ABOUT

Devon was born in Center Hill and grew up in an unstable home along with her brother, Dominic. Both her parents, Allen and Mary, were criminals with ties to The Reapers and it seemed like trouble could find them anywhere. She and Dominic were in and out of the system whenever they were locked up and, eventually, they were deemed wholly unfit to maintain custody of both of them. CPS put them in the foster care system, determining that that was better than a home with loving parents who sometimes got in trouble.

She put on a brave face whenever they moved homes, but would maintain a steady dose of cynicism and mistrust because she never thought it would last long. And she was right. They ended up being split up a few times over the years and those were the worst months for Devon. She had to learn to speak up for herself, to stay calm and bide her time. 

Once her brother aged out of the system, she hoped he could take her in, but it’s never that simple and his involvement with the Reapers disqualified him from being a real guardianship candidate. Devon continued to be shuffled around and one family refused to let Dominic talk to her, not wanting him to be a bad influence. She made their life a living hell, defiance running through her veins as she demanded to see her brother the next time he came around. The family shuffled her a week later. The only truly nice family she was with was the last one, who would invite Dominic over as well so she could spend time with her brother after months of not seeing him. 

This family encouraged her to look into jobs that didn’t require a college degree, so she knew there were options out there. Post-high school, she ended up enrolling to become an EMT, mostly because she read the basic qualifications and figured she fit. In the years since, she’s been reunited with Brooke and has lent a hand for Reaper related business here and there. She’s calm under pressure and knows he’s been involved for years so it doesn’t bother her but she can appreciate that he tries not to get her involved unless necessary. Devon likes that she can help people, especially people in their community.

*＊✿❀ INTRO POST ❀✿＊*

Heyy guys (all three of y'all that follow me haha)!! I've been here half a year and I've never done an intro, so here I am:

My name is Ema, feel free to call me that or Em/Emi.

I use any pronouns, but please do use only one per conversation :).

I'm a minor! :p

I'm bi, with a preference for blonde people hehe :))

I'm from Slovenia, so my mother tongue is Slovenian but I also speak English (obvi) and I'm learning German, Dutch and Finnish.

I'm really into sports, especially alpine skiing, f1 and volleyball, but I'm getting into tennis as well.

In f1 my faves are Carlos Sainz, Max Verstappen, Charles Leclerc and Yuki Tsunoda! But I also LOVE the old grid especially those cunty 2010's (brocedes, simi, webuttonso)! My fav ships are Lestappen, Maxiel, those previously mentioned old ones and Carlando.

In skiing my faves are Atle and Lucas, and my fav ship is obviously Atlas then. But I also really love all the other Norwegians (yes, including Henrik, I have stopped hating him) +Loïc and Odi.

In volleyball I don't really have a favorite, I'm just rooting for my home country and I love a player that's never on the field (or gets in for a point, does nothing and leaves) (Nik Mijanović core).

In tennis my pookie is Holger but as I've said I'm not that into it yet :(.

Other things I love are Eurovision, Good omens (fuck Neil Gaiman), the marauders fandom (rosekiller are my faves), The umbrella academy, and lots of other tv shows.

I do art, you can scroll through my profile and see some! I would draw basically anything about my obsessions so if you really want something drawn, let me know, I'd do it for free.

I also write but I don't really post that on here, but you can go check it out on my ao3 account with the same user as here. (Again I'd like to say, that I'm up to write mostly anything about my obsessions so feel free to request something).

I love role playing, so, again, hit me up if you want to rp!!

[mxnd-infxction]

if this account or xxszombie606 [my alt] ever gets T’d i think i’ll just stick to using buckcherry or slamhound song titles and lyrics

(most of y’all probably see me as the buckcherry mutual anyways itll be v recognizable)

