Group 1

Cards : The Creator, Movement, Surrender, Nature, 20 Think outside the box, 9 Wait for it, 38 Shiny and new

This person finds you attractive, especially mentally. They like your mindset and how creative you can be. It's like you always find new unconventional ways of getting attention, especially theirs, without even thinking sometimes. They love how unbothered you are. You just go with the flow and enjoy life, not really expecting anything from anyone. You are patient and reserved to some extent and they find that enticing. They also love the way you move. There's something reptiliant about your presence. You are slow but deliberate. You know exactly when to strike. This person thinks that you could slither your way in their pants without them knowing. But what they love the most about you is your eyes. The amount of eyes there are on these cards is concerning. You intimidate them in some way and they can't help but to squirm under your intense gaze. If you're a Scorpio or a Leo or even a Taurus, I wouldn't be surprised. In my opinion, these signs have the most alluring eyes. Kind of come-to-bed eyes if you know what I mean. They definitely think that about you. Also your beauty feels natural to them. You're not specifically the super model type but how natural you are makes you beautiful, radiant. There's something about your aura that gets this person going. Again, back to that snake energy, it's like you've charmed them. You charmed the snake (pun intended). You can legit make them horny and hard just with one stare. Also, something about you feels new to this person. Maybe you're their first serious love interest or it's the first time that they feel attracted to someone like you. They're excited by the novelty of this connection. Also, maybe they believe you're a virgin and they like that. Or it's not that you are a virgin but you give off that very innocent vibe at first glance but once they look into your eyes they can see the depth and intensity that you hide. Also they like that you just don't buy into their BS. Maybe this person is used to people running to them and asking for their attention but you just don't give AF. You see right through them and they feel it. They get a thrill out of trying to get you to break your composure. This person is naughty. They think you could make the sex last because you're not willing to just kindly obey and comply to whatever shenanigans they have going on. You give me Morticia Addams vibes. You are the Vampire/Siren type.

Group 2

Cards : Connect to heart, Paradox, Underworld, The Magi, 12 Don't be afraid to use your voice, 48 Just for fun, 32 Your ancestors are watching

Hello to you Bangchan stans lmao Did some of you ask about Chan? That would be funny. Your person likes how connected to people you are in general but especially to your family. You take really good care of people. You are highly spiritual. You have an unconventional/unorthodox view of the world and relationships. You are most likely drawn to esoteric practices such as tarot and other kinds of divination. Your person might be into that as well. So they feel like they can connect with you even more. There's something ethereal about you. You look like a fairy, a witch or something supernatural. Know that trend on TikTok about fairy, witch, mermaid or vampire vibe? They associate you with that. Some of you could have very pale skin and also tattoos. Now this is very specific but some of you could have scars and they think your scars make you beautiful. This could be metaphorical or litteral. Also another specific thing could be that you have a pet dog and they find that cute. You're a very friendly and outgoing person, at least in public. You take things lightly and you're true to your nature. You do what you want and say what you think. They love your authenticity and your unappologetic nature. They feel and/or know that you've been through a lot and your experience makes you attractive in their eyes. They can relate to what you've been through. Also maybe you're the kind of person that doesn't feel the need to share everything about their relationship. Like you're very discreet and secretive in love. Which they appreciate because they don't like their private life to be public. I mean, it's private for a reason. Maybe your connection with this person is something unexpected or maybe a little controversial. So they appreciate that you wouldn't go around and just blurt out that you're interacting with this person. Are yall dating a celebrity? That would make sense. Also they love your voice and your hands specifically. They just feel like they're connected to you in a very weird and unexpected way and they find that beautiful. They love your laugh and your chill nature. Your energy is a bit similar to group 1. If group 1 is a Vampire/Siren type of person, you are the Witch/Dark Fairy type. I'm thinking of Maleficient for some reason. I guess your energy is close to hers.

Group 3

Cards : The Observer, Sacred sexuality, Self love, The Warrior, 36 Meant to be, 34 Your bold side, 43 Just for fun

Man all groups have a similar energy. You may want to check group 1 and 2 while you're at it. You are also the witchy type (no joke, you're litterally reading about oracles). You have come-to-bed eyes in this person's opinion. Some of you watch porn and don't shy away from it. This person likes that bold attitude. They like that you're not ashamed of your sexual side, of your sensuality, of your body. They like that you don't overthink things and just go with the flow. You feel very mature to them. Maybe you're older than them. You feel like an old soul. MILF/DILF energy. Even before I did your reading I was picking up on Hela from Marvel universe. Your energy is similar to hers, regardless of your gender. You are feisty, ambitious, driven. You don't shy away from connections, from potential conflicts. You know what you're talking about, you know what you bring to the table and what you want. You don't play around and waste time and they love that. They find it incredibly sexy and assertive. They appreciate that you believe in fate, that you enjoy esoterism and spirituality. They also like that you take care of yourself and prioritize your own needs. You don't appear as needy or like you would need someone to basically drag you to do anything. You can hold yourself well and do your share. There's something about horns. Like there's something a bit devilish about you. You're the rebel type. The generational curse breaker. Maybe you're the first born among your siblings or at least you give off that vibe. Again, Hela is coming off strongly. Maybe some of you legit wear horns as part of their attire. Or you have a tattoo of a devil like creature. You could be a cosplayer. They like that you love yourself enough to be able to show your body without shame. Maybe some of you are into modeling. I'm thinking of boudoir pictures and stuff like that. Of course it could be more than just pictures depending on the people. Now, that doesn't mean it's a public thing. It could just be between you and your person. Like you are confident enough to show them sexy pics of you. I don't sense a bad energy from this person so if you do that I don't think they share it with other people.

happy birthday!! i would love to read something about zagreus!!!

a continuation of 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

Thanatos has seen the courtyard maintained by Queen Persephone, is well aware of the poms that liter the realm thanks to her influence, but this is something different.

"Than?" Zagreus asks nervously.

Even in Elysium the trees and fields are washed out, half there and half not, ethereal in the way of loss rather than beauty.

This is lush.

There are fields of strange fruits and vegetables growing, acres of rolling hills and forests, all of if glittering as brightly as the gemstones that litter the realm. There are people down there, working and planting, and others talking and laughing, buildings carved from stone and built from mudbricks and grown from twisting oaks.

They've stepped out onto a balcony, high enough to see for miles, and nowhere in the underworld is there this much space. It's all rooms and sections, constantly shifting, nothing allowed to just be be. Except here.

