Llpyd and Sora's dynamic is amazing because as opposed to being grouped into a father-daughter thing based on just ✨️vibes✨️, them having that relationship is supported Thematically which makes it 100% better.

Like I wouldn't say in canon they're even there just yet, but just because Lloyd has almost every parental issue on the planet and Sora has the ones he's missing, it makes me go like "Fuck yea that's his kid!!" Cuz they fucking deserve it. Sora had no parents and Lloyd had an, at best, weirdrelationship with both of his. It just fits you know?

Episode 5: Mother, Mother - Part 3

Scene 4 - Leuchtterm Bar und Grille, Lykke Center, Windenburg

[Evening breaks at a restaurant in town…]

Eva Capricciosa (Maître d'): Leuchtterm, how may I help you?

Clara Bjergsen: Björn, for God’s sake, stop sulking.

Patron: ...and then I told her, my daughter does not have bad gas!

Malcolm Landgraab (thinking to himself): This place is a fucking dump. Couldn't we have gone anywhere else?

Geoffrey Landgraab: Have a good day at school, Malcolm?

[Audreyanna sits with her father and his much younger fiancée. All are on their phones; little conversation is being made.]

Lloyd Brookestone: So…a little birdie told me that someone’s living in a full house.

Brylee O’Donnell: Yeah! You’re so odd, Anna. Fostering six teenagers? Is that even legal?

Audreyanna (thinking to herself): God-fucking-damnit

Audreyanna: It’s Audreyanna, thanks. Why am I not surprised that you two stalked me again? Was moving to Germany not a big enough hint?

Lloyd: I have my ways. And hey, I’m still your old man. You could have told me! I would have loved to advise you during the process.

Audreyanna: Like you’ve had experience with the foster system.

Lloyd: Maybe not, but I’ve had experience raising a teenager. Come on, Audreyanna, six kids? Talk about a trial by fire! (pauses) Besides, you’re not the only one expanding the Brookestone family…

Audreyanna (thinking to herself): You’ve got to be kidding me.

[Brylee and Audreyanna stand up so the former can display her slightly pregnant stomach.]

Brylee: Surprise! We wanted to tell you in person. Lloyd and I are going to be parents!

Audreyanna: What the fuck?!

Lloyd: Now, I know this is a bit unexpected…

[Brylee yawns loudly.]

Audreyanna: Unexpected isn’t the word, Dad. You mean to tell me that you got her pregnant? Has her frontal lobe even finished developing? Not to mention, you found out I’m going through something as big as fostering teens for the first time…and you decided to launch your fucking baby the first time we talked about it?

Brylee: Anna, don’t tear his head—

Audreyanna: How many times do I have to tell you that you can’t call me that?

Brylee: Okay, I know that we haven’t been the best of friends, but I thought you’d be happy for me. You know, as a woman.

Audreyanna: As a woman? You’re barely out of college! Shacking up with a 73-year-old man!

Lloyd (thinking to himself): I’ll just stay out of this one.

Brylee: Oh, and you’re so high and mighty, huh? Isn’t Evelyn older than you?

Audreyanna: …what? I mean, yeah, by ten months!

Brylee: There you go. I’m an adult perfectly capable of making my own decisions. I’m not trying to be your stepmom here.

Audreyanna: No, you’re just trying to give birth to a sibling that’s fifty years younger than me!

Brylee: Then ignore their existence! You’re pretty good at that. After all, isn’t what you’ve been doing to us?

Silence.

Lloyd: You’ve always been careful about hiding your life from me, Audreyanna. I don’t understand it, but fine. As long as you respect that we’re making our own life choices, too.

[The waiter arrives.]

Waiter: You guys ready to order?

Audreyanna: Please.

Geoffrey: Malcolm, it’s almost been an hour. The sun’s already set. Can you please just pick something to eat?

Malcolm: How does anyone eat this garbage food? I’ll just get a water.

[Some time later, the waiter reappears with the trio’s food.]

Waiter: Here you go. My, you guys are quiet all of a sudden.

[They dig in.]

Brylee: Gosh, this fake chicken is really delish! A fine testament to the wonders of tofu.

Audreyanna: Tofu, huh? I feel for that baby.

Brylee: If you must know, my doctor says it’s perfectly fine to—

Audreyanna: I don’t care that you’re vegan, Brylee. Just feed that kid greens or something. Anything but tofu.

