author's notes: yet another work written for my lovely @madeforgyu! this is just part 1 of her birthday gift and is a part of the universe we have lovingly poured soooo much time and effort in. wuv u and all of that!
The excitement that comes with a new album and a comeback sometimes gets lost in just how complicated AM♡RE’s schedule has become. In between having to do pre-recording as a whole team, music shows would request certain members to be part of other variety segments which allowed other members to rest or even take on other schedules.
This led to fussy 4AM pre-recording sessions then running back to the company office to film overseas interviews and just napping during the car rides to and from one venue or another. By the time the whole team made it back to the KBS building for the live broadcast, the only thing fueling you was adrenaline and obligation. It’s a so-so way of celebrating your twenty-fourth birthday.
You try to shake it out of your system when you think of the cute pink drink truck that was parked by the entrance to the studio that your fans were enjoying. You think it could be a lot worse because you did catch a glimpse of the many birthday ads all over Seoul as you moved from one location to another.
But still, it could be better too.
With all the last minute activities and schedules being fit into every free moment you had in the past few weeks, it had been difficult to really set any celebration plans into stone with your boyfriend.
Your boyfriend.
A pout makes itself present on your face the second you start thinking of him. Having Mingyu around would make everything that wasn’t ideal about your birthday just simply melt away.
At this point, a message from him would suffice. You’re no stranger to receiving and sending messages at odd times but after Mingyu’s good morning message, all your other texts had gone unread.
You’re wracking your head if he had mentioned anything scheduled today but you come up with nothing because you can clearly remember that he said he was taking the entire day off to celebrate with you.
The thought sticks even as you’re being ushered on stage and you only really snap out of it as you find yourself in front of the crowd, the rest of your members bowing and waving before you have to take your starting positions.
You shake it off, thinking instead of how you’re sure a message from Mingyu will greet you the moment you step off stage.
You’re greeted by something far better than a text message when the music cuts and you’re trying to catch your breath.
A large smile is still plastered on your face as the thrill and joy of performing courses through you. The cheers fill you with warmth and satisfaction, hoping that you had given a good performance for the live show’s crowd, but a voice cuts through the usual noise of fans.
There’s a booming voice coming from the side stage and a “That’s my girl!” that sets every nerve on your body aflame in embarrassment and pride in equal measures.
It’s your boyfriend.
It’s Mingyu.
A bright smile splits your face and you can’t help the flush that paints your face pink as the rest of your members turn to see the afternoon’s special guest. With everyone on stage giggling and whispering amongst themselves with their lapels turned away from their mouths, even the crowd was starting to realize that something out of the norm was going on.
You make your goodbyes quick, giving deep bows of appreciation, but the excitement coursing through your body can’t be contained.
Once your leader has deemed you polite enough, offering you a sympathetic smile and nodding towards the general direction of the backstage area, you can’t move fast enough.
You briskly walk towards Mingyu who, despite his effort at dressing to be discreet, is still the most eye-catching person in the room. Standing tall and proud in the hustle and bustle of the music show staff is the top scorer of the Cheongdam Diamonds, offering you the most wicked grin.
There are so many eyes around you. Looks of jealousy, resentment, and also awe are no longer strange when either you or Mingyu are in the room. Having both of you present just meant all of the above, but a hundredfold. None of that matters to you at all when you let out a squeal and jump into his arms.
You don’t care. You’ve stopped caring. Let them see.
You can no longer count how many bad ideas have become good ones when Mingyu whispers them into your ear. You can’t even remember a time you’ve said no to him and his clever ideas. Not that you ever would really, especially when Mingyu always makes it worth your time.
It starts innocently enough, as it always does with you and Mingyu.
The second you managed to drag him into your dressing room, locking the door behind him, you had peppered his face and mouth with as many kisses as you could as he giggled and whispered birthday greetings every time your lips parted.
In no time, Mingyu had managed to wrap your legs around his waist and was guiding you as you slowly rocked your hips down onto his. The friction was so delicious even through all the layers of your stage costume but you knew that this would hardly suffice for either of you.
“I fucking hate these shorts,” Mingyu says with a grimace as his hands find their way to your ass, upset to find the layer of your safety shorts standing in his way.
Mingyu has always hated it when he would reach down and find your smooth skin covered with a seemingly offensive piece of clothing. On most days you barely wore any underwear around the house, just the way he likes it.
You love the little look of annoyance in his face and trace the lines of his eyebrows as you sit pretty on his lap, “They’re there to protect me.”
Mingyu can only snort at that.
You roll your eyes playfully, “Imagine if we stopped wearing these, then everyone would see what’s yours, Daddy.”
You feel his frown relax underneath your finger, “We can’t have that now, can we?”
“Nuh-uh,” You answer, allowing Mingyu to guide your hips. Even through the stupid safety shorts you could feel how his cock was pressing against the zipper of his jeans and Mingyu always knew how to find the cleft of your center to ensure that you were grinding your clit onto him.
“Why’s that?” He whispers against your lips, tongue flicking out to lick at your upper lip for just a split second.
You bite your tongue at the pleasure slowly building up between your legs and how he’s teasing you with his tongue, “Because this is yours.”
He makes a face of faux confusion before asking, “What exactly is mine?”
“This pussy.”
“Good girl.”
In no time, Mingyu has you strip for him and you stand before him, completely devoid of your costume. In the back of your head you can already imagine the frustration of the staff member assigned to assist you with getting fully dressed again, but the look Mingyu gives you has you pushing the thought away.
He’s sprawled on the couch as if he owned it and you’re dying to fall to your knees between his spread legs, but the second you move to do so, Mingyu grabs your wrist to stop you.
“It’s my sweet girl’s birthday today, so we’ll do all the stuff you like,” He says, standing up and crowding you against the counters littered with different makeup brushes and pots of eyeshadow and powder puffs.
“But I want to suck your cock,” You state as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
Mingyu chuckles and you meet his eyes. You’re entranced.
“I know you do, love. But I don’t want you to bruise your knees when I’m dressing you back in that little skirt.”
He has a point and you frown, “How about tonight?”
He smiles as he brings three fingers up to your mouth, “Okay, I’ll even let you choke on it. Now suck on Dad’s fingers, get them nice and messy.”
You immediately let your mouth fall open and start to lap at the three fingers Mingyu offers you, savoring the salt of his skin and the rough pads of his fingers. If you tried hard enough you could pretend they were his cock, hard and smooth and so so delicious. Your little daydream has you salivating in no time, coating Mingyu’s fingers and lubricating them enough for what he’s no doubt about to do to you.
“Look at that little mouth go,” He marvels, “So small, three fingers can barely fit. Are you sure you can suck my cock?”
You’re shaken from your thoughts and immediately a look of distress spreads on your face, “Yes, it can fit! I can make it fit. You’ll make it fit, won’t you?”
Mingyu’s fingers are barely out of your mouth as you try to convince him. The look on your face makes Mingyu smile. It’s horrible and mean and you love it so much.
“Yeah, I’ll make it fit. I’ll make sure my baby will take it.”
You preen at the promise and wait in anticipation as he pulls his hands away from your lips and pressing his mouth against yours.
This kiss was not exactly a typical one. Instead of pressing your lips together, Mingyu licks into your mouth, his tongue bullying its way inside and pushing your own tongue out of the way. He runs this tongue against the roof of your mouth and against your teeth until you slowly start to press your tongue against his.
You groan in relief as he finally eases up to kiss you properly but tense up when you feel one of his hands grab at your left thigh to lift it up and prop it up on the counter. This position has you spread wide open for him. He loves it when he can see all of you.
The slick that’s been gathering between your folds is surely visible in this position and it makes you clench around nothing as Mingyu pulls away to survey you in this position.
“So so pretty,” He whispers underneath his breath, not even to you, just to himself, “Going to destroy this tiny pussy.”
That’s as much warning as you get before he presses two fingers into you at once.
Mingyu is bigger than most men in all aspects. He’s tall and broad, having put in so much time to get his physique to where it is now. His sheer size followed everywhere else. His fingers were long and thick and the press of two into your core has your eyes rolling to the back of your head.
Whether it was his cock or his fingers, you knew to always expect a stretch. And you loved it.
“Sooo good, Daddy,” is all you can muster as Mingyu sets a punishing pace that has you trembling in his arms in no time.
Each curl of his fingers sent a jolt down your spine that had you inching closer to the edge despite how Mingyu had just started.
“My pussy is taking two fingers so well,” He says, “I think three would be even better.”
You hate that he pulls his fingers out but you’re immediately placated when he brings the two fingers to his mouth to suck your slick off of them.
He makes a noise of delight before removing his fingers and leaning down. For a second you think he’s going to eat you out but instead Mingyu spits out the saliva and slick he’s collected in his mouth and lets it drip down from your clit.
He moves back to take in the absolutely debauched state of your pussy, smiling to himself, pleased at how messy he’s gotten you, before spreading the wetness with his soiled fingers.
“Are you ready for three, little girl?” He asks, almost mocking. You preen at the nickname and at the promise of the stretch of three fingers inside of you.
Even with the preparation he had given you, he punches a deep exhale from you and he pushes three fingers. The fit is so tight that you can feel how the rough pads of his fingers are. He always did refuse to wear gloves when he lifted weights. Now you want to thank him for it, because the friction inside you makes you want to scream.
It doesn’t help how slowly he’s going either. He’s relishing in how your walls wrap around his fingers, how you tighten up when he slips in a little further. And when he crooks his fingers just right, he can feel how you’re getting just a little bit wetter, slicker.
“You take me so good,” He whispers against your lips, so close it's almost a kiss.
