Oooh, I’ve never seen this concept art before! 👀

From here -  Damir G. Martin: These are some of the concept models and artwork I created for the Good Omens series via Milk Visual Effects. Unfortunately, as it always is with big projects, lot of work from concept phase does not make it to the final cut. That was the case with my satan design too. Regardless, I like this design very much and I really enjoyed creation process, largely thanks to vfx supervisor J.C. Deguara. Thankful for yet another opportunity to do some work with Milk Vfx family.

tap tap tap. is this thing on?

hi hi! it feels so weird to be posting on here after lurking. after forever dwelling in the cesspits of this app, i've finally decided to make an attempt at making some friends! especially ones into the same things as me.

a little bit about myself. my name is everette, i use he/she/it, and I'm a lesbian! i also answer to eve and evie! if it wasn't incredibly obvious, i have autism, and my hyperfixation just so happens to be everyone's favorite silly band: ghost <3

tags i plan on using :

#eve masterlist (all of my posts, archived.)

#eve makes (sims 4 content)

#eve ghosts (ghost content)

#eve rambles (unorganized, miscellaneous rambles)

#eve writes (prompts, ficlets, headcanons, anything i decide to write)

#eve answers (!! exactly what it says! i answer!!)

more may be added!

my interests ; ghost, the magnus protocol & archive, i have no mouth and i must scream, contemporary horror lit, j.c leyendecker, arcane, bg3, dbh, saw, debate, web design, the romantics, chappell roan, the romantics, ethel cain, tyler the creator, musical theater, especially cats and phantom of the opera. definitely more, but those are the basics!!

this is also an official call for literally any ghost fans. i desperately need more friends into ghost. being into a 'satanic' swedish rock band in the deep south is hard, y'all :(.

That malicious spirit [Satan] is unwearied in his efforts to do us harm.

So the other day I read the first volume of a manga called Magilumiere: Magical Girls Inc., which is set in a world where, kinda like MHA with superheroes, magical girls are a common sight, and being a magical girl is treated like a normal job. Basically, they function as exterminators for these monsters called kaii, and there are multiple companies, of all sizes, that employ magical girls for this purpose.

Anyway, the manga was really cool, but we all know that magical girl transformations (especially techno-magic ones like in this series) look best animated. So naturally, I looked it up to see if there was an anime adaptation. And there is - just not yet. This manga only came out in 2022 in Japan (and it's running in Shonen Jump+, no less), under the title Magilumiere Co. Ltd (Kabushiki Gaisha Majirumie in Japanese) and it only started being released in English by Viz in March of this year. And while an anime version is planned, it's not due out till Q4 of 2024. So I have to wait.

The cast and staff seem pretty good, though. The anime is being made by J.C. Staff (the studio behind many well-known animes, like Azumanga Daioh, the A Certain Magical Index franchise, Saiki K, Food Wars, Revolutionary Girl Utena, and Shakugan no Shana), alongside Studio Moe, which seems to be a pretty new studio with not that many credits. The composer, Makoto Miyazaki, also did the music for One Punch Man and Spy x Family. The script writer Shingo Nagai has also written for Symphogear (so he's no stranger to mahou shoujo). The director, Masahiro Hiraoka, doesn't seem to have much directorial experience (most of his credits on ANN are for artist work, most of which seem to be tied to Studio Moe, which as I mentioned, doesn't have very many credits), but I can overlook that. (Interestingly, a lot of his artist work has been in CG art, including CG for both HeartCatch and Suite PreCure, which makes me think the transformations and maybe attacks will involve CG, though I guess that's expected nowadays).

The cast is interesting too. The two main girls, Kana and Hiromi, are being voiced by Fairouz Ai and Yumiri Hanamori respectively. They previously appeared together in Tropical Rouge PreCure as Cures Summer and Coral respectively (and just last year reprised those roles in the movie PreCure All Stars F), although interestingly here Coral's actress is playing the energetic Hiromi, while Summer's actress is playing the much more reserved and intelligent Kana, which if you know Tropical Rouge is a complete opposite of their Cure characters. But then they have range - Fairouz is also the voice of Jolyne from JoJo and Alisa in Pokémon Concierge, while Yumiri has also played Hayasaka from Kaguya-sama (a character with a varied personality, apparently). So I'm not worried.

The two characters above are the resident programmer at and the boss of the titular Magilumiere. (Yes, the boss is a middle-aged male cosplayer. He's just weird like that). The programmer's name is Kazuo Nikoyama, and rather hilariously given his design, he's going to be voiced by Daiki Yamashita, the same actor who voices Izuku in MHA (I guess the resemblance to Izuku may not have been a coincidence 😂). As for the boss, his name is Kouji Shigemoto, and his planned actor is Rikiya Koyama (Kogorō Mori/Richard Moore in Detective Conan/Case Closed, Jōichiro in Food Wars, and Emiya in the Fate franchise).

Rounding out the currently known cast is nice-guy office worker Midorikawa, who is going to be voiced by Ryota Ohsaka (Keiji in Haikyuu, Sadao/Satan in The Devil is a Part-Timer, and the Japanese voice of Cat Noir).

Anyway, sounds like an interesting series! Unfortunately, Volume 2 of the manga doesn't come out in English until June, so I'll have to wait for that too.

