It took 3 weeks and 36+ hours, but it's finished 😭 Astarion Ancunin & Neil Newbon © Jeri Rose | Ko-Fi | Commissions - OPEN

[Imagine Description] A black and white (with an red tint) digital realism portrait painting of two men. On the right hand-side, Neil Newbon, an actor with short brown hair slicked back, dark eyes and a slim nose. He is facing off screen at a 45 degree angle, with his chin slightly raised, the viewer is looking up at him. Neil is wearing a black open cardigan with a simple white, unbuttoned shirt underneath, with a single slim chain that hangs at his chest. Neil's right ear is pierced and a small dagger earring pierces it. His face and neck have red scratches and grazes on them; the left side of his forehead, his right eyebrow and cheek, the bridge of his nose, two small grazes on each side of his lips, upper right and lower left, along with a graze on the left side of his next and right side of his upper chest near his collarbone and his white shirt and small splatters of red on it. On the left hand-side of the image, Astarion Ancunin, a Baldur's Gate 3 character, that is voiced and acted / mo-capped by Neil Newbon. Astarion faces left at a 45 degree angle and is in a similar pose as Neil, his chin is raised and you, the viewer are looking up at him. Astarion has white and wavy hair, with curls that goes to the mid of his neck. He wears Elven Chainmail armour with intricate leaf details up the chest, the center, a larger leaf like metal plate; it's leather collar pointed upwards. What little parts of the shoulder braces can be seen are metal folds, almost curled at their tips with pointed edges, as delicate as the central plate on the upper chest. Astarion's face is aged, his eyes dark, but lighter than Neil's, his nose a little scrunched up at the bridge, his lips down turned slightly, as if he is unamused. Astarion's pointed elf year, shown on the right wears three piercings, an upper cartilage piercing, where a ring sits, an upper lobe with a small round stud and under that, a replica dagger to match Neil's. Both Astarion's armour and face are covered with pre-battle blood splatter, adding much more red to his face than Neils. Behind them a two tonal red background, the center panel a dark, deep red, with a lighter red underneath (this lighter red is not present in the two solo images that follow underneath). In the center of the image, nested behind and between Astarion and Neil is the ritual carving that Astarion has carved into his back, a gift, from his old Master. This symbol is in a bright, piercing red, unlike the darker reds that dance around the image. Blood splatters scatter the backgrounds, contrasting light and dark on either tones. The second and third image in this set are of Astarion and Neil's sperate portraits and the fourth image in this set is the same as the first image, minus the blood on Neil and Astarion.

Chapter Ten – December 24th, 1940

Chapter warnings: domestic pals ~ Fluff ~ BASEBALL ~ plot is finally moving forward

Word count: 1519 words

“James!!” Addie ducked as she felt the cold smack of a snowball fly into her face, the snow falling into her collar, making her squeal. “James Buchanan Barnes, I am going to murder you!”

“Shout it to the world!!” Bucky laughed, ducking behind the frozen fountain in Central Park. It seemed as if everyone and their brother was outside playing in the snow. It was the first time in years that Christmas Eve was a sunny and clear day, granted the lack of the clouds made it stupid cold, but Addie didn’t care. Besides, she was running hot due to the serum and the vengeful wrath that bubbled in her as she balled the snow into a tightly packed weapon.

“Hey-“ Bucky made a face, his face breaking into a playful smile as Addie taunted him, dancing back and forth and she tried to outmaneuver him behind the fountain.

“You mess with the bull, you’re going get the horns, Buck.” She teased darkly, her arm winding back.

“But you’re a nice bull!” He tried to flatter, a laugh in his words as he seemed to snicker at his own joke.

“Oh, it is ON, Barnes!”

Bucky grinned and ducked before making a run for it, but Addie was too quick, her snowball pelting him smack on the back of the head, the snow exploding through his hair as he fell to the ground. If it was an official sport, it would have been the slow-mo of the century.

Addie shouted victoriously, raising her hands in the air as another group of teenagers cheered a few yards away.

“HaHA!” She laughed, jogging over to Bucky who was shaking his head and propped up on his elbow.  “Looks like the king of Brooklyn just got his crown popped off.”

“What an arm, doll!” Bucky stood up, still grinning. “Lemme see that again.”

“You want me to smack you upside the head with another snowball??”

“No, no, I mean I wanna see how far you can throw.”

“Oh!” Addie bent over and made another ball, eyeing down the row of trees for a good distance. “Well, how far do you think I can throw?”

“Hooo,” Bucky rubbed the back of his head. “Uh, I can throw around 70 feet so I’ll give you 60.”

“Sixty.” Addie nodded, packing the ball again. Eyeing the distance, she guessed it to be around ninety feet. “Run on down there so I don’t kill anyone, will you?”

“Sure.” He gave her a nudge on her arm and started jogging through the snow toward the target area.

He let out a shrill whistle when he was ready, waving his arm through the sparse crowd.

Addie tossed the ball between her hands twice and reeled back her arm before throwing the snowball over the heads of the crowd.

By now they had gathered a crowd, and with the snowball sailing through the air and OVER Bucky’s head by a solid length and exploding into a tree, knocking the snow off the bark.

“Holy cow!” Bucky turned back and looked to Addie who was staring, awestruck at her actions. “Brooklyn Dodgers here we come!”

“Man, that’s a canon you got there!” One of the boys from the group said as they gathered around her. “How’d you do that??”

“I-“ She certainly couldn’t reveal her secret, per se. HYDRA was a terrible organization and she wasn’t about to advocate for it. “I guess I’m just really good!”

“Whooee!” Bucky came up to her, elbowing his way through the others and offering a high-five. “I swear, if Durocher doesn’t sign you up, the man’s a first-class idiot.”

“You know I can’t play for the Dodgers!” Addie objected, shoving her hands into her coat pockets. “I’m a girl!”

“So? You could play left field!” Another offered,

“I outa teach you to bat.” Bucky nodded, gaining a few comments from the others. Addie knew she was blushing, surrounded by nothing but guys was strange, especially when one of them was none other than Bucky Barnes.

“Nah, I’d rather be chucking grenades at German’s than playing left field.” She shook her head, her mane of hair fluffing.

“That’s my girl.” Bucky winked.

“Wait- you’re dating Bucky??” One of the boys pointed to the future Winter Soldier.

“No, we’re just really close friends. I’m Steve’s girl.” She smiled sweetly.

“What?” The other scoffed. “Steve? Puleeze, that beanstalk? A gal like you can do better than Rogers.”

Addie didn’t let him finish, as the back of her hand raked across the boy’s cheek, a red mark left behind.

Bucky grabbed her arms before she could do anymore damage, but she knew he was fuming as well.

“Got anymore smart remarks?” She demanded, relenting to Bucky’s grasp.

“N-no..” The boy shook his head, the others retreating.

