hey . get attacked okay ? 🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪

and a small thing 👇

ok thankyou

[gee-arid]

ok, sorry if question is a bit long and if you have answered, please put the link for me to see please. Well... what are the names of the heroes? What was each heroe's first choice? (I mean the ladybug and cat holder). I know that Marinette is with the Fox and Ivan with the turtle, but for some reason I think that if they swap it would combine more (I speak more in symbolism, ivan who cannot lie with the "miraculous of lie"). What is the weapon of each carrier? About the turtle and Ivan, I think a purplish blue would match more (that leatherback turtle). What are the camouflaged forms of each miraculous? Do you have the reason why every person has every miraculous?

A big ask, but thats okay! I'd love to answer! Note that some answers like names and weapons are subject to change, im not great with names and im less familliar with some characters than others so, opinions and other ideas are awesome :)

Names and weapons, left to right:

Aliase Rouges (red wings), Cartoony sledge hammer

Veilluese (night light), Grappling hook

Bison? Hyland?, Guitar- its electric but doesnt have to be plugged in..

Adora (play on Adore), Frisbee

Ouroboros, Mirror shield (play on the medusa myth)

Tack (to temporarily fasten something together), Big Needle

Captain Stinger (shortened to Sting), Cutlass

Jockey?, Reins? maybe a whip

Alectryon, rooster body (i guess?)

Jack Rabbit (shortened to Jack), Pickaxe

Ridley (a type of turtle), Detatched shields- Bonus purpley-blue version: honestly it works just as well.

Tora (Japanese for tiger, i think), Sythe

R.A.T (acronym for Rodent Assist Team? idk, funny bit based on pokemons F.E.A.R strat lol, also sounds like a dj name??. also based on his purpose being mostly assisting pedestrians), Glow sticks (almost like a pair of lightsabers, without the deadliness. Basically glowing battons)

Boar, Boomerang (shaped like boar tusks).

Cirrus (a type of cloud, Aroure and Mirelle share the name and the miraculous), Lightning rod/ wind sock

Caprix (Play on Caprine), Chunky roller blades

Gibbon? (a type of monkey), one of those silly stretchy sticky hands

Reasons for each holder are here!

First choices are also listed there, if there isnt an alternative listed, they either had the same idea or no strong preference for a different holder. Regarding swapping holders based on symbolism (i.e. Ivan with the fox, Mari with the turtle) that would be super cool and i may draw them at some point in the future, but wouldn't fit with my au. This is because my bug and cat holders choose them based on preexisting relationships, traits, and talents.

Camouflaged forms are these:

Struggled with Alyas rabbit miraculous tbh, it doesnt quite fit with my au for it to stay a pocket watch anyway (the Rabbits power being swapped from Burrow in a time sense, to Burrow in a dig way) so i guess its normal activated form would be some kind of keychain? Alyas disguise currently is a tamogachi :)

Nino wears the mouse necklace wrapped around his wrist like a bracelet.

Max's snake bracelet turns into a smart watch.

Markovs claw connects to his existing claws, and mimics what claws he already has.

Mirelle and Aroure have similar chokers with the charm changed. Aroure has the lightning bolt, Mirelle has the rain drop. They have the chokers replicated by comission with Marinette so they can swap the actual miraculous between them when needed.

Sabrinas sunglasses are prescription. They could also be just normal glasses, no black tint, when appropriate.

Marcs ring, where rainbow, is iridescent!

The butterfly and peacock are still unavailable to our heroes.

Nightclub - Sythe and Maren

Maren y Sythe se unen a los modernos, y siguen viéndose muy bien juntos, y parece que la moderna Maren es mas abierta que la malhumorada canónica XD, boceto sugerido por Akadu.

