#i have like. 5 different game ideas I want to pursue atm.

[holydramon]

it is so fun being a person with 10 million project ideas I love never being able to focus on things (lying)

[hisokas-long-toenails]

HELLO✨✨ I hope this finds you well! If you’re doing requests atm, I wanted to ask: how would Hisoka, Illumi, Chrollo and Paristan react to their crush or interest trying to woo them first? Like the whole wine and dine thing, odd attempts at flirting or something? However you would woo them lmao is this a weird ask?!?! 😩 Please don’t answer if you don’t want to!! Thank you 💗🌚 I absolutely adore everything you’ve written 👀👌🏼

Sorry this took forever, I’ve been trying to hit the gym after work again.  Aaaah, thank you so much. And thank you for including my beloved rat man. I assume you mean like “they already sort of like you, but how would one even TRY to woo them first in that context” First of all, as much as I love all of these characters, I feel so bad for you if any of these dudes had a crush on you. I don’t know what you did in life to deserve this misery but here we go. Hisoka: You know, there’s the obvious, “hey, wanna fight” but honestly he might/will probably end up killing you if that’s how you flirt. Then again, wanting to date Hisoka is basically admitting to having a death wish, in which case good job! You did it! But to like, date him date him? That’s tough. It’d probably have to involve inviting him to join you on some mission or adventure thats dangerous and promises a good time. Maybe it’ll involve a strong individual for him to fight, but we know it doesn’t have to. He did play a game of high stakes dodgeball just for the hell of it because he was bored and had time to kill. And you know what? He’d love being pursued. He might make it hard for you for the hell of it, but he doesn’t seem to have a lot of people on his side for very obvious reasons, and having a crush who just pops in sometimes with a “hey, wanna fuck some shit up? But like, romantically. As a date” would be a welcome presence to him. Illumi WILL 3rd wheel, and you WILL have to deal with/enjoy it because you’re in a triad now. You don’t have a say in it. It’s what Hisoka would want. Illumi:  Okay, so Illumi is odd, right? If he had a crush on you I feel like he’d just… show up and be around when he was free. He probably wouldn’t even know why he was doing it. I’m not sure he’d initially even realize you were trying to woo him regardless of how you were doing it, if we’re being honest. I don’t think he really has an idea of what love or affection look like, hence the tendency to sort of loiter around you when not busy instead of flirting with you or trying to date. Because of this, I actually feel like you’d have to make the first move. This is all on you unless his parents were trying to arrange it. So, you’d ask him to dinner. He’d think it was just dinner. You’d ask him to go kill or fight someone. He’d think it was just work. You’d flirt and try to make physical contact with him to make your intentions clear and he’d wonder why you kept touching his arm (and get mad if you’re accidentally tickling him). You’d probably have to literally say “hey, I want you to help me train so that we know I’m a suitable romantic partner for you” and then I think he’d get it, and immediate start your torture training because he’s been meaning to tell you that your pain tolerance isn’t enough. I don’t think there’d be a true romancing stage to dating him, just a work partner or a romantic partner.  He’d be elated, though, but have that same expressionless face that you’ll have to live with. Maybe you’ll get a very brief smile and I’m so sorry if you do because he’s terrifying when he expresses emotions on his face with those big dead empty ass eyes. Sometimes Hisoka will be there but probably less than Illumi would be there in the opposite situation. Hell, Hisoka might play a big part in helping you two get together. Who knows Illumi better? 

Chrollo: You know, I actually think he’d be the easiest to try to woo. He’s clearly got some identity issues and sort of uses others to find and define himself. If he was already finding himself infatuated with you, you just have to try to give him a sense of purpose or help him question life. He’d probably like and understand the romantic intent behind dinner and a movie. He’d enjoying normal dating stuff way more than any of the others, even if I think his way of flirting back would be very different and probably involve a lot of weird stolen shit he likes. It’s as if he’s a crow or a magpie or something. But the way to actually flirt with him? Just talk about philosophy. It doesn’t even have to be that deep. Do you remember being a teen or young adult and desperately wanting to figure yourself, filling the void you felt with objects, and massively consuming ANYTHING about the meaning of life in an attempt to finding yourself.  (no? Just me?) Well, that’s just his permanent state. The troupe gives him a lot of purpose but that’s still something he needs to constantly feed off of. You can throw out some quote about life from a book you’re reading (because being well read is sort of a requirement to get into his heart romantically, I think) and he’ll just fucking swoon. Read a YA novel, because I doubt those are on his “to read” list, and say some John Green ass shit about being alive and in love and he’s instantly going to be putty because that’s so far out of the realm of what he reads in literature. And yeah, he’d love the attention. 