The Vampires Interview: A Life Outside the Usual

BY JORDAN MAINZER

Consider Nightjar (Earshift Music) a sharing of the baton. While The Necks remain better than ever, another experimental Australian band has stepped up right beside them, both figuratively and in terms of a series of literal collaborations. The Vampires, who have been playing and releasing music for almost two decades, are an improvisational jazz quartet from Sydney whose songs dabble in reggae and dub rhythms and are generally inspired by music of the African diaspora. Though one wouldn’t mistake a Vampires jam for The Necks’ creeping minimalism, it’s clear listening to them side-by-side that they share the same open-minded creative spirit. From the time saxophonist and composer Jeremy Rose first witnessed The Necks’ marathon live performances, he became enraptured with the band. 

Finally, over the last half decade, the elder statesmen have taken The Vampires under their wing, in a relationship Rose described to me over Zoom a couple months ago as a mentorship. Necks bassist Lloyd Swanton produced The Vampires’ 2017 record The Vampires meet Lionel Loueke. Two years ago, he and Rose released a collaborative album as Vazesh, while Necks drummer Tony Buck contributed to a record by Vampires trumpetist and composer Nick Garbett and multi-instrumentalist Mike Majkowski. Now, with Nightjar, The Vampires’ 7th record, Necks keyboard legend Chris Abrahams has joined Rose, Garbett, bassist Noel Mason, and drummer Alex Masso on the band’s most textured record yet. On the appropriately titled opener “Game Changers”, as if to refer to the epoch-making nature of this fruitful collaboration, Abrahams instantly begins on keys alongside the steady rhythm section, before the two Vampires composers enter on horns; Rose’s main solo and Abrahams’ two-hand, classical style jaunt mesh with the gentleness of the band’s grooves. “Khan Shatyr”’s horn refrain actually quotes The Necks’ “The World at War” from their second album Next. Garbett’s “Ortigara” and its interlude combine the spirit of the two bands, a sort of reggae minimalism, a warped tropicalia with clacking percussion. And “Waves”, “High Plains”, and closer “Sun Gazers” are comparatively muted and mournful, a newfound emotional subtlety I haven’t gleaned from any previous Vampires songs.

Below, read my conversation with Rose, edited for length and clarity, about The Vampires’ process and inspirations, both live and recorded, and their relationship with The Necks.

Since I Left You: Did you grow up listening to The Necks?

Jeremy Rose: I encountered The Necks when I was at music school in my early 20′s. It wasn’t until I got to hear them live that I got to experience what their music was all about. I really believe their music has to be heard live to understand the full impact of what they’re trying to do. [laughs] And to experience the durational quality of their music. I clearly remember coming across one of their live shows. It was sold out. I had to somehow sneak in. I had to sit on the floor. I couldn’t see them--I didn’t have a good visual on them. But it had a profound impact on me. I’ve been following them ever since. Over the last few years, it’s been a great honor to be able to work with Chris. I have a separate project with Lloyd Swanton called Vazesh. It’s really been great. Lloyd Swanton also produced our fifth record, The Vampires meet Lionel Loueke. We’ve had a bit of an ongoing mentorship with the group. Our trumpeter, Nick [Garbett], has worked with [Necks drummer] Tony [Buck] in one of his own projects. They made a record in Berlin not too long ago.

SILY: It seems that The Vampires has continued on the influence of The Necks but also done some things uniquely. A track like “Khan Shatyr” has some reggae in it, like much of the band’s earlier material. How do you go about delving into other genres or styles while still retaining that hypnotic quality of repetition and grooves?

JR: The interesting thing about The Necks is that they’re defined more by their process rather than their stylistic boundaries. In fact, I know they talk about what they do as a kind of game. They try to bring other styles into what The Necks do and see if they can force it, if you will, into their way of playing, which is a slowly evolving improvised minimalism. “Khan Shatyr” opens with a quote from one of their tracks, “The World At War”, off their album Next. The Vampires’ music has drawn inspiration from the grooves of the African diaspora, and we’ve played in various reggae bands over the years, so that has a particular flavor. Though we’re not trying to sound like a reggae band, it has references to that music.

SILY: In your collaboration with Chris, did you find the process at all different depending on whether you or Nick composed the track?

JR: Rather than there being a difference between each of our compositions, I’ve found that our live performances are moving towards an expansive, longer durational style of play. Working with Chris has really led us into musical areas that are often different to what the composer’s original intention was. That’s the magic of improvised music, isn’t it? To discover something that wasn’t originally planned but is often just as interesting if not more so than the original composition.

SILY: Is “Khan Shatyr” named after the building of the same name?

JR: Yeah, it’s named after a Neofuturist tent in [Astana,] the capital of Kazakhstan. It’s designed by the renowned architect Norman Foster, who did “the gherkin” in London. I was really intrigued by the contrast of [the city] and this hypermodern interior complete with a cocktail bar.

