Spoilers for the next breed. I just want to speak my thoughts into the void :P

I’m just hoping they move well otherwise all these potential plans go down the drain XD. If their animations would be anything like the American Paints, Arabians, or Haflingers I will be SOLD!!

We’ve got a good basic bay. Not too light nor too dark, just a nice middle ground bay. Tbh the dark shoulder patch could be a deal breaker potentially. But who knows what it’ll look like in game. Otherwise, it currently has no markings and therefore I deem it too plain for my tastes

Now this one!!!! Oh, I’ve been waiting for a horse like this! Okay so I’m into Attack on Titan, right? Regardless of the current arcs in the anime. That sweet time when titans were a mystery, and the Survey Corps traversed the infested land and escaped via horseback. I have an AoT OC and being the horse girl that I am, I gave her like 6 horses in her charge. One of them, being the main one Lily would train on, was a lighter bay with some sort of stripe or blaze face marking. Back when the Trakehner came out, it was tempting to get that one to be this embodiment. But it was too light. There was the Thoroughbred that was a little closer to the desired color but had no markings. But now!! Axel could potentially finally have a solidified rendition!

I am also a huge sucker for chestnuts. I have been OBSESSED with a song called Cyberpunk by Ateez since they uploaded a preview of their latest album. Every now and then I’ll watch jumping events on YouTube with music when I’m bored. The timing of some songs and the jumps of the horse match and makes it pretty fun! and I’ve come to associate the song with a chestnut. I do have plans to name a horse Pirate King aka Treasure, but idk if that fits this horse specifically. I’ll need to find a name if I like them. It’ll be down to how they are in game that’ll be the deciding factor

I’m normally a HUGE fan of dark bays. A little biased because Brave Rebel is my soul horse, the ever-iconic dark bay Morgan. I’m still waiting for the updated Morgans, but if they don’t do them justice, I’ll just have to remake Rebel as a different breed that has similar color. This horse....wouldn’t be the remake option. It looks kind of like an ashy dark bay. Cool on its own, but doesn’t really call my name

A buckskin? A cutie! Not my personal cup of tea, but I will enjoy other people riding around on this horse and seeing their tack ideas (that I may or may not end up stealing)

A typical black horse yada yada, BUT! It is what I’m looking for as an anime boy™. Megumi from Jujutsu Kaisen to be exact. I still haven’t decided if the name should be Divine Shadow or Divine Abyss. He will have all the pets! A handful in rotation to mimic his shikigami. The brown raven for Nue, a rabbit for his “rabbit escape”, and I’m hoping we’ll get bigger running pets. Especially wolves or just a big dog that’s close enough for his iconic demon dogs!

Another chestnut that’s darker than the previous one. I like this color, but again, no markings currently. Markings or a lack thereof will make or break a horse for me. If it has cute markings, I’ll take it! If it stays a plain bagel, then I’ll skip it for another

This one is a potential horse. Will it end up being a released coat? Will it be made into something else? Who knows! But if it does end up making the cut and going from a blinding white to a sweetly dappled grey (ideally like the Shire, those dapples are just the right amount for me on a mostly “white” horse in game!) then I will take it! Only if the animations are good. Because the theme for a sporty white/grey horse is one of my favorite bois, Inumaki from again Jujutsu Kaisen. Once I saw that you could name a horse “Thorn” in game, I HAD to plan a horse for Toge! As his name translates to Thorn. I just need to wait for the right horse. Could this be the one?

This one while it’s speculated to be changed or removed, it does have a grey muzzle that has a hint of a nose marking. Soooo we’ll see!

warrior cat designs/remakes (pt1)

u can use any of them with credit

Designs here are:

based off of my old Firestar designs (i will post old designs separately). Made colors more soft! changed the pattern on head and removed the lighter underbelly.

didn’t change much from the previous design, i just really liked the old one. I did fix the stripes

found the old one ugly a bit all over the place (i rushed the old designs) so i decided to fix that. Made him a Siamese since that’s how i imagined him at first.

made the colors softer and work well together. stub tail.

The colors were too bright for my liking so i changed that. Her fur is more od a grayish purple since i found it pretty

the colors were too bright and didn’t flow well (it wasn’t my favorite design when i first made the old one) so i fixed it, giving him colors that flow well and his frosty eyes.

This is a design i didn’t have a design for previously. I originally was gonna make him half white and half black/dark grey but i just didn’t know how to do that and make it look good so i did this. his design is symmetrical except for what is shown that isn’t symmetrical

i liked the old design i made for her but i changed a bit made her fur a little less curly and made the colors softer

also really liked the old design but i just changed the face marking a little and the design on the back changed a bit. I was a huge fan of (Used to say Sagutoyas but uh after what she did nah man) so the design is inspired by her Ivypool’s design.

the old design was super rushed and ugly and i didn’t like it when i made it, probably my least favorite of the old designs. I also completely forgot what Blackstar looked like when i made it so i came up with this.

funky fire lad.

i find him and Ashfur uncannonly similar so i made their designs similar

floofy boy! he’s my favorite. Has design aspects from his parents.

i was not about to make a cat one full color and add no other colors, i just don’t like that. (i don’t like when a character has only one color on the fur to work with, it feels bland an boring so i try to avoid that). I was going to make some grey markings but my brain told me to do this instead

Crow mama. Made her foot kinda bubbly/ashy. ovalish eyes (i started focusing on eye shapes after i made this one.

love him. I know his foot is twisted but I thought his foot was just injured badly when i first read the books and its gonna stay that way

Idk, just winged it and i like it a lot! this is definitely at top 5 designs i liked the outcome of. His color sceme is also similar to Cloudtail for some reason? just wanted to do that. eyes are a bit pointy.