“I wouldn’t antagonize her.” Bucky rumbled, the sparkle in his eyes gone.

“Guys, let-lets go check on the others.” The youngest one said, tugging on the one who spoke’s arm.

“Yeah, yeah.” They retreated entirely, leaving Bucky and Addie alone.

“Dirty idiots.” She spat as Bucky let her go. “I almost wish you hadn’t stopped me.”

“Trust me, doll, I’ve had one too many trips to the jail to know better.” He said, folding his arms across his chest. “We should go home.”

“Agreed.” She sighed, kicking at the lump of snow built up next to her.

As they passed by the window’s of the shop as the sun reached just below the tops of the skyscapers, Addie smiled when she saw the displays. She’d only seen black-and-white pictures of them but now she was really living in the times, she could truly understand what she was missing in a way.

“Aw, they’re so cute!” She pointed to the teddy bears propped into a parade, all dressed up like soldiers. “That one looks like you.”

“What?” Bucky shook his head, peering closer at the one she pointed out. “Please, Adds, this little fella is too handsome. I don’t even compare.”

“My gosh, Bucky. I never took you for modest.” She teased, knowing full well she was about to get a smart remark.

He straightened up and looked at her with that ‘sling back, locked and loaded smart remark incoming’ look. “Oh then you don’t know the true me. I spend hours each morning pruning each and every hair on my head making sure it is perfectly to my liking.” He even topped it off with the nail brush and inspection. “How’s that for modest?”

“I know when I’m beaten.” She raised her hands as they started walking again. “Though I think you missed a spot.”

“Its not my fault that you pelted my poor head with a snowball.”

“Oh, wait, yes it is. I seem to remember snow falling down my collar and freezing me?”

“Oh dear, was that me?”

Addie snorted a laugh when they reached the apartment building.

“Excuse me,” An older man stepped forward before they started up the stairs. “May I ask if you are the young lady that threw that snowball this afternoon at Central Park?”

Addie looked him up and down, feeling Bucky’s hand wrap around her wrist. “Is it important?”

“In a way, yes.”

“Then I suppose so. What’s it to you, can I ask?”

“I am Major Kellings, miss. Infantry branch. I’ve been asked that I contact you and your friend here about a matter that could change the U.S.’s current relationship with the Axis powers.”

“Oh, snap, are they going to use me for Captain America??”She forced herself to keep cool and looked to Bucky who was quite confused.

“Well, that depends. Am I allowed to have more details or is this need-to-know only?”

“Some of is, some of it I can tell you.”

“It can’t wait till tomorrow?” Bucky stepped in.

“I have my orders to make contact as soon as possible.” Kellings informed.

“Its okay, Bucky. I think I might know whats going on.” She turned to the Major. “I’ll come but I want to be able to turn down whatever your people offer me.”

“Of course, miss.” Kellings nodded, clasping his hands behind his back. “Commander Ridenger is more than willing to make a deal.”

“Will you tell Steve?” Addie looked up to Bucky who was frowning at her.

“Are you nuts? I’m going with you!”

“I don’t know how long this will take, Buck. He might freak out if we’re gone too long.”

Bucky frowned again and sighed. “Alright, but you be careful, please.”

“I will,” She smiled. “Alright, Major.”

“I have a car around the corner, miss. It’s a short drive over to headquarters.”

“Okay.” She nodded and followed him to where a long car was waiting, already running. She had yet to have the privilege of riding in these cars, thus she felt a surge of excitement as the major opened the door for her.

She thanked him and slid over the seat, its cover was made of cloth and was warm compared to outside. She wondered how well it handled on the snowy roads.

The driver shifted it into drive before everything froze and vanished.

Escapade Dance Party 2023 Writeup 3/3

Second Half

Jaskier has no more fucks to give by Gondolin AMV

Obviously, having just shown the other Witcher, I had to open with the more familiar one.

Vids under 2 minutes also aren't actually danceable no matter the tempo, so this makes a good upbeat intro to a section.

Grandmaster of Troublemaking (The Untamed) by NKZephyr Edits

I love the enthusiasm and goofiness of this vid.

Goncharov (1973) | Read the description! by Etoile

Come on, we had to have Goncharov!

TBH, there were other vids, but basically none of them were danceable.

【HIStory3-圈套】On a daily by Nerjaveika

Trapped's moment seems to have passed, but the combination of great use of text and this fun song made this one a perfect fit.

Ego | AMV | Mo dao zu shi & Heaven Official's Blessing (CC Lyrics) by Nitisha Donghua Productions

I was more looking for Heaven Official's Blessing alone, but most of the options I was finding weren't really danceable. I love this song and was looking for a vid to it anyway.

trouble in my head | lan jue & zhang ping | a league of nobleman by Victoria

I have no clue what this is. I probably found it in the sidebar while searching something else, but it's such a pretty vid.

История Бай Ци (AU, Bai Qi/Shen Zui) by Kemriko

What is this? Who knows. I liked it, and it was m/m, so people got to watch it.

BTS Jhope • Gasolina• |FMV|• by kookie taex

In a concession to how many people the previous song would inevitably chase from the dance floor, I wanted to follow it with something much more booty-shaking. I fucking love Gasolina and am always looking for more vids to it. Tragically, a lot of English-speaking vidding fandom has No Taste and does not vid this kind of music.

Yes, this is a vertical vid of J-Hope dancing to Daddy Yankee. No regrets!

Мания Хирото by Fausthaus

Ah, my favorite source of vids: Russian fandom combats. Are they on AO3? Yes. Have English speakers gone anywhere near their vast stores of battshit content? No, absolutely not.

No one at the con, including me, knows anything about this fandom. Too bad. The music is great, and I wanted to dance to it.

Отступники by fandom Vampires of Central Russia 2021

This is another fandom I spotted in the fandom combats. The vid is shorter than I'd normally show, but I wanted to showcase this interesting vampire fandom that I didn't think most people at Escapade had heard of yet.

Sex and Violence by bironic

Another one breaking my rules. Nandermo was a must-have for a vampire-themed year, but mockumentaries are shot like ass on purpose, and that makes them hard to vid, so my options were limited. Bironic's always a sure thing, if not exactly obscure to an Escapade audience.

Sadly, the embed seems to be dead at the moment.

Sex Drive by Franzeska

Yes, I will always play my own vids when I need to fill a hole in a playlist.

Night Watch was such a passion of mine for a while and the source of my ill-fated attempt to learn Russian. I always meant to go back and add text to this vid to echo the weird subtitles they did for the movie, but I never got around to it. Oh well.

【盾冬衍生】no body no crime 黑暗爽文利刃出鞘兰森/我们一直住在城堡里表哥 by 蜜桃奶霉包

Batshit AUs are my favorite. When I found this, I knew I had to inflict it on everyone.