"Say something," Zagreus says, shifting his weight from one foot to the other. "You're making me nervous."

"Where are we?" he asks. They're still in the underworld, but in none of the three levels or on the river, and that's all that should be, all that should exist. There is nothing else.

Zagreus swallows. "Um, well, it doesn't have a name exactly. Or it does, I guess. Everyone keeps calling it the Prince's Court, even though I think that's stupid."

The Prince's Court. He and Megaera had heard whispers of that. They thought it referred to Zagreus, and his growing power, and the people he kept close. Him, and Meg, and Dusa, except it turns out it had nothing to do with them at all.

"Have you lost your mind?" he demands, finally tearing his eyes away to glare at Zagreus. "Doing something like this in Hades's realm - he's going to kill you and make it stick-"

"This isn't my father's realm," he interrupts and Thanatos sputters. "No, I'm serious. Stop freaking out and focus."

"I'm not freaking out," he retorts but he grudgingly listens, if only so he can then continue yelling without interruption.

Hades's power is not limitless, as Zagreus has demonstrated so many times, but it is ever present, settling like a cloak over his domain and keeping it tightly within his grasp, not letting anything escape his attention or control.

Thanatos frowns then stretches his senses further.

It's only Zagreus.

The power he'd felt from his friend and brother and the person he loved most, something that he'd once had to press close and breathe in to feel and then later had ballooned to a comfortable presence that hung around Zagreus's shoulders.

They're standing so close now that he hadn't even thought it was strange that his power was all around them. But it's not because of that. It's because in this place, of open spaces and flourishing fruits and smiling people, it's Zagreus who holds it steady.

Not Hades.

"Why would you do this," he whispers, "why wouldn't you just challenge him for the throne if that's what you wanted?"

This is so much worse. An inevitable civil war, father against son, in a way so much bigger than their fights on the surface.

He makes a face. "Why would I want that? The underworld is depressing. And dealing with all those spirits is a lot of work. This is better. Besides, then I'd just inherit his curse, and then I'd have to work my way around it all over again. No thanks."

"What are you talking about?" he demands. "You're cursed too."

Zagreus grins, bright and happy and Thanatos can't return it because this is insane and he's insane and it's all going to end in misery. "Race you to the mountaintop."

Before Thanatos can say how ridiculous that is, a chaos rift appears behind Zagreus and he steps back and slips inside it, the rift closing before Thanatos can follow him.

Chaos is involved in this too? His grandparent, who has never take an interest in the affairs of the underworld and who has enough power to tip the scales in any direction they choose.

This just gets worse and worse.

The realms in “Tale of Forbidden Realm IIX” are intricate and varied, each contributing to the rich tapestry of the story’s universe. Here are the main realms that constitute IIX:

1. The Forbidden Realm

A mysterious and shadowy place where ancient magic lingers. It is the realm where the Heart of Eternity is hidden, a place filled with trials and guarded by enigmatic beings. The balance between light and dark is tenuous here, making it a realm of great power and peril.

2. The Realm of Light

A realm of purity and goodness, where guardians like Elara originate. It is a place of enlightenment, healing, and serenity. The inhabitants are dedicated to preserving balance and fighting the encroachment of darkness.

3. The Shadow Realm

A realm shrouded in darkness and secrecy, where dark magic and malevolent beings thrive. It is the counterpart to the Realm of Light, often at odds with it. The Shadow Realm represents the darker aspects of magic and power.

[paperanddice]

Kythons are an aberrant species created by a group of demons that found themselves deeply isolated from civilization and Hellholes. Boredom led to creativity, and eventually some particularly clever ones managed to mutate some of the local wildlife into a strain of small, armless, blind lizard creatures. These broodlings grew and molted, getting larger, growing arms, and in general became far more deadly and pervasive, exactly the sort of thing a demon would want. They named their creations kythons, and eventually moved on to other forms of destruction, leaving the kythons behind to their own devices.

Now Ages later, the kythons have overtaken an entire section of the Underworld, and are starting to spill out onto the surface and into areas connected with the Icons. The dwarves and dark elves both have had conflict with the kythons, a seemingly endless tide of the monsters swarming over the edges of their world.

Broodlings have no arms, and hunt constantly to try and find enough food to sustain themselves. When they grow older into juveniles they gain arms, and then adults lose their tails but grow a second set of arms and get more proficient at hemming in foes to keep them from escaping. These are the most common form of kython, but rare higher forms exist, each of which have sparked incredibly fear in those few who have encountered them and survived.

Kythons are also quite noteworthy for the strange biological weapons they use. Their eggs can hatch into these weapons, which are then bonded to a juvenile or older kython to help it with hunting and survival. These weapons act as nastier specials that can be added to any kython in a group, either at the GM’s choice or at random. If you want to do it at random, roll a d20 for every kython except broodlings in a group. A juvenile gets a weapon on a 20, and an adult gets one on a 14+. Choose the weapons by what seems like it would be fun, or at random.

d20 Weapon 1-4 Acid spitter 5-10 Bone shard crossbow 11-12 Boneblade 13-14 Extra armor 15-16 Mouth Launcher 17-18 Mucus Pod 19-20 Phase organ

R: Acid Spitter 5 + level vs. PD (one nearby enemy) – Level 1-4: Level x 2 acid damage. Level 5-7: Level x 3 acid damage. Level 8-10: Level x 4 acid damage. Level 11+: Level x 5 acid damage. Double for large or double-strength kythons, triple damage for huge or triple-strength kythons. R: Bone Shard Crossbow 5 + level vs. AC (one nearby enemy, or one far away enemy at -2 atk) – Damage equal to 1/2 the kython’s claw attack. Natural Even Hit: Damage equal to the poison damage dealt by the kython’s bite attack. Boneblade: The first claw attack the kython makes each round deals double damage. Extra Armor: +2 AC and PD. Mucus Pod: When the kython hits with a claw attack and rolls a natural 14+, the target is stuck and hampered (save ends). Phase Organ: The kython can turn ethereal or corporeal as a quick action. While ethereal, the kython can move through objects and creatures, and gains resist damage 16+ against all damage except force, but it deals half damage with all its attacks.

Kython’s originated from the 3.0 Book of Vile Darkness. This post came out a week ago on my Patreon. If you want to get access to all my monster conversions early, as well as access to my premade adventures and other material I’m working on, consider backing me there!

