#oxygyn

[camryemerald]

ok so now we have all the songs, ill put in my two cents for who i think should qualify from mesc's semi finals (in no particular order, numbers are just there so i can count correctly):

Sarah Bonicci - "Loop" (SF1)

2. Dominic Cini - "Bewsa" (SF1)

3. Sopranique - "Empire" (SF2)

4. Haley Azzopardi - "Tell Me That It's Over" (SF2)

5. Denise Mercieca - "Mara" (SF2)

6. Karin Duff - "Breaking Bad" (SF3)

7. Thea Aqualina - "Blood Stream" (SF3)

8. Erba' - "Sirena" (SF4)

i couldnt really make an exact opinion for the last four so id probably be happy with any combo of:

Eliana Gomez Blanco - "There's Only Flowers" (SF1)

Oxygyn - "Cloudmaker" (SF1)

Franklin Calleja - "Puppet" (SF2)

Miguel Bonello - "Better Off Alone" (SF3)

Lisa Gauci - "Breathe" (SF4)

Ryan Hili - "Karma" (SF4)

out of all of these my favorite is tied between Bewsa, Loop, Breaking Bad, and Sirena but we'll see how things go when we have a proper stage to work with

PMATGA Headcanon: Pac-Walkers

Pac-Walkers are a sub-species of Pac-People that can transform into wolves while their corporeal bodies lie sleeping. It’s unknown HOW this happened. Known Pac-Walkers

Winter

a traveler who mostly lived in the forest for most of her life, she sometimes visit Sir C’s lab in Pac-Wrolder form, the 1st Pac-Walker to meet Pacster

Anastasia

The 1st Pac-Person to become a Pac-Walker in history, she caused 30 Pac-People to become Pac-Walkers, one of them was a young Winter.

Pac-Walkers are a parody of Wolfwalkers, which is the parent species . All Pac-Walkers wolf forms will look like Earth Wolves.

Powers and Abilities

Senses - Pac-Walkers have unique senses. In Pac-Person form, a Pac-Walker can "see" the energy of a living being and the species form of another Wolfwalker that is in wolf form. seeing the creatures as color in contrast to the rest of the world looking gray-scaled. Wolfwalkers are also able to feel the vibrations in the earth to sense the movements of anyone or anything nearby.

Astral Shapeshifting - when they go to sleep, a Pac-Walker can leave there corporeal bodies and become a physical wolf, adult Pac-Walkers are bigger than horses in there wolf form. Pac-Walkers must be careful in their wolf forms, for any injuries they suffer will appear on their corporeal bodies too.

Healing - Pac-Walkers can heal injuries by touching or holding their hands over the wounded and sharing their energy with them. For more serious injuries, more wolves and ghosts need to share their energy, not just Pac-Walkers. If a Pac-Walker dies in wolf form, their corporeal body will die with them. and if their body dies, there still a wolf forever.

Command of Wolves - Pac-Walker are able to command normal wolves, who will follow orders very well with a keen intelligence and understanding.

Biting - If a Pac-Walker bites a Pac-Person, the human can become a Pac-Walker themselves. It is implied that even if the Wolfwalker heals the bite immediately, the bitten victim will still become a Wolfwalker/Pac-Walker after all. it is possible for a Pac-Walker to bite a human, or a Pointy Head and they become a Wolfwalker(the Pac-Walker's parent species) but impossible for a ghost to become a Pac-Walker because they are already dead.

Immunity from Netherwrold Toxixity - sence a Pac-Walker is a spirit outside of there bodies, Pac-Walkers have similar traits to a ghost, in fact, being immune to the Netherworld's Toxic Oxygyn, but it is only in wolf form.

