19. Power of invisibility or flight?

That's a tough one. Flight would make visiting people and just getting around so much less of a faff. Then again invisibility would allow me to fuck with people and if I ever wanted to nope out of somewhere I could. Also imagine fucking someone while invisible, that would be so fun and intense. I'm gonna have to go with flight at the end of the day.

23. What’s your dream date?

I'm a simple man. Just a nice dinner, where we/I can cook it. We laugh and dance and do silly little things in the kitchen. Then maybe watch a nice horror movie marathon. Followed by the sloppiest depraved sex that it would make the neighbors call the police, to the point that Giger and Lovecraft would blush and give Clive Barker new ideas.

44. Do you have a favorite quote?

“whispers softly“ #手势舞 #moonlitdream手势舞

[tdtunedimensions2]

**"Echoes Beneath the Moonlight"** is a hauntingly beautiful journey through a landscape of forgotten love and wistful memories. The song opens with a soft, melancholic melody that sets the stage for a deep emotional exploration. As the music unfolds, you’re transported to a misty riverbank bathed in the gentle glow of a crescent moon. The moonlight dances across the water, casting eerie, ethereal reflections of a love that has faded into the shadows of time. With a blend of choral harmony and delicate instrumental arrangements, the song creates a mesmerizing atmosphere, evoking both a sense of melancholy and a touch of wistful nostalgia. The lyrics speak of a love that once flourished but has now become an echo of what once was, embodied by the drifting petals and the mysterious moonlit ambiance. The chorus intensifies this emotional depth, using soaring vocals and rich harmonies to convey the profound sense of loss and longing. As the song progresses, the music swells into a powerful crescendo, reflecting the overwhelming sorrow of a love that remains just out of reach. The bridge of the song offers a reflective pause, where the listener can fully immerse in the poetic imagery of a moonlit dreamscape, before the final chorus brings the journey to a poignant close. The outro leaves a lingering sense of wistful resignation, as the echoes of the past fade away into the night. **Hashtags:** #EchoesBeneathTheMoonlight #MoonlitMelancholy #LostLove #EmotionalJourney #ChoralElegance #EtherealMusic #MelancholicMelody #MoonlitDreams #HauntingLove

[real-life-cryptid]

i would like to know about your music industry au please i'm begging you

ASK AND YOU SHALL RECEIVE. LONG POST AHEAD.

ok so this is a. ranpoe-centric au because i. that is my whole identity. i only produce ranpoe content. so the main plot of the au revolves around ranpo and poe and their relationship as stars of the music industry under the spotlight

---

[BACKGROUND KNOWLEDGE]

the organizations here are all labels / production agencies that the characters happen to work under depending on their affiliation, and the heads of the organizations are the producers that the characters are signed under (ie; ranpo is signed to fukuzawa's agency as a solo jpop idol)

a lot of the plot before My plot parallels the actual bsd plot up until the guild arc but converted into something music industry related (atsushi getting kidnapped and rescued 500 times in canon is turned into the agency and port mafia battling over who will sign indie singer atsushi to their label first in au,)

some characters sing solo, others are in a band. none of this is based off the actual band mayoi cards (though those are very cool and i love them to death)

---

[ORGANIZATIONS]

THE AGENCY: one of the most famous labels in japan, specializes in producing jpop/jrock/indie musicians. one of its famous associated bands is "moonlitdreams", a bedroom pop band made up of nakajima atsushi (lead singer), izumi kyouka (backing vocals / songwriter), and miyazawa kenji (instrumental)

THE PORT MAFIA: nicknamed the "Port Mafia" for its strict contract, suspected corruption, and harsh treatment of its stars. specializes in jrock / rap. its primary claim to fame is the creation of "Double Black", the jrock band that keeps topping the charts... despite dazai's departure from the band and the Port Mafia label as a whole.

THE GUILD: nicknamed the guild for its exclusivity, it takes in talented singers from all sorts of genres, from punk rock to... erm. religious ska. its publicity contract is notoriously strict, and being seen acting outside of it is enough to get you kicked off the label, no matter your talent. hailing from here is the pop punk band "The Living Dolls", made up of lucy maud montgomery (lead singer / guitarist) and mark twain (drummer / background vocals). formerly, edgar allen poe was their background vocalist and songwriter, but he left the band for unspecified reasons.