Kython Broodling 4th level mook [aberration] Initiative: +8 Bite +9 vs. AC – 5 damage. Natural Even Hit: The target takes 4 poison damage. AC 19 PD 18 MD 12 HP 26 (mook) Mook: Kill one kython broodling mook for every 26 damage dealt to the mob.

Kython Juvenile 4th level troop [aberration] Initiative: +8 Bite +9 vs. AC – 8 damage. Natural Even Hit: The target takes 5 poison damage. Claws and Tail +9 vs. AC – 2 damage. Quick Use: 2/round, as a quick action. AC 20 PD 18 MD 14 HP 58

Kython Adult 6th level blocker [aberration] Initiative: +10 Bite +11 vs. AC – 10 damage. Natural Even Hit: The target takes 8 poison damage. Claw +11 vs. AC – 4 damage. Dual Hits: If the kython hits the same target with both claw attacks during its turn, the target takes a -5 penalty to disengage checks while it’s engaged with the kython. Quick Use: 2/round, as a quick action. AC 22 PD 20 MD 16 HP 92

Your next significant relationship - Who? When? Where?

Group 1 - Controler

Letters : N U Z E D M L K I O S Significant words/names/signs : SKZ, nudes, suki, soul, miso, sun, zen, Leo, kids, Nike, Mike, lion, Leon, noise, sound, Link, links, Dion, Zeus, Odin, Oden, onze (french for 11), douze (french for 12), uno, dos/due, dom, Muse, likes, silk, sold, DMs, solid, kudos, doki, slime, smile, Milo, miko

WHO ? - The Empress / STRENGTH / Herkimer diamond : power wash your energy This person is not what they seem. They may look harsh on the surface but deep down they are as fragile as Quartz. People may only judge them based on their looks and not who they are at there core. They are beautiful without a doubt. Extremely sensual and feminine. Their beauty feels ethereal. They are highly sensitive and spiritual. They could be a healer. The Herkimer diamond card mentions New York's Mohawk Valley where it can be found. So maybe this person is a New Yorker or they would like to travel to New York. With the strength card being related to fire, this person could have important fire placements in their chart (Leo, Sagittarius, Aries). They are powerful and determined. They know what they want and they won't back down no matter what you put them through. Though this person is affected by what people think of them, they would rather die than show it. They could have red hair. Their hair is rather long and straight. They like to wear bracelets. They are connected to the stars. They are grounded and protected by the universe. The Empress is also assiocated with Taurus. They present themselves as a woman. They feel close to their ancestors. It might be that there were warriors in their bloodline. Especially women. Their women ancestors were fierce in battle and they like to take after them and ask for their guidance. I'm feeling a strong connection to witches and shamans.

WHERE ? - 9 of swords / UNDERWORLD / Barite : get answers to your biggest questions. Places this person could be from or have been to at some point are : USA -> Nevada, Misouri, Georgia, Texas / China / India / Morocco / Mexico / Iran / Kazakhstan / Canada / Australia / Thailand / Nigeria / Peru / UK -> Scotland The 9 of swords card shows imagery of a woman lying down in the snow, with mountains in the background. So this person could live in a cold climate country/region. I'm thinking of the Alps, Himalaya, Caucasus, Alaska range. I'm thinking about Sweden, Denmark, Netherlands, Russia, Groenland, Iceland. Any city starting with a U or a B. Furthermore the character on the card has a dress with an important amount of stars on it, which reminded me of the European Union flag. In terms of the meeting, it could be through social media. The underworld card gives me a sense of mystery, of something being hidden. So it could be the dark web for some. Or on a website that keeps things hidden from people (i.e. content available only for subscribers or a private account). Also you could meet them in your dreams before you meet in 3D. Also, the underworld could be a metaphor for rave parties, clubs and so on. They could live or you could meet near an important building or monument.

WHEN ? - XXI The World / NATURE / Labradorite : protect your magic. The labradorite card mentions Aurora Borealis and the sign of Pisces. So Winter could be relevant, as well as the period from mid February to mid March. The number 21 could be relevent. So if we think in terms of dates it could be 02.21 or 03.21. The World speaks of cycles as well as the long term. So it could represent several years in terms of timing. When it comes to zodiac signs, The World is related to fixed signs. So Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius season could be relevant as well. Which means that you could meet them between mid April to mid May, mid July to mid August, mid October to mid November or mid January to mid February. The World could also represent a time of your life when you are traveling abroad. Again, the character depicted on the card has a lot of stars in their hair. So I'm thinking of the USA as well as the EU. As she is dressed in red, holds red roses and has horns on her head, I'm also being reminded of Spain. The nature card could talk about a time of your life when you are in the wild, connecting with nature, taking a break from the drama of big city life.

Group 2 - Phone

Letters : T E N N U L N O R I S Significant words/names/signs : tennis, Noris, Noe, Noel, runs, Euro, sun, tenor, soul, norns, nine, tunes, Sonne (Rammstein song), Uriel, notes, nuns, trio, route, routines, Riolu (pokémon name), Loire (region in France), Lorie, LOTR, rise, sonnet, soir (french word for evening), nuit (french for night), riots, Lise, lotus

WHO? - IV The Emporor / Sacred Sexuality / Sapphire : find your tranquil place. This person is very masculine and grounded. They could be a father and/or a leader, a mentor, an entrepreneur. The sign of Aries could be significant. They are incredibly determined and strong. Their sexual drive is high. They pay a lot of attention to their health and appearance. They have a lot of sex appeal. This person could be in the fashion industry or could even be that they get money from people watching their body (selling pictures of them, having access to private erotic content). They could have a bit of a bad temper. Piercings also seem significant. On the sacred sexuality card, there’s a full moon and roses. This tell me this person is a romantic and is more of a night owl. They have an important status. We’re talking about company owners, freelance artists, lawyers, head officers, doctors, headmasters of big schools, politicians and so on.

WHERE? - 6 of swords / MOVEMENT / Garnet : get into your depth. -> places they could be from or have gone to : Czekoslovakia, Kenya, Madagascar, India. The 6 of swords depicts a beautiful woman rowing a boat on a lake. Behind her is a white mountain. In her boat are two herons. So Africa seems significant, particularly Tanzania where Kilimandjaro can be found. I’m also thinking of the Mt Fuji in Japan, in Yamanashi. This person lives near an important body of water. Or you might meet them there. Another thing that is significant is movement. So you could meet them where you’re going on a trip, as you travel or relocate. You could meet them on a boat. Anyplace you want to create something (art, music, writing and so on). When looking at « get into your depth » this gives me the feeling you could meet this person in the 5D before meeting them in person, like through dreams or meditation.

