era notes.

the group first released a music video for START OF A DRAMA, which reached over SIXTY MILLION views in the first 24 hours, overthrowing their debut song(s), SHUT IT DOWN and HOWEVER YOU WANT IT, which received FIFTY MILLION.

two weeks later, they released an mv for BREAKING NEWS, which reached almost FIFTY-FIVE MILLION views. the second song was promoted only briefly on the music shows, yet managed to receive five wins!

now you'd think that fans were satisfied with this comeback, which most were, but there were a lot of arguments on twitter and tiktok about the line distribution for both SOAD and BREAKING NEWS. fans trended hashtags "#LETSAGESING" and "#WHEREISMEW" because they had fewer lines in each promoted song.

after the whole album was released, it was obvious that some of the songs sounded a little familiar, and that is because while performing at MMA this year, short instrumentals would be played between their songs as transitions.

speaking of MMA, the girls brought home a couple of awards. they received a win for BEST FEMALE GROUP, GLOBAL ARTIST and TOP 10 ARTISTS.

the members were credited for producing and writing the lyrics for this album, and each member said they made their solo song from scratch.

CRYSTYLE got a little bit into what some people would say a scandal, mainly due to their HEADLINES version of the album, where you'd get a popular scandal or rumour with the members' photocard made to look like a sticker*. while netizens said that was unprofessional and prone to shoo away new fans, international fans praised them for keeping to the album's concept and making the fans buy the limited version of the album more.

the era itself was a questionable one because as much as fans liked the visuals and the songs, it was noticeable the album was mainly produced by PENROSE's LAZY BOY, who's quite a controversial producer in the music industry for seemingly copying other producers. as of now, fans haven't managed to find the original songs from any of the songs, meaning that for the first time ever, LAZY BOY produced the songs from scratch.

era notes.

one of the most awaited comebacks of 2023! fans were truly on their toes when the company announced THE QUEENS OF HORROR were coming back!

the music video received a lot of positive reactions, and it seemed as if the fans couldn’t believe RAEVIL was back in the music industry because they managed to rack up almost 84 MILLION VIEWS in the first 24 hours upon the release –– even the group’s mv teaser racked quite a lot of views, but it was mostly because NEMESIS were so excited to see RAEVIL again!

it’s obvious that this album connects to their previous mini ; HIDE N SEEK : THE BEGINNING STAGES, in both the album title and the scenes shown in the music video. both videos feature the girls in a hotel, with a slight connection to two of the most famous horror movies of all time – THE SHINNING and US.

in MARIE’s words, “ we’re all huge fans [ of THE SHINNING and US ], and we somehow wanted to corporate the vibes of the movies in our music video, ” she continues, saying that it was a unanimous decision as everyone agreed as soon as they heard the idea from their producer. looks like everyone was on the same page and shared the same brain cells when even their producer came up with the same thing they were thinking of!

some fans felt like raevil was going soft, due to releasing a song that was not in their usual style, yet they still felt satisfied with how the group promoted the title song. some even dared to say that they loved the b-side, DARKNESS OVER MIND, more than the title song. they were quickly forgotten by the other fans.

NEMESIS were surprisingly calm on twitter during this era– usually, they like fighting with fandoms ( they’re provoked first, though ) of other artists who promote at the same time as RAEVIL. it seems that the return of their idols finally calmed them and made them focus only on them.

RAEVIL received EIGHT music show wins for FOREVER MINE and an additional TWO for DARKNESS OVER MIND. both songs managed to stay on billboard charts for almost SEVEN weeks, peaking at 6th and 11th place.

FOUR OUT OF SEVEN members participated in producing and choreographing for this album. MARIE co-produced FOREVER MINE and ALONE, ALONE, JUNKO choreographed FOREVER MINE with FRENI and YAOYAO wrote rap parts in most songs.

this was truly the year of RAEVIL, despite being silent for half of it! fans can’t help but patiently wait for MAMA 2023 in hopes that RAEVIL will be nominated ( and hopefully win ) like they do every year since their debut!

Perfect Match - 9

Warning: Normally I don't have violence in my stories, but this is Mafia based fiction. This chapter has knife torture.

BACK OFF OR EVERYONE YOU LOVE WILL SUFFER

You stare at the note. Upon hearing the door open, "Did you see them?"

Billy locks up and pulls you into his arms, moving you away from the box & towards the kitchen, "I told you to stay upstairs."

Pulling away to look up at him, "Did you see them?"

Rubbing his hands up and down your back, "No, it was the concierge. He said it was left on the delivery desk in the lobby so he brought it up." He sits you on the kitchen stool as he gathers a garbage bag & gloves. He bags up the box & note & leaves it by the door.

"Should I call grandfather? He can get his men to pick it up and look it over."

"So can I," sounding a little offended. "Let my guys examine it. I don't want to go to your family empty handed. I need to prove I can take care of you."

Cradling his face in your hands, "Of course. I didn't mean to imply otherwise. It's a habit to go to my grandfather. I didn't mean to offend you." You place a gentle kiss on his lips, "You're right. We're a team now. We can handle this."

"I should have planned this better. We need a security detail in place. It's obvious that our enemies are coming out of the woodwork sooner than I expected."

"Our engagement was only officially announced last night."

"Game on, Angel."

*****

Bill works fast. He had his people tapping into the buildings security cameras & cameras in businesses around the building looking for the guy who dropped off the box. In no time at all, they sent him an image of the guy. You didn't find him familiar, but you were going to take it to grandfather. Bill already distributed it to his contacts.

He had someone pick up the box but there were no prints & it was a human heart. These guys aren't playing around. That made Billy even more pissed off.

Bill's anger was nothing compared to grandfather's. He was going to give himself an aneurysm. It took you a while to calm him down. He had the pic of the delivery guy sent out to his men. He said he'll be in contact when they got any news or apprehended the guy. "Piccola, there's the townhouse on East 64th. You should make it your home. You'll need a residence."