[IMPORTANT CHARACTERS TO THE AU]

pspspspp just ask if you want to know about other characters ;) real life artists that produce similar music to what i think they would produce in the au will be listed in italics after the description

edogawa ranpo - jpop / alternative / pop rock singer. his adoptive dad, fukuzawa, runs the Agency, so he's often accused of gaining fame due to nepotism. in truth, the Agency was created for him and his talents, so the nepotism charge is very unfounded. he's a musical prodigy, able to master almost every instrument he lays his fingers on, but the reason for his minor fame despite all of his talents is that he is .... awful at publicity. though he is a likeable public figure, he does not hesitate on being bluntly honest even if it will ruin his reputation. get this man away from talk shows.

(artists: polkadot stingray, necry talkie, kero kero bonito)

edgar allan poe - gothic rock / dark cabaret / pop punk singer. released solo albums along with being a part of "The Living Dolls" up until six years ago. his last public appearance was guest-starring on an international singing competition with ranpo, who openly criticized his work, and then he disappeared for good from the public eye by announcing an indefinite hiatus. just before his hiatus, he posted a twitter statement claiming that his break was "for mental health reasons", but it's widely speculated that it had something to do with the singing competition. despite his total radio silence, his music is incredibly popular among certain circles (goths and emos) and they anticipate any signs of him coming back from hiatus.

(artists: thoushaltnot, shayfer james, ludo)

lucy maud montgomery - pop punk singer and the lead of "The Living Dolls", she's most known for her crazy vocal range and tendency to produce awesome breakup songs (despite never having had a known relationship). she struggles a lot with the Guild publicity contract, having been put on probation multiple times for letting her temper get the best of her while interacting with the paparazzi. she desperately wants poe to come out of hiatus-- not even to rejoin the band, but simply because she's worried for him.

(artists: the regrettes, paramore, avril lavigne)

akiko yosano - pop singer who produces exclusively hit singles. redefining what it means to be a female singer in japan, she rejects the idol persona most singers take on and finds inspiration in american pop and a femme fatale image. all of her songs are incredibly #girlboss. good for her. ranpo's foster sister and best friend, she coaches him through most public interaction with the media so that he doesn't ruin his reputation permanently. she is ranpo's de facto manager / advisor.

(artists: beyonce, the spice girls, gwen stefani)

---

[PLOT]

hoping to cooperate with an american label, fukuzawa makes an agreement with fitzgerald to send one of his artists over to America to collaborate with a Guild artist. fitzgerald is actually not very keen on cooperating, because he plans on buying out the Agency anyways, but for pretense he agrees.

the artist that's sent over is none other than ranpo-- and the singer he is sent to collaborate with is none other than poe, who is really not happy to see him for some reason. ranpo and poe's first meeting was on a singing competition, like the voice, and long story short poe got embarrassed on live tv so hard by ranpo that he took a 6 year hiatus from music LMFAO. and now he is permanently bitter and also refuses to produce music. which is actually why fitz set the two of them up together anyways: he doesn't really want to cooperate w/ ranpo's label, so he steered ranpo towards the One artist he employs that doesn't make music anymore to be like ohhh nooo u aren't making songs what a shame. back to japan u go.

of course ranpo doesn't remember indirectly driving poe to his 6 yr hiatus, he just remembers giving ~constructive criticism~ and then. not seeing poe for the rest of the show ever. ehehehe. maybe he should've guessed but urrr. its a rough start on the collab because poe simultaneously refuses to talk to ranpo, work, or let ranpo work. they butt heads w/ working together because poe is so capricious and keeps fluctuating between "i dont want to do this" and "stop doing it yourself you'll mess up". even in terms of genre, they clash-- poe's goth ass lyrics don't mesh at all with the upbeat instrumental of ranpo's music.

because of this, they're constantly at each other's throats. even as ranpo repeatedly tells poe "i don't want to fight with you, i respect you as an artist", poe can only focus on the way ranpo insulted him 6 years ago and hates that ranpo is acting like it never happened n trying to be nice to him (not an act btw ranpo legitimately does not remember what happened). this all leads up to a huge argument where poe finally voices the actual problem he has w ranpo about the singing competition 6 yrs ago instead of being passive aggressive about it and ranpo is like "What. That's Not How I Remember It." and they start piecing together the misunderstandings.

