💍 for Connor and Tsubaki

where they get married

Assuming they don’t get married in the heat of battle, like that one scene from Pirates of the Caribbean 3 – they get married properly at a church/temple, probably sometime in the spring, since Tsubaki always wanted to get married under cherry blossoms.

The ceremony’s probably going to be a small thing and officiated by Connor’s aunt, or an actual priest.

what traditions they include (do they get married under a chuppah and crush a glass, garter toss, ‘something borrowed, something blue,’ etc. )

 Aside from the bouquet and garter tosses, they take part in the San-San-Kudo, a ritual which is commonly part of Shinto weddings

What their wedding cake looks like?

A three-tiered cake with decorative branches of cherry blossoms made from buttercream frosting.

…. who smashes cake into whose face?

To the surprise of everyone, Tsubaki smashes the cake into Connor’s face.

Who proposed to who first?

Connor was the one who proposed to Tsubaki, it was right before the two of them had separate missions. Knowing Tsubaki and not wanting to make her uncomfortable, Connor made sure that his proposal was a private thing, just the two of them.

who walks down the aisle and who waits at the altar (or neither)

Tsubaki’s walked down the aisle by her grandfather. Per tradition, Connor waits at the altar and seeing Tsubaki in her dress takes his breath away.

what their wedding dresses / suits / other look like

Connor’s suit is black, with a dark green waistcoat, while Tsubaki wears a white dress which takes cues from a traditional bridal kimono.

What their vows are.

 They're pretty traditional vows, but there's an added bit about always having each other's back in a fight.

who’s in the bridal parties/groomsmen /other

While Shanyin’s the best man, Laura shares her duties as Maid of Honor with Tsubaki’s sister Shion. Mostly because the Maid of Honor for a Huntsman Wedding probably has to do a pre-ceremony sweep for crashers, and Shion’s a civilian.

what their bridal party / groomsmen / other are wearing

The bridesmaids and groomsmen are allowed to wear their own suits and dresses. There wasn't a real unifying color scheme for them.

who gives speeches at the reception (bonus: what do they say? recount a sweet memory or two between them? tell an embarrassing story?)

At least three people give speeches, usually recounting sweet memories, with a few good-natured jabs about how long it took for Connor and Tsubaki to realize they liked each other.

who catches the bouquet(s)

It’s either Laura or Shion. Ouka managed to catch the garter.

what their wedding photos are like (are they sweet, with the couple holding hands or kissing or ~gazing into each others eyes~? are they silly, with a snapshot of the ‘cake-smash’ moment? or are they artistic, with one of them facing the sunset or holding their bouquets? )

There’s a combination of sweet and silly photos.

what sort of food they have at the reception

I'm not entirely sure about the menu, but I'm pretty sure the fish option is a salt-crusted sea bream, seeing as that's a traditional Japanese meal for good fortune

who cries first during the ceremony

Tsubaki cries right after kissing Connor, because that's the moment when she realizes it's all real

how wild their reception gets (who dances the best, who gets drunk first, etc. )

The reception starts pretty tame – but gets wild halfway through. No one gets really drunk, but a good chunk of the party are probably going to have a good buzz going.

Shanyin and Tsubaki's brother decide to settle who's the better dancer.

Connor's aunt Morgan starts teaching everyone drinking songs near the end of it.

What their rings are like

The two of them made each other’s rings. Connor’s ring for Tsubaki was a golden band with five pink tourmalines set to look like a five-petalled cherry blossom. Meanwhile, Tsubaki’s ring for Connor was a golden band with Celtic knotwork inlaid in silver.

what sort of favours they have ( heart shaped sparklers, mini champagne bottles, personalised candy etc. )

Probably something simple, mini champagne bottles, personalized candy, a few bottles of Dust for the huntsmen and huntresses in attendance.

where they go for their honeymoon

The two of them probably take a trip to Mistral

something memorable that happens during the party / ceremony ( do they run out of ice and someone goes to get it in full formal wear on foot, does anyone fall asleep in the middle of the party, etc. )

A few things happened, a group of mercenaries hired by Connor’s mom crashed the ceremony in a last-ditch effort to drag Connor away from being a Huntsman, who are then dealt with before the ceremony can get back on track.

