From the OA archives: Four Seasons

I forget the exact prompt for this one, it was like a food day of some kind, hence why the theme being seasons and all the one-shots revolving around food. It was in Autumn so it starts then, which fits now we are still in Autumn.

SFW, fandoms involved: MLQC, My Sweet Bodyguard (Switch port w h e n), HLITF, and IkeRev. All random other characters that I think would suit the guys (because I have an OTP for the OG MC for each game and it’s not these guys).

In spite of two LIs being among my favourite it’s not yume. Me and Lancelot? Not in a million years…also they all love cooking and I don’t 😅

Some days I just can’t buy that a LI would like the MC if not because he is in that specific title and their romance feels forced so if I’m bored I think up an alternative 🤷🏼‍♀️

Vivaldi’s “Four Season” was playing as Victor’s car gently slid through the shades of red of the countryside outside Loveland City. He glanced at the woman next to him, gazing intently outside the window: “Something on your mind?”

“It feels like a Hallmark film, you know...we’ve been driving long enough it’s the right movement as soundtrack, and my insanely handsome boyfriend is driving me to a pumpkin picking farm so we can cook something special for all of our friends tonight”. He faltered a little at the word boyfriend: it was not like him to be so undecisive. He has had his mother’s ring all those years, his only decision was whom to give it to, and when. The latter never seemed quite right. He smiled: “Only you could come up with something like that and look so serious”

“Daydreaming is a very serious endeavour, thank you very much”

I guess for a novelist it must be, he thought to himself. He was too practical to put as much serious thought into aesthetic details, like the little pumpkins to decorate the restaurant she was picking as he chose the one to cook, and the wine to go with it from the winery.

Seeing them together in the kitchen, no one could have guessed how different they are: they fit together seamlessly. No order needed to pass from one to the other, and even Souvenir’s demanding owner didn’t have complaints about her skills in the kitchen. She was busy with the entrées while he made his world-famous pudding and the main course in a comfortable silence. Before long, they could hear the voices in the restaurant.

“Everyone’s here” she said, almost startled by it, as if she had just woken up from a dream.

“Don’t go yet” Victor stopped her “there’s something I’ve been meaning to ask you...”

The food was being served when they took the last two empty seats at the table. Victor remained standing, one hand on his beloved’s shoulder and the other picking up his glass. She put her hand on his as he spoke: “Thank you for coming to our seasonal soirée tonight. I’d like to propose a toast to the woman who has brought us all together in the first place, my future wife”.

She looked around the room as they all raised their glasses: Kiro next to her, beaming like a proud little brother; Gavin, opposite her at another table, a gentle expression in his eyes; Lucien, further away, looking pensive and, finally, back to the man she loved the most, looking down at her with the sweetest smile he had ever smiled, as the people around them tucked into their exquisite meals.

Winter

“Wooohaaa you are good with a gun”

“Why, Captain Ichiyanagi, you think only those trained by the Japanese police can be good shots?”

“No, but I’d ever expected my bookish wife to be the one hunting our dinner. Now, let’s get the birds back and go home”

She leaned on the door, admiring how good Subaru looked in casual clothes and a kawaii apron, skillfully cleaning the birds.

“Is there going to be enough food if the cyborg and his lot are coming?” the young man who had just spoken put his arm around her shoulders and greeted her with a squeeze.

“Get your hands off my wife” growled Subaru, and she defiantly slid her arm around Sora in a side hug. Subaru sighed, knowing he could never win against his wife.

“Of course it will be, you know Gordon Ramsey here is the king of the kitchen” she replied to the original question, before entering the room to take her rightful place as queen.

As the afternoon grew colder and darker, the voices in the living room grew louder. Everyone was coming back from what had occupied their day. Finally, as dinner was ready to be brought to the table, the doorbell rung, announcing the Public Safety team. “Has Rosemary made all this?” asked Goto eyeing the dining room table as he removed his scarf.

“With Mrs Rosemary. And I set the table” replied Kenta, before Subaru had a chance to make a nasty comeback.

“Aren’t I lucky with such an amazing husband?” Subaru calmed down as he felt the sweet sensation of his wife’s lips on his cheek, and the whole mood warmed up as they jovially started to feast on roast pheasant and fine wine.

Spring

A young couple was walking hand in hand in a field of lavender, as the young woman focused on finding the perfect stems to fill the basket he was carrying.

“Are you sure you’re OK exerting yourself this much? And to make a cake for Ishigami no less!”

“Ayumu, I’m pregnant, not dying. Will it ever register into that mushroom head of yours? And I’m not making a cake for Ishigami, I’m making cake for our guests and he is one of them” her exasperated tone was not reflected in the loving gaze she turned to him as she spoke, before focusing on the field of purple all around them.

He hugged her from behind as she took the ingredients out of the fridge, the cake cooling down on the windowsill: “What are we making?” he saw black tiger prawns from over her shoulder and felt a pang of remorse at his earlier jealousy. He squeezed her, nuzzling her hair, and she caressed his head with her free hand as if she knew he was trying to apologise and what for, and wanted to let him know it was ok.

Soon their quiet domesticity was interrupted by the faint bickering in the corridor, louder as the two men approached the apartment. “I wonder if peace treaties in war times were more civilised than those two. And I can’t even have a wee dram to get me ready to face them...” said she with a wry smile as her husband went to answer the door. Within a few minutes of each other, everyone had arrived and dinner was served, silencing the arguments (if only for a little while).

Summer

Seeing King Lancelot in casual attire was not a common sight at the Red Army Barracks even with Cradle at peace, but that day was special. He was going to make good on a promise he had made to his little boy: one day, when the season came, they would go picking strawberries so him and Mama could make a mille-feuille for Queen Jonah, Byron’s “bestest friend” in the whole army. He entered the dining room: his wife was leisurely sipping her coffee looking beautiful in her white muslin dress, surrounded by most of the officers. “Where’s Byron?” he asked, surprised that he wasn’t glued to his right-hand man for a change.

“With Edgar feeding the Creeks” she replied “he’s been up since the crack of dawn because he was too excited about today”. He couldn’t help but smile fondly at that thought.

