I think one thing I would change about the first season of Kösem is Katerina. Instead of writing her off, I would turn her into Gülbahar later. Gülbahar came out of nowhere at the end. I think having Katerina lingering around, always a thorn in Kösem’s side while behaving according to the rules, so everyone else thinks she is harmless, would have brought more to the character than someone we see for like three scenes and then suddenly is this massive character in the second season.

Thinking about Rudolf Klein-Rogge and his iconic portrayal as Dr. Mabuse in Dr. Mabuse, the Gambler. It was his first major leading role in a film and he absolutely slayed!

The Moon Gowns

So when I did the costumes I neglected the ones in the human realm, except for the black satin.

They're supposed to look and behave much more like real clothes than anything he wears in his own magical world, so I don't feel they do quite as much telling us about his state of mind.

But his clothes do express his identity: they say "I'm the Moon Lord", which I think is really sweet. I know "Moon" was the word they had to substitute for "Demon," for censorship reasons, but I like how they went with it. I call this outer layer the Half-Moon Gown, for reasons which will become clear: it's a gorgeous floral pattern in shades of silver grey.

In the lantern scene we can see undersleeves, which look as though they belong to the underlayer, but they might belong to the middle layer.

He wears the same middle and underlayer with another, pale silver gown which he only wears quite briefly in Espisode 25. The middle layer, with the loose round neckline (a style we don't see in the other worlds) is presumably the exact same shape as Xiao Run's, who is wearing his without a gown. I would have expected the sleeves of this layer to be visible in the lantern scene, but perhaps they're worn slightly shorter than the shirt's sleeves.

It's a very bright full Moon, here. He's looking magnificent, just as he does in the Chrysalis Gown, but perhaps that slightly reinforces our sense that he's also very upset and disoriented and not feeling quite in control of either himself or the situation, just as he is in the Chrysalis Gown.

We are starting to learn here that extra visual magnficence is how he compensates for being in pain and doubt - until he doesnt. And when we get there, perhaps it increases the impact of him not doing it any more.

In another scene we can see detail of the weave: it's a lovely swirly self-patterned damask in this pale grey.

This smooth silver seems to be a mirror of the textured black, also some sort of woven self-pattern but with a definite bobbliness to it, which he wore in Episode 21. Here, the glimpse of undersleeve pretty much has to belong to the white underlayer. And the braincell belongs to Shangque.

So he sort of goes from new Moon (black) through half Moon (lots of detail in various shades of grey) to full Moon (bright silver) in the time they spend - a couple of weeks? - in Lucheng.

But first, the no pressure tags! I'll be tagging @mary-is-writing, @winterandwords, @loopyhoopywrites, @emelkae, and open tag!

Now, onto Crying Wolf!

Justine protected a bad man. She did not want to but she had to. She had to protect a bad man to protect Theo. She had to protect him because she had gotten on the bad side of the “guards” in the Capital, they who guarded wealthy ganglords instead of the people.

“…sometimes i want to ask God how’d he create something so beautiful. something so magnficent and miraculous, all in one. in it’s self."

Touch me.

Paint stars over my skin until I'm lit as bright as the moon. Rub, hard; against what yearns for you. Penetrate deep to spark my soul. My body aches to feel sun. Warm my lips, make me flustered.

Fuck it. Persetan sama seluruh kalimat puitis di atas, gue cuma mau jujur bahwa lo seksi banget dengan seluruh otot yang lo punya; dengan berbagai tato yang gue rasa lo nggak paham segimana kasih dampak tolol ke gue. Lo seksi, Neil. Seksi yang nggak bisa gue temuin padanan katanya di KBBI.

Sebetulnya setiap kali lo buka baju di depan gue, apa lo pernah punya pikiran yang aneh-aneh juga kayak gue? Pikiran buat berbaring di atas ranjang yang sama, dengan lo di atas gue, dengan gue di bawah kungkungan lo. Apa lo pernah bayangin akan sebagaimana indahnya ketika seluruh semesta cuma dimiliki oleh kita berdua?