Stumpy tail! I hope his design is animation friendly enough. eyes point at the top.

BABEYYY! i messed up when i was coloring the lines but i already merged the layers so oh well

I think this is the most complex design i made but i noticed that a lot of Longtail designs are complex. Hope this is still animation friendly tho

and that’s it

"Hi," says Chase, scrolling on the phone when Henrik wakes from a deep nap, his glasses askew on his face and his hair mussed towards the ceiling. Henrik mumbles and pushes himself back into place, rolling over on Jackie's bed, where their older brother is asleep between them.

A few days have gone past, and Jackie's doing a little better all around. He's able to get out of bed without dizziness now and the wound has stayed clean. He's talking more, to all of them, and what seems to be a small difference has wrapped a veritable blanket of calm after him. He seems relaxed to Chase for the first time since... well, ever.

The only stressor still clinging to him is Max. Chase has been over to see Stacy and the kids every night - they're waiting for Marvin to remake some mirrors before heading home to Sweden - and apparently she and Max have had a couple terse conversations over the phone, with slow progress.

"We should let him sleep," sighs Henrik, getting out of bed.

Chase rises with him. This movement between them - the way they ebb and flow together, like birds sharing the same draft - it never seems to change.

"What are you doing on the phone?" asks Henrik, plopping down on their nest and pulling Noodle into his lap. On their windowsill, his caterpillar has rolled itself up into a lumpy green cocoon. "Playing your silly cat game?"

Chase lets out a low breath, sitting down beside him. "Ha. Um, no. Actually, I wanted to tell you something."

Henrik looks up, the change in atmosphere not lost to him. "Oh?"

Chase nods. "You're doing better, you know? You had a slip back into that, uh, quiet mode again the other day, but you came out of it quick. I don't need to be taking caretaker checks and looking after you anymore, really. You're up to looking after yourself again."

Henrik blinks. "Okay."

"And I - well, I'm a dad now. Or, like, I always have been, but - you know what I mean. And I want to help with all of our finances, and to have a life outside of the five of us, and - and - Dok, I got a job offer."

"Oh!" Henrik's hand stills on top of Noodle's head. "Oh, yes, that's... good. That's very good! It is."

"But it means..."

Chase's eyes meet his and neither of them needs to finish the sentence. It means they'll be apart for hours at a time. The last time that happened, Anti was taking Dok away to torture him in the spare bedroom or hypnotizing Chase into submission on repeat.

Their lives are so deeply intertwined.

"I just wanted to run it by you," says Chase, shifting in their blankets.

"It's good," repeats Henrik, like a skipping track. "It's good."

The words are slightly ashy on his tongue.

Groovy! Bruce Campbell finally shows up to Rock and Shock at DCU and Palladium.

Here’s a short article style interview with Bruce Campbell on Ash vs. Evil Dead.

WORCESTER — All right, you primitive screw-heads, listen up!

“Groovy” Bruce Campbell is coming to Rock and Shock this weekend (Saturday and Sunday only) at the DCU Center to bury Ashley “Ash” Williams, not to praise him.

The chainsaw-wielding,“boomstick”-carrying, wisecracking, Deadite-slaying hero of the “Evil Dead” movies and Starz network’s original series “Ash vs Evil Dead” is no more, according to the 61-year-old Michigan.

Last year’s finale of “Ash vs Evil Dead” marked the end of Ash and the “Evil Dead” universe, as far as Campbell is concerned, so much so that he added a “Requiem for Ash” chapter in the paperback version of his New York Times best-selling autobiography, “Hail to the Chin: Further Confessions of a B Movie Actor,” in which he says, “Out of respect for my ability to properly portray a particular character, I’m retiring Ash, not retiring from acting. I’m retiring from a very technically demanding type of acting, not the craft itself.”

In 1979, Campbell, his high school pal (and future A-list Hollywood director) Sam Raimi and fellow Michigander Rob Tapert scraped up $350,000 and went out into the woods to shoot the low-budget film, “The Evil Dead,” which took them four years, on and off, to finish.

Not only did it become an instant cult classic and one of the most successful independent films ever made, “The Evil Dead” spawned two sequels, 1987′s “Evil Dead 2: Dead By Dawn” and 1992′s “Army of Darkness.”

And, when “Evil Dead” fans were clamoring for 20 years for a installment, Campbell, Raimi and Tapert gave them an “Evil Dead” remake (without Ash) instead.

“Unmercifully, for years, it was ‘Evil Dead 4’! ‘Evil Dead 4’! ‘Evil Dead 4’! People wouldn’t shut up about it,” Campbell said during a recent phone interview. “We gave them a remake. Some people thought it was OK. Some people thought it was too serious. Some people were pissed there was no Ash. So, all the remake did is poked the zit. So, we went, OK, let’s give Ash his final hurrah.”