"We're looking, nonno."

"No, for your wedding. Take the townhouse. It's a gift." He kisses you on both cheeks and shakes Bill's hand. "You'll need to redecorate & have your men set up security, but it's good. A solid base of operations and it's right in the city. It's large, 7 bedrooms to fill with great-grandbabies," he teases.

"Nonno, stop."

"You need to think about pushing the wedding up. They think to stop this before the switch in power is made. If the wedding is soon it gives them less time to plan."

"We'll think about it."

"Two months," sitting behind his desk. "Set a date for early October."

"I can't plan a wedding in 2 months! The venue needs to be booked..."

Waving away my arguments with a wave of his hand, "Tell me where you want your wedding and I'll make it happen."

By the time you left grandfather's place you were set to get married at The Glasshouse in Hell's Kitchen and had a 6 story townhouse.

*****

Billy was stretched out on the couch with you draped over him. Enjoying the time you have left at Bill's loft. Bill's been busy safeguarding the new townhouse with state of the art security. Your chin resting on you hand placed over his beating heart, Bill's fingers running through you hair, massaging your scalp, you release a sigh. Bill gives you a soft smile. You peek up at him, "Are you ok with all this? I know its moving much quicker than you had thought." Bill has lived his life in the shadows. Not being seen. This is a huge change for him. He'll be the front man for the America Family. As father was for Italy. You felt guilty for turning his life upside down.

Bill shrugs and continues to play with your hair. "It makes you mine that much sooner."

"I'm already yours." Pushing up against his chest, to shift forward for a kiss. "Nonno can be overbearing. If you want, I can tell him we need more time."

Bill sits up, leaning back against the armrest, so you get up to kneel between his legs. "Are you getting cold feet? Second thoughts?"

You shake your head, "Absolutely not." The confidence in which you answered him, has him breaking out into a large smile. He leans forward to kiss you which you eagerly return. You tug on his bottom lip with your teeth and he opens to you while fisting your hair in his hands. With every kiss this man claims a little more if your heart.

You both are rudely interupted by his phone. You break apart with a pout. Bill reaches over to see who's calling and he set you aside. "It's your grandfather." You're surprised he's calling Bill and not you. "Russo....Yes, sir. I'll take care of it. Send me the location." Billy's eyes dart to you and he gives you a smile. "She's right here. I highly doubt she'll let me leave her behind....Yes, sir." Billy disconnects.

"What?"

"He's got the delivery guy." Getting up off the couch. You give him a surprised look. Its only been 2 days. "They're holding him for us," looking down at his phone when a message comes through. "You know this place?"

Tilting his phone towards you & you nod, "It the warehouse the Family goes to, to... question people."

Billy silently nods and makes a call. "Micro, I need you to gain access to the security cameras at this location. I just sent you the coordinates. We found the delivery guy but I don't want any surveillance showing Y/N and I were there. I don't want to be ambushed either. Good. Good."

*****

You reach the warehouse & you're admitted by one of your father's men, "This is no place for you, little girl."

Bill steps up to him, making him back away, "And who are you to give her orders? Hmmm? Mind your fucking manners."

You breeze pass them & Bill follows you. You lead him to the back room. You've been here a dozen times with your grandfather & his men. This was your school room. You learned to get used to the feel of a knife slicing through flesh. The sight & smell of blood. Turning a deaf ear to crying & screaming. Getting used to the smell of vomit, piss & shit. You learned just how much torture the human body can take before it shuts down.

"This him?" Him, being the crackhead stripped down to his dirty tighty-whiteys tied to a chair. Looks like grandfather's men already worked him over a bit. You walk up to him, "What's your name?"

He doesn't answer, but spits at you. You wipe your cheek with the sleeve of your shirt as Bill's fist connect with his nose. You hear the satisfying crunch of bone. He screams & tries to break through his restraints. "Let's try this again." Bill slaps him to gain his attention, "What's your name?" Bill's voice is barely above a whisper but it's commanding & steely. You want to smile at how sexy he sounds, but it's not the time or place.

"Nick!" He yells back, blood streaming out of his nose.

You walk in front of him, "Tsk. Was that so hard? Who gave you that box, Nick?"

"I...I don't...know." His eye widen as you take out one of your knives. "I don't know!!!"

"Nicky, I don't believe you. You were on camera. I saw YOU." You draw the blade slowly down the back of his arm and he groans & cries. "Who hired you?" Except for his sobs, he's silent. You do a matching slice down his other arm and he yells. Bill digs through Nick's discarded clothes. He finds his baggie of meth & tosses it to you. Showing him his drugs, "If you tell me what I want to know, you can go on your merry way. I'm sure a fix would make you feel so much better right now." Gently brushing his dirty oily hair off his forehead. "Wouldn't it?"

"I don't knoowww."

Bill stalks over, "Wrong answer," and plunges his own knife into Nick's thigh. Bill wraps his hand around your arm & pulls you back while Nick screams & thrashes around in his chair, with the blade imbedded in his thigh. "Who the fuck hired you?" Bill twists the knife, spreading the wound open when he didn't get an answer quick enough.

"Fontana! Mike Fontana!"

You look over at Billy and you notice a quick narrowing of his eyes as the pulls out the knife. He stands back silent.

You know something is up, but you can discuss it later with him. "Let him go." You nod at the men, leaving with Bill."

Once you're in the car driving away. "Who's Fontana?" Bill's silent, you can tell he's thinking things through. "Bill?"

"Fontana was the guy your father hired me to kill. Mike is his son."

Son of a bitch! What has your dad gotten you in to??

