top 5 concepts you have seen in kpop (plus which group did it best)

okay im not that aware and clear about concepts so pls do not mind a messy answer, also i guess most of them are based on the overall vibe of the song + the mv. thanks for the ask moon bby <3

the so called noise music: yes it's a concept for me, i love it so very much. my fav songs/groups: chain by nct 127 (my kings of noise music). miroh by stray kids (the princes of noise music). my turn by cravity (they're so underrated like fucking hell). bad habits by cravity (serim stop whispering). maverick by the boyz. the list is endless trust me.

mature/sexy: it's very professional how they perform mature concepts tbh my fav songs/groups: be natural by red velvet (they slayed so bad it's never gonna come back). love killa by monsta x (on my knees as we speak). lil touch by oh!gg (it's quite elegant too).

school concepts: the one w uniforms and first crushes (it's sO cute). my fav songs/groups: mansae by seventeen. my first and last by nct dream. growl by exo.

female badass (?)/ girl crush: as clichè as it is, they always slay. my fav songs/groups: hobogoblin by clc. bad boy by red velvet (though the track isn't as heavy as the others, it's very much insane). crazy by 4minute (nobody does it like them pls). the boys by girls generation. first by everglow. (tbh this concept speaks for itself literally every song is so iconic.)

creepy/eerie/dark: it's so interesting oh god my fav songs/groups: memem by purple kiss. every dreamcatcher song ever. jungle by cix (totally based on the mv). obsession by exo. special mentions retro: groovy by cravity (i love love them so damn much). home run by seventeen. cinema by cix. idk how to explain this concept but they give you a nostalgic + a calm aesthetic which still troubles you with sorrow: salty by the boyz. lovesick girls by blackpink. dear dream by nct dream.

When Macaque can take his relationship with Sun Wukong falling apart better than Megatron does with Optimus.

why cant you be more like macaque, he just beat some people up and put on plays until he felt better

anyway enjoy this niche crossover

part of the reason i like noir fiction (specifically literary) is that writing it well is challenging. there's no particular prose style you have to hit, necessarily, the trappings of the genre are more to do with its subject matter and endings (sex, death, greed, and usually unhappy as a result of the sex, death, and greed). but a lot of them gravitate towards a certain style, myself included, because it just works so well, which is paring back everything you can, as much as you can. that's fun to do! it turns into a game. it's easy to overwrite something, but it's a real bitch to pack an entire location into one telegrammatic sentence and then have that be good. i still think i miss more than i hit, but that's the nature of it, because when you do pull it off you feel like you could fight a truck and win. the IT'S SO OVER WE'RE SO BACK highs and lows swing higher and lower because there's nowhere to hide from your reader

Oh cool you're a gamer? Normally I'd claim such a chill and nebulous label for myself, but thanks to a helpful anon I now know instead that the proper term is "piece of shit"

batman: son of the demon

[ID: three panels of Bruce Wayne and Talia al Ghul being in love (and horny) for each other. In the first one, Bruce is in their luxurious bedroom for the first time and is awkwardly standing in his costume as Talia is behind a dressing screen and is changing into a white, satin négligée with lace detailing on it. She reminds him that they technically are married (and that she consented readily to it) but Bruce confesses, “I remember. But it's hard for me to consider that marriage real.” Talia emerges from behind the screen, looking as beautiful as ever as she walks up to him and eases his cowl off. She tells him, “Beloved, you give too much thought to what is ‘real,’ and what is not, to what is ‘true,’ and what is ‘false...’ I realize that is your way, but just this once, accept things as they are...” He strips himself of his clothes as they move to the bed—Talia laying on her back as he's between her legs. She continues to speak, “Forego your control, your discipline... just once, let yourself go... and take me with you.” Her arms slip around his neck as they kiss passionately.

The second panel is lineart of them against a white background. They look at each other lovingly, her hands reaching up to be on his shoulders as he holds her waist. The narration boxes read: ‘While still finding time to be a newlywed, a role in which he is quite unskilled... but—to his delight—quickly learns.’

