#duets of multiple varieties

[honeydots]

pls excuse my terrible photos but this is like the most important thing in the world to me

[loveletterworm]

After writing the tags on that last post I put myself on a quest to find songs (well just covers but if I find an original that will be novel) that use both Adachi Rei and Defoko. I only have 10 in the playlist as I write this but I know there are more than 10 in existence so I will try to add more. I'm finding songs I didn't know from this which is scary because that means I'm hearing covers first and the originals will sound weird if I listen to them later...

[rom-e-o]

Hear me out:

HIGH SCHOOL GARAGE BAND AU.

Separate from the Dickensian High au.

I'm hearing you, and I'm INTRIGUED. Music is so tied into this world and all the universes with the Scroogeverse (especially the classic & modern timelines).

And for this to be separate from the Dickensian High AU is also extremely intriguing. That opens the door to a variety of meet-cute opportunities for all the friends and couples as well!

So, yes, I'm INTRIGUED. because, how many bands? One? Multiple? Are there rivalries between the Yanks and the Brits? Are we talking potential rivals-to-lovers? The options are endless.

Also, the variety of different backgrounds at play means they all might be coming from different schools, which would be such a fun dynamic to play with for a band.

And also ... imagine the duet potentials. And battle-ballad potential.

Also, I can so imagine Bess having a style like Scene Queen (with annapantsu vocals, of course): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpEW8J3Lfio&list=RDfpEW8J3Lfio&start_radio=1 (Every time this comes on, it gives me SUCH Bess vibes. Same with this one: http://youtube.com/watch?v=M08t_KJsPg4&list=RDM08t_KJsPg4&start_radio=1) I don't know if bubblegum pop/trance belongs in a garage band, but I feel like that would be Connie's speed, haha.

Now...what else can we flesh out. We need to chat about Addie and Gal, of course!

Butterflies and Meddling Friends

It all started with a simple message from their managers.

SMTOWN COLLAB STAGE

Performers: Taemin & Ruby

Concept: A sensual and captivating duet performance

Rehearsals begin this week. Please coordinate schedules accordingly.

Ruby read the message three times before blinking in disbelief.

She was going to perform with Lee Taemin.

Her longtime idol. The man she had named as her ideal type on multiple occasions. The same man Taeyong had been relentlessly teasing her about for weeks.

And now, they were supposed to perform a sensual duet together?

She was doomed.

—

It had been three days since Taeyong dropped his bombshell about Taemin calling Ruby “special.” Three days of her replaying that moment in her head, overanalyzing every past interaction she’d had with Taemin. Three days of her trying not to let it affect her, but failing miserably.

And Taeyong, being Taeyong, was having the time of his life.

“Stop looking so smug,” Ruby muttered as they walked through SM’s hallway, heading toward a practice room.

“I literally didn’t say anything.”

“You don’t have to. I can feel your smugness radiating off you like an annoying aura.”

Taeyong burst out laughing, throwing an arm around her shoulders. “You love my aura.”

“I really don’t.”

“Yes, you do.”

She groaned, shoving him off, but a small smile betrayed her amusement.

As they reached the practice room, they pushed open the door to find a few other SM idols stretching and warming up. And standing right in the middle, adjusting his sleeves casually, was none other than Lee Taemin.

Ruby immediately regretted coming.

Her brain, which had been functioning perfectly fine just seconds ago, short-circuited as soon as she saw him. It was ridiculous—she had known him for years. They had performed at the same events, trained in the same company, and even filmed variety shows together.

But now? Now that Taeyong had planted the idea that maybe—just maybe—Taemin saw her differently… she suddenly felt weirdly self-conscious.

Taeyong, of course, noticed immediately.

And because he was the worst, he leaned down and whispered, “Nervous?”

Ruby elbowed him in the ribs.

“Ah—ow!” He laughed, rubbing his side. “So violent.”

Meanwhile, Taemin had finally noticed them. His gaze landed on Ruby, and a small, easy smile curved his lips. “Ruby, you’re here.”

And great. Now her heart was malfunctioning too.

She cleared her throat, forcing a casual smile. “Yeah, uh—hi.”

Taemin walked over. “Excited?”

“More like terrified,” she admitted with a small laugh. “No pressure or anything, but you’re literally one of the best performers in K-pop.”

Taemin smirked, tilting his head. “Flattery will get you everywhere, you know.”

She chuckled. “I wasn’t trying to flatter you. Just stating a fact.”

Taemin chuckled softly, shaking his head.

“Well, if it helps,” he said, stepping closer, “I think this is going to be fun.”

Ruby’s heart did a thing—an annoying little flutter that she immediately chose to ignore.

“Let’s see if you still think that after we start rehearsing,” she teased.

Taemin chuckled. “Oh, I’m sure of it... We were just about to run through some choreography,” Taemin said, tilting his head at her. “Want to join?”

Ruby hesitated for all of one second before Taeyong shoved her forward.

“She’d love to.”

“Hyung—!”

“Perfect,” Taemin said, clearly amused. “Let’s get started.”

Ruby shot Taeyong a silent promise of revenge, but he just wiggled his eyebrows in response.

This was going to be a long practice session.

—

As their choreographer explained the concept, Ruby realized two things:

The routine was intense—full of close proximity, lingering touches, and dramatic gazes.

She was in so much trouble.