#27 - Mustard & Nipsey Hussle - Perfect Ten

Nipsey Hussle is a hip hop artist who passed away last year, and left a big hole in the scene. I will confess, I wasn’t particularly moved by much of his music prior to his death, and even since his passing, I don’t suddenly love all of his work...but at the same time, I respect his hustle. I respect what he represented for his community. This was a man who founded his own record label, opened his own clothing store, invested in communal work spaces in his city where people could take classes in math, science, and technology. He also put his own money into underprivileged schools in his city. He was working on arranging a meeting between the L.A.P.D. and the community to figure out how to put an end to the gang violence in the area before he was senselessly murdered right in front of his clothing store. Despite the fact that he wasn’t the biggest superstar, he was known for his drive, and his commitment to his community.

“Perfect Ten” closes out Mustard’s album of the same title (the producer formerly known as DJ Mustard btw), and it’s smooth ride of syths, bass, and keys, as Nipsey’s gives a posthumous verse and chorus about what really matters. Cars, money, and hoes versus drive and determination...loyalty and ambition. In between his rap verses are clips from interviews he did speaking on what motivates him to do what he does, in addition to why protest music is important to the culture. This record gets me thinking about how soon a life can be taken away, and how long will it take for me to recognize my own dreams and reach them. All in all, it’s a great way to honor an important modern figure in hip hop, who was most certainly taken away from us too soon.

TOP TRAX: HERE, KITTY KITTY! TOVE LO'S LATEST IS PURR-FECTION

By DJ FR8-O | Photos provided by Mighty Real Agency

When it comes to the music biz, there's no doubt it's the girls who run the world. Just take one look at your gym or party playlist – riddled with hits by Ariana, Gaga, Beyoncé, Lizzo, P!nk and Madonna – and you'll believe me. Still, there's another girls club you may not be on a first-name basis with; not yet at least. They hover on the fringe of fame, dropping the occasional anthem, then mysteriously creep back into the crowd until their next big surprise hit. They've not yet earned the title of queen or princess, but they still make you wanna drop everything and treat your treadmill like it's the middle of the dance floor. One of those divas is Swedish singer-songwriter Tove Lo, and her new album Sunshine Kitty, may just be your next obsession.

The 31-year-old singer-songwriter crashed the party back in 2014 with her breakout hit "Habits (Stay High)," an anthem for anyone who likes to deal with their break-ups in the most deliciously unhealthy ways. Then again, who doesn't? It must have worked, because it wasn't long before her follow up "Talking Body," started chatting us up with lyrics like, "If we're talking body, you've got a perfect one, so put it on me." Tove's gift for wordplay and fearless attitude have led her to collaborations with some of Europe's major players, like Charli XCX, Icona Pop, Alesso, Major Lazer, Ellie Goulding, and Zara Larsson. And how can we forget her part in the slow-burning Nick Jonas track "Close?"

On her fourth time out the gate, the Golden Globe and Grammy-nominated multi-platinum artist has managed to do what other artists seem unable to successfully accomplish lately: evolve gracefully. Her signature experimental style is still there, but this time it's been polished with happier earworms like the girlfriend pep-talk "Glad He's Gone," the vulnerable "Come Undone," the smoldering "Stay Over" and my personal obsession "Sweettalk My Heart." This collection is not short on hot collaborations either; with cameos by Kylie Minogue ("Really Don't Like You"), ALMA ("Bad as the Boys"), and the dance floors newest prince, Jax Jones ("Jacques").

"I've finally landed in a place where there are some of the usual challenges," she explains about her sudden musical mood swing, "but I feel more at home with the weirdness of what it means to be a person who puts her heart on paper for everyone to listen to. I'm vulnerable, but not angry, It's the same emotional honesty – yet happy." Whatever the reason, the result is Tove's best work ever, perfectly tip-toeing the line between relevant pop and rebellious experimentation. It's futuristic syths meshed with organic instrumentation, aggressive confidence blended with raw emotions, and a touch of doubt brightened by a ray of sunshine.

Tove Lo will be kicking off her U.S. Sunshine Kitty Tourin February 2020. I, for one, will be there living my best life and singing every one of these tracks like I wrote them myself. Check tove-lo.com for tour dates and deets.

