thoughts on junhui and yanan's performance? i do kind of agree with hao when he said that there could be a tendency where yanan could be overpowered by jun and his role. and it did show in the performance... but god the concept of the stage in general? is so galaxy brain to me jkshafkjds its interesting that we see a lot of what goes on in junhui's brain junhui is so much more than a pretty face,,, tho i really do feel that yanan was overshadowed dsajhkjfd but the high note he belted out? legend

ahh did hao say that? i do agree that yanan was overshadowed, it was kind of already obvious from the previews though from their body language: junnie was obviously taking on a more leadership role. i must admit, as a jun stan, that definitely excited me. i dont recall a single moment where junnie has taken the lead in a musical endeavor, he was always passive for whatever reason. this might sound kinda...rough...but i think something about svt holds him back. back to the performance, though...same! i thought the stage was absolutely beautiful. to me this is what id call a ‘performance’. the way he combined acting with the music and singing was great. nothing was overbearing or felt unnecessary or out of place, which is something that i definitely felt with my i (it was ironic to me how a song that is about continuity felt so..discontinuous and truncated through that rearrangement). the composition itself was so bare at points! like not much is happening really its the same four chords more or less and the vocal melody itself is repetitive and predictive. thats how much the performance lied in the hands of the performance to make it interesting and i think junnie definitely pulled through. im not sure what the mission exactly was but two teams had to take one piece of music and incorporate it into another song? something along those lines im not sure about the exact nuances behind it but junnie and yanan did not really ‘weave it into the music’ perse? like i think the idea was to use that simple melody as a motif when u combined it with another song but junnie and yanan only had it playing from the record player. to me, i dont think that was a bad choice, maybe not what the show was expecting, but it wasnt a bad choice at all. it was interesting to see how they would tackle the ‘problem’ of that song and its interesting because the way that the melody was actually put into the song was as a plot point, almost something ud expect from musical theater. junnie is an actor through and through like the way his mind works is to see things as a story which i think is wonderful. if the mission was to incorporate two songs together  and combine it into one, they definitely didnt fulfill that goal, but if it was just to use two songs for one performance then i dont see anything wrong with what they did. one song was used as the main melodic push and the other song was used as a plot point to enhance the performance aspect of it.tl;dr this stage was GORGEOUS and i loved seeing what sort of things are going on inside junnies brain. as u said, hes not just a pretty face, and hes not just a silly person who plays jokes all the time. he is both but hes a lot more than that too and as a jun stan its been a struggle to get anything from him past those two things that he always pushes in svt. i was very very very thankful for this stage. it might be a rare once in a lifetime thing but i hope to god it isnt i need to hear his artistic voice in svt more please its absolutely wonderful.  and although yanans artistic voice could have been overshadowed, i do think theres something to be said about the person who can properly execute the vision of another artist like that is not easy either. must be something magical about the boy ahaha two of my fav stages have involved him (my fav from last weeks was his duet with jc). i cant wait for him to also unlease his magic and show the world what he can do! laksjdf under the cut is my interpretation of the stage and performance because i wanted to note it down somewhere ahaha

i think i read some translation somewhere that junnie meant for the performance to be like yanan as a spectator and jun as someone, i dont know how else to express this , but as someone who is 'losing their mind' per se? but to me it kinda seemed like two halves of a whole. perhaps yanan did start off as a spectator, and thats why the performance starts off with them either separated with a barrier or by space, distance, and direction. its right after junnie touches yanan that the record player starts playing again after yanan had stopped it at the beginning of the performance, and thats when he breaks it too. when yanan unmasks junnie its almost as if hes uncovered the other part of himself? like this mysterious masked figure just turns out to be himself in the end? its also after that part where they start singing to each other and gradually closing the space between them and even musically like did u notice their parts switched? the lines that junnie was singing in the first part of the song, yanan now sings and vice versa. they start becoming more and more unified as the song progresses, performance wise and musically as well. even the calm yanan gets a bit ‘riled up’ by the end of the song, you can see junnies persona seep into his own. but thats how i saw it. the wonderful thing about music is how open to interpretation it is. i think its these kinds of performances that are so open to interpretation that are even more musical imo laksdj idk how to explain,

Sundress - Steve Harrington

Pairing: Steve Harrington x fem!reader , 

Summary: Steve and the reader on a date but Steve can’t help but stare at how gorgeous the reader looks in her sundress

A/n : This is an idea I came up with at around 2 am so sorry if it sucks :)

Steve: This past Friday, Steve Harrington had asked you out to dinner and a walk on the beach, to which you excitedly accepted. You were beyond happy. You were so glad that Steve had asked you out, because you had been getting lonely at home, being cooped up in your room listening to music and reading books and magazines, plus you Really liked Steve, so it was a win-win situation. Tonight was a lovely night, the streets were vacant and tranquil, exactly the way you liked it. You were currently listening to The new kids on The Block, picking out your outfit for your date with Steve, and deciding how you were going to do your hair and makeup. After many minutes of contemplation, you had decided that you were going to wear your favourite baby blue sundress, and braid your hair nicely. 