Vision - it is possible that Pac-Walkers might have the ability to see the world through a ghost's eyes without controlling them

[juuret]

Oxygyn looks like a tragedeigh name

[kyuroon]

Update: I caught the mosquito. Sadly for it, I am not as merciful as my mother, who simply squishes mosquitoes the moment she sees them. No, I watch as the thing panics at it's entrapment. I watch as it sinks to the bottom of it's glass cage in defeat. I watch as it writhes one final time, knowing that it's end has truly come. And as it takes the final breath of oxygyn left in the glass. I watch as it drops dead. And I smile.

google how do i eradicate an entire species off the face of the earth?

Pale Waves have dropped their new video for ‘You Don’t Own Me’. Taken from their just released new album Who Am I?, the clip fits perfectly to the 90s-slash-00s guitar pop aesthetic that runs throughout the record. All multicoloured hair and graffiti covered walls, it’s a bright, brash delight. [via Dork]

Los Angeles-based pop artist Cooper Phillip is known for her empowering anthems that highlight everything from strength and gratitude to self-love. Her latest single, 'Not Perfect,' is yet another example of her ability to craft uplifting tunes, encouraging listeners to start putting themselves before others in order to fulfill your own desires. The Russian-born singer has just dropped a new music video, and it's everything we expected from this flamboyant artist and more. The theatrical video emphasizes the importance of rebelling against the idea of being perfect and all that it represents. When you begin to let go of the idea of perfection, Phillip reminds us, life is so much better. Phillip wants to encourage you to live life a little less seriously, do what you want, wear what you want, and most importantly, be who you want. After all, our time on this planet is far too short to worry about living up to other people's standards and expectations. According to the artist herself, "'Not Perfect' is about self love and finding qualities about yourself that make you unique. There is no need to modify who you are just to fit in with society's norms. You have to stay true to who you are and carry yourself with pride and with dignity." 'Not Perfect' features Phillip's soaring, soulful vocals, big and bold melodies, and fast-paced, dance-worthy beats. Intoxicating to say the least, this song will worm its way into your mind all day long. By the end, it'll have you grinning ear to ear, and more importantly, it'll remind you who you are.

Closely following the release of their new single, Maltese electro-pop outfit OXYGYN have shared the brand new video for ‘Mercy’. The new video continues from 2020’s ‘Wicked White Lies’, a portrayal of how society deals with social issues in which individuals are made vulnerable, as frontman Kurt Abela details: “We become angered by a social cause when it first emerges, but we are quick to break it down within our own minds and forget. Instead, we focus on our own personal issues, and are not able to overcome them. This video acts as a wake-up call to society that the social issues hinted at throughout the video are still present and need their due attention.”

Oxford alt-pop outfit pecq have unveiled the video for ‘Killing Time’ . The band say: "‘Killing Time' is about making the same mistakes over and over – dying relationships I kept going back to, destructive habits I can’t break. I’m a big one for drastic changes and breaking with the past but so many times I end up back where I started – burn it down and build it just the same." Killing Time is the second single from their forthcoming EP Stranger, due out April 15. [via Loud Women]

With us getting a taster of spring the past weekend, singer-songwriter Bess Atwell is keeping the momentum going with her dreamy new single 'Co-op'. Like the first blooms of spring, Atwell’s latest single unfolds with serene ripples of guitar strings surrounded by her lush calming vocals, leading us to a track that has us reminiscent of Lana Del Rey and Phoebe Bridgers. Similar to her previous offerings, the track maintains the same fresh and unique sound she has displayed throughout her career. Accompanied by a self-directed video, the singer puts the emotional context of the track at the forefront, directly referencing the lyrics with bold imagery and contrasting props. Opening up on the single, the singer revealed, “It’s an illustration of mine and my partner’s life together. The relationship seemed to provide me with some sort of permission to recuperate from family trauma, as if realising for the first time that there was a life outside of that chaos lulled me into an emotional slumber. Through the song, I grapple with the desire for, and fear of, comfort. I used references to Virginia Woolf’s Mrs Dalloway to depict a vivid nostalgia and an affinity for trivialities that serve to calm when darker thoughts set it.” [via Wonderland]