BASICS

Name: Katherine “Kat” Anderson

Age & Birthday: 37, May 2, 1986

Gender/Pronouns: cis woman, she & her

Birthplace: Atlanta, Georgia

Time in Atlanta: 37 Years

Neighborhood: Center Hill

Association: Reapers

Occupation: Member & Owner of Center Hill Cuts

Positive personality traits:  devoted, realistic, reliable, resourceful, scrappy 

Negative personality traits: caustic, stubborn, uncompromising, vindictive 

Faceclaim: Emmy Rossum

ABOUT

tw: domestic abuse, verbal abuse

Kat’s mom never wanted to be a mom and she spent most of Kat's life reminding her of it. Abby Anderson had wanted to get the hell out of dodge but every time she tried to leave, Pete would find a way to drag her back. Still, she was unhappy and made sure Kat knew just how much. After all, she hadn't wanted to get stuck with an abusive piece of shit, have him show face around town, only to come home and let loose his anger. Kat remembers the first time her mom tried to leave and how her dad slashed her tires. She'd only been eight at the time but she didn't blame her. She'd have gotten out too if she could.

Instead, she found ways to be out of the house, running around Center Hill with her three cousins Dusty, Danny and DJ, who needed out of a broken home too. Mischief was never far when she was with them, chaos outside the home providing a welcome distraction from the chaos within. She’d waste hours with them and their friends, avoiding going home when she could until she was sure Pete would be passed out on the couch or her mother was holed up in the main bedroom. Kat would sneak into her room and hope he was gone in the morning and that her mom had forgotten she existed.

Her dad had had a shitty life and he, like his brother, decided to take it out on the people closest to him. Her mother had always wanted a different life, free of the things that kept her tied to Center Hill. Kat got used to shattered glass and angry back hands from her father and blunt comments about how she'd ruined her mother's life (and figure) by being born. She got used to both, but she got angry. She used to curl up with a pack of six-month old frozen peas pressed to her cheek and dream of the ways her dad could die and her mother disappear.

As she got older, Kat finally found her voice. Like a wild thing, she’d scream and throw things back at her dad, their house alight with noise and brimming with anger. She's spit venom at her mom. She resented her but she hated him. She hated Bobby. She hated the fact that their shitty lives became her and her cousins’ shitty lives. 

Eventually her dad didn't come home one day, skipping town because he owed money to the Reapers. Her mother was besides herself, blaming Kat and her recently revealed teen pregnancy by way of one Hunter Cross. She kicked Kat out before eventually skipping town herself. Kat was faced with a tough choice, knowing that one option would forever change her life. It would've been easier to terminate but Kat wanted to prove she was different than her mother and father. She'd raise her kid to be better than she was, and she'd love them harder than she'd ever been loved herself.

It didn't matter that Asher was born early, or that there were complications, Kat knew she'd do anything for him. And so she did. The rest of her life was devoted to giving him a better one than she had. For two years she had her grandmother around, helping out with him while Kat worked hard to pay medical bills, taking any job she could before settling in at Center Hill Cuts.

But nothing is ever easy and the Reapers came calling for payment on behalf of her father, having given a grace period. Eventually she worked out a deal and when the owner of Center Hill Cuts retired and left it to her, she was able to pay off her dad's debts faster.

Over the next few years, Kat kept the shop up and running in Center Hill, paying up to the Reapers and, eventually, deciding to join in. She needed support and the community they provided meant more to her during her early years raising Asher than she could admit.

Since then, the shop has become a Center Hill staple, painstakingly revitalized to be a place where people could hang, doors open and music playing into the late hours of the night. In the past few years, it’s also become a secondary cache for some Repears goods (drugs and weapons) as a front and back up in case of any raids on the clubhouse. What had started out as a shitty debt to pay has paid for itself in what she’s gained through the Reapers: a community of people who looked out for each other. And while she doesn't want Asher involved directly, she's comforted by the fact that she knows that they'll look out for him as one of their own as well.

EXTRA

Kat doesn’t have a fancy degree, but she knows how to hustle and has an abundance of  common sense, both of which have led to a successful business she’s proud to call her own. 

She hadn’t spent as much time watching her dad work but thankfully, he had one employee, an older man named Bernard, who showed her the ropes when she inherited the shop.   

There’s a cat that comes by the barber shop and sits on the stoop every day. She’s named him Stoop Cat officially but most people call him Stoop. 

When her dad left, she tossed all of his shit and claimed the trailer for herself. It became a space where her cousins could crash too since her uncle was like a dark cloud that wouldn’t let up. 