Pariston: Only partially related, but I sort of have this HC that Pariston could actually become (at least temporarily) infatuated with someone if they kept catching him off guard with self deprecating humor and actually enjoyed being roasted. Like, You’d get a backhanded compliment from him so you meet the insult with a laugh and saying something worse about yourself all while seeming completely unphased. I’m sure most hunters have some sort of ego and the lack of one might be a surprising and fun change. ANYWAY. I’m not sure Pariston would actually let someone pursue him. You might think that you’re going to wine and dine him, but he’s just pretending to play along. Dude has some control issues, to the point where even when he doesn’t care about something he’s going to mess with shit to see if he can. Add that into him actually kind of caring for you? Yikes. He’d like nice things, but if you tried to take him to a 5 star restaurant that he isn’t feeling that night, something bad will happen and you’ll end up where he wants to go. If he doesn’t like your attempt at a classy or sexy outfit that outfit will get ruined. He’d probably turn the whole thing around to look like prince charming by getting you something twice as nice, but he’ll probably also hold it over your head that he did so. He’d probably love the fact that someone was trying, though. Which obviously means he’d also be trying extra hard to make the whole thing bad, but quite frankly that’s just what you’re signing up for. You’d probably have to catch on to him and start playing his game to keep him interested, or at the very least react in ways he enjoys, or be interesting for other reasons than your ability to manipulate situations. If you somehow managed to get him on a date to some kinda cheesy themed restaurant (think rainforest cafe) he’ll be impressed and infuriated. He’d be plotting how to ruin the rest of your week, which would conveniently require him to spend all of his time with you and him giving you a lot of attention. You know, for a punishment.

monster prom pop quiz results

I was bored, so I decided to try and record all the questions and answers in Monster Prom’s Stupidest Pop Quiz Ever(tm). It’s really likely I haven’t found them all, so I’ll come back and add to this from time to time.

The pop quiz consists of three questions; the first two go towards determining your highest stats at the beginning of the game, while the third chooses your possible prom date (this isn’t set in stone; you can still try to pursue a different character in the actual game). The order of the questions is randomized.

Other links: Vera Walkthrough

You can find the questions and their results under the cut!

I'm glad you guys (Alex and Seabee) think so highly of each others' opinions. I find it odd, to say the least, that having spent so much time and energy observing the avoidable absurdities of life in the UAE (ID cards, road planning etc.), you both find Hari's pieces so objectionable. For sure he has sensationalised and selectively quoted evidence to support a devastating thesis about Dubai. I too initially bridled at his Independent article. This was not my Dubai! Then I watched the sanctimonious spluttering outrage of the local commentators, who seem to reserve the right to criticise Dubai all to themselves (present company very much included). None of you addressed any of the serious contentions he made, the dark heart of contradictions that sustains this place, and the lights slowly went on for me. As expats here we have to rationalise our presence and construct a reality that allows us to comfortably pursue our lives. We don't always see things as clearly as a dispassionate external observer - we NEED Dubai to be ok, acceptable, justifiable. Denial works - but I'm in remission finally. It's clear to me now that Hari has got closer to the truth of this place than any number of colour pieces about etislat connections or snickets. And talk to people back home, wherever that may be, honestly and openly, not seeking reassurance about why you're here.

It's as easy as taking a few business ideas you have and researching them online. You can find all sorts of opportunities to start your own business, as well as find others who are doing the same thing. How to find what you need.

Airports aren't really known for their "fun" factor especially during holiday travel. As Matt and I prepare for the 14 hour trek home for Christmas I'm already mentally preparing myself for the minefield that is the holiday flight to JFK. However, it turns out there are a few ways to make people smile in airports: upgrade them to business class, a sale at duty free, tell them the plane will be arriving early, and a flash mob! Terminal 1 played host to an energetic group of Fly Dubai air hostesses, Duty Free staff, passerbyers, and a few crazy kids who joined forces to bring us our very own flash mob in the Dubai (DXB) Airport. If you are looking for some fun and to put a smile on your face I highly recommend the below five minutes! The other great observation is the mix of people not only participating but watching the mob. Heck, if this happened at Christmas I might be willing to miss my flight - who am I kidding I would have joined in!