Full line up revealed for WinterStorm in Troon, Scotland

Heavy Pettin’, The Quireboys, Syteria, and Rock Goddess added to 2017 line Up

Full line up revealed for WinterStorm in Troon, Scotland…

The organisers of WinterStorm 2017 in Troon, Ayrshire on the west coast of Scotland have unveiled the remainder of the line up for the classic rock weekend taking place on Friday 24th and Saturday the 25th of November 2017 and it includes UK blues rock favourites The Quireboys, female heavy metal band Rock Goddess, and from nowhere the first gig in thirty years for Glasgow rockers Heavy Pettin’.

Both Rock Goddess and Heavy Pettin’ playing their first gig in Scotland for three decades and will be joined by Syteria, the side project of Jackie Chambers from Girlschool.

In addition the whole weekend will be signed off with a rocking and rolling WinterStorm closing set featuring the unique talents of Chris Glen (SAHB and MSG) on bass, Doogie White (Rainbow, MSG) on vocals and Paul McManus (GUN) on drums with a host of special guests.

Ian McCaig who’s running the weekend event said,

“We were really fortunate with our first-year line up and there was a quality right through both days and it’s going to be difficult to follow but hopefully we can match it. The announcement fills in the two day line up which had already confirmed NWOBHM legends Praying Mantis andTygers of Pan Tang while guitar legends Bernie Torme from Gillan andBernie Marsden (Whitesnake) will be appearing with their bands including Neil Murray on bass for Marsden.

Graham Bonnet of Rainbow fame will be live on stage on the Saturday night and the more melodic side of the weekend sees US rockers Tykettoand DARE appearing.”

The weekend includes sixteen bands from across genres and, as well as the aforementioned acts, will introduce some superb up and coming Storm Breakers such as Mason Hill, Stone Broken, Massive Wagons, Bigfoot and The King Lot  all of whom have already been confirmed.

A Mix of Genres across the weekend.

WinterStorm has created a weekend of guitar riffs “Doon the Watter” with two days of Seaside Rock with a bit of AOR, a touch of Heavy Metal, a hint of the Blues, with some of the best new and classic rock bands atTroon Concert Hall.

2017 has a very old school “Reading Festival” theme running through its veins with appearances for more than half a dozen groups and artistes who performed at that famous festival in the seventies and eighties.

As well as the main stage at Troon Concert Hall there’s a “Before The Storm Event” featuring Syteria and Guests at Glasgow’s Hard Rock Cafe  on Thursday, November 23 - tickets: http://t-s.co/sythe and  After Show Party. It is all aimed at making the weekend an annual must do for rock music lovers of all ages.

Hamie of Heavy Pettin' Speaks: https://youtu.be/G3jXV5zN7ng

The Event

The weekend is based in the compact Troon Concert Hall which sits right on the beach overlooking the Isle of Arran and its location is definitely part of the attraction. It only has a capacity of 600 but feels like a small indoor festival with food, bars, acoustic stage and bars and the friendly atmosphere of 2016 was one of the highlights.

More than 60% of the available tickets have already been sold to throughout the UK and now Europe and from all parts of Scotland. Four of the local hotels featured in the packages have already sold out their rooms and it is expected that music fans will add more than 600 bed nights to the local economy over a normally quiet winter weekend and organisers hope that the event can reach a sell out by the end of the summer.

The event is being MC’d by the legendary rock DJ Tom Russell who is currently touring the country promoting his autobiography and preparing for the rebirth of Rock Radio in Glasgow.

“I think it’s magnificent that a town like Troon is putting itself firmly on the Rock map and if this event gets the support it’ll be great not only for rock fans from all over the UK and beyond but also for local businesses and tourism. It’ll be great fun to get down the coast again for the weekend, listen to some wonderful musicians and get that Ayrshire sea air, a stick of rock and an ice cream!”

WinterStorm will rock the seaside town of Troon between the 24th and 25th of November 2017 and the dates are already set for next year with the dates of 23rd – 24th of November 2018 already in the calendar.