The Hunger - Say Yes To Heaven by themaybatatter

I had a long list of vampire fandoms, most of which I never did find a vid for, but The Hunger was at the absolute top of my list. After scouring the internet, this was the only arguably danceable vid I could come up with and one of the few in general. What the hell, internet? What the hell?!

“你不了解你的妻子，我吻过她” by 没饭呲了

This would be a lot more danceable if it weren't quite so plastered with show audio… but too bad. As usual, sufficiently horny femslash gets an automatic pass. Everyone swayed vaguely on the edges of the dance floor staring, so I still consider it a success.

【巍澜】这可是极限拉扯的鼻祖！！！ by 甜飞惹

Guardian is another fandom where I'm spoiled for choice, but the Chinese vidders do like to include an awful lot of dialogue. This vid stood out for great dance party music and no audio clips.

Morpheus & Hob | The Night We Met by WolfPhoenixWriter

A lot of people were into Sandman this year. I liked this vid for making me feel a lot of feelings despite never having seen the show and barely remembering the comic.

It's a bit slow dance for Escapade, but I loved the emotion in the song too much to not include it.

Boyfriend | FMV | Yan Wei X Xu YouYi by Nitisha Donghua Productions

I guess this was my horny femslash year.

Lee Soo Hyuk - Gwi (Scholar Who Walks the Night) Savage by Serendipity

What's this? Dunno, but it's got a vampire and this great song.

The Monster by frayadjacent

This one was pure self-indulgence on my part. It was made for a con by a vidder everybody knows, but the vidder felt it required too many content warnings and didn't send it in the end. I, however, reserve the end of the dance party to show more content warnings-heavy things if I feel like it. I despise how fandom has turned into a "compromise" where anything that reaches into my soul is never on the table while pabulum always is. Fuck that. I am the arbiter of what's normal.

This vid lit me up in places I'd forgotten.

Ahs Hotel :| Tear you Apart by xxxxxx

This song was used in the show and there are a billion vids to it, but this one is far better than the others aside from how it just cuts off.

AHS isn't a fandom most at the con are in, but I just had to include its vampire season.

A Shot for the Pain by Franzeska

I honestly did go looking for other Penny Dreadful vids. Sadly, the selection was not impressive, and most of it was not to anything danceable, let alone goth club-appropriate music.

【拔杯|暗黑慎入】你是我奇怪的瘾症 by 两只阿夏跑不快

I've seen a lot of Hannibal vids. Almost all of them are gross. Few are as interestingly edited as this one.

Twilight Zone by hmmyeahokay

Okay, this one is a massive blast from the past. Do people outside of Highlander fandom even remember this bad 2001 movie?

I loved the song, and I appreciated that there was a black lead. That and vampires trump the fact that it's a het vid (ish).

Supernatural ►Cry Little Sister by Gwen

I scoured Youtube for vids to this song. I thought this was a particularly interesting take out of the extensive genre of horror set to Cry Little Sister. (No, seriously, it's a genre.)

【荣耀向我俯首｜kinnporsche】没长出恋爱脑前的少爷们怎么能错过这首BGM by 旧城与笙Zz

Kinnporsche hit big this year. I wanted a really fantastic vid that people hadn't seen. I love that this one is by a Chinese vidder (probably) to a French song.

Sadly no longer online, probably for being of a horny BL series and posted on a Chinese site

Kingdom come by fandom ATEEZ 2022

Okay, ATEEZ isn't a big fandom at the con, but this vid is some sort of kink AU, and I'm always weak for that. It's also to a Taylor song everybody loves.

Last of the Real Ones by colls

I cheated again and included a well-known vidder, but do you know how hard it is to find stormpilot vids? Kylux has like eight billion genius animatics and fan art vids. Finnpoe? Bupkis!

I don't know if people still care about this part of Star Wars, but all of the Bandom trash immediately rushed the dance floor when the song started playing.

louis & lestat | take my breath away (interview with the vampire) by ScribbledDreaming

I have ended with this song before, with finnpoe in fact, so that's a little in-joke for myself.

What better way to end the vampire party than the new IWTV and the most over-the-top vid I could find?

[shy2004]

I'm still posting stuff here, so I'll be making more art.

Now I wanna tell ya something interesting. I used to grow up with this cute crossover headcanon about glitch from the game dance central and vanellope from Disney's wreck it ralph, being like siblings and then later hiro from big hero 6. Since those are characters I liked growing up.

First, I wanted to share my reasons for the first two characters. Vanellope is a video game character who is known for being a "glitch," and the same goes for glitch from dance central 2 (Not physical glitch tho) and are friends with people who are older than them mo and ralph of course. Both definitely rock the green / teal colors along with their personalities. If you know these characters, you'll probably know what I mean. I feel like they definitely would be the type to pull pranks and dance together. This was one of my favorite crossover ideas. Growing up, I would only find two fanarts with them, so I might be the first to make this more known.

Second is hiro and vanellope. Obviously, these are characters from the same animation company, Disney, and they do look alike. And him being associated with gummy bears and lollipops while vanellope is candy themed. I have this cool idea if hiro was to make a suit for vanellope. It would be like tracer from overwatch, hehe ^_^

These are characters from very know popular media, so of course, this crossover was bigger than the other. There are more fanart and edit/post of these two everywhere. (Now, of course, there were shipping stuff people made for them... soooo no, I'm not a fan of it... especially the age difference.😬

Both the games and movie they are from are... totally different media... I think think it's kinda hard to explain. Both characters are supposed to be 14 and have something to do with taking place in the future... I guess.

They would be chill with each other, lowkey. I can see glitch trying to bond with hiro being like a brother. Given the fact that hiro had a brother so it could work. I think hiro would be fascinated by the boom box called Boomy. Like he'll ask how it works and glitch would tell him about DCI headquarters and sh*t. And same for glitch being interested in the technology he has.

Tadashi used to wear the hat before he died, and now hiro wears it. I can kinda imagine him sometimes letting glitch borrow it.

1. For those who have seen Big Hero 6. Hiro had an older brother Tadashi (who in the movie died in a fire). The reason I brought this up is because I kinda see him taking on the big brother role in this sibling trio. He is a prodigy technologist. He is the one with the brains.

Anyway, if interested feel free to share your thoughts. 🖤

-Blog Introductions!-

🍃Introduction🍃

Hello! My name is Ivana I'm a Croat currently living in Canada. I'm 16 years old, I'm a writer trying to kickstart my career on my main blog that's currently inactive @lesiocara, I've been a folklore dancer for 2 years now and I dance with my group across the USA and Canada.

