working on choreography is fun, for the most part. jay didn't do enough of that in the previous mission, as much as he wanted to. then again, there was already so much going on with the concept they had, putting too much into the choreography might've been overkill. this time around though, his new team agreed on a dance break as their intro. he thinks it fits the theme, as long as they keep the choreography fun and... bouncy, for a lack of a better term.
another thing that's funny is being put in the same team as someone who was technically his opponent in the episode prior, like @bexstevie. jay isn't bitter—not really—because his team got compliments too, but still. he isn't one to dimiss someone else's talents when it's right there in front of his face. stevie is good at what he does, a capable dancer too.
"so the point of this dance break is to highlight jiayi as the one everyone has a crush on, right?" he starts, recalling their discussion when brainstorming for the concept. "i'm guessing she'll take the center spot during the introduction, then? that'd make the most sense. like we're introducing her to the audience."

Spark Plug
written for the August @steddiemicrofic prompt 'plug' !
wc: 437 | rated: M | cw: none | tags: Female steddie, modern au, chubby Steve Harrington, mechanic Eddie Munson
⋆ ˚。⋆౨ৎ˚
Eddie bursts into their apartment, already starting her rant as she kicks her work boots off. ‘That annoying fuckin’ spark plug still hasn’t come for the Sedan!’ She stomps through to dump her lunchbox in the sink. 
‘And the customer insisted I put him on hold so he could talk to Jack. Can’t believe UPS is shitty if I say it, but if another dick swinger comes on and does it’s all - oh I know! What has the county come too! Fuckin’ prick.’ Eddie’s rant ends and her feet have taken her through to the couch, where Stevie is splayed out. 
Splayed out with a bowl of popcorn on her belly, in her little bicycle shorts and sports bra, which means she must’ve taken a walk around the block. And Eddie curses mentally for having missed it - always relishing in holding her girlfriend’s hand, taking little side on glances to watch her chest move while she walks.
‘That’s so shit babe.’ Stevie says, half earnest pout, half distracted, and Eddie watches as her eyes trail down, taking in the overalls and white, oil stained vest that she always comes home in. Eddie smirks. 
‘Yeah.’ Eddie sighs, resting a ringed hand on the knotted sleeves by her crotch. ‘Enough about that though, what’re you up to princess?’ And Eddie’s smirk grows - Stevie’s eyes on her fingers, swallowing thickly. 
‘Watching House.’ She replies eventually and Eddie hums for her to keep going as she walks away. ‘Guess how many laws he broke last ep.’
‘I don’t know sweetheart.’ Eddie calls, drinking a glass of water and washing the grease from her fingers. 
‘Like 4!’ Stevie says, giggling. 
Eddie laughs and plops down on the couch, stealing a handful of popcorn and taking in her pretty girlfriend. She’s soft and round in so many places it makes some slightly feral part of Eddie want breed her (and they have their strap, they could play pretend.) So Eddie can’t help trailing a finger over tanned thighs, snapping the material of her shorts. Moving higher and pressing her fingers into the little roll they make at Stevie’s waist. She pulls at them, Stevie gasping slightly as Eddie tugs the shorts down across her ass, manoeuvring them until her thighs are trapped together, her knees bent. 
Eddie strokes her fingers over the course hair of Stevie’s pubes, seeking out the wetness she knows she’ll find. Her fingers and hands are thick and strong from manual labour, from messing around with cars all day every day. They’re so perfect for filling her baby up, stretching her out. 
‘Oh, fuck.’ Stevie whimpers.

Autistic Eddie
Disclaimer: these are just headcanons, obviously every autistic individual is different. Also, if you're an ableist just go away, this is obviously not for you
Main Masterlist
Eddie Masterlist
- Hates change of plans - for proof you have season 4 ep 1 when Dustin tells him to postpone Hellfire club.
- He's weird, he knows it and doesn't give a f about it - doesn't care about not fitting in and takes pride in not fitting in.
- Completely shocked about Steve not fitting into the stereotype that he was taught about jocks and popular people at school.
- Applies his interests (dnd, Lord of the rings) to make decisions or comprehend reality (that's so relatable tbh)
- Avoid eye contact in most situations, especially if he's sad or upset about something, like when they found him at the boat house
- Doesn't know what personal space is (him walking with Steve in the Upside Down)
- Compliments based on special interests and will get super excited when he talks about it
- Doesn't respond to his name right away and takes a bit more time to process sounds, like when Stevie was calling him while walking through the forest in the Upside Down
- Has safe foods, like what he asked Nance and the rest to bring to him
- Has a hard time processing emotions, especially frustration
- Struggles with school but he's very intelligent in other ways, I also have this hc that he purposely fails the same course over and over because he's scared of stepping into the real world, but that might just be me.
