i recently found your blog and i’m in love !! <3

ʚ𖦹ɞ Obsession with Flesh: Candy Pop’s fascination with flesh goes beyond just consuming it. He believes there is a “proper” way to eat flesh and has engaged in heated debates with others, like EJ, about the correct method. This obsession hints at a darker side to his character.

ʚ𖦹ɞ Long Hair: Candy Pop’s incredibly long hair is not just a fashion statement but a symbol of his longevity and resistance to change. He has kept his hair untouched since the King and Queen ages, showcasing his attachment to tradition and history.

ʚ𖦹ɞ Elaborate Makeup Routine: Spending up to two hours on his makeup daily, Candy Pop takes great care in crafting his appearance. This meticulous routine reflects his attention to detail and desire for perfection.

ʚ𖦹ɞ Drag Enthusiast: Delving into drag performances, Candy Pop finds joy in exploring different identities through this art form. His love for drag highlights his playful and expressive nature. More depressing thoughts: ʚ𖦹ɞ Candy Pop’s acts of violence are not just physical but also psychological, as he revels in creating disturbing scenarios to terrorize his victims.

ʚ𖦹ɞ His methods of torture are gruesome and macabre, often involving intricate setups that maximize the horror experienced by those unfortunate enough to encounter him.

ʚ𖦹ɞ Candy Pop can be seen frolicking around with children, spreading joy and laughter wherever he goes. His presence brings smiles to the faces of the innocent little ones, and his colorful appearance captivates all who lay eyes on him. ʚ𖦹ɞ However, as the sun sets and darkness descends upon the land, a sinister transformation takes place within Candy Pop. His once cheerful demeanor morphs into something malevolent and twisted. The same entity that once loved children now harbors dark thoughts of harm and destruction towards them. The very sight of kids becomes a trigger for his violent tendencies, sending shivers down the spines of those who dare to cross his path.

Hey, how y'all doing…I crawled out of my hole finally so here is your long awaited candy pop headcanon that is kinda a bit scatterbrained :c

I am doing a skin assignment so naturally I'm drawing BEN like usual and

Look at him, rendered. :)

But then I remember what I posted a few days back and

How the fuck did I think that the piece on left is comparable or postable I do not know, yet here we are anyway. I should render fully more often.

In any case the new BEN you see on the right is going to be a part of a bigger piece called: "What the fuck is skibbidi toilet? I go scare them and they say 'Gyatt with that old man rizz', BEN, BEN what the fuck does that meAN-"

Here is a bit more of the process, he'll have his hair down like in the first pic for the finished version :)

Now and Then Day

This sideblog began after watching Get Back nagged and nagged at me until finally I started to look closer at context relative to the Beatles discography and suddenly started experiencing these WAIT WHAT moments every day as what I thought I knew got turned inside out. The appeal was in looking at something you knew like the back of your hand from another direction and seeing/hearing something new you hadn’t seen/heard before. But I had no idea we’d get another song to add to the mix in 2023.

I knew Now and Then day would be an experience. I thought I’d have to wait the whole day before listening. But I got lucky and found a few minutes to listen to Now and Then when it was first released this morning. And inexplicably clicked to hear the remastered Love Me Do instead. I cannot explain my brain.

I then tried to start Now and Then and noped out before 15 seconds in. Too overwhelming. Not the right time. I was too rushed and needed more space to mentally prepare for it.

I caught NPR covering the Now and Then release today on my drive home. They had a Lennon biographer (I didn’t catch the name) reviewing the song. He said the song recalls John’s more delicate tunes like Beautiful Boys (sic) and mentioned John started the song in 1970.

Say what?!

Here I was late last night trying to nail down a better date for John’s demo than “late 70s”. Meanwhile, biographers are just here on national public radio pushing lies. Did he have ChatGPT write his comments?

Oh yeah, they also said it was created with AI no qualifier.🤦‍♀️

They played a few snippets of the song including one new piece not in the doc but refrained from playing it in full. It was mostly wrong Beatles facts all segment.

Trying the song a second time hours later, I got through it in one piece but was feeling abit 🥴 about it as a song itself. Having just listened to the original demo was probably a mistake, and I could hear all the seams and feeling the Frankenstein song effect.

Third attempt sounded more together, with the seams not quite as noticeable. I was prepared for the changes, the layering bits from other songs, and noted highlights of the instrumentals: the strings, George’s guitar bits, and Ringo’s flourishes. I love Paul coming through on the future tense certainty of “I will love you” (is that I Will?). Ringo’s shimmering effect choice (is it tams?) is such an entrancing closer. Giles’ score and Beatles recycled bits do mend the seams well once I stop thinking about them too much.

On fourth listen, my biggest notes are questioning why Paul’s harmony with John isn’t more distinct. He shows a lot of restraint here but maybe too much? Did Get Back get to him in other ways than the most obvious? Is he just self-conscious about his own voice? Or is it the limitation of the tech when it comes to harmony mixing?

The strings were what I was most worried about, but their entrance at the 1:15 mark really kicks it up a notch to transition into the singalong. Other standouts are 1:40 with George’s flourish and 2:29 peak with the guitar solo.

Lyrically, it’s the conditional and if I make it through it’s all because of you that haunts in layers of meaning both grim and cathartic that reverberate through time and space.

