Supernatural Seduction 101 with Helena Zhao, except she's the clueless student and the teacher is beyond late to class.
Previous / Next
Lilith (Pleasant): Hey, asshole! What makes you think it's cool to follow a girl ho-
[Helena engages in some casual hypnosis]
Lilith: God, where are my manners? I saw you at the bar earlier, didn't I?
Helena: [hesitantly] Y-yes?
Lilith: Yeah, I thought you looked really hot.
Helena: Y-you did?
Lilith: So are we going to make out now or what?
Helena: D-definitely. [thinking] Well, that was suspiciously easy.
-
Helena: Do you mind if I...
Lilith: Go ahead. I thought you'd never ask. You didn't tell me your name, stranger. I'm - oh, that feels good! - Lilith.
Helena: [concentration broken] What did you just say?
Lilith: WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING? GET OFF ME!
Helena: Just a little bit more. I'm so hungry.
Lilith: Please. Don't touch me. [sobbing] I have a kid!
Helena: [tenderly] ...A kid?
Lilith: His birthday's next week. He needs me!
Helena: I'm sorry. I didn't know. I wasn't going to take enough to kill you.
Lilith: Oh my god, you're that freak who's attacking people! It's all over the papers!
Helena: I'm not a freak.
Lilith: Well, then what are you? Why are you doing this?
Helena: I'm just trying to survive. I didn't ask to be this way. If you let me, I can make you forget this ever happened.
Lilith: I'm not letting you do shit!
Helena: Please! Don't tell anyone!
Random bat who definitely isn't a character we all know and love already: [whoosh]

SCREAMS
MORE SCREAMING
INTENSIFIED SCREAMING
First of all, when you tagged me as Georgia in the CYM did you look into my brain because THIS GIRL DHUDHUCIUHIDFUHKDFVUKHDKHU
AWW GEORGIA IS ON THE PATH OF BECOMING A SCIENTIST LIKE HENRY AND CHRISTOPHER!! MEMORIES!!
if Eidolon demons could do calligraphy, it would look like Georgia’s handwriting.
oof same
GEORGIA BABY IT'S OK I HAVE A HORRIBLE HANDWRITING TOO
I eventually gave up
she is so smart sniffs THE IRON SISTERS ARE IN LONG ISLAND
[5:16 PM]AYUGDCSYUGDCYGUVFDYUGVDFUYH SO THERE'S A RUMOR ABOUT RAFAEL DATING SOMEONE?? WHY?? DUDE LIVE YOUR OWN LIFE AND LET HIM LIVE HIS
“The poor boy had a crush on you for a month,” she heard dadda chuckle.
“Excuse you, it was a month and a half,” Mama corrected.
HUYDSUYGDFYGUFVSUYGVFHUVFUHUIFVUHFVUIHFVD
why is everyone so obsessed with the kids' dating lives like dude-
Uncle Alec had been elected as the Consul – again.
Pretends to be shocked. MY BOY IS THE BEST CONSUL OUT THERE FITE ME
And when he was stressed, he watched Dora the Explorer.
good to know im not the only one who watches cartoons when they are stressed(edited)
ALSO RAFAEL BABY IM COMING THERE TO FIGHT THESE PEOPLE WHO ARE SPREADING RUMORS THE AUDACITY
Georgia is the first ever person to actually enjoy izza's cooking
She had always thought of herself as a loner. It happens when you think differently from everyone else. Sometimes you feel like you live in your own world with your own rules. She had been okay with it. She had been comfortable.
same bestie same
Georgia had been surprised because she hadn’t known she was an option at all.
i feel like this fic is calling me out
But Georgia couldn’t let it go. She refused to believe that things were either good or bad. Anything can be anything if you know how to use it.
YES
“Brother Enoch!” Lexi raised her hand. “Up top?”
The silent brother stared – or probably glared cause you could never tell – and walked past them to the institute office room.
“He is never going to high five you,” Georgia pointed out.
“Nah, he is just a little shy,” Lexi grinned. “I will get that high five. You will see.”
HNVUHVUHVUKVDFYHUDUKFVH I LOVE THIS SO MUCH
JACE MAKING PUNS AND BEING OBSESSED WITH TEA
GIMME
“Hey!” Mama said – her face looked a little red, like she had put lipstick all over her face, not just her lips.
Now I would have overlooked this but shadowhunters are getting sick and dying and I'm worried.
THE PARABATAI TEST THING YGSDCYUGDUYGKFWECYGUKWFEYGUK ROMAN
“Lexi tried to eat her witchlight to see if she would light up,” Georgia pointed out. “Of course, she doesn’t know what’s good for her!”
THESE DAMN HERONDALES GEORGE
IM GONNA CRY NO Their bond...HUYGYJUDYJDSCHUKDUKYDFV the way Georgia knew
“That’s just a common misconception,” dada laughed. “Do you think I’m the responsible one in my parabatai relationship? Or is it Clary? I literally summoned angel Raziel in the middle of a farm and your Clary raised her boyfriend from the dead.”
“And if you think Alec is the responsible parabatai then I have a lot of stories to tell you,” Mama chuckled to herself.
HYSUHYSCUDUYIDHUDFVUIFDVUKHFVDU
I dont think that it was Lexi telling Georgia about the test that fucked it up. there is definitely something more to it.
It sounded so simple. Georgia frowned at that. “But what I mess up?”
“Then we will call Magnus,” Mama said, and dada laughed at that.
TRUE
“Then I will wear it to my first day at the academy,” she grinned and walked away.
“I'm having war flashbacks to my middle school days. Our daughter is going to get bullied,” she heard dada whisper to her mother.
“Our daughter is going to be the biggest badass to walk this earth,” mama corrected.
“I thought you were the biggest badass to walk this earth,” dada chuckled.
“I’m going to retire.”
AWWW
Georgia and Simon are such nerds I LOVE THEM
M GONNA CRY
[5:49 PM]THEIR FRIENDSHIP
“That’s insane! If I want cool weapons, I will break into the adamant citadel,” Lexi sounded angry.
YES LETS GO ~!~(edited)
Georgia smiled at that. “I know, Lex. I just…I guess I couldn’t understand why would want to be my parabatai in the first place. I know I am a litte-”
“Talented? Brilliant? Incredible? Amazing? Show stopping? Spectacular? Never the same? Totally unique? Completely never been done before?”
“Stop quoting Lady Gaga!”
“Never!”
AHHHHHHHHHH THEM
“I don’t want to be born into greatness,” Lexi confessed quietly. “It makes me feel like I didn’t have a choice. I'm going to be great, I want to it be my choice.”
Georgia smiled. “I understand.”
“And you’re my first choice, Gigi,” Lexi whispered. “Cause you’re pretty damn great.”
FUCK THAT WOMAN BESTIE YOU DO YOU
Lexi chuckled with her and pulled back. “When things get rough, you are not going to abandon me and become an Iron Sister, right?”
“God, no!” Georgia shuddered thinking of the serious looking Iron Sisters in their white robes. “I don’t think I could pull of the white aesthetic.”
“You can pull off anything,” Lexi firmly disagreed.
“Besides, they can’t get married,” Georgia pointed out, and Lexi made a face. “What if Harry Styles finally replies to my fan mail? It’s too risky.”
i would die for these two no questions asked. look im against smoking but alec smoking is my aesthetic LEAVE ME AND MY PIZZA (with way too many veggies fuck you my brother) ALONE
“Uncle Alec,” she said. “You better not smoke again after I leave.”
“Or you will tell Magnus?” he grinned.
“No. I will tell granny.”
His grin disappeared immediately. “Damn. Okay. Fine. No smoking.”
I CHOKED-
GEORGIA MAKING LEXI HAIR CLIPS OUT OF ADAMAS
“Oh shit, was I supposed to get something you too?” Lexi asked awkwardly. “I thought I didn’t have to…cause I kinda gave you my soul as a gift and all that.”
Georgia chuckled. “I accept your gift.”
“Good,” Lexi grinned. “Cause it’s non-refundable.”
sigh herondales (affectionate)
Also I don't think I'm ever getting over Magnus as Dumbledore
I AM OFFICIALLY NAMING MYSELF PROTECTOR OF GEORGIA LOVELACE LIGHTWOOD IDC IDC
damn it's almost 7 am- my sleep's fucked. BYE!!!
YOUR REACTIONS GIVE ME SO MUCH LIFE.
If you ever want to do one of those live reaction videos on YouTube for shows and stuff, you should totally give it a go. I think you would KILL IT.
Gigi and Lexi have the purest form of friendship. I can't wait to show you more of it!
Laters x.

Simblr Asks - TS3
Saw these questions by Teauke on my dash, and y’all know I love talking/ranting about The Sims; let’s go! ^0^
1. how big is your mods folder?
Tumblr media
That’s my mods folder with only mods/hacks/overrides; no CAS or build/buy CC installed. It’s a miracle that nothing conflicts, at least not as far as I can tell.
2. how would you describe your style? A sporadic mix of tv/gaming fandom-inspired conversions and recreations, of mostly fanciful and/or cultural themes & genres.
3. What is your favorite challenge? I’m a builder at heart, so I love recreating lots and interiors. Challenges where we find IRL rooms/scenes and remake them in TS3 are always the most fun for me.
4. do you make cc? if so, what kind? I make fanciful & cultural custom content (occult, sci-fi, boho, etc). I make CAS CC sometimes, but I prefer making buy/build CC.
5. what type of cc do you hoard? Not everything, but a lot. As creators retire and links die, I’m even more paranoid than I already was that CC will no longer be available anywhere.
6. what default eyes and skin do you use? I don’t use default-replacement skintones, but I do use Buhudain’s You Are Real mod.
Tumblr media
As for eye defaults, I absolutely love Moonskin’s Shiny Glass replacements.
Tumblr media
7. how many urls have you had, and what are the meanings behind them? All of my simming URLs on MTS, TSR, the officials, and Tumblr are some variation of my first name, Murfee Lee. Because yes, I am that darn creative.
8. who is your favorite gameplay blog? 9. who is your favorite storytelling blog? Ugh, there are too many good ones out there.
10. who is your favorite cc creator? All of my favorite creators retired years ago: DyM/Hekate999 (fantasy build/buy), Parsimonious (everything), Luna (everything build/buy), Qingshuangtongzi (Asian everything), Amethyst (Asian CAS), Art-Sims (CAS everything), etc. I swear, the day Sandy/ATS3 (everything build/buy) retires is the day I’m having a panic attack.
11. how do you edit your photos? Badly. Tweak the brightness & contrast and call it a effing day.
12. what is the last screenshot you took? It’s a surprise.
13. what do you do when you are unmotivated? I am never “unmotivated,” so much as I am distracted. I think the reason I’ve simmed so long is strictly because I’m always inspired by fandoms. If I get distracted by a tv/game, it becomes my next muse (aka current obsession). It’s not that I get unmotivated to finish the old stuff I pretty much abandon, it’s just that there aren’t enough hours in the day for me to do everything I want. Sometimes I return to older saves/gameplay. Most times I don’t though--unless someone messages me wanting to see it again (and that’s effing rare). 
14. who is your current favorite sim? Sakura and Nasir are my alltime favorite sims. But I must admit that I patted myself on the back pretty dang hard when I created Tsukihime-Sama for my Moon Medicine gameplay. I love every sim I made for that gameplay (which I really need to finish one day, ugh), but my Lunar Moth Goddess? 👌
Tumblr media
15. who is your current favorite sim that is not by you? Every sim that @obscurus-noctem​​ is out here sacrificing goats in order to create. It’s just disgusting how pretty everything on their blog is. Those mersims? Those graphics? That editing? Makes me effing sick. 
16. recreate someone else’s sim in your style. I think I saw a challenge like this a few months/years ago, but never did it. But I DID do the Picrew version.
17. do you talk about sims with people in real life? One of my professors plays SimCity. Naturally, we bonded over how wack EA is. ^_^
18. how many of the packs do you own? All of them, except the Stuff Packs. Barring Fast Lane and Movie Stuff, none of the other SPs are worth the price; it’s just build/buy/CAS CC any MaxisMatch creator.could make for free. I’ve always felt that way about SPs, which is why I never bothered with them in TS1 or TS2 either. I will say though, that TS4′s SPs are something else entirely, which brings me to #24 (see below).
19. how many posts do you have on your blog currently? 2764. JESUS.
20. how many drafts do you have on your blog currently? 363. U_U And most of those are CC sets & gameplay posts I never finished.  
21. how many posts are in your queue currently? It’s a secret. ^_^
22. have you ever moved blogs? Never. I never even changed my theme or URL.
23. are you in any sims related discord servers? Yes, the Creators Cave, but I effing hate Discord; it’s just a royal pain to navigate, IMO.
24. what are your thoughts on the most recent pack? (paranormal) Speaking of Stuff Packs!
RANT ALERT!
If anything, TS4′s SPs are doing way too much (adding new gameplay, careers, lifestates/NPCs, lots, etc!? WUT.) Or rather, its EPs aren’t doing nearly enough. I love that TS4′s SPs add meaningful content. But if they’re raising their bar, that means the Expansion Packs need to rise by the same degree, to stay relevant, if anything.
But EA, in their infinite ineptitude, seems to be scaling back with their EPs! Cutting what should be 1 cohesive EP into multiple SPs & GPs piecemeals the content and cheats people out of money, by having us pay more for less! The TS4 SPs do a lot, yes, but now let’s talk about the Paranormal SP for example:
Tumblr media
Paranormal Stuff does perhaps the most any SP in The Sims 1/2/3/4 ever has, and has by far the most worth for its money...but at a dire cost:
- the career only has 5 levels instead of 10 (thus being nowhere as deep as TS3′s combination of the Ambition EP’s Ghost Hunter and the Store’s crystal ball--which links with the Supernatural EP’s Spellcasting skill)
the crystal ball is a 1-trick pony
unlocking Bonehilda is tied to grinding skill/career levels, only for her to do EFF ALL once she finally arrives (and her face looks like melted cookie dough WTF)
most of the gameplay is tied to the pack’s new lot/venue
and the ghosts are still meh
So rather than TS4 having an actual Supernatural EP, instead it has the ok-but-disappointing Realm of Magic Game Pack (which I’ve already ranted about), the watered-down Paranormal Stuff Pack, and the INCREDIBLY OP Vampires Game Pack (which I’ve salivated over). That’s already $40--the cost of TS3′s Supernatural Expansion Pack, mind you--but with the glaringly absent inclusion of Fairies, Werewolves, AND Zombies. O_O WHAT THE HELL, EA. To get the full Supernatural experience in TS4 is gonna end up running people not $40, but perhaps DOUBLE, if werewolves & fairies get their own GPs (unless EA waters them down in SPs, which would still be anywhere from $50-60). EA is robbing people blind.
25. how many hours have you played sims? I have no idea, no doubt thousands.
26. if you play gameplay, do you play with mods? See #1 above
27. what’s the farthest you’ve gotten in a challenge? See #3 above.
Thanks for reading!