Rock and Shock info:

After decades of saying it’s never going to happen, Campbell suited up (with chainsaw as hand) as Ash — not in “Evil Dead 4” but for three unrated seasons of “Ash vs Evil Dead,” a series that ran from Oct. 31, 2015, to April 29, 2018, on Starz.

“No studio is going to give you multi-millions of dollars to make an unrated movie,” Campbell said. “So, in this case, we thought, OK, let’s bring it back as a TV show. We can do a lot more material. So you get 15 fresh hours. If those were movies, it would have taken us 20 years to put out that much.”

Filmed in Auckland, New Zealand, with the same creative team that worked on the “Lord of the Rings” trilogy, “Ash vs Evil Dead” was a step up in quality from the early, low-budget “Evil Dead” films.

“These craftsmen were able to finally silence all the people who were like you and your low-budget effects,” Campbell said. “Our art direction, all of the design, the effects, the stage work, I put up against any show out there, perhaps with the exception of ‘Game of Thrones.’”

In addition to the creative behind-the-scenes crew, Campbell praises his two, game-for-anything co-stars, Ray Santiago and Dana DeLorenzo, who played Pablo and Kelly, respectively.

“We got lucky,” Campbell said. “I don’t use that word much but we were very fortunate in that we got two actors at the right time. They were very game. They were very ready. They had some experience but not too much experience. And they left it all on the table. Ray and Dana, it was great to watch them do their stuff.”

“Ash vs Evil Dead” also reunited “Xena: Warrior Princess” (Lucy Lawless) with Autolycus, the “King of Thieves” (Campbell).

“We knew we wanted Lucy desperately. And I don’t know if we served Ruby (Lawless’ “Ash vs Evil Dead” character) as well as we should have. That’s my only regret,” Campbell said. “I never saw her have a bad day on set. She’s always polite, always professional, and she kept me in line. I mean, she really did. I get a little pissy on set. I look over at her and she’s like, ‘C’mon, same team, same team.’ I would use her in anything. She can do anything.”

Campbell said his inner fanboy was very excited working opposite Lee Majors, aka “The Six Million Dollar Man,” who agreed to play Ash’s potty mouthed, womanizer dad on “Ash vs Evil Dead.”

“Lee got the joke and he loved the fact that he could play a guy that was so not Lee Majors,” Campbell said. “It couldn’t be any better than this, doing a scene with Lee Majors, talking about your bionic hand. And he goes, ‘It looks like some piece of (expletive) made in China.’ Those are the little golden moments that made the drudgery worthwhile. I still call him dad.”

Campbell said his favorite “Ash vs Evil Dead” episode is “Delusion,” in which Ash wakes up from a nightmare only to find himself in an asylum with a demonic “Ashy Slashy” puppet.

“Honestly, that (expletive) puppet is haunting me to the end of my dreams,” Campbell said.

As for the sickest, most disgusting and depraved scene he filmed on the show, Campbell said it was when Ash’s head goes up a cadaver’s butt.

“It wasn’t intended initially,” Campbell said. “Ash was just going to have a fight with a colon and then our trusted producer, Mr. Rob Tapert, said, ‘I know what you got to do. You got to go up butt.’”

While fans are forever hopeful for another installment of the further misadventure of Ash and his faithful “boomstick,” Campbell said he had to put the kibosh on it because the role is too much physical wear and tear on the middle-aged actor.

“I would send a series of emails to the director about the upcoming episode warning them of my infirmary would get worse as the season went on,” Campbell said. “And, honestly, if we did a season four, you know people would have said, ‘Hey, if we only had a season five.’ Then, you do a season five. They’d go, ‘If only we had another movie.’ So you have to accept the fact that ‘Evil Dead’ fans will never ever be satisfied and that’s OK and that’s why we love them.”

In fact, Campbell said likes the way they ended the series.

“You finally let the schmo have his day,” Campbell said. “Ash’s not just a guy in a crappy trailer home. He’s actually is a guy written up in an ancient book (the ‘Necronomicon’). So he goes off to battle evil in the future with a hot robot chick. What the hell wrong with that? It’s perfect.”

If they had a season four of “Ash vs Evil Dead,” Campbell said he would have killed off Ash once and for all.

“I’m sure Sam Raimi or Rob Tapert would have had a heart attack but Ash would have fulfilled his destiny,” Campbell said. “He would have battled evil in the past, present and future. That’s fulfilling his destiny. Hands the mantle to the new man or women, child or beast, dies heroically saving the day ... So it’s a big sacrifice, total Luke Skywalker, Joseph Campbell. I’d go all the way.”

Campbell is not only the most requested guest at the popular horror convention in its 15 years of existence, “Rock and Shock” organizers have been trying to get the Ash actor since day one. So why now?

“Every year is different in this roadshow called Bruce Campbell,” the beloved B-movie actor and New York Times best-selling author said. “It was due. And I’m selling a paperback version of ‘Hail to the Chin: Further Confessions of a B-Movie Actor.’”

Campbell said he can’t wait to finally meet his “Rock and Shock” fans.

“A lot of them are very shy people,” Campbell said of his fans. “They wait two hours in line. They come to the table and they can’t say anything. And I feel for them. So I torment them.”

For those who dish out their hard-earned dough for a photo-op, Campbell offers these friendly words of advice.