You’re breathless though, mouth slightly ajar, waiting for his tongue to slither between your lips. He doesn’t make a move though aside from a cocky smirk and an arched brow.
Mingyu lets his fingers continue on with their noble job of getting you closer and closer to the edge. Each push and pull of his digits inside you set your nerves alight, but the delicate movement of his right hands make you want to die.
Even as he’s coaxing and orgasm with three fingers on his left hand, the fingers on his right are tracing delicate swirls and unrecognizable patterns along your inner thigh. Every now and then they’d go higher, just by the lips of your pussy.
The pace is much too slow for your liking and you’re worried that your absence would start to seem suspicious. You weren’t at Mingyu’s training center where everything is kept under lock and key with a very well written NDA. You were at Music Bank where staff members were nosy and there was surely another girl group member roaming the halls, praying for your downfall.
“Daddy, faster,” Is all you can manage in between kisses on Mingyu’s jawline, licking a stripe to taste the salt of his sweat and that underlying tinge of just him.
You don’t expect his free hand to come and grip the underside of your jaw, his fingers long enough to reach both sides of your cheeks. He applies just the right pressure to squeeze your cheeks and force your lips into a pucker.
It would be cute if not for the look on Mingyu’s face.
“This is a birthday gift, angel. Be good while I give it to you, hmm?” He says as he begins to pick up the pace.
In no time the pace is punishing, the only thing slowing Mingyu down is how each push of his fingers back inside of you required a stretch and each time your walls made space for him inside you, you let out a little whimper.
When Mingyu presses his thumb against your clit, adding to the already intense pleasure, you can barely keep it together. In no time you feel the telltale signs of an inevitable orgasm.
No matter the method, every single orgasm Mingyu has ever given you was mind blowing, and this would be no exception. You feel the wetness dripping down your ass before you’re comprehending what exactly has happened, having difficulty in processing the immense pleasure coursing through you, your eyes slipping shut at the feeling of cumming all over Mingyu’s fingers.
Your walls tighten around him, even as you spill into his open palm and he continues to push in and out, droplets falling to the floor beneath you and between his feet.
Mingyu’s eyes are fixed on your entrance as he keeps you filled, pleased with how stretched out you are, ready for him to just slip in.
He pulls his fingers out only to move them to cover your clit, gently rubbing, keeping you on the precipice of pleasure, not allowing you a moment to come back to Earth. You’re in that heady space only he take you.
“Eyes open, baby. Watch daddy fuck his cock into you,” Mingyu says with a light slap to your face.
He moves and lifts your other leg up, maneuvering your hands that are wrapped around him to hold yourself open, keeping you fully spread open and seated on the dressing room counter.
Mingyu grasps his cock and gives himself one, two, three pumps to ease the initial need for friction, before he taps the now leaking tip against your clit. A pearlescent drop of precum falls on the hood of your clit and you watch, helpless as he harshly swipes at it with his thumb.
You hiss at rough handling but are immediately silenced when he brings the thumb up and shoves it into your mouth. He presses down on your tongue as if to wipe the cum off his finger.
He grabs a fistful of the hair at the nape of your neck and smashes your mouths together. You love the way even his mouth seems to hold dominance over your own. The movements, no matter how unruly, are still just the right thing to get you going once more.
“We taste so good together, huh?” He whispers after fucking your mouth with his tongue. He pulls away slightly and lolls out his tongue to let a thick wad of spit fall from his lips down to your center.
The impact of the warm liquid has your gaping hole clenching around nothing.
It pleases Mingyu so much that he forgoes all the other teasing he initially had in mind and just guides the head of his cock to sop up the spit on your pussy before pushing in to the hilt in one thrust.
The blissed out sigh that you let out set him on fire.
Gone is the idea of long, languid strokes to stoke the fire in your belly. Instead he goes with a punishing pace that has high pitched cries slipping from your mouth.
His hands find the thickness of your ass to keep you in place, his hips doing all the work of rearranging your guts. In this angle and position, he can see how the head of his cock bulges in your abdomen slightly. It if was possible, he would have gotten harder.
Having already been so sensitive from hardly being able to come down from your first orgasm, Mingyu’s actions had you reeling into your second one in no time.
“My princess deserves to come already,” Mingyu says, slightly breathless, leaning his forehead on yours “Dad wants this pussy to never let him go.”
You nod in agreement, “It's yours forever. I love you.”
It almost seems pathetic for him to cum at those words, but it's a spectacular orgasm as he pulls out until only the head of his cock is inside you before he slams his hips flush to yours and letting himself flood your pussy with his cum.
You’re delirious as he keeps you steady, pulling out so slowly to make sure you keep every single drop of him inside of you.
“Keep it in until you get home,” He says, “I want to slip right in the second you get through the door and still feel me inside you.”
You press your lips to his once, twice, and a third one for good measure before nodding excitedly.
“It’s your gift to me. I won’t let a single drop go to waste.”

I just came across the article today, and the whole thing is very interesting. I highly recommend reading it all, to anyone who's interested in the history of British comedy double acts. It's basic stories that I did already know - Cook and Moore, Lee and Herring, Newman and Baddiel, French and Saunders - but it juxtaposes them in a way that I quite enjoyed reading, and adds a number of details that I did not already know. I am interesting in double act dynamics, so this was a really cool article.
However, I am, of course, going to cut and paste on particular segment:
In 2006, Andy Zaltzman and John Oliver, who were at the time writing their third Edinburgh show together, travelled to London to audition for a role on Jon Stewart’s The Daily Show. Only Oliver, however, was called to a second audition. “When they offered him the job, unfathomably, John chose to go and work on the world’s leading satirical TV show rather than speak to 30 people in a tiny room in Edinburgh,” Zaltzman tells me over a Diet Pepsi in a London pub. After the swift departure of Oliver, who now presents HBO’s primetime political talkshow Last Week Tonight, Zaltzman was left to write and, two weeks later, perform the Edinburgh show alone. “It was difficult because I had nothing to replace this wonderful working relationship and friendship,” Zaltzman says. The year after Oliver left for America, Zaltzman “bumbled along” performing political standup. Then they were offered the opportunity to record a weekly topical podcast, the Bugle. Oliver agreed to rejoin the double act (albeit via a telephone line) as co-host. “It worked well straight away,” says Zaltzman. “There hadn’t been any great falling out, so in that sense it was easy for us to work together again.” The podcast, a satirical take on the week’s news, ran from 2007 to 2014 without a break. It then had a hiatus while Oliver focused on launching his new TV show; he soon found that the show was taking up too much of his time, and the Bugle came to an end in 2015. Then in 2016, Zaltzman relaunched it without Oliver, instead partnering with a roster of comedians including Nish Kumar and Hari Kondabolu. “To lose [Oliver] after having worked so closely for years left a void,” says Zaltzman. “But my frustration was not with his success. I like to think I haven’t become a bitter, twisted, resentment-fuelled showbiz cliche. But maybe there is a residual awkwardness about the different paths we’ve taken.”
Sorry, what the fuck? Did anyone else know about this? That apparently Andy Zaltzman also auditioned for The Daily Show, at the same time as John? I know a hell of a lot about the Zaltzman and Oliver history, and I never knew that. Which means Zaltzman's kept it quiet, in the all the times he's told stories in interviews about the paths their double acts took in those years.
I'd heard all that other stuff before. There's a Bugle quote (from 2018, the same year this article came out, so I guess Andy was into that phrasing at the time), in which Andy refers to: "June 2006, when [John Oliver] told me he wanted to do the Daily Show job instead of coming with me to Edinburgh to talk to 25 people a day in a darkened room." And of course I've heard Andy talk about how he felt like he was "bumbling" in the year between John going to America (June 2006) and The Bugle starting (Oct 2007), as he tried to get by without the double act. I'm convinced that the difficulty he had during that year is why he waited so long to pull the plug on The Bugle in 2015, when John had clearly checked out, and yet Andy kept doing filler episodes in which he'd tell us they're going to get this going with John again soon, like a mother telling the children that their dad has just gone out for cigarettes and will be back. Of all the double act stories in that article, Zaltzman and Oliver has to be one where one member tried the hardest to claw on after the other was out, not wanting to let go of it. And I include Lee and Herring, when I say Zaltzman and Oliver did that more than any others.
Anyway, the information that Andy Zaltzman had also auditioned for The Daily Show is a massive fact for this article to just casually drop. That recontextualizes a lot of stuff from around that time, and makes a lot of sense. @lastweeksshirttonight, @bimwi - as the other people here who know a lot about that history, am I the only one who didn't know that? Was anyone else aware of this?

Local Dumbass Has OceanGate Titan Sub Theory
I don't know shit about this except what I have looked into and thought about regarding my mechanical engineering degree.
Yesterday afternoon, when I first heard about it, I thought the extent was that Titan had gotten tangled in some wreckage and also had a communications failure. Granted, I was in the middle of a 15 hr car ride home so I couldn't do much research into it.
Today, I've done some research and thinking about it because the mystery of it fascinates me. I am going to kinda journal/ record my thought processes as I was messaging my partner about it earlier.
I felt inspired by the twitter user Peter Girguis and wanted to do the research myself in understanding the materials and design of the vessel in addition to understanding the timeline of events.
Background:
At 9:47 am on Sunday, June 18th, the vessel had lost communication contact with the Polar Prince, and the last known location was received at 10:00. Though the communication system and location tracking were separate, previous history denotes either one or the other experiencing blackouts before successful recovery. This time, both of these have failed in a 13 minute timeframe, approximately halfway through its 2.5 hour dive time.