WHEN? Queen of wands and VI The Lovers - DARE TO DREAM - Citrine : manifest your masterpiece. First of all I have to say, when I was shuffling the cards for the WHEN? the bells of the nearby Church started ringing. So this tells me when you're going to Church either for communion or for a wedding. Summer is significant, especially from mid June to mid July. I would even say the month of June is the most significant of the two. When you go after your dreams, you will meet this person. On the DARE TO DREAM card, you can see a diamond trapped in an eagle's claw. For some reasons it reminded me of metal and rock bands, of concerts and big events like the Superbowl. So maybe one of your dreams is to go watch your favorite band/artist live or to go to Hellfest or any big convention that is happening in Summer. If there are any French people here, I'm thinking of the Olympics happening this Summer in Paris. And also the Japan Expo convention. In terms of timing, I’d say in a few months.

Group 3 - Mirror

First of all I want to say my coffee spilled as I did your reading. So either you or this person is super clumsy and/or coffee is significant in your relationship. Letters : E L I C O O E U J I A Y

Words/names/signs : Jay, Jey, Joy, Jolie, Julia, Julie, Jule, July, Lucy, cool, jail, Luc, Loïc, Alice, ciel (French for Sky), clue, juice, école (French for school), eco , CEO, Lucie, Lucia, Cloe

WHO? - XVII The Star / Ancestors / Obsidian : protect your soul. Aquarius comes in strongly for this reading. This person is an introvert. They are often seen as a daydreamer, someone that doesn’t care about earthly life. They look like their head is in the stars. Which, in some way is true. This person connects strongly with the Ethers. Social media seems to be important. They could be an influencer or have a certain amount of followers that they help. Think of tarot readings, raising awareness about certain subjects (mental health, disabilities, menstrual cycle, sexuality and so on). This person could be famous in some type of way or they are going to be at some point in their life. Overall they have a good reputation among their peers. They are valued for their work ethic and their deep insights. They are divinely protected. Family business comes to mind. They care about family a lot, especially the deceased ones. This person would be the type to seek out advice from their ancestors or try to honor them as much as they can. Scorpio is also a sign that seems relevant. I don’t know why but I thought of a surgeon. So maybe they have undergone an important surgery. Or they are very sharp. Because I definitely don’t feel this person is a surgeon. Well it could be, but honestly I feel more the energy of influencers and public speakers, like ambassadors of NGOs and stuff like that. Soft and caring, they feel and look rather feminine. Giving more than receiving. They love animals. They draw a lot of attention just from their presence. I think their aura is pretty strong and vibrant. Connected to nature, especially trees and plants.

WHERE? - 7 of pentacles / movement / Herkimer diamond You could meet at work, as you’re changing jobs or they are. During a break at work while you’re printing/scanning papers. In sacred spaces. New York. Somewhere in a lot of greenery like a park or a farm. As for places they could come from or have been to, we have : Norway, Ukraine, Arizona, China, Afghanistan, Herkimer county. If not these places, there could be farms where this person lives. Also they live in a place where there is a lot of activity, especially work wise. So this makes me think of hot spots like La Défense in Paris where a lot of businesses and political administrations can be found. Other places like that would be : Midtown New York, La City London, Marunouchi Tokyo, The Loop Chicago, Bankenviertel Frankfurt, Zuidas Amsterdam, Gangnam Seoul and so on.

WHEN? - 4 of swords / Death / Aquamarine : Keep your cool. You could meet on the fourth of a month, in April. At a time when you’ve lost your voice or when you are going Hermit mode, when you are sick or when you are mourning a loss. During a period of depression. During Scorpio season. In several weeks. Also it could be when someone or something pushes your buttons but you can’t express your frustration somehow. That could be anything really. Like queueing for registration in a building and someone is trying to take your spot. Or shopping at the mall and a customer is being super rude but since there are children around you can’t fully tell this person what you think of their attitude. Stuff like that.

Stimulating sky space stage

Skipping some floors, this elevator system allows pedestrians to travel 76 meters directly to[1] the rooftop. From here you enter the club. As the elevator door opens, one leaves the underworld of the everyday city and enters another urban realm.[2] Not what we have but what we enjoy, constitutes our abundance.[3] The main event which kept me on the edge of my seat is a comedian, who performs on a hovering platform in the center of the room, and it appears, as if he falls into a situation of exact mimicry where language itself has decided not to decide. Hot or cold, tragedy, comedy? What will happen? [4]Sound is transmitted here in nonlinear fashion, travelling from hardest to softest; here, at each stage, it submits to loops, circuits or feedback. [5] Sipping on my martini I realized: The more we immerse ourselves in this space, the more we see and the less we hear. And the more we withdraw from it, the less we see and the better we listen. Better still: the better we see that it is a matter of hearing. Of a sound stage, or a noise trap. Of the immense, transmitter receiver, social box. In the center, the speaker or singer hears the silence of the audience which hears its own silence and the voice that comes out of it, a perfect, temporary circle which will soon collapse under the wave of applause, or the shouts and cat calls of failure. Within a single sentence, inside a single space during the course of a single action, we find rhythm and music, silence and singing, the chaotic crackle of noise, everything that precedes language, and the transformations of one into the other, as though we were dealing with a box both sonorous and deaf, tempestuous, attentive and tacit, capable of changing one acoustic system into another […].[6] Communication increases with power and power with messages, sometimes, noise, often, but above all interceptions.[7] For all these questions, provided that they be not chopped up and tom apart into such unprofitable refinements, elevate and lighten the soul, which is weighted down by a heavy burden and desires to be freed and to return to the elements of which it was once a part.[8]

To us it is home, and all the home we know.[9] This club is a true escape from the mundane world outside. The abundance of enjoyment, combined with the temporary sense of unity, make for a memorable evening. I would highly recommend this club to anyone looking for a unique and enjoyable night out. So why wait? Hit the button for your desired floor and let the ELEVATOR take you on a journey of joy and laughter.

The atmosphere on stage floored me completely. It was hot; almost too hot.[1] I felt like I was in a goddamn sauna. The lights, the audience, the air, the smell -it was nuts. The energy of things goes in: disturbances of the air, shocks and vibrations, heat, alcohol or ether salts, photons.[2] Emotional and uplifting like a West End musical – yet different.[3] But you know what's even wilder? Time. Eternity itself sometimes seems to mix with passing time like the gold lost in the ducat or this perfume filling a moment with an herbal fragrance.[4] Time is the great author. Always writes the perfect ending.[5] It´s such a privilege that people come out to see you. You can say anything you want, there´s no restrictions, it´s just your own morality and 10.000 strangers.[6] Laughter is the tonic, the relief, the surcease from pain.[7] It´s like a drug - highly addictive.