“Bring props. Props are good. Bring ‘Evil Dead’ books, axes, chainsaws. Let’s spice up your photo. Wear something kooky. Dress up. Wear a shirt with a collar,” Campbell said. “If you’re going to get a photograph that’s’ going above the mantel, come on man, put some pride in it.”

Unpopular opinions about game of thrones?

it’s not that badly written of a show (the last 2 seasons were w e a k but not really as bad as everyone says)

i don’t think daenerys should’ve had purple eyes to match the books perfectly (it would’ve been kinda fantastical and it’s not necessary) but they should’ve kept using light brow gel to keep emilia clarke’s brows light and ashy instead of letting them go almost natural since like s3/s4

the opening theme only improved as time went on, musically and the graphics too

the fourth and seventh episodes of each season were usually the best or at least most interesting/groundbreaking

probably pretty popular but the high sparrow plot was just so annoying

jorah mormont wasn’t that bad of a guy and i actually loved that boring ass beautiful old man

jon snow was an amazing, all-time favorite level character in the first five seasons (and part of s6) but then he got really boring and old

same with a lot of the characters

robb stark is super underappreciated and so is catelyn

it’s a mix of a really simple and really complex show. the world and all the plots and families and everything is so complex and intricate so then the characters end up having to forward the plot in every scene (which they have to, because each character gets 1-2 scenes per episode or maybe only a handful in a season--it’s not necessarily a fault, but it’s an observation)

yara greyjoy is not a good person and while theon was bad for a time, she was worse in certain ways and i preferred theon to her as time went on

tormund and brienne is a big no thanks from me

arya’s entire training in braavos pissed me off and made me anxious and i still wish we knew what happened (like it’s cool she’s a badass but also i hated everyone training her, so)

the stark montage at the end of the series finale was the best part of the series finale

the show isn’t about a huge, giant, overarching theme but there are many and people got too attached to book prophecies that were hinted at but didn’t turn out how they expected and people got butthurt about it

i dislike watching daenerys and drogo’s scenes, even once they are in a better place, it just leaves a bad taste in my mouth

speaking of daenerys, it was always hinted at (really obviously, too) that she could go one of two ways so it was painful but not the most shocking thing ever to happen on got

i wish sansa’s alayne stone phase lasted longer and was portrayed so she still looked like herself and less harsh

myranda was so annoying i can’t even deal--

shae and ros were the mvps

cersei is insufferable but iconic and makes some good points here and there (but her past doesn’t excuse her actions, same with anything else. no get out of jail free cards for her just because i’m obsessed with her hair.)

jon and daenerys got together way too fast and i didn’t really let myself enjoy it and idk if i will in a future rewatch

i’m shook olenna lived as long as she did but also i hate how she died

jorah > daario (daario’s not bad but not always my cup of tea)

the show got really predictable, especially in the final 2-3 seasons

there are no purely good/unproblematic ships to be found (closest would be sam and gilly, ned and cat, arya and gendry by s8, etc.)

daenerys shouldn’t have listened to tyrion.......................ever. why would anyone ever listen to tyrion?

he’s funny but he was made into a joke of a character and it wasn’t because we were laughing with him or at his jokes anymore (kinda sad)

aging the characters up from the books was a good thing for a multitude of reasons

there should not be a remake of the final season and people should just deal with the fact that the show is over.

#game of thrones #uos #i'm gonna get unfollowed/hate probably lol oh well #also i bet i forgot a lot but it's lateish and i'm a tired girl #got asks #anonymous #asks

#5020 — kim hyojin & #5017 — kang daniel ( @danielxrk )

MGA 5 EPISODE 4: nida team f2′s kpop vs. pop mashup ( arrangement )

mentions: @rksakura, @rkseunghun, @rkmason, @rkkenta, @danielxrk and many more!

with everything completely unpredictable, mixed in with too many confounding variables for him to do anything but desperately hope to show the best version of him every time, hyojin finds himself unable to wish for more than anything to make it past each round. he’s not the type to be disappointed for not being the best -- the fact that he had been praised in the first episode by the ceos was already amazing enough for him, and even sakura’s compliment still makes him blush whenever he thinks back to how she had called his voice pretty. besides, all that matters to him is that he’s improving and slowly learning to polish his skills, to become more refined than the rough rock he currently was. he’s quite happy enough being able to sing onstage and to show off his charms, taking whatever he could to be a learning experience for the future.

it’s not surprising to him at all that half of the people comprising the best duos of the week were named as the most talented in their skill category the previous week; if anything, he’s far more shocked that on the other side of things, some of the best got eliminated. yuqi, one of the best rappers, and then some talented singers, like jinyoung -- actually, all of them were quite good, so it’s rather jarring. it’s nowhere near as emotionally stressing as wonpil’s or seungmin’s eliminations, but still disappointing nevertheless, because he’s sure that everyone’s worked incredibly hard just to be here at this point.

perhaps he’s naive for thinking it, but he wishes that this was really just some kind of talent show, a place where people can show off their skills and learn from others without having to face the harsh reality of elimination and rankings. but that’s not why the mgas is so popular -- something like a tv showcase for talent can only happen once the acclaim is earned, the respect fought for with tooth and claw.