It's always someone else's fault isn't it. How can we stand by and allow this to go on? They wrote the names of the dead children on their plastic shrouds. Israel claimed that missiles had been fired by Hizbollah gunmen from the south Lebanese town of Qana ­ as if that justified this massacre. That culture has crept into adult public life, so now we have our politicians routinely refusing to take responsibility for their actions. This is just another example. Please also read Babykaos' beautifully written item 'Baby's Black Balloon'. Far too late Dr Rice. THE 19-day-old war in the Middle East has reached a turning point, with Israel's deadliest attack yet killing 54 people in southern Lebanon and the United States declaring it is time for a ceasefire.

Images of dead children - 37 children, police said - being dragged from the building in Qana, southern Lebanon provoked international condemnation and shattered the ceasefire talks. Prime Minister, Ehud Olmert, vowed the offensive in Lebanon would continue. In Singapore last week we had plenty of excellent food, fresh ingredients cooked in open kitchens where we could see it all. Of all the horrific photos coming out of Lebanon/Israel/Gaza this is the one that disturbed me the most. I draw no distinction between nationalities. Whether these schoolgirls were Israeli or Palestinian or anything else I would be appalled. To teach such hatred, such disregard for human life, to children is a despicable, disgusting, irresponsible, inhuman act.

These shells are going to kill or maim other people, quite possibly other children. Teaching children to gloat over that is a crime against humanity. I'm naive I know, but I believe that all countries and people have the right to defend themselves. However, in the current climate pre-emptive strikes and defending yourself is the right of a very small select club. Non-members are terrorists if they dare to even think about it. I hope all members in Haifa are safe. Well I hope that too, but Haifa only? No thought for Forum members from Lebanon. Not surprisingly, given the way the news is managed and presented in the Land Of The Free, the poster is American. No thought for the people in Lebanon so here are photos from today's Gulf News.

They're people too, just like the rest of us. Oh COME ON it's illegal! One day after promising to return them, the management of Skycom, a call centre in Dubai Internet City, is continuing to illegally hold its employees’ passports. In a meeting between the staff and the management on Saturday, the company agreed to return all the passports it was holding but employees told 7DAYS yesterday that Skycom has failed to do so. Rashad Akbar, global operations manager of Skycom, told 7DAYS yesterday that he would only return passports of workers who were leaving the company. “We will send them back and return their passports at the airport,” he said, refusing to comment on the rest of his employees.

I simply don't understand. Holding employees' passports is illegal under UAE law. Why is no action being taken against this company? And others who also routinely break the law? What is the point of passing laws if you're not going to enforce them. Each time I come into Dubai Airport I swear the hike from the aircraft to the taxi stand takes almost as long as the flight. Is there another airport with such huge distances to walk? Eventually I do come to the end of it all and then into the e-gate machine. What a great time-saving invention that is, full marks for that. On to the taxi stand and, for the second consecutive time, a female taxi driver.

Smart & clean in her uniform, polite, drove all the way down Sheikh Zayed Road to Dubai Marina below the speed limit and correctly using the indicators. I'll repeat that - below the speed limit and correctly using the indicators. A male taxi driver who overtook us seemed to find a female driver a novelty. He glanced into our cab as he screamed passed, dropped back then pulled alongside gabbling at his three European passengers while pointing at our driveress. Stayed alongside for about a kilometre, eventually got bored so did the big macho number and hit the accelerator hard. Singapore daytime was 31C and 'orribly 'umid - Dubai was the same at 3am. I actually found the humidity there much more oppressive, but I sure didn't miss the dust that swamped us as we drove through 'New Dubai'. I agree with Gulf News!

My feelings are v complicated ATM.