[Have an ask that's meant for you to talk or ramble about your ocs if you'd like, since I didn't know you had any but I'd love to know more :> 🧡💛🤍🩷❤️ ]

oh like as a sequel to this one? i forgot about that! i didnt talk about very much in here so i guess i'll start building out the story a little more

in 2006 i started writing a new story literally just to goof around while bored at my dad's while he didn't have internet. i just wrote some scattered 'adventures' of a pretty nondescript kid who engages with topics i had interest in at the time, like being in a rock band and being a pro wrestler. this wasn't even really anything until the next year, i returned to my dad's and remembered the story, deciding to expand upon it. after that it became A Thing and i expanded somewhat on the world and characters, also grounding the tone from full-on cartoon to reasonably serious. i say somewhat expanded because this was still just me screwing around writing whatever i felt like with no forethought, so the characterization didn't exactly get much better.

characters!

Miles - main character dude. later on he developed an obsession with his image and by association the image of his band, Dr. Love. but yeah literally nothing to say besides he wears glasses and is… idk, lightly autistic? basically both a standin for me as well as being basically nothing. with the power of a "science machine" and some weird potions he got in the mail he can transform into the buff pro wrestler alter ego and face off against The Undertaker

Eddie - main character's best friend who is depressed and stressed out for the part of the series that has a grounded tone. he's the bassist for the band Dr. Love and lives in the shadow of Miles, both as part of the band as in their school life. i mentioned they were just regular kids going to school right? yeah they have a rock band that releases professional albums and is implied to tour. it's that kind of universe i guess

Teegah - named after my grandmother's elderly cat at the time (Teeger aka Tiger), Teegah is Miles' pet parrot who was transformed from a cat in the first chapter at his own request so he could speak to the others. despite being a parrot he's just treated like another member of the squad and is the drummer (!) for the band Dr. Love. he has a sardonic attitude inspired by salem the cat from sabrina the teenage witch and quips at the others

J.C. - a girl with practically no lines that exists to be Miles' girlfriend in later chapters. it's telling that i genuinely spent a good chunk of it accidentally calling her "Rose", which is the name of Yamachi's superfluous girlfriend as i described last time. that's a totally separate series (at this point). anyway her name doesn't stand for anything, but i did give her the last name Flowers long before scott pilgrim was released so points for me! i said points so me so they're for me!!!!!!

Third - this is apparently a nickname derived from his birth date, November 3. not the weirdest thing but it throws me for some reason (and i wrote it). anyway Third is introduced as a spy for rival rock band Twisted Brother (twenty guesses what their name is a takeoff of) and sows dissent in Dr. Love as the band's second guitarist (do bands run by teenagers need two guitarists?). long story short he ends up double-doublecrossing and joins the crew as a friend and real new band member. his cocky attitude and good looks makes him act as a rival to Miles at first

so what's the plot of this one? uhh, there isn't a plot?

unlike the last thing i talked about there wasn't an overarching plot about stopping satan by running into the center of the world or whatever it was mostly about the tribulations these kids faced as part of being in a popular rock band

eventually i lost a bunch of chapters to a hard drive crash and it kinda bummed me out so i officially cancelled the series. shortly after this, i started work on a new series, inspired by both this and the prior work… but that's a whole rabbit hole we can get into another time… for now just imagine a parrot playing drums with its little feet like a cartoon. thank you goodnight

Looking Forward to Christ’s Return by J.C. Ryle

Let me entreat all right-hearted readers to look onward and forward to the day of Christ’s second coming. A time draws near when Satan shall be bound, and Christ’s saints shall be changed

–when sin shall no more vex us, and the sight of sinners shall no more sadden our minds–when believers shall at length attend on God without distraction, and love Him with a perfect heart. For that day let us wait, and watch, and pray. It cannot be very far off. The night is far spent. The day is at hand. Surely if our hearts are right, we ought often to cry, “Come quickly–come Lord Jesus!

✝️ Notre Accusateur est vaincu !

En 519 avant J.C., le prophète Zacharie a une vision : le grand-prêtre Josué se tient devant l’Ange de l’Éternel, avec à sa droite Satan, dont le nom signifie l’Accusateur en hébreu.

Or Josué est revêtu de vêtements sales, symbolisant l’état de pécheurs du peuple qu’il représente. Satan, le diable, a beau jeu de l’accuser devant l’envoyé de Dieu.

Comment peut-il, dans cet état, venir en présence du Dieu saint et juste ?! Mais voilà que Dieu rabroue Satan, le réduit au silence…

Le livre de l’Apocalypse nous en donne la raison : Car l’Accusateur de nos frères, celui qui, jour et nuit, les a accusés devant Dieu, a été jeté hors du ciel. Mais eux, ils l’ont vaincu grâce au sacrifice de l’Agneau et grâce au témoignage qu’ils ont rendu pour lui…¹

Dieu a envoyé son Fils Jésus-Christ, qui s’est offert comme un agneau en sacrifice, pour expier notre péché. Par sa mort et sa résurrection, Jésus a vaincu l’Accusateur, il a effacé l’acte de l’accusation qu’il portait contre nous.