CUPID IS DUMB is a pre-released single of STUPID CUPID’s upcoming 9th mini album. the song was released on june 25th, three weeks before the mini album, giving the group enough time to promote the single. CUPID IS DUMB is a song that combines minimal disco beats and retro-style melodies based on funky baselines and make echo to the group’s unique sound.

the single contains of CUPID IS DUMB, as well as the english version of the song, which trended for the whole three weeks of promotion and for the next few months after the mini album was released. CUPID IS DUMB is by far the only single where every group member contributed in some parts. TOMIE and VIVA made the song's choreography, AIMEE and JEANNE wrote the lyrics while CHESKA produced it with the help of GLOOMY, GLASSHOUSE’s most famous producer.

despite the song being a b-side, CUPID IS DUMB reached a new high for STUPID CUPID. not only did the song trend on social media constantly, but it was also number one on the billboard charts since the moment it dropped out. CUPID IS DUMB can be officially named as the best and most famous track released by STUPID CUPID since their debut back in 2017.

CUPID IS DUMB

CUPID IS DUMB ( ENGLISH VER. )

era notes.

MIGHTY DEVIL’s ( and GLASSHOUSE’s ) princesses! the song fits their concept so well + the outfits used during the promotions were very beautiful that fans couldn’t help but talk about it on twitter, managing to trend “THEY’RE SO BEAUTIFUL” on the app!!

as for CUPID IS DUMB, it blew up on the internet so much, that even people who were not kpop fans were vibing to the song and posting dance challenges on tiktok with the song featured on it.

the music video reached almost 90 MILLION VIEWS in the first 24 hours, which was so surprising that even the members posted on their instagram stories how grateful they felt and that they never imagined getting that much attention for a pre-released single! you could see how truly happy they are that CUPID IS DUMB is so loved by everyone.

this era managed to break all records STUPID CUPID had from their previous albums! despite being a b-side CUPID IS DUMB received multiple PAKs and the number continues to grow as each day goes by. a day before the mini album dropped, STUPID CUPID received well over 300 PAKs just for the b-side alone!

this was such a great beginning of the era and the girls couldn’t be more excited! the b-side received EIGHT music show wins during the time of the promotions!

most of their encore videos were praised by knetz for sounding as good as they did in the studio version, as well as the overall vibes of the song! it really made the girls happy, especially since they took part in making the song and the choreography!

the line distribution was somewhat fair. AIMEE and JEANNE had fewer rap lines, barely any in the english version, but it’s VIVA that surprised everyone with having the most lines given to her! the members explained that VIVA fit the song the best in their opinion, therefore agreeing they should give the youngest member more chance to show off her beautiful voice and shine during this era!

It was originally called 'Glasshouse', then 'Trial in the Trenches', and now it looks like it's called 'The Fallow Few'.

I think it's due this year, and it's maybe one of the reasons we're hearing a bit more from Bradley on social media, although that's just my thought.

It's worth following the director Josh Rappaport and actor Luke Brandon Field on Instagram as they will sometimes post little bits of info and BTS images 😊

whatever happened to that war movie bradley james was supposed to be in?? there was a trailer that came out like a year or two ago which had bradley acting for his life in it and i never heard anything else about it? did i imagine it??

CEREBRUM - Review

DISTRIBUTOR: Glasshouse Distribution.

SYNOPSIS: In order for Tom to make ends meet he returns to his childhood home in Texas and signs on as a test subject at his father’s, Kirk, home-based lab. Along with his father’s assistant Bhuvanesh, Kirk is attempting to finalize a technology that will allow him to backup the human brain. When Tom commits a crime he cannot remember, he risks his own sanity to reveal the truth and finish what his father began with the help of his childhood friend Chloe.

REVIEW: It’s interesting how as technology has developed the future of brain research and the journey into the human mind has impacted science fiction. In 1983’s “Brainstorm” there was a tap device that could record the human brain and be used by another person to experience the playback. In the 1990 adaptation of the Philip K. Dick shorty story “We Can Remember It For You Wholesale” into “Total Recall” there is a massive computer device that can alter and implant memories to reshape an individual’s grasp of their reality. Brandon Cronenberg’s (yes, David’s son) 2020 film “Possessor” deals with a secret government agency that has the ability to use brain-implant technology to inhabit other people's bodies in order to achieve their objectives undetected. Many of these films rely on flashy production designs and visually impressive looking futuristic technology to tell their stories.

Arvi Ragu’s CEREBRUM features some interesting looking technology that is grounded in a design that feels like the not so distant future. When you consider all the great American inventors, many of whom looked like, or they did indeed, work out of their homes or garages, such as Edison or the Hewlett-Packard (HP) company. Tom’s father Kirk is working out of his garage with a technology that interfaces with skin contact, much in the same way many devices we use today have apps that keep track of many of our health stats. The data that his technology collects is stored on these small discs that are put into a device that can be worn on the wrist. That information can then transform the wearer into the person whose data it is, but for a limited time. The whole research and implementation foundation he lays out seems practical and allows the view to go along for the ride.

Ragu works with a talented cast to tell his sci-fi thriller. Veteran actor James Russo adds this edge and gruffness to a character that we rarely see. Also, he’s not a “mad scientist,” but he is driven by the tragedy of what happened to his wife, Tom’s mother, to develop this technology. Most of all, he comes across as the “every man,” with a lack of perfection when it comes to his relationships and his shortcomings. Christian James plays his son Tom. There are some great scenes with him and Russo, as well as those with his co-star Alexxis Lemire. The chemistry sells the drama and adds to the tension and mystery of the tale.

In terms of the cinematography, costume designs, and other production designs, Ragu takes it in a different direction from what we normally expect from this type of story. By setting it in Texas, the film has a lot of browns, deep reds, and burnt orange to overlook that makes it feel more like a western then a sci-fi film. In the overall context of the narrative it works and makes for an engaging view.

The film’s climax makes these big leaps in what could easily have become a shell game or three card monte trick. I was afraid that it might become a bit confusing but Ragu does an amazing job of keeping it on point and delivers a clean and satisfying resolution. Given the circumstances the viewer early on knows that Tom is innocent for a variety of reasons, but the mystery of who actually did it keeps the viewer engaged.