They took an open carriage and spent the morning picking the best strawberries in the field, but the fun wasn’t over yet. As soon as they arrived back at the Headquarters they headed for the kitchen. Lancelot decided to stay with his family: the Army could function with the Queen in charge just fine, while Byron wouldn’t stay an adorable 4yo forever. The Army chefs had prepared the puff pastry already while they were away so that he didn’t have to wait. Lancelot was put on cutting duty while Byron helped to make the crème pâtissière. Soon the little boy had run up on the stool next to his father holding a spoonful of cream with great pride: “Papa, I made this, look”. Lancelot ate it: “It’s really good, well done” he said, ruffling his hair, before the boy rushed back to his mother who was getting ready to fill the cooled pastry sheets. Lancelot followed him with the perfectly cut strawberries, and they all helped making the beautiful dessert for a friend that was special to all of them in different ways.

At tea time, the officers started to trickle into the dining room as they finished their duties. Jonah walked in and, not to spoil the little boy’s surprise, stopped in his tracks feigning stupor. Byron jumped off his father’s lap and ran to him, dragging him by the hand towards the table: “Look what I made for you!” “It’s beautiful, thank you” and they sat next to each other at table, surrounded by their Red Army family, all enjoying the Kingleys’ lovingly-made mille-feuille.

And yes, the boy is named after Byron in MidCin 🥺 my bby girl

Love and Fleeting Time (3rd Anniversary)- Song Analysis

A couple of weeks ago, I did a music analysis and translation of the entire concert for the KR server here where there will be a couple of songs that I will be referring to. This is the musical analysis for the track showcased during the 3rd Anniversary PV played at the end of the concert. Contains minor spoilers- mentions of Season 2!

@cheri-cheri for youuu 🥺💙

If anyone had studied film, the arts, or literally is a fic writer, you would know that the sentence you write or shot you take is something of high value and intent that would contribute to the building of a particular work.

Music is the same. Everything is intentional and necessary. Everything you hear commits to a particular purpose/theme and the message you want to convey. The MLQC music tracks in particular have no lyrics, which accentuates the fact that the emotions, the connections and the information you gather comes strictly from the various instruments and sounds that you hear.

This, therefore makes music analysing much fun but a lot more complicated.

For example, without lyrics we have to be extra vigilant. A certain note or instrument could present itself and we might have to correlate that to something in the gameplay. Or, if a certain instrument represented a certain personality, we would have to expand on that, too.

Guide

The dot-points are the musical terms/instruments named that you can hear. - Dashes underneath will be the storyline connection and interpretation to the music.

No dashes or dot points mean that the sentence is the analysis and/or retelling of the PV.

Analysis

@cheri-cheri did her own interpretation which I also would be emphasising similar points that I agree with in my own analysis down below.

Piano enters as a solo, with melody in right hand and arpeggiated left-hand accompaniment. (0:00-0:09) - We are introduced to the piano, which represents MC. - In music and storylines, she is always associated by this instrument. An example would be that she duets with Gavin on the piano in the CN Mark Date. - Her presence can also be felt in the pure piano of the Loveland opening.

As the PV plays, we see the different memories that MC and the boys have made.

We also see MC gently holding a landing snowflake. Snowflakes represent rebirth and purity. As it melts, it cleanses by transforming into water, suitable for transformation and new beginnings. We are also reminded of the Winter World events, from Chapters 19+.

Feathers in the background also represent trust, faith, ascension, and a sign of the 'highest honour'. They also hold a strong correlation to MC all throughout Season 1.

Acoustic guitar enters with similar arpeggiated chords to accompany melody. (0:09-0:16) - This guitar we hear is Gavin. - This is because he is always seen playing the guitar. He duets with MC on it while she plays the piano in the CN Mark Date. - The melody played is similar to his Season 1 theme song, Blue Temperature. - His track Dim Starlight Night is of pure guitar too.

Electronic harp doubles the piano melody and adds an extra texture, top-heavy music. (0:16-0:32) - This represents Kiro. - It gives a more uplifting feel to the present melody with its higher notes. - This suits Kiro as he's known to be the most chipper out of the 5 guys! - The melody is again subtly similar to his Season 1 theme song Sweet Accomplice.

Cello enters with an expressive melodic line. (0:33-0:40) - Victor. Yes. - His classic cello is always heard in his theme songs in Season 1's Between Time, Season 2, and Gradual Brewing of the Heart’s Melody. - This is as well similar to his Season 1 theme song.

Slowly all instruments are joining in with the flow of the piano melody. - In the main plot as MC meets the boys, they all become very important people to her and vice versa. They would do anything to safeguard MC from danger, and she too, dedicates herself to protect humanity and those she loves.

All instruments through the use of vibrato enhances the emotions, merging and carrying each other to lead to the climax. (0:41-0:49)

The PV continues to show us how the boys were like when they were younger without MC by their side. It then transitions to them being with her, allowing themselves to show their more affectionate and tender sides.

All these memories so far are from Season 1.

Electronic drum kit and violin section enters with melody and harmony lines for the chorus. (0:49-1:22)

Dynamics (volume) increase.

You can also hear subtly in the back the three instruments above while the violin- the more dominant instrument, carries the melody. - The new addition of the instruments representing the guys in the main melody are the drums. - This represents Lucien. - It is also similar-sounding to his Night Fireworks Season 1 theme song, but quicker, almost like heartbeats. - It's also heard in A Curtain of Deep Love and his Season 2 track.

As the chorus ends, instruments suddenly drop out to a dramatic pause, slowly returning to its previous melody of the few bars of cello, piano and the drum kit. (1:22-1:30) - Victor's majestic cello dominates this piece.

This part is played in C major/A minor (a very ‘classic’ key), with a combination of minor and major chords. This helps maintain the interest of the listener.

Gavin's guitar returns, adding to the melody. (1:31-1:39)

Violins then join in. (1:39-1:54)

The music starts to pick up again with all the instruments for the second chorus to come in. (1:54-2:11)

As this occurs, we can also hear the subtle nudges of electric guitar accompanying the melody. - This represents Shaw. - He is always seen playing the bass similar to the electric guitar, playing for his band Isolated at the Livehouse in various dates.

Slowly, we progress to the ending of Season 1, and the boys state their wishes and promises of what will occur for "next time".

The words/Chinese characters throughout the PV are from MC's perspective- her thoughts during her transition into Season 2.

MC finally enters Black Cabin.

