I BURN FOR YOU

oscar piastri x black metal vocalist! reader

♡ general dating headcanons for oscar with a black metal vocalist partner!

୨୧ my first f1 headcanons in a little tiny while, i hope they’re okay lol, my birthday is coming up on the 21st and i feel like i’m having a midlife crisis right now so it might not be my best work </3

♡ related smau available here and related hc available here | view my formula 1 masterlist here

reading music recommendations: upon frigid winds by hulder - the oracle by mythic

♡ this relationship is literally sunshine x sunshine protector and you are NOT the sunshine…

୨୧ oscar is the sunshine, obviously! and you’re just the taller, more intimidating, partner who evil eyes anyone looking at your sunshine weird

♡ fans make a LOT of memes and jokes due to just how vastly different you guys are, in both style and personality…

୨୧ a lot of these jokes consist of people insisting he must be paying you to be a form of protection or something due to how uneasy some opposing drivers looks when they see you

♡ he doesn’t at all understand how your throat isn’t ripped to shreds and constantly in pain from the vocals you do! he has a serious amount of respect for you because of it, he thinks you’re SO fucking cool

୨୧ after a concert, he’ll always whisk you off to a local convenience store to buy some slushes for soothing your raw throat <3

♡ if your voice ever sounds majorly scratchy and just kind of weird after a show ( which it usually always does ) he really babies you…

“ love… listen to your voice! it sounds like it hurts to speak, christ… what will i do with you? ” ( you always jokingly roll your eyes as he frets, telling him he’s worse than your mother / father )

୨୧ oscar calls you “ magpie ” due to all of the shiny accessories you collect and wear over time!

♡ he absolutely loves coming with you to do metal magazine photoshoots! whenever he can, he accompanies you and the photographer to some woodland or a historic cemetery to take pictures

୨୧ for once, he doesn’t feel like the celebrity… the photographer never has an interest in taking his picture and he loves it! he just gets to admire you from the sidelines, speaking up to tell you a pose looks nice

♡ and speaking of metal magazines, oscar has ALL of the magazine issues you’ve ever featured in, he has some of the ones you’re covering on in little frames

୨୧ somehow he even has the first magazine you were EVER featured in… you don’t know how the hell he got that because it was years before you guys even knew each other existed, it was out of circulation and super hard to find being resold but he simply tells you he has his ways

♡ oscar is one of the few drivers on the grid i can see actually listening to and liking some black metal bands!

୨୧ he didn’t listen to them before you guys got together but since it’s pretty much all you listen to in the house and car, he found himself getting into it and bobbing his head to the music…

♡ you were SO happy when you noticed this, always nodding at him with a small smile as he gave a slightly shy smile back

“ i like this one, this is darkthrone, right? yeah… this one is good ” ( when he started really remembering and recognising bands, you knew he was the one )

୨୧ he thinks you look so good with corpse paint on!

♡ absolutely loves when you try out different designs for it and ask for his opinion, thinks the grumpy cat type one is so damn cute

୨୧ he’s not a huge fan of how your corpse paint is after a concert though, half melted down your face as you press a sloppy kiss on his lips, transferring most of the paint onto his face as he slightly grimaces at the stickiness

“ you were amazing, love! eugh… right, let’s get this washed off then, yeah? ” ( you usually smirk at him before grabbing his face and smushing it against yours, transferring even more paint as he yells )

♡ you did his corpse paint once, going with a pretty simple design for his first time! he kept smiling as you moved the brush, he was just so happy you were including him in something so special

୨୧ when it was done and he looked in the mirror, he was so awestruck… he swore on everything that is holy ( or unholy, really ) that it’s the coolest he’s ever looked and felt in his entire life <3 and you just think he looks really hot… his corpse paint doesn’t last long as you really can’t hold back the urge to make out with him which leads to his paint smudging all over your face

♡ y’know how someone in a relationship will often “ steal ” their partners clothes?

୨୧ yeah, oscar does this with you… he’s stolen SO many of your band t-shirts :( he just thinks the designs are so good and they smell like you which is a huge plus! you never get mad when he walks by you wearing one though, they suit him

♡ he can’t get enough of watching you get ready for a concert too!

୨୧ he’ll sit on the small couch in your dressing room, eyes shining with admiration and a small smile on his face as he gazes at you, watching you pull on your gauntlets and bullet belt

♡ speaking of gauntlets and bullet belts, he thinks black metal fashion in general is insanely fucking sweet

୨୧ you’re telling him you damn near dress up as a knight? with leather? a sword on your hip? and chain mail? literally the most awesome thing ever to him

“ more leather? you sure, love? it’s quite humid tonight! maybe go for your jeans instead… ” ( you know he’s right but leather is just so much more brutal than jeans )

♡ it fulfils an almost childlike wonder inside of him, you remind him of a fantasy character he would see in a video game and aspire to be like when he was a kid

୨୧ oscar does not like when he hears people stereotype metalheads as greasy, dirty goat fuckers because he knows more than anyone you and your friends are actually super hygienic when it comes to your hair, your hair is always so glossy and soft! he’s always been jealous of yours and your friends hair…

♡ of course you do stuff with pigs blood and stuff but you don’t slaughter the animal yourself! you just get it from a butcher, he hates when people try to paint you and your friends to be cruel and horrible

୨୧ some other drivers on the grid find you to be slightly intimidating… even when you’re not in your full stage outfit you’re usually still pretty dressed up in leather, combat boots, small gauntlets and at least one bullet belt… not to mention you very rarely have a smile on your face!

♡ though when oscar assures them you’re really a super nice person, they start to approach you more!

୨୧ i think lewis would be the most talkative with you, i can just see him having a massive amount of interest and respect for the metal scene <3 he likes asking about your lyric writing process and such, he finds your presence to be calming!

