anyways so loose thoughts on [spoilers] being revealed as the traitor
im sure most people have already gone through all of this but i havent actually looked at any of the discussion so im going to talk about it anyways! narratively actaully i think york is the best choice - given that we've already been talking about desires/dreams/etc in this arc between the ohara thing and the devil fruit reveals, its honestly the most obvious choice and thematically shouldn't have been any other way
because we've spent a whole lot of one piece talking about dreams and aspirations and what not, and we've sort of touched on the question of "ok well what if your dream just kind of sucks" with blackbeard and also that one line in the luffy/kaidou fight where luffy says something to the extent of "dont talk to me about your dreams!! i dont want to hear it!! your dream has hurt my friends and made them cry!!" but we have yet to really go into this pretty glaring question. so york wanting to be a celestial dragon is pretty much the perfect choice - what happens if your desire involves hurting people in the process?
i will say though im not entirely convinced she's working alone. obviously i dont speak japanese so i have no idea how it comes across in the original text, but generally viz is pretty good at getting the general tone translated, and the call from three months ago seems uncharacteristically serious. because it. if we're getting the traitor revealed in the same chapter that we hear this phone call, it doesnt make sense that the speaking styles would be so drastically different. because its not like york changes her speech patterns when talking about serious things - she's literally laughing about having shot shaka - so frankly i would not be surprised at all if she's a partial red herring.
the question then becomes, obviously, who... made the phone call. to which my guess is a) one of the other vegapunks or b) some random character oda hasn't introduced yet. and also frankly pulling the rug out from under us in regards to the traitor thing is an incredibly oda thing to do. like she could be working alone... but i feel like also a lot of the maneuvering of "how would she be at this place at this time" questions could be cleared up much better if theres an accomplice (or, as i know a few people have suggested, somebody who put the idea of becoming a celestial dragon into her head in the first place)

YO DO YOU TAKE RECS? on bASS
UHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
ACTAULLY I DONTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
despite having played bass for over 10 years now....my bass is a fuckin....conrad bass, if youve even heard of it. its super old and needs rewiring. it was one hanging around my dads family and when i said i wanted to learn bass, they just was like "you can have this, no one uses it and its beat up"
pic i found online but they have a weird wooden guard? finger rest? or somethng that i have no idea wtf its good for
Tumblr media
the best things i can say for looking for a bass, unless you HAVE to, do order online. try to play it in person. keep in mind action and strings effect the ease of playability. imo too uhhh, DONT get a fuckin bass that needs a battery to play. if you look at the back youll see. active basses need batteries, usually 9 volts, and if the battery dies, the bass wont work for shit even plugged into an amp. passive basses dont need batteries and because of that i like them more. im sure theres soome cool thing abt active basses, they have a buuilt in amplifier and stuff but idc lmao, want it to work without issues
Tumblr media
last thing i can say is dont get a super dirt cheap bass. or iinstrument in general. idk if youre asking to learn bass or if you already play and want some reccs, but often ppl buy like, a $100 instrument as a safe way to see if theyll like it. but if its really cheap and trash, its gonna sound trash, and itll play like trash (constantly go out of tune, neck might be bent which makes it sound awful) and how can you really learn to enjoy an instrument if its fighting against you? its hard enough to learn an instrument, dont make it harder by playng something half broken (pls spend within your means obv....its kind of a privledge thing, if you really do wanna learn but have financial problems, of course its okay to get somethng that satiates you for now, but i would say plan on upgrading when its feasable)

also i dont think i actaully DID anything to recover from the two-month insane period, so im not sure pride is wotrh feeling here, but my god i am very grateful the worst of that seems over tbh, that was one of the most unpleasant periods in recent memory. and it came out of NOWHERE, which def makes me a bit wary lol, but i feel so much better on the whole, much less dissecting my personality + past wrongs, it hasn’t stopped entirely but it’s MUCH better than it was - i know i said this a lot back then but i have NEVER experienced self-directed obsessions like that and it was fucking HORRIFIC, im DESPERATE to never experience anything like that again
i do think it’s weird that the obsessions come on so suddenly and then leave again fairly quickly also? but whatever
the checking stuff at night is also VERY much improved than it used to be - much better than it’s been in years, not just a few months prior - im finishing things up in like <10 mins which is a VASSSSTTT improvement i cant even tell u

Upon rereading tgcf, one of the biggest complaints I have is how lackluster all the extra chapters were. literally none of them were good and all contained rlly gross and harmful sentiments (like the amnesia one which.. yea.. or all the things implying xl should get pregnant for hc thus equating gay relationships with hetero ones and playing into the wife thing and just GOD I HATE MXTX) 
There were a lot of little plot points i wish that had been further elaborated on more in the extras as opposed to hualian being ... like that. I had enough. Like mdzs had actaully good extras (minus the incense burners) that were nice side stories that elaborated more on the characters. Like the hook one with the juniors was so cute and i loved seeing them grow more. Or the lotus pod extras omg.. im such a lotus pod extra stan. those were so cute and gave us a lot of good insight into just how lovestruck lwj was during the times when he didn’t see wwx. mxtx should've stuck to those sorta extras in tgcf but NOOO. SO I have a list of so many other more interesting things those chapters couldve been spent on like:
A resolution on He Xuan’s revenge and his character arc. Bc its implied He Xuan is still hanging out and watching over sqx and that taking revenge didn’t fully satisfy him bc ok.. yea shi wudu is dead but he xuans family will never come back. Now what does he have to live for?? i wish we couldve seen a look into his life during the entire ordeal. like a chapter from his perspective while he was posing as Ming Yi  and maybe a look at a conversation btw he xuan and the real ming yi or a chapter after SQX was banished to see what he’s doing now. Also what did he xuan owe hua cheng money for anyways?? Like ik not every little thing has to be explained but I Want to Know. PLEASE more goth boyfriend content now I just wanna see him :,((
a better resolution of yin yu and quan yizhens storyline. im still mad abt how that plot point was split btw books 3 and 5  when it was rlly out of place and  there were other more pressing plot matters and it just rlly deserved more time. Also i thought yin yu died!?!?!? but apparently one of the extras says he’s alive and man... i;m not reading any more of the extras to see that, give me a full yin yu and quan yizhen chapter.. fuck.
a day in the life of the guoshi fangxin or general hua PLEASE especially like one where hua cheng was SO CLOSE to meeting xie lian but had no clue that xie lian was there at the time but the two did smth that inadvertantly helped the other and they still were connected even though they hadnt met omg pls that’d be so nice. like imagine Hua cheng catching a glimpse of the guoshi in public in yong’an while he’s trying to follow some lead that points to xie lian or maybe following a lead to capture qi rong bc he said he knew qi rong was a part of the yong’an stuff and originally thought the guoshi was one of qi rongs pawns. like can you IMAGINE him getting so close. but at the last second he did smth small that impacted xie lian. like they bumped into eachother on the street or smth. god i’d go crazy
OR vice versa.. like a day in the life of the young ghost king hua cheng. Like again, one of my biggest issues was that hua cheng just knew everything and its never really explained how he got all of that info. like yes he’s been alive very long and has eyes and ppl working for him everywhere but like... how did he build that network?? I’d love to see a chapter of young ghost king hua cheng travelling around trying to learn as much as he can abt the world and how it can help bring him to xie lian. and the two maybe are in the same kingdom for a bit and they don’t meet exactly but hua cheng stops some fight or something and helps xie lian indirectly or maybe xie lian is performing on the street in some costume and hua cheng doesn’t recognize him and smiles and gives him a coin or smth. idk i’m just dying for any sorta extra chapter or fic like that. i’m honestly so tempted to write my own but i cant write
also!! we’ve seen how xie lian picks up people down on their luck near him and show them kindness (like banyue, lang ying, xiao ying, he tried to with san lang but we know how that ended lmao) so i’d love to see another little vignette of him doing that on his travels and how every person he meets teaches him smth about life and being a good person and idk, i just think it’d be rlly sweet. i love this facet of his character and feel like we didn’t see enough of it towards the end.
ALSO hua cheng only seems to respect one heavenly official besides xie lian and thats yushi huang.. i assume thats mostly bc she was the only one to help xie lian and let him use the rain master hat to bring water to yong’an. I was thinking maybe when he was a new supreme he had run into trouble and maybe was picked up by the rain master and helped him heal and in return he promised to help protect her village from harm in the future. Like i know a heavenly official wouldn’t cooperate with a ghost like that but yushi huang is different and doesn’t really care about the heavens so i think she would protect him if he could do something to benefit her village. ik this is kinda far fetched but when he first became a supreme I’m sure a bunch of ppl probably tried to mess with him and didn’t rlly believe him to be undefeatable bc he hadn’t proved himself yet also i doubt all his power came overnight. he had to learn how to use it once he escaped the kiln. and some group probably thought they could weaken him somehow. I’m thinking maybe a rlly well formed group of ghosts actually caught him off guard once and he had to retreat and was picked up by the rain master and stayed with her and learned from her a bit. i think it’d be a cool concept also i just rlly want more yushi huang content and i’m on their friendship agenda bc he rlly did seem to actually respect her when she first appeared and i think it’d be cool if the two had some history together.
Also idrc if this was addressed I couldve missed it But!! Did xie lian ever tell Hua cheng that the reason he got the curse shackles and was banished again in the first place wasnt bc jun wu wanted to punish him, but because he requested it. And specifically requested it bc he felt guilty abt letting wu ming take the human face disease and disperse for his sake. So he took the shackles and descended to atone for that?? Bc I dont recall hua cheng learning that bc his soul was already dispersed at that point so it didnt follow him and xie lian didnt say anything so uhhh... someone should tell hua cheng that. Like I dont think xie lian rlly said how much hua cheng meant to him and didnt show him he was loved in grand ways. Like xie lian did always care for bc in other ways but I think if hua cheng learned abt this on screen it wouldve been such a great moment and I'm rlly surprised mxtx didnt address this iirc!?!? Like imagine jun wu telling Hua cheng this in the kiln bc xie lian wouldnt say it himself. Imagine how cool that would be.
Also a small thing adding into the whole young ghost king Hua cheng stuff. Its implied and p much stated that hua cheng isnt his real name. That he likely doesnt have a real name bc his parents died? (It's not clear. I'm still mad at mxtx for not making his childhood clearer). So I'd like to see when and why hua cheng chose that name for himself. The new tgcf ending song kinda hints at its meaning with the lyrics "for you I'd fill a city of flowers" as xie lian is the flower wielding martial god so it's probably inspired by that. Also xie lian saved hua cheng from leaping off the city walls but I'd love to hear him say it bc the implication of his name didnt dawn on me for quite a bit and I dont know if everyone made the connection. Again I sure as hell didnt. So itd be cool to see a chapter that takes place in his past after just ascending as a supreme
Overall I rlly think tgcf had a lot more potential to be even better and a lot of that comes down to fleshing out the side characters and letting hualian have more of a storyline independent of one another. like i know the appeal and message of tgcf is that through love, people can overcome anything, but fuck man. i just wanna see what these two (mostly hua cheng) where like in the absence of each others presence. Part of what I really liked abt mdzs is that we got to see that longing develop btw wangxian when the two weren’t together and how they thought about each other and did things in thei others spirit bc they knew the other wouldve done the same thing. but whatever, mxtx was too consumed by her own unhealthy idea of what devotion and true love looks like but still. i rlly think the extras couldve helped the story be better rather than be fujoshi fuel that i try to bleach from my mind -_-