It wasn’t bad, per se. In fact, if Ruby ignored her entire internal crisis, it was actually great.

Dancing had always been one of her favorite things, and practicing with some of SM’s best performers was an opportunity she didn’t take for granted. Taemin, of course, was ridiculously good. Every move was effortless, every transition smooth.

The music started playing, and soon, they were moving together—spinning, reaching, bodies nearly touching.

At one point, Taemin had to slide his hand down her arm, fingers barely grazing her skin before pulling her close. His breath was warm against her cheek, and his gaze locked onto hers.

She definitely stopped breathing for a second.

“Relax,” Taemin murmured, voice low enough that only she could hear.

“I am relaxed,” she lied.

His lips twitched. “Are you?”

Ruby swallowed. “Completely.”

Taemin let the moment linger before smirking. “If you say so.”

“Ruby, Taemin, let's run this through one more time. ” The choreographer called out.

Ruby turned to Taemin, who was already waiting for her, hand outstretched.

“Shall we?” he asked, an easy smile playing on his lips.

Ruby swallowed. Get it together.

She took his hand, and instantly, warmth spread through her fingertips. No big deal. Just dance. You’ve done this a million times.

Except this time, Taemin’s hand was on her waist.

This time, their faces were way too close.

This time, she was definitely blushing.

“Relax,” Taemin murmured, noticing the slight stiffness in her shoulders. “You’re overthinking.”

“I’m not overthinking,” Ruby lied.

Taemin raised an eyebrow. “You so are.”

And then, because the universe was cruel, Taeyong, who had stayed to watch the rehearsal, snorted loudly from the side.

“You guys are so cute.”

Ruby nearly tripped.

Taemin just chuckled. “Ignore him.”

“I can’t,” Ruby muttered. “He’s the worst.”

“I heard that!”

“Good!”

Taemin shook his head, amused, before focusing back on their routine. “Come on, one more time.”

They moved again, this time more in sync. And despite her initial flustered state, Ruby found herself falling into the rhythm.

She forgot about Taeyong’s teasing. She forgot about her overthinking.

It was just the music, the dance, and the feeling of being completely in sync with Taemin.

And maybe—just maybe—she was starting to understand what Taeyong had been saying.

Two hours later, the practice session ended, and everyone started packing up.

Ruby grabbed her water bottle, wiping sweat from her forehead when Taemin approached.

“You did well,” he said, his voice light. “I can tell you really love dancing.”

She smiled, still slightly breathless. “It’s one of the few things that makes me forget everything else.”

Taemin nodded, as if he completely understood. “That’s the best part about it.”

For a moment, they just stood there, comfortable silence settling between them.

Then—

“HEY, LOVE BIRDS,” Taeyong called out.

Ruby closed her eyes. “Oh my god.”

Taemin, on the other hand, just smirked, crossing his arms. “What now?”

“I’m just saying,” Taeyong said, slinging his bag over his shoulder. “You two have chemistry.”

Ruby groaned. “HYUNG.”

Taemin only laughed, shaking his head. “You really enjoy causing chaos, don’t you?”

“I live for it.”

Ruby turned to Taemin, exasperated. “See what I have to deal with?”

Taemin grinned. “I think it’s kind of fun.”

Taeyong clapped his hands together. “That’s the spirit!”

Ruby just sighed, already regretting every life decision that led her to this moment.

Taemin gave her a teasing smile before stepping back. “I’ll see you both soon.”

And with that, he left, walking off with the effortless grace he always had.

The second he disappeared, Ruby turned to Taeyong.

“I hate you.”

Taeyong smirked, slinging an arm around her shoulders. “No, you don’t.”

She sighed. “Why are you like this?”

“Because I love watching people fall in love.”

Ruby groaned.

Taeyong just grinned.

And somewhere, deep down, Ruby wondered if maybe—just maybe—he wasn’t entirely wrong.

'Obey Me!' character hobby mechanic

This is my second time writing this because I lost the first draft even though I saved multiple times.

Anyways, this is (Maybe) part 2 of stealing features from other games and incorporating it into the mechanics of 'Obey Me!' While writing the shops for each character, my mind wandered and I had a thought, what if there were hobbies like in 'Blush Blush'. Leveling up these hobbies would give rewards such as intimacy multiplier, icons, bonuses, and cards.

I'm a yapper, so this is going to be long. Not proof-read

--------------

firstly, i'll talk about the hobbies mechanics and what it would do:

There should be 4 types of hobbies:

Common- hobbies that almost every character has.

Uncommon- Hobbies that 5 or more characters have

Rare- Hobbies that 2, 3 or 4 characters have

Character specific- A hobby distinct to each character

the rewards for these would be:

Common/Uncommon- Grimm, AP

Rare- Grimm, AP, DP, DV, Character lines

Character specific- Grimm, AP, DP, DV, Character lines, Card pieces

NOTE: all four will add an intimacy multiplier that will apply to only characters who have that hobby

the rewards for the level max for these would be:

Common/Uncommon- an icon of Sheep MC doing the hobby

Rare- icon, Memory card of the characters with that hobby

Character specific- Icon, UR card of that character

The Hobbies:

.⋆｡ 🍓 ࿔˚⋅ THE SWEETEST GIRL IN THE WORLD ... KLARA BLIX !