1. I hate that I love a sport that is divided into two genders 2. I hate that people think I'm woman because I'm not and I'm coming to terms with that but like, I'm really not and I'm also not a man. Far from being a man. 3. I am allowed to be feminine as hell and still not need to be called female. 4. I do get frustrated that my fashion icons ATM are Nick Cave and Brian Molko. I mean I fucking wish my hair was long enough that it could be HAIM but my icons feel more realistic. 5. I am v stressed 6. I am in an incredible delicate over sharing place ATM and I really hate people knowing my real personal business. The overstaring is a part of my ADHD that I control and I don't have a happy medium. 7. I don't like myself 8. I constantly wish I could disappear and just be a voyeur. 9. I don't enjoy attention, I just have a disability that seems to demand it at times. 10. I wish I could stay in bed forever and never talk to anyone 11. I am v anxious 12. I wish I was good enough 13. I try really hard to be a decent human like way too hard because I'm afraid of being a bad person 14. Not about me. Addiction is an illness, stop giving your friends with different illnesses concessions and not your addicted friends. Addiction is a copping mechanism for illnesses. I'm not saying excuse that shit thing they did but stop acting like they did drugs because they thought they would be fun and cool. They do drugs because nothing in their life was fun and cool, it was probably v trauma/trigger filled for them or just plain depressive so they burrowed into a new mindset to avoid the life they were dealt. Maybe if our society didn't stigmatize the mentally ill and had it normalized so we were told to get regular mental health check ups like we are supposed to get our teeth cleaned or eyes checked then maybe we could save more of our friends. If your friend abused you while intoxicated that's still their fault. 15. When will I finally fall into pieces and crumble into dust? 16. How do I live with myself, just like who even likes me, lol? Right! 17. Protect me from myself 18. I feel alienated 99.9% of the time 19. Dissociating and panic attacks are feel so not cool and no one will give me Valium to survive being alive. 20. Please protect my friends 21. I wish I was good at making music. I have a lot of feelings and ideas for songs and I have no outlet. 22. Everyone I know is better than me at all the things I wish I was good at. 23. I feel more like an 👽 than a person 24. In real life I am way less femme in my general life 25. I am bisexual and my fear of rejection and the constant homophobia from the straight community and the biphobia of the gay community that I grew up around made it impossible me to pursue a comfortable vagina & vagina relationship. 26. My boyfriend is great, honestly will protect with my life. Not irrationally, if he is mean or jerky I call him out. But he is a wholesome meme. 27. Don't, cheers. 28. CW: abuse. Don't dispute me about bands that I tell you are abusive because when everyone turns around and say "this person abused X amount of people" you'll feel real silly and bad about the fact that you didn't start disliking them sooner. Just because you liked them without knowing they were shit doesn't mean you're a bad person but if you continue you to like them that's pretty crap behavior. Not to mention the fact that I've been involved with music and been friends with people involved with music for an incredibly long time. That and you are letting down your friends/yourself as a victim of abuse. I met my abusers through the highly rated approval of my peers and social media, so don't tell me supporting monsters doesn't affect their ability to reach victims, also I understand it's hard to escape monsters too. You don't have to notify people just don't give them fuel. 29. CW: abuse. Just because someone consented to the initial sex, or to sex the night before doesn't mean you can touch their genitals ever again. Like EVER. Sometimes it's a simple "WAnT TO FUQ" while you are alone and boom, done. 30. CW: Transphobia. Don't use the term transvestite, they are either a man or a woman or a non binary/gender queer person (which has a range of terminology that we are all separately comfortable with) and even then it's literally not okay to play a guessing game with someone's genitals if they give you their pronouns. Plus there are heaps of intersex people on the world so you don't know shit about gender and genital politics. They aren't "totally a dude" because if they said "Hi, I'm Sally" and her profile says *female* so whether you like it or not some females (We're not assuming Sally has a penis but) have penis' and you just said you like females, you didn't say "I only want females with vaginas" which would still be weird to me, because *men* can have vaginas, so like your decision to think you exclusively like vaginas is also wrong what you really mean is "I am attracted to typically cis gender people and I have never been taught about trans people in a way that isn't transphobic and I am not going to allow myself to feel bad for being awful and exclusionary to a transperson" you should just not bother that person for their sake. Also don't blame transpeople for your lack of knowledge they have always existed we just never fit into the patriarchal system in which oppresses is by restricting knowledge to create a class power system but also I understand people have learning issues but like if children can be taught mum and Dad and men and women, names, etc. they can just call people different things and science is open to gender fluidity, so if you are an atheist and you believe in science and you're a transphobe, you lied and don't believe in science. No one is saying you have to date anymore, maybe you shouldn't until you learn to be less of a TERF? ALSO cis people are literally never expected to say "hi, I'm Genevieve and I have a vagina" on their profile because people assume which is sooooooo ridiculous. 30. CW: homophobia If you make jokes at the expense of gay men to do with the possible eating of arseholes which might I add is silly because everyone who has sex has sexual preferences during sex and some people don't even physically touch each other during sexual encounters anyway if you eat red meat sausages you've most probably already eaten a lots of arseholes in your life time anyway. Both were for pleasure. So stop picking and choosing for your own homophobic advantage. *if you have something rude to say enjoy 27 then refer to 7 to leave my aching body alone