The electric guitar is then heard dominantly with the violins in the last minute of the piece, changing the tone colour overall. (2:11-2:30) - This suits Shaw like how he meets MC that day, as the bolt of lightning who had appeared in her life. - (This is the best part of the track in my opinion!)

By the time this second chorus plays, we see past memories of dates that MC had with the guys in Season 1.

After, we see the Season 2 versions of themselves when MC meets them again.

MC is reminded that no matter what world or universe, they're still essentially the same boys she knows and loves.

The other instruments start to become more sound after this section as the electric guitar still lingers in the back. (2:30-2:42)

noThe violin, piano and electronic drum kit feature on a A minor chord. (2:42-3:06)

The piano and violin together land the ending of the track. - Starting with MC, ending with MC.

As the PV ends, we see the boys as snowflakes dancing to MC's music.

Shards also dance around the snowflake boys, symbolising the memories they had before that had been shattered, now needing to rebuild and reshape them into something new from the result of their rebirth.

[cheri-translates]

[Analysis] S2 Gavin’s theme song

The music used in MLQC is incredibly evocative and carefully constructed, so I spent some time analysing S2 Gavin’s theme song because I find that it sums up the relationship he has with MC very nicely!

Music is highly subjective, so don’t worry if you have a different view from me :>

🍒 Warning: Contains tons of S2 Gavin spoilers! I’ve tried to make things really clear in this post so you wouldn’t have to read through the entire swamp of S2 Gavin translations to understand what’s going on, but I’ll still include links to the references made! 🍒

INTRODUCTION  [ 0:00 - 0:12 ] - Reuniting as adults

I received a jump scare the first time I played the theme song LOL

It starts off abruptly in two ways - (1) the sound effect resembling a puff of air, and (2) the fact that it mirrors the 0:38 mark of S1 Gavin’s theme.

The sound effect resembling a puff of air essentially captures how S2 Gavin and MC reunite as adults -

Before I take a step forward, there’s a sudden tightening on my wrist.

My hands are firmly clasped behind me. Before I can get a proper look at the person’s face, my whole body is pressed against the glass behind me.

??: What are you doing here?

A familiar voice enters my ears, reminiscent of wind from the past awakening my memories.

The fact that S2 Gavin’s theme starts around the halfway point of S1 Gavin’s theme is pretty significant.

On a superficial level, this could reflect how there’s both a sense of familiarity yet foreignness to their dynamics. But this isn’t limited to S2 Gavin x MC, because the dynamics between the other love interests and MC do see a slight change as well.

But what’s perhaps more unique to their situation is that back in S1, Gavin and MC didn't get to know each other properly until they became adults. In contrast, when S2 Gavin and MC reunite as adults, they already have a shared past in Loveland High.

While we don’t know how their lives in Loveland High played out in detail, it’s inferred that they had meals together frequently:

Boss: Then, do you remember that lady who often came here with you back then? She still visits, and also likes to have her beef noodles with extra chilli.

Also, Mr Keller knows that the two of them are somewhat close and are still in contact, since he gets MC’s help in passing Gavin some old photographs, and invited the both of them to visit Loveland High for an activity. In contrast, back in S1, MC didn’t even know that Mr Keller knew who Gavin was until Campus Date.

Just as we’re thrown into the halfway point of what resembles the S1 soundtrack, we’re thrown into an iffy, halfway point of their relationship. In Chapter 1 of the main storyline, we can tell that they know each other well enough, but they aren’t as close as we’d expect ex-schoolmates to be.

Their meeting comes across slightly antagonistic on Gavin’s part, and he even straight out lies to her that officers are approaching, in order to force an answer out of her. Similarly, in Stray Date, Gavin uses his Evol to send her hovering over the ocean, once again trying to force an answer out of her.

Thankfully, this antagonism fizzles out very quickly as we learn that this is just Gavin’s tactic to squeeze the truth out of MC for her own good. And that he still cares about her deeply (evident in Dangerous Night Date).

Aside from the abrupt start, there are three other things to note:

The S2 soundtrack is much slower, and the notes are drawn out as compared to the S1 soundtrack. I’m inclined to viewing this as a representation of Gavin’s self-assuredness and pure confidence as the Commander of the STF and leader of the Special Operations Team

The piano chords. It’s probably just me, but I feel that they resemble the chime of a school bell. This point becomes significant in the analysis of the bridge, which we’ll get to later

There’s a somewhat grating, scratchy sound which I see as a representation of the tension between S2 Gavin and MC. There are only three places in the song where this scratchy sound isn’t present - the first verse, the bridge, and the outro

-

FIRST VERSE [ 0:12 - 0:38 ] - Gavin the student

This part likely represents the time Gavin was still in Loveland High, because the grating, scratchy sounds mentioned earlier (which I associate with the tension between Commander Gavin and MC), aren’t present.

At 0:24, individual piano notes come in. Even though they sound careful, they aren’t played in synchrony with the firm and resolute guitar notes. Sometimes, the piano notes are played alongside the guitar notes. Sometimes, they don’t.

I’d say that this represents missed opportunities. Despite S2 Gavin and MC meeting earlier in S2, MC ended up re-living one of her main regrets - not getting to read Gavin’s letter:

MC: They said Minor left a bloodstained letter on my desk and thought it was a threatening letter, so no one dared to go near it. But by the time I returned to the classroom, the letter was gone. I searched for such a long time… but couldn’t find it… I thought I accidentally threw it into the dustbin, so I looked through it for a long time. But… I couldn’t find that letter anywhere.

My voice grows even softer at the end, and I don’t dare to lift my head to look at him.

Even if this world were to be reset, unexpected events still present such regrets.

Like a merciless joke, an antithesis to my unwillingness to be powerless.

Even if she had read the letter and gone to the meeting spot, it turns out S2 Gavin didn’t even stay long enough to meet her at the arranged time:

Gavin: That’s not important anymore. Back then, I had already left before the arranged time. So it’s all right.

-

SECOND VERSE [ 0:38 - 1:04 ] - Gavin the Commander

The grating, scratchy sounds come in, injecting a metallic feeling which is in line with how S2 Gavin is often described as a “sharp blade” numerous times. As mentioned earlier, these sounds could also be a depiction of the layers of friction between MC and S2 Gavin.