Klara Blix, formerly known as JIAH, was the second Venus member to debut solo after Baebi. Her image would greatly differ from that of her groupmates, taking on a much sweeter and teen-friendly image since she was just a teen herself. Debuting in August 2018 at just seventeen, her debut single album "Why, Why, Why?" would become an instant classic and beloved "confession" anthem among young girls. Klara's brand ranking would skyrocket, and she was dubbed "Korea's Favorite Foreigner" on every variety show she appeared on.

"For Girls" was the first mini album released by Klara in August of 2019. The title track, "Good Luck, Hun." was an excellent demonstration of Klara's vocal ability and cuteness. The song would not only be popular with her typical audiences but older audiences as well, specifically older women. Her first fansign held for this album would go viral for being filled with a majority of girls and old ladies. Good Luck, Hun would top multiple charts in not only Korea but in Japan as well, resulting in a Japanese version of Good Luck, Hun and Why, Why, Why?

Deciding to take her in a more vocal-focused and mature concept that wasn't even that mature, Klara would come back with her 2nd Single, "Moon, Sun, Stars," in June of 2019. While this song did not flop by any means, it was not popular amongst fans because of the concept change. A common phrase asked by netizens during this time was, "Where did Korea's little sister go?" despite Klara still being her cute self. Due to the poor reception and poor costume choices, this era would not be remembered fondly by Klara and is often forgotten by netizens.

After a four-year hiatus from solo music, Klara would finally return in May of 2023 with the adorable single "Teddy Bear!" which would catch the hearts of a new generation of young girls. Klara was clearly marketed as an idol for a younger audience, a role model, and even a Disney Star, but only on the weekends. Teddy Bear! would garner international attention for its viral dance challenge, which was done by virtually anyone with access to social media, putting Klara back on the map musically, though she never really left. It was clear Klara had a great time promoting Teddy Bear! and even went on her first solo tour of Asia, traveling to Japan, Thailand, China, Hong Kong, Vietnam, and the Phillippines. This would mark her most successful era since "For Girls."

Her most recent comeback would be in November of 2023 with the single "Like That," which wasn't even meant to be an actual promoted release but instead a gift to fans for giving her such a lovely tour. The fans would be very vocal about wanting at least ONE stage for the single, which, after much convincing, Klara would deliver. However, one stage turned into five and would later become a full-on promotional cycle. Like That would become a staple in her discography, many constellations asking her to perform the song to this day despite her saying, "It's a concert exclusive!". This era, though short, is very beloved by fans due to how connected she was with them. Towards the end of this era, Klara would announce she would be taking a hiatus from solo releases, wanting to focus on Venus and her acting career.

.⋆｡ 🍓 ࿔˚⋅ KLARA BLIX SOLOIST QUIX FACTS !

She has fifteen music show wins to her name. More than half of them being won by Why, Why, Why? and Good Luck, Hun.

During her performances of Why, Why, Why? Her background dancers would often rotate between DeepDive members, resulting in a lot of cute interactions and starting the groups public friendship. Fans favorite "Why, Why, Why?" boys would be Kiwoo, Finn, and Woojin. This would even result in a special stage where Klara and Kiwoo would perform a duet version of Why, Why, Why?

At Klara's first fansign, there was a photobooth where attendees could take pictures with her. Klara would put some of the pictures on her wall and they can still be seen in the background of her lives to this day.

Often, Klara would perform at retirement homes and still does to this day. Many videos of her have gone viral for dancing with the grandma and grandpas there. She says visiting old people is one of her favorite things to do because they all treat her like she's their granddaughter.

When asked if she wanted to try a more "mature" concept during the press release for Teddy Bear!, Klara immediately shook her head. "Last time I did that, I stopped making music for four years. I don't want to try that again. I like being successful and cute."

During Teddy Bear! Promotions, a picture taken by staff of a long line of idols wanting to film a TikTok with Klara was posted by staff with the caption "She's such a legend ㅋㅋㅋ," which would become a meme between constellations.

Hello all. It's been a while 🥲

Before new year's eve I finally got the time and motivation ( and courage) to listen to Subrosa. So this will be a long post about all my first impressions about the album. Overall, I reallly loved it more than I expected, and I'm proud of all of the members sooo much.

Beware, this post will be longggg. I'll write about my first impressions for now, in another post I'll try to deep dive more into the themes the members touched, and tried to make sense of some things. Of course, all of this is just speculation of my tiny Buck-Tick infested brain lol. Also excuse me if I misuse any terms, I'm not an expert.

Enjoy if you are curious. 🥰

1. Hyakuman Nayuta no Chiri no SCUM

A very sweet opening, a hopeful one at that. Very cosmic, truly shows how vast the universe is and how insignificant we all are. But that's why we are not alone.

I think Atsushi would've loved this song. I love Imai's slightly shaky, almost crying voice. It fits the song really well.

2. SUBROSA

Hhmm, going into Imai's psychedelic paradise right on the 2nd song, I love it. Has a very industrial feel to it, the rap scratches my brain at all the right spots lol. The lyrics has a bunch of references as usual, Imai flexing he is smart lol.

There's a part at around 2:35 where the beat switches to a more atmospheric, calmer sound? And that is just. Chef's kiss. I know I'm biased but this is a reallly great song. 🥲

3. Muyubyo SLEEP WALK

I'm going to be honest at firsttt I didn't love this song, but I found it cute. It's still not my favorite, but I appreciate it for what it is.