Initially, I feel strange about the fixation of criticism over the usage of a game controller. Yes, I do find the humor in it, about the indication of cheapness, but it doesn't feel right to just blame the interruption of input connection from the controller for the loss of communications and then the location tracker.
Honestly, my interest piqued at the mention of the use of a new material being used for the design - carbon fiber
I watched the Sunday Morning segment about David Pogue's 2022 expedition because I wanted more context about the design and to get a better mental picture. The parts that struck me was the verbiage of the contract in combination with the attitude of the OceanGate CEO, Stockton Rush. It concerns me in the beaming pride that the man shows in his sourcing of shockingly cheap parts and the callousness of tossing the controller around. I find the lack of discussion around safety concerns or mitigation of risk factors incredibly disturbing.
I began to look for papers documenting the behavior of carbon fiber material under compressive load and surprisingly found this article detailing plans for a near identical vessel from a few years previous. I find it interesting that the sole reason carbon fiber was selected for use was because it would cut down on the cost of the vessel. Not safety, or because existing research pointed to increased durability, or anything. Just that theoretically, the material would make the hull lighter in weight and they wouldn't have to pay for the foam applied to metal-hulled vessels to offset the metal's weight.
I then found a paper detailing the failure mechanism of carbon fiber reinforced composite under longitudinal stress detailing the effects of the material under compression. From my understanding of the failure modes detailed in the paper I created my initial assumption.
What I think happened is that the carbon fiber hull could not handle the load cycling of repeated dives. At a significant pressure providing a compressive force on the material at freezing cold temp, the carbon fiber became too brittle and failed either along the the middle in an axial line or at the penetration sites required to attach the titanium end caps.
Also I noted that the monitoring system depends on strain gauges attached to the titanium pieces that measures the metals' deformation, but wasn't sure if they would be as effective in use for the carbon fiber. Furthermore I couldn't see how it was effective in use as an appropriate safety monitor, or how an evac plan was supposed to be constructed around it given the requirements of the human body and recovering from depth pressure.
The carbon fiber hull is entirely shielded from view from the outside because it is encased by the sleek looking glass fiber shell. This shell is incapable of standing up to the depth pressure and provides no structural support whatsoever. What it does do, however, is make the whole craft look nice and capable.
The hull is about 6" thick and thankfully when carbon fiber begins to fail under compression, the failure can be visible from the outside of the thickness to the inside. If the hull itself is thoroughly checked before each and every submersion, signs of failure and weakening can be noticed before a complete failure. The mission can be aborted and lives can be saved.
However, if failure is detected, then the entire hull must be scrapped and replaced by a newly manufactured one. Even if the visible signs of damage don't look "that bad", the extreme pressure placed on it is too much to fuck around with.
I also do not assume that the hull can be patched with additional layers of carbon fiber. I feel it is extremely important that all of the fibrous threads used throughout the hull are continuous and unbroken to prevent shear stresses from forming in between the undamaged remaining section of the hull and the patch.
Personally, I think there was a lack of effort on ensuring safety. I think they became overly familiar with the craft and began to think of it more as a reliable vehicle that enabled them to do research and secure funding instead of a material testing experiment where theye were cycling it though who knows how many loads with lives inside. I genuinely believe that when the incident reports are written, it will expose that the hull was exposed to many more cycles of loading in extreme conditions than previous lab testing experiments under controlled conditions. If we (the engineering and scientific community) are lucky, we will be able to recover and analyze the fracture surfaces from the wreckage and understand how carbon fiber fails in a cold and highly compressive environment.
Then I take a break and think about the role of Journalist David Pogue as people condemn him for poor reporting on his segment report, and look up his history in reporting and journalism
There's more I want to add to this later but for rn this is all I wanted to put down for rn.

OK, so I need to write down what happened in my dream last night or else it's going to drive me crazy all day today.
So, in my dream I was visiting a Costco Wholesale warehouse in Toronto (don't ask why Toronto specifically, probably cause I watched Scott Pilgrim the other day). I was shopping for stuff, as one does at a Costco. I don't remember a lot of the shopping segment from my dream, but a couple highlights:
Tony Hawk was hosting a massive skateboard tournament in the middle of the store
Sasha and Marcy from Disney's Amphibia were recording a podcast about frogs in the pet food section.
After I got done shopping, I went to the food court and got a slice of Kirkland Signature pizza. All of the sudden, a chef with a Russian accent then shouted "Is anyone here Uber Driver? I need Uber Driver for friend!!"
Being that I am indeed an Uber Driver, I decided to offer my services to the chef. The chef then smiled and picked up a clear plastic container.
In the container, there was a mouse with a chef hat and several bags of luggage packed. The chef said "This mouse friend. He good mouse, good chef too. He need to get back home to family in Colorado Springs." I accepted the ride and took the mouse to my car.
Now keep in mind that to get from Toronto to Colorado Springs would mean driving non-stop for a solid day:
Thankfully since this is MY dream and I'm able to bend reality to my will, the drive only took 30 minutes. When we got to the address listed, it ended up being a way smaller house surrounded by normal sized houses in a suburb.
I then brought the container that the mouse was in to the small house, let the mouse out with its bags, and watched as he reunited with his mouse family. It was a wholesome scene to watch.
I then woke up, and thus, ended my dream.
So yeah, sorry if that all seemed random, it's just that was one of the best damn dreams I've had in a long time and I wanted to share it somewhere.

Weekly Update December 20, 2024
I don’t know how I’m doing, I’m all over the place. I’m still trying to get work done but I’m not really adhering to a schedule. I’m also a little drunk right now so can’t really summarize well anyway. I’m gonna throw a cut on this one because I’m probably gonna ramble. I did a lot of work though!
Music: the main thing holding me back on music is getting visuals done, and my patience for vocaloid tuning. This week I drew assets for BATB’s visual, so theoretically I can get a lyric video for that ready and release it some time next week. Will I? Depends on motivation. I do still have a finished lyric video for the Blow Off Steam re-edit, but I want to release one more original before I post that. Either BATB or LF. I did the bulk of tuning for LF today, the main challenge is probably going to be getting the growl to work. That’s going to depend on which voice I use, since the Kagamines growl just fine, but right now I’m honestly thinking about sticking with VY1. The version of VY1 I have is VY1 lite, which I don’t actually know what version she is, but I believe she’s based on VY1V3, because I can’t hear her growl. So I have to use vocascreamer. Good news is I found a way to sidechain it, so I have more control over it, which is great.
I also got past a really big roadblock on the runner-up cover, BGCS, and am now getting a VSQX made, that will probably be a Wil song. The VSQX will take a bit longer than the others since it is a Japanese song, so I don’t know which syllables to drop. The last of the three covers from the poll, CM, also had its MIDI recorded, so I will finish that once BGCS is done.
Last notes on music in addition to getting the BATB visual mostly finished I also got thumbnails sketched for a couple others, including some instrumentals. I have a few miscellaneous ones I wrote on whims that I might release all with the same art as like an anthology ‘album’ or something. The big thing as far as visuals go is I *believe* I have finished the visuals for that little animation one I was working on, so I can sit down and plug those into animate and after effects any time and get that done. Again it depends on my patience. Anyway point is lots of things are coming to fruition or close to coming to fruition.
Comic: was not as big a priority this week unfortunately, I meant to do all the sketching for page 15 tonight but only got around half done. It should be a quicker one, though. Fortelling has been wonderful for writing on other things that needed to be taken care of, O’Malley almost has all 16 episodes synopsies figured out, with episode 2 outlined and episode 3 about half outlined. Backstage is also finally shaping up in terms of structure, with more scenes and ideas actually forming into episode concepts finally, and the pilot 2/3 outlined. Speaking of Fortelling…
I don’t remember if I mentioned this last week or only started this week, but I do have a script going for an epithet erased TTRPG character building tutorial video. Right now I’m aiming for 20-25 minutes, which I think is pretty reasonable, and right now I’m on course for that. I do need to edit down the blurb on all the settings, and write the example characters segments, but I think it should be pretty quick. Especially since I can use visuals from the show and wikis and can limit my own drawings.
And also on the topic of the epithet erased TTRPG I finally sat down and did more map stuff. Drawing objects, especially in pixel art, is really annoying so I’m kinda procrastinating on it a bit, but I finally made and decorated the last stage 1 map, finished up the assets for the stage 2 maps and started making those. I was a little ambitious with some of the ideas I had for maps and tokens, some of which being partially animated, but I believe I have figured out how to get the animated map I want working for stage 2, and got an animated token for stage 2 done. I haven’t been doing tokens chronologically, so once I’ve finished off the ones I have sketched I’ll try to go back to the list and get the rest of stage 1 done. With maybe a fun one from a later stage every once in a while as a treat.
The other thing I’m messing with a little bit is some more animation things. Therunawayguys are back, and I’m considering doing a little animation, now that I actually know what I’m doing in flash, but the first order of business is fixing their gross suboptimal rigs. I opened up Tim’s rig to show it to a friend and explain how it worked and all the things I’d change, and some of that linework was *disgusting*, he had visible seams everywhere, and I think his proportions might’ve been a little off even. And I remember Tim being the ‘good kid’ between the three of them. It’s not a big deal, though, I’ve learned a lot over the past year and can fix them up no problem. Even if I wanted to redo them from scratch it wouldn’t take that long, although I don’t expect it to come to that. I also have an idea for how to do a ‘quick and dirty’ TRGA, and anything is worth animating in the Wonder LP, I can get something out quick. As soon as I saw they were back I went out and bought supplies for that so I could get it done quick. I’m not planning to mess with the rigs until I have LF’s vocals done and BATB’s video done, and maybe the other animation project as well (which would be called LW per my music naming scheme). A quick and dirty animation would be done as soon as something warrants it, though. Although maybe ‘animation’ wouldn’t be the right word… Hmm…
Lot of progress being made a lot of stuff to do. I still feel burnt out, but my boredom will outweigh my burnout since I don’t have anything better to do at the moment. I may be returning to work pretty soon, so I will likely have less time to work on stuff, but it’s good for me so it’s fine. And I still should have a good showing of projects pretty soon no matter what. Right now it’s coming down to energy/patience, so the most I can say is *something* should be posted next week. Some music thing will be posted, idk which it will be, but something. Thanks everyone for being patient, I really hope you like whatever I get finished this week!