Pour être bénéficiaire de la victoire de Jésus, il nous faut croire en son sacrifice, et en témoigner publiquement. Alors l’Accusateur ne peut plus avoir de prise sur nous, alors, dans sa grâce, Dieu nous «revêt de vêtements de fête» et nous introduit en sa présence…

3 Or Josué était couvert de vêtements sales, et il se tenait debout devant l'ange.

4 L'ange, prenant la parole, dit à ceux qui étaient devant lui: Otez-lui les vêtements sales! Puis il dit à Josué: Vois, je t'enlève ton iniquité, et je te revêts d'habits de fête.

5 Je dis: Qu'on mette sur sa tête un turban pur! Et ils mirent un turban pur sur sa tête, et ils lui mirent des vêtements. L'ange de l'Éternel était là.

Interview : J.C. Satàn (FR)

J.C. Satàn au Romandie

Nous sommes le 14 mars et il est environ 20h lorsque je retrouve les J.C. Satàn au Romandie. Je me réjouis, mais comme toujours lorsque je rencontre mes groupes favoris, je suis un peu nerveuse. Pourtant, au milieu de toutes les bouteilles d’alcools forts posée sur la table des loges, la conversation démarre très vite. Au fur et à mesure de l’interview, je me rend compte que les J.C. Satàn - à travers leur sens de l’humour et leur franchise - sont avant tout dévoués à leur art et extrêmement honnêtes. Rejoignez-nous alors que nous parlons de leur vie à Bordeaux, de la recherche de leur style musical si particulier, de leur album Centaur Desire, de l’enfer, et bien plus encore.

Je me souviens de la première fois où je vous ai vus jouer, c’était en première partie de Ty Segall à l’Usine PTR. J’étais avec une amie, qui ne connaissait aucun des deux groupes. Je lui ai demandé qui elle avait préféré après le concert, et elle a répondu J.C. Satàn !

Arthur : Eh bé ! Ça commence bien cette interview en tout cas ! On enverra l’interview à Ty après ! (rires)

Pour apprendre à vous connaître un peu mieux, je voulais savoir à quoi ressemblait votre vie à Bordeaux lorsque vous n’étiez pas en train de tourner.

Arthur : Hmm… ça dépend un peu des moments, quand on a des thunes, quand on n’en n’a pas… (rires) Ca peut énormément changer. En ce moment, on n’en a pas du tout par exemple, parce qu’on ne touche quasiment plus l’argent de rien. Du coup, par la force des choses je reste vachement plus chez moi. Mais du coup je dessine, je tatoue des gens, des trucs comme ça. Je ne veux pas devenir tatoueur, ni bosser dans des salons, mais je le fais parce que cela fait bientôt 7 ans que je dessine et que je sais le faire. Je dépanne des gens qui ne veulent pas forcément aller chez des vrais tatoueurs. Mais quand on a des sous on sort souvent, on aime bien faire la fête.

Romain : On enregistre des groupes aussi.

Arthur : Oui c’est vrai, j’avais oublié ça ! (rires) Avec Dorian, on enregistre souvent des groupes. C’est vrai qu’on commence à le faire de plus en plus. Mais sinon ça se résume assez à une sorte de chômage à l’aise ! (rires) Tranquille.

Paula : Moi, je travaille dans un resto associatif. Du coup, quand je suis à Bordeaux j’essaie de travailler le plus possible. Sinon je reste aussi à la maison, je vois mes copines ou je vais à la salle de sport… Une vie normale quoi.

Arthur : Après, souvent on sort beaucoup. Mais comme là on tourne le weekend…

Paula : Oui, comme on joue un peu plus et qu’on a moins de sous, on reste à la maison ou on travaille. Gaspard travaille aussi.

Gaspard : Je travaille à l’opéra de Bordeaux.

Eh, ça a l’air cool !

Romain : C’est génial ! C’est un boulot, mais fantastique hein !

Gaspard : Je place les gens. Je dis « bonjour, ce sera sur votre droite. »

Arthur : Du coup, ses cheveux dépeignés là- en vrai il est pas du tout comme ça !

Romain : Il a failli être viré à cause de ses cheveux !

Paula : Ah ouais ?

Gaspard : Oui, j’ai reçu des mails et tout.

Paula : Bah, ils ont raison quand même ! (rires)

Gaspard : Du coup je suis en costard-cravate et ça fait marrer tout le monde.

Romain : Ben moi je glande la majorité du temps…

Romain : Non mais je ne fais rien de spécial. Mais pareil, j’ai une vie à peu près normale.

Paula : En plus c’est celui qui a le plus de sous ! (rires)

Arthur : Oui, il a des sous de côté de ouf ! En fait c’est un peu le prince, il s’en fout.

Romain : Je sais gérer mon argent, c’est tout !

Je voulais aussi parler de Centaur Desire, et de votre manière d’écrire. A-t-elle évolué au fil des années ? J’ai trouvé que l’album sonnait de manière plus… propre ?

Arthur : Je dirais, de plus en plus définie. Je ne dirais pas « propre ».