Polish alt-pop aesthete Brodka has shared her barbed new single 'Game Change'. The multi-hyphenate returns with new album BRUT, a fresh statement from a potent, outspoken figure. Huge in her homeland, Brodka has shifted and evolved with each project - and BRUT will be a further chapter in this. New single 'Game Change' is out now, and lyrically it's an expressive statement of feminism that comes at a timely moment for Poland. Brodka says that the single "is about gender roles in society; a topic that's particularly prevalent in her home-country of Poland at the moment, where reproductive rights are being rolled back by lawmakers." The dazzling video is online now, and it spins a repressive dogma on its head. She says: "While making the video for 'Game Change', I was inspired by the story of the Albanian Sworn Virgins. Women who, by taking a vow of chastity, take on a male role in society while gaining all the privileges associated with being a man. They are treated as men but can keep their feminine names. This story, although abstract, is relevant to the current situation of women in Poland. Sadly, you don't have to be a Sworn Virgin to have your rights decided by men in the 21st century." [via Clash]

After teasing the collaboration last week, Ashe and FINNEAS have unveiled their new single 'Till Forever Falls Apart'. The collaborative track is accompanied by a video directed by Sam Bennett that shows both artists dancing at sunset. Ashe says of the song, "'Till Forever Falls Apart' is one of my favourite songs with one of my favourite people. If I’ve learned anything from Moral of the Story, it’s that accepting the hard truth is strangely comforting. This song, while sounding like the most romantic song I’ve ever written, is about acceptance as well. The lyrics, ‘I’m gonna love you knowing we don’t have forever’ is about how it’s more important to have had the chance to love than to stay in love. FINNEAS is one of the most talented people I know and it’s fitting to release this song with someone I love so much. I'm lucky to know him and I hope to never know a life without him in it." FINNEAS adds, "Ashe to me, is a timeless artist. Her music will be as relevant and important 30 years from now as it is today. Making music with her has always been an extension of our friendship and I could not love this song more." [via Line Of Best Fit]

Charley enters into the Australian pop world with her debut single 'Hard For Me'. It's the type of slick, high-tier pop song that sits amongst the world's biggest stars, carrying the same acute level of sheen and confidence as Charley moves above a bright, synth-driven production that elevates her every word. It's the type of single that takes the foundations laid by modern-day pop heavy-hitters - she lists Katy Perry as an inspiration, for example - and builds upon them, evolving the sound forwards into 2021 and beyond. Produced by Stephen Schmultz in Nashville three years ago now, the song introduces Charley and everything you need to know about her this early on. You get a taste of her sound and the energies and inspirations that fuel them, as well as the intimacy that underlies a lot of her songwriting, and how she brings pockets of her personal life to the forefront through glitzy pop songwriting. She's a welcome addition to Australian pop, and you get the sense that 'Hard For Me' is really just the beginning. "[Hard For Me has been] a long time coming, and as a Virgo, I am not patient," she says on the single. "In my head, this has always been my debut release. It’s got such a special place in my heart. I’ve had such a vision for every single part of it. "Me and my boyfriend had kind of just gotten back together again at that point. All of the butterflies were heightened again. I just wanted to write a song about how I felt about him and how it gave me such a rush when I looked at him. Everyone has been there! When you just… melt." Take a dive into the single and its Mitchell McKay-directed video clip above. [via Pilerats]

After making a name for themselves with their dusty-yet-glowing self-titled debut in 2017, Chapel Hill duo Blue Cactus are announcing their return with their second LP called Stranger Again. Set to be released May via Sleepy Cat Records, the album continues the pair’s mission to blend classic country sounds with vintage ’70s pop sensibilities and a sobering sense of honesty, as heard on the record’s first single, 'Come Clean.' “Sometimes we are the last person to tell ourselves the truth,” vocalist Stephanie Stewart shares of the track’s lyrical origins. “We ignore our gut, suppress our instincts, and go through the motions of a life that other people have defined for us. We become the person everyone else wants us to be and lose ourselves along the way. ‘Come Clean’ is about radical self-love and acknowledging the struggle in that journey; that hard, unflinching look in the mirror. “In 2017,” she continues, “I was in the process of separating from my then husband. I wrote most of this song during that time. It wasn’t until a year later after the divorce was finalized that I was able to find the words that had been missing from this song. I was carrying a lot of shame and guilt, and once I finally let that go, I was free to rediscover who I was as a person outside of that relationship. I was finally free to love me.” The track’s video echoes these themes of rebirth and relearning, with the band members blindfolded and slowly making contact with the outside world. [via Flood]

