Rhona was going to tell her daddy! Finally it was Oz's turn to get up and speak, Rhona was a little worried about the content as Oz tended to say things he wasn't supposed to. Americans tended to let their feelings out, where Scots were more reserved...sometimes! "Hi!" Oz waved out to the guests as he stood awkwardly in his kilt, Rhona thought he was adorable but he was obviously not loving the look. "So I'm Oswald, Oz, Lachlan's best man and Rhona's too!" the guests laughed softly as he looked down bashfully. "So I came here about six months ago, I'd done some stupid stuff back home in Florida and...the Boyles took me in! To say that Lachie didn't like me at first would be a gross understatement!" another wave of laughter from the crowd, "But I think once we got to know one another, we er...we got along okay!" he smiled, remembering fondly their fishing trips and drinking sessions together. "Which er...which was just as well because dating his baby sister would have been...a challenge!" more laughter, "I guess what I wanna say about Lachie, is this! He's a great guy with a big heart to match his build and his thick head, KIDDING!" he held up his hands as more laughter echoed around the room. Lachie pointed at Oz and gave him a mock warning.

"Oi you!" he laughed along with his guests.

"Kidding, but in all seriousness, I lost a lot when I left home! Until I came to Scotland and gained...so much more than I could have ever imagined, a girl to love me that I so love back I feel my heart could explode sometimes, a best friend who at first wanted to smash me but turned out to be an awesome guy, and a family where no matter what I have done...they've accepted me and allowed me to stay here, they've vouched for me with immigration so I can work here and...let's not get into all that and deflect from the matter at hand..." he picked up his glass and raised it in the air, "...so let's cut to the chase and make a toast...to the Bride and Groom!" all the guests held their glasses in the air and repeated after Oz.

"To the Bride and Groom!" During the first dance, Rhona stole her dad to dance with. Traditionally she should have been dancing with Oz, the best man, but she needed to talk to her dad while he was calm. "Rhona darlin' yer supposed tae be dancin' wi yer man there!" Hamish pointed to Oz.

"I know daddy but I need to tell you something! Oz met Jamie in the hotel a couple of hours ago!" Hamish turned a pale colour and staggered back, almost taking Rhona for a tumble. "Daddy!" she hissed and steadied them with difficulty.

"No the day, no on yer brother's waddin' day!"

"Daddy please, stop and think!" Hamish sat down on the nearest chair to hand as Annie called over to them.

"Everythin' awright over there?"

"Fine mum!" Rhona waved a hand and smiled at her mother.

"Whit urr we gonnae dae?" Hamish muttered, mostly to himself, "Whit does he want? Who even telt him?"

"Apparently Dee did!"

"Ach that wumman! Aye makin' excuses fur her snake of a son!" Hamish almost shouted but scratched his beard roughly instead. Oz came to sit beside them.

"I'm sorry Mr B, I didn't know what to do!" he placed a hand on his massive shoulder as Hamish shook his head and patted Oz's hand.

"Nae bother son, it's no your fault!" looking his daughter in the eyes he smiled, "Am gonnae find him!" Rhona opened her mouth to protest but he held up a hand and continued, "Jist tae talk that's aw!"

"Please don't do anything stupid daddy!" still smiling, he patted her knee and stood up gingerly. Rhona watched her father leave the room slowly, as if he was still working out what to do. She trusted him to do the right thing, but the Boyle temper was a force to be reckoned with!

***

Hamish Boyle hunted high and low through the hotel, enquired with all the staff, but there was no sign of Jamie McGregor. He thought that perhaps Oz had been mistaken, but Oz was a smart boy, if a young man claimed to be Jamie then it was more than likely to be him! Unless it was a prank, someone was playing a joke on Oz to...that made no sense! Hamish arrived in his office in the living quarters and rifled through his desk, finding his phone book he looked up Dee McGregor's number...and dialled! "Hello?" a woman's voice answered cheerily.

"Dee?"

"Aye?"

"Hamish Boyle here!"

"Oh aye?" the sarcasm in her tone was hard to miss!

"Is Jamie aboot?"

"Ye whit?" she laughed bitterly.

"Dee he wiz seen at the hotel the day, a dinnae want any trouble awright? Ma son's jist got wed!"

"Och away Hamish! Ye think ma Jamie wid want tae go tae yer daft son's waddin'?"