During the reception, Shanyin challenges Tsubaki’s older brother Ouka to a dance-off, and Laura settles a bet with someone that she can in fact, shoot a bottle off someone’s head with just a garter.

what song their first dance is to

Merry-Go-Round of Life, it might be a bit on the nose, but it kind of feels right for them.

Someone get me this on a white patch or a t-shirt and I'll love you forever and maybe buy you a beer x

Ultimate Guide to Patch Pants (identifying and creating)

A Comprehensive and In Depth Guide for those with a More than Passing Interest in Patch Pants So, I’m sure most of those reading have heard of crust pants, or patch pants, or whatever you want to call them. But I have never seen a total, complete and comprehensive guide for identification and creation of truly beautiful patch pants. The terms crust pants and patch pants will be used interchangeably during this guide. Note this guide will only cover more developed crust pants and will not deal with kinderpunk pants.  I have created a number of crust/patch pants and this information comes directly from experience I have in creation of patch pants, information I have been given by other people who have created what I consider quite beautiful patch pants, as well as observations of other people’s craftsmanship both in real life and the internet. I will be using pictures from a variety of sources, but all should be collected on fuckyeahcrustpants (my patch pants archive blog), and that is where I will be linking the pictures from. Creation:  This section is going to be almost entirely writing, if you want examples of what is discussed here the identification section will help. There are a few different methods of going about making crust pants, some which yield significantly more aesthetically pleasing and genuine looking results than others. Of course a given is the longer you own them, the better they get, if you put genuine time and effort into your creation they will reflect that, careful sewing and a fine understanding of a number of different stitches and their appropriate applications will assist in your ability to mend properly, darning is a useful option but it does not have a very wide spread use among punks. It is also extremely time consuming, but I personally find it produces pleasing results. The first step when one begins a pair of crust pants is either tearing/cutting holes in them (this can result in a less genuine appearance as the holes may look artificial) or one can choose to wait for holes to develop, this results in a fine patina as well as holes which look like they have genuinely developed from wear (because they have). Having a patina underneath the layers of patches also adds to the effect as patches wear away they expose the already dirt-shined interior layer.  The next thing to consider is materials, this can include almost any kind of fabric and almost any kind of thread, although careful thought for both utilitarian and aesthetic purposes should be used for the placement of each patch and what material and thread is being used to repair the hole. It is often best to use patches which are either darker than or the same color as the base pants being created (this generally results in a more cohesive appearance), or one may choose to use white or an off tan if one prefers patina/dirt shine to be more visible. It’s important to note the lighter the fabric you use the darker dirt will appear on it.