In the third panel, several weeks have past. Bruce and Ra's al Ghul are walking before Talia interrupts and asks her beloved for a word. Bruce starts to ask if it can wait, due to him and Ra's discussing an important mission but she tells him it cannot. Ra's reassures, “Go, detective, we shall speak of this later.” Bruce and Talia pull away to talk in private, the background a beautiful, bright ombré of red and yellows. She has her arms up on his shoulders as he holds her waist and starts to ask, “Now, Talia, what's so impor—” but she quickly shares, “Beloved, I am with child.” Bruce starts to repeat her but Talia already confirms again, “I am pregnant.” She continues to look up at him, patiently waiting for his response as Bruce stares straight ahead, obviously in shock. He slowly repeats the words back to her in an attempt to register them, “You're... pregnant?” Before he suddenly beams! He pulls her into a tight, close embrace as he excitedly announces, “That's wonderful!” Talia smiles at him and says, “Isn't it?” Before her father can shake Bruce's hand with his own warm smile. Bruce still holds Talia's hand as Ra's tells him, “Detective, Dr. Weltmann could not keep this from me. My congratulations.” END ID]

Just saw this comment on a story posted a month ago.

*cries in Eddie Munson Solo Series no one wanted to read, interact with or request for*

No shade to the person that commented this on their own fic if you recognize it. It's not their fault. I'm not mad at them. More crying in the tags.

More sketchy employee profile images. Mostly made to be able to replace the picrew I had in the template I made since I can draw. I did end up just putting it as back and white though but the color is just nice to have. I'm STILL trying to tweak the template since it is very finicky and there is an example of what it looks down below if you're interested. It is a lot. It will happen. I am just not the quickest

There are typos and inconsistencies I missed but in general it should be fine...

a very long winded and incoherent yap session about me talking about why Keith working with the blade is both an act of self discovery and what he thinks is right, how losing red and being forced to take leadership for even a short period of time left him feeling displaced, how he doesn’t have a spot with the paladins anymore, how it effected him when they were ready to replace shiro with someone else how the weight of the universe weighs on their shoulders and they don’t get a choice about what sacrifice that entails. the fact that he was so ready to sacrifice himself and then winced fucking grimaced as he thought he was going to die fuck off,

They don’t show it much I think he only goes out there once or twice but the little patio off Alan’s office is so cute… his enclosure for reading comics and talking about cannibalism

Sometimes I suspect autism and then I immediately push it down into the gutter and forget that I could ever have it. Like why was I so shy my kindergarten teacher who was 70 at the time and had been doing it for about 40-50 years suspected something was wrong with how shy I was and only when my sibling came during parent teacher conferences did she think this kid is a Little Normal because at least I played with them 😭 why do I walk on my toes and pace around listening to the same song on repeat for 4 hours. Why do I SUCK at making conversation irl and freeze up and feel stuck like I can't do anything when people are watching me. What is wrong with my brain other than the fact that I'm mentally a little unwell

There's an English class on Golden Age detective fiction being offered next semester but the prerequisite for it is the intro to literary study class required for all English majors (which I haven't taken because I'm in a hard STEM major and don't have much time for electives, which means that I have to be really picky with my electives and only go for stuff I like AND doesn't have an awful workload) and also even if I did have that prereq, I wouldn't be able to take the class because it's at the same time as one of my major reqs. And also I'll be in two labs next semester and one of them is pure hell so like I literally don't have the time to take more than 13 credit hours (as tempting as it is to keep up my streak of taking 17-18 every semester even though it's been like really pretty bad for my social life and hobbies). Sigh. (Pressing my hand wistfully against the glass) maybe someday they'll offer the class again

[bittersweetresilience]

[oceanwithouthermoon]

okay i just put this in the tags of a different post but now i have to put it in another post so i can talk about it more <3

celestia and luna : kusuo and kusuke is NOT a cut and dry comparison and neither of them fit one or the other perfectly.. for the most part, kusuo is celestia and kusuke is luna (kusuke lashing out because he thinks kusuo is better than him, that things are easier for kusuo, kusuo not understanding, etc etc.) but the problem with that by itself is that that goes BOTH ways in almost the same exact way, the biggest difference is in how they cope with it all.. kusuo also sees himself in luna A LOT, but unlike kusuke he keeps his issues bottled up and never once takes it out on him.. he competes back to kusuke, especially when they were kids, but for the most part he doesnt WANT to and only does it because either 1) kusuke tries to make him feel inferior or 2) kusuke BRIBES him to do it ???