I did not actually post about the SHIELD finale besides my bingo card yesterday because I was very tired lmao so here is my roundup of thoughts!
tl;dr 7.5/10, mostly pretty emotionally satisfying, the best My Little Pony/Care Bears episode I’ve ever seen, I will miss this dumb show, Skimmons forever <3
Someone appears to have sat the writers down and said “look, here are all the things you did wrong in season 2, a lot of them were super racist and make you look bad” and they went “ah fuck whoopsie, we can totally make up for that” and then...they kinda did????? like one of the things I hate most about this show is the Jiaying plotline, it’s very bad and racist and I’m not just saying that because it’s Dichen. But like...they gave them a whole emotionally resonant plotline where Daisy and Jiaying got to talk and like kinda make up??? and she died which sucked but I’ll take what I can get. SHIELD SAID JIAYING RIGHTS
KORA!!!!!! oh my god Kora is literally just Kara all over again and I don’t care, I LOVE this. I love that Daisy was like “ok you’re being super annoying but I still don’t want you to like die or whatever ‘cause you’re my sister, so I’m going to point out your shitty Nazi boyfriend is shitty in an attempt to get through to you.” AND THEN KORA LISTENED AND LEFT HIM. IT WAS MAGICAL. I was absolutely sure that Kora was on the express bus to Fridgetown and then she just didn’t die and she and Daisy get to be sisters now and it’s so beautiful!
Jemma just straight-up being in Dollstate was the funniest thing to me. I did Notice that Daisy was extremely acting like her handler, which was cute for the ten minutes this went on or whatever.
On that note, can’t believe that SHIELD continues to be a better Star Wars than Star Wars. See: Daisy floating in space Leia-style, Kora being turned from the Dark Side with love.
I cannot believe that the writers were like “how do we tie up the Chronicoms plot? We are going to CARE BEAR STARE them into being our friends!” It is so wildly stupid and charming and optimistic and I love it so much.
I also love that the entire thesis of the show is literally “the real Agents of SHIELD was the found family we made along the way.” ENDGAME WHOMST, SAID AGENTS OF SHIELD. WE ARE HERE TO BE A FAMILY NO FUCKING MATTER WHAT. FAMILY MEANS NO ONE GETS LEFT BEHIND. OR FORGOTTEN AT THE BOTTOM OF A CLIFF. (Daisy was not left at the bottom of a cliff, but still.)
Daisy gets to lead SWORD with her sister and her manfriend!!!!! That was lovely and a perfect ending for her. I’m so proud.
I also really warmed to Sousa over the course of this season, because when he first showed up and they were like TIME FOR ROOOOOMANCE I was like “ah shit here we go again” but actually, no, he’s totally fine. He’s just Victor from Dollhouse and his entire purpose is to be supportive and sweet to his ladyfriend. This is fine by me. I rescind my former statement that Robbie Reyes is the only man good enough for her, Daniel Sousa is also Lentils Approved™.
I have one (1) significant qualm and it is that Leo Fitz is a sentient piece of cowshit who was perfectly willing to hide out in a time pocket for YEARS and play house while the world was burning around him. He saw no problem with this and felt no guilt, unlike Jemma, who is a human being and felt guilt. I hate him so much and he should’ve gotten brain cancer and died. I am pretending that is what happened. Also, I’m fairly convinced the baby was his idea, not Jemma’s. We stan a relationship with mind control and reproductive coercion!!!!
The baby was REALLY cute though. Much like Morgan, it’s not her fault that her daddy’s a shithead.
I also feel cheated because I wanted to see Mack and Elena have kids!!! Like that’s obviously going to happen or at least they will adopt Flint and I got none of these things and I am annoyed about it.
I think Melinda’s ending is a little dumb, but mostly because if anyone deserves to retire, it’s her. I hope Andrew is still alive in this timeline.
I want a spinoff about the adventures of Mack and Elena, SHIELD Power Couple. I just think that would be cute and she, Piper and roboDavis seem like they’re having a great time.
VICTORIA HAND CAME BACK we literally cheered we were SO HYPED
Oh also Daisy spent the entire two episodes dragging the shit out of Deke and then he stayed behind in the past just like I wanted him to and we never saw him again and he never got anywhere near kissing Daisy HA HA HA HA HA.
IMPORTANT EDIT: Daisy and Jemma are two of the last to log off the call at the end of the episode and they promise to contact each other about a particular thing and then Daisy winks at her. SKIMMONS LIVES BITCHES
anyway! this show was weird and made me mad and sad a lot but unfortunately I love it and have built quite a lot of my fandom life around it, so uh. So long, you weird little superhero show. <3