"He wisnae invited anyway but he wiz SEEN!" Hamish tried to control his temper but it was proving difficult. "Dee, listen tae reason will ye? Rhona disnae need this, oor family disnae need this!"

"Oh and ma family diz? Eh? Am a no entitled tae huv ma son hame fur a wee while?"

"Aye a' course! But please tell him tae stay away fae Rhona!" Hamish took her hanging up to be a bad sign, this was far from over! And he was right when a couple of hours later he turned up at the hotel again. Hamish luckily managed to intercept his arrival and took him into the grand hall. "Whit ur ye dayin' here Jamie lad?" Jamie ran his hand along the large fireplace, hanging above it was Hamish's father's hunting rifle and it had stayed there since the day old Archie died.

"I want to see Rhona..." Hamish scoffed and cut him off before he could say any more.

"And why dae ye want tae dae that eh? Huv ye no done enough damage???"

"That's why I want to see her Mr Boyle! I've made a big mistake, huge in fact! I've only just realised she's the one, all along she was the one for me and...I was a complete..."

"Weasel!" Hamish spat as Jamie looked shocked at first but then nodded.

"Aye Mr Boyle, a weasel!"

"Snake!" Hamish went on.

"Yeah..."

"Slitherin' wee rattlesnake, stinkin' wee rat faced eejit!" he bellowed, inches away from Jamie's face, towering down at him like a bear to a rabbit.

"Aye well..." Jamie whimpered.

"A don't want ye anywhere near ma Rhona, she's got a new man and she's happy! And Oz is worth a hundred o' you! Yer no fit tae be in the same universe as ma wee girl, nevermind toon! Noo get oot afore a turf ye oot! RIGHT???" Jamie staggered back onto the hearth of the fireplace and squirmed out of the space between it and Hamish where he was jammed in between. Just as Hamish was about to leave him there alone, he called to him in his native slang.

"So she's shacked up wi a yank eh?" he sneered. "Aye well we'll see aboot that!" Hamish turned slowly and glowered at him.

"Urr ye threatenin' me son?"

"Naw Mr Boyle, A widnae dae that eh!" he laughed menacingly, "But that Oz guy isnae gonnae be as lucky! A don't like him!"

"You lea'em alain understand???" And in one swift movement, Hamish left him to stew. When Hamish got back to the wedding reception, the party was in full flow with Lachie and Elspeth dancing among the guests. Rhona and Oz were huddled together, comforting each other while they waited for Hamish to come back and tell them everything was going to be okay. But he couldn't do that, not after Jamie made threats against Oz. It was all talk, no way could Jamie take a clever lad like Oz in any way, shape or form! Oz was a little on the weedy side but he was tough, he'd stood up to Lachie enough times! When Rhona spotted him, she and Oz stood up and looked hopefully at him. "He's a pain in the..."

"Daddy is everything..."

"We've no heard the last of him, de ye know he hud the cheek tae ask tae see ye? He wanted ye back!" Hamish laughed bitterly as Oz's anger grew inside the pit of his stomach. "But jist enjoy yersels eh? Forget that rat fur a wee while!" Smiling at his daughter and her boyfriend, Hamish headed over to his wife for a dance. Oz wanted to find Jamie and make sure he never bothered Rhona again, but that would be lowering to Jamie's level, and he wasn't going to do that. Instead he took her by the hand and led her onto the dance floor where they danced for the first time as Best Man and Chief Bridesmaid.

"Whit's goin' on Hamish???" Annie questioned her husband.

"Och nothin' darlin' jist...let's enjoy oor boy fur one last time afore Elspeth moves in eh?"

"Aye awright but ye cannae keep things fae me fur long!" she warned him as he tried to put Jamie McGregor to the back of his mind, hoping Rhona and Oz could do the same.

11. Any fanart you especially like from Starlight Express? Include artist!!

Okay there's too many to pic so I'll give my top three. And no there's arent in any order.

1. @disco-dinah I may be biased cuz he's my boyfriend but his art is fantastic and captures what I imagine for stex

2. @greenghostlyjekyll Their art is so adorable! And the coloring makes it damn gorgous!

3. @whistlingstarlight They do so much art, all with unique designs and stories. The sheer creative is amazing and I love it so much

Ofc I love almost all artists in the stex fandom. These are just the three I think about most.