CEREBRUM is the feature film directorial debut of Arvi Ragu. He delivers a soldi sci-fi thriller with an impressive narrative and some breathtaking and unexpected visuals. He does an excellent job of using the sci-fi elements to lay the foundations for the thriller aspect of the story, and successfully weaves in these character elements that we’d find in a solid drama about family and personal relationships. It’s an extremely satisfying view that probably looks even more amazing on a big screen. There are a couple of imperfections in the film, but they fail to detract from the overall quality of the film and my enthusiasm to experience Ragu’s next film.

CAST: Christian James, Alexxis Lemire, James Russo, John Ruby, Anirudh Pisharody. CREW: Director/Screenwriter/Producer - Arvi Ragu; Screenplay - Gary D. Houk; Producers - Siraj Narsi, Anirudh Pisharody, & Jill Von Dae; Cinematographers - Jakob Lofberg & Ron McPherson; Score - Edward Antonio; Editor - Jon Blaze; Production Designer - Sonja Kroop; Costume Designer - Nina Fuller.

Yui: (He’s saying the same thing he said on the 1st day…)

Yo- you’re wrong…! When I was about to wake you up, then you did this while sleeping…!

Subaru: HAAH!? ME!?

kh...I see.

Yui: (Uuh...this situation is embarrassing…)

A- anyways! You have to wake up already!

Subaru: Tch...I have to huh. I’m gonna wake up…

*CG Fades*

Yui: (Last day of the parade…)

(If we complete the orders of the antique art-dealer, we can properly apologize to Earl Walter afterwards…)

(I must get back my heart from him…!)

Place: Aizen Stahl, Antique Art Store / アイゼンシュタール古美術商店

Yui: Hello, good morning!

Antique Art Dealer: Ooh, you two! I have been waiting. How’s your condition?

Yui: We’re already fine. Thank you for carrying us all the way up to the hotel yesterday.

Antique Art Dealer: Nope, don’t worry about that.

Subaru: If so, then don’t leave such notes which reach my nerves.

Yui: Wai- Subaru kun…!

Subaru: Hmph. And...What’s the last task?

We aren’t gonn’ have a leisure time today after all.

Antique Art Dealer: That’s right. Well then, I shall present today’s mission for you.

I want two of you to search…

My pet.

Yui: Ehh…!?

Subaru: Your pet!?

Antique Art Dealer: Mhm. When I took my pet to the Saint Honore Park today, it escaped away.

Yui: Escaped away...Err, by the way, what kind of pet…?

Antique Art Dealer: A parrot.

Subaru: Haah!? Is there any idiot to ever exist who’ll take a parrot outside!?

Antique Art Dealer: You can see, right in front of you.

Subaru: Don’t ye’ talk back!

Yui: Th- there, there...we’ve got no other options since it ran away…

Let’s go searching?

Subaru: Aah...right…

Yui: (Parrot huuuh...I hope we can find that out without any troubles…)

Place: サントノレパーク通り/ Saint Honoré Park, Street

Yui: (We’ve come here but…)

...It’s unbelievably crowded compared to the first day…

Subaru: ...Haah...earsore…

Yui: If there’s so many people, then we can’t ask around one by one.

Where should we get started…

???: Oh my? Could it be you two are…

Yui: (Hm…?)

Clown A: Yeah, looks like so! We’ve also met before!

Yui: Ah…!

Subaru: You are…!

Yui: (He’s the Mr Clown that we had met on the first day…!)

Clown A: Seems like you are being in trouble in this amusement park this time too~

Oh, plus did you find the head-mask?

Yui: Ah, yes! Thank you for helping us that time!

Clown A: Don’t mention it. By the way, are you trying to find something today as well?

Subaru: Yeah...we’re searching a parrot around.

Clown A: Parrot? ...Could it be that belongs to the person who was screaming today saying his pet escaped away?

Subaru: That’s right. We must gotta find out that old guy’s parrot.

Yui: Have you seen it somewhere?

Clown A: Umm...I’ve seen that today, but I don’t know where it is now…

Yui: I get you…

Clown A: Ah, that’s right! What if we distribute everyone a notice-poster?

Subaru: Poster?

Clown A: Exactly! Since there are so many visitors here today and,

If we pass out posters about this everyone, then you may find that pet out quickly.

Of course, we will support you in delivering those posters.

Yui: No kidding!?

Clown A: Sure thing! We also have a debt of gratitude for your show-performance.

Yui: What should we do? Subaru kun

Subaru: It can't be any help just by asking four or five. If it’s the case then I’ll agree on passing out posters or whatever it takes.

Yui: Aight, let’s start making posters right away!

*After a while*

Yui: (It’ll be better if it has an illustration which is easier to understand and helpful to find out.)

(Drawing a parrot is difficult but...I can count on the photo that they’ve shown us a while ago…)

Subaru: ………

Yui: ...Alright, it’s done!

I’ve drawn it this way, how’s it!?

(I’m thinking it looks good even someone like me has drawn it…)

Subaru: ……

...Isn’t that a crumbled cake?

Yui: Eeeh!? You’re wrong, it’s a parrot!?

Subaru: ...My bad, but whatever it’s looking like, it doesn’t look like a parrot…

Yui: N- no way…

Subaru: Parrot...hm...I also don’t know that much though…

*he starts drawing*

Subaru: ...Shouldn’t it...pretty much look like this?

Yui: Wah...cool…! It’s a parrot…!

You’re unexpectedly good at painting!

Subaru: Surprisingly you say, but it’s needless. By the way...you’re awfully unskilled.

Yui: Uuh…

(I can’t say anything back about it…)

...Anyway, I think we should now scatter so many copies of it.

Clown A: Leave it to me!

I’m gonna distribute in the middle of this park, soI bet you can get some kind of information!

Yui: W- we’re looking forward to that!

(I hope we’ll get a little bit of information by doing it…)

*After a while*

Clown A: Heyy!

Subaru: What’s up?

