#make up city song

Could I be understood as a musical solipsist in my discussions about the musicians that play jazz fusion as I only focus on the idiom on Western scenes? Yes, one could claim this does show my lack of perspective, since the genre appears all over the world. Japan, for instance, has many musicians in the vein. One could claim jazz fusion there served as a key ingredient for city pop, though that is an interesting story many might disagree with, but let us leave this talk for another post. To go back to our point – Casiopea shines as a great example of jazz fusion from Japan, since the group has a different viewpoint on the brand thank their Western counterparts. They serve their own sonic situations in the tone we look into.

May your hardened heart be woken By the soft and distant song Of all you left here unspoken All the shards we keep stepping on - Take this body home Take this body home Call the wind, and let her know Take this life outgrown Take this broken soul Call the stars, call them all And take it high, take it far, take it home
#svsss#luo binghe#shen qingqiu#bingqiu#sqq#lbh#scum villain#heard the song Take This Body Home by Rose Betts and it nearly took me out at the knees#it really really suits sqq's self-detonation in hua yue city right? i'm not the only one feeling this?#considered adding some literal shards for them to be stepping on - since sqq's sword explodes - but i couldn't quite make it work#anyway this has been playing like a music video in my head for the past couple days highly recommend listening to the song#if you haven't heard it before#can't get over the absolute dissonance between how sqq views this scene and how everyone else must feel about it#like to him he's just completing his plan - hopefully keeping lbh from destroying a city with energy imbalance and escaping The Plot#nbd! he and sqh have planned it all out it's FINE :) off he goes!#meanwhile everyone who loves him - including lbh who worked years to get back to him and is trying to work through a lot of grief#and resentment and doubt and longing and... - watches him DIE in FRONT OF THEM#just collapse while coughing up blood sword disintegrating energy completely consumed#like holy hell sqq could you traumatize the people around you any more???#no wonder lbh went a little bit crazy after that like my man was already not in a great place but what the fuck#lbh watches his shizun presumably sacrifice himself for him ONCE AGAIN like after he's finally Gotten Strong his shizun is STILL#coming to harm in an effort to make up for his shortcomings#my art#most of the time out here drawing what amounts to muppets and then sometimes i get the urge for this and just need to cover everyone in blo

#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#xue yang#xiao xingchen#song lan#a-qing#blood#special appearance to the fox hairpin. Cute bonus episode and scene#alas I am already struggling a bit with maintaining good flow on this arc#I’ve got a better drawn mdzs art of A-qing coming soon to make up it though!#okay time to talk about This Scene…cause wow the angst is ripe and juicy#what really gets me is the fact Song Lan stays quiet while XXC stabs him….#And that Xue Yang never intended to tell XXC about the fake corpses#NOR did A-Qing want to tell him the truth!!#the theme of ‘ignorance is bliss’ is so strong here…xxc is blind to the evils of the world#and everyone seems to recognize how rare that is. How far they go to preserve it#Yi-city asks a lot of hard questions. As someone who values Honesty above nearly all else-#-the question posed here about whether honesty is truly the correct course of action really gets to me#Lying is a form of kindness in here. And in a story about rumours and manipulations of truth-#its a good parallel to what we see in the main story!#we see the harm caused by trying to lie to be kind. The harm in realizing youve been lied to#there are a lot of plot points around kind lies in mdzs and it facinates me!

I’m excited to subvert the “good drow players are all just Drizzt superfans” thing by making a good drow that is herself a Drizzt superfan.
#drizzt do'urden#baldur's gate 3#bg3#becoming a bard because you used to sit in your bedroom with your lute making up songs about your hero's adventures#while your dad sat in the living room with his head in his hands#thanking eilistraee that at least your brother was more sensible#then running away from home at the tender age of 80#to go make a name for yourself in the big city#too naive to really get that just because drizzt is popular doesn't mean everyone will open their arms to you#i've read like 12 drizzt books in the last two months waiting for this gd game#you bet I'm using that

#ts4 gameplay#ts4 challenge#ts4 legacy challenge#ts4 screenshots#no new look is going to make Jay stop being Jay 😤#On the other hand his relationship with Ericka is... complicated to say the least#She's a singer famous and used to getting everything she wants#She's kind of like the star of the label and they have no problem granting her every wish as long as she keeps bringing in money#But Jay grew up swimming in money so wealth doesn't impress him. And her attitude doesn't either lol#Ericka doesn't write her own songs though so Jay do it but his contract doesn't allow him to leave the city while he's working#pollock legacy#gen4#jay pollock#ericka browne