Coming in, Fat
Summary: All you want to do is use your quirk to help others. But sometimes, you go a little overboard.
Word Count: 1, 477
A/N: Sorry, got distracted by another project and didn’t finish my research in time to post this yesterday! But on the bright side, put together a wedding compilation video that I meant to do like three months ago! Anywho, this is just a scene that came from a convo I had with my sister about someone who had a quirk that let them manipulate their fat all around their body and, potentially, others. Which led to the idea of her swatting Fat Gum clear across a room...soooo, here ya ago. My sister may post a romantic version of this but I don’t wanna tag her and call her out like that. Thanks for reading and hope you like it!
“One bowl of miso ramen, topped with ajitama and negi, please. Oh, and ten onigiri, all tuna.”
The vendor eyed you doubtfully; you had distributed your fat pretty evenly today so you appeared to have a fairly thin figure. “Where you planning on putting all that food?”
“Food powers my quirk, so I have a heartier appetite than you might think,” you said with a smirk.
Seemingly satisfied with that answer, the vendor got to preparing your order. Soon, you were walking down the street, munching on one of your rice bowls. You had eaten the ramen by the vending cart before starting your patrol.
You hummed contentedly as you reached into your food bag for another rice bowl, though you still kept a sharp eye on the surrounding streets. There had been a rise in crime in this district recently so you’d decided to check it out. The one that was part of your usual patrol route had been very quiet lately, so you’d grown bored with it. Though your chest swelled with pride at the thought that you’d been part of the reason it had quieted down so much.
Your friends over at Naruhata had advised against patrolling out of your own town, saying that it led to a greater chance of getting caught red-handed. But you had brushed off their concerns. Disguising yourself was a specialty of yours after all.
Reaching into the bag again, your mind wandered back to when you were still in school. Many had been quite envious of your quirk, especially the girls. But no one had ever considered it worthy of hero work. Not even your parents, who had refused to let you even attend the hero course entrance exam at your local high school. To them, your quirk was all about looks. 
Which reminded you. Stopping to look at yourself in a shop window, you squinted, thinking about what to do with your features today. You didn’t want to be too recognizable after all. Hm…you’d go more masculine today. Your profile had you pegged as female, so assuming a male look would really throw them off.
Concentrating, you broaden your shoulders and maneuver some fat into your face so that your features were a bit more rugged. Unfortunately, there wasn’t much you could do about your height.  But you found that it often worked to your advantage anyway. Thugs didn’t normally expect those who were smaller than them to beat them up so much. In fact, it sometimes became a bit of an issue…
You’re too hot-headed and brash with your quirk. And that’s what’s gonna get you in a load of trouble one day.
Tch. Hot-headed...it’s not hot-headed if they had it coming. They're the ones who decided to pick a fight. You were completely reasonable. Satisfied with your disguise, you pulled up your hood and turned to continue your patrol.
Only to be knocked back as a body slammed into you, causing you to drop your food as you landed on your behind. Dumbfounded, you stared at the scattered contents. None of the remaining rice balls were salvageable. You heard the person mumble something but that didn’t stop your vision from filling with red. What kind of monster exhibited such a nonchalant and wasteful attitude towards food?
Whipping around to the rapidly retreating figure, you watched as they turned down a side street. As they did, you thought you saw the glint of a weapon in their hand. Your eyes widened. Could this person be a villain in more ways than one?
Rushing to your feet, you chased after them, rounding the corner to the side street to find that it was relatively deserted. The villain was a ways ahead; you wouldn’t be able to catch up by running after them. Good, you hated running. 
Leaping into the air, you rapidly directed the majority of your fat into your legs, concentrating them around certain muscles for the most effective energy absorption. As you landed, you used the accumulated fat to send you springing forward again, this time higher and further than before. In fact, you may have overshot it a bit…
Suddenly, a yellow mass appeared in front of you with a yell. Unable to stop your fall at this point, you crashed into them, fully expecting both of you to go tumbling. Except...you didn’t? You’d barely registered that you were actually sinking into them before you shot back out.
As you flew back, your mind was racing. There was only one person who could’ve done that...only one hero.
You landed hard on the pavement. It took a lot of quick quirk improvisation on your part to keep you from getting too banged up; you managed to absorb most of the energy by concentrating your fat at key impact points. Still, you were left quite stunned once your tumble session was over.
Staring up at the sky, you had pretty much forgotten about the villain as your brain tried to process who had just launched you across the street. 
Could it really be him? What district was this again? You weren’t on his patrolling grounds, were you? How could you not know if it were his patrolling grounds? No, there was no way. You would totally know if you had a chance of running into Fa—
“Hiya.” A big, grinning face in a yellow hood appeared above you.
“Gah, Fat Gum!” You practically jumped out of your skin as you rolled upright.
“Sure am. You all right there? Seemed like a pretty nasty tumble.”
“I-I’m fine.”
The BMI Hero: Fat Gum, the pro hero whom you admire more than any other, cocked his head. “Yeah, looks like it. Got some sort of absorption quirk? What was that jump you just made? Y’know using your quirk in public is illegal right; if I didn’t know better, I’d say you were chasin’ that guy. Actaully, you seem kinda familiar…”
Fat Gum recognized you?!
Before your mind could spiral any further on what that could mean, you heard a shout behind you. Turning, you saw a red-headed boy holding onto the guy who had knocked you over.
“Hey Fat, I got ‘im! Didn’t put up much of a fight. That other hero okay? That sure was a manly jump!” He gave you a sharp-toothed grin.
“Good job, Red. Detain him til the cops can get here. And all good here; was actually just about to ask our friend some questions. For one, they ain’t no hero.”
Crap, that didn’t sound good. “I...uh…” You started to back away but froze when Fat Gum placed his hand on your shoulder.
“In fact, looks like we got ourselves the vigilante, Futoi. She’s normally pretty hard to catch since she can manipulate her looks with her quirk but it seems she’s used up her excess fat.”
At his remark, you automatically went to touch your face to find that he was right. Your disguise had melted away due to the lack of fat left in your body. You felt a spark of your anger from before come back; this is why you’d needed those rice balls!
“Now young lady, please come with me. You’re wanted for several counts of illegal quirk use.”
Shaking off his hand, you backed away with a shake of your head. “I just use my quirk to help people! To help heroes like you catch the bad guys!”
Fat Gum’s smile seemed to soften. “While that is very noble of you, without a license, that is considered the work of a vigilante.”
“It’s not my fault my quirk wasn’t deemed worthy of one,” you scowled, aware that you sounded rather bitter.
“Perhaps not, but that doesn’t negate the fact that you’ve performed illegal actions and for that—” 
Fat Gum had started to reach for you again but, panicked, you swung at him, using his own excess fat to your advantage to send him flying. He crashed into a wall, blinking at you in surprise. Both you and Red Riot stared after him in shock. You recovered your senses first though and turned to sprint away.
Holding back tears, you mentally yelled at yourself. You attacked Fat Gum! Your hero role model! You had dreamed of joining his agency if you ever managed to obtain a license. Now you had made sure that would never happen. Ugh, Koichi would never let you hear the end of this.
~~~~~~~
Back in the alley, Fat Gum still lay among the rubble where he had landed, staring after you in shock. Kirishima rushed towards him, dragging the unconscious thug with him.
“Fat, you okay?! How could she send you flying like that?”
It was several moments before Fat answered. “Someone get that girl a license and sign her up for my agency immediately. Also, find me some takoyaki, will ya?”
~~~~~~~
A/N2: Yes, I know, I wasn’t very original with the vigilante name...but I like names to have meaning and I feel like Reader wouldn’t have really put much thought into it.
I tried to incorporate a few references to the Vigilante series; that was actually what my extra research was, haha. Wasn’t til after I wrote up the first draft of this that I remembered that Fat Gum literally featured in the series about vigilantes. Obviously, this is set a lot further down the timeline than where the current volumes are at.
Finally, if anyone has any name suggestions for the fic, I’m open to recommendations. Thank you again for reading!