[tsqdance]

It’s no secret that electronic music can be incredibly popular during times of recession due to how inexpensive it generally is to create it. As a result of computers being used as instruments for creation, there’s been a wave of young bedroom artists that have been able to create and distribute and perform their art in such a way that had previously been impossible due to lack of capital. Instrumental hip-hop producers like Clams Casino, Friendzone, and Star Slinger caught a bunch of people’s attention in the early 2010′s with beats co-opted by big name rappers, and now young guys and girls in their homes are making no budget beats whose heart and style rival some of the best known producers in the game, and no one knows about them outside of those of us who know how to dig. Nearing the end of the decade, we have several lesser known veins of emotional trap-influenced music, offshoots like sadboys and vaportrap, and the thirst for the union between dark hard bass-heavy percussion and emotional ambience doesn’t seem to be slaked. One such purveyor of that general vibe is Brant Hunter. His project is named Feels, he has a handful of releases under his belt, and he reached out to me with some thoughts on his experience.

1. What is the story behind the moniker "Feels"?

I started the moniker “Feels” in early 2012 or so, as an alternate moniker to my then current one, “Stelliform”. Stelliform was an ambient / drone project of mine, and once beats started to infiltrate my music, I knew it was different enough to warrant having an alternate name. There isn’t very much behind the name itself. Back when I came up with it, “Feels” was, and still is, my favorite album by Animal Collective; Which is a band I will probably cherish forever, even if they’ve never truly influenced the sound of the project that was named after it. I must also touch base on the fact that prior to the name choice, I didn’t know “feels” was a fairly popular meme at the time.

2. How would you describe your own music?

I try not to. I definitely like to hear how other people hear the music, because I know their thoughts probably don’t quite match how I think it sounds. It’s gone through quite a few changes over the years, but if I had to describe some of the traits that have stayed the same, I would have to say that It’s always atmospheric, and a bit repetitive. With Feels, it’s always been made with the idea that maybe a rapper or vocalist would use the tracks as instrumentals for their project, so most of the tracks might feel minimal or maybe even a little incomplete, but I definitely try to put enough in there to have them stand up on their own too, ya know?

3. What are your greatest influences (artists, experiences, weather, etc.)?

Something that really influenced me after I read it and I think about a lot, is the story of how Yasunori Mitsuda composed the music for Super Nintendo game, Chrono Trigger. To paraphrase, he was unhappy with the position he was working in at Square as a sound effects engineer, and wanted to be a composer for the company. He demanded for his boss to let him compose, which he was then assigned to be the sole composer on Chrono Trigger. He worked himself to the point of passing out on a nightly basis, frequently waking up with new ideas for the score. He worked himself to the point of developing stomach ulcers, leading him to be hospitalized, and having another composer have to step in and finish for him. Whenever I don’t feel motivated to make music, (Which is more and more it seems), I always think about Mitsuda, and how he made things happen for himself, and how nothing else mattered to him except his art.

As far as personal experiences, my influences can easily be traced back to a few particular sources from my childhood. I usually tell people David Wise’s score to Donkey Kong Country 2 on Super specifically is and always will be the thing that keeps me pursuing a life involved in music. Everything about that music evokes every kind of emotion in me. Anyone who has played that game as a kid will know what I mean. My other influences come from scattered memories of being younger, and my music is a medium to try and replicate those feelings I had. Like playing Crash Bandicoot 2 for the first time in a Blockbuster; Watching Goosebumps on tv and seeing all the commercials and PSAs; Being with my parents in various department stores in the late nineties.