MXTX MC conflicts go:
Yi City: my boyfriend thinks I am a prolific murderer and specifically murdered a bunch of people his bff loves to get back at him. also that I tricked him into doing murders with me, for enrichment. I did all those things but did not anticipate having a feeling about his feelings.
Scum Villain: my boyfriend thinks I want to kill him but I don't.
MDZS: my boyfriend thinks I hate him but I don't.
TGCF: my boyfriend doesn't know I exist but I'm worried that once he finds out he's going to find my eyepatch ugly and my cavern of effigies offputting.
#it may be unfair to pull yi city#out of its published context#arguably it should be sitting at the doomed subplot table with Beefleaf and Qijiu#but I think it's more fun to treat it like juvenalia and this is my shitpost#and anyway it basically depends whether you decide Song Lan or Xue Yang is love interest coded#Xue Yang is absolutely living the full MXTX love interest experience except the author somehow didn't notice it's a romcom?#where is his third act where the mc realizes that all that lies between them is a big pile of misunderstandings and totally irrelevant#murders. he can make a zombie a-qing if he feels like it#sometimes I yearn to express my feelings about this body of work in graph form#love interest's ability to care about things that are not mc: down up down#love interest's ability to tolerate estranged bff#up up up#mxtx love interests wear grey and pink factoid is false#Lan Wangji who lives on a mountain and wears nothing but white#is an outlier and should not be counted

Not a question, but I love your blog so much. Makes me so happy :) I'm very excited to see the Yi City trio in your style.
We're getting close to the Yi-City arc! In the meantime, have some behind-the-scenes sketches of me trying to figure out their designs!
#poorly drawn MDZS#MDZS#Xue Yang#A-Qing#xiao xingchen#song lan#Ask#I really love the yi-city arc so I wanted to make sure I was happy with designs!#Im not the best at subtle complexity...so I go for a combo of readability and personality#It ends up turning into 'throwing a ton of stuff at a metaphorical wall and seeing what sticks'#These aren't the only sketches of these guys either. A-Qing my beloved and beloathed I could not figure her out#This is definitely a bit of a step to the left in terms of my usual content but I hope this sneak peak tides you over!#(XXC offering candy and A-Qing's rage are *not* related btw. They are separate goofs)#Meta-meta commentary: Upload schedule is a bit off today due to script overhauls. I will post today's comic...sometime today.#EDIT: Im not gonna upload again today. Im going to sleep u_u

Was tagged by @oceancamp to post my current five favorite songs! (They should invent a stages-of-grief-esque model that encompasses and accurately describes both types of anguish I had to go through making this list - the one of limiting myself to only five songs, and the one of trying to put as little videogame music on here as possible so that I don't end up looking like an absolute goddamn geek, which... I am... Oh well!)
Thank you so much for tagging me - here are the songs!
Heaven Pierce Her - War Without Reason
Tatsuro Yamashita - Love Space
This specific arrangement of Death And Republic + Meet Again
Winger - Junkyard Dog (Tears On Stone)
The Protomen - Light Up The Night
Is it courtesy to tag other people after you've been tagged in a post like this? If that's the case, I'll tag @spiralled-fury, @solradguy, @swamppossum, @five-by-five, @northstarring, @ineedmoredragons and @tbonechessor!
#logs#ya don't have to participate if you don't want to‚ from what i've gathered - it's all just for fun anyway :]#The link to Yamashita's song is actually a link to a website that hosts city pop songs‚ since those keep getting taken down on YouTube due#to the strictness of Japan's copyright laws with regards to music. Uploads of Yamashita's songs in particular get taken down quite#frequently... The rest are either Bandcamp or YouTube (in case of Junkyard Dog) links#Very out-of-character of me not to put a Кино song on here‚ haha#I had a hard time deciding whether to put HOLD BACK THE NIGHT or Light Up The Night here‚ but ultimately decided on Light Up The Night#because... hoo boy#okay storytime. i've known of the protomen since somewhere around 2021. got The Good Doctor in my recommended feed‚ clicked on it because#i thought the album cover was cool + the title was appealing‚ but i never really listened to anything theirs beyond that song after that.#fast forward to 2022. be me‚ watching the greatest videoessay on planet earth (Steak Bentley's Metal Gear Solid 4 Was A Mistake).#the fucking MONTAGE comes on‚ and I fall in love with my second Protomen song. second fast forward to 2023 going into 2024‚ finally got#around to playing the Violence update. i learn of the name of level 7-2. the widest‚ most mischievous grin appears on my face.#i enter the level‚ proclaim ''ULTRAKlLL IS NOW A STEAK BENTLEY REFERENCE'' and blast the song as i get my ass beat by every single thing in#that level.#and let me tell you. getting mollywhopped ten thousand times by the FUCKING GUTTERTANK TRIO AT THE END OF THE LEVEL WAS. not a pleasant#experience. but the song made it better. :) (i played the level before the balance patch came out and uh let's just say i had more deaths on#that level than on 2gabe and 1gabe. SEVENTY-FOUR. FUCKING. RESTARTS. JESUS /CHRIST/.#goodness how i yearn to make a 3d animation of v1 going through 7-4 with that song in the background as a tribute to the man himself but#alas i am a student who has everything in the world but time#thanks for the tag again!! ^^