SILY: What about the title track made you want to name the album after it?

JR: I don’t know if there was anything particularly deep and meaningful on that. I just kind of like the name “nightjar” and the connotation of a night bird. It’s kind of mysterious and has a life outside the usual day.

SILY: Have you been able to perform these tracks?

JR: We’ve been performing these tracks live with Chris for 2-3 years now. This project, like many others, has experienced a bit of delay in recording due to the pandemic. It was nice to give the project a bit of space and [time for] the ideas to develop and the concept to mature.

SILY: I imagine that they’ll take on new shapes as you play them.

JR: That’s the beauty of this music. The melodies and structures are loosely defined by our compositions, and we try to approach them in a way that they can be really opened up in live performance. Our live versions of these tunes are getting longer and longer. What can happen during that period is really left open to the groupthink on the day.

SILY: Much like The Necks, do The Vampires have a defined process for making music, where you try to apply that process to different styles, or do you let the styles in and see whether they mesh with the process?

JR: It’s not quite possible to be as wide, due to the nature of the music being fully improvised. It gives a set of other open parameters to being able to bring in any style, for that matter. Our music is half on the original composer to shape and define and the rest on the band to expand and workshop on those ideas. We try to be as open as possible during performance, and things can take different directions, particularly in the spaces between pieces, where we might have open sessions for people to take it in those directions.

SILY: Do you have a favorite song on here, or at least a favorite song to perform?

JR: I love playing “Khan Shatyr” because I love the way that track builds in momentum and expands on some of the ideas I’ve been talking about. The use of repetition and groove to create those immersive states that I so enjoy when I listen to The Necks.

SILY: Was there any song on Nightjar particularly challenging to nail down?

JR: No, I think for The Vampires, the main challenge is trying to get the grooves and the music to be settled before we record it. Often, we’ll try to jam, let the rhythm section play for a while, and really settle in to the groove before we hit record. That helps the music to feel more at ease and in the pocket.

SILY: Do you do the same thing when playing live, where the rhythm section starts out first?

JR: It depends what track we’re playing. Some start with the sax and trumpet, which is a feature of the group, too, open sections for the two frontline to explore cadenzas and the use of effects and space. It’s important to have a bit of a rest for the rhythm section every now and then. [laughs]

SILY: What’s the story behind the cover art of the record?

JR: That is a painting by an old friend of mine, Mia Taninaka, whose artwork explores various symbiology. I really thought that artwork stood out and was particularly striking, so I thought it was a good match for our music. I think it’s one of her older images now. We were stoked we could use it.

SILY: Do you ever have a visual element to your live sets?

JR: We haven’t worked with A/V or a live artist before, but that’s a really great idea. [laughs] Some of my largest scale projects have worked with video artists in the past. It can be really fun and add another dimension to the music.

There are various issues to consider, [though]. [Are you going] to be inspired as you’re playing, to play off the A/V material, or are you just adding another dimension for the audience to experience the music? It can also be a challenge to navigate the balance between the visuals taking away focus from the music. You don’t want people to be watching a movie with a soundtrack. It needs to be more than that.

SILY: What else is next for The Vampires?

JR: We’re touring Australia later this year. We’ll consider what’s next after that. We never try to push anything with this group. We try to let it come naturally and see where the wind takes us.

SILY: Are you always sitting down and composing, or do you have to devote a set time period to do so?

JR: These days, I’m really busy in my life, so if I have a particular project I’m working on, I’ll make sure to set aside time. I try to allow space for creative play and to really improvise on my instrument, whether that’s the saxophone or piano. I predominantly compose on the piano. I try to allow my space without any predetermined objectives and see where that can take me. Often, that’s where you can come up with some of your most original ideas.

SILY: It seems like a microcosm of a band’s improvisational process.

JR: For sure.

SILY: Is there anything you’ve been listening to, watching, or reading lately that you’ve enjoyed?

JR: I’m reading Brad Mehldau’s book called [Formation: Building a Personal Canon, Part 1 his first book.] It led to some great insight into the formation of his musical conception. It’s been an interesting exploration of him as an artist. Musically, I’m pretty occupied with getting through all my releases from my record label, Earshift Music, and I have a bunch of other projects I’m finishing off mixing and mastering. After getting through all that, sometimes, it’s good to have a bit of downtime. I’ve been loving and returning to shakuhachi music, the music of Riley Lee, who is my shakuhachi teacher. I’ve been intimately studying it for a few years now. It’s great for me to listen to his music; his control of breath and phrasing is quite staggering.