The Jacobs Labs. (Series)
The Jacobs Labs stories: The Body swap of Sam and Liam.
Please be aware this is a role play that I did with @liamstfstories and I edited it slightly to turn it into a joint story / roleplay style text. Enjoy! PS it’s my first story series I’ve ever written!
Part 1: The upcoming days to the trip to the life change
Main characters:
Tumblr media
Sam was a typical British male aged 28 who was into his fitness and was toned but nothing major but the one major perk he had was his 10inch cock which was thick. Sam had a short buzzed dirty blond hair cut which you could relate to an army cut while having green eyes. He would of been a typical hot guy in the eyes of the British. You see Sam had a keen interest in travelling as he recently won a few thousands on the lottery but it wasn’t enough to retire from work. He went on a life changing trip to Australia where he used the money to get a new life started. He happens to meet his future boyfriend called Liam’
Tumblr media
Liam is your typical Australian male aged 20, he had a skater style body which he had a six pack that could show through tight tees. He got brown eyes and brown hair which changes time to time as he follows the style trend in his town. You see Liam has this typical boyish personality which tends to make him act younger but you would call him a normal Australian. Full of energy and takes every challenge in a chilled manner. Liam met Sam at the coffee shop that he works for.
Their relationship went from a simple chat to Sam moving into Liam’s apartment within a week and it turns out that Sam with his mature attitude looked after Liam like his son. Sam loved how Liam personality was and always laughing at the silly things he does and say. Liam on the other hand loved Sam due to his large British cock and his smarts. Some reason these two were a perfect match for each other until Liam mentioned about a new company recently moved into Sydney that was based on advanced medical operations.
Jacobs Laboratories was a recently founded company based in Sydney that specialised in medical conditions and Mr Jacobs Williams was the founder. He had a special underground branch that was trialing operations that wasn’t approved by the government but because the company was respected by the city for it’s massive investments it got away with the hidden experiments.
Jacobs had a breakthrough with one it’s new machinery that can prevent any cells undamaged in an operation. This was managed by a breakthrough on a certain liquid that runs along side with human blood cells. Jacob needed to test trial some major operations when one day he went into the coffee shop where Liam works at. Jacobs saw Liam having a crazy conversation with Sam about their bodies and how amazing it is to experience each other from a different view. Jacob was indeed curious by these talks and took out a card with a message and number and left it in Liam’s jacket.
Later on that day Liam picked up the card and saw a message saying:
Dear Liam and Sam, I overheard your conversation earlier and heard you two was in need funds and was interested in exploring a new life. How does this sound? 100k for a successful swap of you two to swap bodies? If interested please call this number.
Liam was so excited by this and straight away he went home to speak to Sam and both of them was interested in this. Sam had a lot of doubts if this was true but decided to call Jacob's up to arrange a meeting in a few days time. Both Liam and Sam was joking about being each other in the upcoming days. Liam was so convinced he was going to have Sam’s body just to have his cock and smarts, he kept on winding Sam up about being the smart big cock guy in the apartment. Sam was thinking over about giving up everything he built up for a fresh start as Liam who not set himself out a career.
The day has finally come for them!
Liam was in bed just waking up after Sam’s phone alarm. Sam was already up in the kitchen cooking breakfast.
Liam got up and put on his white boxers and went into the kitchen to see Sam in some tight blue chino shorts making some smoothies for the day.
I turned around and saw Liam rubbing his eyes as he just woken up.
S: ‘Morning Liam I hope you are ready for today’ *looking at Liam’s golden tanned body knowing that will be me in a few hours
L: ‘Hey dude, I am totally ready to take that body of yours today’ *winking at Sam
S: ‘I made us some breakfast smoothies for today to keep us full, who knows what is going to happen today. *drinking my smoothie and Liam doing the same.
S: What are you going to wear today? *looking at your sexy body knowing that will be mine.
L: ‘uh i'm just wearing a red shirt and some black shorts’
S: ‘Typical you always putting on the clothes from the floor!’ *I put on some shorts, tee, snapback and black vans
L: ‘what now?’ *looking at Sam in a confused way
S: ‘You looking so damn sexy Liam! Sure you don't want to jerk off before we head to the labs?’ *sees Liam still not dealt with his morning wood
S: ‘Might be the last time you jerk that morning wood of yours!’ *chuckles knowing Liam can spew out a big load of cum every morning. Just amazes me that it soon could be me doing that!
L: Well if i did it now, u wouldnt have as great of a time when u take the body?’
S: Yeah true still you never will feel that cock again after we switch bodies!! Plus I be the one spewing that huge wood of yours! *smirks at Liam knowing I could be right on that!
Liam looked at me like he was using his brain cells for once. . .
L: ‘hmmmm’ *Looking at his morning wood giving it a rub
S: ‘I just want to make sure you don't regret it.’ *hoping he doesn’t actually come up with an idea as I want to have that for myself!
Liam smirked at me . . . What has he got to say I wonder??
L: Think u could give me one last blowjob? *smirking even bigger now
I stood there looking at him rubbing his cock knowing I have no option but to give him his final blowjob. I went towards him and gave it a rub and I could feel how bloody horny this guy was!
S: ‘Ok Liam since it the last time you going to experience that crazy wood of yours!’
I go on my knees right there looking up to my new body to be knowing I will be making Liam do this to me so he knows how much this annoys me sometimes.
Liam pulled down his boxers and said ‘Hell yeah!!!!’
I saw this decent sized cock pointing towards as I went to put my hands on it to give it a rub to get it pulsing before it goes into my mouth for a full on session. As I rubbed it, Liam moaned and smirking that he got me to give him his first blowjob in weeks. He was moaning more as I was rubbing his veins. I decided to pull down his foreskin to expose the red pulsing tip of his cock.
Liam was moaning like mad as I was giving him the best ever blowjob he had from me. All I heard was
‘MMMMM’
‘AGHHHHHHH’
‘MMMMMMMM’
L: ‘GODDDDDDD I might actually miss this body’
L ‘But oh well! Guess I still gonna be so good seeing it from the outside!’
He was saying this between his moans as I was sucking it real hard hitting at his prime spots
I was giving Liam the best ever sucking just to fully understand how his or soon to be mine new cock works. I can't believe how thick and big his cock is and how much cum he can spew from it. It tasted amazing with the shower gel he uses in it also. I just carrying on enjoying every moment of this blowjob knowing I soon be this handsome man!
A few minutes later:
I carried on sucking, just to hear Liam moans more and see his body gets all tensed up as he will about to release his loads.
L: ‘MMMM THIS FEELS SO GOOD’
Liam started to thrust his hips forward as he placed his hand on my head. He was thrusting more and more as his hands were on my head and they felt so soft!! I carry on sucking his cock like it's the last day on earth! My tongue touching the spots that sends Liam into a new deeper sexual level!
Suddenly Liam spoke!
L: ‘FUCK IM GONNA CUM!!!!!’
He pushes his hips further forwards as he grabbed my  hair as tightly as possible while moaning louder!
L: ‘MMMMMMMMMM HERE IT COMES SAMMMMMMM!’
Within that last second he released many thick loads down my throat as I swallowed every drop of his cum knowing soon he will be tasting that in his mouth later on today!
Liam shouted out FUCK DUDE!!!
Every single drop of this tasty Aussie cum went down my throat. God he must eat or drink some sweet stuff considering that actually tasted really nice. I pull out and lick my lips. Then I looked at him!
S:"Fuck Liam you tasted so delicious like sweet nutmeg! Did you eat some nutty health bars or something today?" *smiling as that did taste really nice!
L: “Haha nah dude i don't eat much nuts at all, I guess I just taste that good normally!” *he sighed as he laid back onto the kitchen side
L: “Dude that was so good! I’m so glad we were able to do this before I leave this body!”
He stood up and pull up his shorts and headed towards the bathroom to clean himself up so he looked presentable for today’s trip and his last outing as himself.
I walked to the kitchen sink to wash my face and take a cold drink to wash the cum down into my stomach. I can't believe how much I just swallowed from him. All that healthy proteins, luckily I had the pleasure of having it and not some other guy! Liam spent a few minutes cleaning himself up in the bathroom.
Liam: I walk back out of the bathroom, grab my shirt, put it on and walk up behind up to Sam  whilst he was at the sink. I press my bulge against ur ass as I leaned over u and grab myself some water. I rubbed my still hard cock on purpose and then said
“Lets go to this lab, I think I'm ready to swap”
S: I felt something pressed against my arse and god it was huge knowing it was Liam's after that blowjob. It still must of been really hard. I looked around and smiled when Liam said this but I went in for a last kiss! I turned to feel up Liam's body under his red top rubbing every part of him just to get one last feeling from it as an outsider. I was so lucky to have such a handsome friend like Liam who I cared for so much!.
Liam: *I started to blush and awkwardly smile at him and he continues to feel me up. He really knew how to turn me on even more by doing this!
“alright dude, im sure ur eager to get this stuff as your own, so let's go!”
I leant over Sam and grabbed his car keys
“ill drive today!”
Sam:
*I saw him grabbed the keys and was surprised by this as it was my car.
``you offered to drive for once, that is unbelievable from you Liam!" *laughs away as I put on my vans and grab the paperwork we signed before. I must admit I was feeling a bit nervous inside knowing everything will soon be new to me. Same time I was dead excited!
"Liam make sure you got the right keys!" *knowing he picked up the wrong keys as he always does!
I looked behind knowing soon that apartment will be mine and everything in there will belong to me as I will be coming home as a new man! I chuckled as I waiting to see Liam reaction when he has the wrong keys
Liam:
I was walking towards the car and soon realised that I had the wrong keys.
‘Oops I DID grab the wrong keys!”
I quickly drop them back down and proceeded to grab the right ones “every single time!” I mutted to myself. I laughed as I proceeded to check sam out and relish in the fact that soon i'll have his body!
S: I laughed loudly as Liam walked back towards the car after grabbing the right keys
L: ‘‘alright dude let's get out of here!” I started to walk out the door as sam follows, I turn back around to take in the apartment one last time, knowing I  would be back here soon but not as myself*
S: ‘‘I really hope I don't get that key habit of yours! I swear you do it on purpose sometimes just to check yourself in the mirror!" I looked at Liam and smiles nervously knowing that would be a bad habit to have!
"You looking abit nervous today Liam, what bothering you? I happy to talk stuff out first before we go in? I sure you got some questions going around in your mind?" I was holding Liam's hand to reassure him to be truthful. I looked deeply into his eyes waiting for a reply. . .
L: ah I don't really have any worries at all, I think I look nervous because it's just a very big decision, but I made my decision a long time ago didn't i!” looking at Sam in his eyes.
We both started to walk down the path to the car and we hopped in! I looked at Sam when he was strapping himself in.
“Alright let's do this! you excited?”
S: "Wait a minute Liam, you got something bothering you! I know that tone of voice when I hear it." *places my hand to stop you starting the engine up "Come on tell me Liam as I don't us to have any regrets now!"
S: "Is it because I am more on the twink build side of things? *lifts my top up to show you the secret I have been working on. You see Liam I have been building this six pack up for you, it's bloody tough but I am trying to make it easier for you! Remember you soon will be the smart one and be loaded up with my cash!"
L: “dude seriously i have no regrets or worries! it's gonna be so good! im so excited to do this! it's gonna be so fun!” *I pull ur hand off and start the car up* “do u know the address? I just realised I have no idea where im going” *I laugh*
“dude we’re seriously gonna be fine! im sure this experiment will go perfectly and we will live happily in our new bodies!”
S: "I hope you are 110% sure about this as I be so gutted if you did have doubts and I feel them as you!"
"Here give me a second!" *set up the sat nav on your phone. "Can you press your finger on it?" *waits for you to unlock it and I get it sorted for you
"You know I am excited about this swap as we have money to finally buy a bigger apartment and live an easier life! I wonder though what traits we will have as each other! I do not want that key trait of yours!!!" *chuckles away
L: *I grab the phone and unlock it and give it back
“dude this swap is going to be so fun! we’re gonna have a great life from now own! lets do this!”
S: "Fact we going to become each other will be so weird, just remember to take it easy Liam as you will be learning everything over again. No rushing into anything as we don't want to burn our brains!"
"Let's go Liam!"
L: “Alright!” *I start the car up and we start to drive to the labs* God this is going to be so good! I think to myself, ive always wanted to be sam and now it's HAPPENING!!!
S: "God I am going to be talking like an Aussie soon! That's going to be so bloody weird Liam!"
*laughs as I watch you drive!
"This makes a change of you driving for once Liam! You always try and bottle out of driving and get away with it!!"
*I can't actually believe we are on our way to the labs and soon will be living in each other's bodies. I am petrified at the thought of having Liam's little dumb moments but so damn excited about having his body and looks. He is so damn sexy!!!!
L: “well soon i'm gonna be you which means ill be driving way more! so i thought id get used to it now!” *I start to slow down and pull into the car park* *here it goes! in a couple more minutes, I am finally gonna be sam! we are going to swap lives!*
“alright sam, let's do this!”
*I smile at you as i get out of his, soon to be MY car*
S: "Let's go in and get this going Liam! In a few hours we are going to be with each other forever!" *feels a tent in my tight beige chino shorts
L: *I look down at my soon to be dick, smile, and place my hand on it* “someones a bit excited? shall I return the favour?”
Tumblr media
Sam and Liam walks into The Jacobs Labs which has been recently refurbished to meet the standard level you see in the cities.
S: *I hold your hand tightly as we walk through the entrance of this newly refurbished skyscraper. As we walked through we saw a large white room with the polished white floor tiles that you could slightly see your reflection. The reception room had a very small humming tune playing in the background.
"Really Liam, I swear your are dumb as fuck sometimes" *chuckles
"Fuck I might have that trait also" *looks at you and does a dumb face!
*we walk towards the receptionist and she greeted us.
L: * she seemed nice and started to talk us through the procedure, I started to feel my dick get hard again! God, I think to myself, I better leave that to sam when he wakes up as me! he’d love that’*
Receptionist stands as (R)
R: Good Morning Liam and Sam. We were expecting you a little later but as it's quiet shall we start by checking your paperwork from the pre-agreement and your passports as idenity and protection reasons?
S: *I talk first*
"Good morning Kelly, thanks for the warm welcome and here are the paperwork and our passports" *looks at Liam who has the folder with him
R: "That a strong British accent you got there Sam?" *she blushes when she says that
L: “oh right! yes i have those!” *I quickly reach down and grab the folder out of my bag* “here it is kelly!”  *I hand her the folder*
“I hope this is all u need!”
“sam and I are very excited for this experiment and hope that everything goes well”
R: "Hey Liam!!! You seem really excited today and must I say you looking really good today!" *checks everything over and makes a call. "Doctor Jacobs will be waiting for you two. Take this tablet as it will lead you through the building and give you access to the lifts. Oh please be careful and good luck with the protein experiment. I hope those powders will become a huge hit on you two!"
S: "Thanks for that Kelly, I hope the protein shakes will give me more muscles! Liam shall we proceed to meeting Doctor Jacobs?"
*looks at you and hope you don't mention about the swapping*
L: *I take the tablet from her hands and thank her* “haha SAM u have plenty of muscles!” “but yup let's go meet this doctor!”
*i look down at the tablet and start following its directions* “come on!”
S: "Liam you nearly slipped up buddy! I can't believe this is happening!" *smiles
*As I walked along, I could sense the excitement between us about this swapping experience or procedure. Same time I qas praying to God that nothing will happen. We was walking down a corridor and it was like the reception with it blossomed while tiles. I looked at Liam and smiled. "Not long left now Liam!"
*I knew that will cause Liam's cock to tent in his black sporty shorts*
*we were only steps away from reaching Dr Jacobs offices.*
L: “Dude this is gonna be so cool!” I say excitedly as I look at you. *I notice u looking down at my dick and I smile* “this will be yours in a second!” I say as I patted my dick
S: "Yeah I know Liam, it's going to be an interesting moment!" *grabs your cock and squeezes it*
"How much longer Liam" *looking at the tablet
L: *I look down at the tablet, stop walking and smile at you* “alright! here we are sam! lets do this!” *I grab the door handle and smile at you before pushing it open*
*I gesture for u to enter the roomfirst*
S: *Knocks on the door and Dr Jacobs welcomes us
Tumblr media
Doctor Jacobs stands as (DR)
DR: Ahhhh you both arrived! Pleased to meet you both! *offers his hand to Liam first
L: *I shake enthusiastically* “good to meet u too!*
DR: "So Liam you ready to become your best friend Sam here?"
*I shakes Sam's hand also*
S: "Nice to meet you Mr Jacobs and I think we are both ready to talk about the surgery and deal we have in place.
"I am nervous about the surgery as this is going to unknown to us both."
DR: "please both of you sit down so we can go over the formalities." *offers us two chairs at his desk
*we both go over and sit down in the chairs* L: “alright, so what's gonna happen here?” I ask as I hand over the tablet and our documents with our credentials
“how long will this take etc?”
DR: "The operation machinery is all ready to go and the surgery will take a few hours but you won't feel a thing. Our technology is that advanced that there will be no scarring at all but due to the nature of the stress of the transfer that this will be a one way transfer. If this all is successful you will have your money deposited and be allowed to live your new life, remember when you sign these paperwork nobody will ever know about this experiment.
DR: Here is three pieces of contracts you must sign each. *passes them to us
S: "Are you ready for this Liam?" *gives you the pen first*
L: “alright let's do this!” I say excitedly as i grab the pen from ur hands
*I quickly sign off the paper and pass it over to u*
“alright im all done and ready, what now?”
S: "Ohhh here it goes!" *signs the paperwork
DR: "Great please come with me to the two rooms!" *shows us two doors with our names on them but the rooms are connected to the main operation room
S: *Looks at Liam and hugs him tightly*
L: “alright Dr!” *I stand up out of the chair and walk over to my door*
S: "I hope to see you soon brother, if anything happens just remember that I am so thankful and loved every moment we had!"
*cuddles you more*
L: “dude stop we’ll totally be fine! don't even worry!” I say as I pat u on the back “this is gonna be totally fine! let's do this!”
S: "Let's do this!!!"
*opens my door to see a bed and a chair*
DR: please take off your clothes
L: “oh boy okay!”
While in the other room Sam just entered.
S: ‘’Knowing Liam he will just strip off and leave his clothes on the floor screwed up*
*I fold my clothes and possessions neatly
In the other room which DR Jacobs and Liam are in.
*I started to strip of my clothes, I pull of my red t-shirt, slipping down my black shorts, pull of my socks and shoes and throw them all to the corner of the room* “let's do this!” I say as I shake my hips teasingly
*goes onto my bed and lays down
Doctor Jacobs proceeds to the other room to see Sam waiting on the bed and deals with him first.
DR: breath this gas in slowly Sam *places the gas over my mouth and I fall asleep
Doctor Jacobs finishes the first part of the swap on Sam and he goes back to the other room to see Liam.
DR: "Liam please stop touching your penis and lay on the bed, Sam going to be so aroused by your typical Australian personality and traits"
L: *I sigh loudly and go lay down on the bed. the doctor comes over and puts the gas mask over my mouth as well. I fell asleep.
Sam and Liam have both fallen asleep now and we soon see what happens in Part 2 which is coming soon.