just seal it with a kiss
a/n : the chapters are WRITTEN for a fucking change (sweats before looking at some other fics) but anyway!!! new longest kotlc fic. this was such a hard exercise between swinging between gravitas and stupidity but i think that is simply the duality of man!! also written for @keeper-big-bang-2024 i had so much fun (suffering) (joyful suffering) and shoutout to my AMAZING partners working with them was so fun i love you all sm @that-glasses-dog (specs i ADORE you but you know this already) who's work is here and @lmeiday (lucy it was the first time working tgt but i desperately hope this isn't the last you're so sweet ily <3) who's work is here <3 ok enough yap now for the first chapter~
Before he can spiral too hard, he glances up, squinting into the jagged rock pile a few metres away- And for the second time in two minutes, he has his breath taken away - this time by the most breathtaking man he's ever seen, muttering something from his horizontal position, pale skin flushed pink from the light chill, eyelids fluttering gently in the breeze. Dimly, he realises something else- -that the man is completely fucking naked.
Or; Burned out artist Keefe Sencen runs away to a different beach, gets a husband, treats wounds, discovers mythical creatures are real and falls back in love with life. Not necessarily in that order.
As with all things that involve Keefe, it starts off pretty normally. Standing in the middle of an airport in god knows nowhere with a half empty suitcase, hair tousled by the breeze, getting yelled at by Sophie through his phone’s tinny speakers…
-What the fuck do you mean you just??? Upped?? And ran away?? With your paint brushes??? DO YOU EVEN KNOW HOW TO COOK ANYTHING???-
-Or maybe not exactly normal. Such is the life of an underpaid artist, he supposes.
It takes him a few more minutes, between precariously clamping down on his phone as he pulls out a large map, only to drop it back in after realising it’s been covered by nasty yellow paint that he’ll have to check on later, and then hobbling his way forward after he nearly runs a suitcase wheel over his toe.
It’s only then he realises he’s made a grave mistake, given the phone has gone deathly quiet in anticipation of a response.
Keefe holds his breath. Waits for the whirring of the AC to somehow get stronger. Counts to three-
-and successfully anticipate the almost inhumane shriek and litany of curses that next come from his phone.
“Did you not even bother to fucking pay attention, you fucking-”
Before he can attract too many weird stares (or get deported before he even sets foot outside the airport), he hurriedly hits mute and grabs the handle of his suitcase, dragging it to the nearest pleater seat which has probably seen better days, from the way exposed foam lines the edges of the seats.
A metaphor for humanity. Or a metaphor for something disused?, he muses, before sighing and answering the phone.
“I’ll be fine, yes I know how to cook, I’m staying in one of Dad’s old flats that he’s probably forgotten about judging from the fact that it’s keys and deeds were left in a box in the attic, and even if I’ve forgotten something there’s a convenience store close enough where I can buy anything.”
A beat of silence, before Sophie sighs, tired. Keefe rubs his eyes absent-mindedly, before drawing his hands through the sloppily bunched up hair. I’m tired too, he thinks, the stray thought dissolving as soon as it comes. It’s not a competition, he reminds himself. But even his argument sounds half-hearted.
“It’s just.. It’s so sudden. Couldn’t you, schedule it? Maybe, plan something and not just… up your art studio one month before your second ever exhibition and leave?”
"I didn't want to plan," Keefe admits blandly. He shrugs, despite knowing Sophie cannot see him. His gaze shifts beyond towards the window, where a suitcase has dropped from one of the small luggage cars. "I need a break."
"I understand," Sophie offers gently. "And I want you to take a break, I just - you didn't give me- hell, you didn’t give Bi, or Fitz any notice?"
Keefe privately thinks someone should have spotted the warning signs, but he does not say so. Mostly because he didn't see them till his fingers ached when he picked up a brush, till the only thing he felt when looking at a canvas was horror-
read the rest on ao3 here!

remember the musician/band mash up tour thingy I made a post about a while ago? well I though of a band name for Keefe, Dex, and fitz
Triple AAA
it makes almost no sense but its funny and they (Keefe Dex and Fitz) would like it because its funny but are they legally allowed to name themselves that if the question
#hmmm is it legal#I mean its just a fic but still is it legal#kotlc#keeper of the lost cities#kotlc fanfics#btw I think I have a title!!#also also am I allowed to use Taylor songs as the songs that the characters have made#(I'm using IRL songs since there's no way I can make up songs on my own)