A-T-4 156 So Def So Def So Def...
It's a Def Jam. It's 40-years since the first hip hop records from one of the genre's definitive labels Def Jam came out. The first two albums I bought as a kid were on Def Jam so the label holds a special place for me
Def Jam Recordings actually debuted as a label two years earlier. Before the hip hop records the label, which was being run out of Rick Rubin's NYU dorm, had released two punk rock records. The iconic hip hop track It's Yours was produced and put out by Rick Rubin before he meets manager and promoter Russell Simmons and they become business partners
Rick Rubin's friend Ed Bahlman encouraged him to out his own records independently and Bahlman's label 99 Records handled the distribution of the first two Def Jam releases. The first two Def Jam Recordings records are records by Rick Rubin's punk rock band Hose. The inaugural release carries the Def Jam Recordings logo that is still used today on the record label and its sleeve. The logo was designed by Rick Rubin who was studying art at NYU at the time. Because of Def Jam's significance to hip hop these releases are nearly always written out of the label's history but they have Def Jam catalogue numbers and a Def Jam Recordings postal address (Rick Rubin's dorm)
As well as being the year Rick Rubin released the first Def Jam record 1982 was the year the Beastie Boys put out their debut the "Polly Wog Stew EP". Like Rick Rubin's band Hose the Beastie Boys were punk rock. Adam Horovitz wasn't a Beastie Boy yet he was in another punk rock band The Young and the Useless. Both bands played the New York hardcore circuit sometimes opening for each other and they shared the same manager, Nick Cooper
Why is the early history of the Beastie Boys important to the Def Jam story?
In 1983 guitarist John Berry leaves the Beastie Boys. Horovitz, who was still a member of The Young and the Useless, takes his place. DJ Anita Sarko is described by the NYT as a 'crucial bridge between the city's punk and disco scenes', this is certainly true for the Beastie Boys who would dance to the records she spun at Manhattan club Danceteria. One record was "Buffalo Gals" by Malcolm McLaren and the World's Famous Supreme Team which the Beastie Boys loved so much they decided to make a parody of sorts. This became the group's next release "Cooky Puss" and amazingly it became an underground club favorite
Why am I still on about the Beastie Boys?
Having a club hit meant playing that track at club appearances. "Cooky Puss" is unlike their earlier punk rock material to perform it the band decided they needed a DJ, like RUN DMC had. The Beastie Boys manager Nick Cooper contracted Rick Rubin to be the Beastie Boys' DJ who used the name DJ Double R
A television commercial made for British Airways uses a segment of "Cooky Puss" b-side "Beastie Revolution" without permission and the Beastie Boys and their manager, being the middle class children of art gallery owners, art dealers and collectors, and playwrights, sue British Airways for copyright infringement. The case is settled the out of court for $40,000. This gives them the financial freedom to concentrate on their music. With his share of the payout Adam Horovitz buys a Roland TR-808 drum machine
Adam Horovitz, Adam Yauch, and Michael Diamond begin spending a lot of time with Rick Rubin in his dorm. They share an appreciation of hip hop. Adam Horovitz is bringing round his 808. It's the beats Rick Rubin makes on Horovitz's 808 that convinces Russell Simmons to go into a partnership with him and provides the beats for many Def Jam Recording releases, including all of those featured on this page. With the success of "Cooky Puss" Rick Rubin convinces Horovitz, Yauch, and Diamond to ditch their drummer Kate Schellenbach and punk rock in favour of becoming three MC's and one DJ
The last thing I want to say about "Cooky Puss" is the Beastie Boys logo on the sleeve is made by Cey Adams who will become Def Jam's first art director
Boom Bap
Rick Rubin is deejaying for the Beastie Boys and creating beats on Adam Horovitz's TR 808 and he wants to make a credible hip hop record. This record would be "It's Yours"
"First I met Kool Moe Dee from the Treacherous Three, who were my favorite group. And I said, “Let’s make a record together. Let’s make a Treacherous Three record.” And he said, “We can’t really do that. We’re signed to Sugar Hill, but talk to Special K, another guy in the group, because he has a brother who can rap, and maybe he’d be good for you to do this with.” I didn’t know that there were contracts, I didn’t know anything. I had no experience whatsoever. I was just a fan. So I met with Special K, and Special K introduced me to his brother T La Rock, and he wrote the words." - Rick Rubin interview for Vulture in 2014
"It's Yours" isn't by T La Rock alone, it's T La Rock and legendary DJ, member of the member of Soulsonic Force, Jazzy Jay. But Jazzy Jay wasn't the first DJ considered for "It's Yours". T La Rock had a DJ named Louie Lou (who would co-produce later tracks like "Breakin Bells" with T La Rock.) According to his brother Special K and Louie had a falling out over the demo recording and Louie was out. Luckily Rick Rubin had a connect with Jazzy Jay and the rest is history
Jazzy Jay tells a different story he's pretty bitter about the record and Def Jam Recordings in general. He doesn't think he gets enough credit for his contribution or royalties. Jay Quan asks Jazzy Jay about making "It's Yours"
"[Jay Quan] Whose idea was it to use the Uncle Louie break in the [intro]? That “Da-na Da-na Na--?”
"[Jazzy Jay] It was mine. Every bit of scratching was done live--no takes or punch-ins or whatever. Everything other than the beat and the rap, I put in it. There’s so many tracks… The scratching on that is meticulous.
"Louie Lou had done a draft on a cassette… Rick gave him the beat and he did some scratches, but it wasn’t full orchestration like the way I did it, where you had scratches coming in and I’m complementing everything. He just had a couple of scratches going in and out and that was about it." - check out Jay Quan's interview with Jazzy Jay here
The beat on "It's Yours" was made by Rick Rubin on the aforementioned 808. Jazzy Jay claims it was him who taught Rubin to program the 808 and that he also did additional work on the beat for "It's Yours." On the record label Jazzy Jay gets a co-production credit just like Special K gets credit for writing the lyrics
Something there's no disagreement on is that the Beastie Boys were in the studio when the track was being recorded and were conscripted into providing the atmospheric crowd response on the chorus and on the Scratch Party Death Mix version
As I've said Rick Rubin didn't know Russell Simmons at this time. The record label Rick Rubin had used to distribute his first two Def Jam releases, 99 Records, was in a legal dispute with Sugar Hill Records in 1984 and struggling financially. So Rick Rubin approaches Streetwise to see if they will distribute the record. Streetwise is run by Arthur Baker who produced "Planet Rock" and "Looking For The Perfect Beat", Jazzy Jay was also involved with those records as a member of The Soulsonic Force. Streetwise like "It's Yours" so much they offer to release it on their subsidiary Partytime. "It's Yours" becomes a massive hit and gets a 2nd pressing, the difference between this and the first press is that this one has the Def Jam Recordings logo underneath the Partytime logo on the label. All subsequent 1984 represses also include the Def Jam logo. The picture sleeve for "It's Yours" features Rick Rubin's now legendary Def Jam tone arm (according to Stacy Gueraseva, the tone arm was created by "a girlfriend of Hose’s lead singer, Mike Espindle," working under Rick’s direction), there is a Def Jam catalogue number on it's spine, the Def Jam logo on the back and most importantly a postal address (still Rick Rubin's dorm)
When did T La Rock realise he's made a hit? He was working in a pharmacy and heard it on the radio
"There was a DJ named Tony Humphries who played it around noon when they’d do a master mix hour. So Humphries mixed in my song and it was so unexpected that I damn near lost it. Back then, you might hear Kurtis Blow or Run DMC occasionally on the radio but that was it. After the song was over, they said that it was the most requested song of the day!" - T La Rock interview with David Ma

hi, and welcome back to another episode of trailer music, today's topic, Ronald Reagan. i didn't watch the traielr when it came out, because of course i didn't, then i saw headline yesterday saying Bob Dylana nd Gene Simmons were contributing songs, so let's see the trailer. 1
huh, this lyric's familiar...
oh
it's Tears For Fears' classic 'Everybody Wants to Rule the World' off their sophomore album 'Songs from the Big Chair' released 1985. and, yet again, they can fuck right off.
it feels like it makes sense for them to use it, a prevaling image of Reagan is the 'tear down this wall', which is even the last shot of the trailer. and allegedly, according to the video description, it's about how he was 'sustained by the love of a woman who supported him in his journey'. so a lyric like
'Holding hands while the walls come tumbling down' 2
would be big for them. and guess what
they don't even play that bit of the song.
and general lyrics abot freedom, liberty, and;
i can't stand this indecision married with a lack of vision
which you could use over the footage of Carter in the trailer, to try and play up his percieved faults, that he 'was hapless, was feeble, was someone who could be taken down by a rabbit' 3
and my favourite segment, reading comments.
there's a number of comments quoting back to the future
someone compared it to 'The Iron Lady', with a response to that calling Thatcherism based.
people saying it looks like an SNL parody trailer, which, i guess it does
people going 'oh boy, i hope it shows the Iran-Contra affair', which i can't comment on, because i don't remember what happened.
people in both the trailer comments and lyric comments saying 'ooh, ooh Skibidi toilet.' and i have no idea
and finally a couple of people saying that a guy from Creed is playing Sinatra in this movie. thankfully Sammy Davis Jr. will be played by Scarlett Johansson 4
i just really like the song, and am disappointed again.