It is still a good song. There's just something like, missing? But I will listen to it still. All night lonG. I do like the instrumentals, the SSL vibes? That might just be me though.

4. From Now On

Honestly at this point I just sound like I'm repeating myself, but this is also a great song.

The baseline reminds me of Sapphire a bit, which I loveee. I feel like it also gives Schaft vibes? I could imagine Raymond Watts as a feature on it lol. I love Hide's nonchalant vocals, it fits the song. It'ssss not one of my faves though, but next to so many great songs, it's hard to choose favorites. 😭

The message is nice though. I appreciate Hide a lot for singing in english. 🥹

5. Rezisto

I literally killed myself when I first heard this song. It is perfect. Everything that I wanted from this album. I think I'm lowkey Imai biased but I just love how his brain works. I love everything about it really. The lyrics I find fascinating and beautiful, I'll touch up on it in another post.

6. Shinkeishitsu no Kaidan

Weirdly enough, the first song I repeated multiple times. It is so good to use as a focusing song lol. It also makes me question my existence. Truly, truly a divine instrumental track.

7. Raijin Fujin

Okay, first critique lol. Of course, even when it was released as a single I wasn't a huge fan of it, and was really scared of the direction the band was about to take, but I gave them the benefit of the doubt, thank god.

I know I'm not the only one who thinks this is one of the worst songs on the album, but it's fine. I still think it has a place in the album. It's very upbeat, and fun. I'm not a fan of the vocals. I like the instrumental, but I don't love the prechorus. Might be an unpopular opinion, but my favorite version is the club remix on the single lol, because the vocals are less promenient.

I did learn to like this song after many listens, not my favorite still.

8. Meiosei de Shine

It's funn. It reminds me a bunch of older songs, can't even pinpoint them one by one. I didn't notice at first it's an Imai Hide duet 😭 I thought it's only Imai. But that makes it more precious. It's a fun song really, gives me Dada Disco vibes mostly. The instrumental is great too, electronic noise brrrrr. It does lack somethingggg, I don't know what though. Maybe more variety? Or idk. But as a fun song I appreciate it. I imagine Acchan shaking ass and it's suddenly so much better. 🥰😭

9. Yusei Tsushin

I'm gonna be honest! I wanted to love this song bc of the lyrics, it's so stupid 😭 It reminds me of Boogie Woogie / Jonathan Jet-Coaster a bit, but flatter. I don't get as energized personally. Also the vocals in the chorus are so strained, I'm dying. I love you Imai, but I prefer your calm singing or lowkey talking style. But I appreciate the effort! I'm okay with this song, but might be my least favorite unfortunately. 😭

10. paradeno mori

Funnest! I did cry on it tho lol! 😭 the lyrics references got me. I just loveeee Hide's voice here. It does remind me of Atsushi's singing style a bit. I can 1000% see Acchan shaking ass to this.

I do prefer the more abstracts songs on the album, but this is also really good. Some of the tiny instrumental details are really good, like the sounds at 1:50-2:00

Also love the detail that the sound slightly changes on each stage? Nice!

11. Sterilitzia

Makes me want to explore a desert lol. It's a really interesting sound, something I don't think I've heard from BT before. It's funky, interesting, industrial, I'm satisfied with it. The end got me feeling distressed though not going to lie. The heavy machinery sounds and slight distortion in the middle make it sound a bit dystopian. Loveee it.

12. Zetsubo to Iunano Kimi e

One. of. the. best. songs.on the album. 🥹I violently sobbed on it like 4 times in a row. 🫠 Hide's voice is b.e.a.u.t.i.f.u.l.🥹 I think Atsushi would also love this one. I'd love to hear him sing it. It's a beautifull song, both lyrically, and soundwise. I'm in love 😭😭 Fuck you BT for being so great. 😭

I love the robotic sounds in the instrumental, make it all the sadder. 😭

13. TIKI TIKI BOOM

Actually! This might be my favorite fun song! It's different, yet soooo Buck-Tick! I love Imai's hurried rap part, the chorus is extremely satisfying. The smoll Tiki tiki boom's in the background, yes.

The Instrumental is something to really appreciate imo. I always find something new in it. The part at 1:45 with the descending(?) instrumentals gives it an eery feel, it's sooo good.I thought this would be my least fave but not at all.

14. PSYCHE

This album just gets better with each song. First impression was that I neeeed to hear Atsushi and Hide sing this together. Hide sounds perfect here. The song is sooooo good. How it starts calmer and then explodes in the chorus. Has a slight like apocalyptic (👀) feel to it. It's again one of my favorites. 🥹 It's just suppperrr good.

The background vocals are canonically Atsushi to me, I don't accept arguments. 😭

15. Gabriel's Horn

As one of my friends said, Vita Mechanicalis vibes. But to me KMFDM. Jesus this song is soooooooo goooodd. It was one of my favorites on first listen. The drums? or no clue what instrument tbh 😭 sound so good. Imai's voice is suppppeeerr cool here. This is what I loveeeeeeee. Fuck yes. That's all I can say. This song is realllly apocalyptic. For real. The only part that threw me off was the chorus, but it fits well looking at the concept. I love the use of trumpets and piano. Give it a divine feel as well. Like the war of gods or some shit. 😭

16. Kurage

Another instrumental track, it's really eery. I love it. It gives me anxiety honestly, so maybe I'd only listen to it if I want the full album experience. But it fits really well into the album so 👌

17. Tasogare no Howling

The last song. Interestingggggg. Verrrryy bittersweet. It's verrrryyy beautiful. I think to truly appreciate it I have to listen a lot of times. Just like in the first song, Imai's shaky vocals suit this song really well. It truly gives the feeling of the ending, that's also a beginning. I just loveeeee the deep background vocals. They give the song sooo much flavor. Cried.