- Sometimes, when talking to other people he knows that something's wrong but he doesn't know what to do like at all.
- Hates being touched without a warning. That's why I hate the hc where people say that he will let you touch his hair while dating or even as friends, my guy doesn't like to be touched, nope, not at all. And he will let you for a very very short period of time if he trusts you
- Happiest around his special interests, aka playing with his band and dnd.
- Very protective over his interests
- He stims all the time, usually touching his hair r his face, seriously, just watch his scenes, come back and tell me i'm right
- Can't stay still

top 5 in9 eps? :3
5. How Do You Plead?
Urban is one of my favourite in9 characters. I’m really empathetic towards him and the character he plays for his patients, and the reasons why he does it. I’m also just such a sucker for religious imagery, depictions of the devil and the classic tale of selling your soul. The atmosphere of the episode just generally really appeals to me. The gradual dimming of the lights into this green-blue darkness is just brilliant, and when Urban and Webster swap places in the lift the fluidity of that movement just itches my brain. And of course, the monologues! Love this episode!
4. Tom & Gerri
Migg is one of the scariest in9 characters to me. Steve’s performance is just so…chilling. Like Urban, Tom is another character I feel like I just get. I’ll get into it in a moment when I start talking about Diddle Diddle Dumpling, but I just am really impacted by depictions of grief and mental illness in media. Tom is one of my favourite Reece in9 performances, I just really feel for him. Also, I love Stevie’s character.
3. Cold Comfort
I love how uncomfortable this entire episode is. The camera never moves, never looks away, and in turn the viewer has to sit there and watch just as Andy has to sit there and listen. It feels hopeless. Andy is one of my favourite Steve performances + characters. All of the characters in this episode are on top of each other in this awful, cramped, emotionally charged space, yet they’re all completely disconnected and alien to one another. The only character who you feel understands the others is George, and George is…George. I’m a sucker for ambiguity and there is so much to rifle through and ponder about in this episode. Plus the sound design is so good at matching that horrible, invasive atmosphere.
2. Diddle Diddle Dumpling
I love the mise-en-scène for this episode; that sanitised, shining-esque mirroring throughout the whole house just suggests so much of what is left unsaid about David and Louise’s grief. And I do really like how little is actually said about Joseph in this episode. I’m always really invested in media where an object is so clearly representative of something else, especially when that something else is a loss or an absence of sorts. David is a very relatable character to me and I just feel so strongly for both him and Louise. What a devastating episode.
1. Wise Owl
No surprises here I don’t think! Wise Owl was the first in9 episode I ever watched, and it’s stayed my favourite unwaveringly throughout me watching the entire show. I’ve had an anxious obsession with Public Information Films ever since I was a kid - especially the fire safety ones - so having an episode modelled around them is just a narrative decision that gets me invested from the get-go. I think this episode has an entirely different feeling to it compared to the rest of the show, and I’m so happy they went with the ending that they did and I’m so happy with how Ronnie was written and performed - especially when I think about how easily they could’ve gone down a different route. Also there’s no competition in my mind for the best in9 episode ending. Such an important episode.

ᴀʙᴏᴜᴛ ᴍᴇ ɪɴ ᴛʜɪꜱ ᴅʀ: my name is tara smith, but i'm known as 'azrael'. in 2016 with my friends, kitty and jj formed a band we called 'utopia' and we started on youtube and soundcloud by doing covers, and when we got more popular, we made our first original song. it was called "SOS" and it went viral on soundcloud and very popular on youtube. we got recognision, and it opened the door to music industry.
ᴍʏ ꜰʀɪᴇɴᴅꜱ ɪɴ ᴛʜɪꜱ ᴅʀ: kitty (lily buckley), jj (jack hart), billie eilish, willow smith, conan grey, harry styles and a lot of more!
ꜱ/ᴏ: billie eilish
ᴅɪꜱᴄᴏɢʀᴀᴘʜʏ: we debuted with an ep called "CANNIBAL" as we watched "the show"Hannibal" while writing and it was a huge inspo for this ep. it was also a success, we went on small tour in venues. first in america, then in europe.