Paula : Mais aussi propre. Parce quand tu mets pleins d’effets sur les choses, tu as l’impression que c’est un peu plus…

Arthur : Oui, mais pour quelqu’un qui enregistre un disque, ce n’est pas du tout propre en vrai. “Propre” pour moi, c’est la grosse prod. Là, c’est pas une grosse prod, c’est du lo-fi défini je pense. C’est-à-dire qu’à l’époque au début, on enregistrait à l’arrache. On se branchait direct dans des ordis et il n’y avait même pas d’amplis ni de batterie. Donc c’était vraiment super à l’arrache, mais c’était les seuls moyens qu’on avait. Au fur et à mesure, on augmente les moyens qu’on a et on chope du matos. Après nous, on a toujours aimé produire. Produire, ça ne veut pas dire-

Romain : Surproduire. (rires)

Arthur : Nan, mais ça ne veut pas dire chercher la qualité. Ca veut dire mettre en avant des idées d’écriture. Des fois ça passe par la recherche d’un type de son, des fois ça passe par la compression- par plein d’effets à la con dans le studio. Nous, on s’est équipés petit à petit avec du matos qui a permis de définir les idées qu’on avait dans les disques d’avant, tu vois ? Donc pour moi, c’est plus préciser ce qu’on a toujours aimé faire plutôt que de le rendre propre.

Oui, je vois ce que tu veux dire. Par propre, je voulais juste dire qu’on entendait mieux chaque instrument par rapport à vos débuts par exemple.

Arthur : Oui exactement, mais il y a plein de gens qui le pensent. C’est pour ça que c’est bien de le dire. Je n’aimerais pas que les gens se mettent en tête qu’entendre mieux les instruments, ça veut dire commencer à être trop producteur- c’est pas vrai. Ce qu’on veut faire, c’est comme lorsqu’on a de la terre glaise : au début c’est quelque chose de brouillon, et on le taille de mieux en mieux. Ce qu’on fait en ce moment, c’est faire apparaître les mélodies qui sont là depuis le début dans nos disques, qu’on entendait moins parce qu’avant c’était un peu couvert par une prod à l’arrache, des trucs comme ça. C’est plus un travail de sculpteur que de balayeur.

Paula : C’est un peu comme- au début, quand on avait des idées pour des morceaux c’était un peu tout le temps la même chose. On avait des mélodies avec une base assez pop, et une construction quand même assez recherchée, et ça depuis le début. Mais au début, tu n’es pas trop capable de l’enregistrer, ni trop capable de la chanter en ce qui me concerne. Du coup, c’est enregistré un peu moins bien, avec des moyens différents de ceux d’aujourd’hui – on a des micros plus chers par exemple – et vu que tu n’es pas sûre de ta voix, tu rajoutes des effets, de la reverb, du delay, des choses comme ça. Après aujourd’hui, c’est vraiment la même chose sauf que tu évolues- tu enregistres un peu mieux, tu as de meilleurs micros. Mais à la base c’est tout le temps des mélodies et de la pop.

Arthur : Oui, super pop et super mélodique. Mais là où elle a raison c’est aussi qu’avec le temps on chante et on joue un peu mieux… c’est de la pratique. Tu commences à pouvoir faire ce que tu as dans la tête de plus en plus facilement on va dire.

Paula : Du coup tu assumes un peu plus ce que tu fais, et tu mets moins d’effets.

Arthur : C’est un grand mal du garage on va dire, le fait de souvent tomber dans les clichés avec ce genre d’effets- le fait d’essayer de constamment mettre des échos sur la voix, de la réverb. C’est devenu un espèce d’effet scolaire quoi ! Tout le monde l’a utilisé, alors que je pense que c’est quelque chose qui vient à la base de la maladresse des premiers groupes qui l’ont utilisé. Tu t’en sers pour placer ta voix de manière un peu jolie dans le mix. C’est devenu un automatisme, alors qu’il y a des gens qui ne s’en rendent pas compte, qui ont des super belles voix que t’as envie d’entendre. Derrière ces effets, ils oublient qu’ils sont en train de grandir, de s’améliorer. Cela leur permettrait de proposer autre chose. C’est pas obligé bien-sûr, mais ils peuvent proposer autre chose. Nous on a essayé d’explorer ça en tout cas.

Oui, je voulais en parler aussi. Et aussi sur le fait de vous définir. J’ai l’impression qu’au fil des albums, il y a toujours une ligne qui fait que vous avez votre propre style musical. On arrive à reconnaître la ligne J.C. Satàn ! (rires)

Arthur : C’est cool que tu dises ça. Ça fait du bien de l’entendre !

Paula : Oui, il y a des morceaux où les gens disent « ah oui, ça c’est vraiment du J.C. Satàn. »

Arthur : C’est mon rêve qu’on reconnaisse l’écriture du groupe.

Romain : Oui, je pense qu’on a quand même réussi à- justement, c’est pour cela qu’on a eu tendance à s’écarter de la scène garage, c’est qu’on trouvait que dans cette scène il y avait beaucoup de groupes qui avaient tendance à toujours repomper les mêmes sons. Sans vouloir les critiquer, mais je crois que nous, on n’a jamais vraiment cherché à faire cela.

Arthur : Je pense que dès le début, on a accepté le chemin qu’il y avait entre le grand écart du garage indé dans lequel on a appris à jouer ensemble, à tourner etc., et les influences musicales qu’on avait qui étaient plus mainstream, plus nineties. Des trucs à la Breeders ou Queens of the Stone Age qu’on cite souvent, qui sont moins acceptés dans le domaine du garage indépendant. On a accepté de se trouver au milieu de cela, et le milieu c’est peut-être là où ça ressemble à J.C. Satàn ! Là où il y a beaucoup de gens qui préfèrent appartenir à une scène parce que c’est plus rassurant, où à embrasser complètement autre chose parce que ça touche plus de gens, je pense qu’on a accepté de faire le chemin au milieu de tous ces trucs.