Anjing, capek gue punya pacar yang kerjaannya bikin gue ngerasa kayak anjing binal terus-terusan. F you, for real.

P.S : i still love you, always.

"Quibbles aside, In Giallo is one of the most striking collections of horror music in recent memory. Anyone into orchestral horror music, giallo soundtracks or film music in general needs this immediately. It’s also a comprehensive education in elegant, deft horror composition, making it a good introduction for someone looking to get into horror music more seriously. Either way, In Giallo should help cement Bruno Nicolai’s name alongside maestros like Ennio Morricone or John Carpenter."

STEVIE NICKS AND THE PRETENDERS SETLIST MOVIE

STEVIE NICKS AND THE PRETENDERS SETLIST FULL

STEVIE NICKS AND THE PRETENDERS SETLIST MAC

Stevie supported the release of her eighth solo album 24 Karat Gold: Songs from the Vault with a successful world tour.

STEVIE NICKS AND THE PRETENDERS SETLIST MOVIE

Come with me!Ģ4 Karat Gold The Concert will be in movie theaters exclusively on October 21 & 25. The 24 Karat Gold Tour was one of my favorite tours I’ve ever done.

STEVIE NICKS AND THE PRETENDERS SETLIST FULL

Stevie Nicks 24 Karat Gold The Concert is full of the magic that Stevie Nicks brings to her live performances and is an unforgettable experience that demands to be seen on the big screen!

STEVIE NICKS AND THE PRETENDERS SETLIST MAC

Widely considered one of the most important female voices in rock music with an unparalleled career, Stevie Nicks has had six Top Ten albums, 8 Grammy nominations and is the first woman to be twice inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame – with Fleetwood Mac in 1998 and as a solo artist in 2019. The film also highlights Stevie’s intuitive and intimate storytelling abilities, captivating audiences with personal stories behind some of the most famous songs in music history. Recorded over two nights during her sold-out 24 Karat Gold Tour, the film features a set-list of fan favorites and rare gems from Stevie’s multi-platinum selling catalog. Rock & Roll Hall of Fame icon Stevie Nicks brings her legendary music to the big screen when Stevie Nicks 24 Karat Gold The Concert comes to select cinemas for two nights only on October 21 & 25. Sorry this isn't more detailed I guess I thought the 2011 show was better.Stevie Nicks 24 Karat Gold -The Concert film will screen exclusively at independent theaters on October 21 and 25. But I don't think I would pay that sort of money for anyone again, except for Mark KNopfler, and I think if he comes back he would play a bigger venue. I also wasn't in the first four rows as I had thought I would be, but just behind. It was nice being able to stand around & have a few drinks for free, but it meant I never got near the merchandise. I paid a lot of money for the hospitality package for which I got a laminate & a drinks holder, which I then lost. She told one story she said she'd never told an audience before, and of course now I don't remember what it was. While her stories were interesting, you don't remember them afterwards. My only complaint was that she talked far too much. I wonder if this is the same Marilyn Martin who duetted with Phil Collins on Separate Lives? I had to leave when the encore started so I missed Landslide, unfortunately.Īn interesting snippet is that one of the backing singers, Lori, couldn't make it, so was replaced with a woman Stevie referred to as Marilyn Martin. But for me the absolute standout was the magnficent Gold Dust Woman, a song I can never hear enough. Obviously Stop Draggin' My Heart Around with Chrissie was a high point, as was Edge Of Seventeen. Stand Back was dedicated to Prince I had no idea he played on the song. I was pleased to hear Outside The Rain, Bella Donna & The Wild Heart & it was certainly interesting to hear a Buckingham Nicks song (Crying In The Night). Kudos to her for doing some deep cuts, most of which I didn't know. This is Stevie's setlist (I assume Adelaide was the same as Sydney which hasn't been added yet: Great to hear Thumbelina & Middle Of The Road from Learning to Crawl, and Hymn To Her which is a superb song. Chrissie Hynde still has an amazing voice. Well, I had a good time, but I honestly think the Pretenders stole the show.

