Marshall revealing his new song to Y/N

Pairing: Eminem x Fem¡Reader

Warnings: 🔞 MATURE READ AT YOUR OWN RISK

Recommended song: Remind Me - Eminem, In Too Deep - Eminem

Author's note: Hey, guys! I was so bored and I wrote this. I may delete it later or idk. Hope you all enjoy it. I love you guys so much! Sending all of you a warm hug🫂🤍

■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■♡■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

"I have a surprise for you" Marshall said to me as he enter the living room. Inmediatly I turn off the tv and give all my attention to him. "Guess what" he said.

"What?"

"The song is complete!"

"Whoa baby!"

Here's the thing. He told me he was writting a song about us, but that's it. He didn't talk about ever again. Even if I asked him about it he had changed the topic. So, I was very nervous about it. Because this has happened before. It was with the Revival album. That one song called Remind Me. That one was for me. I still remember when he show me that song.

" did you...That's my fav rock&roll song!" I said when I heared the beat.

"Yeah, that's the song you kept singin' and singin' while you're cooking" he said wanted to laugh at me.

I loved that song. Perfect combination but it was crazy. I mean...he did that for me? He united rock&roll and rap that was so crazy.

"Damn, that's crazy babe" I said.

"See y/n, u make me do things I normally wouldn't do"

"Awww, I love it and I love you baby!"

So, this time I was really nervous because I've been singin' a lot and very different genres. And Marshall...Well, he is so crazy. I didn't know what to expect.

"Are we going to the studio?" I asked him ready to go change if needed.

"No, let's just get in the car". So, we got inside his car. "Are u okay?" suddenly he asked me.

"Yeah, I'm good! I need to hear your song!"

I got too excited and I get very excited when I'm nervous I don't know why, but It's like I got a lot of energy all of the sudden. Anyways, so he says:

"Okay, okay but you need to know that I just got the final mix and I haven't heard it. I mean I know the entire song but I didn't hear the final mix yet" he explained.

"Omg..."

"What?"

"Wait, let me just make myself comfortable" I said while adjustin' my seat a little bit.

At this point he doesn't even hide that he's laughing at me.

"Ready?"

"Yeah, ready"

"Wait, look at me" he ordered and I obey. "I love you"

"Okay, now play the song!"

"Yo, say it back!" he replied.

"I love you, babe!"

And so the music started and he is lip singin': "This could never work, " is what we said at first. But whatever this is, it's working. But we're in two different worlds and (yeah) I'm not your husband (nah), you ain't my girlfriend. All I know is that (what?) When I'm with you, I'm a different person, yeah. And I ain't never met a chick as perfect. Girl, you're a ten, so here I am (yeah)

I literely screamed and Marshall had to stop the music.

"No, keep it goin'!" I argue.

He laughed and let the music continue: ...Can't tell if I'm cheating on her with you or cheating on you with her. But really, nobody's at fault, can't help who you love. Hope they don't ever hear us talk

'Cause we both are getting sloppy. Probably subconsciously part of me's hoping we get caught 'cause I'm not happy here (nah)

With her. Rather have you (yeah) Rather have me too. 'Cause you're not happy there (you're not happy there) With him. Rather have me (I know, but) We just in too deep (I'm in way too deep)

Marshall started singin' it out loud and I was vibin' with it the whole time. It was a good damn song. Honestly, I loved it. It truly was about us, about the start of our relationship, but there were a few things that weren't true like me havin' a wedding ring. It should say: I got a wedding ring. So it's her instead of you.

"That's it. What do u think?" he said not being able to stop smilin'

"Please, play the song one more time"

And he started to laugh again.

"Marshall!"

"Are for real? Did you loved it?" he was surprised.

"Yes, I love it!"

"Y/n..." he laughs again.

"Marshall! You're being so freakin' annoying. Play the song one more time!"

"Yo, you are just sayin that. You didn't loved it!"

"What? I do love it! Marshall!"

"Okay, okay"

He played the song again.

"I'm gonna cry" I said.

"Yo, you're hillarious!"

"That song is good as hell!"

Another thought came.

Dean pretending not to be a swiftie with his swftie sister.

Dean pretends he doesn't care about Travis and Taylor's relationship when he probably watched the Superbowl with his little sister and hoped the Chiefs would win.

Dean pretends that he did learn the entire Eras Tour setlist because his sister is always listening to it and pretends that the playlist of songs that are played on the Impala is ONLY because his sister likes that music.

Dean pretends that he made friendship bracelets with his sister, Cas and Sam just so they don't have a bonding moment and not because he finds it funny and reminds him of his childhood.

Dean pretends he knows about Taylor's new album because his sister has been talking about it and not because Dean actually follows Taylor on Instagram.

I can do this with a broken heart it's so Dean Winchester 😭

Dean pretends he watched the Eras Tour film on Disney+ just because his sister was watching it and he definitely doesn't put it in his room when he's bored.

Finally, when his sister told him that her friend was sick and couldn't go to the Eras Tour with her, Dean obviously only went to accompany his sister and not because he really wanted to go and he was embarrassed to tell his sister that he wanted to go with her (the friend never really existed, the Winchester sister knows that Dean likes Taylor but she doesn't say anything so as not to make him uncomfortable)

Cas, Sam and Sister Winchester know that Dean likes Taylor but they don't say anything haha

Also I don't know why I feel like Sam likes rap, Sam is the type of person who would know the gossip about Drake and Kendrick and Sister Winchester is the swftie type who knows about Taylor and Joe or that Hayley Biber is pregnant

That's why on the impala you can listen to classic rock, the tortuerd poet deparment or they not like us

What music do you think each of the characters (Dean, Sam, Cas, Sister Winchester) listen to? I feel like Clarie is the type of person who says she doesn't like Taylor and that she's overrated and says, "Do you like Taylor Swift?"

This is literally gold, u love it

Dean would make a playlist of his favorite songs, or, as he’d say to the little sister, “songs that don’t make me want to kill myself” that he lets her play (and of course he’s secretly hoping that she’ll ask to play it)

Sam wouldn’t be a Taylor fan, although I think there would be a few songs (maybe 1989? He’s either a 1989 guy or a folklore/evermore poet boy, can’t decide) that he knows/enjoys when the sister plays them.

I think Cas would either have the most boring (classical) taste in music or the most random mix-up mashup collection of every genre, there’s no in between. Like he either only listens to Beethoven or he listens to anything and everything from Broadway to rock to Taylor Swift to pop etc etc etc… (he wants to get the full human experience. If he gets into Taylor he’s definitely a ttpd fan, maybe folklore and evermore, he enjoys the poetry of the songs)

Claire seems like the type to think Taylor’s overrated, I think you’re right about that.

Jack. Is. The. Biggest. Swiftie. Hands down, no doubt about it. He doesn’t understand the celebrity drama AT ALL, but he’s happy to listen to anyone’s rants and/or descriptions of what the songs mean/who they’re about. He likes all the albums, and the little sister has to tell him any time a new album/a Taylor’s Version drops, because he doesn’t know how to keep up with that stuff, but as soon as anything new drops he and the little sister sit in her room and spend the whole day listening to it. (Ps, he’s a Lover boy) Like Cas, Jack also loves to listen to all genres of music, trying to learn as much about people as he can.