as much as many of the others seemed more aggressive and hyojin far more passive, it was by no means an indicator of passion or desire to do well. it seemed counterintuitive, but sometimes, when he looks up at the little cracks in the ceiling of his bedroom, reaching a finger up to trace them like constellations, hyojin feels his heart burn, his head rushing with a waterfall of thoughts, wishes, feelings that he can only describe as hunger. hunger and determination for the spotlight. sometimes, the ones that show their claws last can be the most dangerous -- he’s just as desperate, in a way, if not more so, but he shows it in a different way.

as the filming ends, he pats seunghun’s shoulder affectionately, smiling fondly at the boy and giving him a high five for a job well done. looks like he now owes someone spicy pork -- maybe they’ll go out later that week to celebrate before things spiral into madness once thursday comes again, although he’s sure they’ll both be busy in their duos. his mouth quirks up slightly as he comments on seunghun’s pairing with a “minho, huh? lucky duck. i’ll be looking forward to it. good luck, hunnie~”

as they part, hyojin finds himself wandering over to his own partner, his eyes having wandered over to the ashy-haired male the moment their names were called out, widening in surprise. who knew that he’d end up getting paired with daniel? the man was a lot of things in hyojin’s eyes -- a member of the famed empty enigma and sungwoon’s bandmate, competition, an unlikely collaboration partner -- but a duo partner was not an expected title. either fate works in strange ways, or mnet really does have eyes everywhere. after all, hyojin wouldn’t be surprised if there are videos circulating on the web of him and daniel performing fear together, especially coinciding with the mgas filming period. he can already sense some conspiracy theories popping up the moment things get revealed.

nevertheless, he can feel the excitement welling up, prudent but strong, at the prospect of working together with him again, this time for real. he’s been paying pretty close attention to daniel’s performances lately, impressed with his charisma and creativity, as well as his willingness to take risks and show off different talents. at the same time, though, hyojin really hopes that he can sing together with the male again.

finally making his way through the crowd of people leaving the studio to the taller, broad-shouldered male, hyojin taps his shoulder. “daniel-ssi, we meet again.” holding out a hand to the male, similar to the first time when they met, hyojin flashes him a soft and welcoming smile. “let’s do our best!”

❀ PREPARATIONS;

it’s a bit awkward at first -- even though there’s an air of mutual respect hovering around the both of them, they don’t quite know each other well enough to joke around like he does with hunnie. nevertheless, hyojin tries his best, listening attentively to what suggestions the other threw out and trying to add his own input. admittedly, they both had a relatively similar track record for songs so far -- they’ve both done girl group remakes at some point, remixes of pop songs, made heavy use of live instruments when performing. it’s this comfort and familiarity with instrumental that brings them closer, though, and after a few sessions of messing around with chords and tossing around songs, along with careful questions about the others’ lives, daniel suggests that they do a mashup.

at first, it strikes hyojin with surprise -- the fact that he’s never thought to do something like that surprises him, but it quickly turns into approval; the only way they could change up things in a fun and creative way was to do something like that. except, it’s a little different this time. daniel’s practically fluent in english, and hyojin is markedly not, but they both want to do pop songs. the thing is, in which language?

it’s quickly resolved before anything comes up, though -- they agree that they could do a mix of both american and korean songs, and with daniel’s more expansive knowledge of the former and hyojin’s familiarity with the latter, they decide to split up and choose their own songs, meeting in the middle to mix them together and make the necessary cuts.

for hyojin, he finds himself sifting through a multitude of pop songs, deciding on the more recent ones, along with selections from representative groups like bts, twice, and blackpink, along with one of his personal favorite songs, n.flying’s rooftop. likewise, daniel chooses his songs, and things go relatively smoothly from there. admittedly, hyojin finds himself impressed with his partner’s ability to mesh the songs well together for the most part, and although he helps in the process, he can’t help but think that this would have been a far more monumental task had daniel not been with him. even though they’re vastly different, they seem to have a hidden chemistry that hyojin can neither put his finger on or explain properly, one becomes clear when they perform together on stage.

they decide to go for a mix of guitar and keyboard, a bit similar to a band but less focused on the instrumental and more so on the singing and the novelty of the song mashup, and as they practice, hyojin figures out places to ad lib and to harmonize. they work surprisingly well together, like cogs in a bigger machine, and it becomes easier and easier to talk with daniel about other things about music and away from mgas, bonding over music and talking about empty enigma, sharing recommendations and letting their music tastes blend together into the perfect collaboration performance.

❀

"what about f2?” hyojin offers, tilting his head. after spending a decent amount of time quietly thinking to himself, letting daniel throw out some names first and letting the both of them play around with the idea before ultimately dropping it in hopes of finding something better, an idea formulates in hyojin’s head. after hearing that daniel hadn’t had a team name with heejin, it for some reason makes him even more determined to come up with a good name, one that matches the greatness of the one he had with seunghun.

“you know how there’s f4 from boys over flowers? we could be that, but since there’s two of us, we’ll be f2.” he says it a bit jokingly, laughing at the ridiculousness of his own suggestion, even as he adds, “we’ll make the audience fall in love with us with our overflowing charm.”

it ends up becoming their name, though, once daniel points out that the name is also a chord ( despite not knowing the drama hyojin was talking about ), and they decide to take it on due to it fitting their musical and charismatic image. after settling on the intro, of course with the included cringiness that was necessary for every good team introduction, they find that they’ve finally squared everything away.

now, all there was left to do was practice.