She’s remained close to her cousins and thinks of them more like weird pseudo-brothers. Hiding her spare key from Dusty, she still relents when he needs a place to crash, but only after hosing him down (if she can get to him before he sneaks in…). When Danny was in prison, she’d visit, bringing comics (even though they’re stupid) and was there to pick him up when he got out. With DJ, she gives advice when he asks (and sometimes when he doesn’t) and has been known to stop into Little Goat to lend a hand if she can. She’s also been known to chase Dusty down when he’s snagged some cash, or make fun of Danny’s mispronunciations for a week, or jokingly give DJ a bottle of Xanax with a giant bow for his birthday.

[bamboozledghoul]

I think Mitski said it’s okay to kill yourself

I went to her concert last night at the Fox in ATL, and in her intro she addressed the audience in the terraces, “not too high is it? Do you hear the call of the void? Don’t answer! Or at least don’t do it during my show, you can do that on your own time”

Lyrics through the decade 2/10

I've decided to collect all the songs I've made through the last decade and share my favourite snippets with you guys. The pictures for the backgrounds will (as much as possible) be pictures I've taken the same year as the lyrics were written. The full lyrics may or may not be made official someday.

Part 2; 2014

In March 2014 I made my first song and so with the new found interest in songwriting I started experimenting a lot with different themes and moods of songwriting that I've tried to show here.

More info under the line

Stay creative, my fellow foxes 🦊💚

Song 1 (pic 1); Ray of Sunshine

First song I ever wrote with a very simple form of three verses in a row. I had tried to learn an ATL song on guitar yet in my failed attempt to learn the rhytmn I made a melody instead (very hard to sing but fun for what it is)

Featured lyric: Clouds outside are starting to gather

[and] my mind in as terrible weather.

Song 2 (pic 2); Female Dress Code

The second song I ever wrote and the first with a chorus - way more singable than RoS. I call it my 'Not Like Other Girls' song since I through the song describe this one girl I say is the opposite of me and how I don't understand women fashion.

Featured lyric: the best thing you can wear is a smile,

but has been hidden away for a while.

Song 3 (pic3); Instant Camera

A song about longing for a relationship (not autobiografical if I remember correctly). This song is special to me not in its themes but that I played it for the talent show at my high school and won first prize. I spend the money to buy a new guitar.

Featured lyric: As May turned to December,

We took photographs with your old instant camera

((Extended)) are you gonna burn them like orange autumn leaves?

Song 4 (pic4); Aubade

First song written on piano (and I made it a spanish intro because I could). As song about supporting a friend in need. Has some really cute lines in retrospect.

Featured lyric: Mirrorside lies! It reflects what eye sees not heart be.

Your flaws make you unique, and you're beautiful to me.

Song 5 (pic5); Train

An angst song. Written together with a friend that accidentally also came out as trans years later. It is a very angry song full of self dread and hate. Very teenager.

Featured lyric: I'll go down in history as another nobody

starring out in nowhere wasting time.

Song 6 (pic6); Corner

First song that I remember where I didn't make up a character to tell the story from but instead used my own experiences. Although some parts of it is half inspired by Perks of Being a Wallflower.

Feautured lyric: Observer. I'm lost in a world were I don't exist

((Extended)) no wonder why my voice's dismissed.

Song 7 (pic7); Stranger 7-10-8-1

Probably one of my strangest titles (pun intended) this song is about seeing the beauty in people around you and that we cannot know everybody's story. Also it is a cute little love song to all the strangers you might meet on your way.

Featured lyric: I have to say, you look good today.

We haven't met, but anyways

everybody's beautiful in their own way.

Song 8 (pic8); Not All Heroes Wear Capes Mine Plays Guitar

Can you tell that I liked Fall Out Boy and Panic! At the Disco from the sheer length of this title x'D? This was a song made and dedicated to one of my then favourite musician, Jack Barakat from All Time Low which is funny when I read it now since a few bits of the lyrics can be used to describe one of my favourite musicians today (Jere Pöyhönen aka Käärijä)

Featured lyric: He's a ticking time bomb filled with bad jokes and contagious joy

Honorable mention:

Flower bud, he trives on the stage tonight.