[brucequeensteen]

also people who like rock but then say they don't like rap are just so closed minded it's sad . How do you fail to see the intersections between rap and rock and the way the genres and sounds and influences overlap. what kind of sad life do people lead when they dismiss an ENTIRE genre of music that is so rich and diverse and is influenced by so much other culture AND influences so much other culture . you cannot like thrash metal or hard rock and then dismiss gangsta rap or hip hop as something beneath you or unenjoyable to you. you just told me you like fast tempo and loud energetic sounds and you're telling me you can't listen to a genre that utilises that to the max AND revolves around clever wordplay and pure poetry and an addictive rhythm that both complements and contrasts the music and the beat okay i know i sound pretentious rn but I just cannot stand people who say "I don't like [genre]" because it just shows an insane level of ignorance and an insane lack of curiosity. no one in the world can make a blanket statement about any genre or artistic movement because there's literally going to be something for everyone that's how diverse it is that's how deep it goes. Literally rap is one of thee biggest musical genres ever there's rap everywhere in every country and influences in every genre you are just boring and stupid if you say you "can't get into it". Just try like. open your mind to new experiences . this is the age of the Internet it is literally so easy to get into new music genres stop boxing yourself into these ridiculous little walls you're limiting yourself and youre being racist

succession s4 e5 recap: swedish elon and his logan roy tribute band

time is a flat circle and we are back to ken hyping himself listening to rap, driving to the office.

anyone feeling nostalgic yet?

he is immediately caught off guard by the fact that roman and shiv are already there.

also he seems like the worst boss ever.

i really don't like ken when he is not hitting rock bottom.

(there is a movie about a sleeping robot in a cave that takes up too much time in this episode. let's not get into all that)

the old guard checks up on the CE-bros before their trip to norway.

matchy matchy<3

turns out mattson wants them all there (why wouldn't he?) so THE GANG IS GOING TO NORWAY! lets bleed the swede!*

*as a norwegian, i approve this message

mortality has set into team krank, as they put on compression socks before the flight.

krank is not here to have fun. krank has no young mistress to impress. krank is serious.

shiv has noticed ken's leaks to the media from last week because she is boss. it's the comeback we've been waiting for.

but most importantly, she is waging a very important war against tom and his stupid new sneakers:

the sibs say they can kill tom for her. that's brotherly love.

hugo is not having a good time.

i am tho.

gerri rallies the troops by shitting on europeans.

yes mommy tell me i'm weak because i have free healthcare! sit on my face

gerri for CEO. always.

they accurately depict what it is like driving in norway:

(this is why i don't have my licence)

the gang arrives in the motherland and it's beautiful, but rainy (so authentic) and are all like WHY THESE WOOD CABINS SO SMALL?!

ironic because jeremy lives in fucking denmark.

anyway, whatever this is:

I DO NOT APPROVE!

the trip up to mount olympus is interrupted by con saying he can send a picture of their dead dad to the group chat.

nobody wants to see it.

also, marcia is putting logan in a kilt like the fucking bay city rollers and con had to cancel a room full of working class whites in cleveland. the sacrifice.

they give con carte blanche for the whole funeral thing, which is probably a terrible decision.

the funeral is going to be one big campaign rally, i'm serious.

the others have to settle for a nice lil scandi brunch spread. what a hard life.

i don't say this often, but i would be hugo in this scenario, piling onto my plate like it's nobody's business.

karolina has a cute lesbian moment.

she says something in swedish at some point, but let me tell you, i understand swedish and i didn't even pick up on it. no shade to dag, but lol.

hugo doesn't understand how ski jumping works.

i thank the writers for putting this joke in there, even if literally no one other than random scandi people will get it.

it's like the opposite of danny boyle's the beach<3 give back to the community<3

roman enters negotiations and puts his fingers in the caviar.

you think i didn't notice? after all this time, you must know i notice everything.

the CE-bros make the village elders proud, as mattson offers 187 per share as long as he gets ATN.

also, gerri does a second take looking back at roman. these are the crumbs i am destined to live on, i guess. roman doesn't want to give up ATN tho, probably because 1) his dad wanted ATN 2) his dad told him he wouldn't make it at pierce and belongs at ATN 3) he is, somehow, the most rational of the siblings right now????

speaking of rational: how are we feeling about the shiv/mattson potential here? i honestly have zero objections.

shiv is like fuck yeah, sell ATN, that shit is toxic.

agreed, but who gave mencken an open line to ATN-meetings? sounds like something logan told cyd to do during one of those late night calls.

"even dad had a line" rings true zero percent. pass.

get rid of atn. word is, they don't even have tucker carlson anymore? just keep a sweater, much less racist.

we get some important leo dicap representation:

and greg is the bringer of all that is exposition, telling us there is a kill list with 8 to 9 names, ever evolving.

now, as most readers of these recaps would know, i would like to avoid spending any time on greg whatsoever (made even more poignant by the recent rumors about nick), however, this must be one of the best exchanges of dialogue ever made:

greg: da fam shiv: da fuck

that's all.

tom tells the swedes that americans don't care about the rest of the world and it's funny because it's true.

and alex being like "you're ALL related?!"

i see you, succession writers, i see you.

mattson calls waystar a parts shop and has a good take on right wing media:

"i dont think news for angry, old men works"

instead, he opts for bloomberg grey: simple, cheap, huge, ikea'd to fuck. i do love ikea.

he calls the sibs a tribute band which is harsh. even for a scandi, it's fucking harsh.

anyway, SAUNA! SAUNA! SAUNA!

GERRI. IN. SAUNA! (chant with me)

i will never forget what the succession writers took from me.

krank out here just chilling.

i've never shipped anyone more.

we are introduced to ebba. i can tell i'd have more to say on this in any other situation, but it just feels weird (all norwegian know each other, i guess).

anyone else here for the shiv/mattson dynamic?

i'm sorry, i kind of ship it????

ken wants to tank the deal and roman immediately calls him out on his destructive bullshit:

and then immediately caves.

"i think we are good at running the ship" they say after doing it for approximately 24 hours.

i wish i had their confidence.

also, pinky can't dance, according to ken, so they keep shiv out. meanwhile, she gets cozy with lukas, who asks her about her marriage (bad) and tells her he sends liters of blood to ebba (also bad).

shiv shows us why she is paid the big bucks for political advice:

we don't see the end of their night, so i'm just going to assume they fucked. because she's worth it.

also, talking up gerri and karolina? girlies stick together<3

big bi vibes here. huge. idc if she's pregnant and drinking.

meanwhile, the CE-bros use greg to leak that the negotiations are souring. why would you trust greg with anything?

in an attempt to fuck the deal, the CE-bros show a terrible film to the swedish team, as if being scandi doesn't mean you've sat through enough terrible cinema already....

we get the strangest fight in tv history:

lol @ us for thinking this was an important moment for the two of them and then it's a fight about white sneakers and fat earlobes.

i sure hope shiv fucked lukas.

roman receives a photo of his dead dad and it doesn't really put him in the right place to negotiate with mattson:

ouch.

leave it to kieran to make an emmy-worthy speech across from alex skarsgaard peeing.

the plan was: tank the deal, but in a subtle way. what they did: try and tank the deal, but in a not very subtle way. did the deal tank: no.

i hope you understand.

the question is, if a deal collapses in the woods and no one hears it, is it a SEC violation?

mattson ends up offering 192 per share. karl jizzes his pants.

shiv gives the little spelunker tom a lil treat, telling him to fire cyd.

then she asks him out?

and ignores him again because she is taking a call from mattson?

idk my dudes, but i'm into this shiv comeback.

mattson seems happy and flirty and i sure as shit hope this goes somewhere.

as long as it doesn't involve liters of frozen blood.

i have a feeling it will be all good vibes until he learns about her pregnancy. there's always something rotten in the state of denmark (or norway, or sweden, but it's all the same).

the waystar-team receives the kill list after the offer and it's very stressful for a few people who made themselves suffer through a session in the sauna:

not on the kill list: karolina gerri tom because shiv fucking did the thing!!

oh, and karl and frank are on the kill list, but i think they are just fine.

maybe the real treasure was the compression socks we made along the way.