Just saw Wakanda Forever.

I liked it a lot! First marvel movie I've seen in phase 4 beyond the joyless, effortless dreck that was Thor 4.

And I actually really enjoyed it.

Let's talk about it.

So first:

Story: 8/10 

I enjoyed the story quite a bit. The pacing was much slower than any of the other frenetically ADHD Phase 4 Marvel stories, and I did enjoy the build up and tension. Not many quips and annoying one liners too. Just an emotionally deep, heavy melodrama with action thrown in here and there. The focus was on the characters and I really, really loved that. 

But holy fuck. It was too long. We hit the 2 hour mark and I was like oh my god...there’s still 40 minutes...and those 40 minutes could’ve been sharper, cleaner. It lagged at several parts when it didn’t need to. 

Martin Freeman and his wife were utterly pointless. Their scenes felt forced and strange and terribly uninteresting. 

I don’t mind the over drama being how the world’s governments treat Wakanda...that was narratively cool and thematically solid, I just think Martin Freeman lacked the importance he had in the first movie, and so his entire role could’ve been cut or reduced. 

He’s just exposition man, and the movie didn’t need the American government scenes. Not really. They didn’t have any impact on the main plot, really, anyway. 

The main threat was Namor, and that was all we really needed. 

So that’s the minus 2 deduction. 

Action: 8/10 

I loved the action of this movie because it felt meaningful, and character-focused, rather than just a CGI mess like say....Black Adam. There was real weight to the action, which is nice, since Thor 4 kind of destroyed my idea of Marvel as a decent action studio. 

I enjoyed Wakandan tech, Shuri’s more technology based approach to fighting, and Okoye domination, as always. Less action than Black Panther, but where it existed, it was poignant, fun, had purpose, and felt fairly solid. 

The only deduction comes from the fact that well. Some of the underwater action was meh. And I was a little underwhelmed by the climax. The fight on a Wakandan ship was...ehhh. 

Still, Shuri vs. Namor was pretty damn cool. 

Effects: 9/10 

Solid! Thor 4 looked fucking awful. I was so worried they’d be fucking lazy. 

But no. 

This movie was gorgeous. 

This movie had wonderful, real costumes with some amazing makeup, clothing designs, weapon designs, and integrated tech. 

Great CGI that felt seamless and not horribly and lazily edited. Some wonderful cinematography and shots of both Wakanda and Atlantis. Er... Talokan.

The tech looks cool. The CGI suits and moving pieces weren’t too distracting, not unless you deliberately slow things down to analyze them, which I suspect some people will. 

My only real complaint is that Talokan was so murky and dark that I had a hard time seeing the daily lives of Talokan’s people? We were supposed to see like, children and families and this ethereal underworld city that lives so different from us... 

But I could barely see shit. Plus, it didn’t look natural? Everyone had this weird stiffness to how they were swimming...I didn’t believe they naturally belonged there. Everyone moved too spasmodically. Like they were in a pool and the director was making them act like they’re ok when they’re actually about to run out of oxygen? 

They might’ve known that, cuz we didn’t linger on the city for too long. 

It wasn’t like super horrible, it was just awkward. So 1 point demerit. 

Wakanda looked fantastic. Even when under attack. 

So here’s the meat of this review: 

Characters 7/10:

Shuri 10/10: I loved the exploration of Shuri's grief and her arc of becoming the Black Panther. That was beautifully done, solid thematically, narratively suitable due to the unfortunate passing of Chadwick Boseman. It felt natural and respectful.

Shuri's relationship with Namor was thoughtful and deep and I liked how it was resolved. I'll admit I did want her to murder him for a brief moment just cuz I'm a gremlin like that, but it was nice for her to sit back and say well I'm a queen now. This isn't just between you and me. I don't want to bring our kingdoms against one another.

That was nice. It didn't feel as cheap as a marvel movie normally would do it, like, have Shuri make some dumb speech about how revenge is simply bad all the time.

It was more practical. A little less personal.

And it made sense for Shuri! She’s not this angry, passionate warrior. 

She’s a scientist. A voice of reason. 

Less mystical. Less honor bound, and more pragmatic and wise. 

I always liked how Shuri was the character that represented Wakanda’s tech too. 

Like Wakanda is this larger than life Afro-futuristic paradise where various African cultures from the real world are displayed...but also, it’s high tech. 

So how do you negotiate between the highly technical and fantastic elements, with the more realistic, more grounded historical roots?

Shuri is the answer.

You have the traditional T’Challa. And then you have his more youthful and irreverent sister, who’s a scientist and a genius, who’s not just up to date with technology, but far ahead most of the world.

It makes sense, and having Shuri have to explore how that will affect her rule as the Queen...I liked that a lot.

I liked that she fought Namor hand to hand...and lost horribly, until she used her ship and her other tech to weaken him.

It made sense for her. 

And again, the story of her grief and losing both her brother and mother...deciding that she would still reject revenge and embrace her new role as a leader...it was well done. 

I loved Shuri here. 

I hope her actress has given up on her anti vaxx weirdness from a while back! 

Now...

That being said...

Namor 5/10: Didn't really like him. He felt a little underdeveloped. He had this hatred of colonists like Killmonger, but he lacked the emotional connection and development that Killmonger had.

We just didn't see his personal story enough. It didn't feel justified enough, since we only saw a few scenes of his mother, and only one scene about the horrors of the surface.... 

Plus we've already seen that anyway. It was a copy paste of the idea that here's an oppressed people who wanna get back at the rest of the world. 

Not saying colonialism isn't bad or anything but in this particular narrative, you are just copy pasting a new anti genocide...genocidal maniac.

Plus his stupid wing feet had me rolling my eyes the entire time. He just didn't feel that intimidating. We didn't see much of his abilities in the water other than that he's very fast and he re powers through water.

Kind of not very memorable in terms of weapons either...man’s hot but he’s basically just a dude in a swim suit. 

His necklaces/collar were interesting and his later re design was fine, but....I don’t know. 

His aesthetic was fine, but his character narrative was weak to me. 

And like I said, I was just laughing at his dumb little wing feet. 

Yeah they give him the power of flight, so what? There are a lot of characters who can fly without looking silly. 