 It had taken you around an hour to get ready. You had been at it for so long that the album that was on your record player had looped, and had started over on the first track again. You were finishing up your makeup at your vanity, when you heard a tap against your window. You tip toed over to your window and peered out, catching Steve Harrington’s eye as he looked up at you flabbergasted. You giggled and signalled him to just wait a second for you to come downstairs to meet him outside. He nodded at you and gave you a thumbs up as he began to walk back to his car.

 You gave yourself a once over in the mirror, pleased with your appearance, and snatched your favourite perfume off your vanity, spraying it on your neck and wrists. You then smoothed out your dress and began to walk down stairs and out the door, making your way towards Steve and his car. Soon after, you were faced towards Steve in front of the passenger side of the car. He opened the door for you, and you thanked him and flashed a small smile at him. When you were comfortable, Steve strolled around the front of the car, and hopped in the driver’s seat. He looked over at you, his lips slightly parted and his cheeks rosy before stating “You look gorgeous, Y/N. I mean really, y-you look g-great, really-” Your cheeks had heated up so much by his words. “Thank you Steve. You look very handsome tonight.” Now it was Steve’s turn to blush furiously. He ran a hand through his hair and placed his hands on the steering wheel, beginning to drive to the restaurant. 

 About 15 minutes later, you had arrived at the restaurant which overlooked the ocean. You were directed to your table, and were about to sit down, before Steve’s hand ghosted against your own, resting on the back of the chair. “Allow me.” He said, his voice an octave above a whisper. You blushed again as he helped you into your seat. You had ordered and ate, making small talk about how your summers were going so far. “so far my summer has been pretty eventless” You admitted. “I’ve just been sitting in my room reading. I’ve read about 10 books since summer has started” you mumbled. You were so embarrassed by telling Steve this detail. It seemed like you had no life compared to him. He was probably at a party everyday of the week, and you were at home sitting in your room like a hermit reading romance novels. However, what you didn’t know was that Steve had been at home most of the time, working up the courage to talk to you, you were always on his mind. You looked down at your lap to hide your embarrassment, and Steve laughed a bit. “That is so freakin’ cute.” He spoke. “Just so you know, I’d much rather have a girl that loves to read, rather than go to raging parties every night. Intelligence is so attractive.” His eyes were lost in yours, both of your so immersed in your conversation. After that comment from Steve you practically looked like a tomato. 

   After you had both finished your meals, Steve had proposed the idea of taking a walk on the beach. So here you were, watching the sunset as the waves crashed by. You were at such a state of peace, looking at the cotton candy horizon, but all Steve was looking at was you. And with that, Steve turned towards you, and gently placed his hands on your waist. Your eyes locked with his and your breath hitched. Steve’s hand slid around to the small of your back, while the other moved to the back of your neck. His eyes flickered to your lips, and back to your eyes, before connecting his lips with yours. The moment was surreal. You had never thought that you would be kissing Steve Harrington, but boy you were glad that you were. He broke away from the kiss, looking into your eyes once again, “You are absolutely breathtaking Y/N Y/LN” He expressed.

 You had finished your walk on the beach, and you were now driving home. Most of the car ride was consisting of both of you exchanging loving looks at each other. Steve pulled up in front of your house, and opened the door for you, just as he had been doing all evening. “I had a really great time with you tonight” He said, taking your hands in his. “Me too. I’m glad you asked me.” You whispered. “We should do this again. We have the whole summer ahead of us, plus I wouldn’t want you to be so bored that you read all of the books in the library.” He winked. You giggled at his words and agreed to call him in the near future. He placed a kiss on your hand and bid you goodnight as you walked into your house, and waved at him. 

You could barely sleep that night, you were thinking about Steve too much.

THAT ENDING SUCKED SO BAD BUT I DIDNT KNOW HOW TO CLOSE IT OFF