Weremayhem: Song of beasts. Ch 13: Yoga of the Deer

 At Hannah’s house, Hannah and Janice were doing yoga. “And exhale all the negativity” said Janice as she exhaled. 

“Now, how do you feel, Hannah?” asked the blonde female. “Healed? Free?” she asked. 

“In the mood to forgive?” added Janice. Hannah turns to Janice. 

“Yeah, I feel done. You promised you’d leave after yoga.” replied the black haired female. 

“Okay, like, what if I told you that Nora said she needed you?” replied the blonde female. 

“Would, like, that change your mind?” she asked. 

“She said that?” asked Hannah in surprise. 

“Of course,” replied Janice. “Now, it’s your turn to admit that you need her,” the blonde female added. 

“Okay, sorry, but there is no therapy in the world that’ll get me to admit that I still need Nora in my life” replied Hannah. 

“Okay. Not even a healing sound bath?” asked the blonde female. Out of nowhere a gong after and Janice hits it. 

“Oh!” said the black haired female as she covered one of her ears. “Hard pass,” she added. 

“How about a therapeutic trust fall?” replied Janice as she fell backwards and lay on the ground. The blonde female let out a sound that kinda sounded like a deer, a white tailed deer. 

“Was I supposed to catch you?” asked Hannah, she didn’t even hear the deer sound the blonde female made when she fell. 

“How about a light lobotomy?” asked Janice as she held a drill, she turned it on. 

“Seems drastic” replied the black haired female. 

“How about a Karamo karma cleanse?” replied the blonde female. 

“Who’s ready to tear down some walls?” asked a man who appeared out of nowhere. 

“How did you get into my house?” asked Hannah. 

“I think the real question is, “How do I get into here?” he replied. 

“Oh, no,” said Nora’s sister. “No, don’t you dare work that beautiful healing magic on me, Karamo,” she added before she got up from the yoga mat and walked away. 

“I mean, honestly, sometimes, the best way to break through someone’s walls is to tear it down your own,” said Karamo. 

“Ooh, like, totally, but this isn’t about me” replied Janice. 

“I’m not too sure about that,” he replied in a high tone. 

“No, my life’s mission is to focus on everyone else’s problems instead of, like, my own” replied the blonde female. 

“So, maybe just zip it and stay in your lane” she added with a bit of a harsh tone as she got up. “Okay. Love you, bye” said Jancie before leaving. 

Meanwhile at Waxman’s Records, Nora walks into Penny’s office. “Knock, knock. You have a second to…” before Nora could finish what she was saying Penny cut her off. 

“Hey, don’t you ever knock?” asked Mrs. Waxman. 

“I literally walked in saying “Knock, knock” replied the black haired female. 

“Sorry, I was just wondering if you had a chance to listen to the new Mayhem song I emailed,” she added. 

“What do I know from emails?” asked the pink haired female. 

“Okay, full disclosure. I took it upon myself to take the band in a new direction” said Nora as she pulled out her phone. 

“Hurry up,” replied Penny. 

“Not a new direction, but we’re doing mumble rap, and…” Label Lady starts to say before her boss cuts her off again. 

“Just play it already!” snapped Penny. 

“Okay. Check it out” replied Nora as she clicked play. Rock version of Rockin’ Robin plays. She realized that it wasn’t the right song. 

“Wait, wait, wait. This is not the right song.” she said as she picked up her phone. 

“Then why are you still here? Leave!” replied Mrs. Waxman. 

“Leaving…Just forget this happened” replied the black haired female as she stopped the music.

 “I will be back,” she added before leaving the office with an upset look on her face. 

Nora walks outside. A male watches her leave before entering the building. His name is Zakai or know as Mr. Waxman. He was a mystic. His tan skin had beautiful swirls and wrinkles on it. His light yellow blondish hair was put up in a small man bun where his long rabbit ears couldn’t be seen. Zakai wears glasses due to his poor eyesight.   

He was wearing a pink sweater that his lovely wife, Penny made for him. The mystic also had some hand made pants that she also made for him because there are zero pants made for mystics. His second pair of arms was holding a small gift box for Penny. Mr. Waxman’s  long tail had some hair at the end like a paint brush, on top of his tail was large dark circles with a huge swirl in them. Zakai’s blue eyes move over to the door of the building and head in. 

Back with Penny, she lets out a sigh after Nora leaves. “That was close,” she said. Dr. Teeth suddenly appear from behind her chair. 

“I’ll say” he replied with his famous smile. “Now, where were we, Twinkles?” asked the doc. 

“Telling me about your kids,” Penny replied. 

“Oh! Yes!” replied the ginger haired male. “Lewis had been really into books lately. He is reading Jurassic Park right now” he said. 

“A bit of a bookworm,” she chuckles. There was a knock on the door and a voice. 

“Penny, dear?” said Zakai from the other side. Teeth got nervous and try to hide behind the chair again but Mrs. Waxman stops him.  

“Come in,” she replied. The mystic comes in with a smile on his face. 

Zakai sees Teeth and gives him a smile. “I see you have a friend here” he said as he set the gift on her desk. She rolled her eyes. 

“No, This is Dr. Teeth. The ex-boyfriend I told you about some years ago” Penny said. Teeth shyly wave. 

“Oh! Well, it’s nice to meet you. I’m Zakai Waxman, her husband” Zakai said as he hold his hand out to have the good doctor shake his hand. 

“It’s nice to meet you too, Zakai” replied Dr. Teeth as he shakes his hand. 

“What is this?” asked Penny as she pick up the small gift that her husband gave her. 

“Open it, my dear” replied the mystic. The pink haired female opens the box and her eyes get wide. It was a beautiful pearl necklace with a small chicken wing charm. 

“Aww, you didn’t” she said as she put on the necklace. “I love it,” Penny added. 

“I’m glad you love it, sweetie,” replied Zakai. 

“You two are a cute couple,” said Teeth with a soft smile.

[● I've said it once and I'll say it again. STOP PLAYING THE TRANSPHOBIC ANTISEMITIC WIZARD GAME AND PLAY MY FAVORITE VIDEO GAMES DO IT DO IT DO IT this is because I'm biased and I do not care what the differences between them are I'm literally just here to shit on Joanne, her fans, and their disgusting views, and promote games that I personally like for video game reasons.