CONNECTED
~In this chapter, Erik & Maya decide to enjoy each other’s company by having lunch. We get a closer look into their budding relationship. I’m going to try a writing technique I haven’t done in a while. Inspired by the ‘Daniel Caesar Channel’ on Pandora so if you really wanna set the tone this will help.
Warning: Contains a little fluff and some smutty thoughts with innuendos.
Tumblr media
FOUR
ERIK
 It was the day. The day that I counted down to; lunch with a vision like Maya Symone. I stepped out the shower to prepare, washed my face and brushed my pearly whites. I wore my dreads slicked back with natural pomade and trimmed my beard with a pair of clippers; I was looking sharp as hell. I went into my bedroom to the closet to find something to wear; a plain white long-sleeved tee, acid wash jeans with come freshly polished combat boots I’ve since my navy days. I slipped on my beads, gold ankh chain and was on the way to pick up Maya in my used black 2008 Cadillac CTS. The night before, I got to talk to her for hours about anything. She was so chill, serene. She wasn’t like anything or anyone that I can imagine. Her voice was so chill and surreal that it seemed as if I met the woman of my dreams in the flesh.
 I finally pulled up to her apartment building and stepped out to stand by the passenger side so I can get the door for her like a real man should; I texted her to let her know that I was out. That is when I saw her. She had on a pair of jean shorts with a red sweatshirt and some black Chuck Taylors. Her hair was in a low style, topped with a bowl hat fedora and her glossed lips curved up. I walked slowly up on to the curve. “Hello, Miss Maya.”
MAYA SYMONE
    Erik stood there looking at me with a brow rose to his hairline. “Hello, Mr. Erik. You look nice.” Nice was an understatement. He was ripped, charming and can make any sista melt. When he smiled, I had to smirk. “Thank you. You look great. What did you have a taste for? Today is all about you.” Smooth sone of a bitch. “Well, how about sushi? I haven’t had it in a while.” He nodded and opened the door for me. Once I got in, he shut my door and made his way to his side. I couldn’t help but watch him. Just the swagger in his walk made him even more irresistible than the night we met. He stopped to let a car pass before letting in his car. He settled in, buckling his seatbelt, and turning his car on. 
  “Do you have a music preference?” I shook my head and he turned on the Daniel Ceasar radio through Bluetooth in his car; Lately by Russ played. I moved my head to the beat and he did the same when we pulled off. “So, Erik. What made you want to go to lunch so quick?” He only paid attention to the road. “Why you ask?” I kept it real. “Because men usually like to make women wait for weeks on in before wanting to see them. The only time they wanna see a woman this quick is when they want something.” Erik looked over at me and said “well, I’m not that type. I can’t speak for them but I know better. I just liked your company. I got a nice vibe from you, Maya.”
ERIK
  I looked back to the road leaving her speechless. She didn’t know a man like me would be straight forward. “So, Maya. Tell me about yourself. Are you actually from here?” She looked over at me and ahead. “I was born here but my folks were from Michigan. We moved around a lot since my dad was in the service but when he retired we all stayed here. What about you?”
“Me? Eh, I was born in Oakland. Pops was a...” I had to think. What can I say that wasn’t the truth but not a lie either. “My dad was a leader. He raised hope & awareness for our people. He was basically like a modern Black Panther.” Maya kept her eyes on me, like if she was trying to read me. “You said was. Is he not here anymore?” I kept my eyes on the road but shook my head and stayed quiet. Losing my dad was a very hard feeling. Something I can never get over. Hopping from one home to another, put a toll on me. Especially with not being able to contact my mother. I had no idea what had happen to her until I was sixteen. 
  “I lost my mother” was all I heard from my right. Maya looked straight ahead but still talked. “When I was fourteen, she was sick from cancer. Ovarian cancer to be exact. It was painful to see her like that. Just to see a woman like that hurt me a lot.” My eyes were still on the road as I tried to hold the tears back. “I’m sorry, Maya. Must’ve been hard.” My right arm was on the armrest, alone, Until I felt a set of fingers intertwine mine. “Me too, Erik. Me too.”
MAYA SYMONE
   We finally arrived at the sushi bar On Hollywood Blvd. We decided to sit outside on the stools to enjoy the sun and breeze. I sipped from my green tea lemonade when I noticed Erik peeking at me from his peripheral. “Yes, Mr. Stevens”, I asked and heard him chuckle. “Nothing. Just enjoying the view. So, when did you start writing?” He sipped from his cup when I replied. “Hmmm, I would have to say back in high school. It helped with the loss of my mom. My dad bought me a journal to write my emotions down and what not. I was awful at expressing myself ever since I was younger. He thought it would help.” I started to make circles in my drink with my straw as he watched. I looked over at him and asked: “wanna play a game?” 
“What kind of game?”
“Just a game so we can get to know each other more.” He raised his brow so I began to start. “First question, if you can go back in time and meet any historical figure, who would it be and why?” He tapped his fingers on the on oakwood table and said “easy, Huey P. Newton. Not only did he lead our people in a revolution but he also stood for us through anything.” I nodded and said “this might be a hard one but I actually would want to meet my great great grandmother on my dad’s side. She was a fully African woman from Kenya. Birthed over fifteen children, grandmother to eighteen and great grandmother to a lot. She was a sculptor who usually showed emotion through her work. My grandma has told me that her grandmother was known to be a crazy woman but to the family, she was just different.” I looked over at Erik and I saw was a smile. “Good answer. My turn?”
ERIK
  She bit her lip at me with a smile and I couldn’t help but look in her hazel eyes. “Kiss, Marry or Kill; Denzel, Idris or Me?” I leaned on my right hand and flashed a big old smile making her laugh. “C’ mon, Erik. That ain’t fair.”
“Why it ain’t?” She looked at me with a smirk and rolled her eyes. “Alright fine. Kill Denzel..” She looked at me with a lip bite and continue. “Kiss you and Marry Idris.” I covered my heart pretending to be hurt. “You wouldn’t marry me? Awe man that hurts me. Dang...” She wiped my pretend tear and said: “at least I didn’t say kill you instead.” I looked down at her and took her hand, caressing it with my thumb. “I guess so.” She looked at me and said, “my turn. What do you wanna do with yourself? Like you mentioned that you are the assistant to a teacher. Did you wanna do more that?” I looked over at her and was in deep thought. “To be honest, I never thought about it. Not sure what to do. When I came back overseas. I was just looking for something to help pay bills. But for as long as I’ve done it, I enjoy it. Maybe, I’ll teach.”
  The waiter finally came with our big buddha roll and steamed rice with sauce on the side. “I can actually see you as a teacher. Like the teacher that all the single moms want a conference with after school.” I bit into my roll and chuckled. “Maybe. Would you want a conference with me?”
MAYA SYMONE
  When he said that I looked over at him with a smirk on his face and little sauce on his lip. I got a napkin to wipe his mouth for him and couldn't help but look at his full lips. So delicious looking. I stared into his eyes as I still wiped his mouth. His eyes were an amazing chocolate shade and his lashes were long and full. The last time I was this close to a man, it changed me for who I am today. I placed the napkin down and grabbed another roll to place in my mouth. “You alright, Maya?” I was so deep in thought that he must’ve noticed. “I’m good” I smiled with a grin and he placed his hand my lower back as he kept eating. 
LATER THAT DAY
   We pulled up to my home afterward and he stood in front of me, leaning on the car. “Thank you for lunch. I enjoyed it.” He nodded and said “don’t mention it. It was nice to see you again. I was wondering what you were doing tomorrow night.” I held my hands in front of me and shook my head. “Wanna go for dinner? I know this French place downtown that just opened. Supposed to be nice. Want to join me?” 
   “Sure. What time do you wanna pick me?” He stood and walked over, towering me. “I met reservations for eight.” I looked up to him confused. When did you make those?”
“This morning.”
“What if I said no”, I folded my arms and he said “if you did say no then I would be in there all in my lonesome. You wouldn’t want that on your mind, would you?” Damn, he got me.  “Fine. You can ring u and I’ll let you tomorrow night so you won’t wait out here by your ‘lonesome.’“ He covered his mouth to laugh and said “Ok. Which number are you?”
“2F. When you get off the elevator, you are going to make right and I’ll be three doors down on your right.” He looked at me and got closer, caressing my cheek. “I would lie to Facetime tomorrow morning. Is that okay with you?” I nodded before he placed a kiss on my cheek while held his other hand. “I’ll be waiting, young man.” He let my hand go and made my way to my door. I waved back at him and he did the same before getting his ride and driving back. Once I got to my place, I soon got a text that read:
Good night, beautiful. Can’t wait to see you.
  I slipped out my shoes, jean shorts and hat, lied down and smile to myself looking up at my painting of sunflowers. Maybe he is different, I thought to myself before falling asleep.
Tumblr media

Ok, I have the next chapter finished. Just have to add gifs, pics and edit. It’ll be about Maya’s past and how she became the woman she is today. The chapter is more graphic and involves a lot of sexual situations so be prepared.

I had a good week. I mostly caught up with my smaller jobs queue, just pushing on work that had piled up.
Qt
Thank you for the continuing Qt bug reports. I fixed a variety of typo-broken buttons this week, mostly buried in less-used UI, and if you have set a browser launch path override in the options, hyperlinks across the program should obey that again. I also believe I fixed the annoying issue where media viewer hover windows that needed to shrink (because of switching to a new media that had fewer info lines or known urls) would linger too tall for one frame. EDIT: I'm still having slight hover window resize flicker in my IRL client when I keep my mouse over the top-right hover, I'll give it another go next week.
Furthermore, all non-menubar menus across the program now open on right-click release instead of press. This sounds trivial, but there was a mix of down/up click handling here, now unified, and some things like thumbnail and tag selection are handled more naturally in the initial click down. This also fixes an issue where users who had menu styles with no significant border were sometimes accidentally activating the first menu item on a slow click (the click down would show the menu, the click up would activate it).
Last week's support for styles and stylesheets for Qt seems to have gone well. There is more to do here, but this week brings better error handling for unusual situations, better 'we already have this set, no need to waste CPU re-applying it' detection, and fewer hacky colour overrides, so custom stylesheets should be able to colour regular panels without lots of unintended grey or white boxes.
the rest
The shortcut system should now be able to support any text key. This includes extended characters like ø or Ì. If you need to apply a modifier to get these keys (e.g. ctrl+alt+e), these modifiers are likely to show up spuriously in the shortcut's label (e.g. ctrl+alt+Ì), but everything should nonetheless line up in the program correctly. Let me know if you discover any new bugs here!
There are also some new shortcut commands this week, for the 'media viewer' set. They are 'pan_top/bottom/left/right_edge' and 'pan_horizonal/vertical_center'. They move the whole image around to edges, or center it again, and should be helpful if you often look at tall or wide comics at 100% zoom. There will be more to come here in coming weeks.
The work on making the UI smoother is also continuing. Session saving and a variety of 'media refresh' events that occur on file import or maintenance are now significantly faster and do the bulk of that work in the background. Users with very large sessions should experience less juddery behaviour during both idle and heavy work periods.
full list
qt:
all non-menubar menus across the program now launch on click release. some previously launched on click press. a variety of related click event behaviour is cleaned up, particularly with thumbnail/tag selection on the click down. this also fixes some users' menus immediately activating the first entry on slow clicks in some ui styles
I think I fixed the annoying single-frame delayed size-down resize on media viewer hover frames when changing media!
the vast majority of old wx panel background colour hacks are removed, so custom stylesheets should now cover much more of the UI
improved the new custom style and stylesheet setting, resetting, and error handling code, particularly for not re-applying the same style or stylesheet twice, and for handling un-re-settable styles (seems to be defaults initialised by third-party OS-wide Qt style) gracefully
fixed hyperlinks not using the custom web browser launch path as set in the options
fixed the 'migrate entire db' and 'set thumb location' buttons in the migrate database dialog
fixed a typo bug when launching the url selection tree after adding an ipfs directory to download
fixed two typo bugs when editing regex favourites and simple downloader formulae
fixed an issue where custom shortcut sets could not be deleted
fixed a typo in the edit account type panel
fixed sorting the login listctrl when there are session logins mixed with non-session logins
removed some old media viewer hover window display/raise hacks
retired the 'always show hover windows' debug mode
the media viewer will no longer perform any drag calculations on anything but left-click drag
misc Qt code refactoring/cleanup
.
url searching:
the database now stores 'known url' domain information more efficiently. it will take a few moments/minutes to reshape the db when updating
system:known url's exact url search now runs extremely fast. this will only affect new predicates of this type, not those in existing sessions
system:known url's domain search now runs much faster and matches subdomains of the given domain. this will only affect new predicates of this type, not those in existing sessions
system:known url's url class search now runs much faster. this will only affect new predicates of this type, not those in existing sessions
when entering a regex system:known url predicate, the dialog will now not OK (throwing up an error dialog) if the regex is invalid
.
the rest:
the shortcut system now allows all text characters. if it has text, it should work, but it is the wild west in terms of modifier labelling. anything unusual on your keyboard like ctrl+alt+e to make ĂŚ will _display_ as ctrl+alt+ĂŚ, but the same key combination will match up in the program all correct
added shortcut actions 'pan_top_edge', 'pan_bottom_edge', 'pan_left_edge', 'pan_right_edge' to the media viewer shortcut set that will move the current image so the respective edge is aligned with the larger canvas's
added shortcut actions 'pan_horizontal_center' and 'pan_vertical_center' to do as above but center on that axis
session save now hangs the UI significantly less, whether triggered by user command or auto-saving 'last session'
saving of last/exit sessions on client close is a little faster
the call to refresh thumbnail file info (and redraw if needed) when a file is imported or has metadata-regenererating file maintenance done will now only call for files that are actually loaded, run faster per file, run faster when the client has large collections in its session, and not hang the ui thread when waiting for the new media info to arrive
like regular popups, modal popups (like those created when big vacuum/analyze jobs jump in) will now only appear if the main gui or an on-parent child has OS focus
the main gui/on-parent child OS focus test now includes misc child windows like the autocomplete results hover window
network jobs that fail for one reason or another will now be more reliably cleaned up, and their connections returned to the connection pool. this may fix the 'too many open file handles' errors some users were seeing after long term unreliable network traffic
fixed an issue where some thumbnails that were trashed or physically deleted were being removed from 'all known files' and file repository views when it was not appropriate
connection and downloader retry time options now have a wider min/max range when in advanced mode, with an accompanying warning label for the connection panel
checker options times now have a wider min/max range when in advanced mode, with an accompanying warning label
cleaned up some shutdown reporting text
misc debug improvements
next week
The holidays are coming up. As 379 would normally be due on Christmas Day, I will postpone that to New Year, which means next week's 378, on the 18th, will be the last release of the year. I am due for a 'cleanup' week, which will also make for a nice 'safe' release before the break. So I will clean up code, do some more Qt neatening, and otherwise catch up on smaller jobs like I did this week.
I never strictly marked down the day when I started working on hydrus, but December 14th, 2011, the date of the first non-experimental beta, has emerged as a decent birthday. This week marks eight years. It has been a lot of work and a lot of fun. There are a couple thousand things I would still like to do, so if I can, I would like to keep going as I have into the 2020s. I deeply appreciate all the feedback, help, and support over the years. Thank you!