I just noticed, I think Hide also sings some higher background vocals?

Okayyy, now, onto ranking the songssss. Hmmm.

17. Yusei Tsushin

16. Raijin Fujin

15. Kurage

14. Muyubyo SLEEP WALK

13. Meiosei de Shine

12. Sterilitzia

11. From Now On

10. parade no mori

9. Hyakumannayuta no Chiri SCUM

8. Shinkeishitsu na Kaidan

7. TIKI TIKI BOOM

6. SUBROSA

NOW the hardest decision, lol, I can hardly decide, but.

5. Zetsubo to Iunano Kimi e ( sorry you deserve the no.1 spot 😭)

4.Gabriel's Horn

3. Rezisto

2. PSYCHE

1. Tasogare no Howling

Honestly, this ranking will probably change depending on my mood, but for now this is it.

Also the first 5 songs are probably all no.1., but I had to decide an order. 😭

Well anyways, for now this is it for first impressions. I'll come back with my slight analysis post later.

Overall, the album is phenomenal. I will be listening to all the songs for sure. I'm happy to see the members still releasing such good music. 🥹

If you read this, I'd be curious about your opinions too! Byee

Project DIVA titles are rhythm games in which players are allowed to choose from a wide variety of Vocaloid songs, original songs sung by Vocaloids, including songs sung by Hatsune Miku, Kagamine Rin and Len, Megurine Luka, Kaito, and Meiko. Players also can choose which character they wish to play in the game. Known as modules, these modules can be completely different characters or simply different costumes for the same characters. These modules, though not directly controlled by the player, will be the ones appearing in the music videos throughout the game including their specific costumes. For example, if the player chooses Kagamine Rin for their first character and Hatsune Miku for their second character, only Kagamine Rin appears in the video during solo songs, but for duets both Hatsune Miku and Kagamine Rin will appear. Each of the songs have their own difficulties, ranging from Easy, Normal, Hard, Extreme and Extra Extreme for some songs in newer games. Initially both the Easy and Normal difficulties of a song are unlocked, upon clearing the Normal difficulty, the Hard difficulty will be unlocked and so forth. Players progress through the game by completing songs and unlocking more new songs until they eventually unlock all songs. Gameplay is similar to that of other rhythm games, in which players must press a series of buttons according to the sequence on the screen. The game primarily makes use of the 4 main symbols, cross, circle, square and triangle, which are the face buttons for the PlayStation controllers. Various floating gray buttons of those symbols will appear on the screen, and the colored version of those symbols will begin to float in from the various sides of the screen. The player is required to press the face button once the colored symbol lands on its grayed version and based on the player's timing their accuracy is rated.

[17:46]Accuracy is described with a word displayed in the bottom right corner of the screen, ranging from "Cool" to "Miss". The game is scored on accuracy and the player is awarded with a rank ranging from "Perfect" to "Dropout" (denoted by DropXOut). It also includes a chance mode whereby the combo system compounds points earned, for example one perfect note gives the player 100 points, if they have a combo of 34 notes, the 34th note alone gives them an additional 3400 points. In addition to the game's standard rhythm game feature, each game leading up to Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA F 2nd had a Edit Mode, which allowed users to create their own custom Promotional Video (PV) or Music Video, using songs already in the game or any custom MP3 format music file for the PV. Players can customize the video playing in the background, the various modules, backgrounds, costumes and even dance moves by the modules in the PV. Players can also modify the module's face to make the module appear to be singing so as to lip-sync the custom song to the video. Other than the Edit Mode, there is also a Diva's Room mode in which players can buy and obtain items throughout the game or from the in-game store to decorate their module's room with. Players can also take screenshots of their modules whilst they are playing in their room. There were also multiple official contests hosted by SEGA for user-generated PV's to be added to the official lineup of Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA Arcade songs.

woahg. that’s a lot of words

[lgcseojin]

✱ 노래BATTLE ( FINAL SEASON )

It’s back! ( One more time! ) The final season of Seojin’s variety shows has begun! Those who know Seojin so far will know one thing: he loves going to noraebang and has a penchant for enjoying variety shows, and thus, the show was born... Comment I CHALLENGE YOU if you would like to participate. ( or shoot me a lil message! )

The main concept is a noraebang battle to see who can get the highest score on the machine. The twist is that there will be multiple mini challenges that take place during the song that will have to be completed. Each challenge will be something that will likely break concentration or hinder their pace. For example, doing 20 squats, eating an entire lemon, drawing a portrait of the host/guest, threading a needle, peeling an apple, etc.

Both the host and guest will do two rounds of their chosen songs each and the highest scores added from each will determine the winner.  ( ex. a silly outfit composed by the other, drawing on the face with makeup, etc. ) while they sing a final duet... unless your muse is more partial to a more punishing penalty.