Clown A: Looks like we’ve come up to know something at once! That pet it possibly in the street over there!

Yui: (Looks like it was effective to make posters!)

Let’s go there!

Place: サントノレパーク通り/ Saint Honoré Park, Street

Subaru: Fuck, where did that damn parrot go!?

Yui: ーAh! Look, Subaru kun! It’s on the roof of the attraction box office!!

Subaru: Tch...this guy playing stupid with us arround…!

Yui: (...It has reached such a place like in the roof huuh…)

*parrot screeches*

Yui: What now, if we just wait here then it’s gonna fly away…!

Subaru: ...I’m gonna fly there and get that.

Yui: Eh!? You can’t! That parrot is pretty big plus...

Subaru: If I take a lot of time just climbing on the roof, it’s gonna run away.

Yui: But…

Subaru: Just be quiet and wait ‘re.

….gh…

*Footsteps*

Yui: (Hm…? Ah, the child is…!)

Subaru kun, waitー

*Screen shakes*

Subaru: ...kh, haa?

Vampire Children C: Ah...I’m so sorrー

Ah...my ice-cream is…

Yui: (It fell off when he collided…?)

Subaru: Oi! Look front while walking! It’s dangerous!

Yui: Su- Subaru kun, calm down…

Err...are you okay?

Vampire Children C: Uuh...my ice-cream...it fell…*crying*

Yui: (He’s crying…!? Oh no!?)

Subaru: Tch...stop it…

Anyway, I am gonna get the parrー

*Parrot flies away*

Subaru: Oii!! Wait up!!

Yui: (It escaped…)

Subaru: Of shit...I was very close…

Vampire Children C: Uuuh….uuuh…

Subaru: ...che.

Yui: (I’m Subaru kun is very angry?)

I- I am sure...this child didn’t get bumped onto you willinー

Subaru: Yeah...I’m aware of that.

Oi, brat.

Vampire Children C: ….Big brother, I’m so sorry...it was my fault…

Subaru: That doesn’t matter now. Above that...you dropped your ice cream huh.

Vampire Children C: Y- yes…

Subaru: ...Which shop is selling it? I’m gonna buy you a new one in exchange.

Yui: Subaru kun…!

Subaru: Even though it’s just an ice-cream to me...but to this brat, maybe it’s something more than that.

Yui: (I see...so that’s why…)

Vampire Children C: Thank you, Oniichan, Oneechan!

|| Oniichan means big brother and Oneechan means big sister in Japanese.

The shop is right over there! I’ll lead you the way.

Monologue

After this, the boy take us to the shop but一

We were too late, so the ice-creams were already sold out.

This child who was tearing up Subaru kun bought him a pudding from a different shop. For that, somehow he stopped crying.

For a moment, I thought what bad could come up, but the boy returned to his parents while waving his hand to us putting on a smiling face at last 一

End of Monologue

Yui: At the end, that boy was having a happy face right….!

Subaru: Aah...with this, finally it got settled.

Yui: Yes. Thanks for working hard.

Subaru: Well...time to go back for the main task. We’ve lost so much time for sure but 一

*Parrot screeches*

Yui: Eh...that sound of a bird…! It means…!

*Flies*

Yui: Kyaa…!

(Now, it just flies though in front of us!?)

Subaru: That bastard...found it…! This time I ain’t let ‘em escape for sure!

Place: Gardening Shop / 園芸店

Yui: Haah….kh...haah…

(We had to run quite a bit...this place...a granening shop…?)

*Parrot screeches*

Subaru: Tch...where is it planning to go…!

Place: Garnering Shop, Glasshouse/ 園芸店温室

Yui: (It’s taking us in such kind of places…)

(Ah...it has stopped on this tree…!)

Subaru kun, it’s the right chance, yes?

Subaru: 一Hold it. Don’t go now.

Yui: Eh...but why…?

Subaru: The tree where the parrot standing is...the Devil’s Tree.

Yui: Devil’s Tree…?

Subaru: This is a tree which reacts to a small stimulus and aimlessly attacks the ones who will go nearby it...

Once you get entwined with it’s branches, it won’t be easy to escape away from it.

Yui: Such a tree is…

Subaru: Yeah...that’s why the only way is to secretly go near it and wait for the perfect chance…

Do ye’ even try to make noises that much.

Yui: Yes…

(I’ll do my best…)

Subaru: ...Aight, just a bit一

Clown A: Oooi~! You two!

Yui: Eh?

Subaru: Aah!?

Clown A: That’s good! I’ve been searching for you!

Subaru: Oi, ye’ dummy! Be quiet!

Clown A: Eh? What do you just say?

Subaru: I said...SHUT UP!!

*Slightly hit the tree*

Yui: Ah, Subaru kun, if you do so, then the tree will…!

Subaru: Ah, oh no…!

*The tree starts attacking*

Yui: Kyaaa!?

(The branch is...wrapped around my body…!)

Subaru: Che…! Let go!!

*Punch*

Yui: Oh no, if you do so then, again…!

*Screen shakes*

Subaru: Uwaa!?

Yui: Kyaaaa!?

*After a while*

Place: Diamante Fountain / ディアマンテ泉

Subaru: Haah...oh shit, we had to face something terrible…

Yui: Yes...you’re right…

(In the conclusion, when一)

(We couldn’t move at all, then we were somehow saved…)

Clown A: I’m sorry...I thought to give you the information about the parrot right away and…

Subaru: Even if so, there was a Devil Tree out there

You knew that, no!?

Yui: W- well, well...but he didn’t have any bad-intention and also…

If Mr. Clown wouldn’t help us then I don’t know what bad could happen…

Subaru: Tch…

...It’s fine. Chasing after that parrot comes first over anything now.

Yui: (Exactly...Before a while, the parrot escaped away when we couldn’t move ourselves for that tree…)

Clown A: If it runs away even if you chase after that then,

What about luring out that parrot instead?

Yui: Luring…? Even if you say that, but how 一

Subaru: No, wait. There’s a way I guess.