Tangled Part One
Tumblr media
Bucky barnes x reader 
warnings; 
Disclaimer: I don't own tangled or Disney, though that would be cool so all marvel and Disney characters aren't mine, the plot is based on the movie tangled. 
I am also going to skip the background, you know about the flower and the kidnapping of the baby. 
------
A deep sigh leaves your lips as you wave your mother goodbye for the day. Turning your head to look at Steve, your chameleon. 
“another round of hide and seek?” he nods and runs away. It didn't take you long to find him, laughing he sticks his tongue out at you. 
“well Steve I suppose we should get some chores done today huh?” you laugh at his bored face. He shakes his head and points with his tail outside. 
“oh cmon we aren't going outside, I like it in here and so do you” you scoop him up and put him on your shoulder making your way back inside. 
Its seven a.m. which means you have a lot of time to fill up your day. So you start by tiding everything up and sweeping the floors, laughing when you accidentally get dust all over Steves face. It didn't take you long to finish all the chores, seeing as how you do them pretty much everyday out of boredom. So you grabbed the small book collection that you have and moved onto reading, Steve napping on your shoulder. 
Once it hit lunch time you decided to start painting on the walls of the tower, in the few spaces you had left. Deciding to paint over the mantle, you paint the one thing you have always wanted to see in person. Heaving a sigh, soon it'll be your birthday which means the floating lights will appear again. 
Once you finished the painting, you started the hefty chore of brushing your hair, humming a tune as you do so, Hoping that when your mother gets home she will finally let you go see the lights up close. 
_____
Buckys POV 
______
Oh man what a start to the day, he took a deep breath before starting to slide down a roof of a building. Quickly going from ledge to ledge making his way to the castle. Once he was on the rooftop of the castle he stopped for a second to admire the view. 
“Oh wow, I could get used to a view like this” he spoke cockily. 
“barnes, get back here” rumlow and pierce whisper shouted at him. 
“Hold on.....
Yep im used to it. Guys I wanna castle”
“we do this job barnes and you can buy yourself a castle” Rumlow said, before grabbing the collar of bucky’s shirt and pulling him back. They work their way around the castle roof into the throne room which stored the princess’s crown. Which was the object of todays heist, and they started to pry open the skylight windows on top very slowly. Once they actually got the window pane off they started getting ready. Tying a rope around Bucky’s waist to lower him down to grab the crown. 
Bucky grinned when he reached the crown, all the guards in-front of him clueless of what was happening behind him. Which makes for an easy heist sure, but bucky never liked easy. He saw his perfect opportunity to have some fun when a guard sneezed. 
“ugh, hay fever?” he questioned, resting his elbow on the cushion the crown used to sit on. The guard threw a glance back before subtly nodding. “yeah” 
As the guard realized what was going on, rumlow and pierce had already pulled him up. 
“Wait what? hey! Wait!” that one was tired and old bucky thought, as if he was really going to wait, yeah right. Him and the other two idiots he brought to pull this heist off of hurried to get out of the kingdom. Guards chasing them on horses as they were nearing the edge of the forest and bucky grinned. 
“can't you picture me in a castle of my own?” he asked his partners rhetorically before continuing. “because I certainly can. All the things we've seen and its only eight in the morning. Gentlemen this is a very big day!” he shouted excitedly. 
_____
Back to you 
_____
“todays a very big day Steve! I am finally gonna do it! im finally gonna ask her!” you spoke happily with Steve sitting on your forearm. 
“Rapunzel.... let down your hair!” you heard your mother shout in a sing song voice. Looking at Steve with a grin you quietly whispered “its time” 
Steve made a show of being tough, and you laughed. “I know I know, c’mon don't let her see you” hiding Steve behind the curtains by the painting you had made that afternoon. 
“Rapunzel... I’m not getting any younger down here” you heard your mother call for you again. Rushing to throw your hair over the hook, “coming mother!” 
Once you had hoisted your mother up from the ground, you got nervous. You knew she wouldn't like the idea of you leaving the tower, but you hoped that since you were older now she would finally let you go see the floating lights. 
“oh my dear rapunzel, I don't know how you do that every single day without fail” your mother motions to how you pull her up with your hair. “it’s nothing mother” you breath heavily. 
“then I don't know why it takes so long” she paused to laugh as if she said something funny. “oh darling I’m just teasing” you fake laugh with her trying to stay on her good side. 
“so mother! as you know tomorrow is a very big da-” she cuts you off, looking into the mirror “rapunzel look, you know what I see? I see a strong, confident, beautiful young woman....oh look you're here too!” She laughs again before following with saying that she is only teasing. You brush it off and continue to try and talk to her about tomorrow. Until she cuts you off again. 
“angel mothers feeling a little run down, would you sing for me dear. Then we will talk.” eager to finally be able to ask her what you've wanted to since she walked in you run and grab her chair and a brush, sitting down in front of her and singing the entire song in once breath. 
“flower, gleam and glow
Let your power shine; Make the clock reverse
bring back what once was mine. 
Heal what has been hurt, change the fates design 
Heal what has been lost, bring back what once was mine.” 
Your mother looked unpleased but you didn't care, you were too excited to get this out and finally talk to her about tomorrow. 
“so mother! earlier I was saying tomorrow is a pretty big day.. and you didnt really respond so im just gonna say it.....Its my birthday!!” you rushed out before she could interrupt you even more. 
“no no no, can't be, I distinctly remember your birthday was last year.” 
“thats the funny thing about birthdays mother, they are kind of an annual thing.” You sighed. “Mother im turning eighteen, and I wanted to ask...ugh... what I really want for this birthday...actaully what I've wanted for quite a few birthdays.” you ended mumbling quietly before you could finish your mother interrupted you again.  “rapunzel stop mumbling you know how I hate the mumbling” she rolled her eyes. You look sadly to you side and see Steve waving his foot back and forth as a sign to keep trying. You grin at him before standing up. 
“Uh.. I wanna see the floating lights!” you bursted out. you saw your mother freeze, before dropping the apple and turning to look at you. “uh... what?” she questions. 
“Oh well I was hoping that you would take me to see the floating lights?” you watched your mother dismiss you, saying that you meant the starts. “thats the thing mother, I've charted stars and they happen every single night, these lights only appear once a year on my birthday mother.” You left out the part about feeling like they were calling to you. 
“ I want to know what they are and see them up-close in person” You mother laughed. 
“oh rapunzel, you can't go outside dear, your too naive, innocent, immature, I could go on dear but you can't handle the outside world.” she paused “rapunzel, don't ever ask to leave this tower again...Ever.” she kissed you head before leaving the tower again. You sighed letting your hair blow in the wind. 
______
alright what did you guys think? 
I’m not sure If I want to stay right on with the story line, but this is just setting up so I figured I will.

i havent really vented about anything in a while but life has hit me hard as hell the past few months.
i was in a relationship for 6 months and i thought i was going to marry the guy (i love hard ok) but he didnt think i was enough for him so whatever we broke up. of course i was hella sad but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ anyways i coped with it in the worst way, by having sex. im not going to say i regret it bc i love having sex but i wasnt even being smart about it and only one of the guys i hooked up with used a condom. the last guy i ended up having sex with was from my job (my ex used to work there with us) and i damn near fell in love with him bc he was very sweet and wanted to see me smile. about a month after the breakup i went to the doctor and they said i had gonorrhea, and this wasnt the first (probably not the last time either) of me getting a STI but it was treatable and i told only the guy from my job bc i was still seeing him and i wanted to make sure he was okay and he was very mature about it and went to the doctor and all that good stuff. probably about a week or so later i got a small scratch near the entrance of my vagina, but i wasnt worried bc i sometimes get tears or whatever after having rough sex. but it didnt heal and actually started turning into blisters. all i really remember was crying from the pain of sitting walking doing anything basically. so i went back to the doctor so they could look and by that time i had already knew it was herpes so i started the medicine and when i say i hated life i really did like wanting to die was in my head the whole time. i couldnt work, i lost all my weight, i didnt want to do anything anymore. i thought i was never going to be able to be loved again. i really wanted everything to end. its been almost two months since i found out i have genital herpes, and these past two months ive learned so much about it than i have in the past 19 years of living. no i cant (or really i dont want to) have casual hookups but i know that damn near everyone has had a cold sore and that this shit is hella common but no one is educated on it and no one wants to be. i tried telling the other guys that i have herpes and they should go to the doctor (but really you cant get tested for it unless you have the physical symptoms or a blood test but it takes 12-16 weeks for it to show up in your body which sucks) and one guy cussed me out and called me a dirty bitch and the others claimed to go to the doctor and that “they were good” and as for the guy at work i went with him to the doctor but things just werent working out for us so i dont know his results. it hella sucks that this happened to me, but there isnt much i can do about it now but to take care of myself. i still find someway to think that i’ll never be able to have sex with anyone or be loved or have a normal relationship, but recently i started talking to this guy and i told him from the jump about the herpes and he really appreciated that i told him. we went on an actual date and then went to the park and talked for hours and it was the best time i had in a long time. we’ve seen each other several times since then and we had great (protected) sex and to me i can really tell that he gives a damn about me and that i actaully mean something to him. but right now im back in my depression hole and im jobless so ive really been down in the dumps. i just cut off all my friends and deleted all my other social media so i wouldnt be destracted. i want to focus more on myself and be a better person for myself and eventually for others. i need to find myself, and the guy ive been seeing hes completely okay with it and all he told me to do was give him updates on myself so he knows im good. life has been pretty fucking bad for me and i really just want to feel like im living again.

A/N: here is part two of the series!💕 Hope you enjoy this one! Thank you all so much for your love and support💜💞😊
----☆----☆----☆----☆----
Darkness. The sound of faint voices whispering and mumbling could be heard. A sudden surge of pain stinged through my head as i slowly flutter my eyes open. It takes me a few seconds to adjust to the sudden brightness and open my eyes fully to take in my surroundings and process where i am. I was tied up tight, hands behind my back , feet tied together and i was kneeled down on the ground in a darkly lit room with an all black asthetic feel, suited with the HellVamps dark personality.
"Fiiinaallyy the abomination is awake. We thought we accidentally killed before the rituals.." one of them spoke.
"Do you have any idea how long we've been looking for you? Your father hid you well... but not well enough" another voice spoke from a corner of what seemed to be an abandoned room.
"Wouldn't it be so delicious to just devour you right now" another one spoke as they all started to walk closer to me.
"N-no stay back! D-don't come near me!" I shouted as i tried to shuffle my body in the backwards towards a wall.
"That's enough!" The deep low voice spoke from the darkness.
Immediately the rest of them moved back to their original position and lined up neatly.
"Welcome miss y/n. So nice to see you again... you've grown up" spoke the voice as he walks into the dim light of the room, his figure slowly becoming clear.
"W-who..who are you... how do you know me?!" I raised my voice a the man.
He was dressed in an all black suit, black leather shoes and hair combed back neatly and a smug smile plastered across his face, amused at my question.
"Well you see my dear, i know more about you than you do actually..i know every detail about your past, where you came from and who you really are.." he finishes as he walks slowly towards me crouches down. He reaches his hand up to caress ny hair as i I shuffle back a little in defense, looking up at him curiously and he laughs slightly at my reaction, entertained by my fear.
"Well to answer all your thoughts as to why you're here and what we want with you.. let's start from the very begining shall we?" He stood up and all the other HellVamps sat down on chairs all around the room ready to hear the story.
"Long long time ago, there was a young teenage boy, tall and handsome that was walking through the forest when he stumbled upon a beautiful fair young werewolf girl. You could say it was love at first sight, they were so madly in love with each other. They knew it was wrong to be with each other but, you know.. true love knows no bouderies. After years of being in love they had a baby and the baby turned out to be a half werewolf half human baby. Which is a very rare occurance in our world. What you call a miracle baby with... what's the word.. unique characteristics. When the villagers found out about the baby, many tried to kill it, get rid of it. So both of them fleed the village to a new place with thier baby and raised it together, keeping it's true identiti a secret from everyone including the little baby girl herself. And the little baby girl grew up to be a bautiful young lady who is now trapped in our hands sitting here finally enlightened about her true self".
My mind couldn't process everything quick enough, i was speechless. I'm a half mythical? What? But what does that have to do with me being hunted by these monsters? What do they want with me?
"B-but what does that have to do with you wanting me? What do you want with me?" I asked now even more puzzled than before, curiosity running through my head.
"Aahh yes i was waiting for you to ask me that my dear" he says with a huge smile as he comes back and crouches in front of me.
"You see my dear, we are not like regular Vampires, we are weaker, we aren't immortal, we need more blood than normal Vampires to survive. And to change that we need to perform a specific ritual involving every drop of blood and the heart of a half n half, which in this case... you." He finishes and my heart beats even faster as if it could fall out of my chest any second.
"Y-you're...g-gonna.. y-you.." words not coming out of my mouth, fear washing over me.
"Ssshh don't worry just yet my dear, we have to wait till the blood moon. Only then will the ritual work, and the blood moon is in 7 days... till then we'll keep you here, well fed, warm and cozy, hm? We'll even give you your own delux room in this fine mantion, sound good?" He finished with a smile on his face still amused at me.
"My father will save me! Joonie will find me! I know he will! They come after me!" I shouted at him.
"Haha, funny. Didn't the WereWolf reject you? Left you alone crying in the rain? Left you unprotected because of his selfish heart and now you're taken?" He asks with an eyebrow slightly raised and a cocky smirk on his pale lips.
I could say anything as Namjoon's sharp hurtfull words started to replay in my head. I started to tear up and hung my head low thinking of the scene that kept on repeating like a broken record.
"Tsk tsk tsk tsk, don't cry my sweet. All your pain and suffering will end soon", he spoke softly as he wiped a tear that i didn't realise had rolled down my cheek thinking of Namjoon.
"Take her to the east wing and give her the last room make sure to look it up real good.. we don't want our precious girl to get hurt again" he chuckles as he leaves the room.
Four of the HellVamps picked me up and carried me towards a room and dropped me on the huge bed drapped with silk bedsheets. I didn't bother squirming alot since my thoughts and my heart were filled with hurt. They untied me and left the room locking it. I burried my face into the pillow and and started pouring my eyes out. All the new information and pain hitting me at once. It was alot to process, but i finally understood why my father was protecting me that much, why he warned me to stay away from other mythical beings. They could've used me in other ways that involved me being hurt or dead. But why Namjoon? Why did he stay away from me? What is he afraid of? If im half WereWolf like my mother? Doesn't that mean i can actaully be with him? But why did he push me away? All those thoughts in my slowly faded away as i cried myself to sleep.
BANG. The loud sounds of tables breaking and things crashing to the ground jolted me awake. My heart was beating fast at the sudden sound and i sat up on the bed thinking what those sounds were. Sound of bones breaking and bodies crashing, being thrown around could be heard. I became even more afraid as the curiousity of what it could be and was going on built up faster inside of me. All of a sudden the comotion goes quiet and i hear footsteps come closer to door of the room i'm in and attemp to open the lock. I grab a lampstand and hold it up in defense and wait for the person or thing to come in. The sound of the lock being smashed was hear before a very familiar figure barged in panting and wounded on the arm.
"N-namjoon?!"