Mermaidens have delivered their catchiest, dreamiest cut yet. 'Soft Energy' is the single teased with the announcement of their Soft Energy New Zealand Tour. The new track is stupidly good, and ushers in the next Mermaidens era after 2019 album Look Me In The Eye. Vocalist Gussie Larkin took the director's chair for the 'Soft Energy' video, and with support from NZ On Air and director of photography Ezra Simons (Earth Tongue), has created a blush-tinted world for the band to expose their soft, tender hearts and ask those with a "tough and detached exterior ... to act with softness and vulnerability". [via Under The Radar]

Along with the release of her debut EP, Swimming Lessons, 19-year-old alt-pop singer-songwriter Genevieve Stokes premiered the video for her newest single, 'Parking Lot,' on Friday. Shot in her hometown of Portland, ME, the 'Parking Lot' video is a wistful tribute to the first flush of young love. "I wrote 'Parking Lot' after I met my now-boyfriend for the first time," Stokes tells NYLON. "It’s about the intoxicating, obsessive feeling of a new crush and creating a fantasy world with them. " After teaching herself piano at the age of eight, Stokes spent her adolescence developing her sound, inspired by iconic female singer-songwriters like Cat Power and Regina Spektor. Swimming Lessons was recorded this past year in a cabin in the woods, a haunting, beautiful setting that seeps into the records' sound. [via NYLON]

You can’t blame us for wanting a bit of hedonistic relief after a year of going stir-crazy within our four walls. And as we yearn for release, and ache for the proximity and darkness of a packed dance floor, here to give it to us, no questions asked, is dark-pop trio KRUDO. Comprised of pop singer Olivia May Green, as well as established industry greats, producers Dan Duncan and Igor Tchkotoua, KRUDO blurs the lines of genre to make way for a whole new body-moving beast – and their latest release 'You Can’t Blame Me' is no exception. Moody warped synths, sinister bass lines and the haunting vocals of Green tell a story of empowerment and self-love, as she growls “I’ll never change or leave to fit your master plan.” Just the anthem we needed when many of us will be feeling disconnected and out of sorts. The trio have previously stated that their music is “not about polished pop music; it’s about memorable moments that hold a clear message.” And that much is clear from the formidable sonic palette of the new release, accompanied by a symbolic music video which shows Green breaking the picture-perfect shackles of industry expectation and rising phoenix-like into her own identity. Taken from their two-part EP of the same name, the release comes as part of the ever-expanding release schedule of label HE.SHE.THEY – the event series, record label and fashion brand operating as a safe space for individuals regardless of “age, race, sex, gender, ableness, religious background or sexual preference”. [via Wonderland]

Top popster Bebe Rexha has dropped a brand new single, titled ‘Sacrifice’. The track is taken from her forthcoming second album, which she claims is “by far the most challenging yet fulfilling project I have ever worked on. I wrote, recorded, re-wrote, re-recorded and then repeated that process in order to deliver an album that truly reflects who I am as a singer, songwriter and most importantly as an artist. I want to give listeners a journey of pop paradise fused with elements of rock and hip-hop. It’s important to me that my music continues to recognize ongoing themes of vulnerability, the cycle of self-destruction & self-realization, and female empowerment.” So there we go. ‘Sacrifice’ follows up on 2020’s ‘Baby, I’m Jealous’ which featured Doja Cat. You can check out the vampire themed video above. [via Dork]