⍣ ೋ we went super popular after we released our first single from our first album called "LOST IN OUR PAST" (2019). it was a huge success. album was full of 70s beats, vocals, etc. we were nominated for multiple awards and won all of them. we became one of the most successful artist of the year, and later even in decade. Our tour sold out in few minutes, and so that's how we did our first world tour. we performed at grammys, the biggest festivals like coachella etc. we won grammys for best album, best group, best group performance, best single & song of the year. we weren't ready for this kind of success, critics after all called this album a "renaissance of 70s music" we became pioneers of group music then, we mixed modern pop, 70s & 80s. we did covers of old songs, and on our tour performed with multiple artists, like tears for fears or stevie nicks. at the time me and kitty got together.
⍣ ೋ after the success, we had multiple fights in the band, but we were still making music together. I started to make solo music, but only for fun. we got to work with conan grey, and we made a song "killing me”. in 2021 our band needed to split up, as jj decided to left.
⍣ ೋ it was a huge case, fans protested, wanted to know what happened, but we decided to stay quiet. everything was clear, jj wanted something else from life. he started to work as a "ghost writer"
⍣ ೋ after band has split up, i called my managment that i want to release solo music. i didn't want to give up on music because of this situation. week after official announcement from band, i posted info about my first single of my solo album "GLOBAL DRUGS"
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
it was a huge success, i didn't think that i would go on world tour and sing in stadiums again. i brought kitty with me.
some of fans favourites
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
⍣ ೋ in december 2022 after i finished tour and came back to u.s., my agent called me that he wants to meet me and kitty. we met 2 days later in new york, in a studio we recorded first ep as "utopia". when we came in, first thing we saw was jj talking to some people in the studio. well, we were so back.
⍣ ೋ in march 2023 out of nowhere we dropped our second album called "WE ARE STILL HERE" and people went CRAZYYY. we had no idea how this album is gonna shake the whole internet and critics. it was completely new - it was jazz, 70s, soul, r&b. something that people claimed we didn't fit. but here we are :)))
⍣ ೋ in may 2023 i attended my first ever met gala, and there, in an interview i confirmed that this was the last project of ‘utopia’ for now. i said “we disappeared out of nowhere and left you all without any information. this is something like a goodbye, but we do not confirm that it will last forever. it depends on our feelings.” i also confirmed that i will release music as solo artist and that kitty will join me as a drummer
⍣ ೋ in may 2023 a week after met gala, i showed the world my summer tour, and except the festivals of course, there were 4 stadium concerts, “bonus” ones, only in europe. Paris, Barcelona, Berlin and final one in London. that’s the time when me and kitty broke up, after, as media called it “London accident”. (there will be another post about it, but basically kitty got herself into alcohol and drugs, and during the London show for almost 2 hours we couldn’t find her, and when my team finally found her, she was completely not contacting with the world around her, and it was not the first time.she couldn’t perform and i didn’t want to cancel the show)
⍣ ೋ in september 2023 i started dating harry styles, but only to january 2024 - we realised that we would love be each other besties than lovers 🤭 (bc in this dr he is a little younger and one direction split up later than in cr, his album “Fine Line” was released in 2024, and “Harry’s House” in late 2025)
⍣ ೋ in january 2024 i confirmed my second solo album, that will release 15/03 🫶
⍣ ೋ after release of this album, me and billie were spotted in public, spreading dating rumours, which we confirmed some months later

Favourite CID Era
S4-6 also includes Don't Like Monday (Tosh's family at the bank) and Ted and Roxanne's first appearance together as officer/snout
Series 7-9 inc Viv's death, Dashers guesting after leaving, Frank disappearing without warning for a mystery job and Harry Haines arriving. Danny Pearce, Jo Morgan and Alan Woods also arrive. Jo is promoted to DS after a few eps. Jack is demoted to DCI and returns as a regular rather than guesting as part of AMIP.
Series 10-13 includes Rod being rather chauvinistic to poor Suzi who becomes CID in this series. Jo returns for a guest period and is about to move back permanently before.. ahem. The Target trilogy are a particular work of art in series 11. Don arrives in series 11 when Deakin is promoted to DI after Sally goes. John Boulton arrives not long after too and finally in series 12 Geoff and Liz arrive and Alan goes and Tom Proctor brings up the rear in S13. There is a lot of Alistair and Suzi fun however as she gently teases him throughout.
Series 14-16 brings Duncan and Kerry Holmes with Tosh leaving through sad real-life happenings and Alistair transferring as does Suzi. Series 15 brings Danny Glaze and Claire Stanton as an undercover CIB agent trying to catch Don. She doesn't expect to fall in love with another CID member, however. Unfortunately, we do lose Liz in 15 but she does pop back a few times. Series 16 is a BIG CID-focused series. Rod jumps before he's pushed and the truth about Don comes out after he and John have a fight. We lose John, Don, Kerry, Claire, Geoff, Deakin, Tom, and Tom. We gain Paul Riley, Kate Spears, Vik Singh, Alex Cullen, and Debbie McAllister. A somewhat unfair exchange. Saving the best until last however for series 16 as Mickey also arrives and is at his cheeky scamp best.