(There is one more who doesn't post their art as much *cough* @little-diesel-gb *cough* but they'd make the list too)

[sunshineseung]

My assumptions about you based on who your stray kids bias is~

Bang Chan: you’re constantly horny, but you mask it with 🌸🥺💗💌 but we all know what you’re thinking about, and it’s Chris’ arms. 90% of your camera roll is pictures of Chan being cute or sexy, and your YouTube history is just Chan’s room clips. You’re also super duper OT8 though. You love these boys almost as much as your bias does. I’m guessing you went through an emo phase sometime in your life, or at least often wear all black with layers upon layers no matter the weather. 

Lee Know: you’re really smart and/or really gay. Lesbians love Lino! You’ve probably read the hunger games or a similar book series at some point, and now you just like guys that are cold or serious a lot. You’re some of the only people that see minho for more than just being “mean”, and I really appreciate that. Also, you’re all cat people. Unlike stray kids, you can name and identify all of Minho’s cats, and I’m sure he appreciates that. Although most people would get mad, you’re through the moon when your favorite idols post selfies with stupid, face-warping filters, and theyre more than often your lock screen. Overall, you’re the superior kind of stay, and far too powerful to be contained.

Changbin: Oh my god, we get it, you love him. (kidding, please keep talking about him). You have a real heart of gold. Basically the nicest person ever, but you can still pick on your friends from time to time. There’s so much love in your heart, but most of it is for Changbin. No offence, but you’re probably short (although arent most stays short?). Crazy assumption, but did you go through a steven universe/gravity falls phase? Don’t worry, the best of us did. You probably have very fond memories of children’s media like cartoons or childrens books, and i’m nearly certain you own at least two Squishmallows. I will protect you at all costs.

Hyunjin: Oh, so you’re really hot. You’re also very opinionated and outgoing when needed, but damn. Leave some for the rest of us. You don’t even know you’re breaking hearts left and right, but please don’t stop. You don’t have a ton of friends, but a few very close ones, and you’re okay with that. You’re also very talented at a lot of things, even things you don’t know or think you’re good at. The jack of all trades type. You’re very much the kind of person to speak up when you see something going wrong, whether it’s bigotry, bullying, or anything you personally don’t agree with. Don’t get it wrong, though, if anyone even mentions Hyunjin or Stray Kids, you’re ready to go on a 5 hours tirade about how amazing and talented and pretty Hwang Hyunjin is. May god have mercy on those who are within earshot. 

Han: Stop acting so tough. We all know you’re just a little softy. No amount of silver jewelry or punk/alternative clothing can hide who you are inside: a baby. Han Jisung is your wallpaper, your app icons, your inspiration, your happiness!!! You would do anything to protect Jisung and make him happy. If you ever hear your friends or loved ones talking poorly about themselves, you’re ready to jump on them and cover them in love and compliments and reassure them that they are incredible. You’re everyone’s best friend and you don’t even know it. You’re also super duper funny! This might sound odd, but you probably have a strong opinion about tiktok houses. Quick question: what’s your favorite sitcom to reference? Or what’s the tiktok audio you reference constantly for a month before forgetting it exists? 

Felix: You’re adorable. You make my fragile little heart melt. Your existence lights up the lives of everyone around you, and the brightness of your smile is rivalled only by the sun. Although you might be a little anxious sometimes, your presence is a present and everyone adores you! You’re so nice to everyone around you, and we all appreciate it. To you, Felix is your happy place. Truly, just looking at a picture of Felix makes you feel warm and cozy in the best way possible. Although you first fell in love with him for his voice, by now you understand all of his talents and charms. You’re beyond whipped for this man, but whenever asked about it, you just say “I love him” :) super cute omg. Sorry if this calls you out, but you probably went through a Dan and Phil phase, and you might even still watch them to this day, albeit without the sharpie whiskers. Stay cute, babes!

Seungmin: You’re perfect. You’re beautiful. You look like Linda Evangelista. You’re a model. Did you stone those tights? Oh, you’re smiling! ... okay but can we talk about how amazing Seungmin biased people are? Literally so nice and well mannered, and I’m not just saying that because I’m one of them. You’re sometimes really sassy and catty, but most of the time, you’re just a ball of sunshine. You’re super cute, and you’re probably obsessed with cottage core aesthetic or Sanrio characters (or both)! You probably play and instrument of some kind, or even sing a little. Maybe even draw omg you’re talentedddd. You’re also accidentally funny a lot, whether that’s from clumsiness or cuteness. Despite looking adorable, you’re uper smart and cunning, probably witty as fuck when you get into arguments, which isn’t often because you shut down the other person faster than they can think of a response. Lovely lovely lovely people!