MC is on her guard around S2 Gavin at the start, such as in R&S [Reunited Yesterday] where she thinks of leaving Lynn’s Kitchen the moment she sees that Gavin’s there too, and how she was genuinely fearful and trembling when he used his Evol to send her hovering her over the ocean in Stray Date.

If you listen carefully, you can hear that the individual piano notes are somewhat copying the upward climb of the guitar we’re used to hearing in the S1 bgm.

This could represent MC holding on to her memories of S1 Gavin as she navigates the new dynamics she has with S2 Gavin, which gives her the courage not to get intimidated by his cold exterior, and to trust him completely.

Gavin: I haven’t even rescued you out yet.

MC: With you around, there won’t be a problem.

-

FIRST CHORUS [ 1:04 - 1:28 ]

From 1:19 to the end of the chorus, the piano keys go off on their own, and they come across much more confident and complement the guitar notes much more than in the first verse.

I see all the choruses as instances where S2 Gavin and MC are given opportunities to work together, and we witness how well they gel as a pair. The best examples so far would be Stray Date and The Guardian Project.

I’m no longer that person who only knows how to let you stand in front of me. This time, I’ll stand beside you, and will not back down.

-

THIRD VERSE [ 1:28 - 1:56 ]

Nothing to say here, similar analysis to the second verse!

-

SECOND CHORUS [ 1:56 - 2:22 ]

Same analysis as the previous chorus.

-

BRIDGE [ 2:22 - 2:47 ] - Reminiscence

This part is breathtakingly beautiful. It’s obviously in stark contrast to the rest of the song as the piano takes the stage here. Even though you can still hear the electronic guitar in the background, it’s incredibly muted and mirroring the melody of the piano.

The instrument complementing the piano (it sounds like a harpsichord?) sounds like a middleground between the sharpness of the electronic guitar and the gentleness of the piano.

And here’s where the piano chords I mentioned at the start are significant. This is the only part in the entire song where the piano chords aren’t played. Rather, the chords are broken up and played as individual notes.

This part gives me the mental image of S2 Gavin and MC on the rooftop of Loveland High, reminiscing on their school days when things were simpler. It’s a moment where they peel away their roles as STF’s Commander and Black Swan’s Nox, and are simply Gavin and MC, old friends from school.

It basically represents the rare, precious moments of reprieve S2 Gavin and MC get in the ever-looming danger of S2.

Yet, even outside this safe bubble, the chords continue to be played consistently. They may be subdued in certain parts of the song, and louder in others, but the chords are always there. Their shared past in Loveland High isn’t something S2 Gavin can just ignore. On the contrary, it’s something that likely supported him through his time in the Police Academy:

Gavin is standing underneath a tree, holding a photograph in his hand.

Gavin doesn’t notice Tang Chao. All of his focus is channelled onto that photograph. In this moment, he seems to have unloaded all his defences, becoming a Gavin different from his usual self. Those perpetually stern eyes have grown dim, bringing with them a twinge of fatigue.

Tang Chao holds his breath, subconsciously squinting his eyes to identify the photograph. On it seems to be… a female? Could she be Instructor Gavin’s…

-

THIRD CHORUS [ 2:47 - 3:13 ] - The power couple

The chorus returns with incredible force, and it’s slightly different from the first two choruses. In the first chorus, the piano is subdued. In the second chorus, you can hear the piano, but it melds into the melody.

In this chorus, the piano is clearly audible, but it doesn’t disappear into the melody like in the second chorus. It goes off on its own, yet blends with the music at the same time.

I’m given the image of a power couple who complement and fight alongside each other. We see this very clearly in The Guardian Project), where S2 Gavin sees MC as an equal to the point where he readily agrees to go along with her plan without having to hear it first.

MC: I have a plan. It could lure the suspect out without requiring more manpower. Would you like to try?

Gavin turns his head to look at me steadily.

Gavin: What do you need me to do?

MC: You’re agreeing just like that?

-

OUTRO [ 3:13 - end ] - The future

As mentioned at the beginning, the introduction mirrors the middle portion of S1 Gavin’s theme. Here, the outro mirrors the first few notes of S1 Gavin’s theme...

We see S1 Gavin in S2 Gavin. His clumsy way of showing concern, his protectiveness over MC, his jealous tendencies, his handsome face, etc.

Gavin: But protecting you - this won’t change.

His expression is very cold, and a certain emotion seems to be restrained in his voice.

What he says is reminiscent to words being tossed out in a fit of anger. At the same time, it’s also reminiscent of a vow he has always been fulfilling.

Gavin: Regardless of position, I’ll never let you get caught up in danger.

The tune draws to a close with a crescendo which ends abruptly yet on a hopeful, anticipatory note. Their story is far from over, and I can’t wait to see what this undefeatable tag team will accomplish together.

-

Final thoughts:

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this even though S2 is still very far away LOL And special thanks to @ginkgomoon​ who has been waiting patiently for this analysis T^T♡ If you enjoy reading Gavin-related analysis, do check out her blog!!

I wish I were a better writer so I can fully convey why the S2 Gavin x MC dynamic is so incredible, and quell the worry most Gavin stans have about S2.

Relying on my translations is a completely different experience compared to hearing the emotions in the voiced lines and seeing the sprites, so I can understand why it might be difficult to feel as much for them as I do T-T

The thing I love most about the S2 dynamic is that the relationship between them is much more natural. Instead of S1 Gavin falling head over heels for MC the moment he saw her in the rain and started following her around, S2 Gavin and MC already established a friendship in Loveland High in S2. And they tease each other so much more HNNGHGH SLOW BURNS HURT SO GOOD

Strike a Chord (Gavin x MC)

Summary: Gavin learns to face the music.

Prompt: First time they saw each other cry.

Notes: This was part of @belovedstill ‘s New Fandom February event :) so it’s my first fic for MLQC and my fav Gavvy boi (just in time lol) <33 The prompt was also provided by @stehkotori ‘s collaborative writing event ‘Our Firsts’! (Both from discord). Also, do yourself a favour and PLEASE go check out these lovely ladies’ blogs, they are extremely talented and hardworking and I weep a little thinking about it hahah, I promise you won’t regret it!!!💛

Word count: ~2000

(Psst, if you wanna have an idea of what the piece MC plays in this sounds like, I imagined something like this: youtube / spotify) 

***

Another day, another pair of knuckles striking another face, painting another cheekbone red, another eye stained purple.