Series 17-18 Near the end of series 16 we got a whole new bunch of CID after a mass exodus due to Don being revealed as a dodgy officer. To give them a chance to bed in properly, there were no cast changes to CID in series 17. The new lot featured heavily, Mickey went undercover as a rentboy for a bit and then as a football hooligan. Debbie's snout was her lover and there was quite hoo hah about him, There's a couple of guest appearances from Liz, one of which is a multi-parter that terrifies Kate Spears, Claire follows Don over to Australia to tr catch him and bring him to justice. In series 18 we lose Vik, Paul, Kate and Alex Cullen but gain Eva, Ken Drummond, Phil Hunter, Sam Nixon and Brandon. Series 18 is also the beginning of the numbered episodes and Paul Marquess...
Series 19-21: we gain Juliet for a short time before Rae gets fed up of the sexualised bisexual obsession for her storylines and we also end up with sexist arse, Rob Thatcher whilst losing Duncan, Danny and it's the first exit of Mickey too post-rape and the death of his mother over to MIT. It's not all bad, we also get Terry, Ramani and Neil. In series 20 we lose Rob when he finishes his vengeance against The Radfords by murdering Irene and being shot by CO19. We also lose Debbie and Brandon and Eva transferred to MIT. We gain Suzie in return, however. Series 21 we lose Ken in an explosion and Jim walks away after losing June and Ken. Gary who has been playing in CID for a little while gets short and transfers to the Manchester police. Jo arrives and Mickey returns from MIT. There's a mysterious newbie when Adi Mateen pretending Zain also arrives when it turns out that he's not the annoying gangster that's been buzzing round Sun Hill but has been undercover!
Series 22-24 - In series 22 we lose Ramani and Suzie, however, we gain Stuart and Kezia. THISISNOTAFAIRSWAP. Ahem. In series 23 we gain Grace and also Max at the very very end, Zain reaches the end of his tenure after being drawn to the dark side with Kristen and Phil transfers out rather suddenly as Scott appears to have jumped very quickly over to EastEnders. Series 24 welcomes Stevie and Banksy and we don't lose anyone!
Series 25-26 - I ummed and ahhed about making the last series a stand-alone selection on its own because it's a reboot but given it's only essentially half a year long and that the character changes happen in series 25 I put the two together. So, in this series we lose Jack as DCI because he becomes Superintendent. However we don't gain a new DCI, Neil just remains DI and does both jobs. Jo gets promoted but moves to uniform. Sam, Stuart and Kezia go (Could not have taken Sam being promoted to DCI!) and no one else leaves (other than Will) from CID until the very end. We have Mickey undercover as a homeless man, Max's drug problem and Mickey and Terry confronting him. Grace and Neil get together but Neil's son is diagnosed with cancer and so much more. Finally the entire station works together to nail the rapists of poor Jasmine (Respect 1-2)!
(Yep you guessed it, I meant to post this in the sierra-Oscar comm but got distracted.)

New Bern, NC — VoicePlay live performances
Even as they were swiftly approaching the completion of nearly 100 shows at Disney World for the season, VoicePlay popped up to North Carolina for a full holiday concert on the weekend before Christmas.
.
youtube
With the amount of travel Americans tend to do between Thanksgiving and Christmas, this comedic medley is extra relatable during the holiday season. If only all of our family sing-a-longs sounded this good.