❀ IN THE STUDIO;

he’s notably a lot more chipper this time around, entering the studio with a more lax stance and with daniel at his side, the both of them in coordinated dress. this time, instead of a loose dress shirt, he’s dressed a little more casually, now in a shining red jacket with gold trimmings draped over a white t-shirt with a blue logo splattered over it, an outfit that fits the fresh vibes of summer and complements his hair well. slipping a hand in the pocket of his white skinny jeans, he finds a place to sit with daniel, near enough to seunghun so he can still talk to the male. laughing silently to himself when daniel starts bowing at minho, who happened to be his friend’s partner, hyojin waves it off when the male sits back down and sees his laughing, covering his face sheepishly. even though they were on different teams now, it didn’t mean that they couldn’t still converse as usual. at the very least, he could wish his friend the best of luck.

as it turns out, he doesn’t need it, because when seunghun goes up to the stage, he demolishes it along with minho. they complement each other incredibly well ( although hyojin would argue that seunghun and him had the best chemistry out of all the others -- but that might just be a prick of jealousy speaking ), and with their skills to back them up, hyojin is both satisfied and impressed with his friend, cheering for him excitedly and clapping him on the back when he gets back to his seat, bowing politely to minho. even though he didn’t listen to k-pop often, he still had a large amount of respect for the former convex member.

before that, though, sakura and kenta take the stage, a rapper-dancer duo. despite their different skillsets, they pull things off smoothly, and hyojin can’t help but heave a sigh of relief at how they not only finished safely without any mistakes, but also did quite well. he never doubted sakura, with her exuberant energy that always seemed to lift his spirits whenever he saw her lovely smile, but sometimes it’s hard to guess what could happen. mistakes are never meant to be made intentionally, after all. inwardly, even as he calls to her across the room, telling her “よくやったね ( yoku yattane -- you did well ),” shooting her an affectionate wink, he hopes that she can continue to perform at the best of her ability, and that she’s taking care of herself well.

❀ ON THE STAGE;

they’re called up to the stage as soon as seunghun and minho finish theirs, and even though he offers daniel a soft smile and squeezes the bigger male’s arm comfortingly in reponse to his comment as they go up to the stage, he can feel the weight of matching up to their performance pushing down on him. he finds himself echoing to himself in his head that he can do it, that their performance was also sure to impress in the same way seunghun’s had, because they had poured all of their effort into this, like it was their last chance on the stage. even with all of the netizens’ negative comments on daniel, hyojin knows his partner and now friend was better than they thought he was, that he was equally deserving and talented as everyone else.

if anything, that’s why he suggested the team name -- he wants to make sure that, even if it’s through their team name and their introduction, they assert this fact. call him nosy, or with a case of a severely bleeding heart, but he genuinely feels this way. he wants to prove to everyone that they can defend their positions, and put on a good show while doing so.

“hello, we are,” introducing them in his calm, soothing speaking voice, hyojin allows a pause for him and daniel to play the f2 chord on their respective instruments, before they say, “f2!”

letting daniel introduce himself, hyojin continues on the same thread as the male, adding, “and i’m kim hyojin, contestant #5020! like the members of f4, we’ll make sure to charm you~”

( maybe he just has a thing for cheesy intros, but he’s already stopped being embarrassed of himself at this point. he’s said worse, and also done worse -- mnet had even broadcasted his little joke confession to seunghun, whom had also done the same unknowingly -- so at this point, he’s just having fun with it, and taking advantage of his naturally cute complexion. he’s pretty sure his mom will laugh the moment she sees him doing this on broadcast again. )

they make sure their set-up works, with them facing each other slightly ( still able to see the judges, though ) to simulate the idea of a pseudo-competition that crosses over at the end and the individual microphones placed at the right setting. with that, he lets daniel do another quick strum to tune, and they begin their performance, daniel playing the introduction.

( bold = hyojin’s parts/both, normal = daniel’s parts )

oh oh oh oh love is nothing stronger than a boy with luv

singing softly, hyojin has yet to play much of the keyboard in the song except for a few light chords, and he lets his voice fluctuate nicely as he conveys the lyrics, smiling sweetly at the judges. turning his gaze back to the keyboard to focus on playing as things pick up, he moves his body slightly to the beat as daniel picks up the next song, singing the english perfectly.

look at me, look at you 누가 더 아플까? look at me, look at you, who’ll be in more pain? you smart 누가? you are you smart? who is? you are

transitioning into the blackpink song, he continues by following the original melody, this time drawing out his notes to accentuate them more and to fit the tone of the song. at the same time, it meshes well with the performance, and although the top line is different every time, it sounds nice -- like it’s an actual song. when he hears some of the members of the audience make a sound of recognition due to the recency and popularity of the song, he grins, winking playfully in their direction, the hype only building up as daniel segues into the next song, making good use of the same ‘oh oh oh oh’ hook from boy with luv to shift into shape of you.

on ‘slow,’ they both visibly slow down their playing, almost a bit teasingly, before they pick it back up again without a hitch, this time into dalla dalla.