Loki x Reader - Oneshot - If Only [SMUT]
Ok guys, finally I’ve finished this (been editing it for hours now!) I’ve based this on a request by the lovely @spider-piggyxo  (who I can’t tag for some reason). But I’ve also added a little twist of my own because I’m a cruel creature. :P ;)
Request: Hey! So I saw you take request. Could you write a one shot between Loki x female reader where the reader is crying Because she and her partner split up so loki comforts her and admits that he’s in love with her and they end up having kinky sex where he makes her beg for it then it ends in cute cuddles and fluff? If you write this please tag me!(: Thanks! 
Hope you enjoy it! Only the third smut I’ve done, so I’m still leaning, but I hope its not too terrible!
WARNING: Smut! Duh! Please don’t read if your under-aged!
MAIN MASTERLIST
Loki stared coldly out at the city beyond the balcony’s glass railing, his arms crossed behind his back as he surveyed the rooftops and rushing car lights.
It seemed an understatement to say that he truly loathed this planet.
Besides being held here against his will by his own brother as a punishment, the almost barbaric world with its similarly uncivilised occupants, offered little to Loki in the way of interest or entertainment except for one thing in particular. One thing that he wanted – that he needed – and was then forced to watch as it was taken away from him.
The skin over Loki’s knuckles stretched even paler than usual as his hands gripped one another in aggravated frustration. He was snapped out of his thoughts when he heard the door closing in the room behind him, his jaw also clenching in annoyance now at the thought of an unwanted interruption to his own self-pitying. He feared it would be his brother seeking him, out of the apparent goodness of his heart, in an attempt to engage him in some form of small talk-like interaction before he would finally broach the subject of Loki’s foul mood.
Loki, however, had no intention of confiding anything to his brother, especially not in matters of his feelings or frustrations of the heart. He would gain nothing from it, he was certain, and would never hear the end of it from his irksome brother.
Yet that was what was troubling him, his damn heart was overpowering his head, and as a man of brains and logic, it was very disturbing.
As a smart man, it should be clear to him that [Y/N] [L/N] was a Midgardian, not an Asgardian, and, due to that alone, she was not a suitable partner for him. It should be clear to him that he had berated Thor for a similar attachment of the emotions to a human only a few years earlier. It should be clear to him that love – if it could be argued to exist – was a weakness and something he – Loki - could not afford.
And it should be clear to him that, even if all that didn’t matter, [Y/N] [L/N] was already taken – that her soft skin, her shy blushes, her flirtatious smirks, her gentles touches and witty, teasing comments… They would never be his…
“Loki?” As if thinking your name had somehow summoned you, Loki now dropped his hands in surprise, turning slowly to find you now stood in the doorway to the balcony, watching him with a confused, concerned frown. You sniffed, “What are you – why are you still out here?”
“What time is it?” He asked instead of answering your question.
“It’s uh –“ You glanced down at your watch, though barely - as though it was just a habit and you in fact already knew what the time was, “it’s only nine,” You admitted, lifting your head again, “but I – uh – I thought you’d have already retired to your books by now.” You confessed, stepping out onto the balcony, the cold breeze immediately whipping across the ledge and pulling at your hair and the looser parts of your dress.
You looked even more beautiful than usual, Loki couldn’t help noticing, your hair styled for once rather than its usual, more practical look and your makeup somehow enhancing the flecks of colour in your eyes, drawing his gaze, and he noticed how they seemed red and maybe slightly puffy.
Like you’d been crying.
You wrapped your arms around your chest now against the chill in the air, ducking your head and glancing away as though in an attempt to shield your face from Loki’s scrutinising, but you couldn’t help the necessity to sniff again, unfolding one of your cold hands to quickly brush at your cheek.
“You are back early…” Loki observed carefully, watching you intently.
You cleared your throat. “I – I saw no reason to hang around.” You confessed thickly. It was clear you were still attempting to try and maintain some form of dignity in front of Loki but failing when your own tears now quickly overwhelm you.
You screwed her eyes closed in an attempt to stop them, turning away fully now, but a few managed to escape from the corner of your eyes and soon you couldn’t help it any longer, giving up and allowing the rest to tumble down your cheeks unhindered.
Immediately Loki was in front of you again, his hands grabbing your upper arms to stop you turning away from him, though you refused to look at him as his eyes flickered over your face and body, conducting a survey of damage as he held you at arm’s length. “Tell me what happened.” He demanded urgently, his voice almost a growl.
You silently shook your head as the tears continued to run from your eyes. “It’s over.” You finally managed, fighting against your own sobs. “I – I – I wasn’t,” You choked out, still shaking your head incessantly, “I wasn’t enough…” You mumbled, then suddenly seemed to sag forward, dropping your head against Loki’s chest, much to his surprise, ignoring his attempt to keep you at a safe distance from him. He blinked in astonishment for a moment, feeling your strength crumbling beneath his grip, before he finally released your arms, allowing you to now fall completely against him. He let his arms wrap around you now instead, holding you against him as you sobbed nosily into his loose shirt.  
“[Y/N],” He murmured down to you, his lips skimming your hair lightly, “I assure you, you are far more than enough.” He promised, breathing you in. “And I am sorry this has happened.”
“S’not your fault.” You dismissed thickly into his chest, then suddenly seemed to remember yourself, pulling away and keeping you head down to hide your puffy eyes, wiping quickly and rather ineffectively at your cheeks and nose. “I – I ‘m sorry, I – uh - I didn’t mean to - “ You mumbled embarrassedly, gesturing vaguely at yourself then at Loki and the darkened patch on his shirt where the material was saturated with your tears. “I – I really didn’t think anyone would still be up here,” You croaked in explanation, “– J-Jarvis said everyone had gone out…”
“Yes, well, I’m hardly classed as ‘everyone’…” Loki observed bitterly.
You frowned at this, seeming to forget your own distress for a brief moment. “That’s not fair and they all know it!” You protested with a scowl, I – I’ll speak with Stark.” You growled, squaring your shoulders, as though you were about to march up to him right now, forgetting your red eyes and smeared makeup.
“As the technology told you, the metal man is currently out for the night.” Loki reminded you with an amused twist of his lips. “My concern is not, and never has been, on being included in my brother’s friendship groups.” He muttered, “Right now, I am more concerned about you - you are not hurt, are you?” He frowned, his eyes roaming over you again.
“No, of course not.” You scowled weakly, batting your hand in the air to stop his scan of you. “You know he wasn’t like that, Loki.” You reprimanded lightly with a scowl.
“One can never be too careful…” He muttered in defence - he never wanted you hurt, but he wouldn’t have minded an excuse to pay the kid a visit.
Not that he really needed an excuse.
“Look can we not – can we just not talk about it?” You now asked desperately. “I just - I just think I need to sit down and take my mind off it.”
Loki nodded at this. “A drink?” He offered as he now placed a light hand on your back to steer around.
“Sounds perfect.” You nodded with a sniff, letting him lead you back inside.
Loki headed to the bar on the other side of the room, pouring two glasses of Stark’s premium collection, before then moving to where you had fallen onto one of the sofas. You thanked him as he handed you a glass, then he went to take a nearby armchair. “Wait.” Loki faltered, glancing back at you with a raised eyebrow, making you turn slightly red, “Look, you – uh – you have every right to tell me to shove off an all, but… I – uh – I could really use with someone right now and – well you’re the only one here…” You admitted with a shrug and Loki raised his eyebrow even further at this particular compliment - though you didn’t see, your head down as you mumbled - “And, if I’m completely honest, you’re also the only person I want right now…”
Loki’s eyebrow dropped in surprise at this and you kept your head down, thoroughly embarrassed by your confession. “I – I just – I mean – I – could you – could you just sit with me?” You stuttered, gesturing at the cushion next to you.
Loki hesitated at the request. He had been trying to avoid being alone with you for as long as he could remember now – ever since he’d found out about him. When he couldn’t – or shouldn’t – do anything. But now you weren’t.
It still struck him as a bad idea – you were in a vulnerable place right now and he knew he’d had a list of reasons, other than you being with another man, to not involve himself with you... But in that moment, none of them seemed the slightest bit important.
Loki kept his face impassive as he now sat down beside you, even though he could already feel the warmth radiating off your skin and the scent of you still clinging tortuously to his clothes. He was painfully aware of how temptingly close you were again now, and ensured he kept himself to the very edge of the sofa, sat too upright and every muscle tense.
“Look, I – uh – I know you like your personal space…” You now muttered awkwardly, mistaking his discomfort, “But I –“ You stopped, chewing your lip anxiously, clearly unsure how to broach the question and shifting uncomfortably in your seat.
“Not when you are concerned.” Loki assured you quietly, noticing your struggles and already catching sight of the fresh wave of tears welling in your eyes. “I would consider it no less than my duty.” Loki murmured gently, and you glanced up in surprise before giving him a weak, almost strangled smile, the pain that flashed in your eyes placing a similar constriction on his heart.
Had he said something wrong?
You nodded soberly at this, but nevertheless shuffled closer, gently leaning into Loki until you laid against his chest again. Loki hesitated for a moment, but then cautiously laid an arm around you. “I am sorry,” You mumbled into him.
“There is no apology necessary.” Loki stated indifferently, “You have been hurt - I am only too aware that physical pain is often preferential to mental pain – especially when the heart is involved.”
You lifted your head slightly, “You’ve felt like this before?” You sniffed in surprise.
Loki wanted to deny it but couldn’t see the point. “Yes.” He said with a single small nod.
“A-And you got through it? How?” You croaked desperately.
“I haven’t...” Loki confessed honestly. “Not really.” He glanced away from you, “I do not believe a heart can mend,” He explained, “much like any other anatomical tissue, the new is always weaker than before and there is nearly always the scar of the memory…” He murmured quietly.
“That’s… almost beautiful.” You mumbled, having been staring up at him as he spoke. “Can you tell me about her?” You asked, and Loki glanced down at her in surprise at the request. “You don’t have to,” You backtracked quickly, “…if it still hurts.”
“No, I – I am capable.” He assured you, glancing away again and pausing in thought for a moment before he spoke again. “She was – is –“ He corrected, “beautiful. She can see through my illusions and never backs down at the cruel remarks that I never mean…” He mumbled. “She calls me out when I become detached and uncaring… Can pull the real me back... She fascinates me and no care for traditions or reasonable thoughts can stop me loving her…” He turned back to you now where you had lowered yourself back onto his chest as you’d listened, your eyes on your hand that you’d rested on his waist. “But then she fell in love with someone else.” He murmured down at you.
“Did you know if she loved you, though?” You asked quietly below him, and he thought he heard your voice crack slightly. You were intelligent – another reason to love you – and you must have suspected something. “I don’t know.” Loki admitted truthfully. You pulled back once more to finally look Loki in face again. You were so close he could smell the alcohol on your breath. “But I had hope.” He confessed. “I always have hope.” He murmured, his eyes flickering between your eyes and your slightly parted lips.
Then suddenly you had lunged forward and captured his lips, closing your eyes as you poured your passion and desire into it. It took Loki by surprise for only a moment before he was eagerly returning the kiss he had been starving for, your hand’s coming up to cup his cheeks as Loki pulled you in closer with the arm around you, his other hand going to your hip.
He pulled back briefly, both of you already gasping for air. “Don’t tease me,” He growled dangerously at you, “Because I won’t stop.” He warned.
“I’m not.” You gasped, “I want it.” You insisted, “I want you.” Loki growled in response to this, now pulling you up and over him so you straddled his lap, then tugged you back down to him almost desperately.
Both your hands went back to his face again now, holding him against your lips even though he could think of nothing that would have made him pull away. Content that Loki wasn’t about to break the kiss again, you allowed your fingers to slide up until they entangled in his hair, Loki’s own hands stroking down your back slowly till they found your ass. You moaned into his mouth, rocking forward against him and Loki could feel the bulge in his pants reacting to this pressure alone.
He growled at your teasing, squeezing his grip on your cheeks till you squeaked and giggled against his lips. “Don’t make promises you can’t keep, my love.” He muttered against you.
You pulled back, a devilish twinkle in your eyes as you knelt above him, cupping his cheek with one hand again and tipping his head back. “Oh, I fully intend to make good on it.” You grinned before kissing him hungrily once more. Loki wasn’t letting you take the control though, breaking the kiss again and taking advantage of your heightened position to kiss and nip your throat and collarbone making you moan and bite your lip again, your hands slipping to his shoulders where they gripped tightly in an attempt to keep yourself upright.
Loki grinned against your skin, moving one hand to the small of your back before turning and pushing you back onto the sofa so you were laid out before him. You grinned up at him eagerly from the cushions and Loki knew he probably should have paused then and considered that this was all a big mistake, that you were feeling sad and lonely and were making a rash, reckless decision…
But in that moment, he really didn’t care – he was getting what he had been craving for so long and he’d never hurt you – he loved you and perhaps you loved him.
Or could.
His decision seemed made for him when you now wrapped your arms around his back, pulling him down on top of you. Loki grinned, planting his hands either side of your head as he leant down to your lips again.
Your hands slipped round his side, feeling his muscles tense under your strokes, before your fingers trailed down his stomach the front of his trousers.
He growled against you again, “So eager, aren’t we?” He asked as he pulled back, catching your hands. You whined eagerly, and Loki smirked dangerously at how excited you already were. “Maybe you need to learn some patience…” He teased, slowly moving your arms up and over your head as he leant in close to your face, his breath brushing distractingly against your mouth.
You parted your lips to breathe him in, the scent going straight to your head and you closed your eyes at the bliss, wanting more. “Please.” You whimpered.
“Not yet, my love.” He growled casting a simple locking charm to keep your hands in place above you before slipping down your body, his hands gripping the edge of your dress and easing it up your thighs. You struggled weakly with your restraints, helping him shimmy the material up your body, somehow managing to pass the sleeves over your hands though they remained locked in place by the invisible restraints.
Before you could truly comprehend you were now left only in your underwear, Loki had tossed the dress away and grabbed your ankles, pulling you now to the edge of the sofa and kneeling before you. He bowed to your ankle, placing a feather-light kiss on the sensitive skin, chilling his breath as he blew along the skin of your legs, crawling back up your body. You squirmed under the sensation, moans muffled as she bit down hard in the inside of your lip.
Loki paused at the top of your thighs, so you opened your eyes in confusion, glancing down your body at where he had paused, your eyes locking with his heated gaze. Without looking away, Loki lowered his face to where only your panties remained, blowing cold air on the damp material that covered your heat.
You couldn’t help it, unable to hold back the moan this time, tilting your head back, knowing it was only a tease of what was to come - of what you so desperately wanted. “Loki.” You panted, pushing your hips towards him, though he simply pulled away slightly, denying you his mouth on the area. “Stop.” You managed to hiss through her teeth
“What is exactly that you’d like me to stop…?” Loki asked innocently, his eyes sparking with mischief.
“Stop teasing.” You groaned, still bucking your hips pointlessly. “Please.”
Loki grinned, leaning down to bite the rim of your panties, slowly peeling them down your legs and you couldn’t help squirming where he teeth grazed your skin. Before you knew it, your underwear was gone, and you were exposed to the cold air and Loki’s gaze.
You instinctively went to close your legs, but Loki’s strong hands were already in place, easily holding them open. “I have only dreamt of this sight…” He purred, “Of this taste…” He almost growled, as he lowered himself down. You gasped as his lips met you, your head jerking back and your thighs would have clenched if they could.
Loki was thorough, sucking, rubbing and teasing you, your sweetness better than he had imagined and practically intoxicating. Coupled with your moans it was enough to make him to go painfully hard.
Despite this, he continued his slow torment on you till you were a writhing mess beneath him before he then pulled back, slipping up your body to combine the taste of you with your lips. You groaned at the loss of contact, but welcome his lips again, desperately fighting your restraints above you, wanting to touch him. “Loki – please.” You protested distractedly.
“I am going to remove every scent, every touch, every thought of him.” He promised with a dangerous growl, his hands slipping beneath you to release the clasp of your bra.
“Do it. Please.” You begged, arching your back do he could pull your last piece of underwear off. It took barely any time for him to lose his own clothes, seeming unable – or unwilling – to release your for even a moment before his hands and lips were greedily back on you again.
He turned his attention you your chest now, kneading one breast as he kissed the underside of the other. “As much as I want to spend hours loving every part of your body my dear,” He murmured against the sensitive skin between your breasts, “I cannot stand this much longer.” He confessed, and you watched thoroughly barely opened eyes as he now moved to position himself at your entrance.
You felt him brush against you. “Oh my god.” You moaned, and Loki knew your helpless was killing you just as much as you were loving it.
“Yes.” He gasped, “I am your god,” He growled, unable to wait any longer, “And I am going to prove it…” Without warning he thrust into you. He had wanted to take it low and savour it, but he couldn’t. Not now when he needed you so badly.
You cried out as he forced his way into you, the sensation of you tightening around him enough to make his mind go completely blank for a moment and the spell binding your hand’s failed, freeing you. At first you didn’t realise though, your face screwed up in pain at the size of Loki and the stretch of your walls at his intrusion. Loki faltered slightly, worried he’d gone too far but the minute he stopped, you whined desperately, unable to find words, instead dropping your head back, eyes closed, and frantically grabbing at his back trying to get him to move again. “Loki.” You hissed, and that beg was all he needed.
You clung to him desperately as he thrust unto you again, the pain on your face soon ebbing away to pleasure. You kept your eyes closed as the bliss built within him, and Loki’s hands went to your hips now, pulling you into each of his thrusts before he lifted one of your legs to hook around his waist. You soon followed suit with your other leg, the new angle allowing Loki to plunge deeper inside you. You cried his name out as you clung to him, rocking with his motions, your nails digging into his back as he felt his crescendo building.
You slipped your hands up to his hair again now, yanking his head down in a mixture of pain and pleasure as you captured his mouth one more. The kiss didn’t last long before you both broke away again, gasping for air and leaning your foreheads against each other, gazes locked as Loki continued to pound into you, watching every flicker of pleasure across your features.
You bit down hard on your lip, closing your eyes and he could tell you were as close as he was. “I can’t –“ You managed to gasp out, letting out a silent moan.
“Then don’t.” He growled, capturing your lips one last time as he then felt your entire body tense around him as you came, causing him to do the same, crying out your name in ecstasy.
 Loki woke in bed the next morning, not entirely sure he could remember how he had got there from the sofa. He turned his head to the side to see you curled up in a foetal position next to him, your hand under your cheek and watching his confused expression with your beautiful eyes and an amused smile.
He reached out a hand to stroke your cheek as you, in turn, reached for him.
But he never felt your touch, and his own hand passed straight through your cheek in a glimmer of gold.
Loki felt his heart drop and crack at the same time. His illusions lacked any density without his dreams and your whole image now wavered in front of him. You continued to smile that - almost cruel now – smirk as you flickered and faded before Loki’s eyes, soon leaving him completely alone in the bed with nothing but a damp patch next to him and the heavy aching heart that came with reality.