Chrysalis Gown

I think this first appears in Episode 14. It's in-between some scenes with the Honey-coloured gown, during the early process of transformation. This one seems to be for more formal, business occasions.

We get a well-lit view of the absolute bunfight of colours and patterns going on here. The shirt is particoloured, in red and green, both woven with gold in identical patterns, and cut and pieced together in this high, tight, stiff collar.

It bothered me that the patterns don't fit together at the neck at all well. I felt like something this magnificent should be pattern-matched more harmoniously than it is, with that seam between red and green in such a prominent place at least trying to look more symmetrical. The outer gown looks green here, with a sort of damask needlecord texture. In most shots it looks black.

The outfit returns in Episode 26, by which time we know that the consequences of the transformation have hit. We get a nice view of the structure here. The visible parts are the undershirt or tunic (actually two different ones), a very full pleated skirt, a splendidly gold-patterned wrap-around robe that's very tightly fitted to the waist and emphasised with a belt, and then this spectacular gown that might be green or black, with the giant explosions of gold embroidery. And an asymmetrical gold crown.

It's his most magnficent outfit, far more visually intimidating than the black-and-gold fighting gown he wore in Episode 9, and he wears this repeatedly when he knows his actual power is severely weakened.

The gold edges of the gown seem to be made of thousands of tiny sequins, and they're not just gold, there are hints of green to give it depth - and the gold extends beyond the pattern, like dust.

There are actually two different shirts. The red-and-green one in Episodes 14 and 27, and this black-and-gold one in Episode 26 which is a different colour of the same pattern, with no red-and-green pieces, less tightly fitted to the neck, and pieced differently. You can see almost all of the V shape and the little plant shape in the lower part of the pattern, which you can't in the red-and-green.

I think this is an error, because the next scene is supposed to be a direct continuation of the scene above, but we go back to red-and-green. You have to look hard to notice it though.

The texture of the gold on the gown is amazing. The effect in a shot like this is to make the hands look incredibly delicate and insubstantial.

He wears this outfit, with the red-and-green, for the qin duet with absolute madlad Changheng in Episode 27. And to fidget huffily and keep quiet while XLH dumps Changheng immediately after.

This is the scene where I reflected that if he was going to kill anyone, he'd be wearing the Hunting Dress. So this is what he wears when he wants to intimidate, and would probably prefer deadly violence if it were up to him, but can't or won't actually do anything but glare.

What a wonderful look for going on a date and being horribly, horribly embarrassed about it. Look at the gold on the inside of the sleeves! The sleeves of the outer gown seem to be lined with gold.

And the confession to Xunfeng.

At the end of Episode 28, he wears this to experiment with stubborn self-destruction:

And it stays with us through the whump scene, during which the crown symbolically falls off, and we get a good look at the texture. Like all his crowns and armour, it looks like something that grew on a tree, possibly as a result of insect attack. It's much prettier than the ones the fairy tribe wear. I'd like to know how this was made.

then the triumph:

And the disaster. Where we glimpse how heavily patterned the train is. The pattern makes it look as though it belongs to the robe underneath, but it's hanging straight from the shoulders, and we saw the robe has a belt, so I don't quite understand the structure here.

I call this this Chrysalis gown because it reminds me of the splendid protective costumes that certain butterflies and moths put on while they are tearing themselves apart and remaking themselves into a totally different shape.

Which seems to be the point, so perhaps the rather eye-watering pattern bunfight and the way none of the patterns fit together at the neck, are exactly as they should be.

This is Stevie's setlist (I assume Adelaide was the same as Sydney which hasn't been added yet: Great to hear Thumbelina & Middle Of The Road from Learning to Crawl, and Hymn To Her which is a superb song. Chrissie Hynde still has an amazing voice. Well, I had a good time, but I honestly think the Pretenders stole the show.