Portal 2 is great and people with common sense know this but it's fun gameplay wise and the environments and story are fuckin amazing. For a game from 2011, the graphics look beautiful, better than some recent games I've seen. The soundtrack is also wonderful and I am in love with "Want you gone". The storyline, while told throughout several different games (including those in the Half Life storyline but Half Life is also really good but don't take my word for it because I've never played Half Life before I am indeed a fake fucking fan) is intriguing and the characters are great. The mechanics are really neat and they let you experiment a little with how you play and it makes you use your brain and really think about how you'll utilize two portals to get you around places. You know a game is good when it really challenges your intellect, and you may get stuck sometimes, but with enough thought and dedication, you'll pull through. Also the voicelines and humor is amazing, I still find myself thinking about lines from even the turrets! Also the final boss is really good and the reveal is excellently portrayed. It genuinely sent shivers down my spine. I think this is one of those games where you should avoid spoilers as much as possible and just experience it for yourself.

Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is more than just funny meme game. It's got good graphics, a beautiful story, an even better soundtrack, and fun mechanics. I got an achievement for being a huge fucking dumbass and not utilizing the mechanics until my second playthrough. I went through the broken elevator level and had no idea I could use enhanced AI to get through that and went in completely blind. I didn't know that was impressive I just thought that's how the game was. I love how the soundtrack is used to tell the stories of the antagonists and help you understand them a bit more. They're cruel, ruthless, and unjust (except for Blade Wolf, he can do no wrong), but they have reasons for what they do and the music tells you this while also being A FUCKING BANGER. THE INSTRUMENTALS GO SO HARD OH MY GOD. Also they give you the ability to cut anything and everything you want (except for the cat who does backflips and avoids getting hurt) and it is so much fun. Of course the game isn't perfect and has flaws, but it's not antisemitic or transphobic. Overall a masterpiece and the ended did make me feel things. Also play the DLCs, they're really fun and flesh out two major characters and also let you do more cool shit that you can't do as Raiden.

Sonic Adventure 2 is probably my favorite game of all time currently despite how ancient it is and the flaws it has. I. Don't. Care. What's wrong with the game. I adore it. You bet your ass I'm explaining why. The graphics hold up surprisingly well even today despite the low poly count (it's higher than Metal Gear Solid 1 and Resident Evil 1 don't worry) and the character animation isn't bad by any means. The environments for each level are beautiful despite how they vary. Radical Highway is my favorite level in the entire game and it's so much fun for no reason whatsoever. Like they put their whole developussy into this one stage and I dig it. I also really like a lot of the Knuckles/Rouge stage designs, Pumpkin Hill looks very spooky (but my worst fear is falling off the hills AAH). I also like the soundtrack, it differs depending on which character it's focused on. Knuckles has more of that lofi rap thing going on, Rouge has some nice jazz going on, Shadow has that alternative "I'm cool shit" rock going on, meanwhile Sonic sounds like that type of rock where a middle schooler finishes school and now it's summertime, I don't know how to portray it in words. I also like the Chao Garden, I love all 4 of my children they are beautiful and I love them. I also like the replayability value because you may go back to certain stages not only because they're fun, but to be able to collect animals and toys for your Chao to play with. Not to mention the activities the Chao can engage in, such as karate and racing. They also let me into hot topic I am very happy. The most I'll knock it for is the security hall voice acting, it's not awful but it's not perfect. Rouge specifically, her screams don't sound realistic at all, but I can't be too harsh because it's not like I can do better.

I guess Scott Pilgrim vs The World doesn't suck either but I'm not gonna go too far in depth with it because y'know, that's really biased and there are problems I have with it but if you like Scott Pilgrim, check it out, it's actually pretty fun tbh.

This has been Shrimp is a biased motherfucker who hates JK Rowling and Harry Potter as a whole for deep rooted personal reasons aside from the horrible shit within the book, and can't shut up about things they like and they are horrible at masking! Thanks for tuning in, if you also like these games, you are very cool. In short, play my games, boy! Don't play the bigoted wizard game. I must go, now.]

What is Jj’s favorite foods? What music does he listen too? How does he feel about being vulnerable?

ask me headcanon questions! (accepting!)

What’s JJ’s Favorite Foods?

JJs very much not a picky eater. He’ll literally eat anything and then potentially regret it later - which has been proven by that whole “mold is good for you” conversation. But he loves seafood. Fish sticks were the first solid foods he ate, shrimp and grits was the first meal he successfully made in the kitchen. Instant grits, sure, but he was 11 and Big John told him they were edible so, it was a huge success for him. He also loves fishing, and the ability to prep fish he caught for dinner that night makes him feel like he’s good at something.

What Music Does he Listen To?

I have so many headcanons about JJ and music, I can go on forever about it.  But, he hates rock music. It was the warning that he was going to be hiding out from his fathers anger. The heavy bass reminds him of shaking walls of his bedroom as his father yelled through the door he had his back pressed to. In general, he listens to indie and country music. 70s, new wave 80s music and 90s rap finds its way in the mix a lot as well, but that’s from the days where his mom’s car radio would only get a station that played oldies. JJ has a memory of him sitting in the backseat while his mom drove around the island, the two of them singing along to Wake Me Up Before You Go Go, they knew every word. And whenever he hears it now  - which albeit, isn’t often - he can’t stop thinking about her. 

How Does he Feel About Being Vulnerable?

He absolutely hates it. In his home, vulnerability was a weakness that Luke would wrap his fingers around and cling to as soon as he spotted it. Vulnerability also brought unwanted attention to the ugly parts of his life. The idea of others pitying him makes him want to throw up, so he shoves everything down and focuses all his energy on making sure his friends are happy. Whenever something comes up, he tries to spin it with a joke or waves it away with some casual comment. JJ is slowly starting to open up with the Pogues, but with most of them there is still a wall there that he’s working on taking down. The only person who has seen him fully and openly vulnerable is Kiara - which started from that night in the hot tub.

!!This post is incomplete!!

PROFILE: DKB

DKB is a Korean boy group that debuted in February 2020. Their group name is an abbreviation of “Dark Brown Eyes,” meaning these Asian group members with dark brown eyes will spread their music to the world. The fandom name is BB, meaning DKB’s Bestie (DKB’s precious friends who walk alongside them always).

Q1. Please tell us how you decided to be an idol

Q2. Please promote yourself to S Cawaii! readers!

Q3. What is the song/music video you recommend to people who are listening/watching DKB for the first time?

ECHAN

Strict when it comes to performances, absolutely will not compromise on quality

When I stood on the stage at my middle school festival performance, I couldn’t forget the sound of the cheers and applause. I wanted a career where I could stand on the stage, and set my sights on becoming a singer. My dream is becoming an artist that everyone recognizes, and I would be happy if I could become someone’s role model some day.

I’m the leader in charge of rap and performance with a charismatic gaze! When I’m on the stage, my expressions don’t lose to anyone. Please pay attention to my charismatic jawline (laughs). I’m the calm type, but when it comes to performances, I’m the type that will absolutely not compromise on quality. I’m always striving for perfection, so when its time to practice I get pretty serious. But outside of practice, I joke and play with the younger members like we’re friends (of the same age). If anything, I’m more likely to be teased by them (laughs). Lately, I’m working hard at composing and lyric composition. It would be nice to film a lot of things like dance reels. What I’m constantly obsessed with lately is DKB and BB! This is all I’ve got!