Also, if I do decide to shop around, and find a policy cheaper than what I'm currently paying, can I cancel my existing policy before it's due to end?

Insurance Cost Starting Driver-?
Statement of Facts: 16 (soon turning 17) Good Grades, above B, honors Several after school activities (Student Council, if that is even relevant) Impeccable driving history (no infractions) State of Residence: Maine Rural/sub-city? Insured under fathers plan, also clean record (51 and 1 ticket?) Alright, I'm currently under my fathers policy and am driving his vehicle to school and back. Soon we will be purchasing a vehicle for my own, and I have a few questions. To be frank, I am looking at mustangs. Not v6s, but GT v8s, preferably standard transmissions. Dad's biggest problem is insurance, which is understandable. My question is how much said insurance would cost/ raise his existing policy? -I like this model because I want a vehicle with performance. When I think of performance, Muscle comes into mind. The quintessential of this and most feasible is a mustang. Many older versions (such as 1990's, early 2000's) so they are affordable, and I just like them. Also I know a considerable amount of knowledge for my age about vehicles due to helping in my grandfathers garage past summers and many weekend projects.""

Best place to purchase health insurance?
I am starting my own small business and need health insurance for my family. I won't go with Kaiser, please don't ask why. I need an HMO with no deductable or a very low deductable because in my area the Blue Cross, Blue Shield, HealthNet networks have pretty good doctors and hospitals within their approved networks. It will be a family-owned sole prop business. I live and work in California, but if there is value in incorporating in another state for the purpose of taxes or prices on health insurance, I guess I could do it...because I have not formally formed the corporation yet. I used to be under the impression that the best prices for Heath Insurance came when you worked for a big company, but things seem to have changed.

Hi, Myself and a friend will be travelling to California next month to purchase a 1960s vw campervan. We will be driving it to the shipping port to export it back to the uk. I've been told we can get a temporary registration which lasts 28 days and will allow us to drive the van. I've been on the californian DMV website but cannot find any more information or the forms. no email address either! So far I just know we will need to have an insurance certificate to get the temporary registration. Couple of questions really, Do I need to purchase a van before I can get the temporary registration? Ideally I would like to go buy a van and drive it away there and then from the seller but Im thinking I'll have to put a deposit down or similar and get the info and go to the DMV before I can take it away? Second question is insurance, I guess the best idea would be to go with an American company. Will they insure a uk citizen who's just over for a few weeks with just a uk driving license? Any suggestions of companies who may do so? In the uk we have a company called swift who only deal online. This would be ideal because then I wouldn't need an address forms/certificates to be sent. Any ideas? Reason were not getin it transported is because we want to do a bit of travelling on route to a east coast port.""

Car insurance -- should they cover these expenses?
I had an accident a month or two ago. It was in a rental car. I found out today that the insurance company had disallowed some of the charges that the rental company tried to pass to them. Now the rental company is trying to pass those charges to me. They ammount to about $500, plus my deductible, of course. The charges are $100 for an administrative fee $200.89 loss of use fee $139.38 diminished value fee. Who should pay these charges? Should I fork this money over to the car rental company? Should the insurance company pay them? What strategy should I use in my conversations with them? My feeling is that I have insurance, it should pay everything which is an actual cost above and beyond the deductible. ie if I have to pay it, the insurance company should have to pay it. On the other hand, if they are somehow bogus charges, then the rental company can eat it, and that's fine. Thought?""

Different Car insurance rates for different cars?
Alright, I'm 18 and a freshman in college this year, and I commute there 20 minutes everyday to save money (room & board is around 15k). And the car I have now is not really reliable anymore. Its a 94 Cutlass Cierra, and within the last month the Heating Core, and the Alternator have both went, and I've had to sink 600 dollars into it. I'm looking at getting a new car next summer, and I have basically narrowed it down to two choices. An Eclipse (Mitsu) or Cougar (Mercuy). I know its going to cost more to have a sports car, but what I want to know, is how much the different prices for insurance would differ for these two cars. I was going to do one online, but I saw it needed a VIN, and I don't have the car yet. I'm thinking about asking my car insurance company for quotes, but I doubt they would do it. Does anyone know the prices to insure these two cars for a 19 year old. Or a link or any information would be appreciated.""

How long does it take for an auto insurance company to investigate and claim liability?
My daughter was in a car accident on Feb. 25. She was traveling straight in the southbound lane, when a rushing man in the northbound lane turned left in front of her. The driver admitted that he was upset because he had been following a school bus for the last 20 minutes and his friend, whom he was trying to pick up, was late for work. He stated that when he saw the driveway that he cut from behind the bus to turn in then realized from the skidding that he turned in front of a car. His insurance company is still investigating and waiting for pics of the scene and his friends statement. I was told by his insurance company (USAA) that witnesses not listed on the police report could not be used, but his friend is not on the police report and they are waiting for her statement. NC State Highway Patrol responded to the scene and the driver was cited for failure to yield the right of way. The driver was apologetic and admitted several times around a number of people that he must have blanked out or was daydreaming from the frustration of the school bus. USAA is saying that they need to make sure that my daughter was not 1% at fault, meaning speeding perhaps. The officer estimated her speed at impact at around 40 mph and the speed limit is 55mph. She hit the drivers back tire of his Jeep Wrangler (small truck) causing him to rest in a small trench or ditch ion the side of the attempted driveway. The front passenger side above the front tire and the front by the headlight is damaged on her car. She tried to avoid him, protect her younger sister (13) and avoid veering to much left in fear of hitting the school bus. My girls were terrified when I arrived 15 minutes after the accident. USAA stated that she may have had time to instanly stop, but she tried everything that she could do. In my opinion, she should have never been put into that situation. USAA is saying that points of contact are off, but my insurance agent said that she hit the back tire because a Jeep Wrangler is only 5 ft long and he was not towing a boat or driving a common sized vehicle. Plus the driver admitted to pushing down on the accelerator when he realized what was happening. I just need to have someones advice on this matter before hiring a lawyer. Thank you.""