ranpo apologizes which is really rare for him so 👍 and says that it's what he thinks now of poe that matters and despite all of the fights they've been through, ranpo admires poe and can see the other's talent for songwriting. this flips a switch in poe's brain in where he realizes that the reason he was so emotionally distraught after the singing competition incident was not only because of the public humiliation of getting called out on live tv, but also because he liked ranpo and ranpo's criticism felt like rejection which he physically could not deal with so he channeled that into being angry. he does not voice this because its a realization he just doesn't want to deal with so. repression ❤️❤️

over the course of working on the collab album together, they gradually grow a quiet respect for the other. they live together in poe's studio apartment because ranpo Could find a hotel but it's easier to work together when you're in close proximity. they learn the little things about each other that make it hard to really truly despise the other person -- ranpo's sweet tooth, poe's doting affection for his pet raccoon karl. their relationship becomes less strained and more amicable. ranpoe domestic era.

poe starts avidly writing songs of his own again, and he'll never admit it, but the muse for his newer songs is always ranpo. he's kind of Down Horrendous but he refuses to acknowledge it. not even when confronted with the literal love song he wrote about ranpo. ranpo of course is Very Aware that these songs are based off him but he never says anything about it because 1) he's already ruined their relationship once by humiliating poe. he will not do it Again by asking if these songs are about him. and 2) he enjoys looking over poe's lyric drafts because it feels like a personal love letter to him (which it basically is since this is the only way poe feels comfortable expressing his feelings about ranpo) and 3) he's been Down Horrendous for poe ever since they met 6 yrs ago (though his feelings faded a little when poe was being a passive aggressive dick to him) so its nice to see poe catch up.

they finish their album, and on the night of its official release, they get extremely drunk together in their own little celebration party. ranpo can hold his alcohol because all he ever drinks is fruity little cocktails that actually get you drunk so fast so he's built a Tolerance. poe however has an alcohol sensitivity and so he can get white girl wasted after only a glass of wine. so the situation is that ranpo is only a little drunk while poe is fucking GONE.

ranpo suggests that they take a little walk outside in a nearby park so as to sober up poe a little n while they sit on a bench, poe drunkenly kisses ranpo n confesses his feelings. ranpo can't help but get a little flustered but ultimately he is like "yes yes i know i like you too but you are going to be soo mad when you wake up and realize you've confessed while wasted so you can tell me again when you're sober". n poe goes YOU LIKE ME TOO???? why is he so surprised. after that revelation poe cannot keep his hands off of ranpo because now he knows hes Allowed to want ranpo in this way so even with ranpo halfheartedly resisting in consideration of sober poe's feelings, ranpo gives in to poe and ermm. long story short they get very caught up in each other to the point of being totally unaware that the paparazzi now has a photo of them making out at the door of poe's apartment.

the next morning, poe wakes up to a really bad hangover, his phone blowing up with panicked text messages from lucy and twain with links to different gossip articles + too many twitter notifications, 25 missed calls from fitzgerald, and a sleeping ranpo in his bed. and he completely panics. not only did he obviously make a Very Public move on ranpo, someone he would rather confide his feelings to in private, but he also violated fitzgerald's publicity contract And accidentally "confirmed" the rumors of him n ranpo being in a relationship so now his twitter mentions are clogged as FUCK.

so in his panic he books the next one-way flight to yokohama in ranpo's name, shakes ranpo awake, and tells him that he has to go back to japan. after all, the contract is over, they've released the album. no more reason for the other to stay. poe tries to distance himself from ranpo so it'll hurt less when he leaves. insists that everything was all business and that last night was nothing more than a slipup so really, ranpo should start packing. ranpo doesn't understand poe's panic bc he doesn't care at all about the paparazzi or publicity in general and instead gets a little mad that poe would call what they had "business" because even Before they kissed it had Never been business, not even once, so for poe to say that it was. hurts more than he'd like to admit.