🍃Purpose of Blog🍃

I started this blog because I noticed a lot of cognitive disconnect between immigrant Croats and main land culture. I felt like there wasn't enough resources for younger immigrants to truly understand or experience their cultures in a authentic way. And I noticed much deference between myself and my peers who always have lived in Canada. As they didn't have much ties to their own cultures. This is slowly becoming a growing concern to me back home too as many other southern/central Slavic countries embrace western ideals more and more many of us are starting to lose our ties to our cultural heritage as Slavs. This is why I started this blog to help immigrants and even mainlanders who wish to connect more to folklore and heritage of their countries find resources and paths to reconnect to their heritage. This blog primary shows off Balkan Slavic tradition but I strive to showcase all Slavic countries and cultures on this blog.

🍃Rules of the Blog/DNI🍃

Rules

No homophobia, xenophobia, religionism (antisemitism, islamophobia),racism, transphobia ect ect.

Both Romani and Inuit/Yupik cultures consider the two words up above as slurs against them and are not allowed to be used outside of historical context on this blog. This rule applies to the two terms of Ustaše and Chetniks as the two are often used as slurs towards Croats and Serbs.

This blog is a safe space for all slavs and is here to uplift all cultures, we will be discussing both past and current wars but I encourage you to use your critical thinking skills and realize that not everyone of a certain nationality can be blamed for that groups actions in wars. I do not tolerate seeing Croatophobia, Anti-Serb sentiments, Russophobia or any other sort of Anti-Slavic sentiments towards any other Slavs or claims of superiority over any other nationality's/groups on this blog.

If you would like to submit a post please link the sources. Such as texts and copyright holders you got the information from. Its so easy for people to fake things and claim they are backed up by tradition especially when discussing Magick. It's perfectly fine to link yourself as a source on information just be extremally clear about that.

No bible thumping! Please respect everyone's right to their own religion. Don't go under posts that discuss Magick or Rodnovery and comment things like "jesus loves you." or bible verses about how pegan's are going to hell or smth. Please don't attack other religions ether. Slavs are very diverse we come in all shapes and sizes some of us are catholic, jewish, orthodox, muslim or even pegan so please understand and respect the fact that not everyone follows your religion.

I do not support any extremist groups left or right leaning. Uses of covert phrases or dog whistles are not allowed on this blog. I will not platform or put a positive light on extremist groups like Ustaše, Chetniks, UPA, Neo-Nazis (Slavic Union,S14) or any other similar groups.

This blog is at least 16+. We discuss multiple facets of Slavic history on this blog. As you are probably aware Slavs have a very tremulous history.

Shizun 008 - Bizarre encounter at the part time job

There was a lot of job opportunities around campus.

Lu Yunzhen was experienced in a large variety of part time jobs. From game grinding, fast food, tutoring... he’s done them all. He’s quite good at them too, but thanks to his bad luck he’d often find himself at a sudden loss of employment, such as the time when the family he tutored for suddenly moved away...

He had been taking day jobs recently. Being paid daily in cash was nice and rarely had issues.

Yinmao mall was situated in the central district, which is the most prosperous part of Haiping city. It was a high end mall where trendy men and women often gathered.

The mall just had its ten year anniversary recently and was running a lot of promotions. A lot of part time workers were hired to dress up as pandas. They would be sent to local streets to hand out flyers, dance, and take photos with customers.

The work was 6 hours a shift. 200 yuan a day.

Lu Yunzhen happily put on the panda mascot costume, grabbed a pile of flyers, and started handing them out at the designated street corner. Every hour on the dot he’d do a dance with his coworkers, which attracted the smiles of the passersby.

The mascot costumes might look cute, but they’re actually very uncomfortable. It’s heavy, stuffy, hard to see out of, and exhausting to dance in.

It was the last day of the event, and the supervisor said whoever handed out the most flyers would get a bonus.

Lu Yunzhen was working extra hard.

Recently, he noticed that Mo Changkong not only looked cool, he was also a good guy. The night before, he was half awake when he noticed Mo Changkong standing by his bed. It was as if he was hungry but couldn’t bear to wake Lu Yunzhen up for food. After a lot of hesitation he ended up covering him up with a blanket so not even a little bit of stomach was left...

Lu Yunzhen finally realized why he had been waking up fully covered every morning. It wasn’t that his habit of kicking off his sheets was fixed, but rather that someone was taking care of him in secret.

He hasn’t felt that kind of warmth since his grandpa had passed away.

Lu Yunzhen was moved to absolute pieces.

He was already the type to pay back kindness to begin with, since there was someone who was being kind to him from deep within his heart, he would be sure to pay it back several times over. Even though he’s still not sure if he’s really Mo Changkong’s Shizun, if Mo Changkong trusts him then he’ll work hard to be a good one!

Every day, he would try to make new and interesting foods for Mo Changkong, to patiently teach him to speak, to read simplified writing, currency, arithmetics, home appliances, common sense, etc etc.

Mo Changkong studied very seriously.

Lu Yunzhen also wanted to save up some money for a phone. After he got a replacement screen for his phone, Mo Changkong was very curious and played with the phone for a long time. He especially love the camera option, and looked through all his photos, especially his selfies. They even took a selfie together and he had sighed, saying he wished they had something like this before.

Even a cheap phone costs over a thousand yuan.

Lu Yunzhen had been working for four hours straight without drinking water or taking a break. But a lot of customers didn’t want the flyers and either turned away or threw them into the trash.

Mo Changkong didn’t have an ID and couldn’t work.

He squatted nearby and his lungs were about to explode from anger. Shizun had vanquished demons, protected the innocent, and been respected by tens of thousands. Even kings had to put together a grand welcome for him, he’s never been through such injustice before.

A flyer that Shizun had handed out by his own hands was an unmatched honor. These mortals not only didn’t receive him on their knees, they even dared to turn him down and humiliate him, how despicable!

He wanted to capture the souls of these ungrateful humans and jail them in a dream for a hundred years where they’d have to hand out flyers. Just as a warning.

But, Shizun would get angry....

Shizun loved the mortal realm. Even after he gained immortality he often hid his identity to wander around the mortal realm. Butcher or beggar, king or general, farmer or wood cutter, musician or courtesan... as long as their personalities matched up they could all be Shizun’s friend.

Even if someone was shameless in front of him he’d let things go with a smile.

Shizun often said, sword cultivators have to have an open mind, that if he put everything in his heart his heart wouldn’t be happy anymore.

He has to be obedient, not pick fights, not do bad things.....

Mo Changkong took a deep breath, tried to open his mind, ignore those awful humans, and focus on the more polite humans.

He saw a girl take a flyer and say thank you with a smile.

Shizun seems to be very happy and made a heart gesture on the panda’s head.

Mo Changkong thought about it and found a mengmo corpse in his seed space.

Shizun never liked the beasts, and often said that sword cultivators can’t use dreams to numb themselves lest it damages their cultivation.

A lot of other cultivators loved them and often had mengmo hunts. This resulted in fewer and fewer of the things around. The one in his hand was a prize after killing some demonic cultivators.

Humans seem to love good dreams too...