Tulliah has debuted the video for her really quite lovely new single, ‘Distant Dreams’. Taken from her debut EP Fre$h Hugs – set to drop next Friday (12th March), the clip was filmed in her hometown of Mt Martha Beach, Australia and directed by Cass Wood. Tulliah explains, “30 degrees, snow gear on the beach, fish man = very weird dream! I had this idea for a while that the video clip for 'Distant Dreams' would be really weird and dream like. When I was in the studio we went on a tangent about being in winter clothes while sunbathing on the beach, flying on planes to Hawaiian beaches and little fishes eating big sharks. I have no idea why haha but I knew it was weird, just like all Dreams are”. Talking about how the track came together, she adds: “We set up my new piano in the backroom of my parent’s. My mum was moving a painting that they have had for years to the top of the piano when she read the back of it – it was called Distant Dreams. This song flowed out of me. I used to never really believe that I could achieve my dreams. This song is about not wanting to break away from my visions and goals. The lyrics ‘don’t go waking me up’ is a really direct demand to myself! It’s about not wanting to go back to doubting my capabilities.” [via Dork]

Ladyhawke is back with a brand new single, ‘Guilty Love’. The first taster of a new album, due to arrive later this year, the track features fellow popsters BROODS. Ladyhawke – real name Pip Brown – explains: “‘Guilty Love’ came about after some writing sessions with Tommy English in Los Angeles. Georgia Nott from BROODS came along to one of our sessions, and after we were talking a while, we realised we had all grown up Catholic. We shared stories and experiences; Georgia then suggested we write a song about shame”. “‘Guilty Love’ is important to Georgia and me for different reasons. Personally, growing up in the Catholic school system, as I reached my teens, I started to feel immense shame and denial about my sexuality. I suffered the constant fear of being judged and alienated by my friends and family. These feelings took a long time to shake off and work through. ‘Guilty Love’ is a way to share our experiences, and hopefully help anyone going through the same thing to know they’re not alone.” Georgia from BROODS adds “’Guilty Love’ came from the classic “in-studio heart to heart”. We talked about growing up religiously and how we carried a lot of shame around the idea of what a woman (or person) should be. This song is about that but also about finding our own way back to a sense of spirituality through love. The love that once caused so much guilt, ended up being the most healing and spiritual. END CONVERSION THERAPY EVERYWHERE!” Too bloody right. ‘Guilty Love’ comes with a video fitting of the song’s message. [via Dork]

Atlanta-based pop artist Siena Liggins shared her video 'No Valet' on Thursday, the second single from her upcoming debut album Ms. Out Tonight. The track serves as the follow-up to 'Dirty Girl' alongside Yung Baby Tate, seeing the singer take viewers from the dancefloor to the backseat of a car in the club parking lot. The quirky clip finds Liggins adorned and surrounded by sparkly glitz, cowboy hats, and disco balls, playfully performing with a full band. "'No Valet' is steamy, downtempo braggadocio disguised as a backseat car anthem for whatever happens after the after-party," Siena explained to FADER about the song. “I was listening to a lot of old songs produced by Timbaland before [producer] Nydge laid down this really sexy bassline that put me in the mood for something steamy and dreamy at the same time.... It’s the confidence I get after the function is over and the groove I need when I’m talking my shit." [via The FADER]

London's Mychelle is certainly an individual. Freshly signed to FAMM - the same management company as Jorja Smith and ENNY - her new single 'The Way' is a subtle but deeply powerful piece of songwriting. Soft and soulful, it relishes on nuance, allowing the most subtle element to rise and grapple with intensity. Mychelle's video for 'The Way' was shot on Hackney Downs in East London - fact fans might not that it's close to our office. Directed by photographer Michaela Quan it's a beautiful glimpse into her world. [via Clash]

