Francois K and Wave Music Playlist

NYC’s Wave Music is a legendary dance music label. The versatile imprint released everything from glorious vocal House winners to Techy thumpers. Wave Music was founded in 1995 by Axis Studios boss François Kevorkian. By this stage, FK was already a remix extraordinaire, who had helped shape the path of Disco and the post-Disco era. He remixed everyone from Diana Ross to Kraftwerk and worked as an A&R for Prelude.

As he told Bill Brewster and Frank Broughton of DJ History (in 1998/1999), he had become disillusioned by his previous A&R life, where labels wanted hits and you couldn’t really put out the music you wanted. This is what he told DJ History about the start of Wave Music, “I always felt that music was really deep inside me. It was a very magical thing; it was a very mystical thing. And it’s not something you f*ck with. Since nobody wanted to release what I liked, I figured I might as well just put it out myself. So I thought it was the right time to start a label.”

Live Stems Mix of Gino Soccio's iconic track "Dancer"

francois k takes the stems for these tracks and does live mixes with them. look for video of them ... they're around. really fun to watch him dice things up and arrange them on the fly

i was tuning in regularly to his livestreams during lockdown. so wonderful having him float through my apt for hours at a time. unfortunately a lot of those mixes get trashed by twitch because of copyright issues. some of the unclipped sets are on his soundcloud

green is the fresh emblem of well founded hope. in blue the spirit can wander, but in green it can rest

List of Canonically Trans/gnc Characters

My own list in this post is anime, manga, games mostly but in the spreadsheet you can add anything.

Following my tierlist of them, I realized I should make a public list so theyre not just kept in my head, since I spent quite a while finding these characters. If you want to watch/play anything with trans or gnc characters, you can use this list.

They range from good rep to bad, characters viewed as "traps" or not taken seriously to ones that the whole fandom understands is trans. I've added trigger warnings to the characters and fandoms I know can be triggering. I've also put certain names in bold to show that they're a main character, but i've only watched a few on this list so some are missing.

I would add trigger warnings for "bury your gays" and similar tropes, but I want to avoid spoilers. Maybe you can look it up first if you're worried. I've tried to exclude characters that are referred to as hermaphrodites.

The "crossdressers" section obviously includes some spoilers.

Enjoy :D

Event Flyer Roll Call

A visual gallery of selected events, for the current month

[windsweptinred]

"Notable predecessors of the Raven are Lucien, who was the first Raven, and Aristeas of Marmora, Jessamy, Francois, Jehuda, Vivien, Ming-Ti, Dechtire, and Hatshepsut. After Matthew, Daniel enlists Tethys, a deep-sea creature who had dreamed of the surface world,to serve him as a White Raven."

Wait, wait, wait, back up.. Hatshepsut. THE Hatshepsut! Egyptian female Pharoah BAMF. What the flip did that relationship play like?!

Dream: Hatshepsut tell Lucienne...

Hatshepsut: You may address me as Your Majesty or Ruler of Rulers.

Dream: I am your Master..

Hatshepsut: I've felled lesser men then you, you stroppy little sand kitten!

Dream: You will address me with respect!

Hatshepsut: You'll earn it you scant shadow of an obelisk.

Dream:.... Would the Foremost of Noble Ladies be inclined to deliver a message to Lucienne?

Hatshepsut: With greatest possible respects, from one monarch to another... Go f**K yourself... Sir.

Can we get her out of the Raven retirement home to be Hob's raven? The actual savagery of that tag team would be beyond the realms of brilliant!

Dream: Hob, my guiding light. I know I said you could choose any raven. But must it be that one?

Hob: Are you joking Dream, she's a feminist icon. A wonder of her times. It's truly my privilege and honour!

Hatshepsut: Thank you for your humbling words most kind and wise love of the Dream King.

Dream: Greetings Hatshepsut

Hatshepsut: If it isn't the very essence of Ras rays himself! Descended from on high to illuminate my life once more with his bright and glorious disposition.

Dream: (Looks at Hob) Are you smirking?