Details:
title: Road Trip
original songs / performers: [1:27] "Tiptoe Through the Tulips" by Tiny Tim; [1:45] "Orinoco Flow" by Enya; [2:03] "Cum On Feel the Noize" by Quiet Riot; [3:12] "Big Shot" by Billy Joel; [3:25] "I Wanna Rock" by Twisted Sister; [3:34] "Voices Carry" by ’Til Tuesday; [3:52] "Shout" by Tears For Fears; [4:07] "Why Can't We Be Friends?" by War; [4:17] "That Smell" by Lynyrd Skynyrd; [5:00] "Hard to Say I'm Sorry" by Chicago; [6:25] "We Just Disagree" by Dave Mason; [6:45] "Hello" by Adelle
written by: "Tiptoe Through the Tulips" by Al Dubin & Joe Burke; "Orinoco Flow" by Eithne "Enya" Pádraigín Ní Bhraonáin & Roma Ryan; "Cum On Feel the Noize" by Noddy Holder & Jim Lea; "Big Shot" by Billy Joel; "I Wanna Rock" by Dee Snider; "Voices Carry" by Robert Holmes, Aimee Mann, Michael Hausman, & Joey Pesce; "Shout" by Roland Orzabal & Ian Stanley; "Why Can't We Be Friends?" by Papa Dee Allen, Harold Ray Brown, B.B. Dickerson, Lonnie Jordan, Charles Miller, Lee Oskar, Howard E. Scott, & Jerry Goldstein; "That Smell" by Allen Collins & Ronnie Van Zant; "Hard to Say I'm Sorry" by Peter Cetera & David Foster; "Hello" by Adele Adkins & Greg Kurstin
arranged by: Geoff Castellucci
performance date: 20 December 2015
My favorite bits:
Eli starting to doze off and tip over until he's startled awake by Earl's yelp
Tony using his flowy jacket as a blanket
sleepy Geoff rubbing his eyes as he's rudely awakened by the bickering
Earl's little bunny nose sniffing
the exchange of annoyed watch tapping
Layne almost getting Eli to break with the different interruption
Trivia:
VoicePlay made a professionally filmed version of this medley / skit during the 2014 Sing-Off tour.
Layne usually interrupts with "Royals" by Lorde, but sometimes changes it up, as he does here, to try to make the other guys laugh.
.
youtube
These guys love The Nightmare Before Christmas, and have recorded several songs from its fantastic soundtrack. But this was the first one to join their live show repertoire.
Details:
title: What's This?
original performers: Danny Elfman as Jack Skellington in The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993)
written by: Danny Elfman
arranged by: Layne Stein
performance date: 20 December 2015
My favorite bits:
those lovely opening harmonies
Tony excitedly getting in everybody's personal space
the alternating pliés and relevés to emulate the carolers' vehicle in the movie
♫ "I might possibly go daffy…" ♫ followed by Layne putting a quack in his percussion line
slo-mo snowball fight!
♫ "cozy in their dre-eam ⇓ laaand ⇓" ♫ "That was weird." "Sorry."
their monster walks as they regroup
that sharp, clean final chord
Trivia:
This song was a staple of their holiday shows for many years, particularly during their Disney World residencies for Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party.
They finally recorded it with J.None for their 2017 holiday EP "Warm Up", and filmed a video to go with it that they released at Halloween of that year.
.
youtube
This bouncy tune is a great way to get an audience dancing in their seats, and VoicePlay alway performs it with gusto. Meet the guys, and hear a little of what they can do.
Details:
title: For Once In My Life
original performer: Stevie Wonder
written by: Ron Miller & Orlando Murden
arranged by: VoicePlay
performance date: 20 December 2015
My favorite bits:
Earl and Tony starting to step-touch together, then just giving in to the groove
everyone else cutting out for Eli's ♫ "won't desert me-e-e" ♫ riff then coming back in behind ♫ "I'm not alone anymore" ♫
everyone getting a moment in the spotlight for an introduction
those jazzy scatting lines leading into the key change
and a lovely ending chord
Trivia:
This song had been part of their live shows since their 4:2:Five days. The earliest clip I've found is from a performance in 2011 when their friend Jarrett Johnson subbed for Ryan.
.
youtube
Listening to this song is certainly a treat, but watching them perform it is at least half the fun. Sometimes friends being a little competitive makes them all better.
Details:
title: Elvira
original performers: The Oak Ridge Boys
written by: Dallas Frazier
arranged by: Geoff Castellucci
performance date: 20 December 2015
My favorite bits:
Tony startling Earl by skittering his fingertips down the back of his head
troublemaker Eli encouraging Earl to take center stage
that glorious pop timbre in Tony's solo
Geoff reclaiming the spotlight with that extra deep ♫ "mow mow" ♫
the "Earl can go low, too" gag is never not funny
the other guys' expectant expressions in the back during the tense final confrontation
and that big ending is always fantastic
Trivia:
This number was a longtime fan favorite staple in their live shows, including the 2015 Sing-Off tour.
Because the visual component of this performance is such an interaction with the audience, they have never filmed a video for it, but there is an audio recording available through their Patreon.
Geoff also helped arrange the version that their pals in Home Free recorded with The Oak Ridge Boys earlier in the year.
.
youtube
Anyone who grew up watching the Rankin-Bass stop-motion animated holiday specials knows these songs. But most people have never heard them quite like this.