[Turning Point] The song we got to perform thanks to Peak Time. I would be happy if they checked out the performance video on our Youtube channel, clips from the show, performance videos from music shows or any of the various uploaded contents from it. This song’s performance is, without a doubt, something that only DKB could do. Rather than focusing on group dance, the choreography highlights the skills of each of the members, proving that DKB can literally “fly around the stage.” Actually, my part has a high difficulty move like flapping wings that if I mess up there’s a chance I might get hurt that I practiced quite a lot. We’ll work harder to be cooler and fly higher.

D1

An all-rounder that sings, dances, choreographs, writes songs and more!

When I was in elementary school, I saw a SUPER JUNIOR music video and thought “So cool! I want to be like them!” I’m from Sokcho, a rural town in Gangwon, but despite the location SUPER JUNIOR came to do a concert and upon actually seeing them on stage, I was inspired. My hometown had no dance/vocal school, so at the time I had to memorize choreography only from watching videos and practice it all by myself. When I was a student, I had no intention to go to Seoul. I was still so young and going to Seoul alone sounded difficult… But in the end, I faced the challenge and went to Seoul as an adult and started going to auditions.

I’m a leader, in charge of vocals and dance— an all-rounder who does everything from choreography to lyric composition! Since DKB has 2 leaders, when it comes to things like practice time, I take on the role of bringing everyone together. Echan is like emotional support for the members. I’m told that my personality is funny because I sometimes act in unexpected ways. Well, everyone in DKB is like that though (laughs). I like anime. I really like Japanese anime, lately I’m obsessed with Blue Rock. I like Haikyuu!! and SLAM DUNK too. I often talk about them with Yuku who likes the same anime. I’m also good with scary things. Thrill rides don’t scare me, and I’m fine with ghosts and bugs!

[Turning Point] The song we performed at the Peak Time finale, we participated in making the choreography. This song best expresses DKB’s identity, I think. We had no more than 1 week to prepare. It would be a lie to say that it wasn’t difficult, but since the song was so good and the dance suited us well, we were able to prepare smoothly while having fun.

GK

Confidence in punchy rap with a naturally deep voice!

Since I was little, there have been many active idol groups, so naturally I thought “idols are cool.” I particularly looked up to G-DRAGON, but I thought he was on a completely different planet compared to me and put a cap on my feelings. What changed that was when I saw BTS’ debut stage in high school. I was crazy shocked by their coolness and could no longer contain the feeling of wanting to be a hip hop idol like that. Up until that point I had only been a part of band clubs and played guitar and drums, but in the end I became an idol that dances onstage. My voice is too deep to be a vocalist, so I started learning to rap and came to this point.

As the rapper, I’m only confident in my rap skills! What else is there… I don’t really have any hobbies… I like good food, so I refresh myself by eating and having a little drink. I particularly like fried chicken. I even eat it often at the dorm. Also, I’m often called a neat freak. It’s hard to clean every day, so I decided to always keep at least my body clean. Back when we first debuted, I would get lost in my thoughts when showering and end up taking like, an hour, but these days it’s around 20 minutes.

[Turning Point] It’s a music style I’ve wanted to try, and I think it shows off our colors the best. That, and the day that we performed this song was the day my parents truly saw my performance skills for the first time. My parents had always opposed my wanting to become an idol… My mom doesn’t do well in that kind of environment, so her impression was “I couldn’t relax so I don’t remember anything,” (laughs). After that, we invited her to lots of our shows and she started telling me things like “that was cool” and “I’m proud of you.”

Heechan

Sincere and passionate, nicknames galore “nickname millionaire”

Being raised in Miryang of Gyeongsang, in a rural village with no such thing as a dance school, I was shocked by seeing HIGHLIGHT’s SHOCK performance, and memorized the dance through self-study. My house had no mirrors, so when it would get dark, I would practice by watching my reflection in the window. My village didn’t even have a dance contest, but when there was an opportunity to show off my special skills, I thought, “I definitely have to go!” At that time, when I heard my friends cheering, I was convinced that this is the path for me. After that, I continued to self-study dance and when it was time to change schools, I moved up to Seoul alone. I was a Practical Dance major at Hanlim Arts, and while I was going to school, I auditioned and was able to debut.

I’m the main dancer, and a passionate, honest guy. I have a lot of nicknames, so I get called the “nickname millionare.” My full name is Heechan Yang, so all sorts of words get attached to “Yang,” like “Passion-Yang,” “Honest-Yang,” “Yangstar” and more— if you attach “Yang” to it, it becomes my nickname (laughs). I have a “going my way” kind of personality— I’m the type to do exactly what I want to do. My strengths are learning quickly and being able to interpret any dance into my own style. I am confident in my dancing silhouette and tempo, and I’m always studying which angle makes my dance the most beautiful. As the nickname “Passion-Yang” suggests, I’m a truly passionate person. Every time I perform, I dance as if I’m going to die on stage— I give it all I’ve got!

「Turning Point」「Sober（Remix ver.）」 These are the songs that make me go, “this is totally DKB!” That’s true for any of our songs, but we made the performance with the attention to the finest detail. Especially my part, with the feeling of “I am the center!” I thought about which pattern the gesture should be, while also checking with the other members, and practiced it to perfection.

Lune

Exudes a characteristic aura, wants to be able to lead the stage with his presence

Being an idol as an occupation was such a far-fetched idea to me that I never imagined I would ever do it. As fate would have it, I got scouted and now I’m here, but I only started to pursue it as my dream during the process of preparing to debut in DKB. Honestly, at first I only wanted to take on the challenge for the experience. I thought it would be impossible for me get in, so I thought “even if it doesn’t work out, let’s try!” Since I hate half measures, I diligently and earnestly took on each assignment I was given and thankfully am now able to greet the world as a member of DKB. Now, I can show off my characteristic aura on stage, and its my dream to become an artist that can lead the stage with that aura. My role model is BTS’ V. Just like V, I want to find and express my own charms. I am still inexperienced, but I’ll do my best!

I’m a vocalist, and it’s embarrassing to say this with my own mouth, but I’m called the “face” of DKB by our fans (laughs). I have a tough personality, but I can also get jealous, so I often hear that the gap between those two characteristics is makes me charming. When BBs say they’re interested in other groups, I sulk and express myself honestly (laughs). My special skill is taekwondo. Ever since I was little, I specialized in Gyeorugi, and I was even in K-TIGERS. On the stage, I work hard to show off colors that the other members don’t have. I hope that you can see just what atmosphere is particular to me through our performances.

「Turning Point」 I think this song best expresses our identity. Looking at the song’s performance, you’ll know exactly what kind of group we are right away!

Junseo

Tough on the outside, soft on the inside— the gap is the charm

I was fat when I was little, so at first, I only started dancing to lose weight. Around the time I was in 3rd grade, I looked up to RAIN and TAEYANG because they were so cool, I had the opportunity to dance in front of everyone in my school. The reaction was so good, I thought, “I want to pursue this path.” I was a shy person, but thanks to dance, my personality changed. At first, I wanted to be a dancer, but because my mom’s dream was to become a singer, so I changed it because I wanted to make her dream come true. While aiming to be a singer, I found myself actually wanting to become a singer. When I became a singer, my mom was super happy. She knows a lot more about idols than I do (laughs). Even my grandpa would watch the music programs and tell me what he thought. I am very loved.