C’est intéressant ce que tu disais au sujet des groupes qui se copient entre eux. Il y a longtemps, j’avais fait une petite interview avec Mac Demarco par mail (ndlr: par ici, je commençais à peine), avant qu’il n’explose. Le son de guitare chorus qu’il utilisait n’était pas encore répandu comme aujourd’hui. Je lui ai demandé si ce son était volontaire, et il m’a répondu qu’en fait il ne savait pas vraiment ce qu’il faisait en enregistrant, mais qu’il avait trouvé ça cool. Du coup il l’avait gardé ! Maintenant suite à son succès tout le monde utilise cette guitare chorus.

Arthur : Exactement, c’est l’un des meilleurs exemples que tu puisses donner. En plus ça a suivi à fond ! Et justement, ça fait un peu hippie de dire ça mais le problème c’est que les gens se rassurent en suivant un bon exemple, alors que Mac Demarco, tout ce qu’il a fait c’est écouter ce qu’il avait dans la tête, et en écrivant le morceau il s’est dit « c’est le son qui correspond le mieux à ce que j’ai dans la tête », et tac il le met ! Le truc, c’est qu’aujourd’hui il y a largement assez de moyens et d’effets d’ordinateur pour mettre en avant les idées que tu as dans la tête et trouver des choses étonnantes. Et ce qui est un peu terrifiant, c’est de voir que les gens ne prennent pas cette peine au moment dans le monde où c’est le plus facile de le faire quoi. Il suffit de se brancher à un ordi et en 4 secondes tu as tous les sons de l’univers ! Les gens préfèrent suivre une voie qu’un mec a découvert seul.

Paula : Après, pour commencer je trouve que c’est normal. Quand tu es un peu jeune, c’est normal de suivre. Tu te dis « c’est un génie ! ».

Arthur : Mais ça me rappelle quand j’étais chez Gaspard et qu’on avait écouté ce groupe des années 90, Teenage Fanclub. Personnellement, je n’aime pas du tout ce groupe, mais je ne savais pas qu’ils étaient aussi vieux ! Et je me disais « ils ont copié les trucs des 90s », alors que le disque était de genre 89-90. En fait c’était vraiment des pionniers quoi ! (rires) Ce qui est terrifiant, c’est qu’une fois que tout le monde suit ça, malheureusement le génie qui a eu la bonne idée d’avoir ce truc propre à lui qui est unique, il n’existe plus quoi. Il appartient lui-même à la scène qu’il a engendrée, il est noyé là-dedans. C’est dommage.

Romain : Ouais, donc on a notre son J.C. Satàn, sauf qu’on a pas encore la scène autour ! (rires)

Paula : Nous on ne l’a pas fait, on ne laisse pas les autres nous copier hein !

Je voulais aussi parler de ma chanson préférée sur l’album, Complex Situation. Quelle est l’histoire derrière la chanson ?

Paula : Le texte parle d’une personne qui tue quelqu’un. Du coup, il commence à avoir des voix dans la tête. En fait, il y a une personne qui dit « Complex Situation under control », j’ai tué quelqu’un mais tout va bien. Et le refrain, c’est la voix dans la tête qui dit non, « you’re guilty ». C’est la même personne en fait. Et c’est pour cela que ça devient de plus en plus tendu, elle se rend compte qu’elle devient folle. Et à la fin, elle dit à cette voix d’arrêter de lui parler « you can’t talk to me ».

Arthur : C’est cool que tu l’aimes bien, parce que du coup ce morceau c’est vraiment un hors-piste. Comparé à la plupart de nos morceaux où il y a des solos de guitare et tout, là on voulait partir sur quelque chose où il n’y avait pas de guitare. La partie où il n’y a pas de guitare, c’est là où est le cœur du morceau. Et on voulait faire un truc un peu plus technoïde, on a fait un son de batterie plus particulier, plus écrasé. Qui a l’air plus électro je trouve. On se demandait un peu ce que les gens pouvaient en penser, mais il y a plein de gens qui l’aiment bien en réalité. Et on le joue aussi sur scène, mais ce n’était pas un morceau évident à faire pour nous. On était toujours sur des grosses guitares quoi !

Si vous deviez enregistrer un album dans un endroit pas du tout réaliste, que choisiriez-vous entre la lune, le macdo et l’enfer ?

Dorian : Il n’y a pas de son sur la lune !

Arthur : Moi je choisirais le Macdo, parce que c’est un peu l’enfer ! (rires) Ou je choisirais l’enfer, parce que l’avantage c’est que vu que dans ma tête ça n’existe pas, je pourrais en faire ce que je veux ! Je pourrais créer le studio le plus classe de la terre.

Dorian : Tu l’appellerais « L’Enfer ». (rires) Hyper ringard.

Paula : Avec l’ingé son lucifer là, méga ringard !

Gaspard : Sur la lune, c’est quand même là où ce serait le plus joli. Tu peux te faire un studio là-bas.