Details:
title: Frosty the Snowman & Santa Claus Is Coming To Town
original songs / performers: "Frosty the Snowman" by Gene Autry; "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town" by Eddie Cantor
written by: "Frosty the Snowman" by Walter "Jack" Rollins & Steve Nelson; "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town" by J. Fred Coots & Haven Gillespie
arranged by: VoicePlay
performance date: 20 December 2015
My favorite bits:
Layne letting his inner kid out during the intro banter
Eli's smooth delivery on the opening lines
the harmonic stacking in ♫ "when they placed it on his head" ♫
those syncopated backing vocals during Earl's "Santa Claus" verse
Eli flailing in the back when the other guys start rapping
that crunchy ending section
Trivia:
The boys started performing this mashup during their 4:2:Five days. The earliest recording I've found is from their stint as castmembers in the Polar Express Conductors holiday show at SeaWorld in 2011. (Go hear Layne sing bass!)
It was a staple of VoicePlay's holiday shows for many years, particularly during their Disney World residencies for Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party.
They recorded a swingier version of "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town" with their friend Michael Andrew for their 2012 holiday album "Peppermint Winter".
.
youtube
It can be easy to overlook even the most talented vocal percussionist in an audio mix. Your ears forget that all those beats are coming out of a human body. But those skills are undeniable when he's the only one on stage.
Details:
title: Layne's drum solo
written & arranged by: Layne Stein
performance date: 20 December 2015
My favorite bits:
that initial deep kick
the random squawk
dropping into a half-time groove before transitioning into a more electronic section
♫ "Ding!" ♫
and the big finish
Trivia:
Percussion solos are a time honored tradition among modern a cappella groups. It can also be fun to hear beatboxers' differing styles when they team up as they did during the 2014 and 2015 Sing-Off tours.
When Layne started up again at the end, he was transitioning them into the start of "A Crimpella".

VoicePlay don't just have one crowd-pleasing medley of phonations. They've also got a holiday version. There really are a lot of unusual lyrics in Christmas carols, and these guys make them incredibly fun.
(I think I caught everything, but if I missed a song, please let me know so I can track it down and add it to the list.)
Details:

performance date: 20 December 2015
My favorite bits:
Tony's little salsa groove as the beat kicks in
the adorable swaying choreography during "Welcome Christmas"
some Hannukah representation for the two Jewish band members
Geoff's robust "ho ho ho" 🎅
Earl's wonderful braying for "Dominick the Donkey"
Eli's exaggerated air bass at the start of "Sugar Plum"
that final descending drum fill from Layne
Trivia:
This medley also dates back to their 4:2:Five era and the SeaWorld Polar Express Conductors show. (Go hear Geoff beatbox!)
It was a staple of VoicePlay's holiday shows for many years, particularly during their Disney World residencies for Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party.

Hi Em! I haven’t had a lot of eggnog but I have fairly decent memories of it. However I was thinking of picking some up at the store a few weeks back so now I’ll have to give it another shot! Also I would definitely want reputation merch too: I dream of the snake ring and the end game peach hoodie.
For today, fun little game idea: if you had to make a christmas ep with five of your favorite (or most tolerated) holiday songs and five favorite artists to cover them, which songs would you match with which artists? As an example, here’s what I’d do:
1. Last Christmas - Rina Sawayama (she’d absolutely sell this)
2. Sleigh Ride - boygenius (I can’t explain this one but it’d be so sweet)
3. Silent Night - Stevie Nicks (just came to me but I need it now)
4. Rockin Around the Christmas Tree - Beyoncé! (I feel like her riffs would be awesome)
5. All I Want for Christmas is You - Taylor (obviously she is not making a Mariah remake but I think she could put a really warm country spin on this! Imagine the earnestness of Timeless/Emma Falls in Love and the sounds of Debut)
This is a long one but I’d love to see what you come up with. And I hope you had a nice day! — your secret santa, ☃️
hi secret santa bestie!!! I much prefer vegan nog to the real thing also works better in frosting in my opinion and I can add some (vegan) milk to cut it so it's not so thick (I don't do that for frosting just when I drink it) it's a fun time. also saur true endgame peach hoodie u are so so so missed but I think I'd wear the black one more u know? but that's just me ur so valid for the endgame peach hoodie I hope u get it some day!!! also same re snake ring such an iconic piece of merch!!
this is such an interesting game hmmm....
I think that sabrina carpenter would absolutely feast covering all santa tell me so that would be fun!!
I think olivia rodrigo would so such a fun rock version of rockin around the christmas tree but I do agree that beyoncé would Kill rockin around the christmas tree I just think w olivia's rock sound a la all american bitch it would go so hard for her u know???