♡ oscar is a VERY good listener, he absolutely loves listening to you talk about the history of black metal and read new lyrics to him

୨୧ y’know books like lords of chaos, the swedish metal story and the death archives? yeah he takes them from your collection to read in his drivers room! his jaw gaping open and numbing “ jesus christ ” under his breath at some of the things written in said books

♡ but he seriously loves to come home to you and talk about what he read! asking you if you’ve ever met some of the people mentioned and what you think of them

୨୧ you showed him varg vikernes’ twitter one time and now it’s kind of routine for you guys to browse it and laugh at it every couple of days… seriously varg, take your meds and put the phone down

♡ when you guys first started dating, you got him to watch until the ligh takes us and oh my god did that documentary change this man’s life

୨୧ he was SO interested in it and wanted to have a in depth conversation about it with you when the credits rolled, he is a chatter box when he finds something interesting!

♡ he recommends the documentary to literally everyone he knows now, he thought it was just amazing <3 he kind of has a major man crush on fenriz now, woah! who said that? not me…

hello ☺️ number 19 for the prompt game please

19. playing with their hands when nervous

Ian likes to fidget. 

The stupid fucker can’t keep still at the best of times, but once he’s hyped up he’s even more insufferable than usual.

It’s one thing when he’s all happy and excited and shit. He’ll tangle and untangle the strings of his jackets and hoodies and shoelaces. He’ll wave his hands around in big gestures. He’ll fiddle with whatever he can get his fucking hands on, including Mickey’s knives, on the rare occasion Mickey leaves them in his reach. He’ll drum out upbeat little tunes with his fingers on countertops and tabletops, on rumpled sheets and dusty concrete floors, on his own skin or on Mickey’s.

It’s different when he’s anxious. He does a lot of the same shit, but like, the evil version. His tapping fingers lack their usual rhythm, turn erratic and loud instead. He’ll be less careful with whatever he’s fiddling with. He’s nicked himself on Mickey’s knives one time too many. He’ll tie knots so tight he can’t get them undone, which only serves to pique his frustration even more. He’ll wrap the strings around his fingers till his skin goes white and red and raw. 

All that shit is annoying, but whatever. Ian puts up with Mickey’s annoyingass habits all the time. Puts up with far fucking worse. Mickey can deal.

This, though, this is where Mickey draws the line.

“Will you fucking stop it?”

“Huh?” Ian glances at Mickey, wide eyed, startled. They're in the dugouts, sprawled out with their backs propped up against the low wall, killing time until they’re ready for round two. Or round three, technically speaking. Whatever.

Mickey reaches out to slap Ian’s hand away from his mouth. “Stop gnawing on your fucking fingers, you freak.”

Ian flushes a bit. Lowers both hands down to his lap. Grips them tight, like he’s trying to keep them in place. “Sorry. Just kinda on edge today.”

“No shit,” Mickey huffs. There’s some shit going on with Ian’s family. There’s always some shit going on with Ian’s family, though, so it’s not that big a deal. Plus, Ian has midterms and ROTC and goddamn Linda breathing down his neck.

Not that Mickey gives a shit.

He sniffs. Swipes at his nose. Peeks over at Ian again. Ian’s keeping his paws outta his mouth, but he’s picking at his fingers instead. There’s already blood welling up on at least two of his nail beds. “Jesus fucking christ,” Mickey mutters, rolling his eyes. He shoves his own hand against Ian’s and leaves it. “There.”

“Uh.” Ian blinks at their hands. Blinks at Mickey. 

Mickey rolls his eyes again. “You wanna fuck up a hand so bad, use mine. I ain’t letting your fingers up my ass if you’ve got open fucking wounds.”

Ian blinks again.

Mickey looks away. Uses his other hand to fumble for his smokes.

Ian takes his hand carefully. Cautiously. He trails his fingertips over Mickey’s skin softly. Mickey shudders. His fingers twitch. He doesn't pull away.

By the time he’s done with his cigarette, Ian’s lost any inhibitions about playing with Mickey’s hand. He’s rubbing at it and squinting at it and gawking at it like it’s the most fascinating thing he’s ever held. Inspecting every winkle, every scar, every pale blue vein. Tugging and twisting and bending Mickey’s fingers. Digging his thumb into the meaty parts of his palm, tracing the lines there with his index finger. “How about you stop squeezing my hand and start squeezing something else instead, huh?”

Ian eagerly complies, earlier nerves miraculously gone.

Mickey hadn’t realized at the time what a huge fucking can of worms he’d opened that night. Hadn’t realized that Ian would seize every opportunity going forward to grab at his hands and use them as his own personal fucking stress ball. His hands quickly become Ian’s favorite thing to fidget with, surpassing strings and knives and everything fucking else.

Years and years and years down the line, Mickey’s hands get a new accessory for Ian to fiddle with: a ring to rub at and spin and press soft, sappy kisses to.

Whatever. Mickey can deal.

The Lights shine brighter when you’re there.

Pairing: Alex Turner x AFAB!reader (but u can read as wtv u want)

Word count:1081 (this ain’t a blurb ts a fic atp😭💀)

Summary: filming for TBHC, 2018 era, super cute fluff shit

Mars rambles abt things: AIGHT SO I NEED THIS MAN TERRIBLY BAD. ESPECIALLY TBHC ALEX😭. Anyways I wrote a cute little fluff fic for the first time in forever bc I had time(FINALLY) anyways I’ll try to write as much as I can.

The set was abuzz with anticipation as Alex Turner prepared to film the music video for his latest album. Surrounded by a team of producers and filming crew, he couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement for this particular project. The album was a supposed to be “a playful tune, super smooth but makes you feel expensive”he said when you asked about it. It carried a personal touch that resonated deeply with him – and he had the perfect person to share the screen with, his girlfriend, you. His most prized possession, something he wants to show off forever.