they get into a big argument and it ends with ranpo slamming the door in poe's face n leaving with the plane ticket. once ranpo leaves, poe tries to defuse the situation on social media and appease fitzgerald but everything he does once ranpo is gone feels kinda hollow. technically poe won the argument by getting ranpo to fly back to japan where he'll probably forget the other but. does not feel like hes won at all. ranpo has a few days before his flight so he's staying at a hotel and all the while poe is agonizing over his decision and moping around. he decides he'd rather endure all the gossip and have ranpo by his side than not have ranpo in his life anymore, but he can't find a way to Tell ranpo this. lucy gets very tired of poe venting all of his relationship problems at her so on the morning of the flight she pulls up to poe's apartment in her red cadillac and is like "get in loser. we're chasing down your man before he leaves so you can get your shit together." poe has no choice but to get in the car. lucy has a metal bat and he is weak willed and missing ranpo.

they pull up to the airport and catch ranpo before he boards the flight. yosano has been doing her own work as a ranpoe wingman by delaying the flight and talking with ranpo about poe's point of view of this whole situation so now ranpo is less mad and more guilty that he lashed out while poe was in emotional distress. poe apologizes for his harsh words and says he doesn't want to force ranpo to stay with him, but he'd like to pursue a relationship outside of work even if it means losing his contract at the Guild. ranpo in turn also apologizes for losing his temper, and says that poe was right before. he kind of Has to return to yokohama now so he can't stay in america. poe visibly deflates at that before ranpo says "but. nobody said you couldn't follow me to yokohama." with a sly grin. they kiss in the middle of the airport and lucy + yosano are blissfully free from the roles of wingwomen for two stupid gay men. the enddd ❤️

TCOGB thoughts

These are all unfiltered brain dump thoughts after spending some time processing what I read

I was terrified the next three books were going to heartmate trials and I am so glad that that isn't the case

Usually, I get bored with established couples after the first few scenes by I absolutely adore PoppyCas, their dynamic evolves a lot and doesn't feel tiresome (like Feysand in ACOFAS)

Smut was smutty but it was meaningful and advanced the plot so I am happy

the smell of Lilacs means more than just the blood memories and I need to know why JLA chose Lilacs for PoppyCas and also for the weird faceless creatures

MISS WILLA wow I want more of her in every book always

also JLA is sneaky with her teasers! changing things up and moving around names!

Kieran is just part of the PoppyCas relationship and I’m okay with that - joining or no joining, he LOVES them both, them all cleaning up after the attack, the HUG, it was all lovely

Kieran touching Poppy’s cheek and hair just ended me, like it was so casual and so caring and a huge difference from "I don't think you would consider us friends" in AKOFAF (may write a Poppy Kieran post)

Also Kieran being like "fuck okay let's ascend her" like DUDE that is bro energy

Also all of the wolven and Poppy with their little brain conversations - that will come in handy!

Poppy telling their crew to call her Poppy but calling her mother in law to call her Penellaphe was savage

Delano and Perry FOREVER (seriously we had less than 5 lines of this ship but I ship it )

am I shipping Netta and Emil based off of like two lines? HELL YEAH

I kinda love Valyn even though he’s a little extreme at times, just being like "you're family" "we're lucky to have you" really got to me

Honestly would do anything for any of the 5 Contou family members, Kihra, Zaddy Jasper, Netta, Kieran, the new baby

Actually on second thought, can Jasper and Kihra just adopt me?

I'm glad Tawny is alive but I don't want a Kieran Tawny Ship,

Also RIP Ian you tried to flirt with Netta and provided a vague hint that's the only reason I liked you

Also RIP Lyra we stan you and your sex positive attitude and you did not deserve to die

Casteel being surprised when poppy said ily killed me and Kieran being surprised when they made him advisor also killed me

Casteel just stole my fucking heart time and time again between his love confession, getting poppy to come back to herself, supporting her every which way, literally threatening his father, like ily king (also considering a longer post about this)

I KNEW the cave cat was important and I need to know more, like what color are his EYE? (update, they are "vibrant green eyes. Intelligent eyes. Knowing ones." thank you @moonlitdreamer for that! )

I also knew Casteel was going to get captured again but I did not expect Malik to be involved dear gods I am upset

I was expecting the devastation of Malik being found and not knowing them, but this was next level - he was fully lucid

I really started to like Eloana but she fucked up big time and I hope she realizes that and she atones

Poppy is still upset about not being a changeling but if her dad can shape shift maybe she can too?