Jeongin: You’re either a few years older than Jeongin and baby him to death or you’re a few years younger than him and you just think he’s cute (although he’s getting a lot hotter omg did you see his arms???) You can be a little quiet sometimes, but whenever you talk, it’s something mindblowingly insightful or painfully hilarious. You can be super cute when you need to get something, and only when you want something. Again, you break hearts left and right, but don’t stop. Everyone fucking loooooooves you, and your friend group will not hesitate to remind you how much they appreciate you. You have a bunch of hidden talents that only a very few amount of people know, because to you, they’re just hobbies. You’re super talented and amazing, and you don’t even know it! You’re probably very clumsy and bubbly, even when no one is around. There’s probably some Panic! at the Disco or Troye Sivan on your playlist. 

woof this was rough lol i hope this was funny to some people. reblog with how much i got right about you in the tags, cuties! :)

My Just Dance Playlist and who I would battle against / team up with in order to remain the champ

Hey lovelies so I— like usual— am procrastinating so I have decided— at the behest of literally no one— to extensively go through my workout Just Dance Playlist and explain in depth who I would 1 v 1 against, why I would pick them, and why I would— most likely— win.

PSA: This will be very biased and will literally be me bragging about how I would win at Just Dance every time with very little factual proof (because, really, how am I getting this proof?) and then literally me being self absorbed for the entirety of this essay length post— a girl’s gotta’ self care you know?

This is also lowkey practice for a fic I’ll be putting out at the start of Dinner at Dizzy’s so stay tuned it’ll be a fun one

Sorry in advance for the 2.4k essay of me being self obsessed

Also the links are just vids of the choreo in case you’re invested

Into The Unknown | Idina Menzel

This is a warm up song— like if I don’t do this one to stretch I’ll literally die— but definitely Wanda because we’re both soft (don’t fight me on this— I just know she’s a soft girl and would LOVE Just Dance). I don’t think I would aim to win on this one— I like her too much and, again, this is a warm up. She would definitely sing along with me too. If Sam was in a good mood he would also join in on this one— he has two nephews and is fun as fuck so I do not doubt he knows all the words and would be all in. Honestly this song is a warm up so anyone could join and I wouldn’t aim to win— unless it was Tony— because the man’s ego is perhaps the only one bigger than mine— or Steve— because I don’t know why I just think it would be cute to watch the man fumble because he 100% can’t dance beyond the slow dances.

Let It Go | Idina Menzel

Okay so another warm up (yes, I need two warm ups) so again the same principles apply. Again Wanda would be all over this one and I would go as far as to say Pietro— fuck off he is an Avenger and in my head he’s still very much alive— would join in too because he’s like a puppy. I would make Bucky do it too— cue the pout because he would try to say no and nope, no sir, you’re playing— because, uh hello, super soldier dancing to Disney songs. I think I would pull Nat in too because she needs a little push and once she’s in she’d be fully in— and, duh, I want a sexy woman assassin to dance with me.

Bad Romance | Lady Gaga

This isn’t my favorite song but— lucky for me— it’s a group song with three dancers so it won’t make me look bad right away. I would pull my sexy girl gang and get Nat and Wanda in on the action. I feel like Nat would be in the front— because, again, hello sexy— and not to mention that I feel like her skills would make her able to easily adapt to the moves— and then Wanda and I would just be chilling in the back, giggling and being cute. This is Nat’s moment— can you tell I only get competitive against the men? Fuck trying to beat Nat, I’m using this time to absorb the sexiness— I will be needing it for later on in this playlist.

Hot N Cold | Katy Perry

OKAY THIS IS ARGUABLY MY FAVOURITE SONG ON MY PLAYLIST! This is 100% my best song. Like “perfects” across the board every single time. I have it memorized and if this song ever comes on in public I’ll be fucked because I’ll have to dance to it and look dumb. Anyway— given that this is my best song— Sam. I can afford to throw him in here because— despite the fact that I know this man has literally all the moves— I have this song ingrained in the essence of my soul. It would probably be a semi-close race but I have the added bonus of knowing the tricks of the choreography. He may be skilled but I am obsessive and have poured hours into this song. I would probably laugh when he loses because of the adrenaline (again, it was close, my heart would be pounding). This is dirty and strategic but this is about me winning and nothing else. Better luck next time babes— rematch anytime.