As the cameras started rolling, the set was transformed into a mesmerizing, eye catching jazz bar. The director, recognizing the unique connection between Alex and you, aimed to capture not just the essence of the song but also the genuine emotion shared between you two. The first scene unfolded in a dimly lit but well decorated jazz bar, the air heavy with the lingering notes of the melody.

Alex, dressed in his signature 70s style, met you in the center of the set, dressed in a tight black dress with a long slit in the side, black heels with gold accessories. There was an unspoken understanding between you two, a silent agreement to let the music guide the movements. As the haunting notes filled the room, you two moved with a fluidity that spoke of a deep, unspoken connection. It was more than just a regular dance; it was a dance of the heart.

The director, observing from behind the monitors, couldn't help but marvel at the chemistry on display. The raw emotion conveyed through his and your expressions painted a vivid picture of love and longing. The first scene wrapped, leaving everyone on set with a sense of anticipation for what was to come.

During a break, Alex and you found a quiet corner to steal a moment away from the commotion. You two shared a deep hug and kiss, acknowledging the magic that was created by you two. As you two broke from the kiss, Alex couldn't help but express his gratitude for having you by his side.

"(Y/N), you brought something special to this video, in fact this whole album – something only you could inspire. It's like the songs, the lyrics, the melodies come to life when you're here, or at home or sitting in the studio waiting for me to wrap up. You are truly the muse for my art." he confessed, his eyes reflecting sincerity.

You grinned and blushed, "Well, I happen to think your music brings out the best in me too, Alex. This is a great masterpiece in every sense."

As the day progressed, the scenes became more diverse, each one telling a different chapter of the song's story. From a rooftop overlooking the casino to a dimly lit jazz bar to the pool setting, the couple seamlessly transitioned from one setting to another, their connection intensifying with each passing frame.

The highlight of the video was a sequence where Alex and you found yourselves dancing under a canopy of fairy lights. The soft glow accentuated the tenderness in your movements, creating a visual poetry that mirrored the song's emotional depth. The crew watched in awe as the couple moved through the enchanting scene, your silhouettes etched against the twinkling lights.

As the day drew to a close, the final scene approached. The director wanted to capture an intimate moment between Alex and you that would serve as the emotional climax of the video. The setting was a quiet, candlelit room – a metaphorical space where their love could unfold without any distractions. A safe haven that hides all troubles and shows your true self to eachother.

The room was adorned with vintage furniture and flickering candles, casting a warm glow on as you two stood face to face. The soft strains of the song echoed in the background, creating a cocoon of intimacy around you. The director, satisfied with the day's work, whispered instructions to the cinematographer, signaling the start of the final scene.

With a subtle nod, the cameras began to roll, capturing the delicate nuances of the couple's expressions. Alex gently reached for your hand, his touch conveying a silent reassurance. His eyes locked, and in that moment, the world outside the set ceased to exist. It was just the two of them, immersed in the emotions the song evoked.

As the lyrics unfolded, Alex sang with a soul-stirring resonance, his voice intertwining with yours in a beautiful harmony. The vulnerability in your eyes told a story of love, heartbreak, and the unspoken promise of togetherness. The director, realizing the magic happening before him, chose to let the scene unfold organically, without interrupting the flow.

The room seemed to disappear, replaced by a realm where only your emotions mattered. Alex's thumb traced gentle circles on your hand, a silent gesture of comfort. Your closeness spoke volumes, transcending the scripted nature of the scene. It was a genuine moment, an unfiltered expression of the love they shared.

As the last notes of the song lingered in the air, the director called for a cut. The crew erupted into applause, acknowledging the authenticity and beauty captured in that final scene. Alex momentarily pulled out of that intimate bubble, shared a knowing smile, proud of the art you two had created together. You couldn’t stop staring at him falling deep in love within each second.

With the filming wrapped, the couple found themselves outside the studio, bathed in the soft glow of the evening. The air was crisp, and the city lights twinkled in the distance. They walked hand in hand, reflecting on the day's journey.

"I can't believe we did it," you exclaimed, your eyes sparkling with a mix of joy and exhaustion. Alex grinned, "It was magical, wasn't it? Having you by my side made it even more special. You’re really a present full of surprises aren’t you"

Later on, after leaving set, you two continued to stroll through the quiet streets, savoring the post-production bliss. The city seemed to have slowed down just for them, allowing them to relish the shared triumph. The music video, a testament to their love and collaboration, was destined to become a visual masterpiece.

Days later, as the video premiered to the world, fans and critics alike were captivated by the palpable chemistry between Alex Turner and you, (Y/N) (L/N). The comments flooded in, praising not only the song but also the genuine connection that elevated the video to a realm beyond ordinary music visuals.

In interviews, Alex and you shared snippets of their experience, emphasizing the organic nature of the collaboration. The music video, now a symbol of their artistic minds, resonated with audiences on a profound level, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts of those who watched it.

As the applause echoed and the views skyrocketed, Alex couldn't help but feel a sense of fulfillment. His journey- no Your journey together, from the studio to the screen, had not only produced a beautiful piece of art but had also strengthened the bond between eachother. The music video became a cherished chapter in your love story, a visual representation of the magic that happens when two hearts beat in perfect harmony.

Grunge Glow: The Secret to Achieving That Effortlessly Cool Indie Sleaze Look

Hey, gorgeous! 🌸 Ready to dive into the world of barely-there makeup, tousled hair, and those skincare secrets that make you look like you woke up flawless? Welcome to Grunge Glow, where we’re all about channeling that effortlessly cool vibe of the indie sleaze icons. Whether you’re going for that “I just rolled out of bed” look or you want to master the art of no-makeup makeup, I’ve got all the deets you need to achieve that perfect grungy glow. So, grab your favorite lip balm, maybe a cup of tea, and let’s get into it! 🎧✨

The Indie Sleaze Beauty Aesthetic: Effortless, Cool, and Just a Little Messy 🌟

Let’s set the scene: You’re at a concert in some dive bar, your hair is tousled from dancing all night, and your makeup looks like it’s naturally melted into your skin – in the best way possible. That’s the essence of indie sleaze beauty – it’s raw, it’s real, and it’s all about embracing your natural beauty with a bit of an edge. Forget about perfection; this is about enhancing what you’ve got and keeping it low-key but chic.