The Mood: Blog #7 “What even is mainstream...even??”
started like 3 weeks ago...     Is taste in music really subjective? Or is it perspective? Obviously there's a common formula to pop (which is short for popular) that makes a song more digestible to the general public- more commercial (Intro, verse, chorus, re-intro tease maybe, verse2, chorus2, bridge, Chorus3 with a little re-intro maybe). A simple hook and dancy beat never hurt, either. Then of course there's the performance and production. I'd argue that a lot of a song's approval/success has to do with the mix of the song (but for most, that's more subconscious). 
I'd say at least 90% of us are really looking at lyrics as the main check-box; are they relatable/do they flow? Then, with all those key elements in mind (and some others, depending on the goal) the authenticity of it all. From the structure to the lyrics to the performance(s) to the production to the mix/master; do they all compliment each other in a friendly and/or interesting way?
     So with all that in mind, there are some things that are subjective: Relatable - that depends on the demographic/individual. But some lyrics are literally relatable to everyone. 
Performance ?? - Sure, everyone knows a good singer/drummer/guitarist when they hear one. But taste is the real subjective factor. Does the player's ability get out of hand and distract from the authenticity of the song? Technicality and raw emotion have heavy hands but sometimes less is more. "Music is not a sport," but to some shredders, it is! (Part of what makes Blink 182 so powerful is Travis Barker's ability to blow your mind with a fill rolling into that big finale... I can already hear the haters "Overrated! Overrated!") On the other hand, sometimes Bono being passionately flat is what gives U2 their cool factor.
Authentic - Like relatable lyrics, that mostly involves the individual's history. What has the artist/listener's ears been brought up with? What sounds/methods have been retired and what is trending? (Maybe a dancy trap beat wasn't prescribed in the original Alicia Keys' version but definitely authentic in the Jay-Z remix.)
Lyric Party:
"Concrete Jungle where dreams are made of" - Alicia Keys 
Cool - what even is cool? If you follow the pop formula/structure are you no longer cool? If you have a low-fi mix/master, are you automatically cool? That's all subjective but trends definitely play a big roll. And these days; what even is mainstream?
    I'd say Nickelback is mainstream. However, a lot of people hate Nickelback simply because it's cool to hate Nickelback. Nickelback is not my cup of tea, but they definitely cover all those bases in my opening paragraph pretty well. They've mastered being commercial and there's a few Nickleback choruses that I can probably sing word-for-word. It's just odd to me when bands that sound like Nickelback hate Nickelback. That's like when bands that sounded like Blink 182 hated Blink 182. I will go on to argue that these commercial bands didn't necessarily sell out, they just got better (to the general public). So don't hate! Especially if you're hating for your own pride. Like what you like. Leave pretension to the hipsters.
    I guess the main thing that inspired me to write this was from playing my very first sold out show in Columbus, OH at A&R bar. Obviously, I had very little to do with the 200+ people crammed into this awesome venue. I opened the show for 30 minutes and maybe 35 of the 150 people in the room (at 7:30) were there to see me. The other bands sold out of all their tickets and brought the big awesome crowd. The band that played after me pulled out a Nickelback cover; "Animals". Lyric Video Party!!!
youtube
   I genuinely thought they were joking at first! Then they played through the whole thing and everyone was singing along. I was slightly confused. Here I was as part of the first sold out show of my life, in the most thriving music scene in North America, and everyone was getting down to some Nickelback...
    It got me thinking. Maybe it isn't so much that Nickelback isn't cool, maybe ROCK MUSIC in general is no longer cool - everywhere but Columbus, OH!!! Nickelback is the biggest rock band of our time and it is cool to hate them. What is cool then? Nicki Minaj?? Lane Del Re?? Steve Aoki?? Game of Thrones?? I'm sorry Nickelback haters but if I had to choose a night of Game of Thrones or a Nickelback concert you might just catch me sticking a foot above a stadium crowd singing along to "How you Remind Me".
LYRIC PARTY: "Look at this Photograph!!" - Nickelback
    I've been to a Nickelback show and it was awesome! Bryan's actual cousin, Daniel Adair, is their current drummer and we went back in 2011 or something. It was an awesome show! I'd go again!
   Then it got me thinking back to perception. Is Nickelback just not my cup of tea because of the subjective ingredients (lyrics, performance, vocal/tone style, commercial structure)? Probably. I do like how polished their production is. Maybe people check out my music and think the same thing so they don't bother to come see it live. Then when they accidentally see my live show they're giving me the ol' "I'm not generally into that genre of music but I loved your set! Keep it up!" 
LYRIC PARTY:"THIS IS HOW! YOU REMIND ME OF WHAT I REALLY AM!" - Relatable Nickelback lyrics :o
   Anyway, there's another blog that mentions Nickelback a bunch... Guess I'm just really a closet Nickelback fan! Chad Kroeger, sign my band!
I haven't had much time to write this week with the tour being so busy. The inbox and calendar are owning my life almost more than my excessive gear. 
That that sold out show at A&R was awesome. I wish I could play for that many people every night. I did lights for Black Coffee's set, too. I learned their new album/setlist on my long drives. It's pretty solid. Check it out here: 
BLACK COFFEE's NEW ALBUM
    I congratulated them and told them I enjoyed my many many listen-throughs and Ehab said something along the lines of "Thanks! I know, it's not really with the contemporary/mainstream"...So that too kind of inspired this blog. So you can thank Ehab, Nickelback (they're totally not Nickelback-y, more like if Led Zeplin had a kid with The Darkness...)
How good is this by the way: VIDEO PARTY:
youtube
....if you’re into that go buy Black Coffee’s new record.
Then I drove home Sunday and had a week of booking and video editing while watching my Maple Leafs get my hopes up once again. Next season will be better! So will my next blog!!!