A countless number of different artists have actually impacted the sound of my music through their influence. So much so, that I even named one of my Stelliform compilations, “Impressions”, as a reference to me thinking that most of my songs were me just doing impressions or renditions of my favorite artists. To name drop some of the big ones though, they would be: Machinedrum, Daniel Lopatin, FRIENDZONE, Clams Casino, Autechre, James Ferraro, Andy Stott, Vangelis, and definitely a few others that I’m missing atm.

4. What is your opinion on the ever-changing structure of independent music?

That’s a heavy question, and one that I don’t have a definite answer on. I guess it’s just been hard for me to keep up with the politics of it. As far as it affects me, I guess it makes me feel like I have a maybe slightly higher chance of getting somewhere with my music, as the current structure provides a more versatile platform for artists like myself to find an audience, however niche the music might be. There are certainly a lot more options out there to get yourself into a better position, such as crowd funding and Youtube channels, but I do feel that it creates a serious lack of emphasis put on the quality of the music, and a lot more focus on the less important things, or, what I see as less important, like ones commitment to networking, aesthetic choices, or simply how engaging you can be to your audience.

5. Does making music pay the bills? Is it more of a dedicated hobby?

Unfortunately, music doesn’t and hasn’t ever paid the bills. Though it is my absolute goal to make that become a reality. As it stands, music can only be considered a hobby for me, because I think one of the descriptors of being a professional is making money from your craft. The biggest obstacle for me to overcome right now is answering the questions that I pose to myself, “Who can I market my music to, and where can I find the appropriate circumstances to create jobs from it?” I’m considering my options, but unfortunately I don’t really know how to elevate things into the next stage.

6. What do you do for a living, and do you like it?

I’m a server and manager at a chain breakfast restaurant. This is what pays the bills for me, and has allowed me to fund all my music gear expenses. Do I like it? No. I mean, maybe I used to, and day to day I get through it just fine, but now I feel that my time there is time that could be better used elsewhere, and as life piles more and more things onto me, it seems less and less likely that it is something that can sustain me much farther. I really have no fall back, and naively enough, I would always sort of hold on hope that music could maybe take me somewhere.

7. What are some other things you enjoy about life besides art?

I’ve always loved video games; I’ve been collecting games for a long time, too. Mostly Playstation 1 era and Super Nintendo, but I’m also into modern console games; my favorites being Rocket league and Star Wars Battlefront. I’m big into streetwear and vintage clothing as well. I’m always wearing brands like Raised By Wolves, Champion, Starter, Supreme, etc. I’m also a big hockey fan, and watch a game on TV every night that I can. The New York Rangers are my favorite team. Other than that, I’m usually watching shows with my girlfriend or playing LEGO and Playmobil with my kids.

8. As a known music fan, what are some of best musical experiences you have had with other people's music?

My favorite records are always my favorite because I’ve had some sort of memorable moment attached to them. Whether that means I found them at the right time in my life, or maybe they opened my eyes to something. For example, when The National’s album “Trouble Will Find Me” came out, it was shortly after my first child was born, and I can vividly remember walking him back and fourth in my first apartment singing along to the record, trying to get him to sleep. I’ll always remember that. I’ll always remember the first time I heard “The Glow Pt. 2” by The Microphones, and how I was devastated by the way I could hear Phil Elverum’s teenage heartbreak. “Instrumentals” by Clams Casino is a record that changed my life in the way that I saw music. He so efficiently combined ambient sounds with hip hop beats, opening up an entire world of music to me, which together with FRIENDZONE’s “Collection 1”, I totally credit to the creation of Feels.

9. Also, what are some of the most memorable moments for you in your own musical journey?

My favorite moments in music actually come from when I played with my good friend in his music project, at the time called “Sea Glasses”. It was just him and I, and we would mostly just practice in his parents house and play various live shows around Halifax. We had a lot of good times, playing everything from cd stores to festivals. We opened up for Julie Doiron at the Halifax Pop Explosion; We were heckled at a dive of a bar by a guy that looked like Axl Rose; We even held our own show in the middle of a snowstorm to a crowd that consisted of mostly only the other bands that were playing. I thought his music was incredible, and it was criminal how overlooked his tunes were in this city. He ended up moving to another province to go to school, and I’ve failed to find anything else quite like the dynamic that we had.