1. Barely-There Makeup: The Art of Looking Effortlessly Cool 🖤

The key to nailing the grunge glow look? It’s all about that barely-there makeup – the kind that makes it look like you didn’t try at all (even if you spent a good 20 minutes getting it just right). Here’s how to get the look:

Skin First, Always: Indie sleaze icons are all about glowing, healthy skin. Start with a lightweight, dewy foundation or tinted moisturizer that lets your skin shine through. The goal is to look like you’re not wearing any makeup at all. If you’ve got some imperfections (who doesn’t?), just dab on a bit of concealer where you need it and call it a day. Remember, imperfections are part of the charm!

Lived-In Eyes: The classic indie sleaze eye look is all about that smudgy, lived-in vibe. Use a soft kohl pencil to line your eyes, then smudge it out with your finger for that perfectly imperfect look. Skip the mascara if you’re feeling super grunge, or go for a light coat if you want a bit more definition. The goal is to look like you just rolled out of bed after an amazing night out.

Natural Lips: Keep the lips simple and natural – think tinted lip balm or a swipe of sheer nude lipstick. You want your lips to look soft and kissable, like you’ve just been making out with your favorite indie frontman. 😉

A Touch of Highlighter: Just a hint of highlighter on your cheekbones and the bridge of your nose can give you that lit-from-within glow without looking too done. The key is to keep it subtle – you’re going for a natural sheen, not a full-on disco ball.

2. Tousled Hair: The Perfectly Messy Mane 🕶️

When it comes to indie sleaze hair, the messier, the better. Think tousled waves, bedhead chic, and just a hint of rockstar rebellion. Here’s how to get that effortlessly tousled look:

Texture Is Everything: Start with a texturizing spray or sea salt spray to give your hair that lived-in, gritty texture. Spritz it all over damp or dry hair, then scrunch it with your hands for that perfectly undone look.

Embrace the Mess: Don’t worry about getting every strand in place – the whole point is to look like you didn’t try too hard. If you’ve got natural waves or curls, let them do their thing. If your hair is naturally straight, you can use a curling wand to add some loose waves, then mess them up with your fingers for that undone vibe.

Skip the Brush: Seriously, put it down. Indie sleaze hair is all about that imperfect, slightly wild look, so embrace the tangles and let your hair do its thing. If you need to, just use your fingers to smooth out any major knots, but keep the overall look messy and carefree.

Top It Off with a Beanie or Hat: If you’re having an especially messy hair day (or just want to add a little extra edge), throw on a beanie or a wide-brimmed hat. It’s the ultimate indie accessory and adds that extra bit of “I’m too cool to care” to your look.

3. Skincare Secrets: The Glow Behind the Grunge 🌞

You know those indie sleaze icons always seemed to have that effortless glow, right? Well, it wasn’t just about the makeup – good skincare is the foundation of any great look. Here’s how to keep your skin glowing, even when you’re embracing your inner grunge goddess:

Keep It Simple: The indie sleaze skincare routine is all about simplicity. Stick to the basics: a gentle cleanser, a hydrating toner, and a lightweight moisturizer that gives your skin that dewy, fresh-faced look. If you’ve got oily skin, opt for a mattifying moisturizer to keep the shine under control.

Hydration Is Key: Indie sleaze mornings might be chaotic, but your skin doesn’t have to be. Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated and glowing from within. And don’t forget to apply a hydrating serum or face mist throughout the day if your skin needs a little pick-me-up.

Nighttime Nourishment: After a long night out (or just a lazy day at home), make sure you’re giving your skin some love before bed. Use a gentle exfoliator a few times a week to keep your skin smooth and clear, and don’t forget to apply a rich, nourishing night cream or facial oil to lock in moisture while you sleep. Your skin will thank you in the morning!

Embrace Imperfections: Just like with makeup, the indie sleaze skincare philosophy is all about embracing what makes you unique. Got a few blemishes or uneven skin texture? Own it. Indie sleaze is all about confidence and individuality, so don’t stress about looking perfect. Your natural beauty is what makes you stand out.

Final Thoughts, Gorgeous: Glow Like an Indie Sleaze Icon 🌟

There you have it – the secrets to achieving that perfectly grungy, effortlessly cool glow that defined the indie sleaze scene. Whether you’re rocking barely-there makeup, tousled hair, or just embracing your natural beauty, remember that the key to indie sleaze style is confidence. It’s about being yourself, embracing the chaos, and not worrying too much about the details.

So next time you’re getting ready for a night out (or just a chill day at home), channel your inner indie icon and let that grunge glow shine through. Because at the end of the day, it’s not about looking perfect – it’s about looking like the coolest, most effortlessly chic version of yourself.

Yield to No One

(WARNING: contains minor descriptions of a burn wound and implications of past and current abuse.)

Under the red glow of his little floating fireball, Arden stared at his reflection in the mirror and the ring of patchy, blistery, and raw-red flesh wrapped around his neck.

With a flick of his fingers, he cast the ointment-stained bandages that’d been covering it just moments before away into one of the many darkened corners of his cabin. The firelight from his little fireball didn’t extend far, and the moonlight shimmering through the cracked window nearby wasn’t any help for this nightly ritual. Several weeks now of cleaning the burn wound, applying the salve, and re-wrapping it gently made his motions rote and thoughtless - something he’d normally appreciate for a little while, then hate and strive for something else to engage his brain, but…

Well, he can’t get away from this, and the mindlessness of this routine forced him to contemplate his new reality.