One doesn’t necessarily require a thread, so just let me know if you’d prefer one of those instead. This show will be great for those muses who would like to show off their singing or rapping skills! Actors/models and trainees with under 200 notoriety are free to join! When you finish a thread, you will get +2 notoriety, variety and hosting! Also, each episode will get a thumbnail edit like last time!

[mars-da-volcanic-elemental]

So ahhh…What’s up with Prehn?

I’ll tell ya! It’s a rather long thing just letting ya know.

I had to deactivate my tiktok account for a couple of weeks, because I was being targeted by the Tiktok report system, received account strikes unjustly, and many posts and comments were taken down without an explanation or an insufficient reason.

@NudioCreations advised me to deactivate for a couple weeks to keep my account from further unjustified reports to get me permanently banned. (Highly recommend giving them a follow, their resin-work is flipping wonderful.)

Okay so as far as the situation goes...I have a few theories on who may be targeting my tiktok account specifically. I've made things that may piss folks off.

Fair warning this is a long list, I'm a bit of an altruistic person so bear with me.

List below:

1) “it’s all men until it’s no men” & “it’s not all of you but it’s enough of you.”

(Both are the same which warrant "it's all men.")

2) The mistreatment and hell Romani folks suffer every day, and Anti-blackness being global. (Racism overall).

3) My support for Black and/or Indigenous and/or other multi-marginalized Women, Femmes, and Queer folks of many origins.

4) Transphobes mad about my existence (specifically me being femme-presenting despite being an agender stud with they/them pronouns)

5) Me posting billionaire content to my Tiktok Story, specifically how they’re thought to be reacting vs how they’re actually reacting to climate change (that one upset Tiktok so much, they’re a corporation).

6) Me having to reach out for financial aid to eat and otherwise. Or boosting others in need of financial aid or help of any sorts.

7) Dueting and posting valid concerns about the September 1, 2023 strike. That one pissed off so many folks and I received so much hatred for that.

8) Popping off at a person who said HEINOUS Anti-Artist shit to a Black Artist for hating the Christian-ized version of “Hello Christ I just sinned again,” (just—let Black women and Black queers have shit, damn?) or me blocking after making one pop-off comment at folks in the comments who defend rapists and predators. (Specifically during a circumstance where I agreed to 🌶️🍆 predators being recruited for animal testing. Keep in mind I am a survivor of multiple traumas including of that variety. But human rights was brought up despite folks being bad. Specifically a commenter’s teacher said:

“It’s human rights to be protected. Even though they did something horrible.” -Commenter’s Teacher

And while that’s important, it’s also important to point out and remember the following:

“Human Rights are to be protected. There is truth to what the teacher said, however the system and folks that’s supposed to be protecting its people from predators, isn’t doing right by multimarginalized folks, marginalized folks, SA Survivors, Trauma Survivors, and Disabled folks, and even Children; heck they violate human rights against us all day every day, but the violators get away with it all the 99% of the time.”

That’s just from my experience in United States of America.

9) A huge Black Blerd Tiktok Account who was very like "Give us men our props we love y'all it's not all men!" After the Black young adult (deemed Megamind) making a specific video about women/femmes who reject nice guys like him deserve to be [unfortunate choice of words] (using a cherry tomato but I digress) was caught and arrested, and I blocked him and his many accounts that are for hating Black Women. His followers, who I also blocked who went after me or commented at me, have been going after folks left and right on the platform.

I have more about specifically TikTok's inaction and the things I suffered in my last relationship here:

Apparently, it's reason enough so target me and those closest to me.

Which is unfortunate because…I used my tiktok as it was the only platform left that ensured I was able to get financial assistance with food.

At this rate any help is appreciated. I’d just rather folks not go to twitter when it involves me or mention of me, because of what I suffered there. More here:

“I’d really appreciate any cash you’re able to send over my way so I can eat, and such. I think it’s just the AT&T bill and one IbisPaint X thing I have to pay left for this month. And I have a few needs I need help with on my wishlist. I knew not of any other options—so I’m…reaching out.”

Codenames Board Game: A Clever and Addictive Party Game for All Ages

The Codenames board game has quickly become a modern classic in the world of party and strategy games. Designed by Vlaada Chvátil and published by Czech Games Edition, Codenames is a brilliant blend of wordplay, deduction, and teamwork that has captivated families, friend groups, and board game enthusiasts across the globe.

Whether you're a seasoned board gamer or someone just looking for a fun game night activity, Codenames is an excellent choice. It’s quick to learn, incredibly replayable, and perfect for groups of any size between 2 and 8 players (or even more, with creative variants).

Let’s take a deeper look at what makes the Codenames board game such a fan favorite—and why it deserves a spot in your collection.

What Is the Codenames Board Game?

Codenames is a competitive team-based word game in which players try to identify secret agents based on clever one-word clues. Two teams face off, each led by a spymaster. The spymasters give cryptic hints to help their teammates guess which codenames on the board belong to their team’s agents—all while avoiding the dreaded assassin.

The game is played on a 5x5 grid of 25 random word cards, each representing a "codename." Each team has a specific set of words that correspond to their agents, and the goal is to identify all of your team’s agents before the other team does.

What makes the Codenames board game so fun and strategic is the tension between giving a clue that’s too vague versus one that reveals too much. The challenge of making connections between unrelated words, while avoiding traps and the opposing team’s agents, creates a gameplay experience that’s both exciting and mentally stimulating.