REGULATORS: THE 25 DOPEST G-FUNK SONGS

By Stereo Williams

Published Mon, February 7, 2022 at 12:00 AM EST

West Coast Hip-Hop was already becoming a force. 

In the late 1980s, artists like Ice-T, Too $hort, King Tee and N.W.A. were putting California on the Hip-Hop map and by the dawn of the 1990s, New York City's grip on the rap industry was no longer a given. Producers like Above The Law's Cold 187Um (aka Big Hutch), DJ Quik and most famously, Dr. Dre, began melding their love of the bass-heavy grooves of Parliament/Funkadelic and other bands like Zapp and the Ohio Players, into Hip-Hop beats. The sound that emerged came to be known as G-Funk, and after 1992, it took over the West Coast.

And, in turn, the West Coast would take over Hip-Hop, commercially. After Dr. Dre took G-funk to the mainstream with the success of his solo debut The Chronic, the sound was virtually everywhere. With the Super Bowl Halftime Show putting everyone in a West Coast spirit, we decided to rank the 25 Dopest G-Funk songs. 

#26

"YOUR LOVE IS A 1.8.7." - THE WHITEHEAD BROS [BONUS SONG]

G-Funk was so big in 1993/1994, that it started to influence R&B. One of the most obvious examples was this single from The Whitehead Bros. With its squealing synths and references to murder and automatic weapons, it's a gangstafied love song. 

#25

"SUMMERTIME IN THE LBC" - THE DOVE SHACK

One of the most criminally overshadowed groups of the era, The Dove Shack came out swinging with this breezy ode to Long Beach in the summer. 

#24

"GETTIN' IT" - TOO $HORT W/PARLIAMENT-FUNKADELIC

"We gon' do it like this...on the last album," $hort Dog mournfully announced on this Parliament-assisted banger. Of course, we all know Too $hort was far from finished, but he delivered one of the most prominent latter entries in the G-Funk canon. 

#23

"AIN'T NO FUN" SNOOP DOGGY DOGG FEAT. WARREN G, NATE DOGG AND KURUPT

Yes, it's one of the most problematic songs of all time. But what a banger! Daz ghost-produced this G-funk staple.

#22

"DEEZ NUUUTZ" - DR. DRE FEAT. DAT NIGGAZ DAZ, NATE DOGG

Another classic from "The Chronic," and a song that spawned 30 years of eighth grader jokes, the Nate Dogg outro is just perfection. 

#21

"ALWAYZ INTO SOMETHIN'" - N.W.A.

Probably the clearest indicator on N.W.A.'s notorious sophomore album "Niggaz4Life" of where Dr. Dre was about to take things with "The Chronic" a year later. 

#20

"REAL MUTHAPHUCKKIN G'S" - EAZY-E FEAT. B.G. KNOCC OUT AND DRESTA

Eazy-E's diss aimed squarely at Dr. Dre and Death Row, this track was one of the best examples of Ruthless Records' brand of G-Funk, a sound the label rarely gets acknowledgment for. 

#19

"INDO SMOKE" - MISTA GRIMM

A weed theme song for stoners circa 1993, this banger from the "Poetic Justice" soundtrack gave an indication of where Warren G was going to go production-wise. It also memorably provided an intro snippet on Snoop's "Doggy Style" a few months later.

#18

"DUSTED 'N' DISGUSTED" - E-40 FEAT. MAC MALL, SPICE 1, ANT BANKS, 2PAC

E-40 pulls together a who's-who of Bay Area legends for one of the most beloved singles in his catalog. 

#17

"BLACK SUPERMAN" - ABOVE THE LAW

ATL's G-Funk legacy has always been overshadowed by the behemoth that is Death Row, but know that Cold 187um got there first and Ruthless sustained the sound alongside more high-profile camps. 

#16

"LET'S PLAY HOUSE" - THA DOGG POUND FEAT. MICHEL'LE AND NATE DOGG

A song that would become a West Coast backyard boogie staple for years to come, it's Daz in top form, production-wise. But everyone brings their A game here. 