Thirst Tweets Galore I | Cevans x wife!reader
Summary: What the title says. You’re Chris Evans wife, and you’re reading Thirsty tweets about him.
W/c: 900
Warning(s): Sexual themes (light), real thirst tweets, fluff, Chris Evans (Bc that mans a walking warning.)
A/N: I love the tweets, I actually spent at least half an hour going through them looool. I'm just waiting for the day he does a thirst tweets video 😩, because all these tweets...
Any likes, comments and reblogs are always appreciated :) Enjoy <33
Taking a seat in front of the camera, you settle yourself in the comfy chair. Like most days, you spent time with your husband, either on set or at interviews behind the cameras.
But today was different; Buzzfeed had asked you to do the infamous 'Buzzfeed's thirsty tweet’ segment with a twist. You'd be reading your husband's tweets from a small bucket. Chuckling to yourself, you crossed a leg over and sat up in the chair, waiting for the film team to start recording. They had given you a mini script to base your introduction off, and then it was for you to present the rest.
Alright, three, two, one. The film crew signalling to start.
A light smile paved your face as you looked straight into the camera. "Hello there, my name is Y/n Evans, and today, I am going to be reading my husband's thirst tweets?" Your head tilted a bit at the slight weird sentence.
You laughed a little, looking at your mortified husband. Chris was sitting behind the cameras watching from afar. You looked down to the bucket that one of the producers had given you off-screen a few minutes prior.
"By the way, Chris is off-camera. So he'll be listening in." You smiled sneakily into the camera, "But… the spotlight is on me today, so we might as well embarrass him with your tweets." You chuckled, pulling out the first tweet.
"Chris Evans could snap me in half like this log, and my ghost would thank him." you looked back to the camera, smiling, "oh, he definitely could." You chuckled.
To the side, you could see Chris run a hand down his chin, trying so hard not to laugh. He knew that you'd be extra sarcastic with this interview. Pulling out another one from the bucket, you opened the paper up, "Oooooh!" your eyebrows raised slightly, and your eyes widened.
"I want Chris Evans to be my Massimo. Ready to be fifty shades and choked, sweetie." You quickly slap a hand over your mouth, laughing into it. You could hear a few of the crew laughing, and Chris was silently dying on the ground. "hahaha", you emphasised the laugh, looking back to the camera. "Chris loves this tweet." You winked, "I can also confirm he'd be a sexy Christian Grey."
You threw the paper behind you sarcastically, "moving on…" you cheered, pulling another tweet out from the bucket. You start chuckling reading the following tweet; you can't help but laugh. "Chris Evans can run me over with a lawnmower while I call him daddy." A slight smirk appears on your face, "Chris is doing the lawns next weekend, actually, so..." You wink twice, "come over if you know what I mean." You wiggle your eyebrows at the camera. "Aren't you, babe?" You look over at him, smiling. His face said it all.
"Alright, we got time for a few more!" You smiled, "This is fun!" You wiggled your body in a dancing mood, "oooo, which one is next, which one is next." You spoke before pulling out another tweet. Your mouth slightly opened, seeing the image of your husband, "This one says, I Don't wanna come off inappropriate, but EVERYTHING about you is boiling." You turn the paper around to show the image of your husband.
A proud smile on your face, you leaned in close to the camera, covering one side of your face from Chris, "you know, I try to get him to recreate that scene every day." You whispered, leaning back from the camera; you shrugged. "But he won't do it." You chuckled.
Chris shook his head, chuckling. Looking back up, you saw his publicist call for one more tweet. You nodded slightly, pulling the last tweet from the lot. Opening it, you stifled another laugh. You looked over to Chris and gestured him to come over, "Babe, C'mere and read this one." You smiled; Chris got up from his chair, making his way over to you. You gave him the paper, standing, he took your seat.
Sitting on his lap. You wrapped your arm around his neck; Chris looked at the camera, giving a slight smirk before reading the tweet, "This tweet said, Saw an old interview saying @ChrisEvans wants to marry a woman who gets emotional over dogs and babies... does that include making them?" He laughed, and so did you. "So, did you marry a woman that does?" You looked at Chris, who was already nodding. Holding your waist, he leaned forward in the chair, "I did indeed. She especially loves Dodger." He winks, "does that include making babies?" You chuckled, and he laughed, "That very much does." Chris spoke.
The pair of you laughing, you looked back to the camera. "This has been so much fun! Thank you, Buzzfeed and the people, for your thirsty tweets." both of you smiled, waving to the camera.
Chris collected you into his arms, bridal style, walking you both out of frame. Both you and Chris thanked the teams, and Chris' publicist finished up with the teams. You were both on your way home, laughing about all the tweets. It wasn't a given, your husband was hot, and you couldn't blame others for thinking the same thing.
Chris driving, you had your hand holding one of him. You looked over to him, smiling.
"You think you'd do a good Christian Grey impression, hon?" You asked lightly and watched as a smile tugged at his lips.
"I've been working on it." He replied.
"Show me when we get home?" You asked, and Chris keenly nodded.
Feel free to message me if you would like to be removed from the taglists :)

Chrissy on Air
Fandom: Stranger Things, (my new Radio Show AU)
Summary: Eddie gets sick and Chrissy has to fill in.
Word Count: 1.7k
“Can I steal you for a sec?” The woman in three inch stilettos and a sequin red dress asked.
“Uh sure.” The man turned to the woman he was sitting with, “It was so nice talking to you.” He got up and held hands with the other woman, walking away with her.
Bachelor night was one of Chrissy’s favorite Monday activities to do with her friends. Something about their drama made her life feel more peaceful and at ease.
Bzzzzz. Bzzzzzz. Bzzzz.
Chrissy paused her tv and picked up her phone. It was vibrating and illuminated with a picture of Eddie making a silly face.
“Hi Eddie!”
“Hey Chrissy. Sorry to interrupt Bachelor night.”
“You wouldn’t be interrupting if you didn’t cancel on me last minute, Munson.” She teased. “What’s up?”
“I have a huge favor to ahh ask…H’NxxT! GxxTCH!”
There was a pause. “SNF Chris are you still there?”
“I’m still here, I just know you’re not done yet.” She said matter of factly.
“What are you t- H’eTCHuh!”
“There it is! Bless you! You sound sick, bean.” She frowned to herself, “So what’s this big favor you want to ask me?”
“You know me so well.” Eddie joked, “I am sick. I was hoping maybe you could fill in for me in tomorrows snFF show?”
“Me?! Eddie I don’t know if I-” She was cut off by her friend’s nose.
“Heh’iGSHoo! T’xchIEW! H’iiKSHT!”
“Bless you.”
“Tha’gks. snfsnff I can walk you through everything tomorrow before the show. Please?”
Chrissy took a deep breath, “Okay. But only for you!”
“Thank you thank you thank you!” Eddie chimed into the phone. “I’ll meet you at the studio at 4:30am.
“Alright! You’re welcome. Now go get some rest, dummy.”
“I will, don’t you wehh worry. H’eKTCHew!”
“Bye Eddieeeeee.”
After hanging up the phone, she flicked off the tv. Bachelor night would have to wait. She had prepping to do.
---
Chrissy was already at the studio at 4:30am. She and Jonathan usually arrived an hour before the rest of the gang so that they could set up the production booth. On this particular day, it was Eddie who had to come early so he could show Chrissy the ropes.
When he walked inside, he was bundled in a hoodie pulled tight around his frame, despite it being only September.
“Hey Bean! How you feeling?” The strawberry blonde bounced up to her childhood best friend and rested a cool hand on his forehead.
“Been better.” He coughed into a closed fist, “*ahem* so let me show you how the tech works. It’s pretty straight forward.”
He walked through the second door into the actual recording studio and led Chrissy to his usual spot.
“This one is your mic. You shouldn’t have to touch anything. Jonathan handles all that. You’ll snFF you’ll know you’re live when that light turns on.” He pointed to the light above the door.
“Okay.” Chrissy seemed to be mulling everything over in her head, “And I’ll be able to hear what everyone else says too?”
“Yeah! SNF MmHmm!” He nodded, “You’ll be able to hear everything through the headphones. You can use mine, just might have to adjust them a little…”
Eddie swiped at his nose before putting the headphones over Chrissy’s ears. He stuck his tongue out in thought as he adjusted either side to fit her head. “Perfect!”
Chrissy smiled, giving him two thumbs up. “I shouldn’t have to say anything for the segment today right?”
Eddie nodded, “Yeah, Steve mostly handles this hehh this one… heh’iGSHuh! eh’KTCHew! h’tsSIEW!”
“Bless you!”
Eddie groaned, the collar of his hoodie still pulled over his face. Chrissy frowned as she rubbed a hand up and down his back. “Poor bub.”
“Poor bub indeed. This cold is kicki’g m’by ass. I’b gonna go blow m’by n’dose.”
Chrissy chewed the inside of her cheek as she took a seat at the table.
“CHRISSY! What??” Robin exclaimed as she walked in with Nancy, throwing her backpack to the side.