Some of the more popular options for thread on patch pants include; artificial or real sinew, waxed dental floss, yarn, very fine strips of leather, or standard thread. Waxed floss and sinew either artificial or real hold some benefits over standard thread, it is much more durable and one may use a lighter to melt the the floss to creating a seal at the end of a line of stitches.   Popular choices for fabrics include; dark denim or standard black broadcloth, oilskin, bike or motorcycle inner tube, leather (scavenged from old couches, old leather jackets, boots, etc.) and work-wear canvas. Denim and canvas are generally softer and are best for lower wear areas or areas you don’t want to be stiff, including the mid thigh, mid shin, back of the knee and crotch. On the other hand, leather, oilskin, and inner tube are much more durable and much stronger but are also stiffer and will be uncomfortable if used in multiple layers, or used in places that are normally flexible in pants, they are best for the knees, or ass and can also be used on the front of the thigh and front of the shine, but too many layers will feel weird. If one chooses to wait for holes to form there will be an inevitable order in which the pants will get patches, it will start on both the ass and the knees. The edges of the pockets, the crotch, and the bottom cuff of the pants will fail next, and after that the front thighs and shins, back of knees and the back of the thighs and shins. Patches will slowly radiate from high wear areas similar to growth rings: Estimates of age can be made simply from view by recognizing the location of and density of patches. There are a number of different techniques to repairing each of these sections of a pair of pants, generally strips of whatever material is being used sewn with a standard straight whip stitch will suffice, but one may wish to switch up their method for aesthetic variation or utilitarian purposes.  A diagonal whip stitch or a blanket stitch around pockets or cuffs is a useful way of stopping small tears or spots of wear from spreading. One may also sew a patch overlapping the pockets or cuff on both sides sewing the perimeter of the patch and doing a running stitch or line whip stitch along the seam underneath the patch.  Repairing soft pockets is something I have not seen only limited information  about but I will cover it here, one can use pieces of white t-shirt for the inside of pockets when they fail. One can attach them through the use of dental floss or regular thread, but sinew is too thick and will be uncomfortable. It is best to put knots and melted thread nodules on the side of the pocket facing away from the leg as unless long johns are worn they will rub uncomfortably against the leg. This applies to knots and melted thread nodules in general, which should always be placed on the outside of the pants for the same reason. Belt loops can be replaced or repaired with the use of a thin strip of leather simply by sewing each side of it to the spots where the previous belt loop was.   Darning can also be used on almost any part of a pair of pants, and will provide rigidity and durability to weak areas, it can be done with or without a patch, and the patch can be placed over or under the fabric of the pants. This allows reinforcement of areas you may not want to cover because of appealing patchwork at the location in question. Traditional methods of affixing patches can be used as well. A method where ones cuts around the hole, or cuts slits to fold fabric around the edge of the hole to create an additional seam underneath which the patch is sewn using a running stitch around the perimeter followed by a whip stitch around the edge of the patch. Varying  these several repair techniques will allow you to create a more interesting and textured layer of patches.  Band patches as well as zippers and additional pockets are another consideration. First I will cover band patches, generally using moderation in the number of band patches will create the most interesting effect, having too many band patches will make you look really weird and will make the pants less interesting. Selecting bands around a specific sub-genre, or sub-culture helps create a more cohesive look and allows people to gauge how much you have in common in regards to musical interest. This is definitely not a hard rule though, as varying the types of music you have can either be funny (between extremely different genres) or simply look good.  Zippers can be used for aesthetic or utilitarian purposes, but it’s more fun to have them do something useful. If one puts a zipper along the thigh it’s nice to add a pocket underneath, you can also put them over the entrance to pockets, or entirely around a leg to allow it to be detachable. Pockets can also be added where there is a slit in the original fabric of the pants shows through between two patches simply by cutting that slit and then affixing a piece of fabric or another pocket underneath.  Some people choose to put a number of coatings on their pants to assist in the development of a patina, this may range anywhere from graphite, to coal tar, to motor oil, olive oil, or coconut, to simply rubbing dirt on them. The most attractive and genuine looking patina comes from simply allowing your pants to develop dirt shine on their own, if you live kinda gross your pants will reflect this, using them as napkins during your meals and wiping stuff from other art projects, work, or travel is a good way to build up a patina as well. Patina and dirt shine will vary in appearance depending up whether a coating was applied and depending upon your environment, if you go to a lot of shows, if you’re a house punk or a train hopper, if you work in a certain environment the patina will change in thickness, shininess, and color.  Identification: There are a number of different styles of patch pants, all from different sub genres or communities within punk. Here I will display and then explain the significance of stylistic decisions made within a selection. Generally there are variations in patch pants based on geography or sub-culture. Keep in mind these are by no means hard and fast rules but rather overarching themes I've noticed. 

This is a pair of japanese crasher crust pants, they’re characterized generally by giant knee holes mainly black or dark fabric patches, they’re often sewn without the use of dental floss, although it may still be used. Sometimes pins are attached, zippers are used heavily. They may or may not have heavy dirt shine or patina. Band patches are generally used with moderation and are usually inter-community bands. 