Gavin stepped out of the teacher’s office, clicking the door shut and sighing as he dragged his feet away. He studied his red and bloodied knuckles as he wandered through the hallways, grimacing as he ran his fingers along a particularly nasty cut.

There was a slight tremor in his hand, the effect of the pure adrenaline that had coursed through his body finally catching up with him. He heavily fell against a locker for a moment, surveying the golden-dipped leaves that whirled around the tattered bench across the path from him. The inevitable crash hit him, like waves against rocks on the shore. He should be going back to class now, he thought, and he almost entertained the idea until piano music began to fill the hollow hallway. The ethereal echo sang to him, calling for him in his temporary haze. A siren in a sea storm.

His budding curiosity got the better of him as his unsteady legs carried him towards the music. It wasn’t unusual to hear students practising during school hours, yet it often wasn’t as pleasant on the ear as it was now.

Gavin wandered past each practise room, only offering a quick glance into each one. All were empty except for one, and his stomach flipped as he did a double take.

It was her. Of course. How had that not been his first thought when the music started playing? Only her music had the power to captivate him so completely.

Rose brushed his cheeks as he found himself staring, yet he was physically incapable of breaking the gaze that focussed in on her hands, as long but delicate fingers danced tenderly across the keys.

It took Gavin a minute longer than it maybe should have to pick up on the subtle glisten that rolled down her cheek and the occasional jerk of her shoulders. She was crying, and the tears continued to run with every second that Gavin remained on the other side of the glass, helpless.

Except he wasn’t, not really. He could walk in there right now and comfort her. It would take no more than ten steps and he would be there for her, just like she was for him the last time she played. How could it be that something which had saved him before was now tormenting her?

Gavin pondered as reached for the door handle, the cool metal against his palm bringing a prominent reality to what he was about to do, and he started to question himself. Whether she would really want him in a vulnerable moment like this, whether he would actually be able to comfort her in the way she needs.

In a rare moment of weakness, Gavin decided he didn’t want to know.

So he walked away from her song, heavy with guilt but heavier with doubt. He would watch over her, like he silently promised her he would, but it was better for both of them this way. He didn’t need to be personally involved to look out for her, and she needn’t bother herself with him.

After all, she was a girl whose hands left subtle fingerprints on keys, whilst his left bruises on skin.

***

She defeatedly slid down the wall and swiped the back of her hand against her brow, wiping away the sweat from her efforts.

Gavin followed close behind, three boxes stacked high in his arms and not even a glisten on his face. His eyes tracked down to find hers, a chuckle escaping his lips at the state he found her in, “Done already? We’ve not even brought up the kitchen stuff.”

“You’ve gotta be kidding me.”

Gavin couldn’t help but laugh again when she completely sank to the floor, her hand pathetically waving an imaginary white flag in mock surrender. He placed the boxes down, “Okay, I hear you. We’ll take a break before we bring up the rest.”

“You always know what to say to make my heart flutter, Officer.”

Gavin rolled his eyes, but the curving of his lips followed swiftly after. He managed to pull her up to her feet, wrapping her arms around his waist before moving the damp wisps of hair out of her face, “Actually, I have something to show you.”

“Oh?”

He smiled, “Mhm. Come on, let’s have a look round.”

He laced his fingers with hers as they wandered through each room, mentally placing each piece of furniture. The vase that she had bought from the market on one of their first dates would look best on the windowsill, and the lucky elephant figurine that Minor got them as a housewarming gift would beautifully compliment the books on the shelf, standing proudly above the fireplace. The pair couldn’t restrain the smiles that crept up their faces or the occasional squeeze of their intertwined hands. Little pieces of them started to fill the space before they were even out of the boxes, their future unfolding before them.

Gavin stopped her before the conservatory, the curtains drawn and the door locked.

She raised an eyebrow, “Gavin?”

He said nothing, he simply unlocked the door and led her into the bright room. Her eyes took a second to adjust, but when they did her jaw fell slack, her eyes widening.

Standing there splendidly in the centre of the room was a sleek grand piano. There was not a fingerprint or smudge to be seen on its surface, completely untainted, as if it had always been there. Untouched, waiting patiently for her melody.

She looked to Gavin then, unable to formulate words as tears pricked her eyes. She stumbled over a few words of disbelief before Gavin chuckled, taking mercy on the girl, “Somebody owed me a favour, managed to settle on this. Isn’t she a beauty?”

She nodded, her smile reaching her eyes as she lunged towards Gavin, practically leaping into his arms. He caught her, he always did. Enveloping her in his arms, he held her closer, nuzzling into her neck as she spewed her gratitudes.

“Anything for you,” he said, pulling back and looking into her eyes before pressing his lips against her forehead, “Play me something?”

She nodded enthusiastically, plonking herself onto the seat. Gavin slid up next to her, noticing the instant shift in her energy as she admired the keys. She became serene, focussed, pondering over what song she should play for him. With the slight curve of her lips and a glint in her eye, her fingers began to move.

Within the first few seconds, Gavin felt his heart drop.

It was the song.

Not the song that had saved him all those years ago; not the one that had pushed him over the edge, but the one that he heard as he fell for the second time -- fell deeper in love with her. The first real snippet of her that he got; the first time he wanted to hold her, protect her from whatever caused her tears to run. It showed her vulnerability, an intimate moment formed between them unbeknownst to her.

He was so lost in her song that he only registered the tear long after it had fallen. One perfect drop, sliding down his cheekbone to lay rest at the point of his chin, before falling into his shirt. He tried to blink away the remaining moisture in his eyes, but only when he saw the glisten of droplets on her eyelashes did he stop himself.

Here she was, emotionally bare before him, unguarded and unafraid. A piece of music so personal played so freely, for him. The simple idea that he was trusted enough, that she felt safe enough, to be this vulnerable with him and let him into this sanctuary she had created made his eyes burn more, but now he didn’t care. They were on a path to a deeper, more vulnerable place in their relationship with this song, and he would meet her half way.

When her fingers seized, they finally looked at each other, sparkling pool staring into sparkling pool. There was a tender, warm silence shared between them before they erupted in giggles, palms wiping away the aftermath of their shared emotion.