__________________________________________

The verdict had been cast, and he’d been brought before a high-ranking Maelstrom sergeant he’d soon become very familiar with, flanked by two soldiers several ranks higher than himself. The Elezen man seated behind the desk had his feet up on said desk, on top of papers that were surely important, and was spinning a dull silver band in his hands the size of a small salad plate.

“So, Private Reis,” the sergeant drawled, pinning his golden stare on him. “You’re not fighting your sentence?”

Was he expecting rebellion? Fury and rage and spit? Arden inwardly scoffed. “I’m not, Sergeant.”

“What a surprise. I heard you were full of fire and vim and vigor!” A low chuckle rolled through the man, and something deep in Arden’s gut recoiled at it. “Why, I was expecting you to slash and burn your way through headquarters! It certainly would’ve been an exciting prospect, fighting for my life against you. The ‘you’ of the reports I’ve read, at least.”

Arden tilted his head very slightly. Ah. He can guess what those reports were about. “Regardless of my…history, Sergeant, I’m a soldier through and through. I take responsibility fer my actions and don’t fight my due punishment. I could’ve been dropped from the force and thrown out onto the streets.”

The Sergeant gave him a sly grin. “Oh, you could’ve, yes. And you still can.” Uncrossing his spindly legs, he rose from his seat, still spinning that band in his hands like a toy as he stepped out from behind his desk. “Buuut, I can’t deny that I’m sad I won’t have an Ala Mhigan firecracker on my team. I was looking forward to succeeding where the others couldn’t, and breaking you.”

As the man came to tower over him, Arden tried his best to force his expression to remain blank and ‘polite’. Kept it still and placid as he crouched down to meet his eyes, even as he reached up with one hand to brush the strands of red hair back and away from his neck.

Yet, as soon as the cold metal of silver band wrapped around his neck, he felt something in his expression shift -

And the man smiled. “But you’re already broken, aren’t you?”

__________________________________________

Arden stared at the burned band of flesh around his neck and grimaced.

That…thing was supposed to be temporary. Prove his worth and loyalty to the Maelstrom, do whatever they needed him to do, then get it taken off when they felt they could trust him again. But now, thanks to his ingenious brainlessness, that collar was practically branded on him for life now.

Wonderful, Arden. Perfect. Not only did his famous impulsivity get him stuck in this mess in the first place, it also nearly shocked him to death by having him join the fight against a Dalamud-corrupted lightning sprite in nothing but a cloth spellweaver’s gown and a shite ton of metal accessories. He’s lucky the collar didn’t get fused to his skin outright.

He gnawed on his lower lip and tasted blood. 

He really needed to stop doing that. 

Needed to stop…all of this.

But he couldn’t, could he? It was simply his nature.

Pressing his lips together, Arden dipping two fingers into the burn salve jar and began his nightly routine anew. With enough dedication, he had to hope the patchy, seared skin would eventually disappear.

In the process of agricultural modernization, choosing the right fertilizer granulator is crucial to improve production efficiency and reduce costs. This article will provide you with a practical selection guide to help you find the most suitable fertilizer granulation equipment from Fertilizer Granules Compaction Machine, Rotary Drum Granulator and Disc Granulator according to your farm needs.

1. Identify production needs

First, you need to determine the size of your farm's production and the type of fertilizer.

Rolling Towards Independence: Exploring Wheelchair Hire Services

When mobility becomes a challenge, the world can seem to shrink in size. Everyday tasks and extraordinary adventures alike may suddenly feel out of reach. However, the right support can open doors, and one such empowering resource is a wheelchair. 

Whether it's for a short-term recovery or to facilitate a travel adventure, wheelchair hire offers a practical, flexible, and cost-effective solution for those in need.

The Practicality 

One of the primary advantages of a wheelchair is its practicality. Purchasing a wheelchair can be a significant investment, particularly for short-term needs. For individuals recovering from surgery, experiencing a temporary mobility issue, or planning a one-time event, hiring a wheelchair makes financial sense. It eliminates the need for a long-term commitment and the associated maintenance costs.

Furthermore, wheelchair services provide a range of options to suit various needs. From standard manual wheelchairs to advanced electric models, the choice is vast. This variety ensures that users can find the perfect fit for their specific requirements, enhancing comfort and mobility.

Travel Freedom

Travelling with limited mobility can be daunting, but wheelchair makes the world more accessible. Many wheelchair services offer the convenience of delivery and pick-up at airports, hotels, or even specific destinations, making it easier for travellers to enjoy their journey without worrying about transporting their own mobility equipment.

Imagine planning a holiday to a picturesque coastal town or a bustling city without the burden of figuring out how to carry your wheelchair. With a wheelchair, you can land at your destination with peace of mind, knowing that mobility assistance will be ready and waiting for you. This service not only enhances the travel experience but also provides a sense of independence and confidence.

Customised Solutions for Special Events

Special events, whether they are weddings, conferences, or family gatherings, often necessitate increased accessibility. Wheelchair disability equipment NZ can cater to these needs by providing high-quality, reliable mobility solutions for guests who may require them. By hiring wheelchairs, event organisers can ensure that all attendees, regardless of mobility challenges, can participate fully in the occasion.

Moreover, many hire services offer customisation options, including accessories like cushions, armrests, and footrests, to ensure maximum comfort. This thoughtful approach to mobility not only accommodates physical needs but also demonstrates a commitment to inclusivity.

Long-term Benefits of Temporary Solutions

While wheelchair hire is often associated with short-term needs, it can also serve as a valuable resource for those considering a long-term investment in a wheelchair. Trying out different models through hire services allows individuals to test various features and determine which options best suit their lifestyle and preferences before committing to a purchase. This trial period can be crucial in making an informed decision that will impact daily life for years to come.

Additionally, wheelchair can be a lifeline during unexpected situations. Whether it's a sudden injury or a temporary loss of mobility due to illness, having access to a hire service ensures that mobility and independence are maintained during challenging times.