Yui: Eh…?

Subaru: You see, that Old-Uncle mentioned before. The tarts which is selling out in the Tart • Tatan. Tarts are it’s favorite dish.

Yui: So, if we lure the parrot using tarts…

Subaru: ...We’ll be able to catch that for sure.

Clown A: Tart • Tatan is nearby this place, however一

Subaru: Near? Then we’re on our way.

Yui: Yes…!

(Let’s do our best so it’ll go smoothly…!)

*They walks away*

Clown A: ...However, tarts may have gotten sold out since today’s the last day of the Parade, I wanted to say.

I hope everything’s gonna be okay…

Place:Tart Tatan,Glimmer Street Shops /タルト• タタングリンマーストリート店

Yui: ...kh…!

Subaru: Aah? What’s up with this crowding…!

Yui: An- anyway, let’s ask the people whether this shop’s selling out tarts or not.

Err, excuse me! We want to take-out some well-known tarts from this shop…

Tart • Tatan Clerk: My sincere apologies. We’ve served too many customers today so,

So the tarts which were for take-out have already sold out…

Yui: So- sold out…!?

Subaru: Then, it’s okay even if we don’t take-out that. We can get the tarts by using the reserving-food method.

Yui: Oh, that’s right. Sorry for that, then we’re gonna reserve tarts for 2 person一

Tart • Tatan Clerk: Actually...the reservation is not available since the customers have already filled that over…

Subaru: What!?

Yui: S-such…!

(We had come this far but…)

Subaru: ...At the end, the only way is to chase after that huh…?

Yui: As you see, it’s the only way I think…?

???: Ah! Oniichan! Oneechan!

Yui: Eh, this voice…

Ah, look Subaru kun! The child who’s waving his hand to us is….

Subaru: Ah? ...It’s the kid from the before.

Yui: (Ne-nevertheless, the food that’s decorated like a mountain on their table is...Tart…!)

Vampire Child C: What are you doing here?

Yui: Umm…

Subaru: Honestly, I don’t wanna ask for the tart to a kid but...we got no other choices…

Yui: Looks like...so…

(I don’t know if he can give us one or two tarts but...let’s try it by asking him…)

Well, you see…

*After the conversation*

Yui: ...that’s what happened.

Vampire Children C: That parrot, it’s the bird that I saw while I collided with Oniichan?

Subaru: Yup, that one.

Vampire Children C: I see. Then I’ll ofcourse give you! It will do, right?

Father: You two were the ones who gave my son pudding, huh.

I am sorry that earlier my child has burdened you with unreasonable things. If this tart will come out handy then take as much as you want.

Yui: Eh, really!?

Father: Ofcourse. You were the one who took care of my child earlier.

Mother: Yeah, we’re really grateful for that.

Yui: Thank you so much!

Subaru: No kidding…?

Your kindness has come out as a huge help…

Yui: Y-yeah….?

(It makes me happy that he said it but…)

(But we don’t have time for that.)

Yui: Then, let’s use this tart and lure out the parrot!

Thank you so much!

Vampire Children C: Mhm, do your best!

Place: Onyx Tower, Inside Hall / オーニュクスタワー内部ホール

Yui: Phew...is it okay to arrange these like this?

Subaru: Yeah...all we can do now is to just wait.

Yui: (I spread it here, from where the smell should get spread the most but…)

(I really hope it’ll come, please…!)

*Wind blows + parrot comes*

Subaru: ….Hm?

Yui: Ah!

(It comes…!)

*parrot(s) screech*

...here, they go!?

(For some reason, so many of them have come!?)

Subaru: Oi, oi, what’s going on!? Where did they come from!

*Parrot(s) screech*

Yui: (Wah...they all have started to eat these all at once…)

Subaru, what can we do!? I am not that sure which one of them is the parrot that we’ve been searching…

Subaru: Me neither! By the way, the fastest way will be to get the Old-Uncle for conforming.

Which’s why...we gotta catch all of ‘em right now…!

*After a moment*

Yui: Haah...hah...kh…haah…

Subaru: ....kh...with this...we’re done catching each of them…?

Yui: Pr- probably…

(We’ve caught all of them when they’ve gone crazy eating the tarts but…)

(But I’m tired beyond my imagination…)

Subaru: ...Haah...now, we gotta call out that old-uncle for confirming in one of these一

Antique Art Dealer: 一Oh my, oh my...you have caught unexpected number of them.

Subaru: kh...you…!

Antique Art Dealer: Yeaah, I’ve come here to visit when I heard that so many parrots are gathered on the top of the tower…

I didn't think you’d catch so many of them.

Subaru: I think yer’ parrot in one of them! Check out!

Antique Art Dealer: Mhm, I will.

Subaru: ……

Yui: ……

(God please…! I hope his parrot is one of these…!)

Antique Art Dealer: ...Yup! This one!

*Parrot screeches*

Yui: Eh...It means…

Antique Art Dealer: Yeah, your mission is complete!

Subaru: OH YAAAAY!!

Yui: (That’s great…! Finally we’re done with these…!)

Subaru: Oi, you’re satisfied now I guess. Then hurry up and handover the things that ya’ promised us.

Antique Art Dealer: Ofcourse, I am aware of that.

Look, I’ve brought those with me.

Yui: (Ah...that’s right...it’s not over yet.)

(We have to go to the place where Earl Walter is.)

Subaru: Finally we’ve got to the starting point…

Yui: (Subaru kun had to face so many difficult things till now, yet…)

(He’s still dealing with these …)

Yui: Umm...Subaru kun, I am sorry...you’re having so much trouble for me…

Subaru: Ah? What are you saying such things, don’t worry.

It was originally my fault starting with and…

...I am gonna go to meet Earl Walter. You wait here.

Yui: Eh...But…

Subaru: I’ll...hurry up and get back your heart at once.

Who can be silent to a guy who’s doing whatever he wants to with any kind of people around.