She softly brushed the hair that obstructed the gold of his eyes and cupped his cheek, guiding his gaze to fall on hers, “I know why I’m crying, but what’s got you all upset, hm? You never let me see you cry.”

Gavin placed his hand over hers, leaning into her touch, “I’ll only tell you if you go first.”

She told him it was a song her grandfather had composed - for her. It told the story of her childhood, her growing up. She would often hear snippets of it when she visited, always in the background, the soundtrack of her youth. The first time she heard it in full was after he had passed, having left her the score to do with what she pleased. The first time she had heard it in full, was the same time Gavin had heard it in full. Completely unknowingly, by chance, an act of fate.

He could hear it now. The piece was absolutely riddled with her. Everything she was, and everything she became. This song, it was her.

Perhaps that was what pulled him in all those years ago in the barren school hallway. In fact, he was certain that was it. That song was what tied the knot in the rope they held between them, pulling him to shore every time he drifted away.

It was the second time he had been saved by her song, and he was saved every moment after.

“Would you believe me if I told you I’ve heard this song before? The day you played it in the music room?” he asked, her eyes widening at his confession. He continued, “I saw you, and nearly came in but...I was too much of a coward to go to you. I should have-”

He stopped when she threw her arms around him, burying her face into the crook of his neck and taking in his clean, fresh scent. He was so silly sometimes.

“You know, after I finished playing that day, I felt a huge wave of relief and...comfort. I thought it must have been the release from all the crying, but from that day I couldn’t help but feel that someone was watching out for me, protecting me. I assumed it was my grandfather looking down, but that never felt right. It didn’t feel like him,” she pulled back, meeting his eyes once again, “But I know now. It was you, wasn’t it? You didn’t need to come in, I felt it. I knew you were there, and that was the greatest comfort I have ever felt. You have a way of doing that, you know,” she rested her head on his shoulder, “Making people feel safe.”

Gavin could hardly keep it together, but he held on long enough to wrap an arm over her and pull her close, planting a long kiss on the top of her head. He focussed on the feeling of her against him, reminding himself that she was there, that he had truly found his way back to her. That, after all his years of doubt and bitter regret, he had never actually failed her.

That was his new favourite song. Not because it saved him, but because it saved her -- saving them.

Thank you so much for reading!! Have a lovely day <33

[banana-milk-enthusiast]

So the Shining Nikki early access was a week ago surprisingly they chose Canada for once i was so happy so thought I'd make my points before global drops

I figured that they would give us the skin options for free from the get go and I'm happy that they bothered but I will admit that having only 2 darker options is a bit of a let down. They rarely have a shade of brown close to match me but thats a personal nitpick I'm sure over time they'll hook us up.

On that note I hope we get more natural hairstyles sooner rather than later, from what i remember we starting get them in Love Nikki last year or so, which was years after release. I understand its much harder now seeing as how they'll have to actually model the hair and give it texture but I'll hold out hope it doesn't take too long.

I do dislike that the makeup options are locked behind the guild, i was looking forward to this feature but knowing that I'm limited in how quickly i get the items due to my guild contributions sucks.

The voice acting was a surprise, I didn't expect most of the story lines and cards to be voiced but its not bad. Admittedly at first I was verry iffy on the English voices but they quickly grew on me. They're not super anime to the point that its annoying but theyre not super realistic in their delivery either. Nikki's soft spoken tone and demeanor sounds really great imo. And the other voice actors are great in their delivery and inflection too though admittedly Joy does sound fairly nasal . The translated songs dont hold up too well though.

The soundtrack is amazing Love Nikki already had a great soundtrack but somehow Shining Nikki is even better. They're so catchy and beautifully arranged. Starheaven is my favorite theme so far.

The story came outta left field to me lol. I havent played Love Nikki in quite some time and I admit after what happened to Lunar the story became a blur to me, everything just started happening so fast out of nowhere. I barely remember the details just something about Nidhogg being cursed for what he did and the countries descending into chaos, Bobo being a traitor out of nowhere and going missing and honestly I cant recall much else. So imagine my surprise when I started up Shining Nikki and she's telling me the world had ended and she traveled back in time to try and stop it. And it's been a rollercoaster since then characters are pulling out guns and explosives?? a child had a knife!? I'm fearing for my life over here I just wanted to play a dressup game. Personally the story tone feels way more at place in MLQC (aka mr.love queens choice/ love and producer, a supernatural/sci-fi otome game made by the same company). Tone wise it feels like such a sudden shift thats pretty out of place imo. The writing isnt bad, its great it'll just take some getting used to personally, Its hard for me to imagine Nikki in such situations.

The graphics on the other hand whew boy. Every item is so lovingly modeled with great textures and shading that i cant handle it. Their lace, tulle, metallic, gem textures specifically are breathtaking. I do miss being able to dye duplicates though. Having to unlock diff color sets through the ark cards is super annoying.

The fact that accessories can move to accommodate your hairstyle is great too, and the layering of some accessories is a neat option. The suits we have now are great and I cannot wait for more to come (I have my wallet prepped for that Cardcaptor collab). I dont think we can change the nails yet but thats another feature i cant wait to see in the future.

I will say that the game is ALOT. As in they will hit you with feature after feature after feature and I'm sitting here like I only have so much time and stamina to keep up with all this. The current suits are less of a pain to craft thankfully the blueprint/set system is much better this game. But with set crafting, arena, intel, guild stuff, stylist academy, colours newsroom and the ark its hard to keep up with everything.

Cant think of much else to talk about rn, if anything I'll edit some thoughts in. I hope you guys are enjoying the game as much as I am and I look forward to Global Release.

Again., adv.

In the middle of a rowdy tavern, she's the only person he could ever see- A foreign girl who stuck out like a sore thumb with her shabby clothes and fierce gaze huddled in what little belongings she owned and yet, he couldn't explain why but he couldn't take his eyes off her.

Who is this girl and where did she come from? Was it possible for a mortal like her to possess the ethereal beauty of a goddess? Or perhaps she's a goddess traversing through the realm of the mortals, bestowing them blessing they did not deserve?

Whatever her reason may be, he couldn't understand why he kept gaping at her presence as if he was being entranced, as if... he had known her all along.