Environmental and Economic Considerations

Choosing wheelchair over purchase has environmental benefits as well. By renting, individuals contribute to a reduction in the demand for new wheelchairs, which in turn decreases the consumption of raw materials and energy used in manufacturing. This approach promotes sustainability and aligns with a growing trend towards eco-friendly practices.

Economically, the wheelchair can be a cost-effective solution, particularly for those who may not have the financial resources to purchase a new wheelchair outright. By offering affordable rental options, hire services make mobility solutions accessible to a wider range of people, promoting equality and inclusivity.

Finding the Right Service

When looking for a disability equipment NZ service, it's important to consider a few key factors. First, assess the range of available equipment to ensure it meets your specific needs. Look for services that offer flexibility in rental periods and clear, upfront pricing without hidden fees. Reading reviews and testimonials can provide insight into the reliability and customer service of the hire company.

Additionally, consider the convenience of delivery and pick-up options, especially if you are planning to travel. A reputable wheelchair service will provide detailed information and support to help you make an informed choice.

Embracing Mobility and Independence

In a world where mobility is key to freedom and independence, a wheelchair stands out as a versatile and valuable service. It empowers individuals to overcome temporary or long-term mobility challenges with dignity and ease. By offering practical, flexible, and cost-effective solutions, wheelchair opens up new possibilities for movement, travel, and participation in life’s many adventures.

Final Thoughts

Whether you're recovering from an injury, planning a trip, or exploring options for long-term use, the wheelchair can provide the support you need to navigate the world with confidence. So, why let mobility challenges hold you back? Embrace the freedom that wheelchair hire can offer and roll towards a future filled with independence and adventure.

Mastering Model Photography: Techniques and Tips

Model photography is an art that combines technical skills with creativity to capture the essence of a person in an image. Whether you’re shooting for fashion, portraits, or editorial work, understanding the techniques behind model photography can help you produce stunning images that stand out. This comprehensive guide will cover the essential equipment, lighting setups, posing tips, and post-processing techniques needed to master model photography.

The Importance of Model Photography Model photography plays a crucial role in various industries, including fashion, advertising, and entertainment. High-quality images can enhance a brand’s image, attract customers, and tell a compelling story. For models, professional photographs are essential for building a portfolio that showcases their versatility and talent. Whether you’re working with seasoned professionals or new models, capturing their best angles and expressions is key to creating impactful images.

Essential Equipment for Model Photography Cameras A good camera is the foundation of any successful photoshoot. While DSLRs and mirrorless cameras are preferred due to their high resolution, manual controls, and interchangeable lenses, you can achieve excellent results with high-end smartphones as well. When selecting a camera, consider factors such as sensor size, resolution, and the ability to shoot in RAW format for greater post-processing flexibility.

Lenses The right lens can make a significant difference in the quality of your photos. Prime lenses, such as the 50mm and 85mm, are popular choices for portrait and model photography due to their sharpness and ability to create a beautiful bokeh effect. Zoom lenses, like the 24–70mm, offer versatility and allow you to quickly change framing without moving the camera. Macro lenses can be useful for capturing intricate details and close-up shots.

Lighting Equipment Lighting is one of the most critical aspects of model photography. Natural light can be beautiful, but studio lighting provides more control and consistency. Essential lighting equipment includes:

Softboxes and Umbrellas: These diffuse light, creating soft, flattering illumination. Ring Lights: Popular for beauty and fashion photography, ring lights provide even lighting with a unique catchlight in the eyes. LED Panels: Offer adjustable color temperature and brightness for precise control. Reflectors and Diffusers: Used to bounce and soften light, reducing harsh shadows. Tripods and Supports A sturdy tripod ensures stability and allows for precise composition. It’s especially useful for long exposure shots and when using heavy lenses. Additionally, consider using a monopod or a camera stabilizer for more dynamic shooting conditions.

Backgrounds and Props Backgrounds can range from seamless paper rolls in various colors to textured backdrops for adding depth and interest. Props can help tell a story or add context to your images. Choose props that complement the model and the overall theme of the shoot without overpowering the subject.

Other Accessories Remote Shutter Release: Prevents camera shake when taking photos. Light Meter: Helps measure the amount of light to ensure correct exposure. Tethering Cable: Allows you to connect your camera to a computer for real-time viewing and adjustments. Setting Up the Shoot Choosing the Location The location sets the tone for your photoshoot. Whether you’re shooting in a studio or on location, make sure the setting complements the theme and the model’s wardrobe. For outdoor shoots, consider factors like the time of day, weather, and natural light conditions.

Preparing the Model Communicate with the model beforehand to discuss the concept, wardrobe, and makeup. Encourage them to practice poses and expressions that fit the theme. On the day of the shoot, ensure they are comfortable and confident, as this will reflect in the photos.

Lighting Setup The lighting setup can dramatically affect the mood and quality of your photos. Here are some common setups for model photography:

Three-Point Lighting: This classic setup includes a key light (main source), fill light (to reduce shadows), and backlight (to separate the model from the background). Butterfly Lighting: Named for the butterfly-shaped shadow under the nose, this setup uses a single light source placed directly in front and above the model. Rembrandt Lighting: Characterized by a triangular highlight on the cheek, this setup creates a dramatic and classic look. Clamshell Lighting: Uses two lights placed at 45-degree angles above and below the model to create soft, even lighting. Experiment with different setups to find the one that best suits your vision.