Hob: (Blatantly smirking) You wound me love. Ofcourse not.

Hatshepsut: (Identical smirk in Egyptian girl boss raven.)

Hiyaa i just stumbled onto your blog and i was wondering if i could request a Senku x female reader, (who is also Chrome's younger sister and herbalist of the village)

I was hoping i could request something like the last evening before Senku and the others are going on seatravel?

(i havent read the manga and dont k ow whats gonna happen, so i dont think of this as spoiling?)

And like, Senku and reader has been close, aware of their feelings but not official? And the night before their travel, Senku finds reader working till late in the night as she is working on a little sent off gift? Maybe the silly pirate hat from the trailer idk xD

And the Senku realizes he hasnt even asked/invited her to join their travel? Like he simply expected her to be there so he forgot to ask/invite her personally? So reader thought it wasnt necessary for her to come etc etc

This headcanon has been living in my mind ever since i read 'overworking s.o'

Also, im sorry if this request is too long or too detailed ^^'

hiya anon! thank you so much for your request and patience!

warnings: implied minor manga spoilers!

You probably weren’t needed on this trip.

You were a talented herbalist in your village, responsible for many of the medicine practices in Ishigami Village. Like your brother, you were known for being a good explorer and a collector of things. You stored herbs and other plants in Chrome’s storage house along with his other minerals.

You were not only Ruri’s friend but doctor for many years. When she was ill, you did everything you could to help cure her of her sickness. Like Chrome, you experimented with different plants and other natural resources in hopes that they could help your friend, even if it was in the slightest. You were the one who brought up the idea that regular spring water bathes could be beneficial to subsiding the effects of her condition. 

When a strange boy your age named Senku came along your village, you instantly took a liking to him for his deep enthusiasm and knowledge. He revealed himself to be one of the many stone statues scattered across the land you grew up exploring, the result of a mysterious attack on society thousands of years prior. His extensive knowledge of the world, and most importantly of medicine, was astonishing. You wanted to learn everything you could from this man of the past.

And Senku shared a similar sentiment with you. He was fascinated by and drawn to your work, your collection and findings. Though they were basic knowledge for him, as a person who lacked the scientific resources he had growing up, your discoveries were impressive. Not only that, but he was impressed with your incredible talent and creativity.

You were definitely not one to be underestimated. There was good reason why you were the herbalist of your village. Even though Senku’s knowledge of medicine surpassed your own, he still heavily consulted with you and valued your input in his plans. From what you’ve learned as an explorer, a healer, and from creating the sulfa drug under Senku’s instruction, your skill and talent grew exceptionally.

Though you were recognized as an important member of the Kingdom of Science due to your skill, knowledge and creativity, you most likely weren’t needed on the Kingdom of Science’s journey across the globe. The more engineers the better, which is why your brother is an obvious choice in most people's minds. Though both you and Chrome were innovative and fast learners, Chrome excelled at both, and was even better at keeping up with Senku’s scientific conversations. Senku and even Francois would qualify as even better doctors for the trip- Senku was the one who directed the village on how to make the sulfa drug that cured Ruri. Even though you spent years helping take care of her, you could never find a cure.

As the next best thing, you were most likely needed in Japan to help the others with their ailments, and though you were saddened you had to leave your friends and family behind, you accepted your responsibility even before it was given to you. But that didn’t stop you from wanting to help out your brother and his team in the ways you knew how.

As Senku was making final preparations on the evening of the trip outside, he heard noise coming from the inside of the lab. Skeptical, he slowly emerged toward it, barely stepping inside when he was suddenly blinded by something pulled over his head. He stuttered and sputtered in surprise, at first thinking he had been restrained by a former member of the Tsukasa Empire. But then he heard a giggle from in front of him and felt that he had full control of his body. He quickly tore off whatever had been thrown onto his head, starting to tell the person off before cutting himself short.

“Hey, now, what’s the meaning of- '' when he looked down, he was surprised to see that he was holding a pirate hat that resembled Ryusui’s own. He heard the chuckle again, and looked up to see his offender. You stood in front of him with a cheeky smile on your face. 