Mo CHangkong pulled a hair from the mengmo, then used his powers to transform it into a spiritual butterfly and quietly fly it into the girl.

Tonight, she will realize all her wishes in her dreams, and have a happiness that she will never forget...

...

By dusk, Lu Yunzhen finally finished his stack of flyers.

Suddenly, a few drunken young people walked out of the nearby hotpot restaurant. They were all rather good looking and fashionable. Seeing the group of dancing pandas, they jogged over giggling and fell into a laughing pile.

The girls all started taking selfies with the pandas.

One of the guys who was clearly an imbecile wanted to make his girlfriend laugh, and so quietly walked behind Lu Yunzhen, wanting to knock on the mascot head and scare whoever’s inside.

“What do you think you’re doing?!” bellowed one of the other men. He shoved the rude man aside and continued, “That’s awful, I’m going to send you to jail!”

Lu Yunzhen really did get hit in the head.

There was a metal skeleton to the costume which was about two dozen pounds in weight. If it was hit too hard it would cause the wearer pain and maybe even a concussion.

Luckily the hit wasn’t very hard since someone stepped in, and he wasn’t hurt.

Lu Yunzhen swayed for a few steps then found his footing.

He looked up, then saw that the person who helped him was a fuerdai with diamond earrings, bleached blonde hair, and a strong scent of alcohol. He was rather handsome too. Lu Yunzhen nodded in gratitude.

The fuerdai reached out and rubbed at the area where the panda was hit, and almost cried from heartache. “Pandas are so adorable, and they’re national treasures too! How can you bully it like that?!”

This guy is really drunk...

“Don’t be scared, panda. I just LOVE pandas.” The fuerdai hugged Lu Yunzhen and rubbed his face against the costume. He continued with his confession, “I’m going to buy out a bamboo garden and feed you bamboo every day...”

Lu Yunzhen gestured at his friends, hoping that they’ll drag this drunk off of him.

“Don’t rush, don’t rush. Just let him hug you a little more”. The friends hurridly pulled out their phones and started recording from every angle while cackling. “We’re just taking this as a souvenir so we can should young master Long when he sobers up tomorrow.”

This fuerdai was named Long Jingtian, and his family was rather wealthy. He spent his days slacking off, hanging out with friends, and starting nonsense. He also loved drinking and always ended up as the butt of jokes when he got drunk.

Lu Yunzhen felt rather helpless.

After the friends had their share of the joke they got together and dragged Long Jingtian off. As an apology they grabbed the rest of Lu Yunzhen’s flyers and passed them amongst themselves.

Lu Yunzhen was happy to finish off his flyers and wasn’t bothered by the ramblings of a drunk. He was going to clean up and go home, only to realize that there was a few strands of dark mist on the crown of Long Jingtian’s head.

Something’s off about this...

Since he had his eyes opened to all this and had gleaned some supernatural knowledge from Mo Changkong, he’s seen a few ghosts around the neighbourhood. They were mostly the the elderly who recently died who haven’t reported to the underworld yet. Other than being a little pale and having a bit of a floaty walk, they looked nearly the same as when they were alive and it wasn’t scary.

The meanest ghost was in the school dorm near his house, where a young mom seems to have passed away suddenly. Every night when her son with poorgrades did his homework she would have a twisted expression and yell at the top of her lungs, “WHAT IS THE PERIMETER OF A RECTANGLE! DO THAT OVER AGAIN!”

Thanks to that mom, he’s not scared of ghosts anymore.

Lu Yunzhen thought of his xuanxue knowledge. He remembered that Mo Changkong had told him the crown of the head is connected to the soul. If there was dark mist around the crown, that means the person had been targeted by an evil spirit and is about to face a calamity. In the best case scenario they would have their vitality eaten and lose years of their life, and in the worst case scenario they would lose their life and have their soul scattered.

Long Jingtian was staggering away.

Lu Yunzhen hurriedly chased after him, examined the situation, and asked worriedly, “young sir, have you encountered anything strange lately? Like a ghost and such...”

Long Jingtian was shocked. “THE PANDA IS TALKING!”

Mascots aren’t permitted to speak, but since a human life is on the line Lu Yunzhen ignored the rules. He continued, “Something terrible might have happened to you, it’s very dangerous...”

“Oh fuck off. Do you know how to talk or not? If you don’t then shut it! I bet the ghost is after you!” Long Jingtian was sobering up somewhat and didn’t want to listen to all this declaration of bad luck. He shoved him away in a fit of anger and shouted, “You scammers should at least be professional! Make up something that isn’t fucking nonsense! Don’t think I’m an easy mark to screw over!”

As if there was some taoist master going around in a mascot costume.

Anyone would think it was a scammer.

Long Jintian got in a cab and got away while continuing to curse.

Lu Yunzhen didn’t blame him for the misunderstanding. He wanted to take off the costume and explain, but he couldn’t reach his back zipper... After struggling for a bit, he finally waved. Mo Changkong was watching his Shizun hop around adorably, but he finally realized it wasn’t a performance and hurried over to help.

Mo Changkong asked expectantly, “Shizun, those people were ignoble and impertinent. Do you want me to punish them? I promise I won’t kill anyone and will only cut off their hands?”

He was about to explode from his temper, but unfortunately Shizun didn’t say anything so he didn’t dare move.

“Stop joking around.” Lu Yunzhen manoeuvred his bulky body into an empty corner. “Help me take this off, I have something to ask”.

Mo Changkong was a little bit disappointed, but he obediently helped him take off the mascot outfit.

Lu Yunzhen wriggled out then immediately explained what happened, finally asking, “Is something... going to happen to that person?”

Mo Changkong raised a brow, a sincere smile tweaked at the corner of his mouth, and answered comfortingly, “Don’t worry, I saw that earlier. He just met an evil spirit and got tangled with some bad luck.”

He listens to Shizun so he won’t hurt people.... If some other evil spirit did something that’s not his problem.

Lu Yunzhen has only started to learn about xuanxue and didn’t really understand. When Mo Changkong said not to worry he thought he must have gotten things wrong and relaxed. He thought nothing more of it and happily went to return the costume and pick up his day’s pay.

...

Long Jingtian and his buddies went to a karaoke bar and continued to have a drunken time.

He mentioned that his family had recently invested in a streaming movie named “Zombie Princess”, and bragged, “investing in movies is just the best. All these beautiful women will bring themselves to your door, let you follow the unspoken rules, all just to get a bit role.”

No one believed him. “How hot could they be?”

Long Jingtian scrolled through his phone and dialed a number, giggling. “Baby, come to the box at the Starry Night Karaoke bar. I’m going to reconsider what we discussed last time. If you can give me a good time I’ll get my dad to get you the role of that female demon.”

After only a little time, there was knock on the door.

A classic beautify in a long embroidered skirt walked in. With long silky hair that was simply held up by a gold hairpin and clear skin that was flawless like white jade even with no makeup, all the women in the room were envious.