Arthur : Mais la lune, on sait comment c’est. L’enfer, tu ne sais pas. Je suis curieux, je préfèrerais un endroit où je ne saurais pas ce que ça va donner !

Paula : Pas au Macdo, c’est sûr.

Arthur : Le Macdo c’est moche. Il faut être à l’aise dans l’endroit où t’enregistres. La prochaine fois qu’on enregistre, j’aimerais bien aller dans un endroit classe, cosy. Je choisis quand même l’enfer, mais je trouve ça cliché !

Enfin, si vous pouviez donner un conseil aux jeunes J.C. Satàn d’il y a 8 ans, que leur diriez-vous ?

Arthur : Je lui dirais « ne change rien du tout, t’es super ». (rires) Je suis désolé, mais je suis hyper fier de la manière dont on évolue ! Même si on aurait pu tenter des choses où aller plus vite là où on est avec ce qu’on a fait, je trouve quand même important qu’on ne se soit pas précipités. Là où on est aujourd’hui, c’est que parce qu’on est partis d’être nuls, en aspirant à devenir les meilleurs possibles. Et de la manière la plus naturelle qui soit, c’est-à-dire en trimant, en tournant comme des fous, en rencontrant plein de gens et en se faisant des potes. Et on est quasiment redevables qu’à nous-mêmes et à quelques personnes qui ont misé sur nous.

Paula : Il n’y en a pas eu beaucoup !

Arthur : Je dirais aux J.C. Satàn : Soyez patients. Arrêtez de croire qu’il faut brûler des étapes, parce que c’est pas vrai.

That malicious spirit [Satan (and his hordes)] is unwearied in his efforts to do us harm, He is ever watching for our halting, and seeking an occasion to destroy our souls. But nowhere perhaps is the devil so active as in a congregation of Gospel-hearers. Nowhere does he labor so hard to stop the progress of that which is good, and to prevent men and women from being saved. From him come wandering thoughts and roving imaginations — listless minds and dull memories — sleepy eyes and fidgety nerves — weary ears and distracted attention. In all these things Satan has a great hand. People wonder where they come from, and marvel how it is that they find sermons so dull, and remember them so badly! They forget the parable of the sower. They forget the devil. (J.C. Ryle. ‘Expository Thoughts on Luke,’)

The Holy Spirit really used these statements from J.C Ryle to convict me of the possibility of self righteousness secretly creeping into my heart. The righteousness I possess does not even from my own doing but from Christ’s obedience and righteousness which was imputed on me when He was crucified for the sins of His people. This means I have nothing to boast about or be prideful of because even the very faith and right standing with God is given by Him through Christ as well.

I humbly implore, O LORD, that you save me from these sins because I want to glorify you and not mock you by the way I think and act towards others. Help me to extend grace to them as you do with me because I was once like the people I want to reach out; I was once blind and not familiar with the truth which can only be found in your Word. I do not want to be right about the arguments I bring on the table when they ask me about matters of faith. What matters to me is that they may see your holiness as glorious and majestic as it really is and the truth will finally set them free from the lies of this world, our flesh, and Satan. I do not want them to be deceived, as I was once deceived, that the only thing You want for us is to be happy and live prosperous lives and no Hell will be there for us when we go against your Word and live by the way we want. There will be accountability in the end for all of our thoughts, words, and actions, Lord, as you have sternly warned us in the Bible. So I really hope that they may taste and see that you alone, O LORD, are good and nothing else could ever be good for us but you being our God. Thank you, Heavenly Father for preserving your Word, the Holy Scriptures, that you may preserve your people too and not let them wander from you. Thank you, Christ Jesus, for interceding for your people and being the perfect High Priest for us who can never experience grace apart from You. Thank you, Holy Spirit, for ever guiding my deceitful heart into what really matters and what is pleasing to the Father. May all the glory and honor and praise be to You, O LORD of heaven and earth! Amen! Amen!

The Old Serpent by J.C. Ryle

“Let us first mark in this passage, the power and unwearied malice of the devil. That old serpent who tempted Adam to sin in Paradise, was not afraid to assault the second Adam, the Son of God.

Whether he understood that Jesus was ‘God manifest in the flesh’ may perhaps be doubted. But that he saw in Jesus One who had come into the world to overthrow his kingdom, is clear and plain.

He had seen what happened at our Lord’s baptism. He had heard the marvellous words from heaven. He felt that the great Friend of man was come, and that his own dominion was in peril.

The Redeemer had come. The prison door was about to be thrown open. The lawful captives were about to be set free. All this, we need not doubt, Satan saw, and resolved to fight for his own.

The prince of this world would not give way to the Prince of peace without a mighty struggle.

He had overcome the first Adam in the garden of Eden;—why should be not overcome the second Adam in the wilderness? He had spoiled man once of Paradise;—why should he not spoil him of the kingdom of God?”

“um..twen~twenty~five.”

fuck. what the fuck! i tried to make it as close to sir’s age as possible, but 25 is the first number that pops into my head!

“twenty~five?” the mother repeats with somewhat surprise. “my boy’s what? twel..” she does the math in her head, “thirteen years older than you?”

actually 20, but 13’s fine too.

i’m obviously getting agitated by the tone in her voice and i guess my lovely date notices this because he places his hand on my thigh. it’s not like i was gonna say or do anything, lol. wait, maybe i was… damn, he knows me more than i know myself.