예쁘기만 하고 매력은 없는 just pretty but not attractive at all 애들과 난 달라 달라 달라 i’m different from the kids 니 기준에 날 맞추려 하지 마 don’t measure me by your standards alone 난 지금 내가 좋아 나는 나야 i love being myself, i’m nobody else

lifting up a free hand to gesture at “달라 달라 달라,” hyojin continues to play the correct notes with his other hand, displaying his skill with the instrument and his surprisingly relaxed nature on the stage, hearing daniel harmonize with him to create a sweet-sounding chord, before waggling his finger at the next line, as if telling the judges not to measure him by just their standards, because he, like daniel, is more out of the box.

he harmonizes again with daniel at the last line before putting his other hand back down on the piano, and they pick up for the more vocal-heavy part of the song. daniel sings versace on the floor, the notes a little higher and showing off more of their capabilities -- despite this, it’s not too hard for the male, the right combination of powerful and pleasant, something they kept in mind when picking songs.

너는 별을 보자며 내 손을 끌어서 you pulled my hand, saying you wanted to see the stars 저녁노을이 진 옥상에 걸터앉아 we sat on the rooftop at sunset every time i look up in the sky yeah 근데 단 한 개도 없는 star yeah there’s not a single star yeah 괜찮아 네가 내 우주고 밝게 빛나 줘 it’s alright, you’re my universe, shine bright for me

rising up to match daniel’s more powerful song, he starts to sing rooftop, his voice hitting the higher notes with ease, feeling the melody and letting it carry him along, inserting the strong emotion he was known for having into his more ballad-like performances, then shifting into more faster lyrics with daniel harmonizing on the bottom line. he ends the section nicely, getting into character well.

fancy you 누가 먼저 좋아하면 어때 fancy you, who cares if who likes first

harmonizing with daniel on the first word, before letting his partner take over, hyojin finds himself again raising up a hand, making the rocker sign used in the twice choreography and copying the point dance loosely with his hand, still playing with ease due to the simplicity of the notes the arrangement allowed him for this segment, giving a knowing glance and a nod of approval at the members of the audience who did the same.

i'm gonna swing from the chandelier, from the chandelier i'm gonna live like tomorrow doesn't exist like it doesn't exist

this was his time to show off what was up his sleeve -- the little ace they had besides the creativity of the arrangement -- it’s not a hyojin performance without a little bit of his power, after all. he sings the sia song without hesitation, belting the notes without straining his voice and instead feeling the melody resound in him, a deeply satisfying feeling as he holds the high notes.

stopping his playing on a chord purposefully at the last line to emphasize the final high note, he closes his eyes briefly as he hits it, before opening them gently. to tie it off, they harmonize one more time, this time with hyojin snapping slightly below the microphone so it could be heard, but didn’t block out his voice.

with that, the end, and they bow, quickly packing up their instruments and making their way off the stage. of course, neither of them were perfect -- that was why they made the performance to cover each other’s blind spots and potential flaws, instead letting each other showcase their main talents and abilities without sacrificing stability. perhaps it wasn’t the most orthodox and thus not necessarily the safest option, but it was possible, nevertheless. at the end of the day, though, hyojin knows that it wouldn’t have been possible if he had been alone.

as he walks back to his seat, he turns to daniel with a bright smile, feeling refreshed, and says, “you’ve done well. thanks for being my partner, daniel.” he holds out his pinky finger instead of his hand, the gesture more final than all the times they’ve parted from before.

“let’s meet again, okay?"

🌸Scarlet, 👔Jasper, 🗣 [Redacted seester]

🌸 Scarlet- how did your character grow up? were they loved by their family? did they have a good or bad childhood?

Scarlet has kicked ass and kissed pretty girls her whole life ;). That is all.

👔Jasperchasm - what would your character look like as a human? what sense of style would they have?

Human Jasperchasm would have warm, brown skin and ashy-blond hair and be the beanpole he is as a cat. His fashion sense is very fluid and he steals clothes from everyone he's close to. No, you can't go through his closet, those are his things now. If he's actually going out and wants to look Nice, he tends towards skirts and flowy tops over some skin-tight undergarment. He doesn't care about wearing the same thing twice or anything like that, so while he likes clothes, he keeps and uses all he has. Also his favorite accessory is a heart choker he's had since high school <3

🗣 [Redacted]- what does your character sound like? do they have any catchphrases? do you have a voiceclaim for them?

She's loud! Has a bit of a scratchy voice that is a bit deep for someone her age. Maybe someday she'll have some catchphrases but right now, learning new words is too fun to overuse old ones! Right now, her voiceclaim is Luci Christian as Hiro Sohma in the 2019 Fruits Basket remake, but it'll likely change as she ages.

newfragile yellows [180]

“Fucking - damn it, Lavellan, do you think I’m doing this to be an asshole?” Bull snaps, temper at the point of steaming, long past boiling and spitting and scalding, now transforming and transformative. “I am doing this because it is my job. It is my duty. I’m your bodyguard. I protect you from what’s out there.”

Bull jabs his finger in the general direction of not this underground bunker where they’re hiding and building and regrouping and recovering and have been trapped together here for weeks with nothing to do but reconstruction and repairs and renovations and revenge.

That drugged up fucker is going to pay for Haven. Most of those people weren’t even Inquisition, they were just there out of circumstance - stranded by the war between the police and the army and the renegade gangs and the shattered remains of the Circle and the fragmenting Templars. They were not part of this.

“I protect you from hitmen, assassins; I keep you safe from rival gangs and from dumb upstarts who want to try shit with you; I keep you safe from bullets and knives and bombs and poison attempts and other spies. I protect you from them, Lavellan. I do not protect you from you. I can’t. You’re bleeding heart is going to get you killed.”