I am confidence in my dancing skills, and I am steadily growing in terms of vocal skill! I look tough on the outside, but I’m soft on the inside; I have that kind of surprising charm, and I like taking care of people. I’m obsessed with Japanese ramen. When I’m in Japan, I eat it once or twice a day because I like it so much. Also, the food in the convenience stores is so delicious that when I ate there for dinner, I ended up gaining weight (laughs). I buy salt-flavor ramen, rice balls and fried chicken at the convenience store. I like the hamburger, tuna, chicken-mayo, and tarako-filled rice balls.

Since we made the choreography from the beginning to the end, I think this song shows off our colors the best, and in my opinion, this is the song with the strongest dance. I think seeing this song will make you think, “these guys are really good at performing.” There were things we worried about the choreography, but Harry’s and my motto is “let’s choreograph while having fun.” If we get creatively stuck, we do things like play phone games or tell each other to rest that day and try again the next day. By doing that, we were able to complete it.

Yuku

The gap is the charm, wants to show off a cool side beyond the ordinary

Since my mom likes KPOP, I’ve been to tons of concerts ever since I was little. From the beginning, I would absentmindedly wonder, “What would it feel like to stand on that stage myself?” but when I went on a trip to Korea in middle school, there happened to be auditions for JYP in the area. There, I saw the possibilities and concretely decided my goal. I’m the type to follow through once I decide something, so regardless of the result I was going to do my best to the end. I first started to learn dance when I was around 5 years old. My body was so stiff that it was difficult for my mom to change my diapers, so I was put into a dance studio in the neighborhood (laughs). I’m good at R&B, smooth genres that flow with grace. Since I’m good at a style that is different from everyone else in the group, I would like to show it off more.

Since I’m always smiling and rarely get angry, my nickname is “Angel” (laughs). Also, since I look like a chick, I am also called “Chick”~ Heheh. DKB has a strong and “hiphop” image, but I have a bright personality so when we have a bright song, I suit it the best I think. My real name is Yuuku, which my mom named me. It’s a pretty rare name with an interesting meaning. My charm is the gap between me on and off the stage. I want to show a cooler me, different from usual. My expressions and movements differ depending on the nuances of the song, I would be happy if they could pay close attention to that!

「Sober（Remix ver.）」「Told You」 Not the original, but the remix. It really shows off the strength of our performance abilities. As far as MV’s go, “Told You.” It’s a sentimental song, but once you hear it with the performance it takes on a different light, so please check that out as well.

Harry-June

The always sunny mood maker maknae & main dancer

Way back when, I used to play basketball, and then after that I became a dancer. I was a part of a dance team for 3 years, and I got scouted when someone from the company saw a video of me dancing on SNS. I auditioned and after about 1 year of training, I debuted. My mom likes artists like Chris Brown and Michael Jackson, so naturally I’ve had an interest in dance since I was young. My role model was Chris Brown. I didn’t know how to sing, so at first I had a hard time, but everyone really helped me out and I was able to enjoy it more and more.

I’m Harry-June, maknae and acting main dancer! I’m DKB’s always sunny mood maker, and I’m in charge of making choreography. I love causing trouble, so I tease and mess with the older members a lot. By nature, I’m not really the cutesy type, but our fans always say “maknae Harry is so cute~,” so it was natural for me to become cutesy and loveable. Since I like basketball, lately I watch a lot of basketball videos. Sometimes on my days off, I meet with my friends that I used to play basketball with and play a real game.

This is the song that completely expresses DKB’s true colors. Bada Lee, who appeared in Street Woman Fighter 2, helped us with the choreo down to the finest details. I thought that being on a survival program would be really tough but when we were preparing, it wasn’t like that at all. Instead of worrying about what we should do, we gathered the opinions of the older members of what would be interesting and had fun creating the performance.

[choshasan]

random rant caused by a dumb argument with my mother last night ✨️

I never liked generation wars and shitting on other generations and bashing them, because stereotyping a generation on just it's bad people is dumb as fuck,

But istg, Gen X is the only generation I've personaly encountered that like..

One person, or one person and their imediate friend group, does [x] and then you tell them, heyy.. uhm.. y'know.. that's.. pretty fucking rude, right? And they be like

NO. Everyone does that! You should change your mindset and go out more if you don't notice everyone does that!

Like????

I literally had a horrible argument with my mother last night cuz we stopped at a drive through and she started off with "you're gonna give me" (in french "Tu vas m'donner") and I told her "hey. You're not gonna talk to the worker like that, she's a human not your bitch, and that's rude as fuck, we don't talk to people like that, that ain't how you fucking raised me." And she went on this entire rant about how everyone talks like that and how that's fully acceptable to talk to workers like that and it's not rude and if I can't see that everyone talks like that, then I need to get out of the house more. And just so much more nonsencical Shit and like ?!?!?!

Bitch what??

Literally, 1. You work custommer service, I KNOW you don't got people talking to u like that all day, cuz I can hear them talking to u on the phone and the vast majority of them are super fucking polite.

And 2. I GO OUT MORE OFTEN THAT THIS BITCH BRUH!! Like, she goes out once or twice a week, to buy groceries and shit, and then she be like i KnOw hOw ThE wOrLd Is BeCaUsE i HaD a LiFe In ThE '70s AnD '80's

Like gurl- wake the fuck up. It's not socailly acceptable anymore to call women "skirts" and smoke indoors and smack ur waitress on the ass cuz she's cute or whatever. Y'all just old, entitled as fuck, and reffuse to let go of the past.

And like, I know it's not all Gen X, cuz most of the people I know's parents are Gen X, and they're such kind and accepting people who accept the changing of times and recognise that someday, the world will be left to the younger generations, so they gotta addapt to them and make the world a better place for them,

But jesus fuck the entitled Gen X who act like it's the fucking 40's - 60's still in the fucking 2000s, like?! You've had 40+ years to addapt bruh, where'd your brain fucking stop??? I know change is scarry and you won't always understand the younger generations and the weird shit we do, but remember, you guys did weird shit too when you were young, and your parents were assholes about it, and you resented them for not understanding you.. like?? Remember Queen?? They had a whole music video where they cross dressed. Remember the beasty boys?? Who did satirical rap-rock?? Remember twisted sister?? Kiss?? And all those other bands??

And most importantly, remember how you were taught basic human respect?? Remember that first retail job you really didn't like when you had rude clients but you didn't have a choice to put up with them because you needed the job?? Or maybe even you chewed them out and kicked theor asses cuz you didn't care, you could just get another job??

Lets not make others lives a hell for no reason, kay? Lets be kind and polite to eachother, cuz seeing grown ass adults be more impolite than a toddler is legit embarassing bruh- 💀

And god knows how much y'all care 'bout appearances 💀

10 NEW SONGS - 4/14/24

It’s become clear that when you’re not completely ignoring your whole ass job, writing a whole ass article becomes much more difficult - who knew! Still aiming to get these out every week, just might not be a Friday / same day situation. Alas.