Capturing the Perfect Shot Camera Settings Adjust your camera settings to achieve the best results. Here are some key considerations:

Aperture: A wide aperture (low f-number) creates a shallow depth of field, isolating the model from the background. For group shots, use a narrower aperture to keep everyone in focus. Shutter Speed: Use a fast shutter speed to freeze motion, especially if the model is moving. For creative effects, such as motion blur, use a slower shutter speed. ISO: Keep the ISO as low as possible to reduce noise. Increase it only if necessary in low light conditions. White Balance: Set the white balance according to the lighting conditions to ensure accurate colors. Posing and Directing the Model Effective posing is crucial for flattering and dynamic images. Here are some tips for directing the model:

Relaxation: Encourage the model to relax and breathe naturally. Tension in the body or face can be noticeable in photos. Angles: Experiment with different angles to find the most flattering view. Shooting slightly from above can elongate the neck and enhance facial features. Expressions: Guide the model to convey the desired emotion or story through their expressions. Subtle changes in the eyes, mouth, and posture can make a big difference. Body Language: Pay attention to the model’s body language. Small adjustments, such as shifting weight to one leg or tilting the head, can improve the pose. Interaction: If shooting multiple models, direct them to interact naturally. Genuine interactions create more engaging and relatable images. Composition Techniques Composition is the art of arranging elements within the frame. Use these techniques to create visually appealing images:

Rule of Thirds: Divide the frame into thirds horizontally and vertically. Place the model along these lines or at the intersections for balanced and dynamic compositions. Leading Lines: Use lines within the scene to guide the viewer’s eye towards the model. Framing: Frame the model using elements in the environment, such as windows, doors, or natural surroundings, to add depth and context. Negative Space: Incorporate negative space around the model to create a sense of simplicity and focus. Post-Processing Techniques Editing is an essential part of the photography process. Use post-processing software to enhance your images while maintaining a natural look.

Basic Adjustments Start with basic adjustments to correct exposure, contrast, and color balance. Ensure the skin tones are accurate and the highlights and shadows are well-balanced.

Retouching Retouching involves removing imperfections and enhancing the model’s features. Here are some common retouching techniques:

Skin Smoothing: Use tools like the healing brush or clone stamp to remove blemishes and even out skin tone. Be careful not to overdo it, as overly smooth skin can look unnatural. Dodge and Burn: Enhance the model’s features by selectively lightening (dodging) and darkening (burning) areas. This technique adds depth and dimension to the image. Teeth Whitening and Eye Enhancement: Subtly whiten teeth and enhance the eyes to make them pop. Advanced Editing For more advanced editing, consider these techniques:

Frequency Separation: This technique separates the texture and color information, allowing you to retouch skin without losing details. Liquify Tool: Use the liquify tool to make minor adjustments to the model’s body shape or facial features. Be subtle to avoid unrealistic results. Color Grading: Adjust the overall color tone of the image to create a specific mood or style. Final Touches After retouching, add any final touches to enhance the image. This may include sharpening, adding a vignette, or applying a slight grain for a film-like effect.

Creative Techniques and Tips Using Props and Wardrobe Props and wardrobe play a significant role in telling a story and adding context to your images. Choose items that complement the model and the theme of the shoot. Experiment with different outfits and accessories to create variety.

Capturing Motion Incorporate motion to add dynamism to your photos. This can be achieved through techniques such as:

Panning: Follow a moving subject with your camera while using a slow shutter speed to create a sense of motion. Hair and Fabric Movement: Use fans or ask the model to move their hair or clothing to capture natural movement. Experimenting with Perspectives Change your perspective to create unique and interesting compositions. Shoot from high or low angles, or through objects to add depth and dimension.

Utilizing Natural Elements Incorporate natural elements like sunlight, water, or foliage to enhance your photos. Use the golden hour (the hour after sunrise and before sunset) for soft, warm lighting.

Common Challenges and Solutions Managing Difficult Lighting Harsh or uneven lighting can be challenging. Use diffusers to soften harsh light and reflectors to fill in shadows. Adjust your camera settings to handle tricky lighting conditions.

Working with Inexperienced Models If your model is inexperienced, take the time to guide them through poses and expressions. Show them reference images and offer positive reinforcement to boost their confidence.

Handling Weather Conditions For outdoor shoots, unpredictable weather can be a challenge. Have a backup plan in case of rain or extreme conditions. Be flexible and ready to adapt your shoot to the environment.

Maintaining Consistency Ensure consistency in your images by standardizing your lighting setups, camera settings, and post-processing techniques. This is especially important for creating a cohesive portfolio or series of images.

Showcasing Your Work Building a Portfolio A well-organized portfolio is essential for showcasing your skills and attracting clients. Include a variety of images to demonstrate your versatility. Highlight your best work and regularly update your portfolio with new images.

Online Presence Create a professional website to display your portfolio. Use social media platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and Pinterest to share your work and connect with potential clients. Engage with your audience by posting behind-the-scenes content, tutorials, and tips.

Networking Attend industry events, join photography groups, and collaborate with other photographers and models. Networking can lead to new opportunities and valuable connections.

Measuring Success and Continuous Improvement Tracking Performance Use analytics tools to track the performance of your online presence. Monitor metrics such as engagement rates, website traffic, and client inquiries to gauge your success.

Seeking Feedback Request feedback from clients and peers to identify areas for improvement. Constructive criticism can help you refine your techniques and deliver better results.

Staying Updated Stay informed about the latest trends and techniques in model photography. Subscribe to industry publications, follow influential photographers, and continuously experiment with new ideas.

Continuous Learning Invest in your education by taking online courses, attending workshops, and reading books on photography. Platforms like Udemy, Coursera, and CreativeLive offer valuable resources for photographers at all levels.

Conclusion Mastering model photography requires a blend of technical skills, creativity, and continuous learning. By understanding the importance of high-quality images, setting up effective lighting, guiding your model, and employing post-processing techniques, you can create stunning photographs that capture the essence of your subject. Showcase your work through a professional portfolio and online presence, and continuously seek feedback and opportunities for improvement. With dedication and practice, you can excel in the art of model photography and produce images that make a lasting impact.

 How Fasteners Manufacturing is Done at Fasteners & Fixtures LLP

Fasteners find applications in multiple industries. These versatile accessories have made great headway in the engineering sector. The durability and success of the project utilizing fasteners depend on their selection and manufacturing process. While we can control the selection aspect, the only way to guarantee a quality manufacturing process is by opting for a reputed fastener manufacturer. Choosing a fastener manufacturer and supplier like Fasteners & Fixtures LLP ensures you get high-quality products that utilize advanced manufacturing processes and aid you in fastener selection with the help of their experts. The following article explains fastener manufacturing.