Everyone was stunned.

This beauty had lively. dewy eyes, like a doe, and like a bird. Greetings were given to everyone in the room, then there was a delicate call, “Long gongzi...”

That voice was so filled with seduction, the men almost felt like their souls were being called in.

Long Jingtian could feel his body melting.

The beauty nibbled at his ear and quietly said, “This one is here to follow the unspoken rules with Long Gongzi.”

Long Jingtian almost ascended on the spot.

Upon hearing that, everyone was either jealous, envious, or mad. Taking advantage of the general drunkenness, they started clamouring about how if Long Jingtian was a real man he should go get a room. There was a five star hotel right next door, if he didn’t go then he was a cowardly bastard!

The beautiful didn’t refuse, and only giggled bashfully.

Long Jingtian’s family was actually rather strict in this regard. Even though he was rather lax and prone to cursing, he never really did anything too outrageous. The bark is worse than the bite, after all. But now that someone actually agreed he was feeling rather timid, afraid that he was going to incur some debt that he can’t pay back.

His friends continued on, “Hey young master, you can’t get it up?”

“WHO CAN’T GET IT UP?!” Long Jingtian was weak against taunts. He downed the glass of whisky on the table for some liquid courage. If a beauty comes to his door, can he still call himself a man if he doesn’t go for it?! He hollered, “I’M GOING TO GET A ROOM RIGHT NOW!”

He held out his hand and the two of them walked out together.

After leaving the bar, he felt even drunker. Long Jingtian checked in in a daze, walked into the room in a daze, and was pushed onto the bed in a daze.

The beauty opened his belt and started serving him...

Long Jingtian had drunk a little much and couldn’t quite manage. He vaguely felt that something was wrong and pulled at the other, crying, “let’s stop with the unspoken rules, let’s be good kids...”

The beauty licked at his lobes and smiled, “No, this one must continue. This one has good technique, you will be serviced to your satisfaction...”

Long Jingtian didn’t really remember what happened after. He was very drunk and could only feel like he was being shaken on a small boat. His soul was leaving his body. It was a little painful, a little uncomfortable, and at the end very, very good...

In the middle of the night, he woke up feeling more alert. His body was covered in marks, and... his back size was hurting a bit... it was strange...

Long Jingtian turned his head stiffly, and saw the person sleeping soundly beside him. The blanket wasn’t covering everything and he could see clear skin and a flat figure.

So flat, very flat, flatter than him.

Long Jingtian quietly lifted his blanket, and saw that the beauty had a body like his, only even bigger.

He was completely sober.

Dance Of Passion (A Dance Central Story)

Dance Of Passion (A Dance Central Story Series)

Synopsis: This series is an old one from my account on Quotev. It’s been about 2 years since I ever updated the series or even made any corrections to it. But, I decided to bring it over to this blog to hopefully revive the fandom even just a tiny bit and bring some more light to it. Anyways, onto the summary.

Summary: In the heart of Brooklyn, New York, dance is everything. Well, everything to normal people. Y/n, on the other hand, is not normal. Cursed with the ability to see and dispel negative entities on others, she chooses to not interact with anyone that’s not her family. However, when her brother and his group of friends go missing for half a year, she has no choice but to battle her way to the top, reunite with old friends and find out what really happened to her brother.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

No One's pov                Today was a beautiful day to be outside for everyone. Well, not everyone. "Ugh, come on, I swear on everything that I believe in, this level is gonna be the death of me." Said Y/n, frustration in the tone of her voice. "Still stuck on the level?" A young boy shouted from the kitchen.

          "Yep. I’ve been stuck on this level for the last hour and it’s making me want to rage-quit." Y/n replied, annoyance on her face. "Well, how about you take a break? I made your favorite." Said the boy with a big smile on his face."That might be what I need. Thanks, Jason." “No problem, sis.”  And with that end of that conversation, both siblings ate in silence.

            Meanwhile, their older brother was at practice as usual. "Hey, Mo, what time did you say you had to get home? It’s getting pretty late." A teen asked his crew partner. The guy in question, Mo, perked up at the statement and quickly checked his phone. The bright screen flashed the time, 10:50 p.m., and he just knew he wouldn’t make it home in time. "Shit, they’re definitely gonna kill me this time." Mo exclaimed, panic spread across his face. “Yo, I’ll see you at school!” He shouted at his friend, halfway out the door when his friend responded with a quick ‘ok!’.

            He quickly grabbed his stuff, put it in his bag,and sprinted to the train station to go home. After a 30 minute train ride and two mile sprint, Mo had finally reached the door to his house. As if on queue, the door swung open harshly to reveal Y/n and Jason, the former seething with unbridled rage. Mo let off a shaky smile of nervousness, slowly slinking his way to the door. His actions made both of the younger siblings move out of the way so that Mo could enter the house.

            As soon as that door closed behind them, that’s when chaos erupted."Where have you been for the past three hours?!" Yelled Y/n, her eyes narrowing into a glare. "I was at practice like normal." Mo replied, moving to sit on the couch.”Even though your curfew was at 9?! You know you can't just stay out that long, you also have to keep up your good grades. I'm also worried about you and your safety. What if you had gotten robbed or hell, even attacked and we didn't know? This is Brooklyn, after all." Y/n said. "Who would take care of us then?" Jason asked, worried about his older brother. Hearing the break in his younger brother’s voice, it pulled a string in his chest. His eyes moved to his sister and despite the initial anger she had, he could see in her eyes that she had been scared and worried about him.

          He then got up off the couch and leant down in front of his siblings. "Hey, don't give me that look, guys. I'm sorry for being late and I promise I’ll let you know if I’m coming home late next time." Mo said, laughing nervously. This brought small tears to the younger siblings' eyes and they swarmed in a tight hug. Mo hugged them back and kept apologizing until they all fell asleep on the couch.The Next MorningMo's Pov             The next morning rolled around and I was woken up to the delicious smell of blueberry chocolate pancakes coming from the kitchen.'Y/n must be up then.’ I thought to myself, sitting up and letting out a big yawn, stretching my arms out before hopping up off the couch. Walking into the kitchen, I saw Y/n standing in front of the stove in her school uniform. "I know you’re there, Mo." She chimed, not even turning around to see me. "Aww, I wanted to scare you, but you ruined it." I said, pouting. "Well, I can't be scared so easily. Anyways, go wake up Jason and tell him to come eat." She said, putting two pancakes on each plate for all three of us. " Sure.” I replied, going to turn around but stopped. “Hey, are you okay ?" I asked Y/n, a bit curious by the look on her face. She stopped what she was doing and turned around to face me. 