“mum,” sir speaks up, “don’t make it such a big deal.”

“oh, no, no, no, just making small talk, luv. that’s all,” she backpaddles.

“well, then, let’s talk about you guys,” mr killian retorts. “how’s life treating ya, dad?”

“well, son, business is business as per usual,” he replies. “revenue is good. great, actually. still would have been nice to have you back, though.”

“nah, dad, i reckon that ship has already sailed.”

“‘sailed?’, haha haha,” the father laughs mockingly. “well, if it weren’t for me, son, you wouldn’t be able to afford that bottle of champagne you just ordered.”

“you and i both know i worked my ass off at that company of yours,” sir hits back. “i earned it, dad. all of it.”

“boys, behave now, speaking of company, we have company,” the mother nods at me, her trying to be nice isn’t working.

sir sighs, “fine, tell me, how’s life back home, hm?”

whilst they proceed chit~chatting about their lives and jobs, my date proceeds to do something else under the table. something sinful.

hell naw, not in front of his parents. i won’t be able to control myself! what is he thinking?! just nope. not happening.

i grab his hand and place it on his own thigh. he scoffs arrogantly at my disapproval. which results in the parents’ voices fading and intense frowns replacing their expressions.

“oh, no, no,” sir quickly readdresses them. “i wasn’t..that wasn’t..it wasn’t what it looked like. it wasn’t directed at you guys taking that sick dog you ran over to the vet. i definitely wasn’t laughing. forgive me, how is it..she, i mean? is she doing well now?”    

lmao, he’s messing up so bad, it’s hilarious.

after regaining the flow of the conversation pre quick, he latches onto my femur once more, but this time the grip is unyielding. again, i put my fingers between his knuckles to get his leech of a grip off of me. only he hardens it, forcing a pleasurable sensation to trickle up and around my pelvis.

i inhale a long breath of oxygen, so long that the parents pause and wait stiffly for my exhale.

meanwhile, mr killian casually takes a sip from his drink like he’s so interested in what his mum has got to say. his mouth curves into a devilish grin, finding the fact that i can’t express my pleasure openly hella entertaining. this piece of shit!

he softens his hold...

okay, good, great, amazing!

then, he smoothly glides his hand up.

fuck.

i quickly lock my legs together like a venus flytrap.

sir puts his mouth next to my ear, “spread your legs, rosé.”

his voice. that tone. it has the capacity to liquefy the adamantine jewel necklace around my neck. liquefy or maybe tighten it to the point where i am choking by the hands of crystals and a voice too concupiscent for my threshold. slightly, i loosen my legs. not enough. barely enough. i’m fucked. that’s just all there is to it. i am fucked.

“wider,” he whispers in that velvety tone.

i do so an inch more, my face heating up as if i just opened an oven door.

“don’t make a sound,” his libidinous warning just an earshot away from his parents.

how in the hell can they not hear?

his fingers reach the waistband of my panties. this cannot be happening right now. don’t do it. don’t you dare. do not..ohh..damn.. he slides his fingers diagonally under the elastic.

fuck x2.

“so how did you two come to meet?” the mum finds a way to direct the convo back at us, or to me, specifically speaking.

with them talking about the vet earlier, i blurt out, “hospital.”

why am i like this?!!!!!

mr killian’s wayward hand halts and i don’t know if i’m pleased or disappointed.

“yeah, well,” i put more confidence in my voice. i’ll just have to make an elaborate story up. i should be good at this. “i was there with my family. my little brother broke his arm so we were getting an x~ray done.”

“oh, is he doing okay?” they both fake sympathise.

mr killian’s fingers catch rhythm again and i try to finish my fabrication off as quickly as possible so that he doesn’t make me fucking orgasm in the middle of it!

“no, yeah, he’s..he’s perfectly healed now.”

sir’s fingers on their way to their destination brush against my shaved extremities and the strip of hair in the centre. i am stock~still, captivated, embarrassed, red hot frozen. red hot frozen? yeah, fucking red hot frozen!! so are the parents with this storytelling of mine.

my breathing slows as i know what’s about to happen in just a matter of seconds.

“i went to get a snack from the indoor vending machine when~”

without a warning, he inserts a finger right into my vajayjay and i stop talking midsentence. my back is as straight as an iron board. sir shifts his sit a little closer to me so that he can get his finger in the deepest that he can. i clench around him so damn hard as a sign for him to get it the hell out of me, but all he does is clear his throat.

he

clears

his

throat.

that’s all!

“well,” the mother arches a demanding overtweezed eyebrow, “what happened after?”

“babe, you okay?” sir asks me ever so boldly; i could detect the libido hidden in his tone a mile away. “you were getting to the best part.”

“sorry, one moment,” i give the folks a pursed smile before facing my date and pulling him down by the tie to hiss, “fucking quit it right now!”

he finds it amusing.

brah, this bitch.

“not in front of your parents…!”

“did i have a say with that bj at work?” is the only thing he says and brings his head back up to eye level with his parents. “anyways, where were we? after paying, her food got stuck and that’s when i saw her,” he finishes off for me.

so this is what it’s about? to have a one up on the other? to level out the playing field?! i am going to deck him so fucking hard when we get back home!!