“Sorry I startled you,” you laughed, intertwining your hands behind your back and then gesturing toward the hat with your head. “For you. I asked Yuzuriha to make it so…don’t thank me. I thought it’d be fitting.”

Senku observed the hat for a brief couple of seconds before looking up at you again. “What are you doing in here?”

You stepped off to the side of the table behind you to reveal multiple different pouches, all in the different colors and sizes lined up on the edge of the table. Senku stared confused. “What’s all this?”

“Some resources for the trip. I figured it would be best to give them to you beforehand so as to not waste any time in the morning…” you stepped closer toward the table and gave a quick rundown of what each pouch contained, pointing to each one.

“Chamomile in this bag- I’m sure you know already but make sure to use them quickly. I prepared just this morning so you have some time, but the sooner the better. I have some herbs here for Francois to use in their cooking, too.”

Senku stared down each bag as you went along, completely caught off guard by your assortment. Why couldn’t you just bring all these things along with you in the morning? Why were you treating this as some sort of parting gift-?

Oh.

Senku connected the pieces halfway through your rundown. You assumed that Chrome would be the sole sibling on the Perseus as one of the team’s leaders, and that you would be left behind to help with medical affairs in Japan. It was almost like he had read your mind.

“So…that’s all of it. I hope it can be of some use to you.”

Senku continued to stare with his mouth slightly agape, but eventually he chuckled and was able to find the words.

“How about you hold onto all that until the morning? We’ll load it up with the rest of the luggage tomorrow.”

-

The following morning, all the villagers stood outside to see the Perseus goodbye and to hear who would be needed on the trip, if they were willing to take on the role. 

The brawn, Kohaku, Taiju and Magma were obviously big ones. When your brother was called up along with Kaseki, you hugged him tight and told him to stay safe, watching him board the ship with a bittersweetness. You were disappointed that you couldn’t be more of an asset to him- you had never parted with your brother your entire lives. But you knew he was capable of himself, and you both could rely on one other to take care of your respective responsibilities. 

A couple of others were called up and made their dramatic debuts onto the ship, and then-

“Our doctor, Y/N!”

You were completely taken aback to hear Ryusui call out your name, and you looked over at Senku for confirmation only to see him already staring at you with a smile.

“I’m a part of the crew?”

“You’re more familiar with the environment than anyone else. The engineers need to put all their attention into the technicalities of the ship, and we need someone in charge of overall quality of life. We can’t have anyone out of commission if we can help it.”

As you boarded the ship, you nudged Senku in the chest as he feigned obliviousness by innocently looking through his papers, and he laughed. 

“You could’ve told me last night.”

“Saves me the exposition.” 

Your brother greeted you with a cheer and a ruffle to your hair. You still could scarcely believe you were a part of the crew even after the ship had left the island and sailed so far that your home looked no bigger than an insect. 

You found Senku leaning over the side of the ship, and you knew it was a not so subtle invitation to join him. You stood beside him and followed his gaze out toward the sea. 

“You were stupid for ever doubting your importance to the Kingdom of Science. Even if you were to have stayed in Japan, your role would’ve been just as important.”

“Such sweet words.”

“I know. It’s weird for me too.”

Senku didn’t expect to find himself as disappointed in your mindset as he was when you expected you’d stay back in Japan. He couldn’t be upset- your reasoning was perfectly logical. Senku could qualify as a doctor, and with Francois’ talents, so could they. But to think that your train of thought would have stemmed from something deeper, from self-doubt and unhealthy comparison. You were always going to be a part of the crew, your experience was invaluable and every necessary precaution should be taken going into uncharted territory. But to think you ever doubted your importance-

You laughed and Senku turned his head to look at you. “We all have crucial roles, Y/N. Don’t doubt yourself.” 

“I know. It was dumb.”

“It was.”

Your gaze remained on the waves against the ship, but Senku's eyes never left your features, the corners of his mouth twitching downward. 

“You’re important no matter where you are. Don’t forget that.”

corny ending. forgive me