Also again, not enough underwater stuff to really make him pop out as a credible villain.

He might as well have just been a flying villain. 

I don’t mind the resolution they reached, though, so. 

Okoye 4/10: 

Listen. Okoye was very funny and I do love her. But she kind of...was just there for the first part, and then she got fired...and then Shuri just re-hired her again by the end part. Not nearly as complex as the first film. 

I liked that they touched on Angela Bassett being annoyed still over that whole, siding with Killmonger shit.

But her character didn’t grow or change or do a whole lot, even as a civilian... 

She didn’t even fix her mistake of letting Shuri get kidnapped. Nakia did that... 

And speaking of Nakia... 

Nakia 5/10: 

I really feel like they didn’t know what to do with Nakia...she did save Shuri and the Scientist Girl at one point, but she didn’t do much for the whole rest of the movie, besides Be There. 

I feel like they dropped the ball on this one.

And the ending credit scene, where she has T’Challa’s son...it’s sweet and all, but I can’t help but feel like it reduces her role to being a mom who’s off screen. 

We didn’t see enough of her involvement with the main plot. 

She was some emotional support for Shuri, but...she wasn’t impactful other than that. Kind of sad, I liked her a lot in the original, since she and T’Challa had these conflicting viewpoints about how Wakanda should be involved in the world... 

But here, well. Now that the world knows of Wakanda...she just has no purpose or role. 

She didn’t really have any good fight scenes either. Most of her work was ensemble. Mixed in with other randoms. 

They did my girl dirty....but damn, she was gorgeous this movie... 

M’Baku 11/10: 

No notes. He’s perfect. 

He’s hilarious, he’s emotional support. He and Shuri were so fucking cute.

No notes. 

Queen Ramonda 11/10: 

Angela Bassett carried this movie on her back. Truly phenomenal performance. 

Wonderful beginning and end to her glorious character. 

I am mad that they killed her, but...also, it was fitting enough, since Shuri becoming the next Queen AND the Black Panther was neat. 

But damn, I am a little mad. 

Ironheart 5/10: 

I didn’t hate this character, but...she was like...barely present. She was important initially, but then she just got under water shafted for a long time...then she came back to help Shuri do some background work....then she was in the final battle.

And that was kind of it. 

I didn’t care for her suit, and didn’t feel like her character had enough significance to Shuri or the main plot. 

She was a genius tech expert, but helping Shuri design the anti Namor ship was something any character could’ve done, that’s how background it felt. 

I didn’t think she had enough of a fleshed out backstory either. 

She didn’t have an arc, plus I wish she and Shuri had bonded more over their scientific genius. Their friendship came across to me like...I guess they like each other. 

We needed more of them finishing each other’s sentences or geeking out over their shared technical prowess. 

We only really got a scene in the beginning and the very end. 

not enough meat and potatoes. 

And that Ironman suit was dopey looking. 

So all in all...

8/10. 

Yeah. 

Solid, really good, way better than anything else in Phase 4.... 

Chadwick Boseman’s scenes had me tearing up or openly weeping.... 

A touching tribute to him, as well as the character. 

The runtime needed to be reduced, however, and the plot dragged in several places.

Plus, Namor could’ve been more interesting. Beefed up. 

Narratively, of course. His actor was pure beef. 

Overall, I really liked it, though. 

I’ve only seen 2 Marvel Phase 4 movies, and I’ll say.

Wakanda Forever deserved to be better than Thor 4, and it was. 

Rest in peace, Chadwick. 

You’re a legend.

Derzit: God of Knowledge, Education, and Science; has 4 arms

Othoki: Goddess of Peace, Prosperity, and Nation Building

Asarge: God/Goddess of Metalworking, Metallurgy, and The Forge

*Asaka is 15' and Wojira is 14'8"; Thazor is 14'2", Zatsekh is 13'5", Asa is 14'6", Ulsa is 14'6", Derzit is 13'7", Othoki is 14'4", and Asarge is 14'.

*The Serpent Gods are able to change their height/size, as well as their form (ex. human, Oni, etc.), at will.

- Creation Myth: In the beginning there was all the realms except for Ninjago. One day, 9 eggs suddenly appeared in Chima, and it's denizens - confused and fearful of what they might bring - casted them out of their realm, where they proceeded to drift towards the center of the Ethereal Divide. When they hatched, the nine Serpent gods deities emerged, and they started to construct a new realm that they would call their own. Asaka first created the planet itself, while Wojira then filled it with water, leaving islands and a mega continent upon completing her task. From these land masses, Asa and Zatsekh filled the world with animals, humans, and plants; Asaka then created the Amethystine and the Vermillion - the proto-Serpentine - before branching them off into the five Serpentine tribes; Wojira created the Maarays and - with Asaka's help - the Hydrophiline. Meanwhile, Thazor created the moon, sun, and cosmos, using his shed scales to fill the sky with stars; he then created the Questozoals, before bedding Asaka and creating the Chrysopoline. Derzit then gave both humanity and the Serpentine the intelligence and knowledge to create fire, while Asarge taught the two groups metalworking and forging. While Othoki maintained the peace between human and Serpentine, as well as helping the two civilizations thrive, Ulsa presided over the souls of the recently deceased, judging them before allowing them to cross into the Realm of the Departed, the Underworld, or the Cursed Realm.

- The Five Great Tragedies:

Several millennia after the creation of this new realm, the FSM and the Overlord appeared in Ninjago. The Overlord proceeded to corrupt Wojira with darkness, turning her into a great beast, causing great storms and tides. The other 8 gods, along with Nyad and the Merlopains, eventually put the former goddess into a deep sleep, which calmed the seas and weather.

After a few centuries of peace, the Overlord launched a surprise attack with his Stone Army, to which the FSM, Thazor, and Asaka and the Amethystine responded. During the fighting, Thazor was slain by the Overlord, while Asaka sacrificed herself to block a concentrated beam of Dark Matter from hitting the FSM, becoming the Devourer. With Asaka now reduced to a small beast, the Stone Army proceeded to go on a genocide against the disorganized Amethystine, destroying all trace of their existence; the FSM won only by separating the supercontinent of Ninjago into two: The Dark Island and Ninjago itself. The FSM - at the requests of Thazor and Asaka - took their respective elements for himself, not wanting them to end up in the wrong hands. The death of the Amethystine and Thazor, on top of Asaka being reduced to the Great Devourer, caused the Unified Serpentine Kingdom to disintegrate into smaller clans, which then consolidated into the Serpentine Confederation five centuries later. This also convinced the other living Serpent gods to go into hiding, not wanting to suffer the same fate as either Thazor or Asaka. (Note: Aspheera's coup of Mambo V occured only one century after this, and the Pyro Vipers declined for two hundred years after her imprisonment until they went extinct.)