Pussy Riot have announced a new EP called Panic Attack, due out next week — March 11. As a preview of the impending release, they’re sharing 'Sexist', a bold new single featuring fellow Russian rapper Hofmannita, which comes with an unforgettable NSFW music video. 'Sexist' is the second single Pussy Riot have shared from Panic Attack, following 'Toxic', their collaboration with Dorian Electra and 100 gecs’ Dylan Brady. Produced by White Punk and Count Baldor, 'Sexist' is a dark electro-pop hip-hop song about the severity of rape culture. Pussy Riot and Hofmannita take turns telling the fictional story of a heroine being invited to a hotel room by a male governmental official, being harassed, and, unable to escape, murdering him in self-defense. Consider shielding your screen before hitting play on the song’s music video. In the NSFW clip, various nude men pose as pieces of furniture while the singers casually push them around with collars and whips. Peppered throughout is plenty of latex apparel, BDSM positioning, and generally regal decor. According to Pussy Riot member Nadya Tolokonnikova, the video is meant to inverse the main premise of the patriarchal culture. “Instead of women and queer people being objectified and serving as furniture, we use sexist pigs as furniture,” she said in a statement. “The video does not encourage to oppress anyone, but rather satirically highlights arbitrary and absurd nature of any oppression.” [via Consequence of Sound]

I love the thought of one day turning up to my parents house in a mini van with my feeder, i would be sat over three seats in the back devouring a pack of doughnuts, my belly nearly resting on the floor of the van and my arse spread into rolls upon rolls around my hips. Heaving my enourmous overworked body out of the vehicle, with my feeder shockingly trying to pull me to my feet. It will take many attemps but once im up ill make the slow manouver of barely waddling over to my made for fattys wheelchair whilst my feeder hooks up my oxygyn mask, all whilst my family and neibours are all watching out their windows

"You're really red right now."

Glaring over at his opponint, Kakashi held a hand over his chest as he struggled to catch his breath. “Shut up,” he grumbled. It was rare for him to train so hard that he was left breathless. Usually he had to be sparing with Gai to feel this tired after. “just...jus give me a second.”

In front of him, Tenzo watched with an unimpressed look etched on his face. “Senpai, are you doing alright?”

“i’m fine,” he insisted even as his lungs burned, struggling to get in the neccessary oxygyn he needed to keep living. “i just... need a moment.”

Almost as soon as those words had left his mouth, Kakashi felt his knees giving out from under him as everything went black.

the last thing he registered was his body crashing against something hard, and then there was nothing.

———————-

Sitting up in his bed, Kakashi listened to Tenzo yell at him for the 3rd time since he had woken up. “i get it,” he turned tired eyes to his friend, struggling to stay awake even now as his body fought off whatever it was that he had. “i’m sorry. i didn’t realize i was sick when i came to training.”

he had noticed he was feeling more sluggish than usual. Hia bones were hurong, his eyes were constantly fighting to stay open, and even before training he had felt a little out of breath.

He had made the mistake of thinking it was all due to a lack of sleep. Tsunade Sama had corrected him about that as soon as he had woken up.

“You’re always pushing yourself too hard, Senpai,” The anger faded from Tenzo’s voice, replaced instead by annoyance with a small hint of worry “you could have really hurt yourself.”

“but i didn’t,” he tried to smile, but even that took too much energy right now. “listen, i’ll try not to miss the next time i’m sick alright? i honestly didn’t notice.”

Tenzo rolled his eyes, used to hearing Kakashi’s promises to do better. He knew better than most that he never held true to those promises.

“You’re off duty for a week,” Kakashi cringed. The way Tenzo said that meant that even if he woke up healthy and ready to go tommorow, he was still going to be benched for the rest of the week. “i’ll take care of team 7 while you rest.”

“Tenzo you don’t h..” he cut himself off when Tenzo held up a hand to silence him.

“you’re working yourself too hard, Senpai,” The Mokuton User glared at him, practiclly daring him to challenge that statement. He couldn’t though. He knew it was true “rest up, get better and spend a few days with Gai-San and your son. the world will still be here at the end of the week.”

With a defeated sigh, Kakashi nodded his head “alright.” it wasn’t as if he had much of a choice, and he wasn’t against spending some time with his son. It was so hard to see him when everything seemed to be going wrong these days.