I think that stephen sanchez could do a pretty rockin little saint nick a la his song shake. that would be fun. or he could do a super croony version of it's beginning to look a lot like christmas and I'd love that also!!!!
idk why I put him at fourth this out of order bc it is in the order I am thinking of them noah kahan should absolutely cover glittery by kacey musgraves he'd kill it so hard.
taylor should cover the jo bro's like it's christmas just to take it from joe but also she'd have such a fun time w it I think and then I could replace that version on my playlist with hers skdjgdkjgh
bonus song even tho it just came out conan gray could feast singing buy me presents by sabrina carpenter or cindy lou who!!!
this was a fun game!!!! and I hope u had a good day and u get some nog soon!!! u can always just get one cup without any other milk at starbucks and make sure u like it before u invest in a pint. my struggle is no one else in my house likes it like I wish I could get two chocolate milk box containers full and not a full pint bc I always have too much left 😭but I also need the nog this time of year 😭 anyways I hope u get some soon!!! sorry I responded to this so late bestie <3

A Very Clelia Christmas
whether you celebrate the traditional meaning of Christmas or not, this holiday is a beautiful day to get comfy and spread some cheer. Here are some of my favorite ways to get in the holiday spirit.
music
A festive holiday for me starts with the perfect soundtrack. Here are some of my fav songs and albums for this joyful day:
1 ✩ Last Christmas by Wham!
2 ✩ Lights On (feat. Ryan Beatty & Santigold) by Tyler the Creator
3 ✩ The Nutcracker, Op 71: XVa. Pas de deux - Intrada (Andante maestoso) by Tchaikovsky
4 ✩ Please Come Home for Christmas by Eagles
5 ✩ What Christmas Means To Me by Stevie Wonder
6 ✩ Away in a Manger by Nat "King" Cole
7 ✩ What Child Is This? (feat. Mary J. Blige) by Andrea Bocelli
8 ✩ Oh Santa! by Mariah Carey
9 ✩ Christmas Waltz by Kaskade & Laken Lambson
10 ✩ DJ Play a Christmas Song by Cher
11 ✩ Wrap Me Up by Jhene Aiko
12 ✩ Only You (with James Corden) by Kylie Minogue
13 ✩ Christmas Eve by Justin Bieber
14 ✩ Wish by horsegiirl_
15 ✩ Winter Things by Ariana Grande
highlights
Kaskade does Christmas right on his albums, Kaskade Christmas and Kaskade Christmas Volume 2. He manages to capture both the euphoric and somber sides of the holiday season, packaged in ambient, layered pieces that easily evoke feelings of nostalgia or lust for a life not yet lived. Dreamy and magical, his music transports you to an imagined place where glistening snow and children's laughter fill the air.
Tyler, The Creator offers a light-hearted, upbeat, modern set of songs that reflect his playful energy on his Grinch-inspired album. He perfectly encapsulates the joyful, wondrous feeling of waking up on Christmas morning to surprises under the tree - or at the door.
The music from the iconic Christmas ballet, The Nutcracker (composed by Tchaikovsky), adds a touch of whimsy to the holiday, allowing one to dream up a fantasy land of princes and sugar plum fairies engaged in a beautiful waltz. Classical, comforting, and harmonic - what could make a cozier Christmas?
Ariana Grande adds a sultry, soulful vibe with her EP Christmas & Chill, full of original holiday tracks. Perfect for staying in and cuddling up to your special someone, Ari wraps us up in romance and breathes new life into the holiday genre.
movies
Cozy up on the couch with these lovely Christmas stories:
✩ Falling for Christmas
✩ Love Actually
✩ Barbie in The Nutcracker
✩ Elf
✩ Home Alone
✩ The Nightmare Before Christmas
activities & extras
Tis the season to give and receive. Gifts are great - who doesn't love to receive a tangible expression of how cared for they are? However, the greatest gift you could give your loved ones is your presence and love. Make this a time to hold space, for yourself and others. Visualize sending out the energy of joy, love, and comfort to all beings. For those struggling or feeling alone this Christmas, know you are loved. Show yourself love and care by being present, and consider making this a day to pamper yourself the way you deserve!
✩ look at lights
✩ check in with your loved ones
✩ cook up a delicious meal
✩ donate or volunteer
✩ build a gingerbread house
✩ go for a walk
✩ consume xmas media (movies, music, books)
✩ wear pj's all day (or an ugly xmas sweater)
✩ drink hot chocolate (i like mine with a pinch of cayenne or chili powder & cinnamon)
✩ video call distant relatives & friends
✩ consider making a NY resolutions list
✩ create an altar
✩ make a peppermint sugar scrub
✩ bake some cookies
✩ spend time with your pets
Wishing everyone a Very Merry Christmas! 🤍❄️🩰🧚‍♀️

Ciclo Aspirina apresentou Madmess e os Amaterazu no Maus Hábitos | Reportagem Fotográfica
Tumblr media
Sam Paio dos Madmess | mais fotos clicar aqui O louco verão dos Madmess teve o seu epílogo na passada noite de quinta-feira, dia 19 de setembro, com um concerto no Maus Hábitos do Porto. Foi uma atuação a contar para o ciclo Aspirina e neste evento houve ainda também outra performance, a dos Amaterazu.