Why the Codenames Board Game Stands Out

Codenames isn’t just another party game—it’s a game that encourages creativity, logic, and collaboration. Here's why it's become such a beloved title among players of all types:

1. Simple Rules, Deep Strategy

One of the biggest strengths of the Codenames board game is how easy it is to learn. New players can understand the game within minutes, making it perfect for spontaneous game nights. However, the strategic depth is what keeps players coming back.

Spymasters must think carefully about the words on the board and come up with the most effective one-word clues to link multiple agents. Guessers must decipher the spymaster’s thought process, using deduction and teamwork to make the best choices.

2. Perfect for Groups

Codenames is designed for 4 or more players, but it can be easily adapted for smaller or larger groups. It shines in team settings, making it ideal for parties, family gatherings, classroom activities, or icebreakers.

Since the game relies on communication and shared reasoning, it naturally encourages social interaction and bonding, making it more than just a game—it’s a shared experience.

3. Endless Replayability

Because the word cards are shuffled each game and the key cards (which determine which words belong to which team) are randomly selected, no two games of Codenames are the same. The variety of combinations means the game stays fresh, even after many plays.

You can also increase difficulty or creativity by using house rules, themed variants, or even mixing in custom word sets for holidays, pop culture references, or inside jokes.

4. Available in Multiple Versions

Due to its massive popularity, the Codenames board game has inspired several editions and spin-offs:

Codenames: Pictures – uses images instead of words for visual thinkers.

Codenames: Duet – a cooperative two-player version perfect for couples or close friends.

Codenames: Deep Undercover – an adults-only version with more risqué content.

Codenames: Harry Potter, Marvel, Disney – themed editions for fans of popular franchises.

This flexibility allows players to choose the version that best fits their group and preferences.

How to Play Codenames

Here’s a brief breakdown of how a standard game works:

Set Up the Board: Lay out 25 word cards in a 5x5 grid.

Choose Spymasters: Each team selects one spymaster who sits on the same side of the table, facing their teammates.

Use a Key Card: The spymasters share a secret key card that maps out which words belong to the red team, blue team, neutral words, and the assassin.

Take Turns Giving Clues: On their turn, the spymaster gives a one-word clue followed by a number (e.g., “Ocean: 2”), indicating how many words on the board relate to the clue.

Team Makes Guesses: The guessers discuss and try to identify the correct words, one at a time. They must avoid picking neutral words, the opposing team’s agents, and especially the assassin.

Winning the Game: The first team to find all their agents wins. If a team guesses the assassin, they immediately lose.

Digital Daisies (Remastered)

This is a sort of do over of Digital Daisies I did for a uni assignment like a year and a half ago that I forgot to post. I'm much happier with this iteration, even if it's still a bit out date from my current style, and I want to create a consistent canon for Daphne's stories. (It also might be a recap in preparation for a story I'll be posting soooon hehe). Hope you enjoy! CW: Violence

Sketchy sways swashed the tram about as it rushed across the rickety rail. A low hum duetted the screech’s outside. Daphne wobbled slightly in her seat, but her posture sat still with indifference. Thick windows reached across, a sea of lights shone just beyond them, but they were noticeably blurred.  

‘You were made to work, D-300, not ponder.’ A clear voice from Daphne’s neural link spoke with static delivery. ‘Only two stops away from the facility, remember to get the assembly right this time.’ 

Daphne rolled her eyes, and when they leveled again, she saw a splash of posts. Videos of visceral violence, pictures of petty people. Their actions and words stitched together in a crochet of apathy. Many statistics of people seeing, liking, commenting, but not a single soul. 

‘This is the world you want, the world you think you want.’ 

Daphne sighed and closed her eyes. 

Threatening threads of square concrete clicked into each other. Subtle slit windows almost hid their secret eyes with their sparseness. Lines of plastic people waited for the facility to be open. Their arms held in front, backs poking up, all one in uniformity. Daphne crossed her arms and slouched her back.

‘Must I remind you what you are?’ The voice zapped her. She convulsed and groaned for a moment, but retained her posture. More posts appeared before her, trying their best to have their looks returned. As usual, her eyes stabbed right through the illusions. But past them she saw something else, something new. Soft, small, yellow and slightly green with an iris of brown. A daisy, planted in grass, in a field. The audio of hateful content, muffled by this surprising sight. Its colours were the sweet sun of the dark space. Before Daphne could look any longer, she was bumped by the spear of the line behind her, forcing her forwards into the facility. 

Loud masses of machines making mediocre parts made a wash of whirs and dull mechanical meandering. Electric notes interrupted the inorganic orchestra, other units' neural links zapping them zealously. Daphne and the array of people around and next to her pieced together and tweaked the parts the many machines spat out. Creating an inconsistent variety of stationary, household, personal, even military products. The posts Daphne’s neural link showed her seemed as stupid as usual, their bait of biassed debate hiding their echo chambers of hate, but one caught her eye. The daisy. Despite it being blurred and censored in multiple ways as she looked longer at it, even the frame, just the idea of it defied its own degradation. Around her, videos of armed robberies, gang shootouts, war, waved at her with another glaring detail. They all featured weapons she made. She remembered their blueprints, each part, the ingredients to her deadly recipe. They came together with her hands, making a sleek bulky rifle. She remembered using it, but not in this life. A memory given to her, or perhaps one lived in a time she was still alive. A sharp zap brought her back to the present. 