1. Hold Up - Sasha Keable

Sasha Keable has quietly dropped some gems in the past 4 to 5 years (I was shocked to discover that she’s the featured artist on Disclosure’s “Voices”, a song I've adored for years), but this single might be her best release to date. She confidently sings here over jazzy, electronic keyboard chords, giving us some modern … dare I say … Amy Winehouse vibes? At the very least, she sounds more like Amy than whatever the fuck is happening with this Back to Black movie.

2. Illusion - Dua Lipa

This sounds like early Dua, and I mean that in the best way possible. She’s been getting a weird amount of hate in the pop world - I think it’s hard to follow an album as incredible as Future Nostalgia, but none of these songs are bad at all. Leave her be!

3. The Kill - Maggie Rogers

A clear highlight from a really strong album in Don’t Forget Me, I fuckin’ love this. Her harmonies here are top notch, and the upbeat country / folk vibe she has going works so well with her voice and songwriting. This song is so good that I actually looked up tickets to her Milwaukee show in the middle of typing out this blurb.

4. Espresso - Sabrina Carpenter

Just a fun little girly-bop bop with bonus track vibes - I think she put this out for Coachella promo? Regardless, happy to add this to the library. 

5. Nasty - Tinashe

Tinashe has quietly released some bangers since she blew up back in the day with 2 On - add this one to the list. I would go feral if I heard this drunk in a bar. I will go feral when I pay way too much to hear it at a bar via TouchTunes.

6. Player Two - Jordan Ward

Jordan Ward doesn’t miss and this is catchy as hell. Looks like it’s going to be featured in a movie I’ve never heard of based on the title - interesting. It kind of sounds like a cross between disco, yacht rock, and R&B.

7. Ash Roth! - Asher Roth

I was a MASSIVE Asher Roth fan back in the day, so I was thrilled to see that he dropped a new album this weekend. This was a clear highlight for me, as Asher introspectively reflects on himself and his career over a laid back beat, reminiscent of his Pabst & Jazz era. Dude can really rap and I’ve always said that. I’m also realizing now that he’s released multiple albums since 2020 that I never listened to, so that’s a rabbit hole I will absolutely be going down in the near future. At one point, a video existed on the internet of Asher Roth singing "Just Friends" by Musiq Soulchild live on stage, and while I can no longer locate this video, seeing that told me everything I needed to know about Asher Roth. I'll bet you had no idea I had this much to say about Asher Roth. I can't even explain it, I surprise myself too.

8. TWUG (That’s What U Get) - Jean Deaux

A great R&B beat and a solid vocal performance from Jean Deaux. I always find myself wanting more from her projects when I listen through, but she’s released great individual songs over the years. 

9. magic - strongboi

Knew literally nothing about them before writing this but have since discovered that strongboi = Alice Phoebe Lou + a producer / collaborator? Alice Phoebe Lou fucking rocks, as does this song! Slayyy, niche indie queen. This sounds like a breezy summer day and I'm loving every second of it.

10. How? - Dhruv

Another artist I know very little about, but my god, Dhruv has a beautiful voice. I could listen to this man sing all day.

[mychanicalbrides]

does anyone else feel like once they got into emo/alt music they aren't allowed to like any other music?? (cutting this off cus I rant a lot sorry)

I've loved pierce the veil and Paramore for a long time but just recently have I been exploring those scenes more than before and they feel Soo restricting. I feel like I can't like rap music or pop music because that means I dont ACTUALLY like the bands I like.

I was talking to my brothers who are both super into rap (chance the rapper and Tyler the creator mostly) and how I feel like I can't like it, and I literally started crying because I can't think of an actual valid reason to not get into it. and the only reason I could think of is that I can't like rap if I also like Taylor Swift or MCR because that's just. impossible??

idk maybe it's cus I listen to music with fanbases and most rap fanbases are like 12 year old boys. and whenever I want to get into rap people look at me like I'm crazy!!! they want me to like rap because everybody likes it but when I try to find artists to like suddenly I'm not allowed to??

I'm supposed to know every song on their discography and like their mother's maiden name to consider myself a real fan. Tyler tc is probably one of my fav rappers I love Igor and some other songs by him but I don't say I'm a fan because I only know Igor.. people have told me that!! I have to like their weird niche music from 2010 to be a "real fan"??

and I'm pretty sure that's solely based on the fact I listen to Taylor Swift and shit because there's no Way a Swiftie could like Tyler the Creator!!!!!

let people b casual fans man I see this in emo music alot too, you dont have to like or listen to every single song to be a real fan of someone.

and let people into your dumb niche weirdo subcultures okay I WANT to get into rap and hip hop and pop and punk rock because I like the history and the communities and the cultures and it's so amazing but I can't get into it because I like these other things. Music is so fucking fluid and can be sooo many things and you can like all of it

let me like all of it! I don't care if I'm a fucking swiftie or an emo tell me your favorite rap song let people expand their music tastes and don't make fun of them for not liking the unreleased found in a basement single !!

okay I'm done I'm sorry I had to say it cus it's been bugging me like all month

☆ things i love

~fnaf!! i grew up watching markiplier, jacksepticeye, and matpat play and do theories and stuff about it. i’m not as i guess “involved” for lack of a better term, than i used to be, but i still always watch any new theories or videos from creators i like about it :)

☆ now some of my personality!! (you don’t have to read all of this, it’s kinda just rants of things i love!!)

~i love experiencing life. i want to be everything i cant. i wish to be everything. i maladaptive daydream, and while yes it may be harmful to my grades, my attention, my relationships, i honestly don’t care. i love my little worlds i’ve made in my head. “i hate how limiting this human life is. because i wish i could be a woman, a man, a mother and a father, to not have kids at all, i want to try every single food, to read every single book, to visit every place it is humanly possible to visit, to learn every single language, to gain all the knowledge of this world and to be completely clueless, i want to be a writer, a painter, a scientist, a musician, a lawyer. i want to meet everyone and make friends i'll can't even count to be a lover and to love, to be both the artist and the muse, oh god I wish I had a thousand lives this one is just not enough.”

~i’m a hopeless romantic. i want to experience love and passion. i want to care for someone and be cared back, love someone and have that love reciprocated. i maladaptive daydream, like i said, and my universes key component are about love. different ways i fall in love, meet people, live life.

~i love people. i love how we all have our own little ways of expressing ourselves with our styles or music or hair, it’s all just so cute. i love watching people experience life. looking around, you can see just anything, and you have no idea of their past, present, or future. all you know is how you perceive them in that moment. and that is so special to me. i love people watching and observing every little thing about nature, that be people, animals, plants, you name it. i love that you can be reading all of this, know this much about me, while not knowing what i look like, who i have been, who i ever will be. while people i call my own friends don’t even know this about me.

this parts gonna be short, but just so you know, i struggle with paranoia, depression, social anxiety (diagnosed/told by therapists or doctors)

i’m not sure of any other mental illnesses

i also have a history of eating disorders, self harm, and suicidal tendencies

this blog i’ll either repost things i like, random thoughts, or i might post some vents, so for the venting part i just wanted to let you know of my past because that is what it may involve. any vent i post i’ll put a tw, so yk in case any of that triggers you!!