    "What do you mean?" She asked, a strained smile on her face. "Well, you seem quieter than your normal self, so tell me what's going on." I said, crossing my arms. "Nothing is wrong, I'm just tired. That’s all." "Ok. If anything is bothering you, you can tell me." I said, before going upstairs to wake up Jason. Once I reached the top stairs, I saw Jason exiting his room in his uniform. "Hey, man, I was just coming to wake you up. Let's go and eat breakfast." I said, catching Jason's attention. "Huh, oh, sure." He murmured quietly. I was a bit concerned at the response, but I just shrugged it off and followed him down the stairs. When Jason and I reached the end of the stairs, we saw Y/n finishing her breakfast at the table. "Hey guys, hurry up and eat, we have to go to school in twenty minutes and Mo, once you're done eating breakfast, go put your uniform on." Y/n said, finishing the last bite of her meal. Both Jason and I nodded then sat down and started to eat.

            Placing her dishes in the sink, Y/n went to the living room where her school bag was and checked to see if she had everything. As soon as she saw that everything was in order, she zipped up her bag and went back to the kitchen. She then looked at us as if she was rushing for us to finish our breakfast.

            Luckily we were done to the last bite, so we finished rather quickly and washed our plates. I went upstairs to change into my uniform. Once I was done changing, I put on my shoes and went downstairs. "Hurry up, Mo. We're going to be late." Y/n yelled from downstairs

              "Ok, ok. Now I'm ready." I said, finishing the knot on my shoe. We then left the house to see that a car was parked outside the house. "Hey, Mo, come on." Said a boy around Y/n's age. "Sure, see you two at home." I said, kissing Y/n on her forehead and ruffling Jason's hair.