Ardennes Trip Journal - 28.07.19 - 10.08.19
Day 1
23:15 The adventure continues. So much to say and only 14 minutes to do it in. The accommodation is pretty crappy. An old youth hostel converted into something..maybe not even converted. I arrived with 2 woman who couldn’t find their way here with a GPS. Right now I feel like I’ve let myself down a bit. I promised myself I would be authentic, I feel like Im hiding, crawling back into my shell. I promise myself that I will do what it takes to be authentic here, even if I don’t totally know what it means. I think it has to do with flow, carefree ness. There are a few girls here that I’m attracted to, one of them is the lady in charge of the volunteers. She doesn’t have a pretty face but she wears tight clothing and she has a nice body. I like tight clothing on a nice body. I feel like I underestimated the amount of work I’ll have to do here. It seems like mostly work with a bit of free time over. I would like to see more of the surroundings but I’m not sure what, I’m not even sure how curious I am to be honest. The meals are vegetarian and don’t seem to be enough, I have a feeling I won’t be able to fall asleep quickly because I’m kinda hungry. My mind has been hijacked by Mara. I keep thinking about having a little fling with Hanna. I gave her a hug earlier when we were alone in the bathroom. Damn, how did I manage that? The truth is I’m just using her. Lust is toxic, it’s toxic. But the pull toward her is strong. If I go down this road it will lead to another and then another and then another. It doesn’t stop until I put an end to it. Until I make the decision to not engage. The people that work here are rather nice. Bert and Wim and Carlos. There are very cute and friendly young little cats here. This evening I saw the mommy cat run into the garden, frantically lookin*for one of her young ones, and then she gave her a little mice she caught to  play with. It was so adorable. I would like to use my time here to also be able to relax and read and go for walks and bloom socially.
14:00 I’m on a train. It takes almost 4 hours to get there and the time is flying. I’ve read some google reviews of the place and a lot of people say the inside looks kind of shitty and that the food is too vegan. Mixed responses. But then they also say it’s isurroinded by beautiful nature in the middle of nowhere, I’m curious about that! I think it’s going to be pretty cool. I’m tried right now, I need some sleep. I hope I get along with my colleagues, I hope that I can flip the switch and be open, spontaneous and helpful. Wild, adventurous, authentic. Funny af.  I guess all I’m looking for is a nice place to wake up in, with fresh air, some structure, a place to read and relax, a place to push myself a little in terms of social interactions! I’m glad I thought of journaling, I’ll write in this thing every day. They say that phones and WiFi doesn’t park very well there, not sire of this is a good or bad thing but I’m leaning more to it being a good thing. I’m a little worried that I’ll be my usual, rather serious, seldom-able-to-genuinely-smile self, that I’ll close up and all my (perfectly acceptable and even good) ideas will remain ideas in my head, that I might not have the courage to act on ‘em? Maybe? Perhaps? We’ll see. I got a lot of books with me, I’m happy about that. They have a piano there, playing piano is a very meditative practice (even kinda spiritual). I’m also a tad concerned that everyone will be ‘nice’ in an annoying way, like super-friendly, heart-on-their-sleeves millennials there to confront me with how old and uptight I am :-) I’m actually just a big kid inside, but showing that side takes a lot of guts, requires a lot of freedom (giving myself permission to be free), requires a certain amount of trust ofcourse. But I want just that. Carefreeism. Feeling the fear and doing it anyway. Ain’t no one, NO one going to give you permission to put on that hat, that’s a decision you make on your own..Writing this I feel a bit like the main character from a Michael hollebeqs ‘Whatever’. A guy who’s very aware of everything, has a fair amount of emotional intelligence, but is a little dead inside. Desperately in need of using his imagination, spontaneity. Fuck it i don’t want that! I reckon the people there will be hippy types with loose, comfortable clothing. Some dreadlock types that I will kind of look down on but they’ll be too busy living there lives (like I should be doing) to care. Fuck, when did this become a novel? I’m writing this as though someone is going to read it, someone like Lisa and I’m trying my best to be all insightful and clevah. Fuck that, this is my journal and I’ll be as daft and incoherent as I want. Meanwhile small Wallonian towns zip past me under overcast weather from this train. This little spot here is my comfort zone but also a creative abs therapeutic space. Fuck this train announce speak is loud and just above me. I’m hungry. I’m concerned abou this strict vegan policy they have there, that I’ll be hungry all the time, and won’t be able to sleep. I’m enthusiastic about apply Radical Acceptance techniques to this experience. To take the time to recognise how I feel, to ‘paise’ and offer myself some compassion perhaps. It’s okay, whatever happens: it’s okay. Showing up as you is ok. Feeling afraid and unsafe is okay. Being jouuous and free is okay. Doing you is ok. Not doing you is ok. Not having a good time is ok. You’re ok. I DON’T want to use this journal as a place to hide. A place to observe the world on the other side of some glass. Day 2
9:50 I slept ok, not great. The beds were ok. I have 10 minutes to write this and it all feels a bit rushed. I got laundry to do coz my shit is filthy. The weather is really nice and there is a really pretty courtyard with flowers and birds and little cats. Breakfast was pretty good, lots of oatmeal and things to choose from. I’m really bummed abiut the fact that our shifts here are split up in 2, through out the day, making it hard to leave the premise. I’m sitting here in the kitchen and there’s a world out there that I’d like to discover. The water for the shower is warm as opposed to hot. I’m tired but I’m so used to it that I hardly notice it anymore. I don’t feel much like talking, and others seem to want to talk. I don’t mind that much I guess, but I also want to not feel obligated to chat. But when I’m on my own i also feel a bit restless. I’m bothered by the stains on my shorts which look a bit gross. Worried that ill be limited to only the kitchen and the immediate surroundings while I’m here. The ‘sugar’ I put in my coffee is unrefined and tastes kind of gross. I have a feeling I’m going to get annoyed by the work here. I came here to work but also enjoy the surroundings. Damn. 22:30 I’m super tired right now, o feel o should have gotten more rest. They make us work a lot over here, it’s testing my laziness. I went for a walk and it was quite nice. I’m giving this experience a 6 out of 10 so far. I feel like a kid at times. I saw a horse that was blind in one eye, I stroked his face and his hit vs,r off on my finger. He seemed very ol and quite sad. I would have done more for him if I knew what he wanted. I have this feeling that I’m missing something. This afternoon I sat in front of the piano and I could lose myself in the notes. It was meditativive and restorative. It felt like something spiritual, I enjoyed it. I, tore, did I mention I was tired. I also feel a bit floppy and like...not a whole person. I’m worried that I’ll be stuck in arrested development forever, I feel so immature at times. I know that reliving the pain would fix it all but you can’t force these kind of things. Anyway, the weather is good, the people are nice and I’m happy to call it a night. I feel like I can do a lot more though.
Day 3 
22:50 I woke up today in a really bad mood. Not enough sleep, bad sleep. We eat vegan food here all day long, maybe that’s effecting it. I have quite a lot of wind, but that’s ok. I worked today, it’s 5 or 6 hours but it feels like all day. I’m happy to be here. I socialise all day too, and it’s fine. Sometimes not fine, sometimes I’m gripped with self-consciousness every time I open my damn mouth. Sometimes it feels like every single interaction is awkward, I know what is required is to let go but I probably put too much  pressure into it. Letting go is actaully effortless really, want an idea.  Anyway, I ended things with Katya today and i think this is for the best. I’m smoking too much and I think it’s for the best. I think about Carlos quite a bit, he’s quite a special dude. And Wim is leaving tomorrow and I’m sorry about that, I’m gonna miss him a little. His brother Bert is a nice guy, such an open and friendly person, with a big heart. I find it hard to make eye contact with himi, in a way. The ladies love him. Speaking of ladies I went with a walk with Hanne and I made tons of moves to the point she felt uncomfortable. When I returned I felt guilty and empty. I’d like to relax more here. I’m looking into doing something similar to this in a place with an ocean. This whole experience has been good. The work grounds me, puts things into perspective, but I have to admit I was expecting something a little better than this. I now know that my idea of farming or working in this way was merely a romantic one. Actually I want to be around creative people. People like me who want to make things, get lost in things, I’m just not yet sure what that ‘thing’ is.
Day 4 
22:40 Sitting here in the back of my corvette. Sitting here in the mountains of Spain, not claiming to know anything anymore. And so the journey begins.. Day 4. I keep asking Hanne for hugs. I worked in the garden today, I wasnt feeling it very much at  all. But I should be greatful, my teenage years were really tough, said the talk show host. I’m greatly out of touch with my center today, I could meditate on this though, embrace it, use it, it feels good to be alone. 12 minutes every single day. I’m waiting for the American cook. Hanna is leaving tomorrow for holiday in Schotland, I feel sad abiut that. And Wim left today. It was really nice getting to know him. He told me a lot about his travelling through South America. He’s got this crazy look in his eyes, he looks a bit like he took some bad acid, he also looks like someone who might be an alcoholic. I feel like I’m not capable of getting close to anyone at times, and they can sense it. I want to though, maybe they don’t notice it. Hanne is a work horse, but obviously has her own issues. She is cute though. Jeff is also cool of course. I feel like I scare people. I got a nice compliment from Carlos who said I should do stand up comedy. Where the heck is Lorenzo at? He said that to me 2 once. I get my energy by losing myself in creativity, making jokes. I get my creativity from a lot of things. Right now I’m in bed, nothing to be said. Right now I live like there’s a tomorrow, a red car racing. Like MJ and codependency. I called Lisa, she sounded enthusiastic and happy to hear from me. Latisha is doing well and is her cute self, miss her. I saw someone take one of the little cats away today and I cried just a little. I’m sure she  will be loved in her new home.
Day 5
21:50 Day 5 in Orval. I like it here, it’s peaceful. The grass is green, the birds sing and there’s cats around. I worked in the kitchen today and then then the garden. Enough to fill the day and I’m tired and ready for bed. Hanna left for Schotland today, I fooled around with her in her bedroom, but she held me at bay and I wasn’t interested in treating her like a sex object. She’s sweet and deserves a lot better. Carols was up to his usual tricks, conspiracy theories and what not. We found out today that I weigh twice as much as him. I’m actually gaining weight here, crazy. I’m saving money while being here, and doing the right thing. One of my goals being here is to show up authentically every single day. I’m kind of doing that, but sometimes I’m not sure what that means. I think it involves using my body. My work ethic has become a bit of a joke, I’m the guy that breaks away from the kitchen to play piano, it has crossed my mind that I like it when people are talking about me, even f it’s negative, even if it’s laughing. I think i night want constant reassurance, but deep down I want something more real than that, you know? Meditate on that. I’m not meditating, but enough about me. Wim is returning tomorrow, that’s cool. Not sure if I have a half day off tomorrow or not. The good is great. I haven’t eaten a single animal product in 5 days. I feel fine, I don’t feel amazing though, like the early days of changing my diet. Worked with Jeff in the garden, the sun was shining real pretty like, I posed as a Mexican drug cartel worker, it was silly. I thought I lost my kindle, but I didn’t.  I want to make plans to go on more walks, do some excercise, get up early. I would like to make kale smoothies too. I had an amazing insigh today, often when people talk to me, I feel a lot of tightening up around the heart. Construction of the heart. It’s clear in a way. That’s when I decide to relax and look the person right in the eye, and I feel the wall, the constricting melt a little. Other times I feel the opposite way, other times I feel my heart opening up, and I feel love and I honestly feel like giving the people around me a big big. There are people here that have stayed for 5 months. You can save money by being here. Don’t got back to Hurtsville. Your time here is good.
Day 6 
23:10 Day 6 in bold. They make us work too much over here. I did some weeding today, fuck, never doing that again. I lasted an entire hour. I think I’d lose my mind if I were a farmer, I need people too much. Need em to reassure me, tell me I’m alive. It’s been a long day, we work about 32 hours/week here. That’s almost a full time job, what a crappy candle. The highlight of my day might have been my meditation. Sitting under a tree with a horsefly that I killed,  it very Buddha like. The meditation helped me become more grounded. Later I went on Facebook. What the help are we doing with our lives? My her is Conan, what a silly name. How does this guy come up with so many jokes, he’s so damn funny. ‘My riff-gun was jammed’ Patton Oswald. I need a plan or a goal while I’m here. I’m stuck on this island and I’m not alone. More walks please, more excercise. Wim returned and that’s cool.
Day 7
22:40 Carlos the little monkey with the conspiracy theories. I’m getting back into using my phone again, and a little bit of porn too. It was very tiring day today. Wim and I went for a walk, we went to the abdij where Orval beer is made but we didn’t go in. We got personal, talked about heavy, personal stuff. I can’t say that it did much for me. I still feel like a sense of self, or bottom or ground is missing, and that’s ok, that’s just the kind of guy I am. We worked a lot and I felt so lazy, so tired. We are working something like 35 hours a week. I haven’t worked this much in a long time, it’s more work than I expected obviously. The weather was good, new groups have arrived and I find myself eyeing the ladies. I make a lot of jokes and everyone laughs at them it’s almost too easy. Acceptance. Nature. Hide away, dancing. 5 rhythm dancing. Dance to Maastricht. I don’t know, I don’t know. I don’t know. Bert used to live in Costa Rica. He’s so at ease with himself it’s crazy. He says it’s all about being in the body, and dancing and yoga and some meditation. Wim must feel overshadowed a little, I still really enjoy playing the piano, I still feel the need to be an entertainer or performer of some kind. Do your best forget the rest, thanks for coming.
Day 8
00:15 Im beat, what a day. I feel tired and immature. The asshole social worker. We cleaned today, the entire kitchen. It was a time of laziness, and work and seriousness. I, getting fatter over here. The American cook showed up. And a very young couple. And the bosss and his hens. The American cook is called Mark or Marc and he comes acrosss like a healthy and capable man with an eye for the ladies. His wife or girlfriend also seems nice. I met a very nice girl today called Sophie, me and Wim had a drink with her. It’s good to be here, good to be in the real world. On Tuesday I get my day off, I guess the only thing I’m planning to do is rest. Wim and I are getting closer, lots of laughs and stuff. I feel small and inadequate right now and it’s uncomfortable, but I’ll breathe into it, accept it,  have it down the whole. I think you can do a lot with it but maybe never fully get used to it. Or something? I coughed a lot, I have a slight hangover now. I’m still impressed with this Sophie girl I just met. She seems so nice. I feel fat. Stick to your principals.
Day 9 
00:05 Camp fire singing. I should count my blessings. I feel a bit like a coward but I guess I should be proud that I sang. I lost my center, but that’s ok, everything is ok. Lots of laughs with Wim, I’m going to miss that dude. Staring at Melissa’s legs a lot. Cooking in the kitchen, with Mark and his pleasant wife. Mark is not a Buddhist, but he respects them. I felt intense shame while trying my best to play guitar. I want to frame it differently though, I want to quantify it coz I want to pass through it. Pass through the eye of the storm, it’s so nice on the other side, I’m sure of it. Sophie is so nice, I haven’t met a girl that nice in a while. Feels like I keep holding back, but beating myself up over it doesn’t make it better, doesn’t change anything. I woke up late and missed most of breakfast. I was in a lousy mood. Wim offered to do my dishes. There are so many people here, it’s non-stop interaction, at times it gets a bit much. I took a nap today and passed out almost immediately. I feel embarrassed by my weight. A new volunteer arrived in heels. Katy the 19 year old girl stood very close to me when i did something on my phone. Marks music is a bit boring in the kitchen. Wim and I shared many laughs, he’s a good guy. He cracks me up, I’m lucky to have him here. It’s good to be random, it’s good to not make sense, it’s a way to shake it all off. Inside of me is a child that wants to be let out. It wants light and air and to be seen, but he doesn’t feel safe. He’s embarrassed and ashamed and doesn’t feel good enough, but it’s the closest to something real I’ll ever feel. Jeff is a really nice, sincere, honest dude. I like him. But I gotto be real, if I don’t care I don’t care. Life I can be tough, so confusing at times. But I’m here, I’m doing this, I’m a alive, I laugh a lot, I accept.
Day 10
23:15 The skies were gray today. Wim left for the second time and he took Thomas with him. I was having a bad day until I took a nap and did some journaling. I walked down the road by myself and sat some of the crappy but charming neighbourhood housing. I’m eating less and less and I feel great right now. All this vegan food, no meat for almost 2 weeks. I feel looser today, happy to be around Wim and Jeff, happy to talk bullshit, more in a flow. Out there the air is thick with rain air, and tents are scattered across the grass bellow me. Mark is a nice guy but I notice we all get a bit more serious when he’s around us. It’s interesting to note that. I’ve been travelling with my dick in my pocket, I made a move on one of the girls here and I plan on subtly making moves on Katy, or whatever her name is, which is kind of gross of me. I should be ashamed of myself.. but enough about me, I was just following my dick. It feels good to be here though, I’m going to miss it. I’m glad I met Wim and plan to see him when I get back to Antwerp to talk more bullshit, etc etc. ALl these interactions can get a bit much. Melissa is so serious. The energy is good here.
Day 11
00:50 Nothings wrong I don’t get it. Hootchie girl, tease, this is. It going as planned. I strummed my guitar like a beast, leaflets on the floor. Better tomorrow. This is silly. This is silly, I care and I don’t care because I do t know what the heck I’m doing. I just want to stand for something in life. That’s all she said, the importance of being strong and saying something. I’m welcome back anytime. The bird is here, on the roof, performing for god knows who. Unable to break through, because no one ever gave him permission to. That’s sad but dead, gotto get the scream out of my system. I’m glad for you but not excited, we want the same things only different. Artists inside,  but vague in what we want. You’re tall, I’m tall, let’s make babies, let’s quit smoking. I lied to you actually. I’m not hurt, not going in some direction. Taking the piles a day at a time. William Prine, bathroom break. Big butt girl called Anoek, soft eyes, another girl under my belt, I feel gross about it , leaning into the fear is like leaning into the sun. we sat around a fire today, we played songs. Sophie leaned against me until our backs became uncomfortable. The smoke in my hair, the smoke in all of ours. I tried to be brave, I was brave, I sang the best I could. Now is not the time, my defence mechanism is cunning and baffling, I relate to it. I would rather have nothing that be a shaky leaf trying to ‘score’, I feel embarrassed and ashamed and I seek re-assurance. It’s ok toadman, see you at the breakfast table. DAY 13
4:00 I don’t understand what happened. Caily contacted me and told me she was raped by Mark. The American cook I liked. I don’t understand. I don’t feel much, just inklings of some confusion. I’m unable to let this idea sink in property. Raped?? Mark the guy I spent 5 days with raped a 19 year old girl?? Threatened her with a knife?? I don’t understand, this doesn’t compute with me. Caily is a wonderful person, sweet, real, authentic. She contacted me, we chatted for hours. I hope she’s ok, even though I don’t know what to feel. I tired to just keep her company, be there for her. I’m trying to think what I would do if I saw him. He might have ruined a 19 year old girls life.. she’s numb right now and traumatised. This is the world we live in. People who are innocent and real get preyed on by predators it seems. They have their innocence taken away. Caily is one of the most innocent and authentic girls I’ve ever met. So incredibly naive in a way. This man preyed on that if this really happened. I hope she’s ok. I hope she’s able to live fully again. I hope she’s able to process all this, to trust again.
Day 14 conclusions and shit
T’was a perfectly imperfect trip. The conclusion rests in the balance of: I had a really enjoyable time, I’m glad that I went there. As I sit in black shorts and shoes with holes in them on a bench in Antwerp, Orval seems pretty far away already. But it’s cool. I’m not yet sure what to  make about the ending though. A girl might have been raped. I think she was raped because she’s at the police right now. On the last day we did a big clean of the kitchen, the 2nd one during my stay. Sofie was with is helping in the kitchen, chopping onions and doing a splendid job. I was tired from the night before, the third night of building a camp fire and playing sharades and some songs. We gathered the fire wood ourselves, firewood that spat and crackled and carried a few ticks. Caily was with us. We had so much fun. And Jef. Oh how I remeber that night, it was like it was yesterday, or the day before yesterday, which it was. A little sprinkler water to cool us off, we dragged Melissa through the snow, coughing and spitting and giggling like a happy school child. We did good and we did her good