#15

"DOLLAZ & SENSE" - DJ QUIK

Quik takes no prisoners on this infamous MC Eiht diss. Their feud would be one of West Coast Hip-Hop's most notorious, and this track is a classic entry. 

#14

"AFRO PUFFS" - LADY OF RAGE FEAT. SNOOP DOGGY DOGG

The First Lady of Death Row came with it on this hit single from "Above The Rim," an ode to natural hair, gangsta shit and keepin' it funky. 

#13

"DOGGY DOGG WORLD" - SNOOP DOGGY DOGG FEAT. THA DOGG POUND, THE DRAMATICS AND WARREN G

The pimptastic video is one of the most memorable of the 90s; and the groove is pure 70s funk, highlighting how deeply indebted to that era G-funk had been. 

#12

"YOU KNOW HOW WE DO IT" - ICE CUBE

Cube's first album was Bomb Squad bombast and his second outing was looser, but still hard. After enjoying mainstream success with singles like "It Was A Good Day" and "Check Yo' Self," Cube dropped his most obviously G-Funk-leaning single in this West Coast classic. 

#11

"LET ME RIDE" - DR. DRE FEAT. SNOOP DOGGY DOGG AND JEWELL

Dre's love of P-Funk was never more evident than on this Sunday driving anthem. The flip of "Mothership Connection (Star Child)" is perfect and it gave "The Chronic" another hit single. 

#10

"THIS D.J."

Sure, the Nate Dogg-assisted "Regulate" is way more famous. But this follow-up single best sums up the sunny vibe of Warren G's particular brand of G-Funk. He kept it street, but also gave a more laid-back alternative to what was coming out of Death Row at the time. And this is a great summer song.

#9

"CALIFORNIA LOVE" [REMIX] - 2PAC W/DR. DRE FEAT. ROGER TROUTMAN

The original may be more famous, but it's the remix that's pure G-Funk. From that wobbly bassline to those squealy synths and the presence of an electro-funk legend in Roger Troutman himself.

"WHO AM I? (WHAT'S MY NAME)" - SNOOP DOGGY DOGG

It's so P-Funk-like, it's like you can hear George Clinton sitting in the room. Nobody would ever have trouble remembering his name again. Shoutout to "Atomic Dog."

"CALL IT WHAT YOU WANT" - ABOVE THE LAW FEAT. 2PAC AND MONEY B

Big Hutch (Cold 187Um) is one of the most underrated producers of all time. It's so funky and Pac and Money B bring some of that freewheeling D.U. energy to the proceedings.

"BIG PIMPIN'" - THA DOGG POUND FEAT. SNOOP DOGGY DOGG

Daz's spin on G-Funk is so distinct. He goes deep into those bass grooves and this is one of his rubbery best. From the classic "Above The Rim" soundtrack, it helped announce that Tha Dogg Pound was up next. 

#5

"DRE DAY" - DR. DRE W/SNOOP DOGGY DOGG

From that opening thump; you can feel Parliament's influence. This hit from "The Chronic" was the culmination of his sound up that point--and yes, a scorching diss of Dre's former bandmate Eazy-E (and Luke and Tim Dog). 

#4

"REGULATE" - WARREN G FEAT. NATE DOGG

Where the G-Child proved to any late comers that he was more than just Dre's brother. The Long Beach product crafted his own uniquely melodic brand of G-Funk, and this classic epitomized it. 

#3

"TONITE" - DJ QUIK

Another example of G-Funk before Death Row and "The Chronic," DJ Quik's breakout hit wasn't necessarily called "G-Funk" at the time, but when you listen to it now, it's clear that he's pointing towards where so much mainstream West Coast Hip-Hop was headed. 

#2

"GIN AND JUICE" - SNOOP DOGGY DOGG

Another ode to getting drunk as hell, Snoop's second single cemented him as the most unique new voice in the game back in 1994. All these years later, it's a staple of the sound and era, a true G-Funk classic. 

#1

"NUTHIN' BUT A 'G' THANG" DR. DRE FEAT. SNOOP DOGGY DOGG

"Deep Cover" obviously came first, but this was Death Row's first smash and the song that pushed G Funk into the mainstream. Snoop and Dre's chemistry was on fire, and the groove launched a thousand imitators.