          They didn't like those gestures and pulled away and started walking to school. I gave one last look towards them before getting in the car with the others. " Hey, Mo, who were those guys?" Said the boy from before. "Those were my younger siblings. Let's just go Glitch. " And with that, we pulled out of the driveway and down the street.

~~~

Y/n's pov            After last night, Jason and I had decided to forgive Mo for missing curfew. Though, it didn’t mean that I was happy about it. We began making our way to school after Mo left with his group of friends in their car. The walk to school wasn’t too long and as soon as we reached the gates, Jason and I parted ways. Him, going to his classes, and me, heading to the commons area where I meet up with my own group of friends. We had hung out for a bit, catching up on the latest in our lives before the bell rang for us to get to class. It felt like deja vu - like the first day of school all over again only this time, we’re all saying good-bye to each other. An hour into the school day, the bell rang once more signaling that it was lunch time. 

              Walking around the school building, my phone's notification ring went off alerting me that I had a text. I pulled my phone from my pocket to see that the message was from Mo.   'Meet me in the courtyard in front of school, there's some people I want you to meet. - From Mo'. I quickly replied with 'sure' and headed towards the courtyard.

        Once I was in the courtyard, I scanned the area looking for my brother to see him near the fountain with some people. I started to head over there when I heard my name being called. Looking around for the person calling me, I saw my best friend, Julianna, waving her arms to get my attention. Running towards her, I had forgotten what I was previously doing and Mo had noticed that.Mo's Pov               After I had sent Y/n the text asking her to meet up in the courtyard, I put my phone in my hoodie pocket and waited. As I waited for her to show up, I turned back to the conversation Aubrey and Bodie were having. The conversation lasted for about five minutes when I saw Y/n walking over, more like running since the courtyard is really huge. Though, she went up to someone else before she even saw me. Laughing to myself, I continued to wait until the conversation was over. Though, the conversation didn’t last long before I felt a force knock me forward. However, I didn’t catch my balance in time and fell to the ground.

            “Dammit, Mo, you were supposed to catch me. Not let me fall to the ground.” Y/n groaned in pain. "You okay though?" I asked her,  standing up before checking to see if she had any injuries. "Yeah, I'm fine." She said, brushing herself off and rising to her feet. I then nodded and led her over to the group. "Guys, I want you to meet my sister, Y/n. Y'all saw her this morning." I said to the guys. "Hi, it's nice to meet you all." Y/n said, a smile spread across her face. " Aww, she's so cute, isn't she?" Said Aubrey.

              "Yeah, how old are you?" Asked Emilia, "I'm 17, so I'm just a year or two younger than you guys except the guy with green dye in his hair." Y/n explained. Aubrey and Emilia looked surprised and turned to me for confirmation. I nodded to them. “I could’ve sworn you were younger than that.” “Anyways, This is Emilia, Bodie, Aubrey, Angel, Taye, Lil’ T and Glitch.” I explained, pointing to them as I said their names.  "Why is she so short?" Glitch asked. An irk mark appeared on Y/n's forehead as she started to get angry. "Dude, you shouldn't have said that." I said, going to hold Y/n back before she blew up. "WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY? I'M NOT SHORT, WE'RE TECHNICALLY THE SAME HEIGHT YOU ASSHOLE! LET ME AT HIM, HE DESERVES A GOOD PUNCH IN THE FUCKING DICK!!!!!!!!" Y/n yelled while struggling to get out of my grip. Everyone looked at us in shock while Glitch got scared and hid behind Bodie.

            "Wow, she's feisty." Said Angel. Once Y/n was calm, I let her go as she huffed in anger. "Now that she's met you guys, we have to go get our little brother and head home." I said. Everyone mumbled out an ‘okay’ before Y/n spoke up. "Would you guys like to eat dinner with us?" Y/n asked. "Sure." Everyone agreed. "That sounds great! What time should we swing by?" Asked Aubrey. "Around 7:30 if that's okay with you guys." Y/n replied with a small, gummy smile. Everyone looked at each other and nodded at each other, agreeing with the time arrangement.

          "Great, so meet us at our house at the agreed time." I said. “You can also bring something if you want, but it doesn’t really matter.”  Everyone nodded before turning to leave and go about their business. After setting up plans to meet up, I turned to see Y/n walking away. "Hey, where are you going?" I asked, running up to her. "I'm going to go meet up with Jason. After that, we’re going to the store to shop for dinner." She replied. 

              After everything was said and done, Y/n left and I went back to my group, who were standing by my car. "So, that's your little sister then. I have to say, she's pretty feisty." Aubrey said with a little smirk. "Yeah, anyways, I'm gonna go and head home. See y'all later." I said, getting in my car. "See ya." All of them said. After that, I drove off back to my house.

Wedding Seating Arrangement You Must Look At!

Planning a wedding is an exciting yet overwhelming process, and one of the most crucial aspects to consider is the seating arrangement. A well-thought-out seating plan ensures a smooth flow of the event, allowing guests to enjoy the celebration without any discomfort. Whether you’re organizing a grand wedding or an intimate ceremony, proper seating arrangements will set the tone for a memorable event. In this guide, we will explore the best wedding seating arrangements, tips for optimizing space, and how OpusRentals can provide the best solutions with wedding chairs for rent, tables and chairs rentals, and more.

Understanding Wedding Seating Arrangements

Seating arrangements are essential in determining how guests interact, move, and experience your wedding. There are various styles to consider, depending on your theme, venue, and guest list. Below are some of the most popular wedding seating layouts:

Traditional Banquet Style

This setup features long rectangular tables arranged in parallel rows with guests seated on either side. It works well for large weddings, fostering a communal atmosphere where guests can engage in conversations easily. It also optimizes space, making it ideal for venues with a long, narrow layout.

Round Table Setup

A classic choice for weddings, round tables encourage guest interaction and provide an elegant aesthetic. They create a balanced look and allow everyone at the table to see each other, making it ideal for family gatherings and formal receptions. Party rentals LA services, like OpusRentals, offer high-quality round tables that can enhance the elegance of your venue.

U-Shaped Layout

This setup features a U-shaped arrangement of tables with an open space in the middle. It is ideal for intimate weddings where the couple wants to maintain a close connection with their guests. The U-shaped setup allows for easy movement and provides a great view of the central stage or dance floor.

Theatre Style Seating

If your wedding ceremony is taking place at a venue with a stage or an altar, a theatre-style seating arrangement works well. Chairs are placed in straight rows facing the main event area. This setup maximizes seating capacity and ensures all guests have a clear view of the couple.

Family-Style Seating

Inspired by traditional family dinners, this setup features long tables where guests sit close together, creating a warm and intimate atmosphere. This layout works well for rustic, bohemian, and outdoor weddings.

Key Considerations for Wedding Seating Arrangements

Space Optimization

Choosing the right tables and chairs for your venue is crucial. Ensure that there is enough room for guests to move around freely without feeling cramped. Tables and chairs rentals from OpusRentals offer flexible options to accommodate different venue sizes and themes.

Guest Comfort and Accessibility

Make sure that elderly guests, guests with disabilities, and families with children have comfortable seating. Providing cushioned chairs, accessible seating areas, and proximity to exits can make a big difference in guest experience.

The Couple’s Positioning

Where you and your partner sit is also important. The sweetheart table (a separate table for the couple) is a popular choice, giving the newlyweds a special space while allowing them to interact with guests throughout the event.

Venue Layout and Theme

The seating arrangement should complement the overall theme of your wedding. Whether it’s a beach wedding, garden wedding, or ballroom reception, choosing the right party rentals Los Angeles services will help you achieve the desired ambiance.

The Flow of Events

Consider the sequence of events when designing your seating plan. Ensure that tables are placed in a way that allows easy movement from the dining area to the dance floor, bar, or buffet station.

LADY-J Winter Edition parte da Madonna di Campiglio. L'8/3 allo Chalet Spinale c'è Georgia Mos

L'energia della musica incontra la magia delle montagne. Ecco cosa succede nella prima tappa di LADY-J Winter Edition, che parte l'8 marzo, non per caso. E' infatti il Women's Day, una giornata tutta al femminile, quando Georgia Mos farà scatenare con la sua musica lo Chalet Spinale di Madonna di Campiglio (TN). Non è sola, visto che è accompagnata da altre due ragazze capaci di far scatenare ogni pubblico. Paola Peroni con il suo sound, Eleonora Salvi con la sua voce e la sua energia.

Ma chi è Georgia Mos? Ecco come la descrive un recente articolo di Next Gen Magazine: "La sua storia comincia a Sanremo, ma per seguire la musica Georgia Mos ha girato pressoché tutto il mondo. È così che il suo sound si è evoluto, dalla passione per il canto e la chitarra classica quando era una bambina, fino al primo approccio con la Dance durante gli anni a Londra, dove si comincia a concretizzare la sua strada da dj. Poi arriva la partecipazione come prima donna al talent Top dj, e un lungo tour che la porta tra Europa, Cina, India e Nepal. «Dieci anni fa la Dance e l'Elettronica erano molto più avanti all'estero rispetto all'Italia, focalizzata sulla musica pop melodica. Per trovare la mia dimensione sono dovuta partire» ci racconta, arrivando ai suoi ultimi successi: nel 2024 è stata una delle prime dj a suonare allo stadio di Torino, poi giurata per il talent LADY-J e, nello stesso anno, ha pubblicato, la hit Afro House, 'Confetti'...".

LADY-J, il primo contest inclusivo e sostenibile che celebra il talento musicale al femminile, non si ferma. Dopo il successo dell'estate 2024, quando la manifestazione ha coinvolto oltre un milione di persone nei beach club più scatenati d'Italia (250.000 come audience live, oltre 750.000  tra impression social, copertura mediatica e votazioni su su Lady-j.it), invece di aspettare l'estate 2025, già a marzo fa ballare gli Après-ski più iconici delle località montane di riferimento. E non solo: lo scopo dei party invernali è infatti scovare nuovi talenti del mixer al femminile da lanciare durante la nuova edizione Summer 2025.

E' LADY-J Winter Edition, che scalda già i motori per 5 party da non perdere… E non per caso parte l'8 marzo, la Festa della Donna, celebrando il talento femminile in musica. In questa data il tour parte dallo Spinale di Madonna di Campiglio (TN). Il 15 marzo invece il party a Courmayeur è doppio, sia all'Outsider sia allo Shatush. Il 22 marzo LADY-J Winter Edition si sposta a Cervinia, al Rocce Nere. Il 19 ed il 20 aprile gran finale a Livigno, con due appuntamenti. Prima al Centrale, il 19 e poi il 20, al Bivio.

In altre parole, LADY-J Winter Edition è un gran bel modo per aspettare la seconda edizione di LADY-J, prevista per l'estate 2025, quando la manifestazione tornerà a far muovere a tempo tutto il Bel Paese.  L'organizzazione di LADY-J Winter Edition è ancora a cura di Match Music, realtà che da decenni spazia tra musica, tv e organizzazione eventi curando ogni dettaglio con cura maniacale. 

«Crediamo nella bellezza della musica e ci piace celebrarla coinvolgendo le persone in questo mondo», spiega lo staff di LADY-J, che anche nel nuovo tour invernale sarà di nuovo il palcoscenico perfetto per brand d'eccellenza come Shiseido ed Ergovis, che confermano la loro presenza. I due brand hanno valori comuni:  Shiseido crede nel potere della bellezza, per un mondo migliore e con i suoi solari protegge la pelle. Ergovis, invece integratore di vitamine a lento rilascio, potenzia le difese immunitarie e supporta la nostra salute.

Riassumendo, si scrive LADY-J e si legge le DJ ed è il talent pensato per supportare le DJ del futuro, le protagoniste della scena della scena musicale di domani. Nel corso dell'estate 2024, LADY-J, con quattro scatenate tappe tra Napoli, Venezia, Massa, Genova, Riccione ha fatto ballare i beach club d'Italia. Aspettando l'estate 2025, LADY-J Winter Edition tiene alto il ritmo facendo muovere a tempo gli Après-ski di riferimento.