Girlfriend | Avril Lavigne

MY THIRD FAVOURITE SONG— JUST LIKE BEFORE THIS IS IN MY SOUL! I have actually spent a lot of time thinking about this. I could use this song to knock out a more skilled dancer— Tony, Sam (again), Pietro (you know I’m right)— but I have made the executive decision to pull Steve in on this one. Clearly it has nothing to do with skillful planning on this one— I would 110% win this game— but rather it has everything to do with the fact that I want to look this man in the eye and mouth “Hell yeah, I'm the motherfucking princess” and watch him get flustered and maybe tell me not to swear. Clint would laugh and that’s more than enough motivation for me. I also want to giggle and stare at the super soldier the entire time because I can hit the moves with my eyes closed and he would be flicking his eyes between the screen and me wondering how on EARTH I got so good at this. SO CUTE!

California Gurls | Katy Perry

THIS IS THE ONE THAT IS TIED WITH HOT N’ COLD FOR FIRST! I’m good good at this one. I grew up on Snoop Dogg and I fully believe that is why I am so good at this song. Anyway Pietro— without a doubt in my mind Pietro would kill this song (or in the very least try to kill it) and I’m not worried about losing because of the sheer amount of gameplay I have on this song alone. He would have the most fun with me and it would be the literal time of my life. Like I might actually lose this one just to see him get all happy and puppy-like about winning— LOL just kidding no I wouldn’t, sorry peanut better luck next time. You killed the hip wiggles though!

Forget You | CeeLo Green

Okay this one might not make any sense but Bucky. This is a hard-ish song but I think some of the moves really scream like old-timey and I think— if he could get rid of his pride for five seconds and let some of the fun-loving, silly Bucky out— that he would really enjoy this song. It’s fast paced but repetitive, the lyrics are fun, and I would be laughing enough for the both of us that he wouldn’t think about how dumb he looks because I’d be looking doubley stupid. Don’t let that fool you— I am a whiz at this song too. There’s a lot of jumping and spinning and jump spinning that entice that perfectionist side of me in a way that has driven me to perfect this song. This isn’t a heavily strategic move— it doesn’t need to be, he, again, hasn’t danced in years— but it is fun while allowing me to still win. NEXT!

Waterloo | ABBA

Okay two teams here, this is where it gets fun. This could go in a lot of directions. If Tony isn’t there then I would pull Nat— the gameplay is easy and she would pick it up within seconds. I would then pair up Steve and Thor because they’re both huge and clunky and would spend the entire time bumping into each other. Dirty but I’m doing it without regret. NOW— If Tony was there then we’re teaming up. I don’t trust him to not be on a team with me because he’s too competitive. I won’t risk it, not today, not ever— we’re eternal dance partners because I refuse to be bested by a man. Even a sexy, silver fox millionaire. The other team would be Sam and Bucky. They would fight the entire time. I can hear it now— “That was the wrong move, dumbass.” “You stepped on my foot, asshole.” — it’s a virtually flawless game plan. There’s a 1% chance they would team up to win against me but even then Bucky hasn’t danced since the 30’s. Foolproof.

Just Dance | Lady Gaga

I am AWFUL at this one but luckily it’s a group dance again. If I had to choose any song to take a break for— because I’ve literally just whooped Avenger butt at this point and deserve five minutes to sit down— it would be this one. This is 100% a strategic move. Love you miss Gaga but the choreography is WACK and I will not be losing. Anyway I will be nominating Tony, Pietro, and Sam— a dance battle of epic proportions and I honestly cannot tell you who I think would win. I can, however, speculate. Sam right off the bat would be a hard player to beat. I said it before and I will reiterate now— Sam Wilson has all the moves. But, that being said, Tony would not want to lose. Like at all. So I am pushed to believe that this fight would be a tough battle. Pietro I don’t think would try too hard to win but, then again, I just pitted him against Tony and, well, we all know how that goes. He has an ego too so honestly it could go in any direction. Pietro might be soft with me but against Sam and Tony— this fight might get dirty. Camera’s out people!