“Eddie asked me to fill in for him today? I hope that’s okay, I know I’m usually on the other side of the glass.” She gestured towards Jonathan.
“Um it’s MORE than okay!”
“What’s wrong with Eddie?” Nancy asked as she took her own seat.
“What isn’t wrong with Eddie?” Steve added to the banter as he walked in with a paper cup of coffee in one hand, “Morning Chrissy!”
“Chrissy is taking over for Eddie today.” Robin said, raising her eyebrows.
“He’s just sick today is all.” Chrissy explained.
“iiTSCHuhew!” Eddie sniffled soupily before coughing again into a fist. He had just wandered back from the restroom and was back in the production booth with Jonathan.
“Gross.” Robin muttered.
“She meant bless you.” Steve called over to Eddie.
The man gave an exhausted thumbs up and sat in the chair next to Jonathan as they got set up for the approaching start of the show. Jonathan got up and closed the door between his booth and the studio in preparation.
“What does that switch do?” Eddie asked, pointing across the table.
“That one? It turns the mics off and on.” Jonathan answered without looking away from what he was doing. He gave everyone the signal and the light inside lit up as they started the show.
Eddie was still distracted by all the different buttons and switches on Jonathan’s table.
“How about that?”
“That one uh, it lets me add auto tune to their voices if they’re doing a bit.”
“Cool, cool…” Eddie nodded, reaching out to touch a bug button on the console, “What about-”
“Don’t touch that!” Jonathan stated quickly, “Sorry. Don’t touch that one. It starts taking live callers if you press it and they aren’t ready for that yet.”
“Sorry Jon. I won’t touch it.” Eddie knew his own tendency to touch things that said ‘Do Not Touch’, so he got up and flopped onto the couch, leaving jonathan to do his thing.
---
Inside the studio, they had done their openers and now Nancy was introducing the Tuesday segment.
“For those not familiar, today is Tuesday which means it’s time for Ghostbusters - a segment where we call your failed dates and tell you why you got ghosted!”
Jonathan tapped something on his keyboard and their 10 second Ghostbuster theme song played over the radio.
“I believe Jonathan has someone on the line for us?” Robin looked over and Jonathan nodded through the glass. “Okay! Jonathan says yes he has someone. Take it away, Steve!!”
Steve leaned into the mic and signaled to Jonathan to press the button letting the caller onto the show.
“Hey there! You’re on 198.6 with Steve, what’s your name caller?”
“Hi Steve! I’m Amanda.”
“Hey Amanda! You’ve recently been ghosted?”
“Yeah, I met this guy online. I thought we were really hitting it off. We went out to lunch and then he took me to a book store. I thought we were vibing and I just can’t understand why he wont answer any of my texts or calls.”
“Aw man, I’m sorry to hear that. And that guys name is..?”
“His name is Josh.”
“Okay so we’ll be calling Josh to ask about this date, but Amanda will be silently on the line as well. Hang tight Amanda okay?”
“Okay!”
Jonathan pressed two buttons and all the cohosts could hear a phone ringing in their headphones.
“Hullo?” Came a reply from the other end of the line.
“Hi is this Josh?”
“Yeah, who’s asking?”
“My name’s Steve. I was talking to Amanda. She said you guys went on a date but after a while you ghosted her?”
“Whoa whoa whoa. What did she tell you?? I didn’t ghost her okay? Like I did it for a reason.”
“What was the reason?” Steve prodded.
“Look man, her family texted me. Like actually slid into my DM’s?? They were like asking if she was with me and crap like that? I didn’t know what to do, I mean I’m on a date with this girl I just met and her family somehow found me?”
“Whoa hold up! It’s not my fault they’re overprotective! I didn’t know they were going to do that!” Amanda blew her cover.
“What?! Amanda?? What the hell is this??”
“Well Josh, this is actually 198.6 FM. I’m Steve,”
“I’m Robin.” Robin added jokingly.
“I’m Nancy.”
“And I’m Chrissy.”
“And Amanda is obviously on the other end of the line. You’re on a segment called Ghostbusters where we bust ghosters.” Steve shrugged.
“This is stupid man, I didn’t answer her texts because I figured her family would talk for her. I’m not into that.”
Josh hung up the phone.
“So no second date I take it?” Steve asked, rhetorically.
“Absolutely not. What an ass.” Amanda hung up as well.
“Wow she really got cockblocked by her own family.” Chrissy uttered without realizing they were still on air. Her eyes went wide and she clasped a hand over her mouth, the other three laughing.
“Oh my god that was awesome!” Robin screamed.
“Nice one Chrissy!” Steve high fived her across the table.
“Alright here comes 30 minutes of commercial free hits for you all. We’ll be right back!” Nancy waited for the “on air” light to turn off before she turned to Chrissy, “Jonathan bleeps things out, don’t worry. That was hilarious.”
Chrissy facepalmed as she stood up to take her break with the rest of the gang. “I’m so not cut out for this.”
“I think you could replace Eddie in a heartbeat!” Steve teased as they entered the production booth, knowing the older man could hear him now, “But I think Jonathan would go crazy not having you as an assistant…”
They both looked at Eddie laying on the couch trying not to touch all the buttons on the desk.
“You’re right. I’ll just sub in if it’s needed.” She plopped herself on the couch too, hugging her friend, “Hurry up and feel better Eds! We need you!”

With love, forever - Kim Younghoon
Alright dear listeners, that last song was Sweet Travel by Victon. Speaking of sugar rushes, it’s been a whole week since our last episode of “With Love,” and I’m happy to tell you all that Eric and his roommate have refused to speak to me since then. But hey, results are results here at Tangerine Radio, and judging by Eric’s instagram -- which I heard about through a friend since I’ve been unfairly blocked -- he really should be thanking me. Of course, there’s no scheming with our new guest today. We’re going to have a totally normal episode this time, I promise. Reminder: you can find the transcripts and recordings of "With Love,” episodes on our Tangerine Radio website, as well as other special segments, all thanks to tech wizard Sunwoo. I think that’s everything I had to say, so without further ado, let’s welcome our new guest!
...
...
Oh. Um. Is it okay if I just start?
...
Go ahead!
Thanks.
...
Dear you,
I know you’re probably rolling around on the floor as you listen to this, cringing so hard your ears might fall off, but I’m doing it anyway, so you’re just gonna have to deal with it. Deep down, you love when I do this kind of cheesy stuff, don’t you? Don’t try to deny it. I pretend like I don’t see when you hide your smile after every stupid pun, every corny pick-up line, but I do. I see it and I love it.
That’s why I’m always teasing you all the time. You’re really cute when you’re shy.
I just like being in love with you, is all. What’s so embarrassing about that!
I love you!
Just wanted to get that out of the way.
...
One more shouldn’t hurt.
I love you~
...
...What?
Nothing, just... wow.
Wow?
You’re really, uh, romantic.
Swooning already, Haknyeon? Sorry, but I’m taken.
Ew -- don’t look so smug when you say that, cheeseball.
Why shouldn’t I be smug? I’ve got a lot to brag about. I have the bestest, coolest, most awesomest partner ever.
And you know the best thing about them?
...What?
They looove me.
Oh my god, Younghoon. Go back to your letter before I get a toothache.
Okay, okay. I can’t promise it won’t get cringier, though.
Ahem.
Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day? Because you’re hot like--
Oh my god...
Hey! No more interrupting. This is my show segment now.
Anyways.
As I was saying, you’re so insanely attractive it’s unfair. I mean, are we kidding? Am I on camera? How do you just get better and better every single day? It’s like every moment we spend together I just fall harder and harder.
You know that, right? You better.
And because you’re not here, you can’t argue, so ha!
Seriously, though, sometimes I wonder if I’m too in love? But then I get to hug you and kiss you and just spend time with you, and I’m like, I still have more falling to go! I thought the meter stopped at 100%, but nope. You defy all logic and numbers.
I almost wish you were here, right now, just so I could see your reaction. Because even though I know you hate what I’m doing and are probably really embarrassed, I bet you look so cute right now. You’d probably hit me without actually hitting me and call me a dork or something, but that shy smile would be so, so worth it.
Oh my gosh! Please start recording yourself, if you’re listening. I wanna see.
...
Pfft.
What?
Look who’s calling.
Helloooo?
Heh.
I told you I was going to hang out with Haknyeon today! Technically, it’s not a lie.
...
Aw, c’mon, you know you loved that.
I have more pick up lines if you want... how about the one with the--
Alright, alright! Not on live radio. Got it, love.
...
...I want all the listeners here to know that Younghoon has the biggest, dopiest smile on his face right now.
...
It’s totally fair! If you wanna profess your love to me on live radio, you’re gonna have to sign up like the rest of us.
...
Okay, okay. I’ll tell them.
My partner wants everyone listening to know that they love me almost as much as I love them.
..
Fine! They said they love me twice as much as I love them, which has to be impossible, because I’m already twice as much in love as that.
Sunwoo is gagging behind you, just so you know.
I don’t care what Sunwoo thinks about my love life. He’s such an anti-romantic these days.
Well...
Oh, right...
...
Um, my partner wants everyone to know they just made macaroni and cheese, and that if I don’t leave right now, I’m not going to get any.
Wait, what?
Thanks for having me, Tangerine Radio!
You’re gonna leave now?
Sorry, Haknyeon. The person I’m in love with made mac ‘n’ cheese.
You’ll get it one day.

Seward Summary!
We have three whole chunks of Seward today and I am Trying.
For clarity, this part describes events that happened last night (the 30th), recorded in the wee hours of today.
Just as they were about to head out, an attendant comes to Seward and says Renfield wants to speak to him immediately. Seward tries to delay until the morning, but the attendant fears Renfield will have one of his fits if it doesn't happen now.