KK IM READY NOW🤗 so. it's like the game in the mystery aspect- there's a 'before' and an 'after' the 'event' is what they need to find out. BEFORE- after coming home from a war, shiro decided to open an animation studio (this is the simple version he probably had reason idek) and he took some other friends that he new to work with him. pidge and matt as projectionists, hunk as an engineer/mechanic, lance who helps write cheesy songs, allura voice actress, ect. it was fun. until they got popular
(2) while designing the main character or mascot for the studio beforehand, shiro saw Keith's cat in the window sill and had an idea. Keith had died in the war while fighting with a special team and shiro decided to honour his memory by making the mascot an anthro cat (totally not a furry lmao) that resembles and acts like keith and the shows would always be dedicated to him. shiro didnt realise how popular he would be, making him constantly wonder if this was the best way to preserve his memory
(3) with all the stress on such a small team, problems quickly began to rise. deadlines weren't being met, and overall it as such a mess. the crew rarely saw shiro anymore and when they did, he didn't look okay and he didn't act like himself. he wasn't sleeping much, just planning for something big. the big thing presented itself as a giant ink machine.
oh yeah in this au remember shiro has mad ptsd and a cool old-times prosthetic arm (that some how works in this time lmao
(4) pidge finds notes written in messy ink: 'why stop at his memory? we can bring him back too' and 'this will save the company! why hesitate?' it looks like shiro's hand writing, but she doesn't think it's him. strange things are happening, and she's not sure if she want to stay and find out. but she can't leave. the stairway is flooded with ink again. she is really not a fan of the machine and ends up talking about this issue with lance-the pump to drain the stairway is in his office.
(5) disaster strikes- shiro ends up in the hospital, everyone else: missing. (6) AFTER: shiro wakes up in his apartment well rested for the first time in ages. he figures it's time to go to work and gets ready but something is different. he can't figure it out. the studio is a mess, and he doesn't remember anything about an ink machine. i imagine this part is just like chapter one-collect the objects, turn on the machine. instead of bendy, shiro finds something else.
(7) there's this deformed mess of seemingly solidified ink that seems to be breathing lying down next to the machine. he watches as it slowly attempts to get up but fails until it eventually turns around. the ink reaches out and calls to shiro with a familiar voice. shiro thinks it's unreal but the voice belongs to keith, and the longer shiro stares the more he notices half of the mess of ink that is keith is actually the character based off him. the other half of his body is his regular self
(8) however, the character side seems to be a more deformed version, as he is constantly dropping ink from that side, but also becasue the claws seem sharper (always out not retractable like the character) and it overall just looks terrifying. he's so out of balance that walking or getting up is hard so he reaches for shiro. his ink touches shiro's prosthetic, which covers the entire thing and essentially covers the arm in ink, but he can still use it like normal even better to help keith up now
(9) shiro is now more careful not to let any part of keith touch him except for his arm. keith understands and talks about how he never wants to go back to living in the dark puddles again and would never wish anyone that fate. he talks about the first time he "came to be" and how 'shiro' was there talking to him through the ink before he drowned in it. shiro doesn't remember this, and asks keith if he remembers the war or if he's actaully talking to the character. keith says he remembers dying
(10) he also remembers various 'events' that shiro recognises as shorts he animated with the character. keith then asks if he was real, or if he was just some figment of imagination somehow brought to life. shiro's silence doesn't help because he doesn't think he's stable enough to answer. after a short while keith's body begins to stabilise more so they explore the studio to go find the missing others
(11) that's all plot wise but here's some random points: keith's body will start to melt more depending on his emotional state (like "hey keith are u okay" "ye" "no ur melting what's wrong") keith can somehow communicate with other ink monsters. kuro is involved in the 'event' (nyehe i'll tell u more once i have your thoughts on it). shiro doesn't actaully remember how the studio got so big. it was small the last time 'he' saw it. demonic circles r everywhere too. shiro's ink arm is pretty solid
(12) everyone has something part of them now made of ink just obviously not as much as keith. i imagine the with the format of the game shiro finds a different person each chapter. chapter 1 he find keith, chapter 2 lance, chapter 3 pidge/matt, ect. not sure if i want other cartoon characters (kinda like half of keith) alive yet. (they would make things problematic. which might be good idek let's see)
SWEET HERE WE GO
i don’t know exactly what the mechanics behind the ink creatures in the actual game are (is it implied that alice angel is actually her voice actor?  actually maybe, now that i think about it, because she has two voices, right?) so are you thinking that each missing person corresponds with an animated character?  except probably the projectionists, right?  because they’re not characters, they’re literally just projector heads--the equipment instead of the product
oooh i could see pidge and matt as kind of a tag team, matt with the head of a microphone and pidge with the projector head, and matt sits in wait until shiro/keith make too much noise and then pidge gets summoned and her beam of light traps them
kuro is like the ink demon, right?  so as shiro is going around people THINK he’s the evil one until he can convince them he’s not, and the whole time there’s the threat of the real monster crawling out of the shadows :O
also i’m love the idea of necromancy using black ink??  that’s my favorite fucking thing i’ve ever heard, also with shiro’s prosthetic and the ink machine it’s almost like steampunk except... inkpunk?  HOLY SHIT
also... imagine how much creepier it would be if Keith’s character on the show was silent?  like, they wouldn’t just find a voice actor to voice him because it would just be kinda uncanny valley for shiro, they probably spent months looking for the right voice actor and no one could quite capture him so in respect for the actual man who died they kept the character silent... 
so when shiro first sees him in the factory, he think’s he’s going to be silent (like boris :O) and then he talks, and it’s in keith’s voice.  the RIGHT voice.
that might be the reason shiro or kuro started to get a little, uh, weird in the ‘before’.  he wanted to make this character into KEITH and he couldn’t find the right voice actor, or the right storyboards, or the right scripts... and it just kept driving him more and more into desperation, partly because he thought business would go smoother if he just found the right artist/voice actor, and partly because he just wanted keith back...  grief, man
imagine factory workers who paint smiles crooked on merchandise, it would be like they were insulting keith himself... at least to shiro.  that anger... that could drive anyone to the darkness.  inky, inky darkness :O