When the First Serpentine War started, Clouse uses some of his magic to prevent the Serpentine from contacting the remaining Serpent gods. This left them in the dark as the Serpentine were being killed in large numbers by the Elemental Alliance. It was only after the War ended, and Chen and Clouse were exiled from Ninjago, that the gods learned of what transpired. To add insult to painful injury, the Elemental Masters and humans began to destroy the Serpentine holy temples and settlements, in addition to the pillaging of important relics and artefacts, greatly enraging the gods. In response, Ulsa caused a plague that wiped out 20% of the human population, while Zatsekh caused crop failures, with the resulting famine killing an additional 10% of the human population. Othoki, meanwhile, caused the humans to suffer the greatest economic depression in recorded history, which went on for 15 years before it finally recovered.

When the Great Devourer was released, the six gods were horrified about Ninjago being swallowed whole by the corrupted Asaka. Asa then had the realization that Garmadon could use the Golden Weapons to cleanse Asaka of the Overlord's darkness, giving the others hope that the rampaging goddess can be saved. Their hopes were dashed, however, when Garmadon used the Golden Weapons to kill the Devourer, which also ended Asaka's life. The 6 proceeded to mourn her, while also cursing Garmadon to never achieve his goal of world domination, and if he does, make it short lived.

When Wojira was released by Kalmaar, the six living Serpent gods were immediately drawn to the fact that she was both being uncharacteristic of herself and in pain. They then quickly realized that Kalmaar was using his trident to control Wojira by electrocuting her, much to their dismay. To make matters worse, while Kalmaar was eventually eaten by Wojira after his trident was destroyed, there was a brief window where Wojira was herself again, questioning why she was flooding Ninjago, before being slain by Nya, who had merged with the Endless Sea to defeat the sea serpent. After Wojira's death and leaving to become one with the Endless Sea, Nya stumbled across the six Serpent gods, though before she could say anything, they immediately left, not wanting to give this outsider any legitimacy.

- The Chosen and the Great Plan: After the end of the First Serpentine War, the six remaining gods realized they couldn't free the Serpentine themselves, since the Elemental Alliance put runes on the Serpentine Tombs' entrances that prevented them from interacting with them. Attempting to find another solution, Asa proposes that they mark a Serpentine to carry out a plan to revive the Amethystine, those Serpentine killed during the war, and both Asaka and Thazor (and Wojira after her death). While it was controversial at first, the six eventually came to accept the idea. After marking their desired Serpentine, Asarge goes about creating a device - in the shape of an enneagram - to perform the task. Sometime during the design phase (after the Second Serpentine War), they come into contact with a long lost servant of their long forgotten religion: Alistair, a human that was also granted the blood of the Anacondrai by the gods due to his extraordinary service to them. He's come to inform them that he's gotten into contact with the spirits of the FSM, Asaka, and Thazor (eventually Wojira too), and that they would like to help with their mission. The living Serpent gods don't hesitate to agree to let the three - Alistair included - help, since the human also knows a certain person of interest that might be crucial when it comes time to actually construct the device.

[nightmare-grass]

It’s really late at night and I just finally found where to watch the final season on My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic (the years gone by have made me forget how good the show was and I’m having fun) and so it’s that time again where I get crazy ideas!

Alicorns, right? What exactly are they, compared to normal ponies? Naturally born Alicorns are extremely rare, but a normal pony can just become an Alicorn under very rare magical circumstances. They live much longer than normal ponies, growing much taller than normal ponies can ever grow, their manes can flow as if blown by unseen winds 24/7 because they’re so full of magic. What’s their deal?

What if they’re like the Egyptian gods? Stay with me here, I’m gonna try and make it make sense. So the gods of ancient Egypt were technically mortal, they could be killed, which is why Osiris is a mummified god of the dead, he was dismembered and then brought back to life except it wasn’t exactly complete so he remains in the underworld. Ra, the sun god, eventually got old and lost the respect of the mortals, so he created Sekhmet to avenge him and then had to fix things when she wouldn’t stop her murderous rampage. After that Ra gave up his semi-mortal godly form and retired to his sun boat where he dies and is reborn every day. Why am I telling you all this? This is just a lengthy preamble for how I think Alicorns as a species work.

Celestia and Luna are basically goddesses of the sun and moon. They have lived for centuries, they control heavenly forces, the ponies worship them on festival days and such as we humans would worship the gods in ancient times. Twilight Sparkle, in the end of the Season 9 finale and the end of the series as a whole, was shown to still look youthful in her adult Alicorn form, about the same height as Celestia was, while her friends are all showing signs of aging at a normal rate for mortals. Celestia and Luna are nowhere to be seen in this epilogue, it looks as though they really have retired completely and Twilight is the sole ruler of Equestria. But are Celestia and Luna still alive? Probably, but in the distant future of Gen 5 there are no more Alicorns anywhere in Equestria. So that tells us Alicorns are not 100% immortal, meaning they either can die or they just kinda fade into some kind of magical ether that exists in the universe.

I think I’m just tired enough that I can’t think of anything more to say, so I hope I made my idea clear and understandable. Good night everypony!

December 28th, 2017

Renjun stood exactly 40 steps away from your shivering figure that sat on a red swing, the temperature of the night dropping as it got deeper. While he watched you waiting alone with a heavy heart, unbeknownst to his presence you rubbed your palms against one another to produce some friction as an attempt to allow you the bliss of warmth momentarily. You puff out a string of smog in annoyance, re-checking if your boyfriend actually agreed meeting up tonight.

you : tonight. 9 pm at the park. sharp or ill kill u

RJ: 9 pm it is.

You jumped in surprise at the sound of your own sneeze, quickly bringing out some tissues from the pocket of your jacket before your allergy worsens. It was already 10 pm, and you started you wonder if he would actually ever show up. You fix your woolen beanie, the one you have matching with Renjun, anxiously tapping your feet against the blanket of green beneath you. You squint your eyes, sensing the devious arrival of your migraine. What a great night it is indeed! You thought. 