Seward agrees to go, and the rest of the men ask to tag along to meet Renfield.
When they arrive, Renfield is in an excited but rational state. Seward has never seen this before. Renfield wants to be released and sent home immediately, for he's made a full recovery.
Upon introductions, Renfield says he once served Arthur's father, has praise for America and Texas specifically, and that he's heard of the incredible talents and achievements of Van Helsing.
He appeals to them, again saying he's recovered his sanity. He is astoundingly convincing, and were it not for the surrounding circumstances, Seward would be prepared to release him on the spot.
Seward is not keen on this, and says he'll evaluate and decide later; this is not enough for Renfield. Upon being told his current behavior isn't enough, he shifts his approach.
Renfield claims he has good and unselfish reasons for his request. He cannot speak of them, but is sure Seward would consider him a friend if he knew. Seward allows him to go on, to see where this goes, and if he'll reveal his intentions.
Van Helsing addresses Renfield as an equal to inquire if he can't put his own doubts to rest by saying what he means. Renfield says he isn't his own master, and he can't say. He can do nothing against Van Helsing's reasoning.
Seward begins to herd the group out, at which point Renfield lunges for him. Seward fears violence, but Renfield only starts pleading and praying for release. He's desperate and frantic, and Seward compares it to the time Renfield wanted a cat.
Renfield raves about how he doesn't care where he's sent, or under what conditions of restraint, just send him away from this place right now. He is crying, and begs Seward to get him out of here, save him from guilt.
Once more, Seward denies him, and Renfield goes to sit on his bed. As Seward is leaving, Renfield calls for him to remember that he did all he could to try and convince him tonight.
After this there's a segment from Jonathan! There is some more discussion of Renfield, here, but nothing I think requires my efforts. Mostly they discuss his demeanor and his request, and we're hearing from Jonathan instead of Seward so there's less......Seward-y-ness to it. Yes, that's a word.
Seward wakes late to a cheerful Van Helsing. He wants to speak to Renfield again, and Seward sends him to it alone since he has work to do.
They speak a little of details of their accounts and the study of mental illness. Van Helsing, in his general commitment to open-mindedness, suggests he has a lot to learn from someone like Renfield.
Van Helsing returns very quickly, and reports that he'd spoken to Renfield...who was sullen and only insulted Van Helsing and refused to speak to him further.
Now Van Helsing's going to talk to Mina. He's very glad she won't be bothered by any more of their campaign against the Count.
Seward agrees that it's better for Mina to be left out of it. He has work to do, Arthur, Jonathan, and Quincey are off investigating the boxes.
Okay next we hear from Mina, and then another entry from Jonathan, and then it's Seward again.
Seward goes to visit Renfield and speak to him again. He's now in a haughty mood, looking down on all others he speaks to. Seward acknowledges that Renfield's moods always mean something beyond himself.
They get to talking about insects, and Renfield says the ancients were right to envision the soul as a butterfly. Seward asks if it's a soul he wants, and Renfield says no - only life. And he's had enough of that, now, if Seward wants to keep studying someone who consumes other lives he'll need a new patient.
Seward asks if Renfield sees himself as a God. Renfield denies this, too, saying he is someone who walks with God (specifically referencing Enoch).
Seward questions this, too, and Renfield's mood shifts again. He's now fawning but deeply cunning. He speaks as though he already has all he wants of life and friends, and also says he has no need for souls and couldn't do anything with them if he got them. he cannot eat them, or - and cuts himself off. After this, he grows silent and sulky, so Seward leaves.
Later, Renfield sends for him. As Seward has nothing more to do and is very interested in the case, he goes. Renfield immediately asks about souls. He's very bothered by Seward's suggestions that he cannot gather life without gathering souls.
Seward wants to see where this goes, and asks about flies and spiders in turn. Regarding flies, Renfield doesn't want their souls around him, and regarding spiders, they're nothing to eat or - and he cuts himself off again.
He hurries on to say he's not interested in such small creatures, when he knows what's before him. Seward presses him on this. Renfield responds in great agitation, and says he has enough on his plate without bothering about souls like this.
Seward fears violence, and so blows a whistle, but Renfield calms immediately. He apologizes for his outburst and says he's irritated and working on a problem, and that if Seward knew what it was he'd be far more patient with him.
Seward dismisses the attendants when they arrive. Renfield expresses gratitude, and Seward leaves him.
Seward ponders the new quirks of Renfield's behavior, and concludes that he's looking for a human life - and that the Count has been to him and is up to something new.
A bit later, Seward tells Van Helsing of all of that business. Van Helsing is very serious and wants to visit Renfield, so they do. Surprisingly, Renfield is once again spreading out sugar to gather flies. He's singing all the while and completely ignores the two doctors.
They leave him, having learned nothing more.
And that's it for today! Seward, you talk so much--

Inside My Phone
나는 그의 연락처를 바꾸는 것으 잊었다. I forgot to change his contact name.
Description: During an appearance on a talk show about all things woman, YouTuber (y/n) reveals some cute relationship facts about her relationship with Seventeen’s Seungcheol. The hosts asked to call him and then his voice appeared in the interview as he’s asked a couple questions about you. Warnings: Swearing Genre: Fluff, Idol!Seungcheol x Fem!Youtuber!Reader Word Count: 2.3k
Seventeen Masterlist | Masterlists
"Alright," Sook, one of the panelists clapped her hands together, "Shall we move onto the next topic?"
My hands got a little sweaty with nerves, "This is the topic I'm most nervous about." I commented, looking at the other women sitting at the camera facing tables.
"The fans love 'Inside My Phone.'" Narae said and I couldn't deny that because I also really enjoyed watching this segment also.
A staff member handed me my phone and I looked to Sook who had a cord that would display my phone on the screen behind me.
"This," She said, holding the cord in front of her face, "Is the magically cord that will reveal what is on your phone. Are you ready, (y/n)?" She asks me with a quirked eyebrow.
I let out an airy chuckle, "I hope so." I tried to burst all the bubbles of nervousness but they still bubbled.
"I'm so curious!" Oh My Girl's Seunghee squealed excitedly from the spot next to Narae as Sook handed me the cord and I plugged it into my phone.
"Won't it be similar to what's on your phone?" Youngja wondered.
Seunghee shook her head, "Youtubers and singers are similar but she's totally different than me." She explained, "Plus, she might have cute photos with her boyfriend."
Narae clapped her hands, "Right! You don't have anything we should be worried about, right?" She asked her heavily hinted question, tilting her head down and rapidly blinked her eyes.
I shook my hands and head, but played into her joke. "There aren't any. I double checked last night." Though, there were never any naughty pictures on my phone to start with. We kept those somewhere else (😏).
"So, should we start then?" Sook asked everyone once the PD's gave us the clear connection for my phone.
"First up, your lock screen." Narae reads from her cue cards.
I awakened my phone and my lock screen shined up at me. The picture of Seungcheol and I surrounded by cherry blossoms graced my phone screen, only the time and date distorting the picture. The memory of the day made me smile and made the others coo.
"As expected." Youngja nodded her head in approval.
"When was this taken?" Sook asked me with curiosity.
"Mmmm, about..." I trailed off in thought, trying to pinpoint when we took this photo, "3-4 months ago, I think..." I answered her and gave her a slightly apologetic look for not remembering more clearly.
"Yah, that's so cute." Seunghee sighed, staring at the screen. I nearly blushed from all the compliments about us.
"Next, if you would unlock your phone." Sook pressed forward and I quickly followed her instructions. "What's the most recent photo you took?" She finished her part.
"Uh..." I opened my photos app, "Like selfie or screenshot or...?" "Selfie." Seunghee piped up excitedly.
I smiled at her answer and scanned my pictures for the last selfie I took. Which just happened to also have Seungcheol in it. I clicked on it and it filled my screen.
In it, Seungcheol has his post-practice face smooshed up against my left cheek and my face shows a smile of shock that he had done that. In the background, however, are a few of the members doing some interesting things.
"Stop being so cute!" Youngja exclaimed and swatted her hands in my direction.
"Can you explain what is happening?" Narae wondered and I nodded.
"A few days ago, I went to pick Seungcheol up for a small date and he was a little sweaty." I explained, "But he had asked to use my camera to fix his hair. Then he smooshed his cheek against mine and took the picture."
"All sweaty?" Sook asked.
I nodded with a laugh, "Yeah. It was gross."
"But the picture is cute." Narae complimented.
"But what is happening in the background?" Seunghee asked, pointing up to the screen with a little bit of worry.
I squinted at my phone and zoomed in on the background where Hoshi and DK were caught posing in some really weird ways and Vernon and Woozi just stare at them with their arms crossed over their chests.
"Ah, I think that's Hoshi and DK, uhm, yeah, I don't really know what they're doing." I laughed, "Probably some thing that only makes sense in their minds."
"They sure are characters." Sook chuckled. "Shall we continue on?"
I nodded, ready to get Hoshi and DK's weird poses off my screen.
"Last song or album you downloaded onto your phone." Narae said.
"That's easy." I opened my music app and scrolled down a bit, "It was Monsta X's new album." I tapped on the album but Seunghee's squeal made me quickly swipe back.
"OH!" She covered her mouth with her hand, "You have our album on your phone?"
I scrolled down a little more and there it sat. "Yeah, I really enjoyed it." I told her with a smile.
"Wait, how did you see that? It was like not even halfway visible." Sook wondered, looking at Seunghee with bewildered eyes.