Is Isbeth really Poppy's mom? I'm not 1000% on this but am stalking the facebook group to see if JLA confirms (update: JLA confirmed)

I am Ready for Nyktos and Nektas and Sera and Jadis in ASITE

To Be A Dreamer

T’is a night of moonlitdreams, a song of sorrowthe shadows sang. Wolves vent their howls,The star’s began to stirand fade into the slowrising beam’s of light. Night shrouds the earthin foggy clouds, a coldchill settles still. The inky black sky cascades over tragic hills, andthe night full of mysteries waiting to be discoveredslowly fades with the risingof the sun. Now a night of dreaming, I weep…

Peter Lik Known as Out by Photographers Over ‘Faked’ Moon Photograph

New Post has been published on https://takenews.net/peter-lik-known-as-out-by-photographers-over-faked-moon-photograph/

Peter Lik Known as Out by Photographers Over ‘Faked’ Moon Photograph

Photographer Peter Lik is purportedly one of many bestselling panorama photographers on Earth, having offered a reported half a billion value of prints by 2015. He additionally claims to have offered a single print for $6.5 million in 2014, which might nonetheless be the world’s most costly photograph as we speak. However certainly one of Lik’s new prints is elevating eyebrows and eliciting cries of “Photoshop!”

The photograph and print on the middle of all of it is titled “Moonlit Desires.” Lik’s web site states that the photograph was captured within the USA, and he’s at the moment promoting 950 Restricted Version prints and 45 Artist Proof prints.

Fstoppers first referred to as out Lik for the photograph by publishing a 31-minute panel dialogue and debate titled “How Pretend is that this Photograph by Peter Lik?“:

“Peter Lik has change into extraordinarily rich promoting prints that his sale crew swear are ‘actual’,” Fstoppers writes. “As everyone knows, every photographer (and most people) has their very own view on how a lot Photoshop is an excessive amount of, and at a sure level, we will simply cross that line.

“Though we haven’t spoken with anybody working for Lik about this specific picture, we think about they’ll say that this too is a single, unaltered body. So the query then turns into, how far is just too far?”

Plenty of observations are being made about this photograph — a lot of them arguments as to why it may possibly’t presumably be actual. One of the vital obtrusive ones for many individuals is the truth that among the clouds within the photograph look like behind the moon.

Questions are additionally being raised in regards to the dynamic vary (all the pieces within the scene is correctly uncovered), the lighting (significantly the course of the sunshine on numerous issues within the shot), the depth of area (all the pieces is completely sharp), physics (there appears to be an entire lack of atmospheric disturbance), and extra.

In a separate article on Fstoppers, photographer Steve Cullen factors out one other curious difficulty which may be a robust argument in opposition to the truthfulness of the photograph: the moon seems to be an identical to the moon in one other Lik photograph, titled “Bella Luna”:

Cullen argues that due to the moon’s wobble and actions relative to the Earth, “it could be extraordinarily unlikely to seize the very same face of the moon in two separate pictures at completely different instances and in several areas.”

“The percentages of this taking place by likelihood are in all probability one thing like profitable the lottery, getting hit by lightning, and fixing world warming all in the identical day,” Cullen writes. “Planning for such an alignment would even be subsequent to unattainable.”

“I don’t imagine that the moon in both of Lik’s pictures was there when the image was taken. I’m not saying there couldn’t be a moon in his uncooked photographs, it simply just isn’t the moon we see within the remaining works.”

No matter how truthful “Moonlit Desires” is, it has apparently been promoting like hotcakes:

If you happen to’re curious about getting a big print for your self, there’s a devoted microsite on Lik’s web site arrange for “Moonlit Desires.” The web page additionally comprises a zoomable 3000px model of the picture for those who’d prefer to pixel-peep at it extra intently.

Replace on 2/12/18: A consultant for Lik has now confirmed that “Moonlit Desires” IS certainly a composite photograph.