review shinees lucifer album 🐸 (im judging anything below a 9/10 jsyk)
send me an album and i’ll review it
alright SO 2010 kpop, lucifer was arguably shinees break out album (really theyve been the shit since replay with that rookie grand slam, PLUS with ring ding dong as a strong single of the ep Y.O.U.) i personally think this is due to how shinee was branded as actaully fucken amazing at dancing, and the lucifer choreography is honestly something unmatched, especially for the time that it came out.
but honestly for me as how i view things in shinee’s discography timeline, as well as with sales or what not i really think lucifer was that staple that not only was hype af when it came out but its main single “lucifer” still brings people onto shinee to this day so? really iconic album
however, as a long time shinee fan, i really love lucifer mostly nostalgically, like most people the first video i saw from shinee was lucifer, the first album i downloaded was lucifer, i tried learning the vogueing part from lucifer (and i still remember it lmao) so for me lucifer is really? great, mostly because it’s album i listened to when i was super young and kinda brought me onto shinee which in turn brought me to a wider spectrum of music
however, while it may be shinee’s amazing throwback album, looking back on it as a whole it really did not showcase the amazing powerhouse shinee is.
im not talking singing wise, lucifer does showcase amazing vocals but, shinee as a whole has a huge history of being contemporary, of always bringing people that new shit-that good shit-that cutting edge shit. and i think it’s taken them some time to grow into that contemporary mindset, before this mostly imo theyve been contemporary in the terms of style and what not but musically they’ve more or less sat comfortably of what was kinda going on. rather than being on the edge of the trend imo they brought out something that refined the trend to further establish it as the norm-before moving on as the trend changes
(imo shinee breaks out with sherlock as THAT group musically and artistically, that constantly pushes kpop music but thats for another review)
however lucifer is a staple in shinee’s discography and it’s a really nice album for that 2010 nostalgia era, it has cute upbeat songs, the freaking catchy lucifer as well as some gr8 ballads (and electric heart, imo one of the BEST songs shinee’s ever done)
anyway here’s the track by track review lmao:
(disclaimer, vocally shinee’s performances never disappoint (maybe rap wise but never singing wise) this is mostly me critiquing like the actual music and what it brings to the table as a cohesive album so not really shinee but mostly the production team backing them up and sm’s musical choices lmaoooo)
the first track is up and down, it’s classic 2010 kpop era type of song, it’s cute it’s catchy it’s upbeat. the main vocalists voices are strong af and the backing voices are really noice as well, the chorus is extremely catchy and it’s just? a straight forward catchy song. honestly nothing really new, especially with the placements of the raps but? it’s just a sweet listen, maybe a bit too sweet as the years pass, i think ready or not is a better catchy pop-y song imo but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
the next track is lucifer and honestly im gonna give my actual opinion, i dont listen to lucifer anymore sure i love lucifer but honestly i think this is just the perfect throwback song that you’re super hype for but in my opinion i dont listen to on the daily, like its good and it’s just catchy but, it follows that generic verse chorus verse chorus rap chorus. really what brought shinee into the lime light imo was their dancing and lucifer showcased that AMAZINGLY, but songwise it’s pretty? catchy but ?? you feel me??????
next is electric heart and electric heart TO THIS DAY is one of my favorite all time shinee songs. dude shinee has not done this type of song before, and it’s the only time they do this type of song on this album. the vocals are breathy and self assured, the harmonies are fucken angelic, the instrumentals fit their voices perfectly gives a very moody almost? seductive type of vibe that’s really punctuated by their falsettos. fucken A+++ track and honestly it really stands out from the album IMO just because of the way they sing and just how they all work together to make the song work. it’s groovy and sensual and jams when it needs to and just? a great listen all of them work so well in this ugh i love it
then it’s a-yo which i used to love when i was younger, not to repeat myself but the way i feel about this track is how i honestly feel about up and down with the exception that this song isn’t as upbeat, it’s more of a subdued upbeat song, something that in my opinion would fit perfectly in their replay album? i feel like it has that 2008 vibe. anyway yeah. catchy, cute, nothing new but nothing wrong w that
ok then we hit obsession and it’s one of the few shinee songs i actually dont like. i will give them the fact that it’s pretty experimental i guess?? for them??? for this album? the only problem is how out of place it feels, like we have upbeat and catchy then kinda sensual rly nice electric heart and then this? it has a darker tone and it’s? okay i guess i just think they really didn’t go all way that they couldve on this, i feel like theyve really refined the “darker” songs or more desperate sounding songs on the misconception albums. like it’s dark then soft and then you’re hit with jonghyun almost pleading chorus, honestly im not that big of a fan of it, especially with how the beginning and the chorus sound so disjointed on the same song but not in a Cool Experimental way imo, i kno i lot of people like it and if you do please tell me why!! would love to discuss w you all c:
after you’re hit with quasimodo which is a str8 up ballad and it would sound weird to have on an album that has songs like up and down and ready or not but? being placed after obsession was a great choice imo so it doesn’t sound so jarring. this is a complete ballads with fucken amazing vocals but especially the way they all just work together especially on the verses leading up to vocals. imo im not a huge fan of ballads but this is a really beautiful song that’s just, a great soft listen if you like those types of ballads. imo not anything new or groundbreaking but honestly it’s a Typical Ballad song in which jinki kills it so??? not really complaining
ok then it’s shout out which i was….obsessed with and honestly i….never listen to it now. it’s a great, “we’ve gone thru so much shit and here we are bitch we’re back and we dont give up” song i guess. however, in my opinion as a rap song? it’s not really? anything new or anything really?? astounding, imo listening back it’s kinda? i dont wanna say childish but i think like as utilizing “rapping” as a form of conveying music shinee (esp minho and kibum) have really improved on that a lot in their after years, and this is like a last remaining album of kibum and minho rapping the way every kpop group did in 2010 you know? nothing really shinee-like it’s just? idk it really isnt that great listening back and how far theyve come since it (odd eye guys, the rap in odd eye is a perf example because the rap goes along so well with the song itself and it feels like it sits in shinee’s discography as a perfect shinee song rather than A Rap Song They Did) and idk yeah, not a big fan now and i honestly think it’s great to show just how much shinee has grown as a kpop group to actual artists.
next up is wowowow and it’s? another catchy upbeat song but it’s not really with a lot of substance imo, like i feel they really went hard on the autotone like autotune can be used as a really cool device in song producing but i feel like? it’s a bit off putting with jonghyun’s high vocals you know?  it’s catchy but???? it’s just cute that’s it, what are they offering here that the other upbeat songs on this album dont offer? not to bash on it but?? there’s not much to say that i havent already ;A; (it’s still really cute)
your name is next and it’s? a cute slower song. it’s slow but not ballady. it’s like if wowowow was w/o autotune and like a bit more chiller. it’s just a sweet song nothing really???amazing i guess?? the “lalalala” the members do is really nice and i like it towards the end, once minho raps and the song changes a bit, i feel like it’s less generic and a cooler listen, like most songs in this era there’s a slight change towards the end of the song with the first two halves sounding extremely similar. nothing much to say w this one just. it’s cute.
then it’s life, which if i have one thing to say about this album’s lack of a cohesive feel is the fact that they put the slower songs with perfect transitioning songs before them, so listening to the album straight isn’t a jarring experience so honestly??? good on them that was a fab choice. now in my opinion, quasimodo was a better ballad-mostly because all the members really work together backing each other up and it sounds greater orchestrally than this song. life takes nearly two minutes to pick up, now i lov a slow start to get the tension started but really it doesn’t pick of until 1:50 and there isn’t really? anything amazing going on instrumentally to garner attention imo, shinee’s vocals are beautiful but?? u kno???? like most songs the cool shit is towards the end but i feel like it’s just subdued with some great notes belted out. classic ballady song if you like it, but again i think quasimodo really brought it home without sounding like it’s taking a while to get to the good parts you know????
after it’s ready or not. which i know i mentioned having transitining songs from slower to upbeat, which is NOT the case with this. but i FUCKEN lov ready or not. it’s literally like a better version of up and down imo, up and down sounds incredibly repetitive because of the whole rollercoaster ride thing, but this is like a repetitive song that doesnt seem like it’s looping. it has some embarssing 2010 song moments but honestly??? i dont care it’s literally a cute up beat song, generic especially with that kpop formula and the slight change towards the end but honestly thats what shinee was doing at the time, and it was fine. im only being so hard on this album because shinee Really Fucking Worked on their music and really went like beyond everything to become the shinee we know and love and appreciate today. so yeah. generic cute pop song that i still jam to but dont listen to often.
then it’s love pain, which i mean? it’s like a more hurt ayo lmao. like in the way it’s sung and it’s feel, the subject matter can be totally different. anyway not much to say just like…this album is so 2010 and this song really captures that like idk not much critique on this, i dont love it anymore but? vocals are gr8 and it’s a cool slow song
the album finishes with love still goes on, which is i think an AMAZING reference to the song love should off their first album. it’s a nod to the past while showing off how theyve grown and how theyve improved their vocals. the problem i have with this song is literally the same with ready or not with a dash of side eye at the raps but honestly?? it’s cute its happening and i just think the nod to their first album was a cute way to finish the album. it doesnt finish with a band but rather with a thanks, and i think that was really lovely
anyway my final review is: nostalgia/10 (with me mostly only listening to electric heart, ready or not, love still goes on and up and down)
but again this was me really just? giving a thorough critique lmao i still really lov this album, i own it (a ver AND b ver) and honestly if i ever see shinee live and they do any song off this album you will catch me wiping the tears from my eyes while belting out the lyrics. hyped as fuck. i kno this album like the back of my hand istgggggg i really do love this album, it’s just musically we all kno shinee is that group, but it’s super cool looking at their progression as artists and how theyve moved along musically!!