If John makes it through emotionally to 1980 and has a comeback? Congrats, bud you did it. But he’s stopped physically through no fault of his own. There’s the obvious mourning of that lost potential even 40 years later.

If this song this voice this message of John’s makes it through to 2023 and reaches the public? Well, success there, Paul’s tenacity saw it through with help from many friends. John’s voice and song lives on through Paul’s wish to conjure him by his side. On the Day of the Dead no less. I was reminded of the concept of tulpas today and was knocked back on my heels by the thought.

If John as an artist and Beatles as a band make it through so fans are still listening in 2023? This doubles as a bit of a fan love letter, and thank you for 60 years. Released on the day Beatlemania first appeared in black and white.

But then there’s also a reflector on this. Some original Beatles fans have aged with Paul and Ringo and others have not and aren’t here to share this like John and George. There’s grief and mourning from those still here about those lost, and the song acts as a catharsis. A kind of thank you to the band for being there for fans in good times and bad. The symbiosis of fame between a band and its fans across the decades.

It’s a lot.

I spent some time looking at the youtube comments on the song. Some original fans but many second and even third generation fans. And quite a few stories about a loved one who loved the band and recently passed away like this one:

And this:

But also in there are stories of catharsis and healing.

And many memories of the joy that Beatles music has brought to people’s lives. We all have these stories of how their songs weave into our own life. But it’s the joy that I keep coming back to as the secret sauce to the band’s earliest days. I often think of those early songs more in terms of feeling then anything, and it starts with the first single.

I love the Love Me Do remastering. That harmonica sounds so crisp. The bluegrassy harmonies have never sounded better. The ones on ple-ee-ee-ease still give me chills. Ringo’s drums moved forward in the mix to appreciate that driving beat just a bit more. I can hear the bass too. I can’t wait to hear what the other early Red album tracks sound like.

But next to Now and Then, I’m also looking at the lyrics like I never did before. Why give it another glance? Written by a 16 year old kid, it always sounded a bit juvenile and simple. But suddenly next to Now and Then, there’s a weight to it I never heard before.

Love, love me do

You know I love you

I’ll always be true

So please, love me do

It sounds like a promise. Now and Then is fulfillment of that always. It’s no longer just the whim of a kid. But rather the beginning of 7 decade devotional: To John, to the band, to fans, and reflected back again. The love is reciprocal from all sides.

How’s that for a WAIT WHAT moment? Paul turning the least likely song inside out and backwards. And he didn’t even add a lyrical middle eight.

hey, can someone reply to this or dm/ask/discord/wherever and answer this question: is it ever stated where yagami lives? like, does he have an apartment/house somewhere, does he just crash at his agency on the couch every night or is it just never mentioned at all?

im writing a thing and i need to know that because i feel it would shift the weight of a particular thing happening in his office if that also doubles as his home in a way. am i making sense?

[disdaidal]

Do you guys use other websites to host your fanfiction to besides AO3?

[astupidweeb69]

if you get an ask for Julius the Dressmaker dont do it

the character is a rapist and necrophiliac

the creator and his fans are problematic and have bullied other creators

I didn't even know that was a character, so I'd never take a request for them.

On that subject:

There's a few pastas I won't write for - either due to a problem with their character/concept, the creator, or because I don't know much about them.

Like I won't write for Laughing Jack because of the creator, AND because his whole concept of killing children is not something I even want to think about.

And the whole Offenderman thing is just weird to me. But I never really liked any of the Slenderman "brothers" or whatever you call them.

usa vs nigera

we have not seen an actual usa tip off since the exhibition game. nbc do better [i have to specify bc i did see tip off in the france australia game]

interesting how they didn't call this one a slow start... even though we were clanking that rim real hard in the first 5

bg block

DT 3 [ i knew this was coming i knew when it was coming i still clapped anyways ] [and basically on her first touch of the game]

DT -> BG [and they count them as assists on FTs]

DT -> AT

DT -> A'ja

we should have gotten another dt to a'ja but we got a bg rebound and bucket :)

i love it when team usa comes together to force a shot clock violation

DT no look -> KAH 3

Once again thinking abt where the hell ultra rare even came from

[columbos-dog]

Hey did you guys know that the Colombia v Ireland friendly match got called off because of physicality. Did you guys know that. Did everyone hear that yet. Just not sure if everyone knew about it or if the commentators should bring it up again.

I am so disappointed with children these these days, all they do is play video games and photo apps

Why don't kids torture animals or hit each other with sticks or summon demons anymore?

I hate technology

[p1ckthep01son]

why are gabe and william so not normal about each other like i understand because if i was in either of their bodies and saw the other one it would be on sight but. who was letting them call each other papi and make weird tweets about each other and why did gabe say "ass looks great william" just barely within register of the camera's mic in a guy ripley video and why did gabe call william his "little snuggle buddy" on livejournal and why did william say gabe was "one of the only people he could trust" and why did gabe say he loved william's "pale hairless body" and why did william go through a phase where he would sporadically post photos of himself and gabe on instagram and caption them things like "still shipping" and just straight up using the #gabilliam why did william say that people who thought gabilliam was real were "dreaming, but it's a nice dream" genuinely what the fuck is wrong with the two of them. i love their love so much