"An artist knows their album cover from anywhere." I said, recalling the many times Seungcheol would point out their new release from a ridiculous distance away.
"Exactly." Seunghee said smugly, liking the fact that I defended her, "I could find our albums anywhere."
"Don't test her, Seunghee." Narae warned her as Sook pointed a playfully threatening finger at her.
"I really like their album." Youngja said absentmindedly and we all whipped our heads toward her, "The Monsta X album." She clarified, pointing up at the screen.
We all dropped our jaws slightly in realization and chuckled.
"Next question: what is the last text message you received?" Sook tapped her cue cards against the table and my heartbeat jumped.
"Uh, last text message I received..." I said slowly, and opened my messages app. Preparing for it to be a really embarrassing conversation in the group chat, I'm relieved when my most recent conversation is a private conversation with Seungcheol.
"Cheollie?" Narae read out his name and I almost bursted into laughter. He definitely told me to change his contact name yesterday and I definitely forgot. Oh, he was going to be so pouty when this show aired.
"I forgot to change his contact name." I squeezed my eyes shut in embarrassment. "He's going to be pouty."
"Why?" Youngja wondered, "It's cute!"
"Hey, you sound like a fangirl." Narae pointed at Youngja with a laugh.
"I'm just stating facts." Youngja defended herself.
"What did Seungcheol send you?" Sook wondered, ignoring the other two women.
"Uh, he said," I opened the conversation and the last message he sent made my heart fill with love.
'Hey, you, I don't remember when you said your filming thing is but good luck! You'll do amazing! Call me when you're done and we can do something. Love you!'
Seunghee giggled and Narae and Sook put their hands over their hearts and leaned back in their chairs. Youngja just awed at the message. It was a little weird having such large reactions to a simple, pretty normal, text message so all I could do was laugh at the awkward position I was in.
"Ya, I don't think any of my friends get messages like that and they're married!" Sook said, regaining some of her composure. Seunghee was still very much still in the feels.
"It's pretty normal for us." I told her, "We don't do it often but if we know the other has a really big schedule, we'll send supportive messages like that."
"By chance," Narae started with an unexplainable excitement in her eyes, "Do you think you could call him?"
I paused to glance at the PD's behind the cameras but they were saying it was okay to go off script.
"If he's free." Sook added, quickly taking in my silence, "If he's busy, we don't want to bother him."
"I don't think he has anything going on today." I tried to recall if he told me of any plans he had for the day, "I can try calling him."
Narae and Sook clapped their hands for me while I tapped on Seungcheol's profile picture and hit the call button before turning it on speaker.
We all sat in silence, listening to the first ring. Then the second. Then the third.
"Maybe he's busy..." Seunghee whispered.
"Maybe his phone's off." Youngja suggested.
I shook my head, "He doesn't really turn his ringer off if he-"
The receiver picking up cut me off.
"Hey, love." Seungcheol's deep voice rings through the phone. "Are you already finished?"
All four women got really giddy and their jaws dropped open.
"No, not yet." I answered him before he got worried. "Do you have time to call? Are you busy?" I asked.
"I'm not busy. I'm just hanging out at the dorm." He told me and I felt relief spread across my shoulders. "Are you good?"
"Yeah, yeah, I'm fine." I chuckled at his question, "We're just recording and we are doing 'Inside My Phone' segment. They saw the text you sent and wanted to call you."
"Ah, that text." He chuckled over the phone in embarrassment. "Wait! That means you're recording right now?"
"Yeah." I told him and he instantly cleared his throat.
"Hello, I'm Seventeen's leader, S.Coups. Also known as YouTuber (y/n)'s boyfriend, Choi Seungcheol. Nice to meet you." He introduced himself with his leader voice and I nearly busted a lung from laughing.
"Nice to meet you, S.Coups." Sook said, getting closer to my phone. "I'm Kim Sook and Park Narae, Lee Youngja, and Oh My Girl's Seunghee are also with me."
"Seunghee's there?" Seungcheol asked, clearly surprised.
"Yes I am, sunbae!" Seunghee jumped up with excitement.
"Oh, Seunghee, I didn't know you'd be on the show." Seungcheol commented.
"(y/n) didn't tell you, sunbae?" Seunghee asked, shooting me a glance but I just shrugged. I didn't even know she was coming until I showed up for the recording.
"No, but I don't think she knew." Seungcheol explained and I clicked my tongue.
"S.Coups." Narae spoke up, "(y/n) said that you guys send texts to each other before big events."
"Yes, that's true." Seungcheol said.
"So when was the last time she sent you a text like that?" Narae finished her question.
"Uh..." Seungcheol trailed off in thought, "Last month when I had my first solo magazine shoot." He answered and the studio erupted in reactions.
"Yahhh. You two seem to match each other really well." Sook commented and Seungcheol let out an embarrassed laugh.
"What is your favorite thing about (y/n)?" Narae suddenly asked, turning the show into a special on our relationship.
"This suddenly?" Seungcheol chuckled nervously.
"You don't have to answer." I quickly tried to save him from having to answer it but he decided to answer anyway.
"No, no, it's fine. It was just unexpected." Seungcheol said and took a couple seconds to collect his thoughts, "Well, my favorite thing would have to be how considerate she is."
"Can you explain that?" Sook wondered and I lightly smacked her arm while giving her a 'why?' expression.
"She's just very caring towards everyone." Seungcheol explained, "The Seventeen members, our staff, other staff, and even the fans. She's very kind to them."
"That's right. She is really kind." Sook nodded her head in agreement and patted my shoulder.
There was some noise on his end of the line and I leaned forward to take over the conversation again.
"Everything good?" I asked, knowing the noise was probably the other members talking to him.
"Yeah, but I think I'm going to have to go. I'm being summoned by Woozi to fix some lyrics or something." Seungcheol said with an apology laced into his tone.
"Yeah, yeah. Go ahead." I told him, "I'll call you when I get done."
"Okay, sounds good." He replied, "Thank you Sook, Narae, Youngja, and Seunghee! (y/n), have fun!"
We all said bye before I hung up the call. After settling back into their chairs, Sook was the first to speak.
"That was so nice that he was able to talk for a little bit." Sook commented, scooting closer to the table.
"It was." I mirrored her content.
"So, tell us, (y/n)," Narae turned to me, "Do you have any big projects coming up?"
"Of course, I have many projects planned for the next few months." I teased her with a smile, "But they're all secrets for now."
Seunghee let out a small whine, "Can't you tell us about one of them? Like just who it's going to be with?"
"Yeah," Sook agreed, "Just give us a little hint. A tiny baby hint."
Youngja sat in her chair nodding aggressively.
I rested my hand over my lips, contemplating if I can or if I should. Glancing at my manager, she gave me a small shrug of indifference.
"Okay, I'll give you three hints for certain upcoming videos." I caved and the others clapped in excitement. I listed off the hints with my hands, "First hint is shopping. Second hint is colors. Third hint is boyfriend." I said and then clamped my mouth shut, not giving any other information.
"That's it? You're not going to explain?" Youngja said with a pout.
"She can't do that." Sook calmed the other woman, "They're hints. The fans have to try and guess, right?"
"Right, that's how hints work." I nodded, confirming Sook's guess.
"Well, thank you for coming, for talking with us, and for giving us those hints." Narae began the ending. "We'll see you at the Girl's Table next week."
"On Wednesday night." Sook continued.
"At 8:45." Seunghee stated the time.
"On KBS!" Youngja finished and we all smiled and waved at the camera.
Once the cameras were off, I moved to pull the cord out of my phone. But just as I do so, a text from Seungcheol lit up the screen.
It read, "You did remember to change my contact name, right?"

Carol/Daryl/Leah Connections from @wdway:
Morning Everyone! This week I’ll be posting some conversations between me and my fellow theorists. I’m actually moving this week and was packing up even last weekend, so I didn’t have time to write anything new, and haven’t recorded any new YouTube videos either. But that’s okay.
This week, I get to showcase the brilliance of my fellow theorists. Today and tomorrow, I’ll be posting some Leah comparisons @wdway dug up for us. This is really compelling stuff!
@wdway:
Last week in talking about doing research I had mentioned that I thought my project would be to look at FM again, because I've always felt that there was more Beth in the story than what we see only looking at the surface. After all, we are not casual viewers that accept what we see on the surface. We always want to dig deeper. With that in mind, boy, did I go down a major rabbit hole!
I am so excited to share what I have. I'm just going to concentrate on Daryl, Carol, Leah and Beth. I think it will blow your mind. It did mine. I want to believe the reason the writers did it this way is that even the most basic, on the surface viewer would get some recognition of Daryl's memory with Leah being somewhat of a repeat with Carol. Which would mean that his memory is not accurate.
When I started Beth's remix it surprised me after researching similar scenes from Still and Alone how very little that we see of Leah that was original and without shades of other characters.
I put subtitles on while getting shots so that you could compare dialogue.
The only comment I'll make for this segment is that Daryl puts the fish in his right pocket that Leah had caught. The shot next to it is from Still, when he puts chewing gum in his right pocket in the golf shop.
The next segment is Carol and Daryl's conversation compared to the one with Daryl and Leah.
There is no way you can convince me that he is not simply re-mixing Carol conversation with Leah conversation.
I'll start giving you the Beth remixes tomorrow.
@galadrieljones:
I think you’re absolutely right; these scenes mirror each other. I don’t know why. But they do. All that stuff in Find Me still feels very unresolved. The only way to read it is through this almost psychoanalytical lens where Daryl is repeating and recycling aspects of women he has loved and lost in some way and imprinting them on Leah. Looking forward to the rest of your findings!!