A-T-3 125 Run DMC - Sucker MC's

Sucker Mc's is the b-side of Run DMC's debut single and a pivotal record in hip hop. The most common line is 'it ushered in a new era of hip hop,' 'pioneering the new-school' and kick starting 'the drum machine era' (1983-1986) with its stripped down sound. It's been said to have introduced 'real hip hop' to audiences, 'saving hip hop from going stale' or becoming a passing fad. Fresh is the word and Run DMC were the first hip hop group to go platinum in the US, so the group themselves are also a marker for hip hop's commercial success. Being held in such high regard Sucker MC's has had its story told many times, but the first telling of how Sucker MCs came about are in the lyrics themselves

“Took a test to become an MC" - Run had been DJ for Kurtis Blow who was managed by his brother Russell Simmonds

"and Orange Krush became amazed at me" - Orange Krush was Kurtis Blow's backing band which included Larry Smith, Trevor Gale and Davy DMX

"So, Larry put me inside his Cadillac, the chauffeur drove off, and we never came back" At this point in the lyrics it's just Run, Russell Simmonds originally wished for his brother Run The MC to be a solo artist. Larry its Larry Smith of Orange Krush who, as well as working with Kurtis Blow and Run DMC, worked with Jimmy Spicer, "Love Bug" Starski, Dr Jeckyll And Mr Hyde, Starchild in those early years, and Whodini from 1984 - there's not enough said about Larry Smith

"Dave cut the record down to the bone, and now they got me rocking on the microphone” In 1982 Orange Krush released a disco track called Action. The beats for Sucker MC's is Trevor Gale's drum pattern from Action replayed on a Oberheim DMX drum machine. In the lyric this is Dave (Davey DMX) that cuts the record down to the bone. It's literally (Orange) Krush's groove

Run DMC are Joseph Simmons (Run), Darryl McDaniels(DMC), and Jason Mizell (Jam Master Jay)

Sucker MC's is said to take hip hop (meaning rap) back to its origin of 'rapping over a beat.' like you hear on Spoonie Gee's seminal track Love Rap from 1980. "Run-D.M.C's debut marked the start of a new era that saw a return to hip hop's roots in breakbeats, sampling and drum machines." What we have to take into consideration here is drum machines are still new and very expensive, the Oberheim DMX drum machine was released in 1980 and would have cost over $10,000 in todays money. I maybe wrong but I'm guessing when talking about going back to it's roots of 'rapping to a beat' that was more often than not that was a loop of a recorded live drum rather than a drum machine. The Oberheim DMX was released shortly after the Linn LM-1 in 1980, but the more popular LinnDrum didn't come out until 1982. The Roland TR-808 also came out in 1980 and was replaced by the TR-909 in 1983

"The mainstream was not quite prepared for the concept of breakbeats." - I'm getting these quotes from this awful article. In 1982 Malcolm McLaren releases Buffalo Gals, in 1982 in peaked at number 9 on the UK singles charts, and sold well around the world. Of course it's a bit of a novelty record but it also features an Oberheim DMX with a pretty sparse arrangement and was very influential

Run DMC's set up of emcee and a dj would become the new template of a rap group, although the dj would often get pushed out of the limelight. I don't agree with this statement "no major record label was willing to bet on a DJ over a live band." I've mentioned Buffalo Galls, that is The World's Famous Supreme Team djs scratching over the DMX drum beat and Trevor Horn el embellishing with a few samples from their new Fairlight CMI (is it the first hip hop record you use actual samples?), Grandmaster Flash had released the breakthrough dj record The Adventures Of Grandmaster Flash On The Wheels Of Steel in 1981, Grandmaster D.St is releasing records in 1982 and introduces mainstream US audiences to scratching in 1983 when he plays on Herbie Hancock's Rockit (most notably when he steals the show at the 1984 Grammy's). Then there is Planet Rock, Afrika Bambaataa and Arthur Baker are both dj's and recording in the dj come producer/remixer tradition of the disco era

I've seen Sucker MC's drum beat described as a sample and held up as introducing sampling to hip hop, "sampling was more stigmatised at the time." First of all it's not a sample is it, only if you want to call the sounds of the DMX samples, which would be technically right, but it's not sampling like you hear on Buffalo Gals. The reason sampling wasn't common in hip hop at the time is because samplers were rare and ridiculously expensive

Run DMC - Sucker MC's so good

Kaeya being a weird horse girl™ is so true to me anyway, but in a modern setting specifically I just know he collected all the horse posters from those teen girl magazines and plastered them all over his walls. There were some he stuck on the fridge too before Adelinde scolded him for it (gently told him to leave some room for Diluc's drawings too). Also his phone and computer backgrounds were pictures of horses he found on the internet or selfies he took with horses.

Venti dressing as he does in game makes me laugh so much! I imagine Diluc still owns a pub or something in a modern au, so he just sees Venti in his little medieval bard clothing and looks at the CCTV camera, The Office style, and goes "the guy from the pantomime back again". And honestly, I can't decide which music genre is funnier for Venti in this scenario! Like, indie? Rap!? Pop!?!? Every genre is funny and unexpected when my guy dressing in his little pantaloons and starts singing anything that isn't theatre!

Vampire Diluc!!! pLEASE! Him going through his little goth phase completely unintentionally, beelining for the rack of black clothing in the corner of every clothes shop because "all the other clothes are tacky". He always dresses in long sleeved shirts in the summer because he gets sunburnt too easily, and likes wearing all the vintage trousers and waistcoats because they "look elegant" and he's got the money. Kaeya would always laugh at him for it but then basically do the same thing in a different font. Lowkey reminds me of my boyfriend ngl. He too has an unintentionally pretentious style purely because he "wants to look smart" and I make fun of him for it

#princeinexile is trending in Khaenri'ah at least once every month. The people love Kaeya! They live for the drama of their exiled prince's life! I bet you there's a show too! Like Keeping Up With The Kardashians, except it's Keeping up With The Khaenri'ahn Royals and Kaeya doesn't know he's being filmed. He's like every other celebrity, except there's even more mystery and excitement around him because he doesn't actually know he is a celeb so he doesn't do interviews or anything, and people love dedicating their accounts to him and making edits and coming up with theories and headcanons. If Kaeya ever found this part of social media, I think he would have an aneurism.

Okay okay okay, listen. I think Rosaria would be the type of person to make a lot of sex jokes, but like in a tasteful goth way. She'd definitely tell people to call her mommy as a joke (or not as a joke), and she said it to Kaeya once and only once, because Kaeya promptly had a breakdown, told her that she does really resemble his mom and then a panic attack to top it all off. Rosaria to this day has not fully processed this but they both refuse to speak about it or even acknowledge it.

"Are you certain you are using it as prescribed!?" Kaeya just nods as the doctor starts crying at their desk because this is NOT NORMAL! "Are you sure you don't smoke or take drugs? Please!? I don't understand how goddamn traumatised you must be for your system to literally override THREE Different Types of Biological Medication!?!?!" They're like rocking back and forth while Kaeya just kinda sits there like, "yeah... it do be an issue, but like. I would like it solved please?" If the next one hadn't worked the doctor would have actually just prescribed vodka and resigned.

I don't even know what to say about the last one. Like. What? Kaeya got shown it by some kid from college and he had never been so relieved that he was abandoned and adopted by Crepus instead. Kaeya told the kid he had no idea who that man was and then went home and bleached his eyes.

I barely use spoofy. I mostly listen to my tunes on Bandcamp. But here's what spoofy gave me this year.