Fastener manufacturing

Fasteners like screws, nuts and bolts, washers, and more are available in different designs and material options. These fastening elements utilize round bar stock or coiled wires made of materials like alloy steel, brass, bronze, titanium alloys, aluminum alloys, nickel alloys, and more. 

The fastener manufacturing processes fall into three types:

Hot forging

Cold forging

Machining

The process selection is per their types and raw materials. Cold forging is one of the commonly used fastener manufacturing processes. 

Hot forging

This process is essential for manufacturing bolts, especially ones with large diameters (thread size: M36 and above and length 300 mm plus). It involves heating the metal stock bar to a high temperature, making the metal malleable. The metal passes through the forging press. The temperature depends on the material, tolerance, and shape. Hot forging helps manufacture complex shapes. This process is best for manufacturing nickel-based alloy fasteners and titanium alloy fasteners. The structure of the fasteners manufactured using the hot forging process is raw. However, this process also takes up time. 

Cold forging

It uses high speed for manufacturing fasteners with a high surface finish and great mechanical properties. Moreover, the process also provides additional benefits over machining or hot forging, like hardening. The plastic deformation during cold forging undergoes major changes, leading to resistant and strong fasteners. The process produces finished fasteners with great mechanical and physical properties. However, cold forging also has limitations, when manufacturing large-diameter fasteners requiring high pressing force for shaping the parts.

Machining

This process involves cutting into the metal until you achieve the desired size and shape using a material-removing process. Machining processes are perfect for fasteners manufactured in small quantities and non-standard fasteners. 

Additional processes 

Fasteners also undergo additional processing to improve their look and properties. Some of the processes involve:

Heat treatments

Fasteners that undergo heat treatments have high durability, like bolts or screws. Some of the common heat treatments involve:

Tempering for reducing excessive brittleness or hardness of nuts and bolts. 

The hardening process is essential for hardening fasteners like screws or bolts. 

Surface finishing processes

These processes are essential for improving the fastener's look or function. They are also important for altering their surface, especially for stainless steel bolts and screws. Some of the top processes involve: 

The grinding process involves the use of a grinder for eliminating imperfections from stainless steel screws and making their surface smooth, flat, or reflective.

Knurling involves using a lathe to create angled, straight, or crossed lines on the fastener metal.

Reaming or Burnishing involves passing a tool along the fastener body with a sliding movement to improve the surface finish.

Rolling or thread-forming 

These processes are used for stainless bolts and S.S. screws, as they require threading. Rolling or thread forming is essential for cutting threads in the fastener's interior and exterior. The process uses thread rolling dies for forming different thread sizes and involves placing the die against the fastener surface and moving the fastener in a circular motion, creating precise threads.

Protective coating

It involves coating the fasteners like stud bolts or hex screws in protective layers to prevent rusting, corrosion, or improving their aesthetics.

Final thoughts 

The above article explains the fastener manufacturing process and additional treatments fasteners undergo to improve their properties. Fasteners & Fixtures LLP produces high-quality products that undergo rigorous testing. The company is a leading fastener manufacturer in Mumbai, India. As a top fastener supplier in Mumbai, they feature fasteners like Stainless Steel 304 fasteners like stainless steel screws, stainless steel bolts and nuts, rivets, anchor bolts, and more.

How to Cook Pizza on a Wood Barbecue Grill

When it comes to the tried and tested classics that make their way to the barbecue every summer, we are all familiar with the art of flipping burgers and turning corn or chicken wings, but let’s not forget that there is much more variety to be enjoyed when you have a few tips and tricks up your sleeve. For the griller who doesn’t mind experimenting a little, there are many. Many things you can cook on a  grill and some are quite surprising, especially on a wood barbecue grill.

What about Pizza?

It might not immediately come to mind as a natural fit for the grill, but the truth is that pizza is a perfect choice for outdoor summer cooking, and we want to teach you exactly how to do it! Here are some pointers for how to cook pizza on a wood barbecue grill.

Set Up Your Grill

The first thing to do is make sure that your grill is primed and ready for pizza making. Confirm that you have a thermostat and a working lid, and place two large bricks on either side of the grill to create a more focused spot for heat in the middle. Preheat the grill to between 550 and 600 degrees and give it at least 15 minutes to get to the ideal temperature.

Roll Your Dough

Place one 1 pound of pizza dough on a lightly floured surface and roll it outwards in a circle with a diameter of about 12 inches. Pick any toppings that you prefer, and make sure that you slice them all into consistent pieces with the same thickness. This ensures they are much more evenly cooked. Some of the best toppings include peppers, onions, tomatoes, mushrooms, pepperoni, sausage and chicken. But, you really can use anything (even the controversial pineapple, if you must). Cook the raw ingredients like meat and seafood before adding them to your pizza.

Cook Your Pizza

Place your naked pizza onto a peel or baking sheet, and then brush the dough with oil and sauce and cook the base on the grill for a few minutes. Once it has started to cook, you can then add cheese and the rest of your toppings.. Cooking the base first will ensure that you don’t end up with a soggy bottom. At the right temperature, you should aim to cook your pizza for about 3 to 5 minutes to make it perfect.

Eat Your Pizza!

And finally, your pizza is ready to eat! Slice it up into quarters to leave a good chunk for each portion, and make sure to eat it while it’s hot to get the optimum cheese pull with each bite!

Wood Barbecue for Your Pizza Night

If you are interested in upgrading any of your barbecue equipment or accessories for this summer season, then don’t hesitate to browse the Knotty Wood Barbecue Company website. Check out all the various items that we have on offer, a full and wide range that will satisfy the needs of any barbecue lover out there.