Yui: Subaru kun…

Subaru: Ah...which is why...you should just be silent and listen to what I say. *blushing*

Yui: Yes…

But, I can’t make you feel hurt all by yourself.

That’s why I also want to go and apologize with you.

Subaru: ...Tch, do as you wish.

Antique Art Dealer: ...Hehehe. You don’t have to go there.

Subaru: Ah? What? What’s so funny?

*BG blurred to white*

Subaru: ...kh…!?

Yui: Wh- what!?

(Smoke is getting filled here…! I can’t see the front…!)

Antique Art Dealer?: ...You two did well.

Yui: (Eh...this voice…)

Subaru: ...kh, this bastard is, Walter!?

Earl Walter: Kukuku...Hahaha…!

*BG is back*

Yui: (Ah...the smoke disappeared一)

*Clothing sound*

Earl Walter: ...Is it the first time to see me in this appearance?

Yui: You are...Earl Walter…?

Earl Walter: Certainly. I have been observing your actions very closely.

Subaru: Closely you say...you mean by distinguishing yourself to an old-man!?

What was that...it means we’ve been rushing around for abiding your orders all these times…

Earl Walter: I think that I was a little bit mean with you. However, you were the one to break the goods of my castle to begin with.

This is why I wanted you to feel grief by doing these tasks.

Subaru: ...Hmph.

Earl Walter: ...Then, we shall move onto the main issue. Yui Komori, I’m talking about your heart.

Yui: ...Yes.

Earl Walter: The fact that you’re the one and only person who’s worthy to possess this treasure,

I have gotten the proof of this claim clearly with my own eyes.

...Therefore, I shall give your heart back.

*Heart’s pounding*

Yui: ...kh…

*Screen’s white for an instant*

Yui: (...kh...for a moment, I felt something strange in my body…)

(My heart is...back…?)

Subaru: ...Oi, you alright?

Yui: I- I think so…?

Subaru: ...ngh…

*Subaru gets closer + loses her dress*

Subaru: Kyaa…!?

Subaru: ...I’m gonna confirm it. ….nnnh...mnn…!

Yui: ...eek…!

(His fangs are…)

Subaru: ...Haah...mnn…!

...Haah...the taste is the same as always…

(Eh...it means…!)

Earl Walter: Heh...told you right? “I’ll give her heart back.”

Yui: ...Thank you very much!

(I’m relieved now…!)

Earl Walter: From here on, walk on your life by being worthy of having this heart.

Yui: Yes…!

Subaru: We'd know it even if you wouldn’t say!

Earl Walter: ...Fufu, good.

Well then...the finale of the parade is coming soon…

Enjoy that till the end upto your heart's content.

With this, I am going to take my leave.

Earl Walter: Kukuku...Hahaha!

*Sound*

Yui: (Ah...he disappeared…)

Subaru: Jeez, what was wrong with that guy…

Yui: Yes...he’s a very mysterious person.

(But…)

(I feel like he has taught us a very important lesson.)

Plant of the Day

Saturday 9 November 2019

The flowers of Rhododendron macgregoriae seemed to illuminate this cool glasshouse. This species was first collected on Mount Yule in New Guinea in 1890. But it was 65 years before wild collected seed was distributed in 1955, introducing this plant into cultivation.

21 au 27 mars 2022

I started sowing seeds this week, so I can plant them out in the autumn. The mornings were very cold so I spent the first hour or two sowing seeds in the glasshouse. Then I continued raking the soil for the new meadow. This was tough work. Couli and I just kept raking and clearing the biggest stones, cut roots and clumps of grass. We finished Tuesday. Tuesday afternoon I pulled a roller over the entire site, twice. Then I set up sprinklers around the area so they would be ready to go immediately after sowing.

Wednesday, late morning, I sowed the wildflower meadow. Here are the seeds before being mixed up and mixed with sand to help with a more even distribution.

Here are the seeds all mixed together.

This is the mix:

Achillea millefolium

Agrostemma githago

Allium schoenoprasum

Allium vineale (syn. Allium sphaerocephalum)

Carum carvi

Clinopodium nepeta (syn. Calamintha nepeta)

Campanula persicifolia

Catananche caerulea

Centaurea cyanus 'Blaue Gefüllte'

Centaurea scabiosa

Centaurium erythraea

Dianthus carthusianorum

Galium verum

Knautia arvensis

Lilium martagon

Nigella sativa

Origanum vulgare

Orlaya grandiflora

Ornithopus sativus

Papaver rhoeas

Phacelia tanacetifolia

Pimpinella saxifraga

Rhinanthus minor

Salvia pratensis

Salvia sclarea

Scabiosa columbaria

Trifolium rubens ( or is it Trifolium alpestre ? Time will tell.)

Verbascum blattaria (syn. Verbascum blattaria f. albiflorum)

Couli will take care of irrigation while I’m on holiday. It is very frustrating that Michel delayed this entire project by over a week. I sent a strongly worded message regarding his bullying. Thankfully it is done and I can go away knowing it is in good hands with Couli. Things should take at least a week to germinate by which time I’ll be back.

Wednesday after work, I took the train to Ventimiglia. I couldn’t start my holiday soon enough. I started having problems using my credit card when I ordered my Uber, which I just found a bit strange and thought not much of it until it was refused in the evening when I tried to pay for my hotel room. The place I chose to stay was very close to the train station for my 06.40 train to Rome the next morning. Coincidently, the restaurant André and Denis recommended was adjacent and owned by the cousin of the person I rented my room. The food was delicious. It also seems to be a bit of a gay gathering spot; all the other people in the restaurant were male couples.

Before bed, I sent an email to my bank and was going to ring them while on the train Thursday. I woke up in the middle of the night worrying and discovered a way to send a message via the app. I received a phone call within an hour and we went through about a dozen fraudulent charges. I was shocked. My card had to be cancelled. I was now on holiday without my main credit card. Thankfully, Daniel, who I was visiting in Rome, lent me some money and I had brought my Monzo card, so I transferred money around so I could use it.