Lavellan’s face twists in pain and Bull wishes he could say that he hates he put it there. But in this moment he doesn’t because he needs to her to understand that he can’t do this.

“It doesn’t matter how much I try or what I do if you keep inviting the danger in,” Bull says, “These are mistakes that are going to come back to get you. I can’t keep up. I’m doing this for you. Everything I do - everything I think of is for you. It’s to keep you safe. It’s to do my job, my duty to you, what you pay me to do. What you keep me around for. And half of that is to limit the risks around you that could turn into damn problems. Do you understand me? You are too important to loose.”

“You can’t keep me in a bubble, you can’t force my actions to keep me safe,” Lavellan snaps.

“I’m not trying to, you aren’t understanding me,” Bull runs a hand over his head, frustration making his palms hot with trapped anger. “I’m not trying to keep you in an fucking bubble. If I wanted you in a damn bubble I would’ve locked you in the vault. I’m trying to limit the ways danger can get access to you. But you’re inviting in all these people left and right without checks or promises or any sort of reassurance and that has to stop. That has to stop before you let something in that we can’t get rid of.”

“We already have a spy,” Lavellan sneers and Bull’s knuckles crack as he presses his hands against his sides. “These people aren’t dangerous, these people are here to help us. They want the Red Templars and the Red lyrium off the streets as much as we do.”

“It isn’t about that,” Bull says, “Do you think I’m doing this to be cruel? When have you ever known me to be cruel like that, Lavellan?”

Lavellan’s eyes catch his and snag, he feels the threatening rip of a wound about to be torn open again. He almost regrets his words.

“Dorian,” She says, the first rip of skin, “I’ve known you to be cruel with Dorian. When the two of you were together, for that short amount of time. You two were absolutely wretched to each other. You were unrecognizable in your bitter hate of each other. I didn’t know either of you. For a while I hated you both. You hated him and you made him feel good and you made him hate it. And he hated you just as much, you turned your hate on each other and I wanted to kill you both for it. Yes, Hissrad, I have known you to be purposefully cruel. And I know that this isn’t it. But whether you like it or not this is your duty. And if you dislike it so much you can damn well leave. Quit.”

Bull’s anger collapses like a black and not-quite yet dying star. It purifies. It refines. It burns to its truest self.

“You know I won’t.”

“Do you want me to fire you?” She whispers, “Is that what you want? Do you want to be free of me? Of this? Shall I tell the Qun that you’ve failed, that you’re no longer worthy to serve? Should I tell them that you are not fit to ever return?”

His hand would close around her throat and she would be silent before anyone could come.

Bull’s anger spins a slow, tearing circle in his chest, ripping bones with the terrible force of its gravity.

“No,” He says, just as soft, no less furious.

“Then you do what I tell you,” She says, “And you don’t ever undermine me like that again. Am I understood?”

“Yes.”

“So you were right.”

That’s what she says to him, as soon as he finds her, lying there like someone’s lost toy. She’s flat on her back, almost like a snow-angel with how pale she is - blood loss against the black burned and ashy ground - except that she’s missing her arm up to her elbow.

“Where is he?”

His own voice sounds like it’s being snarled into his ear instead of coming out of his mouth. It sounds like somebody else.

And then he is on his knees, the fabric of his combat uniform growing sticky with blood as he gently puts his hand underneath her neck, fingers sliding through the tacky and gritty texture of her blood and ash coated hair as he gently rolls her into his arms.

“My bleeding heart did kill me one day,” She says, eyes half open as she stares blankly up at the sky. She looks defeated. She looks crushed. She looks hollowed and empty.

There is fire in his palms and violence in his chest and a raging storm of bone and shrapnel spinning inside of him and Solas isn’t even here for him to take it out on.

“Hey,” She says and his eye focuses on her, the blood flecks on her face, the colorless almost waxy pallor of it, the black ash and the hair that’s fallen into it, stuck. “I’m sorry.”

“No,” Bull says.

It means a lot of things, that no.

No, don’t leave like this. No, don’t give up. No, don’t be sorry. No, this isn’t over. No, don’t say it like that. No, you aren’t gone yet. No, you don’t get to leave like this. No, this is not how you leave my life after all the things you’ve done to remake it for me. No, this is not how I will remember you. No, this is not how you will remember me. No, this is not how I lose you. No, you don’t get to just give up this way. No, you don’t get to have this kind of ending. No, you don’t get to lie to me or hide things from me or think to try and conceal the truth because you think it’s better for me because you don’t know what the fuck is better for me, I know what’s better for me and it would have been you telling me from the damn start that I was going to lose you but it should never have been like this.

It’s also simply - no.

She understands.

She doesn’t smile, she doesn’t say anything else.

She just -

She just looks at him. Like she’s trying to keep the lines of his face with her.

“Don’t,” He says, begs. He’s never been above begging.

“No,” Lavellan says. And it means a lot of things, too, this no.

Bull refuses all of them.

“You don’t get to escape me like that,” Bull says, “You don’t get to run away from me, from us this way. Do you understand me? You’re going to fucking live, and you’re not going to fade away from us like this. Do you understand?”

Lavellan’s breathing is a wet, whisper.

He takes that as a yes.