TØP Weekly Update #26: I Saw a Concert This Week, and I Don’t Even Know If That’s the Most Exciting Thing (2/19/16)
Tumblr media
Basically, just read the title, we’ve got too much stuff to cover this week, let’s goooooooooo!
This Week’s TØPics:
Grammy Win: Yes, It’s a Week Old, But Let’s Just Reminisce, Shall We?
New Video Series: Who Are the Sleepers? (oof, that might be the most click-bait thing i’ve ever written, someone remind me to edit that ou- you, hush, you’re not supposed to be reading my notes)
Interview Recaps: Blurryface Returning For Future Projects?
Upcoming Shows: Southwest to Southeast in One Week
Major News and Announcements:
Tumblr media
Obviously, the biggest news since the last time I posted a full update is from the Grammys: they fricking won one, and they did it pantsless. Everyone and their Mom knows: I even did a Mini-Update because I knew I couldn’t go seven days without acknowledging it, so I won’t go too far in-depth. But, suffice to say, they slayed, rubbing elbows with entertainment elites, being imitated by James Cordon, getting the attention of everyone from Gordon Ramsay to the Rock on Twitter, bowing to Celine Dion, killing it on the red carpet with their plus-ones (Josh brought Jenna, his mom, and his sister, while Josh brought his brother Jordan- all, frankly, looked right at home among Hollywood’s most beautiful.
The only other main “news” story (if you could call it that) is that Mark has started releasing another tour diary video series. The soon-to-be five-part series comes with a unique title, “Sleepers”, and the first one is mainly edited around the song included in the title of the video, “We Don’t Believe What’s On TV”, including a soundcheck acoustic performance of the track. Does that mean that “Sleepers” refers to “sleeper hits” and that every episode will feature a performance of a Blurryface song that never got to be a radio hit? Does the title have something to do with “Oh Ms. Believer”? Is it a hint at the next album? Will I ever get a life? The world may never know.
Anywho, the important thing is that this honestly might be the best video Mark’s ever shot- it’s edited so, so dang well. Plus, it features a lot of Josh, which is always a great thing: his interviews here contain him confessing that their last break was driving him crazy (hopefully a good sign that they’ll try to make the next one short), wandering the streets of Newark at night and talking to folks out of a desire to see more than just a lot of dressing rooms during his touring experience, and him and Tyler recreating one of the band’s most iconic Vines on a treadmill (#TruFans will know).
Performances, Interviews, and Other Shenanigans:
Tumblr media
Holy crap, I can’t believe I complained about too few interviews last week. *deep breath* OK. Let’s go.
First, I need to acknowledge that I went to their second show in Anaheim. While the first show apparently had some problems involving screwed up communication between early campers and venue security, things seemed to have all fallen into place, save for the minor hitch of Tyler having a bit of a cold that added a bit of extra nasal to his speaking voice and, as he humorously noted on stage, caused him to sneeze on-stage for the first time in their career. That wasn’t the only nifty thing from a show this week- as pictured above, Tyler gave Josh a Valentine’s Day rose in Fresno, and the first Anaheim show was attended by Kate Hudson (who praised the band on Ellen, #TOPonEllen) Muse frontman Matt Bellamy, and their young children, as well as (if Twitter is to be believed) Gerard Way himself.
The first Anaheim show was preceded by an awesome acoustic set for an L.A. radio station (I’ve missed those, wish they did more). Highlights include:
An acoustic remix/mashup of “Ride” with the “House of Gold” (and “Somewhere Over the Rainbow”) instrumentation that’s just too good for words.
Tyler trying to get a kid in the audience to sing parts of “Stressed Out” and oh my God he’s such a freaking dad.
When asked, Tyler confirms that the break between album cycles will be longer than previous ones- he says that he can’t write without singing his lyrics, and that means he can’t write much when he has to be careful about maintaining his voice on their almost-daily touring schedule. He also says that he enjoyed getting to be an actual person during the last break, from doing stuff around the house like fixing the toilet and changing the oil to just being able to drive himself around and remember “Oh yeah, you can turn right on red”. That said, he doesn’t really want to take too long off, especially when he knows what its like when artists he enjoys take off years at a time. He also trolls the audience at one point, asking “What do you guys want to hear? Cool, new album.” (Oof, this is torture.)
He talks a bit about the Grammys, namely getting texts from everyone he’s ever known (including his mom’s neighbor), probably stealing his speech from a Disney movie, and it being cold.
On collaborations like with Mutemath, Tyler emphasizes that he knows that people can tell when they are done just for the sake of marketing, and he firmly believes that collaborative art should come from a place of friendship (more on that later, although my conspirical (sic) brain has to note that it sure sounds like Tyler might have done more than just the Mutemath collab... I’m still watching you, labelmates).
Beyond that, there were also a bunch of other interviews that surfaced this week. The huge profile of the Grammy win earned them a couple of news spotlights, one from a Grammy after party where Jenna gets to answer a question or two, another from the local Columbus station going over the bands’ history in the town that’s just too cute for words. As far as interviews, highlights include:
SiriusXM, New York (Fan Submitted Questions):
They’re lurking on Twitter, watching those “buggers” that are making fun of them. Thankfully, that means we’re safe on Tumblr.
Being a bean helps Tyler escape awkward social situations.
Josh thinks that all of the fans who yell “I love you!” aren’t really thinking through the full ramifications of that statement, and that they really mean “I respect you”.
Tyler’s dad sends him band memes all the time, which led to him getting blocked.
“TB Saga” and “Coconut Sharks” don’t get played live because singing and playing the drums is difficult when you’re overwhelmed with emotion.
Every time they see someone with a band tattoo, Tyler and Josh are forced to acknowledge that they have to stay together “for the kids”. You heard the men. You know what to do.
Kevin Klein Line, Live 105, Bay Area:
Not sure how I feel about the interviewers being more sarcastic than the boys. There’s something fundamentally wrong about that.
“Baby Sized Man” may be a future single.
Future projects will be focused on the all-important Mom demographic.
106.5 Sacramento:
Tyler’s Grammy wins mean that more than a few folks are now obliged to get some tattoos.
This is big: Blurryface might not be retired for the next album. Tyler says that he continues to get new ideas about the same kind of ideas that Blurryface is based around. More on that in the BLIND SPECULATION section below.
10N1 Sacramento:
Tyler and Josh would not descend from the ceiling in the style of Gaga if they got the chance to play the Super Bowl. Giraffes, on the other hand...
Josh attributes his physique to Reeses Puffs and cinnamon. Cool, I’m almost there.
New Rock 104.1, Fresno:
“Dude, you’re like the best bro in the world.” -Tyler Joseph to Josh Dun, 2017 (Context: Pointing out that Josh totally could have let Tyler walk onstage solo and left him looking like an idiot.)
Josh explains the difficulty he faced getting his dress pants off.
An eating contest with Josh might replace Mario Kart in future shows (though it presents some potential nausea problems.
It’s not a Twenty One Pilots interview, but worth mentioning: Jon Bellion, who notoriously revealed that he’d be opening for the band months before it was officially announced, might have confessed that their teams might be collaborating on something.
As an update from last week: the full video from Andy Signs’ performance with the band last week was posted, and it’s so sweet. Twenty One Pilots have actually been up to all sorts of cool fan things this week, from meeting with more Make a Wish kids on the Grammy red carpet to hanging out with Kate Hudson’s kids before the first Anaheim show.
Upcoming Shows:
After spending most of last week in a single state, this week of touring has some real geographic range, pretty much spanning from one side of the United States to the other. Let’s take a quick look at the varied locales, shall we?
Show 23: Tucson Arena, Tucson, Arizona, 2/19
Capacity: 7,400
Tumblr media
First stop is Tucson, the second largest city in Arizona. Twenty One Pilots has played six shows in the state capital of Phoenix, but poor Tucson has always been passed over for its neighbor two hours to the north, which both services more people and is physically closer to other potential tour stops. That will change tonight.
Tumblr media
The arena at the Tucson Convention Center usually hosts the hockey team of the University of Arizona. It’s a smaller venue for this tour, but there aren’t many bigger options for this area.
Show 24: BOK Center, Tulsa, Oklahoma, 2/21
Capacity: 13,600
Tumblr media
Tulsa is a fifteen hour drive from Tucson (might be time to bust out the private jet again). A fairly active cultural center in the otherwise pretty empty region of the country, Tulsa. The band has played three shows in Tulsa, though the last two concerts they’ve played in the state of Oklahoma were in the eponymous capital, so this will be a minor homecoming.
Tumblr media
The Bank of Oklahoma Center lacks any regular tenets other than the minor league Oilers hockey team, it keeps the lights on with basketball championships and concerts like these. It’s a pretty interesting building that features a lot of diverse artwork from throughout the region.
Show 25: American Airlines Center, Dallas, Texas, 2/22
Capacity: 21,000
Tumblr media
The tour then moves south to the great state of Texas for what is, surprisingly, the only stop in the territory on this tour. That said, it makes sense to place the stop in Dallas, which, when combined with neighboring Fort Worth and several other nearby cities, makes up the largest metropolitan population in the country outside of New York, L.A., and Chicago. This show will be Twenty One Pilots’ twentieth show in Texas and their eighth in the Dallas area. Fans may remember that the last show they played in this area back during the last leg of the Roadshow fell the day after the fatal shooting of several Dallas police officers; Tyler gave what, in my mind, is easily one of his Top 3 best speeches at that show.
Tumblr media
This show’s venue is one of the biggest on the tour, in an apparent effort to make up for the strangely small size (relatively speaking) of the last show, which could only fit a little over 6,000 folks; the American Airlines Center, known by some as “The Hanger”, can hold more than three times that number. The Hanger is the home of the NHL Stars and NBA Mavericks, and is a local landmark.
Show 26: Legacy Arena, Birmingham, Alabama, 2/24
Capacity: 19,000
Tumblr media
Next stop is Alabama's most populous city, Birmingham. The band hasn't played the city since early in 2013, though they've played near Alabama's southern shore a few times since then. The city will be welcoming them back in one of the state's biggest venues located in Birmingham's convention complex.  
Tumblr media
Show 27: Greensboro Coliseum, Greensboro, North Carolina, 2/25
Capacity: 23,000
Tumblr media
Last on the list for this week is Greensboro, North Carolina's third largest city behind Raleigh and Charlotte. Greensboro and its Coliseum has had a pretty interesting history over the last few years involving struggles to hold on to minor league hockey and basketball teams and, notably, Bruce Springsteen's cancellation of a concert in the venue due to the state's backwards transgender discrimination law. Hopefully the Twenty One Pilots concert will go much more smoothly.
Tumblr media
Community Spotlight:
Keeping it short and sweet this week: artist/comedian Hannah Hoffman makes funny content (not all related to Twenty One Pilots, of course, but even that stuff’s good, too).
BLIND SPECULATION OF THE WEEK:
Calling back to the central topic of most of the interviews from earlier, I must ask: what’s up with Blurryface returning in upcoming albums? Does that mean that we might have been getting clues about upcoming music this whole time?
In a word: no. In another word: yes? Confused? Good.
I don't think there was any indication at the start of the cycle that Tyler and Josh were planning on carrying Blurryface past his eponymous album cycle, for the simple reason that such things were too far in the future for them to worry about at the time. You have to remember that Blurryface was the first album where Tyler really worked on building a story with the songs more than just grouping them around his own life experience, feelings, and maybe a general underlying theme or idea. Around 2015, I'm sure Tyler was thinking about a million different possibilities for future projects, but he was by no means tied down to one course of action or another.
However, in recent months, Tyler has constantly been talking about how all of his creative ideas have been coming out of what he's experienced during this album cycle. That, I think, ensured that the character would continue to exist, even more than just how successful Blurryface was for them as a band. Tyler has always written from what he has experienced, but with all of the success of the last few years, he's gotta be running short on compelling things to write about. He's experienced so much tremendous success that it's doubtful he'll ever have to worry about doubting his decisions or fearing utter failure again. Frankly, the dude's been so busy working that I wonder how much of his own personal life he even has left to write about. That leaves the illogical manifestation of anxiety that Blurryface represents- that gnawing feeling that it's all been a fluke and everything good is temporary- as one of the few real things he can write about that he's personally experienced and that will still be relevant to his audience.
Of course, Tyler hasn't just written from his own experience; songs like "Guns For Hands" have drawn off of what Tyler has seen in his fans when he's shared his music with them. While Blurryface was very much an album about making music and expressing yourself as an artist, what I've heard from Tyler and Josh so far about how the touring has been informing their music gives me reason to believe that a lot of Album 5 will look at how Blurryface, the ideas he represents, and the music they made to fight him has impacted other people. That excites me.
So, back to the original question: Do I think Tyler's given us any direct hints at future songs yet? I think it's a distinct possibility. Though we haven't been getting any lyrical tweets from him (save for maybe that "Friends close, enemies on the guest list" one), the dude talks so much and so eloquently that there's a veritable laundry list of potential lyrics floating around. We know that Tyler dropped lyrics from "Ride" in an interview well before that track's release. Ultimately, we're just gonna have to wait and see.
As always, but especially this week: power to the local dreamer.

I saw:
Dr. Strange- This is the 1978 tv movie that was meant as a pilot to a series that never was, not the recent cog in the blockbuster Make Marvel Millions universe. Here the forces of evil see a chance to get a foot hold into our world when the sorcerer that has been the guardian is reaching his mandatory retirement. Morgan Le Fey is sent to kill the sorcerer before he can give someone the password to all the files....or whatever, and if she can’t killing the unknowing chosen one would be a nice Plan B. As it turns out, when killer gal decides to zap an unsuspecting young woman into being her weapon, the pretty young thing ends up with a post possession case of mental fog with a side order of damsel in distress. This places her in the care of a psychiatric doctor who is also...Dah-Dum!...the chosen one! Will the doctor be able to save his patient from forces he never believed in before, and will this lead him to accept a life of heroic self sacrifice  as his destiny? Well, since it was supposed to be a series I guess you have the answer! LOL
It’s funny how something you hear about as a child can stick with you. When I was a little girl I read something about this tv movie and it capture my imagination. I had been curious for all these years, though admittedly not curious enough to buy a bootleg at conventions** or deal with my problems with online streaming. The recent theatrical release gave me a chance to final get to see this, and I went in expecting it to be absolutely awful. It wasn’t actually! Oh, it is very 1970s and it has all the limitations of budget and technology you’d expect from such vintage tvwork. But if you know the sorts of things made then you can see the ambition....attempting effects, giving it an electronic score, going for some psychadelic dreamscapes, bothering to design sets trying to capture something a bit more fanciful, and playing it with a seriousness.
 To a modern eye some of that might look silly, but it’s about context. There was a mini boom of superheroes on the small screen during the 1970s. Wonder Woman and The Incredible Hulk were hits. The Amazing Spider-man not as much, but he’s already gone live action in the ‘70s with The Electric Company (my first time picking out my own Halloween costume it was Spidey thanks to TEC!) Captain America in motor cycle helmet head gear got a couple wobbly tv movie movies. Saturday morning had the original (sort of) Captain Marvel in Shazam. And there were “not from the comics” heroes like Isis, the Man From Atlantis, Electra Woman and DynaGirl....and maybe you could even count the Bionic family (including dog Max!). Toss in reruns of the 1960s Batman and the 1950′s Superman and even before Superman the Motion Picture live action superheroes were everywhere.*** Almost all (ok, all) of them look silly now too, but most of them were doing the best they could with the resources and styles of tv making of their era.
Now that said, I wouldn’t call this great either. It is slow paced but that isn’t compensated for with any real emotional depth. The journey of the hero to reject the life of self for one of selflessness is hinted at but never really felt. The fact is there is a certain something missing from the central character. The old sorcerer and his former student Wong seemed far more interesting people. I don’t want to be harsh about the actor, since directing, scripting and editing can effect the perception, but shows, particularly back then when simple formulaic plots were the norm, could be made or lost just on the charisma of the star.  But on a night when I had a terrible headache it was an entertaining diversion. 
But dang, why did they do that to his finally unveiled costume?? I’m no expert on the character but don’t you think of his cape as red with flaps framing the face and not some mustard colored thing with no flaps? Just as well it didn’t go to a series if they though their costume was a good idea....
** I saved bootleg purchases for stuff like unaired episodes of Max Headroom and Sapphire and Steel that ended up getting legit releases not too long after, so I had to rebuy them. In the cast of S&S I actually bought the R2 DVDs only to have it come out on R1 so I had to but it again. LOL Actually, I think about the only things I bought on boot video that I haven’t been able to get again on a legal release are the Star Wars Holiday Special and Song of the South. I am not holding my breath on replacing them!!
*** The fact I was able to rattle off all those shows proves that I am A) too geeky to be allowed to live and B) old enough living might not be a problem for long! LOL I was a child in the ‘70s and ‘80s...you wouldn’t believe the crap lodged in this brain!