Renjun took two steps towards you, hesitation holding back his legs from approaching any further; I should tell you, he thought. He did not want to drop a bomb on you out of the blue when you hear the news of his sudden disappearance. He wanted to come out clean, if not to all at least to you. You of everyone deserve an explanation. But fate had other plans for you both that day. Annoyed red, you harshly kick the swing you were previously seating on, swinging your bag on your back before speeding off back to your house. Renjun sighed, but he wasn’t sure if it was out of relief or because you were making too hard for him to say the truth.

“What do you mean?” You felt your heart drop at his words, a solemn expression sitting on his face. It held no regrets, no emotions; and you pondered if he was the same guy that you had been dating for the past 11 months. “Babe, what are you sa-”

“You heard me right, Y/N.” Renjun rubbed the temples of his forehead, an exasperated huff leaving his mouth. “Don’t wait for me. I’ll be leaving in three days. So its best we break up.” He was not even bothering to look you in the eyes, did all these months mean nothing to him at all?

You were too numb to answer him back, feeling as if a lightning directly ascended upon your existence. You stood in your position motionless, not even realizing how he had already disappeared from you line of sight. You wanted to cry and scream at him, but it was if your body was retaliating against you; unable to form any sort of sound. That night, you cried to your heart’s content; a very worried Jaemin comforting you throughout the whole night despite having his Valedictorian Speech rehearsal scheduled the next day. Without a word, he listened to your muffled cries and screams, sometimes letting out coos of ‘it’ll be okay’ or ‘i’m here for you’. For the first time in all your years of being friends with him you had actually listened to his words when he said, “Cry out, cry to your heart’s content tonight, but remember to never cry again for that dipshit after tonight.” Jaemin took your slowly calming sobs as an agreement to his prior wording, a deep sigh escaping his lips as he listened to another set of muffled sobs reverberating from his earphones.

December 28th, 2027

“Oh my God!” A very merry Sooyoung, you best friend who was also your colleague at the law firm you worked at chirped gleefully as you twirled around gracefully with your wedding dress. Yes, it was your wedding day. You blushed like every other bride as you glanced at your reflection on the mirror, slightly taken aback by this very different version of yourself. You looked ethereal, like those scenes in movies where a soft light from the windows falls upon the main lead with white curtains dancing in the back? Yeah, you felt similar to that. 

Giggling at your weird imaginations, you turn over to meet a teary Sooyoung, sniffing with the napkin clutched in her hands. You would hate to cry at this moment, it had barely been twenty minutes since you arrived in the waiting room. But most importantly, you would really despise the idea of getting your makeup ruined, not really adamant on spending another stash of dollars for a simple bridal makeover. However, your sobbing best friend was making it really hard for you. Your sweet moment was cut off by an urgent spree of knocks, the person standing on the other side being extremely impatient to even bother waiting for someone to twist the door knob open. 

The door opened to reveal a very unexpected person standing with a bouquet of fresh white orchids and white roses; your favorites. You had a shit eating grin on your face as he stepped inside the room, elegancy dripping with every movement he made. His dark brown hair was gelled back, making his already sharp features stand out even more. The jet black tuxedo was perfect on him, making his look like a walking prince. 

“Renjun,” you call out, barely above a whisper; his name feeling a bit foreign on tongue. “You’re here.”

“I am.” Renjun no longer held that poker face you had despised so much ever since your breakup, joyous grin adorning his face at the sight of you. You look so beautiful, so so beautiful, he thought grinning to himself. Renjun felt his heart squeeze against his ribs, half because of how ethereally beautiful you looked and half because how he wished that it was him you had dolled up for. With light steps he leans forward to your sitting figure, wearing a smile that looked more of a painful one as he placed you the bouquet of flowers he chose for you.

“I am really surprised how you still remembered.” Unlike him, you remained more composed; unfazed by the reunion with your past lover. Your fingertips caressed the white delicate petals that were slightly wet, admiring how beautiful the bunch looked. “Thank you so much, Renjun.” You say to the man, sincerity dripping with every syllables you let out. He was currently sat crouched on the ground, careful not to step on the white laces of your expensive wedding gown.

“Tsk, tsk. Don’t say thank you yet. I still have something else stored for you too.”

“Please give a big round of applause for the most beautiful bride!” Haechan exclaimed, his hands clapping as he motions Jisung to ask the caterers to position the light towards you. Audience stared in awe, you looked like a dream with the white lace dress, your veil trailing behind as the tiara glistened in the soft light. You were glowing.

“On the road that shines exceptionally,” a sweet honey-like voice catches you off guard, momentarily making you halt in your pace as you search for its owner. Renjun stood on the stage just beside the alter, your cousin Mark strumming his guitar while another one of your friends Chenle produced sweet melody on the pianoforte to muse with the vocals. You couldn’tt help but beam at the sight.

“Standing there, I am waiting for you” Just turn around, make me conquer my cowardice. Hold on to me instead of the cold metal chains of the red swing. Will you wait for me if I ask you? Will you wait until I return for you?

“What do you mean?”

Please don’t go yet Y/N, ask me to stay back. Just ask me once and I’ll do it.

“Babe, what are you sa-”

“You heard me right, Y/N.” Please this is not what I want, please see how much I am struggling to let go off you. Just when Renjun was just about to blurt out all his emtoions, his eyes widened at the sight of his father, gawking over him from the top of the stairs right behind you.

“It's not cold When you are in my arms, I can feel the warmth.”

Renjun remained silent, too scared to say something that might end up really fatal for him; for you. “That girl is a distraction for you.” Renjun’s father glowered at the younger, his grip tightening on the loaded pistol residing in his hand. “Cut her off, or I’ll do the favor for you.”

Renjun did what he thought was best. If your safety meant the sacrifice of his love, he would gladly comply so. It wasn’t long that the illegal empire built by his father collasped after his sudden demise; Renjun escaping his worst nightmare at the night of funeral. It was somewhat easy for him to start a new life since he was never exposed to the strings of underworld, fleeing back to China without any trace. He was able to have a fresh start with his desired career : a musician. 

Seeing you smile brightly as the luminescence shining from above created a halo around you, he felt as if he were witnessing an angel that had directly ascended from Heaven. Heavy heart filled with pain, a fresh pool of tears start to form at the corners of his eyes; how he wished it was him standing at the other side of the alter instead of Na Jaemin. 

“You're my everything I want to protect your days and nights You are a miracle to me, I wish you could see it Spreading all over me, a gift called you You’re my night and day Waiting for you in this street, drawing you again.”

this was long I hope i was able to meet a teeny tiny bit of your expectations love  @bluejaem