[daenerys-targaryen-moved]

Something I've noticed with s/ansa stans is that they talk more about their dislike for arya / daenerys / margaery / jeyne / literally any other female more than they talk about s/ansa? It's almost as if they're so insecure about their own favorite character that they have to DIG and TEAR into legit any other female character that threatens her likableness to the audience.

Yeah, that’s very true. Before season 7 happened, I know that the majority of their attention was focused on Arya and then Margaery like you’ve pointed out, but then when season 7 happened and jonerys also happened/ the j/nsas jumped on board on the hate train and then it was Daenerys they were attacking. Posts like the one I just reblogged where it was how the op was saying how perfect and pure and angelic sansa is compared to how evil and monsteros and cruel Daenerys is when it’s all perspective. It’s all so hypocritical. Sansa and Daenerys could breath the same oxygyn and they would be like, “Sansa had to breathe or else she’d die!” and then they’d be like, “Daenerys is evil because she’s taking PRECIOUS oxygen from the people! Villain!” It’s just fucking ridiculous. Keep her name out of your mouth. I’m so sick of it all.

Smoke and Night

➵ SF9: (best friend) Jaeyoon x fem. reader / drabble, dystopian AU / slight angst 

➵ warnings: mentions of violence

➵ word count: 629

➵ part II with Rowoon

The coppery smell of blood hangs in the air, the sky is dark with smoke and night. You cough a few times, lungs burning and head spinning from lack of proper oxygyn. "Jaeyoon?", you gasp more than scream, voice rough and too small, "Jaeyoon! Where are you?"

You are sobbing by now, eyes tearing up from the smoke and fear, but still, you press on, searching through the night.

The fire had broken out in the span of mere seconds, engulfing the whole district, eating through buildings and humans alike.

All around you are crumbled walls and scorched bodies, things you don’t want to see and try to ignore. You have only one thought inside your head: Find Jaeyoon.

You need to find him, need him, your best friend, the one who's always been at your side. You can't make it without him, don't even want to. There's only been him and you these last few years, you don’t even know who you are without him by your side.

"JAEYOON!"

This time, your voice is louder, even though it doesn't sound like your own anymore, too rough and deep thanks to all the smoke you’ve been inhaling. Then - you hear your name and begin to sob even harder: "Y/N!"

"Jaeyoon!"

You follow his shouts, voice getting louder with every step you take towards one of the crumbled, still smoking buildings.

Finally, you see him - hunched over and bloodied, dark hair plastered to his forehead thanks to the deep gash he's sporting. Soot is covering his whole body, but his eyes are bright and his smile the same, when he finally spots you. You run towards him, fall into his arms and press your face into his neck, his arms circling you immediately.

"I thought I'd lost you.", you whimper against him and he chuckles, followed by a few coughs.

"You're not getting rid of me that easy.", he says, voice gruff.

You take a step back and look at him, gaze travelling over his bloody wound, your eyes heavy with worry.

"I'm fine. Looks worse than it is." Jaeyoon grazes his knuckles over your dirty cheek, lips curling into a small smile, showing off his dimples. "We should be getting out of here, so stop staring at me - if you can, that is. I know I'm probably too handsome for that."

At this, you huff and roll your eyes. "Yeah, you wish."

Objectively, you obviously know how handsome Jaeyoon is - with curly brown hair, sparkling eyes and a bright smile.

But you always see other, younger versions of him in your mind: his toothless grin when he managed to knock out his front teeth during his first (obviously failed) attempt at bicycling; or his pale, skinny body when you were enjoying the brutally hot sun during your summer holidays - that had been before he began to hit the gym though.

Now, he’s far from the skinny boy you used to know. But still, you have seen all his awkward stages (as well as he yours), so you’ll never see each other as anything more than friends (even though your bond can't be described by a simple word like friendship, not really).

Both your parents had always hoped for something more between you, but that was eons ago, during a time completely different from now - when the government hadn't been that corrupted, your society not at the edge of total collapse and your future not as uncertain.