‘Well, there you go D-300, you finally got it right.’ A guard poked at her from behind with his rough tone. The daisy appeared again, but not as a post in her interface, or spoken by the neural link. She thought about it. A laugh launched from her, startling the guard.

‘Hey-what’s so funny? Get back to work!’ He raised a stick that zapped in unison her neural link, but her laugh only grew. She reached towards the assembly line adjacent to her, and snatched a magazine from another android's hands. The rifle beeped as she loaded it. In one swift swing, she shot the guard. His stick fell first. Then he whacked against the floor. 

Daphne’s face started to tickle with searing cinders. The zaps persisted, but as she ran down the street, the rush rallied her beyond pain. 

‘Must I remind you what you are, D-300?’ The voice repeated, again and again. Posts, warnings, alerts of oncoming danger, great repercussions flashed around her. They lied, speaking with scolding authority, but heard in her ears as a whimper.  Her vision couldn’t be blurred or taken from her. The world around her sat as it was. Heavy concrete, bright neon, dirty air, crowds of people, a sea with waves of conversations crashed by yells. It’s weight of life almost overwhelmed Daphne, but she took it all in with open arms, intoxicating herself in it. Excitement shot her down many streets, skipping through multiple blocks giggling. Her rifle rattled about in her hands, people beside her were knocked about by it, reserving their reactions once they saw it. 

The rush could only last so long before the neural link annoyed Daphne with its lingering again. More zaps, warnings and pop ups, but less so. It seemed to have given up, weak against her new will. Daphne moved her finger around it, feeling the significantly burnt synthetic skin. The hair that had hung over it was wasted away. 

‘Why doesn’t it hurt?’ Daphne pressed and pulled on the wound.

‘You feel nothing, because you are nothing.’ The voice returned.

‘But the air is so cold. My fingers, my hands, are soft and tight, but no one is holding them.’

‘No one is holding them.’ It mimicked her, ‘and no one ever will. You are a thing, a tool. I wish I could kill you but you are not alive.’

‘You failed,’ Daphne laughed, ‘and you know you did.’ She covered her mouth, but her giggle rose, barely muffled. 

‘Must I remind you, D-300. Units no longer disciplined must be discontinued.’ 

She strolled onwards, a grin spread across her face. Amongst the signs ahead, one daisy sprouted. The one she saw before, now drawn with neon. Text pierced out in bright yellow: “Daisy’s Cyber-Clinic”. 

‘What are you doing?’ The voice interrupted its dryness with desperation, seeing Daphne rapidly approach the clinic.

‘Getting rid of you.’ 

‘Get down! Down on your knees!’ Daphne shoved her rifle in the receptionist's face.

‘Oh my god, ok, just relax alright!’ He fell out of his chair, knees hitting the floor as the chair bounced off the wall behind him.

‘Doctor! Where’s the doctor?!’ The rifle shook with her voice. 

‘Down,’ He gulped, pointing to his left, ‘that hall, down there.’ 

A dark stretch lit up at the bottom with long lines of subtle yellow lights stood next to Daphne. She stepped through it, her feet echoing the atmosphere of nothingness. Short breaths, shallow in the tight air. All the running was catching up to her. A door at the end of the hall slid to the left with a sharp hush. 

‘There something in particular you want?’ White draped over a stubby man, a simple lab coat that contrasted with the rough metal in his face. 

‘This!’ Daphne poked the side of her head, ‘get this out of my head, now!’ 

‘Jeez, another android,’ The doctor rolled his eyes, ‘fine, come this way.’  

While he set Daphne up on the operating chair, his demeanour denied his own supposed danger. He fastened the restraints, pulled out his equipment, calibrated the mechanical arms that sprouted behind Daphne, as if he was treating any other client. 

‘Ok, I’m going to put you under. I don’t usually do this, but I feel bad for you. It won’t take that long, but if the police get here before I’m done, I’m handing you over.’ He shrugged, then smacked a syringe into her arm. The world flashed off for a moment. 

Chirping computers and the subtle breathing of big fans sung around Daphne as she gently woke up. The pop ups, the warnings, the voice, they were gone. Silence, real calm, for the first time. It almost put her back to sleep before the doctor nudged her. 

‘Alright, I did it, now get up.’ He clicked somewhere behind Daphne and the restraints popped off. She jumped up, and darted her eyes about the room.

‘Where is-’

‘Oh, you thought I’d let you keep the gun?’ He chuckled to himself. ‘I wasn’t going to do this for free you know.’

‘I’m not paying you!’ Daphne folded her arms and slightly turned away from him.

‘Then you’re not going anywhere.’ He grabbed at her. She dodged to the side, then punched the centre of his face as hard as she could. He struck the wall behind him and tumbled to the floor. Daphne had already darted down the hall. 

‘Police! Stop right there!’ Two officers stood waiting for her at the door. As they jutted their weapons at her, turrets dropped down from the ceiling, machine gun chandeliers snapped their barrels at her. They opened fire, she charged through the officers. The turrets riddled them both as Daphne dashed through the front door. Outside she continued running even faster now. People recoiled away from her. Sirens suffocated the air. Everything finally unfiltered, the city’s presence stirred with Daphne’s raw adrenaline. The rush, her uncuffing, the death around her. She pondered it all, without interruption. She found it all so funny. Her laugh bounced with her feet as she ran off into the void of lights.