Let Me Love You | 4 - B. Barnes

Character: college!Bucky x Female!Reader

Summary: On a mysterious, rainy night, Bucky witnesses a distressing encounter involving his crush.

Chapter 1 , Chapter 2 , Chapter 3 , Chapter 4 , Chapter 5 , Chapter 6 , Chapter 7 , Chapter 8.

Main Masterlist || support: Ko-fi

Thank you to everyone who has read this chapter. Please let me know what your thoughts are. I'd love to hear your feedback. Thank you once again.

The next day, you wake up feeling refreshed after a restful sleep. With no rush to get up early, you decide to treat yourself to a leisurely morning and join your female friend for coffee instead of preparing breakfast for Lloyd.

You're grateful for the separation between the business and law faculties, as it means you won't have to encounter Lloyd in the morning.

Taking advantage of the extra time, you also request a day off from your part-time job. It's been a while since you've had some 'Me Time', and you feel you deserve it. Despite the lingering ache in your heart, you know that time will eventually heal it.

Walking back to your apartment, you spot someone familiar - Bucky. His presence unexpectedly brings a glimmer of light into your otherwise gloomy day.

With a smile, you approach him."Hi Bucky," you greet him warmly. Bucky seems surprised by your sudden appearance but returns the greeting, "Hi... hiii Y/N."

Then you notice that he's holding a leash, and upon closer inspection, you realize it's attached to a cat. The cat seems oddly familiar, and a memory sparks in your mind.

"Isn't this the cat that we saved together?" you ask, a mixture of surprise and delight in your voice.

Bucky nods, his expression softening. "Yes. The shelter called me and asked if I wanted to adopt her or if they should place her in foster care."

The white cat edges closer to you and rubs her head against your leg, seeking affection.

Your heart flutters with warmth at the cat's gesture, and you can't resist bending down to stroke her head gently. "Aww, she's so cute. What's her name?"

Bucky hesitates for a moment before replying, "Alpine. You could visit her if you want." His words come out a bit awkwardly, and you detect a subtle hint of nervousness in his voice. It's as if he's trying to mask something beneath his casual tone.

You sense a slight shift in the air, a moment pregnant with unspoken meaning. Bucky seems to bite his tongue, a nervous tic that betrays his uncertainty. Is he inviting you to his place? You can't be sure, but his invitation lingers in the air, hanging between you.

Unsure of how to interpret Bucky's demeanor, you simply respond with a warm smile. "Sure, I'd love to. I used to have a cat."

Bucky's smile brightens at your acceptance, a wave of relief washing over his features. From that moment on, the two of you stroll together, lost in easy conversation, until the sun dips below the horizon. Neither of you notices the watchful eyes observing your every move from a distance.

You returned to your apartment after picking up dinner, following Bucky's recommendation of the Chinese food he'd previously given you. The flavors were delightful, and tonight, you planned to indulge in your favorite dramas while savoring the meal.

As you entered the apartment lobby, your heart sank at seeing someone you'd been avoiding - Lloyd.

He had been waiting for you since morning, expecting the usual routine of you bringing him breakfast. However, he woke up to find himself disappointed.

He check his phone for your messages.

Nothing.

He tried to call you.

Blocked. You block him.

He had even gone to the university, hoping to catch a glimpse of you, only to be further disheartened by your absence. But then, as luck would have it, he spotted you earlier, walking with Bucky. The sight of you laughing and chatting with another man ignited a fire of jealousy within him.

He decided to confront you and waited at your apartment building, though his attempts to gain access were futile due to the strict policy allowing only females to enter. So, he stood there for over an hour, consumed by his thoughts and emotions, waiting for you to return.

Lloyd confronted you, his tone tinged with accusation. "You choose that loser over me?"

You sighed inwardly, feeling a mix of relief and gratitude for the clarity that had come after your breakup with Lloyd. "The moment I found out you kissed her, it was enough for me to leave you. You have broken my trust."

Lloyd appeared taken aback, his surprise evident as he struggled to respond. It seemed he hadn't anticipated the conversation to take this turn.

Continuing, you asserted, "You think I would forgive you? I might, but that doesn't mean I want to get back together. Besides, we're still young."

Inserting a word that Lloyd's father had mentioned last summer, you added, "Perhaps you're happier with someone else."

Lloyd's demeanor shifted, his confidence faltering under the weight of your words. It was clear that convincing you to reconsider would not be as easy as he had hoped.

Fooling around with Nicky was fun for a moment, but he never had a thought to make it serious. Because of you, who always have been there for him.