Gimme! Gimme! | ABBA

Thor. Like— there’s just no other person that I want to disco with. None. I want the blonde god up there next to me or nobody. Well, besides Steve because LOL yeah he’s not winning that sorry pumpkin we’ve already covered that. Thor I could simultaneously beat and laugh my ass off with. It’s a lot of tricky moves— ABBA didn’t come to play— and way too much variety for him to be able to catch on right away but he would also not care about looking like an idiot and might end up just picking me up and spinning me around because why not right? I would win and be happy.

Starships | Nicki Minaj

This is pure strategy— Tony. This is the only one I could beat him at because of the sheer amount of moves and plot twists in the choreography. There’s a lot of jumping, spinning, kicking movements and if you haven’t had two months to memorize it then you’ll be fucked. Even then it’s a long shot because— AGAIN THE EGO DRIVES THIS MAN TO HEIGHTS I HAVE YET TO SEE ANYWHERE ELSE— but it’s my best bet. If I could blindside him enough with the hip wiggling then it would be a sure win but he might see through the strategy. He’s smart— too smart. I would fight dirty— I don’t lose. Now, if Tony— again— was not present then I would pull my baby Wanda for this one because she would have so much fun and it would be 1000% worth it. Literally my ray of sunshine— let’s do fun girl things like dance to Nikci like the entire team isn’t watching. Clint and Sam would be singing along— that’s canon. Nat would be filming and cheering. The super soldiers, iron boy (assuming he’s sitting this one out), the fast one, and the gods would be slack jawed. It doesn’t get better

Maneater | Nelly Furtado

I can’t even explain how long I’ve had the plan for this one. Too long. Remember the sexiness I was talking about? Yeah— here’s where I’m gonna’ need it. This is ALSO one of my favourite songs on this playlist because of how sexy I feel dancing to it. The moves are *chefs kiss* so fucking amazing I could cry. I feel like a maneater when I dance to this and that is a blessed feeling. Anyway— I will be pulling two people for this song and those people are Clint and Nat. I think Clint— contrary to popular belief— is secure enough to have fun dancing to this and, also, not to mention the most important part— whoever wins gets to take me on a date. The big guns. Literally it’s a foolproof plan. First, I can’t lose because this choreography is hard as fuck for beginners and I have been practicing and perfecting it for months. Second, the fight between Nat and Clint would be so fucking entertaining. They’re skilled, agile, sleek assassins who would literally dance to Nelly Furado like their lives depended on it. I think what’s even funnier is that Nat is for sure the better dancer but I just know Clint is a) only a fraction less better than her and b) would be trying SO HARD to win. Like I wouldn’t put it past him to not play dirty. I am cute, after all. His 6’3” ass would be sweating trying to get my 5’2” ass on that date.

Good Feeling | Flo Rida

Clint, baby, knowing full well you could have possibly just lost the last round to Nat, I will give you one more chance— mainly because this whole song is a vibe and the choreography is so much fun and there’s a handful of moves that I both want to do in sync with you but also want to laugh watching as you flounder them. Clearly as a stealthy archer assassin I am testing my luck with this one but he just doesn’t know the in depth ins and outs of this choreo. He doesn’t know about the like seventeen hundred bridges that this song has and the robot moves in the middle. So I’ll wrack up those extra points where needed. Honestly if you only click one link make it this one— I can’t describe how fun this would be with him. Competitive but fun. I have faith in myself that I would come out on top. He’s agile but I’d risk it all for the title of champion. Still, he would fight hard— that’s why I love him though.

How Far I’ll Go | Auli’i Cravalho

This is my cool down song but there’s someone here who has managed to hide his way into not playing and that is unacceptable— Loki, babe, you’re doing my relaxing song with me because the gods only know how much you need a break. I’ll look dumb because— believe it or not— the slow song trips me up the most. But it’s fun and it’s the reason I don’t have a heart attack when my chubby ass is done all the fast songs— so it’s necessary. It’s also slow enough that he won’t look dumb and thus won’t literally kill me because he won’t be embarassed. I would willingly lose to Loki because I don’t want to lose my life. It isn’t a loss— it’s survival. That and I think he’d smile if he got a good score and that alone is worth losing to this one (1) man. I also want to add that I think Clint would secretly love this one because you can’t tell me that a man with an aim as good as him doesn’t meditate. He does and he would perhaps beat Loki at this one. Rest in peace to the love of my life when the trickster god literally tears his head from his body but sometimes you’ve got to take the L baby.