“Do you let me walk with you?”

“I do.”

But that couldn't be, could it? As he had surmised, this girl is a traveler from another town and as far as he could recall, he had never once stepped out of this town his whole life so where could he had ever seen such beauty?

“And keep on walking, come what will? ”

“I will.”

Mesmerized, that's how he is with her.

"Do you wanna talk to her?" the boy with feathers on his feet asked him, bringing him back to reality.  In another time, he would've been annoyed with this deity’s timing but with the arrival of this girl, he supposed he could overlook it just this once.

"Yes," he found himself answering the boy's question and if he were to look at his companion, he would've seen the melancholic glint in his eyes as if the boy had been expecting that answer.

"Go on," the boy's tone was lackluster in its enthusiasm and yet when Gavin looked at him, the boy gave him the widest, most obnoxious grin he had ever donned. "Oh but Gavin, bro, don't come on too strong."

And with renowned vigor, he began striding towards her, clutching a blood red carnation made out of paper- a measly offering for the goddess who had unknowingly stole his heart, hope blooming inside of him little by little.

“He said, you have to walk in front and she has to walk in the back. And if you turn around to make sure she’s coming too? Then she goes back here and there is nothing you can do.”

"Come home with me?" the boy who was watching the scene unfold before his eyes for the umpteenth time closed his eyes, partly out of secondhand embarrassment for his friend and partly pity for the future of the couple before him.

How many times had he seen this scene? How many times did he had this conversation with his friend?

“If you want to walk out of hell, you're gonna have to prove it before gods and men. Can you do that?”

“We can.”

"Who are you?" the girl's incredulous tone carried by the wind, making everyone in their vicinity chuckle as the lad's ears turn into various shade of red.

“The man who’s gonna marry you.” The seriousness in his tone made her face flush in amusement, her eyes widening as her icy façade broke. “I’m Gavin.” the lad added as an afterthought, making Minor facepalm.

Their story had been written a long time ago, a tragedy from way back then and that no matter how hard he tried for the sake of his friend, he could never undo what had been told for this was how it went.

A sad song that he had to sing as if it might turn out this time...

Shaking his head, he heaved out a heavy sigh before turning that smile into a welcoming one.

This, in front of him, is a love song with a tale of a love that never dies.

A story where Gavin will always meet her and fall in love with her, the same way she will put all her trust in him and because their love for each other was so great, he will always and always turn around for her, losing her entirely.  

And in spite of the way how it was written, this is a love song for anyone who tries.

Mythology AU whoop whoop! I’ve been listening to Hadestown soundtrack these past few days and as you may see, I’ve written this prompt with that musical in mind. And as you can see, there are lyrics hidden in there somewhere.

Hear me out, I know that the story of Orpheus and Eurydice is much suited with Kiro buuuuut that’s a bit predictable. So let’s spice it up for a bit and have Gavin be Orpheus and if it were up to me, I actually think that the story of Eros and Psyche suited Kiro better. Also... Gavin can actually play guitar so, in a way, he can be Orpheus. 

Let’s give it up for Minor, the ever so faithful wingman… literally this time. I said this is gonna be a Gavin week but for some reason, Minor has a share in this limelight. φ(*￣0￣)

Wooooo okay enough rambling. Send in some prompts!

Happy Birthday Lucien 🎉

Just hopping on to say happy birthday to our favourite Scorpio man ♏️ 🎂

For me personally, Lucien has one of the best soundtracks in MLQC, especially with A Curtain of Deep Love (which reminds me of the photo above) and his S2’s Night Fireworks. Even though it may be difficult for him to express his affection directly, these tracks always seem to speak those emotions for him.

May he always feel genuine happiness and celebrate his birthday joyfully with all of the Lucien stans 💜

🍀About me 

Hi! I am Lys, currently a medical student who has just completed high school! 

🍀Why did you start this blog? 

It was totally on a random whim. I think it was around the time I came to read a story here, and decided to open an account.

🍀What made you think to convert it into an inspo blog?

I have loved anime series since I had entered high school. Just to keep the quotes and moments I loved for myself as well as for inspiring you all, I decided to turn this into an inspo blog.

🍀 Your bias? 

Jumin Han (Mystic Messenger), Victor and Gavin (MLQC), Artem Wing (Tears of Themis), Toshiki Kasumi (Voltage Inc.)

🍀Can I ask you questions related to game story? 

I don’t have much knowledge about MLQC as well as ToT. I just love the dates and moments of these games. And currently, I don’t have the time to read the main stories... There are many more talented bloggers out there, so feel free to drop your questions there!

🍀Are you taking any requests? 

Hmm, as long as it’s related to analysis of a character, or any other related ones, I can answer those! You can also drop some fanfic requests from RMD! (I will try my best to answer, as long as they are not too mature.)

That’s all! If you want to talk to me, feel free to hit my personal message!  

[meowlayn-art]

You're really great at piano! May I ask you some question? I played piano for three years and then leave the lesson and continue by myself, but I'm not that good at it. Also, I'm not that big practicer(?) so what I want, miracles? Btw, how you get inspired? Have you ever had an "music block"? What kind of method of practice do you use? Thank you for your time! 🍀

♪ Hello dear pianist Anon !  ♫

Thank you for reaching out ! Although I am afraid I never posted a video of myself playing piano so you are giving me credit for something I can’t prove ( ´ ▽ ` ) (I was fairly good back in the days but not that much anymore haha).

I think you are referring to this post though, where I explained I got a new piano after stopping playing for a few years, and I was planning on learning MLQC”s theme. The video you saw, as I mentioned in the post, is a video by FlowerEmblem, who performed the MLQC theme (not me) beautifully and gave a link to the piano sheets in her description. If you enjoyed the performance please consider giving her a thumbs up and a nice comment on her Youtube channel  (o´▽`o)ﾉ

NOW. I could give you a few advices, because I played piano for 12 years, and I still remember a thing or two haha.