O trio Madmess composto pelo guitarrista Sam Paio, por Pedro Cruz na bateria e pelo baixista Vasco Vasconcelos percorreu a Europa entre os passados dias 11 de julho e 31 de agosto. Espanha, França, Itália, Alemanha e Reino Unido foram os países visitados e de todas as atuações há que destacar as presenças nos festivais Krach Am Bach em território alemão e o nosso lusitano SonicBlast Fest cuja reportagem pode ser lida aqui. O encerramento da tournée teve lugar em Lousada no Inferno das Febras no último dia do mês de agosto.
Atuação muito energética dos Madmess, mesmo de nível elevado. Terminaram com um dos seus temas principais, nomeadamente, com "Stargazer". Sam Paio, o guitarrista deste trio portuense, exibiu-se no seu estilo particular. Fez lembrar o norte-americano Stevie Ray Vaughn, ele também um guitarrista se bem que ligado a um estilo musical completamente diferente. Moral da história: neste estilo rock psicadélico fica-lhe extremamente bem.
Tumblr media
Pedro Cruz dos Madmess | mais fotos clicar aqui Estes Madmess são oriundos de Portugal, mais especificamente do Porto, porém passaram por Londres para poderem expandir o seu raio de influência. O seu percurso iniciou-se no decurso do ano de 2017. Regressaram a solo luso devido ao Brexit e à pandemia. Eles que têm uma paisagem sonora pintada entre o stoner e o krautrock mais antigo.
Os álbuns ‘Rebirth’ de 2021 (com 5 faixas) e ‘Madmess’ de 2020 (com 4 faixas) continuam como os únicos trabalhos discográficos lançados até ao momento.  Estão previstas novidades, a este respeito, durante os próximos meses, muito provavelmente ainda em 2024.
Esse ‘Rebirth’, o mais recente registo, é tido como revelador da verdadeira identidade desta formação. Um álbum perfeito para 2021, psicologicamente denso e espacial. Lançado no ano seguinte a aparição do COVID-19 e no seguimento do confinamento. Editado através da Hassle Records, casa de bandas como Brutus ou The Joy Formidable.
Tumblr media
Madmess no palco do Maus Hábitos | mais fotos clicar aqui O prog-rock esteve também presente representado pelos viseenses Amaterazu cujo projeto é composto por Ricardo Bernardo (voz e guitarra), Ricardo Silva (voz, teclados e baixo) e João Lugatte (bateria). Eles que regressaram à Cidade Invicta, já tinham tocado no Ferro Bar e no Woodstock 69.
A atuação dos Amaterazu foi uma boa surpresa num registo um pouco distinto em relação à dos Madmess, eles que tocaram primeiro nesta última quinta-feira na sala de concertos do Maus Hábitos. O som esteve no ponto certo. Nota diferenciada para o baixista Ricardo Silva não só tocou baixo, fez uso também de flauta e de um sintetizador monofónico tocado com os pés. Os três elementos estavam todos vestidos de igual, com trajes de claras influências nipónicas.
Tumblr media
Amaterazu no palco do Maus Hábitos | mais fotos clicar aqui Esta formação nasceu em 2015, a partir de uma conversa sobre o Japão, o Monte Fuji e os elementos que compõem as histórias. Durante a conversa, um acorde de guitarra soou e ressoou, dando vida a uma narrativa que depressa se preencheu com personagens e paisagens. É aqui que surge o nome Amaterazu, vindo da deusa japonesa do Sol na mitologia Shinto; uma figura que representa a Luz, a expansão da Vida e do Universo e, no fundo, a própria vontade de criar e expandir. Esta narrativa iria dar origem a uma série de eventos musicais e não-musicais que culminaram no lançamento do álbum epónimo em Outubro de 2015.
Além deste álbum homónimo e de debute em 2015 o resto da discografia dos Amaterazu assenta em ‘Sunsun’, EP lançado em 2016, num disco gravado ao vivo no Carmo 81 (sala de espetáculos bem conhecida da cidade de Viseu) em 2017 e ainda na mais recente edição apelidada de ‘Meeting of The Spirits’ em setembro de 2020.