umbrella academy
love vanya’s style
don’t really like golden boy luther even though he’s clearly just trying his best
the implication is that five could travel in time to before this time and an agency is on his trail
i love officer patch for putting diego in his place
so vanya shot five’s trust in her
so he uses klaus
so they’re torturing the wrong guy - he’s just gonna tell em whatever they wanna hear
allison you asshole. is there literally no one in vanya’s life that’s worth her? nope
“you’re an adult now vanya, you don’t get to blame your problems on anyone but yourself’ FUCK OFF ALLISON. she went to a goddamn therapist, she exposed what horrors you were put through, she made something of herself by mastering a damn instrument - no thanks to ANYONE ever believing in her.
she was trying to be fucking NICE. she literally was the only one who got NOTHING but shit out of the family - GREAT
im thinking that vanya is gonna explode in six days and take the whole of humanity with her. that’s what makes her special - at last
my question is why pogo is so convinced of their dad being a good man and a loving father - in his own way
‘she’s your sister, she knows you didn’t mean it’ that’s as unlikely in that family as a talking walking chimp. CLEARLY there’s zero trust between vanya or anyone. zero trust between any of them
i know they’re trying to present pogo as the real dad in the family - but like - his whole character and insistence on the above is an insult to the trauma they’ve all suffered
‘you were a child miss allison’ ‘but i’m not anymore’ she mirrors her projection back at herself. at least she can do that
of COURSE they’re going to keep allison’s discovery from the audience ugh. im really annoyed with the pacing?? xD it’s because the premise is so straightforward. i don’t normally mind a slow pace but this is like - superhero kids x abusive household. alright. TELL ME MORE
yeah i knew five went pretty mad and started talking to an inanimate object. you’d think he’d have more symptoms of solitary confinement
i thought he killed her but it didn’t work....he hit her in the neck, blood splattered, she went down, and she was back up again the next shot. some time shit? (edit: it was just her arm? those masks do some serious protecc tho)
ok but vanya is not amongst the dead
hey
the problem with these kids is that they don’t have the fortitude to look beyond themselves. they never even realised that their mother is a shell of a human being due to some sort of brainwashing (yeah she’s a robot?)
Diego doesn’t realise that his come-ons (defensive manoeuvres?) are the way to instantly rebuff his only ally
wow why is everyone so shitty to vanya
oh allison, having that power must be a curse on your relationships. but why hasn’t it ruined (obviously) her relationships with her siblings?
i know leonard is awkward but he’s just so friendly. and damn, finally somebody who appreciates her for her?
i love vanya though.
how did allison and luther find five and vanya in the middle of the streets though
these shitters ignore their ‘mom’ in everything - should we turn her off or not? why is that the first thing they go to? why don’t they talk with her together?
vanya has the shittiest and smallest room....
now diego lashes out at vanya. EVERYBODY lashes out at her - because there are no consequences - and there never were
it almost seems like their dad was a robot himself malfunctioning
hypocrisy. everybody bottling shit up. luther suddenly waking up and being a ‘monster’ instead of golden boy. ironic
‘i really need it for my nerves i’ve been taking it since i was kid’ OOHHHH have ya? might it be to repress your fucking powers? seeing as, your dad just kept insisting nothing was special about you?
Leonard!!!! i am really really starting to like this dude. i think they are trying to do a double rug pull. trying to make him look shady (’family right?’), trying to make him look good, trying to make him look shady again.... but really there’s nothing wrong with him
pogo is such a weird character. i really enjoy luther’s and diego’s conflict though.
luther really is still clinging to his privileged little ‘leader’ role, his ‘one’ role and he can’t fathom why the others WOULDN’T stay - just. like. him.
so yeah the agents are time travelers - but they THINK that Five is gonna be the cause ey? bc who would act to CAUSE the end of time? stupid
broken contract? ‘we’re also going to end the world’ so they already know it’s gonna happen - they just didn’t know five was gonna try and change it and they were gonna be involved in stopping him. sounds like the time travel agency camps out in time before the end
personally think it’s weird they’re spinning a romance between two people who’ve been raised as siblings but---- uh weird circumstances i guess
ok so it was a straight rug pull. unless - he’s being a creep throwing her pills away ‘for her own good’. that would still make him not good but not organised evil.
DETECTIVE PATCH RUN!!! DON”T DIE!!!! she’s gonna die isn’t she. fuck
god fucking dammit. it’s gonna give diego a complex bc he wasn’t there for backup. i dont give a fuck about diego i give a fuck about fucking detective patch fucking DYING. god fucking dammit
klaus fucking timetravelled oh my god
what the fuck tho like, this does not bode well for me at all. if they dare kill detective fuckin patch. for what. for a fuckin sad song
I LOVED THAT WOMAN
five grew super old before he ever left the wasteland?? all he gained was a bike
is that grace with a timetravelling suitcase?
did he not kill kennedy?  you can retire to the time and place of your choosing - lol fucking bullshit. and i was right - time agency camps out before the end...
oh klaus has had an experience. sky soldiers? 1968. what was going on then? what war? right vietnam
Helen stopped showing up for first chair? hmmmmMMMMMM it’s like they’re gonna try and build Vanya up. Vanya is DEFINITELY the key
let’s give klaus even MORE ptsd
butterfly effect: just kill a dude and time changes. maybe...try NOT killing someone, saving someone, changing someone ? to ? change time?
‘you’re not my mother. worry about your own daughter’
‘that’s not fair’ hmmmm it’s pretty fair. i mean you barge back into somebody’s life after 12 years and then finally when she’s got a bf you’re like: actually! i bet he’s a creep. lol
i mean she’s probably right but does she not HEAR herself? no bc these kids have never thought about anything else but themselves and their own perspectives
why the FUCK would allison walk in heels if she’s been trained in combat
vanya’s power surfaces....
no one’s ever believed in me like this - hmmm. seems more and more deliberate. Leonard seems very enthusiastic about ‘out of body experience’?? ‘this is your time’ HMMM
LITERALLY an invisible force
the actress for grace is incredible. going from so animated as to seem human to so robotic as to seem not human at all to all these microexpressions mixing the two.
‘do you remember what happened?’ hmmmm
anyway this series takes waaayyyyy too long lol going to bed

Best Instagrams for Men's Style Inspiration
Gone are the days you waited for your monthly GQ to arrive in your mailbox to source your style inspiration. How many pages did you have taped to your walls to inspire your next big clothing buy at the Gap? Ok, maybe I am dating myself. Regardless, thanks to the internet, there are now literally millions of places to find style advice and it is overwhelming.
While the big name magazines are still around , there are blogs, Reddit and subReddit chat rooms, as well as YouTube videos and daily email blasts that tell us what’s hot, what’s not and where to buy it. Of course the Grand Poobah of style arbitration is Instagram. There are now thousands of “influencers” who snap their way to millions of followers by showing us how they dress on a daily basis. While many of these guys seems like they don’t have a clue what real style is, we applaud the attempt. Because of them, men and women are trying harder than ever to look their best 24/7 just in case their OOTD is captured on social media for all of the globe to see.
That said, there are some incredibly dapper gents to follow on Instagram. They know their style and share with us their favorite finds from around the world. Then there are those dudes who are just effortlessly stylish. We enjoy following them too. They may wear some serious suits, but their lifestyle can be just as enviable. Highest respect goes to the guys who give back. They post about helping others, raise awareness for a cause, and encourage their followers to do the same. Below you will find our favorite 13 guys to follow for style inspiration.

It’s refreshing to see a gent in his 50s getting so much attention for his personal style. While Rutherford began as a model in the 90s, much of his career was spent on the production side of things. But thanks to social media, his mug is the main attraction once again. Besides collaborating with menswear brands like ISAIA and Todd Snyder, he also dedicates his time to helping LGBT youth through GLSEN.

I made a DB sport coat for myself in some fuzzy overcoat fabric with metal buttons as a little accent. Not terribly practical, but nice over a thick sweater. Also, loving the @drakesdiary Paraboots. First time owning a pair, really loving them, check them out if you're at the Drake's store! I also wore my first CAID piece I ordered back in 2013 for the Ametora event last night: a grey herringbone tweed, repro of 50s Brooks Brothers.

Liste’s Director Looks Back on 25 Years of Helping Young Galleries Survive
Tumblr media

In April, during a conference in Berlin, David Zwirner floated the controversial idea that mega-galleries like his should pay more for fair booths to subsidize the cost for struggling smaller galleries. He said it would be “a little bit like a tax: you make a little more money, and you get taxed a little bit.” The press was shocked enough by the statement that news reports and think-pieces were filed on the remark, but Peter Bläuer, director of Liste, an Art Basel satellite fair, just thought it was hilarious. His fair had been charging galleries on a scaled system for decades.
“We were laughing here!” Bläuer said last week, calling New York from Basel, Switzerland. “We said, ‘OK, that’s nice of David, but we’ve been doing it for 20 years!’”
Then again, the nonprofit Liste—the scrappy and beloved 79-booth outfit in a former brewery in Basel that opens a day before the 293-booth megalith named after the town—is not like many other fairs. When Bläuer founded it in 1996, it was the first fair to embrace the offbeat and, frankly, uncommercial outfits that could never get into the big bazaars, and has inspired the likes of NADA, Independent, and the Sunday Fair. It cares deeply about young galleries, who pay as little as around 7,100 CHF ($7,140) to appear at the fair in their first year—a deal, considering they get access to the horde of collectors who stop by Liste to see lower-priced works and get a glimpse at the art stars of the future. And as Bläuer prepares to retire after Liste 2018 closes this week, he called from Basel to discuss how having a gallery-first, nonprofit fair like Liste is one of the best ways to help risk-taking galleries.

As far as providing advice for young galleries, Bläuer has quite the pedigree—today’s art stars most likely passed through Liste on their way to the top. Zwirner himself got his start showing at Liste’s first edition in 1996, when it was a band of outlaws shut out from the main fair and intent on claiming their own turf. Since then, the fair has launched galleries as diverse as kurimanzutto from Mexico City, David Kordansky from Los Angeles, and the globetrotting Perrotin, all before they went to claim large booths across town on the Messeplatz.
“There is no one gallery who started after ’96 who belongs today to the top-10s of the world who did not cross Liste,” Bläuer said. “Liste is not just another fair. We really do something that Art Basel is not doing: We really care about the new generation, and at the end, that’s our success.”
At a time when young galleries are struggling to budget for the art fairs they feel they need to attend even if it bankrupts them, Liste has managed to keep booth prices, and ancillary costs, extremely low. Though only first-year galleries get the bargain price of 7,000 CHF for a 25-to-30-square-meter Liste booth, it’s more than three times cheaper than the 24,900 CHF a gallery has to pay for a space of that size at Art Basel, at the price of 830 CHF (around $845) per square foot. (A booth in the Statements sector of Basel is 400 CHF, or $405, per square foot, meaning an equivalent 30-square-foot booth would still be nearly twice as expensive than one at Liste at 12,000 CHF, or $12,166.) And while the prices go up a bit each year, they top out at 15,660 CHF ($15,876) for a booth if a gallery is in the fair for eight years or more. And all amenities that other fairs can tack on for extra fees—from lighting to Wi-Fi to partition walls—are included. The staff even finds the dealers a cheap place to crash in town.
“We care about the price, and we care about accomodation so they don’t have to go to expensive hotels—it’s things like this,” Bläuer said. “At other art fairs, it’s very expensive to get more light or if you want to paint this wall, but we don’t take these extras. It’s an important point that the fair is not that expensive. Liste is not profit oriented, there is no conglomerate behind us that wants to make a lot of money. We try to keep the prices low as possible. I am happy at the end of the year if we can pay all the bills!”

And this year, just to spice things up, Bläuer introduced an award: a 2,000 CHF ($2,029) discount on the booth funded by a nonprofit foundation he started last year, Friends of Liste, which is given to five to ten galleries that applied with risky—and perhaps not overtly commercial—special projects. Bläuer said he wanted to make sure the whole thing didn’t scream “art fair” to visitors.
“When I realize that everyone wants to only bring paintings, I say, ‘Oh my god, I don’t want a painting art fair!’” he said. “Contemporary art is more than just painting! So I say to the galleries, ‘Please, bring also other things.’”
And in order to attract the galleries that would bring difficult work that might not sell, he had to offer them a discount in return.
“I know on the other side, it’s not an easy time,” he said.
The fair began when two then-small, now-big Zurich dealers, Eva Presenhuber and Peter Kilchmann, asked Bläuer to join them in proposing a sector for young galleries at Art Basel. It was the most powerful fair in the world, but it consistently rejected upstart galleries with new artists in their stable. Art Basel wasn’t interested in opening a sector for young galleries at that time, so the trio found a space quite different from the open-plan-style expo centers that hosted most fairs: a 19th-century red brick edifice that once housed a brewery. It’s a sprawling building that curls its way up several stories, with galleries occupying turrets at the rooftops and nooks in the basement and everywhere in between. Showing in the first edition were 36 galleries from 12 countries, including Maureen Paley from London, Jack Hanley from San Francisco, and Jack Tilton from New York.

“It was the first fair to focus on younger galleries,” Bläuer said. “There [were] a lot of very, very interesting galleries, so we would have been stupid to not do something for them.”
By creating an environment willing to accomodate more risk-taking shops, Bläuer created what he said was the first fair that championed the smaller galleries, not just the most successful galleries—creating an ecosystem for daring art dealers in a country that is generally very accomodating of other parts of the arts ecosystem. There are Swiss government subsidies and grants for artists, museums, and critics—but not, Bläuer noted, for gallerists. And more than two decades after Liste’s inception, it is still a perilous time for young, small galleries. The cities where galleries have to locate to be near collectors also have sky-high rents, which, for galleries with lower price points, can be unsustainable. And just as they have historically, today’s mega-gallery juggernauts are still gobbling up talent as soon as young galleries start to make money off of them.
Liste gives dealers a guilt-free fair option, and Bläuer says he personally imparts business acumen to young galleries who might not know much about budget sheets or payroll, at a time in their careers when every fair can be make-or-break. While he’s never run a gallery himself, he said that he understands from running a fair, even a nonprofit one, that you need to be on top of expenditures and budgets, and he tries to offer general financial advice to the galleries who he thinks need it.

“There were several galleries who were at Liste that closed, so we’re aware of [their plight],” Bläuer said. “New York or London is very, very expensive to rent, we can’t do a lot for that. But sometimes I see new galleries, they love art, they have very good artists, but they don’t know very much about business. It’s not enough to love art—it’s also a business.”
He added that some dealers did arrive at Liste fully formed and ready for primetime, such as Los Angeles-based David Kordansky. “I already saw that he will be, one day, really on the top,” Bläuer said. But, he added, “Not every gallery wants to have a gallery like Kordansky or Zwirner, they don’t want to have 50 people working for them.”
There may be a Kordansky-esque natural at this year’s Liste, but after that, Bläuer won’t be there to see them bloom—he’s decided to retire at 66, to rest a bit. (“I’m an old man!” he said. “It’s time!”) He wants to spend some time viewing Old Masters instead of contemporary works, and hang out with friends and family. But Liste will continue apace. It will be owned not by a giant fair conglomerate, but by a nonprofit foundation; beholden not to the bottom line, but to the satisfaction of galleries who have nowhere else to offer risky work to top-flight collectors. The new director, who will be chosen in August, could be young or old, Bläuer said. (A note for those considering applying: The listing says applicants should be native German speakers.)

And while Liste has always been confined to Basel, Bläuer said his successor might decide to extend the fair’s brand to other cities.
“There can be another art fair somewhere, as we always thought about that—Liste is a very good brand!” Bläuer said. “We never did it, but if it’s the right time, the right moment, the right place, we might do it.”
What’s for sure is, when the fair opens Monday, there will be galleries who could not afford to go to other fairs, showing artists other dealers wouldn’t take chances on, and presenting them to the world’s collectors in town for Art Basel. The model works so well that, inevitably, some galleries at Liste this year will soon move on to the bigger fair across town.
“Every year, we look around in the whole world, and ask, ‘Where are the really new interesting galleries?’” Bläuer said. “And we pick the best of them and introduce them in Basel to the audience, to the collectors, to the museum people. Art Basel doesn’t do that—but that’s fantastic, that’s the great thing, as we fit so well together. They start here, and if they’re good enough, Art Basel takes them. That’s always a compliment for us.”