"Let's get out of here.", you finally say, tugging at Jaeyoon's hand and dragging him with you.

You quickly make your way through the collapsing district, trying not to think about your failed mission - and what it means for your friends, when you come back without any food or water yet again.

why do I need to clarify this?

VACCINES DO NOT CAUSE AUTISM!

Ignoring the idiot who posted a false report, lets look at the facts autism is cause by differential chemical functions in the brain IN UTERO,  you don’t get vaccines untill well after your Out of the uterus... On to the next, Ok so lets for a second pretend vacciens do cause autism (They don’t but Ok I’ll humor you you idiotic waste of oxygyn)  Is autism, really so much worse then a child who slowly dies of things like oh I dunno, Tetanus or rabies or mesals or rubella? Lets go deeper shall we?  You have a child who is incredibly ill... hrm you know what I’ll give you a personal example Your child's not just ill you child suffers from Infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis a sever brain degenerative disease.  Because of the severity of this illness you child cannot be vaccinated and relies on herd immunity you know that thing where Because no one else is sick they won’t carry the illness to your child, like a defence wall.

Now imagine this beautiful baby who you love and treasure and do everything you can do is suddenly even sicker,  so you rush them to the hospital because this isn’t normal, this high fever the runny nose swollen teary eyes, nope she is sick, very sick, and why? because a mom you passed in the grocery store is anti-vaxx and her child who is not showing symptoms is carrying a summer flu and breathed on your cute baby who you happily showed off with no idea.

Your child is now in a plastic tent fighting to breath an extra layer of struggling for her life because of a perfectly preventable illness that wasn’t prevented because that Anti-vaxx mom thinks ‘My kid my choice’ But it’s not just her kid, it’s your kid to, wasting away unable to breath because she thinks her choices don;t effect anyone else. STILL WANNA FIGHT OK LET GO AGAIN

Your the antivaxxer again, you’ve chosen not to vaxxinate any of your children, you keep every essential oil and health food available,  you tend to avoide over the counter drugs to because it’s all big pharma padding their wallets.  Not like all those health food places or essential oil sales people, oh no they would never do that, they would never prey on your ignorance.

one child gets sick, Oh no, but thats ok you have your oils you have good healthy alternatives, just put them to bed give them plenty of water and Oh maybe a cold bath for that sudden sever fever.  Oh no hold on, your other child says they don’t feel well, untill all your children are ill, and worse your first child simply isn’t getting better,  nothing is helping, whats wrong. so despite your well honed google obtained medical skills you bite the bullet and take your beloved child to the hospital only to be told they won’t make it.

As you look at the small dying child in the bed having finnally caved and allowed them to pump him with all the medicine they can and hook him up to every machiene possible a doctor asks you ‘did you vaccinate, and you have to look him in the eye holding your dying childs hand and say ‘no I don’t believe they work’ As far as I’m concerned an antivaxxer parents is as bad as an abusive one, if you don’t vaccinate your children you don’t deserve them.

Dark-pop outfit OXYGYN unveil new single 'Mercy'

Abstractly focussing on the complex paradigms of humanity, Maltese indie-pop outfit OXYGYN unveil their new single, ‘Mercy’.

Formed of sibling vocal duo Katia and Kurt, with Zack on guitars and Funky Monkey on production, OXYGYN strive to leave their unique mark on the pop music scene; aiming to encourage their listeners to not only hear their music, but to also sit back and reflect.

Propelled by an addictive electronic beat, ‘Mercy’ is the band’s melancholic, yet punchy sixth single release since their 2015 inception; heavily led by Katia and Kurt’s captivating duelling vocals.

The track was recorded, produced, mixed and mastered by Peter Borg at Malta’s Railway Studios, and as frontman Kurt Abela explains, revolves around themes of anger and vulnerability: “‘Mercy’ abstractly focuses on the narrative of an individual who trusts another enough to be vulnerable, and then has this same vulnerability used against them”.
