“Absolution"

By Crystal Lee Lucas

[jules-and-rue-and-lexi-too]

[mitjalovse]

A great cover song transcends the original thanks to the ways the latter only pointed at. For instance, Joan Jett and her band took what the Arrows did, but they transformed the entire thing into something sleazier, if I am allowed to claim this. I mean, the original sounds almost polite in comparison to how Mrs. Jett modifies the composition. As you can hear her vocals get asserted throughout the tune in a winning manner, she also manages to establish her powerful rock star persona that was surprising for the time. Moreover, the backing got a dose of steroids, because the riff the Arrows played became nastier. However, she kept the pop elements of the previous version, which become more pronounced with her changes.

me, trying to explain the plot of yellowjackets: ok so pretty much jackie and shauna are in love but lottie wants to be the father of shauna’s baby but lottie also loves loves laura lee as well as nat but nat’s dating travis but misty lovingly helps her overcome her grief and THEY fall for each other but misty was also falling for crystal but mari has a love/hate relationship with misty but mari also had a thing for jackie who was dating jeff but jeff is married to shauna but she’s emotionally cheating on him with tai but tai never stopped being in love with van even though she’s married to simone but-

what they're like when they're in love [lookism] - 𓆩♡𓆪

someone who becomes very carnal, oddly in tune with their feelings. if they feel like they can't have you, they become sulky and ruminating.

Eugene, DG, Taesoo

they hate being ignored, they will make you love them one way or another. you can't escape them.

Jaegyeon Na, Geonseob Ji, Goo Kim, Gyeoul Baek, James Lee, Gitae Kim

wya babygirl. they are forward and not afraid to show their love. gifts, dates, kisses, everything.

Kouji, Jihan Kwak

it's either or for them. they're okay if you don't like them back and are fine with being friends. may not even show their feelings at all.

Eli Jang, Warren Chae, Hangyeoul Baek, Gun Park

will slowly and carefully seduce you with their romance. they're very sure of themselves.

Jake Kim, Sinu Han

they continue being friends in hopes you will eventually feel the same way. might confess later on if they have the courage.

Daniel Park, Johan Seong, Jay Hong, Zack Lee, Gija Kim, Mira Kim, Zoe Park, Crystal Choi

confesses right away hoping they are accepted.

Vasco, Hudson Ahn

confesses right away hoping they are rejected.

Samuel Seo, Vin Jin, Mary Kim, Jichang Kwak, Jace Park

they don't do anything.

Mandeok Bang, Jinyoung Park, Jerry Kwon, Jibeom Kwak, Yuseong

“Phases” by Crystal Lee Lucas

[sscarletvenus]

GUN IN LOOKISM 506 ANALYSIS? WELL, SORT OF. mostly me yapping.

starting off with these Charles Choi lines said to Eugene...

during Kenta's backstory montage in the second affiliate, we see Gun as a child has already attained UI stage. physically, he has from the start (an interesting narrative choice i believe) been set apart as someone who has ascended mortal thresholds. no one in the story until now has his degree of UI proficiency, and the stage itself remained unseen or unheard of until Daniel reaches it.

in some ways, there is something eerily non-human about this particular manifestation of his strength. his existence is forever a pariah in the realm of humanity.

aside from the morphological louche qualities, Gun's ideals and thoughts have never aligned with the either the minds of his successor candidates or friends.

everyone in this story follows or strives to achieve certain purpose. revenge, romance, family, friends, self-preservation, money, power... all of which can ultimately be rounded off to humane desires and needs.

not Gun. Never. what he does have is, a morbid obsession with death, a frantic fascination to kill or be killed.

human nature is typically averse to the idea of death, which most perceive as an end. we know little about Gun's actual discernment of death. maybe it is linked to his yakuza upbringing, where death is matter of inches, everyday lived on knife's edge. to be subjected to a lifestyle of abject horror as a child irreversibly changes your psyche, after you have become so familiar with death, you associate some sentimentality with it. death is the only constant. so maybe, just maybe, he seeks it as comfort. as relief.

for him to kill is the greatest sincerity, and he displays this same sincerity to his master, i.e., Kenta's father. it's not cruel for him, battle is simply a means of honoring someone he respects. it's too terrifying to be comprehend by the mortal mind (Kenta cannot), but humans have never known the minds of gods or devils.

enacting violence is the most intimacy he can muster, as has been seen throughout the story. for all the atrocities he has inflicted upon the crewheads, he nurtures them because they show promise. he keeps them alive in hopes that someday they too can pay their respects to their master, kill him and reciprocate his outmost sincerity, show their devotion just like he has.

he is enraged and disappointed because they have another primary purpose that makes killing him secondary, he is infuriated because they fail to be sincere in annihilating him.

maybe this is why he's the way he is about UI Daniel, another inhumane creature of pure instinct who is not bound by man's fickleness towards death. hence the psychosexual infatuation.

"Let's kill each other," is what Gun says, upon meeting someone cursed by the same fate of never being human, such as himself.

Gun is insepreable from the idea of death in comic. perhaps i will make a more coherent and comprehensible post on the same some other day.

Slippery When Wet (1986)

New Jersey (1988)

Propaganda: Genre-defying powerhouse of a band. So many classic songs. Every member was some flavor of hot but Richie was married Heather Locklear hot and Jon was hot enough to make you want to take a risk on a Jersey boy. Their stage show was iconic with Jon, Richie and Alec fitted with wires so they could be lifted up and fly out over the crowd mid-performance. (See the video for Livin' on a Prayer to see this in action) They're still performing to this day and Jon is still married to his high school sweetheart which I think is kind of adorable.

My hierarchy of the queer Yellowjacket ships:

tier 1 that one friend who ruined your life that you still think about: Obviously this is JackieShauna

tier 2 soulmates: Taivan are soulmates to me, no matter how toxic. AND Crystal and Misty were definitely soulmates. Idk if they were romantic soulmates but soulmates none the less.

tier 3 lovers: In this tier i placed Lottienat, Mistynat, and MariLottie. I’ve not seen anyone ship Mari at all. I think she and Lottie would make a great pair. Mari would make lottie laugh a lot 💖

tier 4 friends: i hope most the girlies are friends!! but i listed Jackie and Misty, Natvan, Taishauna, and Shauna and Lottie. I loved how soft jackie was with misty at times. Nat and Van being childhood best friends is one of my favorite headcanons.

tier 5 acquaintances: Jackie and nat. self explanatory imo