Going to Disneyland with Inner circle
I didn’t want to go to Disneyland. Really. I knew Cassian was an adrenaline maniac, yet I wasn’t. I rather found flying with him too lively. But a promise is a promise. I promised him I would go with him wherever he wanted because we were celebrating me joining the squad , as Mor called this, and I didn’t want to go anywhere, however he was the one who insisted on going somewhere so I said he could pick a place and I would go. When the sun finally took over the sky, which was around six in the morning, we had already begun to drive to our destination. Azriel, Mor, Amren, Feyre and Rhys were also with us as and the car was a little tight for three pairs of wings. Rhysand was already exicted because he was silently a fan of Pirates of the Caribbean and Feyre was a fangirl too, Amren and Mor loved being dressed as Snow White and Cinderella, though I have to admit that Amren is the scariest Snow White I have ever seen. And Azriel well, Azriel went just because we were there, which was enough for him. In time we reached Disneyland, we were fully awake. Cassian and Rhys were singing off tune to some rather not famous song and they claimed they knew lyrics by heart. I was very nervous about my soon-to-be future. Maybe I was shaking because there was an arm on my shoulder, slowly rubbing it as the voice from behind said :“You needn’t to worry about it, June, it’ll be perfectly fine.” Feyre. As she said it, I may believe it. Until I saw one of roller coasters. This thing was huge, with way too many loops for my stomach. Why vomit on the ride, when you can vomit now? I turned around and as I saw a spark in Cassian’s eyes I just knew, he will make me take this ride. I started thinking about all the things I could had done and how young sixteen was to die. What did Feyre say before? It’ll be perfectly fine. It will be, I thought too myself, and felt a grin rising on my face. Cass saw it and if you asked me a day before, I wouldn’t say he was that enthusiastic about one roller coaster, because he ran faster than ever to it. I looked back to our friends and as Rhys was carelessly waving, Azriel gave me the I-understand-you-too-well look of his. If I knew how to pray, I would. But I didn’t and it would be what would be. As we waited in queue, I thought about how many things I could see in Velaris because the city was truly magical and I guessed I hadn’t even seen a library because Cassian was too afraid to go there, gods know why. “What are you thinking about?” Cass said, while giving me one of his special smirks. With it, I felt courageous. “Of how much fun we will have, of course,” my fading smile appeared as a next facial exprection. “Are you afraid?” The voice behind me was cold and familiar. “How did you come here so fast?” said Cassian to Amren who stared at us expressionless. “I am full of surprises,” breathed Amren and Cassian bursted out laughing. His laugh is magnificent and I couldn’t help laughing because of it. Because the line was longer than Sidra river (okay, maybe not that long) and the pressure was getting bigger. I started nervously stepping around. Cassian noticed it. He stepped closer and hugged me tightly. His smell of wet soil hit my nostrils. Besides I am sure I smelled a hint of an orange he ate earlier and my lavender shampoo. Was that my smell, I thought, yet I didn’t remember washing my hair yesterday. “We are about to go,” he whispered and my stomach groaned. Or maybe that was me. I don’t reckon it now. Why my luck was on its bottom at the moment, it went a little more down as we sat in the first row. I hoped I will see Mor in her dresses and a picture of Feyre with Jack Sparrow after this. The coaster slowly began to move. Slowly was just the firs impression of this amusment device. I screamed my way with terror and Cassian with priceless joy. Amusement, regretable choice of words.We started to climb on the track upon the hill and this time it was really slow. Its speed surprised me for a moment, but then I remembered what usually happens after the train gets slower. We were starting to reach the top of a hill. My hand automatically searched for the one my right. I felt his stare on me. “What?” I asked while the coaster completly stopped. “I love you, Juniper,” and a small “Finally,” from the back were the last words I heard before we smashed down. And I didn’t scream. I was too surprised. I felt the same since his performance of the infamous “National Illyrian hymn” Azriel wrote yet Cass composed the melody. I immediately fell for him. I shut my eyes as the wind blew faster than we. Did I really smell sugar in the air? My heart beat, not in the usual rhythm. The grip on my palm tightened and it was in this moment when I knew what was I about too do after the ride. (im gonna strip him with my strength). As the coaster stopped I turned around to face him, my face was cupped in his hands and I felt we were thinking the same thought. I leaned forward and our lips touched. Not too fiercely, not too gently. His wings slightly flapped. Eyelids covered my eyes again and the world around me, his face, went dark, though I could claim I saw tiny stars. He tasted of oranges and his lips were sweet as sugar, if not sweeter. Did I smell his lips in the air? We had to leave the roller coaster (and apparently, Amren) behind and Cass was still holding my hand. I let myself feel careless while he led me gods-know-where. He was an expert warrior, not like me, and he knew how to hide in the shadow, because Azriel probably taught him that with a reason. And he started kissing me again and again and again as he sometimes whispered my name and I made him shut up with more kisses and I-love-yous. After a while, he backed up and my lips felt more tired than me from the early morning. He grinned. “You started to taste like me.” “And how do you know your own taste?” I raised my eyebrows and he kissed the end of one of them. “I practised in the morning with the mirror, of course.” “And you surely licked it afterward?” “Exactly what I did.” His sarcasm have always made me laugh, so I couldn’t force myself into staying calm this time. After some more kissing and some more laughing we went on a walk around the park. Afterwards, Cass took me to some show, which I actaully don’t remember, because I am pretty sure I felt asleep on his shoulder with his smell deeply inhaled in my body, and taste still rolling on my lips. … I woke up next day in my bed in House of Wind, assuming Cassian brought me there. I got up and went to the kitchen, where everyone was already eating pancakes. I gave my friends a morning smile, which was probably some weird grimace, as Rhys grinned back. “Morning, Sleepyhead,” he said and I replied. At that time Cassian turned from the stove and found my gaze, his full of love. At this moment I knew my life will be amazing and full of love with these people in it.

Wedding Sabotage au Feat. Laurent and Nik teaming up
This is an outline of like????,,, one scene and yep lemme kno if u actaully would want this bc lmaoo......*wears sunglasses to hide the tears*
Auguste and Damen grew up together as friends and had brought the families together after a long time of low-key petty rivalry. Laurent grew up with Damen but was much younger than both Damen and Auguste. Damen had all the qualities of a hero from his books (that and he was *que 11 year old blushing smaurent* “super pretty”). Well this crush never went away, to Laurent’s dismay, because he knew Damen would always see him as a little kid.
Laurent was 19, turning 20, and finally going to try and tell Damen his feelings. To which gets stopped dead in his tracks when he comes home and Damen is there, sweetly tipsy with a beautiful blonde on his arm.
Laurent is very bitter, and after two years he is, how do you say, extremely bitter.
Laurent is at the engagement party for Damen and Jokaste.
He is standing next to Auguste, in a circle of party goers who are all celebrating and congratulating Damen
Laurent is in a particularly foul mood
Nikandros who is also in this small circle of “assholes” (as he would put it) he is also a very bitter best friend
Anyways Damen leaves to go find Jokaste (she walked away to talk to other guests or something) and he kisses Laurent on the cheek before leaving and drags Auguste with him
Laurent’s mood worsens,,,, he gotta fight w someone and Nik is the closest victim
Ahh Nik and Laurent what a relationship they have had
Nik has always been Damen’s like,, bff, and Laurent was more of a nuisance than anything
He was rude, uncaring of Nik, and would steal Damen away if given the opportunity. Nik knew he was a smart kid, but he was a snake
Laurent starts picking fights with Nik “Has Damen decided best man? I bet he has. It’s not you, his wedding needs to maintain sophistication and not have some poor, bankrupt businessman’s son represent the esteemed Theomedes name” or some rude bullshit like that
“Well I’ll just have to make sure you sit in the back Laurent, wouldn’t want a jealous, insecure child interrupting such an esteemed wedding”
A verbal (and very cruel) fight ensues
Laurent’s uncle comes up placing his hand on Laurent’s shoulder as is like “Laurent don’t make such a scene. These actions are why forming relationships with you is so difficult.” ((fuck the regent 5ever))
Laurent needs to breathe and heads to the restroom that’s in a separate hallway of Damen’s luxurious mansion
At the bathrooms he hears Jokaste and Kastor speaking in hushed tones so he creeps up to listen in and theyre standing very close
Staying stuff like “I know you’re upset, calm down, baby I’m handling this okay? This will work out if we stick with the plan and I marry Damen-” u kno crap like that and Laurent is like ‘this bitch wtf tryna fuck w my man aw hell nah’ but in a more laurent way
He’s actually really upset for Damen
He heads back to the party and is walking through the crowd, trying to find Damen
He gets turned around and is back where he came out that hallway and makes eye contact with Jokaste who was walking out with Kastor
His eyes narrow and Jokaste tries to keep her best poker face and goes over to talk to Laurent who is stiff
It’s one thing to fight with Nik, Damen knew they didn’t get along and he more saw it as harmless bickering, it was another to fight with Jokaste, and while Laurent had the tongue of a viper, Jokaste had the tongue of Laurent, but a mind similar to his Uncle’s (in the sense of control and manipulation) and she has six years of street smarts.
(I see Damen/Jokaste/Nik as all very street smart while Laurent is booksmart, which to me makes sense bc Laurent didn’t have a lot of social interaction when he was a teenager, besides manipulation and abuse)
But Damen appears out of nowhere, and Laurent can feel his heart hurt bc he spent 10 minutes looking for him, but when Jokaste appeared he was there, instantly, and Laurent couldn’t help but wonder what it was like to have someone like Damen love him. Being greeted with smiles and eyes full of love.
Now he was just pissed (both at Jokaste for ruining a good thing and at himself for having a dumb thought that anyone would love him even a fraction of what Damen felt for Jokaste)
Nik was at the lavish bar and his drink (a straight shot of Vodka) was set down, only to be lifted up and thrown back by Laurent who sat down
Que Nik’s super offended and annoyed with Laurent face (yes Laurent has earned his very own countenance on Nikandros’ face) (he’s almost proud)
“ You can’t hold your liquor, Laurent” “you can’t hold a relationship but I don’t say anything”
Anyways they start talking and slowly they both realize they don’t want Damen to marry Jokaste
“We break them up”
“You can’t be serious, Laurent”
“She isn’t good for him and we both know she’s fucking Kastor.”
“and Damen would never listen to us.”
Laurent nods and this “And he would never listen to us. Too blinded by loyalty and love. A dog won’t listen when you tell him to bite their owner even if their owner beats them.”
“Too loyal.” Laurent nods again at this and they’ve both relaxed together, probably for the first time forever. “I don’t want to hurt Damen. I just...want to protect him”
“Jokaste will hurt him.”
“So we’re forced to choose what kind of hurt he feels?”
“Not forced. We’re in the trolley dilemma. Let one person get hit or five?”
“Who does Damen represent? The one or the five?”
Laurent doesn’t have an answer for this. What he does know is that he needs to stop the wedding and end the engagement. But, he can’t do it alone, without Nikandros. (He could but the risk of failure or getting caught diminishes with Nikandros)
Laurent orders two shots, him and Nik hold them up to each other. A serious countenance on both their faces “To Damen,” Laurent says.
“To Damen,” and they hit their glasses together and throw back the vodka
Wedding Sabotage au---engagement party part 2ish??
Damen comes over, drunk and happy at the engagement party and drapes himself over Nik, making kissy faces, trying to kiss him because “c’mere Nikky I love you so much”
“Damen hi” Nikandros is tense and Laurent gives him the look, u kno the one that’s like ‘if you dont relax i’ll make u and it won’t be pleasant’
“I saw you guys throw some cheers and drink,” Damen is only slightly slurring, swaying, and doesn’t seem to want to go away anytime soon. “How could you without me?”
“We through cheers to you kiddo”
“To me?” Damen lets out a giggle along with a dopey grin. “You guys are,” Damen presses his face into Nik’s ((I have Nik and Damen headcanoned as affectionate in the same way that girls traditionally are)) “the greatest.”
Damen takes a breath and stares at Laurent while resting his face against Nikandros, who is holding him up and patting his shoulder
Laurent: “What, Damen?” his words are tense
“Nothing. I enjoy the feeling I get when I look at you”
Laurent’s brain is like: skjkdsfgjdfshbgdjvhdj,hbd
Sorry no, its more like: SJKSGDJHGHGJHGHFDHDJGDGHKDSJH
So he just doesn’t reply and turns away and Damen is just like “remember when you were a kid? Like seven, and you would beg for me to pick you up but once you were up you refused to be put back down?”
And laurent is like ‘oh my god are you really going to do this now??’ but he just looks back over at damen with furrowed eyebrows damen is just like
“You’re gonna find someone whose gonna want to pick you up and never put you down. Just like Auguste and I.”
And Laurent is now very done with life and getting hit w a bus doesnt seem all too bad so he goes to leave
But laurent is petty and lives for drama
So of course b4 he goes
He gracefully strides up to Nik and Damen, Damen smiles
Laurent grabs Nikandros’ face with one hand (Nik is wide eyed but cant do nothing cause his hands are full) and says seductively “My place at eight, tomorrow” and strides out of the mansion
As soon as he exits though he feels sick and hurt and wants to puke so he texts Auguste who comes out immediately “do you want me to stay home with you?” “No just drive me home and go back to the party. I need to be alone”
MEANWHILE lmao Damen is like “hahahaha thats *eye twitch* interesting ummm Nik???? That Laurent would say thay hahaa r u going on a date or soemthing?????”
And Nik is like “uuuuhhh maybe?” bc he is like ‘is this part of the plan or????’
Damen is NOT jealous
Except that he is and is no longer in the mood for cuddles
Damen “im not jealous but ummm, excuse me sweetie :) u cant date laurent”
Nik is just ????????
wants to go home he can’t handle these children and is very tired