they both think the other has it better and wish that they could live the others life, and neither of them understand the others struggles (and probably never will fully, but hopefully itll get better for them.)

kusuo definitely watched mlp and thinks of HIMSELF as the luna or the 'nightmare moon' of the two of them because, even though he hasnt ever actually lashed out in that way, he knows how perfectly capable of it he is and he believes himself to be some sort of monster.. and its not really a rational way for him to see things, especially since he doesnt even usually view kusuke in a positive light ? but lunas story just hits home with him that badly..

this is just one reason why i think it sucks that kusuo being "powerless" basically only lasted a weekend, because we totally couldve gotten to see a "celestia and luna switching cutie marks for a day" kind of dynamic between kusuo and kusuke.. obviously not with kusuke having powers, but with him being above kusuo and more powerful than the general human race and realizing that being better than kusuo isnt what he wanted it to be..

and seeing how absolutely depressed and in denial kusuo becomes at first when he starts getting his powers back wouldve hit so much harder for kusuke if it had been a slower realization before kusuo could begin accepting himself again

Hey first I want to say that I really like your in depth posts on Dragon Age! Can I ask if you have any information and/or insights on the Jainen Circle from Legends? And do you think it's canon?

Everything That Happens Involving the Jainen Circle of Magi:

The First Enchanter is Jendrik whenever DAL is set (it's canonically sometime after the start of the 5th blight, but imo it's more specifically set somewhere from 9:34-9:37).

Sometime before you arrive in Jainen, the Circle is overrun by demons.

The leader of the local dragon cultists, Deymour, sends his lieutenant, Guillen, to kill Jendrik. If you head too far into Jainen without going to the Circle, Jendrik will die, otherwise you save him. If you save him, he's too wounded to help you so he just...leaves, I guess. He doesn't get any dialogue or a sprite or anything.

When you fight through the Circle, you fight both templars and mages (who are fighting together). I don't think you fight any demons until the very end, which has one desire demon as a boss.

The source of the demon(s) is Deymour who, as part of the overarching plot of DAL, is hosting a shard of a pride demon's soul in him. It's not explicitly stated that he summoned the demon(s), but his whole pride demon thing and also his general involvement (asking Guillen to kill Jendrik) is a pretty good indicator.

No matter the outcome, none of this is ever mentioned again.

Is the Jainen Circle Canon?

Nothing from DAL is canon.

That said, most of the game can be stretched to fit into canon (even Eiton being 'born Tranquil', fight me), and the Jainen Circle isn't any less realistic than anything else in DAL. Honestly, the main potential conflicts with canon are probably:

The times when we've been told how many circles there are (either 14 or 15; it's not even consistent). There are more than that listed on the wiki, even without including Jainen. However, quite a few of those Circles only have references from hundreds of years ago and may not exist anymore, so even 14 is enough to include Jainen as one of them.

Kinloch Hold is generally discussed in canon as THE Circle in Ferelden, replacing Denerim's Circle in 3:87. Maybe Jainen's just smaller or too remote or something, idk.

omg what did you just notice about the cadair idris battle scene? I'm so curious now

Oh, this is so genuinely deeply underwhelming, but this part of the battle way at the beginning:

I just hadn’t noticed that the automaton stood up as opposed to just sat up between these two moments, presumably in smooth motion:

ei, sat up, grabbed Henry, stood up while keeping hold on him, was standing by the time shit hit the span, presumably less than a second since Charlotte couldn’t bridge the gap.

For certain taking “a step forward” to tear out a silent brothers throat (uhhh RIP Brother Micah you were a walking death flag) requires standing at full height.

Plus logically speaking, to pull off that sort of attack on a 6’4 adult man then physically throwing his body is most logical if the automaton stands up. 

I specifically never processed the “took a step forward line” which a) gives means I evidently have the reading comprehension skills of a kindergartner and b) gave me an instant internal crisis.

 TLDR: when the automaton “sat up” it stood up, which makes complete sense, doesn’t really change anything, and I didn’t notice.