You stated, "I don't want to be the last person to know that someone cheated on me." Memories flooded back when your mother screamed and threw every piece of furniture to the ground upon discovering your father's infidelity with his coworkers.

Your father apologized to you and left, leaving your mother with deep scars in her heart. Your parents are childhood sweethearts; they have spent almost half of their lives together. That's why history seemed to repeat itself when your mother found out about you and Lloyd.

She urged you to make the relationship work, especially considering Lloyd's status as a star athlete at school with a promising future in football. As the only child, you felt compelled to listen to her. However, you have since decided to chart your own path.

Living alone, working part-time, and earning your own money have shown you that you can thrive independently, without depending on Lloyd. The breakup has made you realize that you may have spoiled Lloyd too much, without receiving the same level of care in return.

You sometimes yearn to be spoiled and surprised, but Lloyd never seemed to reciprocate. His parents' disapproval of you further strained the relationship, especially after they learned of their son's offer to join the NFL. Additionally, Lloyd never respected your mother, despite her high hopes for him.

Now, every step you take seems to reveal more red flags, prompting you to choose a different path to avoid history from repeating itself.

Lloyd feels dejected, unable to believe that you would leave him. His ungratefulness for your kindness and patience becomes apparent, realizing that finding someone like you again will be difficult.

Lloyd still couldn't accept it. "Good. That means I avoided a crazy mother-in-law. Her insanity made our town famous."

You retorted sharply, "Don't mention my mother. This is about us!"

Lloyd fell silent, satisfied with the reaction he provoked.

"Do you want everyone to know that perfect Y/N has a psycho mother?" Lloyd continued, using the sensitive topic to threaten you.

You gasped, never expecting Lloyd to stoop so low.

"Why are you doing this?" you demanded, feeling a mixture of hurt and anger.

Lloyd explained, "Tomorrow there's a gala dinner that's inviting many people who sponsor the university and, most importantly, the football team. You are my plus one."

You scoffed at his words. "So you want me to maintain our image as high school sweethearts, right? What would the sponsors think if they found out one of their athletes is a cheater? Fine, I'll go. I don't want you to blame me if your future goes up in flames."

With a dismissive "Good," Lloyd turned and left you standing there, tears welling up in your eyes.

As you watched his retreating figure, you couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness. His back, which had once been a source of comfort during difficult times, now served as a painful reminder of how much he had changed.

Thanks a bunch for being fabulous followers!

[steaming-system-takes]

Welcome to Steaming System Takes!

This blog was inspired by @/pipinghot-systemtakes. However, we are not associated with that blog in any way. We made this blog to combat the lack of proper structure pipinghot-systemtakes has in terms of sorting through harmful submissions, and offer this community a place to share their hot takes without having to worry about coming across harmful messages and/or misinformation.

What do we consider to be harmful?

To us, harmful submissions include submissions that promote non-traumagenic systems, have paranoia inducing messages and wording, and anything that contains any form of misinformation. This definition of the word "harmful" is rather broad, and we will be paying close attention to what each submission says to ensure nothing slips through the cracks. If need be, we have people outside of our system we can reach out to for second opinions.

Will we be accepting other mods in the future?

Yes, we will! If this blog gets to a point where we're receiving more asks than we can handle, we will open up mod applications to make sure we don't slip up and let something through that should not be posted.

Will we be posting submissions that we don't agree with?

For the most part, yes. The only exception to this is, once again, anything that's genuinely harmful or contains misinformation. We will not be sharing any of our personal opinions of any syscourse topic on this blog, only pin-boarding other people's opinions anonymously. This blog is meant for others to have a safe space to share their thoughts, not for us to share our own. In addition to that, we believe that most syscourse topics should have all sides shared to ensure that anyone looking into the issue can make a properly informed opinion on it. Above all else, that is our goal.

Something to note: If a submission is worded in a way that we can't understand, we won't post it just to be safe. If you notice that your hot take isn't being posted after a little while, feel free to submit it again with different wording!

Who can interact with our blog?

Despite us not sharing our opinions on this blog, we do have a DNI list. This includes endogenics/willowgenics/tulpas and their supporters, transID and radqueers, and anyone who claims RAMCOA isn't real.

We accept anyone with any disorder here. This blog is NPD, BPD, schizophrenic, psychosis, and mood disorder friendly. Anyone who villainizes these disorders is NOT welcome here.

Meet our current mods!

Since this blog is currently only being run by one system, our mod team consists of a few of our current/frequent fronters.

Mod Z - Also known as: Zack

Zack Foster introject, He/It pronouns, tag signoff: "mod z"

Zack will likely be the most active mod.