“she told me ‘don’t bother, it’s a money~hungry machine that exploits from vulnerable people’,” he continues passionately like it truly happened.

the father cackles.

“so i asked rosé which one she was going for and i paid for the same one which helped push her one out along with mine.”

the father takes the chance to add a little anecdote of his own. this gives sir time to concentrate on his avocation.

he pumps a finger in and out of me. i can feel myself getting wetter and wetter with each pump. i try extremely, terribly hard to maintain a straight face; it’s taking every muscle in my face to do so. i lowkey don’t want him to stop and i’m highkey having trouble remaining casual about it.

“s~sir, please stop,” i croak out.

“‘stop’ what?” he murmurs cockily, curling his finger inside me just to further taunt me. “i don’t see anything happening,” he gestures over the table with his other hand. “do you?”

arghhhhhhhh!!!!!

just when i thought i could manage it, he finds a second pair for his index finger by inserting his middle finger in. he scissors me, pumping in and out more vigorously now to tease the real thing.

he leans into me and whispers, “i want to fuck you so bad on this table right now.”

my eyes pop wide open, “sir...”

“shhh, sweetheart, or i’ll put in a third digit,” he threatens.

his voice stimulates me, his foreshadowing, his fingers and i just cannot keep up with this god slash satan of a man any longer! so forgive me when my control is deteriorating in keeping the extreme ecstasy at bay. my face is getting sweaty and i’m becoming sloppy.

accidentally, i release a deep moan like i just ate the most satisfying cake on planet earth.

fucking.

kill.

me.

now.

sir’s racy fingers become frozen inside of me. he drops his fork and it clanks on the plate. he facepalms so that he can hide his face from his parents’ view. omg, why is he the one embarrassed?! the father chokes on his food, hitting his chest mildly, and the mother immediately stops chewing.

“a~are you okay, dear?” the mum asks unsurely. she needs closure, needs something to rid her of what the both of them do not want to bring their minds to.

“yeah, yeah! stomach pains, aha,” i say with an ‘oh it’s nothing’ giggle.

she doesn’t pressure me on it, instead, “adorable, isn’t it?” she asks the hubby. “except why were you in the hospital, isaac? were you all well?”

dessert is served and sir gradually removes his sticky fingers out of me.

thank the saviour above!

“i was well. my class had an excursion there and i was supervising them,” he replies.

“what does an english literature class have to do with a hospital?” she needles him.

“many things, mum, many things,” he utters, slightly irritated. “perhaps if you took up extra english literature classes, you’d know.”

“isaac!” the father snaps, his accent with the pronunciation of his son’s name ‘i~zack’ makes it sound so very profound. “that is in no way to speak to your mother like that!”

“you’re right,” mr killian puts up no fight and dips two fingers, the fingers into the chocolate sauce poured around the panna cotta. “that was wrong of me. i apologise.”

i watch him bring the chocolate coated fingers inside his mouth before slowly pulling them out as all the sauce smoothly slides off.

i’m pretty sure my man, j.c, has left heaven himself.

“this is delicious,” he tells the waitress above, conceited and all. “what’s in here again?”

Happy are they, who in the matter of marriage observe three rules. The first is to marry only in the Lord, and after prayer for God’s approval and blessing. The second is not to expect too much from their partners, and to remember that marriage is, after all, the union of two sinners, and not of two angels. The third rule is to strive first and foremost for one another’s sanctification. The more holy married people are, the happier they are. - J.C. Ryle

Questions to ask yourself before posting to social media: 1. Is it profitable? 2. Does it edify? 3. How does it disciple others? 4. Am I exalting self or Christ? 5. Is it clear? 6. Do I have an argumentative spirit? 7. Does it promote sound doctrine? 8. Does it glorify God? - Dustin Benge

Following Christ will lead us into the storms of life, but better to be in raging tempests with Him than in false peace without Him. - Steven Lawson

Although the believer will battle with sin, and at times suffer loss, it does not diminish the fact that both his heart and affections have been transformed. His sin is no longer a cause for delight and boasting, but of mourning and confession. - Paul Washer

Sin always hides the price tag. - Garrett Kell

If you want a happy life, it will be filled with brokenness, conviction, and repentance over sin with teary eyes that are fixed on Christ. - Burk Parsons

To know that nothing happens in God's world apart from God's will may frighten the godless, but it stabilizes the saints. - J.I. Packer

This truth of God must be loved, must be embraced, and must be yielded to if the person who has saving knowledge is to be saved by it. One theologian has written that it is not enough to “understand” but you must also “stand under.” - John Gerstner

Give me the grace to do as You command, and command me to do what You will! When Your commands are obeyed, it is from You that we receive the power to obey them. - Augustine

Knowing doctrines of the Bible, by itself, means very little...especially without a relationship with Jesus. Satan knows the Scriptures better than I ever will, and yet he's the greatest enemy of God. Knowing about God isn't enough: you must know God. - Trevor Sheatz

When's the last time you prayed for someone you dislike from a heart of genuine love, sincerely desiring their best? Don't get caught up in the American culture of dumping people who hurt you; get caught up in the biblical command to love those who hate you. - Trevor Sheatz