♫•*¨*•.¸¸♪ ♫•*¨*•.¸¸♪ ♫•*¨*•.¸¸♪ ♫•*¨*•.¸¸♪ ♫•*¨*•.¸¸♪ ♫•*¨*•.¸¸♪ ♫•*¨*•.¸¸♪ ♫•*¨*•.¸¸♪ 

1) “ I am not good at it” : it can be hard to keep practicing when you don’t have a teacher to help and motivate you to do so. I know. I had a piano teacher and that’s what kept me motivated for years, but I learned ukulele all by myself, so I understand how someone can feel discouraged of not improving “fast enough”. But funny enough, you answered your own question, Anon : if you don’t practice… Then you won’t improve. No miracles indeed ! ┐(￣ヮ￣)┌ It goes for any craft, any skills.

My advice would be to pick one or two SIMPLE pieces you REALLY enjoy, and start with that. Don’t bite on more than you can chew ! Really, choose something simple and enjoyable and keep practicing until you feel comfortable to move on to a piece that is a little bit more complex. I truly started to enjoy playing piano when I looked for piano version of Naruto’s soundtracks ( Sadness and Sorrow will always be my all time favorite) and kept adding the difficulty with more and more complex pieces, little by little. Also, that’s my personal method, but I never moved on to another piece unless I truly ‘mastered’ the one I was learning – and by that I mean being able to play with nuances and by heart. 

2) Inspiration : movies I really enjoyed, songs that made me cry, video games with gorgeous soundtracks (FINAL FANTASYYY) and anime were my main source of inspiration.

Again, to keep yourself motivated, I would highly recommend melodies you are deeply attracted to, almost in a visceral way. Not only will you be able to recall the melody more easily and spot the mistakes you make along the way as you read the partition sheet, but it will also make the experience more enjoyable. After all, if you don’t have a teacher forcing you to play a specific piece then, you are free to choose whatever you like ! Remember : start with something simple, nice and enjoyable, with a repetitive melody (or at least something you know by heart) if possible.

3) Music block : yes, it happened. And it can also happen nowadays when drawing – that’s called art block and it SUCKS (ง ื▿ ื)ว My advice whenever you feel blocked (either because you are not inspired or because you are not satisfied with what you are currently doing) :

Try something new. Do small exercises. Try and learn some basic music theory. Have fun with silly sound effects if you have a digital piano/keyboard. Try a new genre – but always KEEP. IT. SIMPLE.

Feed your creativity : do ANYTHING ELSE than playing piano and let your brain do the rest. You’ll notice a nice soundtrack in this show here, a beautiful melody in this videogame there, a new song you really enjoy… As I said, my inspirations came from my day-to-day activities.

JUST TAKE A BREAK. Don’t force yourself. Inspiration won’t come if you are frustrated or exhausted. Just accept that it can take a few days/weeks/months to feel inspired again. If playing piano is not your job, then there is no need to rush things. Find something else to keep yourself busy and it will come back 😊

4) Practice : so I might not be the best person to answer this one because I am not a professional, and that’s the method that worked for ME.

I usually make sure I am sitting correctly, that my nails are cut short, my hands are correctly positioned above the keyboard, I don’t have jewels or hair bothering me…

And then I decipher the partition bits by bits, right hand first, then left hand. Once I am comfortable with BOTH, I put them together – I am not that great at reading and playing at the same time at first. I usually do small sessions (not more than 45min because after that reading the sheets feels exhausting). And I don’t decipher the whole partition in one go – I prefer to “master” small bits at a time especially for long pieces, so that I can feel a sense of accomplishment between sessions – also my brain keeps working between the sessions and will memorize the gestures easier if it rests. I have always been taught that its better to work a little bit everyday than to try and learn everything in one afternoon 😊

My very talented writer friend @truth-be-told-im-lying blog (18+ blog) is a professional pianist and I am sure she could have a few more advices to add to this but I leave it to her :D Also please check out this beautiful collab she did with the amazing @saeyoungs-sunflower, it gave me chills  ♡＼(￣▽￣)／♡

Thanks for you message Anon, I hope it was useful in some way !

[milki-mlqc]

Hiii! I saw the headcanon you did of the four MLQC boys as kindergarteners/toddlers and I was wondering if you could do one where MC is the toddler and how the four guys would take care of her?

[tears-of-themiss]

MLQC Boys’ Music Tastes

I’m working on a Gavin fic atm as I finish up chapter 18, but I got struck with some music headcanons soo

Kiro

-listens to Fucking Everything he can get his hands on

-knows all the obscure underground up-and-coming groups

-adores all kinds of trashy pop music

-Absolutely had an emo phase that he never got out of

-loves soft indie music and will occasionally post covers

-likes giving shoutouts to artists he thinks are underrated

-his music library has sooo many soundtracks (movies, video games, animes, you name it)

-sometimes will stay up late with MC and blast music and use hairbrushes as microphones and just have a dumb dance party at 2am

Gavin

-you know he was all about that punk rock shit when he was a twerp getting into fights constantly (absolutely got like some Green Day album along with the walkman with that money he got once)

-hasn’t kept up with the more hardcore scene, but listens to a lot of rock/soft rock

-my boy absolutely listened to all those romance/heartbreak songs and pretended he was in a music video 

-as he’s grown his taste has gotten softer (loves some indie and pop, still loves a good mushy love song)

-also totally into dad music/dad rock

-is a little self conscious/shy about his singing voice (which is Fine, not bad, not amazing) but will sing to MC at night if they’re having trouble sleeping or sometimes if he’s off on a mission  

Victor

-basic bitch but fronts like he’s better than that

-he’s not

-all about that top 40s pop life though he’d die before he ever admitted it to anyone (except MC but even then he was p embarrassed for a while)

-lot of classical and jazz (old and new)

-100% has record player and collect vinyls

-has a little phone charger/speaker thing in the kitchen and often listens/sings along to music while he cooks (MC found out his love for pop after walking in to him singing like Taylor Swift or something)

-will slow dance with MC in the kitchen to some romantic jazz they were in the middle of doing dishes you dork

Lucien

-that guy who surprisingly knows a ton of music (though it’s not all stuff he’d listen to regularly)

-I feel like he would listen to a surprising amount of broadway for some reason

-jazz and classical (old and new) like Victor

-loves an instrumental version/cover

-listens to a lot of sad indie music & instrumental scores

-mostly listens to music while doing paperwork (part of why he likes instrumental music- it’s less distracting

-actually has a really nice voice & will sometimes join in when MC is singing something to themself

-has an insomnia playlist & will play it for MC (and sometimes sing along) if they’re having trouble sleeping