This is a pair of a slightly more modern style american traveling punk patch pant, they often focus more on browns and off-greys for patch color as well as utilizing white which eventually turns an off brown or black due to patina. Band patches may be used moderately to heavily depending on the person. Zippers are used more sparsely. Larger patches are generally used and the use of leather, bike inner-tube, and oilskin is much more common. North American traveling punks as depicted here will also often use overalls rather than regular pants, these are referred to by people in the traveling community as “bibs”. 

This is a pair of classic crust/stench core pants from the UK. They are characterized by heavy dirty shine, almost all large black or very dark brown patches, few band patches, light use of zippers. They also often seem to have cargo pockets, which isn’t as common on other styles.  Well that pretty much covers the 3 main styles,  there are many other variations from all over the world but these are the 3 that stuck out to me as being highly influential.  Conclusion: I hope this guide has been useful to anyone wishing to start a pair of patch pants of their own, or that it has simply been an enjoyable read for anyone who is  interested in the topic! I had a lot of fun writing this. : )

   This is the first part of my ambitious and yet, as always, humble diachronic retrospective about Japanese crust, from 1989 to 2019. Crust is here to be understood in its sonic as well as aesthetic dimension and the selection aims at representing the different schools of crust (crasher, stenchcore or scandi) and I believe the soundscape hence depicted will be meaningful, relevant and bloody enjoyable. More details on the blog: https://terminalsoundnuisance.blogspo...​ The first installment illustrates how the Japanese punk scene spent History's crustiest decade, the 90's, with 35 bands and as many songs, all recorded between 1989 and 1999, in about 70 minutes.

WARCRY - Keep Drinking Attitude 12”

(1993/2009, Japan, Self-released/ Crust War)

Although this is the inferior Warcry, it is still an interesting record in the history of Japanese crasher crust. Pre Gloom, Zoe & Defector. Originally self released on tape in 1993 and then released on vinyl by Crust War.

Finally back in stock! On their debut full-length LP for Sentient Ruin Canadian/American gore/war noise butchers Bestial Putrefaction reach the zenith of total audial barbarity, hoisting atop a fuming stockpile of severed limbs and rotting flesh the foul banner of total gore and immorality. A remastered compilation featuring their recent self-released "Gore Drenched Barbarism" EP on side A and their previous self-released debut demo tape on side B, the "Eternal Flesh Ripping Chaos" LP (an obvious ode to the legend of early Carcass) condenses all tracks released so far by the band under a new single effigy of total continuous terror, bringing to light the senseless audial savagery that paved the deranged duo's emergence from the nethermost pits of depravity and established them as an authentic living monument to complete chaos and inhumanity. Synthesized from the most outlandish outer limits of bestial war metal, goregrind and pure noise, the band's barely held together terrorscape stands out as an authentic and barely explainable absurdity, as it launches into senseless exaggerations of audial violence and barbarity borderlining both the shocking and the unexplainable. In its horrid twenty-six track, twenty-eight minute onslaught of total inhumanity and abandon "Eternal Flesh Ripping Chaos" sees Bestial Putrefaction chaotically condense the violence and perversion of diverse extreme entities like Revenge, early Carcass, Chaos Cascade, Archgoat, and Pissgrave with Japanese noise and crasher crust to wage a violent and gruesome war against the purity and dignity of christendom and execute a vile act of ultimate and definitive defilement toward the human race and all its manifestations in every shape and form. #bestialputrefaction #sentientruinlaboratories #deathmetal #blackmetal #chaos #noise #blackeneddeathmetal #heavymetal #extrememusic #vinyladdict #vinylgeek #vinylgram #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #vinyl #vinylcollection #vinylcollector #records #recordcollection #recordcollector (presso Bassano del Grappa) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWdrCB-IxIR/?utm_medium=tumblr