It was so nice to spend four days in Rome with Daniel. We’ve been friends since 1994.

We ate very well and enjoyed just wandering around the quieter parts of Rome.

Midtown Workplace, Brisbane Property

Midtown Workplace, Queensland Office Project, Australian Real Estate Development, Commercial Building QLD

Midtown Workplace in Brisbane

8 Mar 2022

Architects: Cox Architecture

Location: Brisbane CBD, Queensland, Australia

Photos by Christopher Frederick Jones

Midtown Workplace

Midtown Workplace in Brisbane’s CBD delivers a sustainable and adaptable model that accommodates new ways of working for an increasingly distributed workforce.

Spanning 9 levels, the workplace is within an adaptive reuse development that merges two ex-government buildings into a single A-Grade tower. The use of recycled materials from the original building has reduced carbon dioxide emissions by 11,000 tonnes – equivalent to running the building carbon-neutral for four years.

The brief – create a nimble workplace that will adapt to the evolution and progression of our client’s business, their story, and their connection with their community.

Armed with the principles of connection and evolution, we transformed these values into two tangible design features. The first – a central atrium fringed with planting and drenched in daylight, anchored by an auditorium at its base. The second – a central high-street providing an activated thoroughfare that promotes serendipitous exchange and curates’ moments of discovery and innovation.  

The new workplace explores an alternative to standard workspaces, creating a diverse and blended model that is supported by a high proportion of hackable, collaborative areas. 30% of the primary work points are moveable, affording teams complete autonomy and control over their workspace.

‘The Pit’, a magnet for cultural exchange, is a space for our client’s team to gather as a whole and galvanise their vibrant culture.

A highly mobile organisation with a vast global network, our client’s required an agile approach to technology and connectivity. Responsive meeting room bookings and occupancy technology was trialled throughout a customised POC process and seamlessly integrated into the fit out.

“The design of Midtown Workplace highlights the importance of place and human connection in an increasingly virtual world. Underpinned by the conceptual narrative of exploration, the workplace is a magnet to foster innovation, collaboration, and connection.” COX Director, Brooke Lloyd

Bamboo - The Ultimate Green Kitchen Product and a Must for Your Eco-Friendly Kitchen

Bamboo is now more than ever, our world's greatest prospect for true sustainability. The ultimate regenerating plant, this things is found all over the world, from mountaintops to dense forests and in ever stripes of climate in marshlands. This remarkable abuse has the nickname of the world's fastest growing movement and thrives in the pacific rim. Some groups in the proficiency community, environmentalists generally, maintain if bamboo were used substantially in reforestation labor around the world, there would be a drastic reduction in glasshouse emanation and global warming. Here, interesting enough are some features and benefits of bamboo:

Its regeneration time from planting to yield is roughly 60-90 days, unlike a tree which needs 80-90 days to complete the same regeneration process. It's one of the cheapest renewable structure materials used in construction and has excellent structural properties. Rural communities and cultural centers sprout up around areas of refinements and harvests. Harvesting and planting around the parish provide many local jobs and return streams creating a sustainable living cycle. It's one of the fastest growing sphere of forests, and plays a major bureau in rebirth of natural and animal habitats. Doesn't require significant cocaine or intestines to cultivate and output it. Bamboo is culturally and historically important in respect to art, music, convention and ritual throughout the world and Southeast Asia. The beating roots grow laterally along the nation several hundred feet from the hearts or nucleus of the plant. They can be quite destructive to paving and concrete surfaces and are often the cause of ceramic tubes failures underground due to the tenacious and robust root system. If you try to get rid of the wilderness distribution plant, you've got your employment cut out for you. The best funds to rid the region of it is to mow in down over and over, dozens times required until the roots finally pause down and die, On the other hand, bamboo is an excellent beating for maintaining and carrying country from the destructive forces of manure erosion. It often grows in moist field advantage around water sources as this is model for the quickly growing plants with their unique water saving root structure. We know it grows fast but exactly how fast? Would you believe 4 ft in under 24 hours?

I have a vivid recollection of bamboo as a small child. Watching a fair count of TV raising up in the United States, I was also drawn to move movies, war pictures and martial arts movies with the likes of Jackie Chan, Chuck Norris and Bruce Lee. It struck me how much bamboo I saw in these movies - primarily commercially for construction, scaffolding, bridges, platforms and the like... it was like it was their 'steel.' And dialogue about a resonating testimonial for the incredible engineering ownership of tensile strength. On the film "Bridge over the River Kwai" that I watched scores times with my dad and brothers, I was floored by that bridge made entirely out of bamboo promoting the entire burden of series locomotive and multiple cars. That's some strong stuff, that bamboo.

I use a lot of bamboo in my kitchen. I love the chop sticks and bowls, salad utensils, exquisitely polished and warm soft woods that look so natural and emotion so right on the meal room table. Salads never looked and tasted better. I grew up in a small midwestern town loving stir-fry and karaoke- that's when I fell in love with the environmentally righteous, ultimate sustainable and regenerating plant with a million and one uses.

It tins be completely re-harvested in 3 years with no sewage reduction or negative sewage events. It type over 35% more oxygen than any other sort of tree on the planet. That makes them an excellent CO2 scrubber and evidence cut down on our greenhouse emissions, overall carbon footprint and global warming. It consumes nitrogen in large quantities and as a backwash reduces air pollution. It's also one of the priority treats for the endangered Giant Panda from China- they love the soft and sweet bamboo shoots, stems, and leaves. What's not to like closely this stuff?

Finally in a tale that goes full circle, here is the ultimate yarns of re-growth and hope. Bamboo is also the only workshop to survive the atomic bomb in Hiroshima in the Second World War. It was also solely responsible for the initial re-greening of the area and thereby starting the actual re-growth tendency of arranging Hiroshima back on the map.
