#persona med aesthetic

[m0rang0z]

Tw : guns, knife, needles, meds, mental health, mentions of blood (very later on this post)

Headers used in here

If any of the pictures used needs credit, please comment so i can edit the post, since originally, except for the character's in the middle, i don't own any of these

I finally did the mood boards that are related to my persona and my vent oc!

I felt like it would be important to add Charlotte's (my persona) a picture of a jackalope on their mood board, because no, they're not a human girly with bunny ears, they're a humanoid jackalope, which their horns get bigger and their body will get distorted when attacking

Charlotte is more of a edgy and quirky persona that doesn't have a specific style since I'm love with jfashion, kawaii stuff, Jirai Kei, etc etc, so everything i find pretty, I might end up drawing them wearing something similar!

Omgomg I'm going to take this opportunity and Yap about them

𓏲 ๋࣭  ࣪ ˖ Charlotte's does have a species! Even tho idk what to name it and i don't have any definitive history neither for them or even about my vent oc tbh

But basically because a village got cursed and now everybody that's born there, are born with animalistic characteristics, not necessarily only ears, but even being born with a whole ass animal head, or paws, or legs too

𓏲 ๋࣭  ࣪ ˖ Monika is my vent zombie oc that's just like Charlotte, doesn't have a specific background, but i like drawing her related to gurokawa and menhera, or any correlated style/aesthetic/culture

Basically Monika is a personification in a not so related way to my childhood trauma and my mental instability :D

The way i use to vent while drawing her, is drawing her in gruesome scenarios, like ohhhh blood, edgy

Leech Lord: Worries

Tyreen - Troy

Always. Constantly, inescapably, Troy.

He's smouldered in the back of her mind as long as she can remember, like a fever. She couldn't not worry about her twin, even as a child it was impossible to block out the cold tightness in her belly that would rise whenever they were apart for any length of time.

She couldn't play alone for an hour without a pang of concern, was he ok? He'd been in bed days... was there something he'd like out here she could bring for him? Maybe Mom would let them play rock soldiers on the mattress if she found some good ones, ones with the little shiny flecks he liked.

The gnawing bite when he'd set out to hunt and she'd be left home with Pop, when keeping him and dad fed was a real problem even without Mom around anymore, the fear that one day he wouldn't come back. He got tired so easy, he only had one hand to grip rock-faces with, he was stubborn... and the concern he'd not forgive her when she'd lash out with words she didn't really want to say after he'd return each time, lost as to how else she could vent how scared for him she'd been.

He nearly died within a week of hitting Pandora. A week.

She didn't like being far from him after, what if his heart started playing up again, what if he fell? What if he was having a weak spell and she wasn't around to pulse energy into his bones with a gentle squeeze of his cold hand in hers. What if he was pushing himself too hard while she was off-world, what if he wasn't sleeping so he could get that stupid stream recording finished for upload, he never listened! She couldn't trust him to stay safe, so she worried.

Always.

That never changed, but what she worried about did over time.

The fear turned sour - less a concern he was overworking and more he was slacking off. He'd not been meeting deadlines recently and she knew it was because he was getting lazy... what if he was whispering behind her back while she was touching base with Maliwan, plotting with his backstabbing Saints to usurp power to his own parasitical throne?

What if he was turning on her? What if he didn't love her the way she loved him anymore, what if he didn't care about their crusade, their holy right? What if he didn't believe she would reach the glory the universe owed her?

...What if he started saying no.

She worries about her twin constantly, and what would happen if he knew how important he really was.

Troy - his "Meds"

(tw: drug use)

The battered little tin is always in a pocket on his left.

Doesn't matter if he's in sweat-stained rags as he grapples with JK's vanguard in the barrack's arena, or full gold and silk regalia at an off world banquet, it's there, rattling quietly, just a hand's reach away if needed.

And when he needs it, he needs it.

The contents are an unorganised medley of chems. He doesn't plan or measure, that's the realm of addicts after all, and he ain't one regardless of what he's scared the people who know him might think. These are tools, not dependencies.

It's stocked with pressed pills and powder sachets stamped with bandit symbols based on instinct, how he's been feeling lately. What he's afraid will rise from the darkness.

The idea of not having it, not being able to run trembling fingers over the pitted surface as he hides the shake by slipping a hand into his coat when he's feeling off, is terrifying. It hadn't been that many years ago when the dented little box mostly contained painkillers and antibiotics, but that shifted over time. Now its purpose feels more sinister than holding back the waves of illness Pandora would throw at him. Now, the drugs help keep him him.

Mood stabilisers, anti depressants, tranquilisers. Hallucinogenic spore powder pressed into the God King's palm by a Bandit high priest with a bone carved mask and reverence in their touch. High quality Blow from that club he trashed in Promethea... The good shit, always clean, always sourced. He's a King - shady deals in alleyways are beneath what he's sweated blood to craft himself into.

Each hits different, clouds his brain and blow his pupils in unique sensations, and he knows his custom assortment by heart. Knows exactly which to snort in a private stall when he feels a rage that's not him creep up his spine in sponsor negotiations. Knows what pill to discretely pop under his tongue to calm the shakes that snake through his ribs on offworld trips, when the corporate suits around him have their bullshit begin to be drowned out by waves of hissing terror clutching at his guts.

"Anxiety", his specialist had said.

Bullshit.

He knows anxious. He knows anger. He knows fear... This is something else.

The drugs haze it away, uncoil the tendrils of something that's not Troy from his mind. Dull the link. Blur his sight and slow his heart - it's enough.

He hates that tin, but the worry of forgetting it one day keeps his hand slipping into that left pocket like a nervous tic, over and over and over.

The contents are probably killing him, but it doesn't matter, least it's his choice. Only Troy controls Troy.

Only he decides what act he plays.

There's no such fucking thing as ghosts.

Seifa - How she looks

It's a constant worry in the back of her mind when in public, that she's going to be outed. That the aesthetic she wears as Ur-Machina, or her sultry little trade-shark persona will fall apart and she'll be left a laughing stock.

The Sei she shows the world is a carefully curated version and that's how she's known.

That mask is how people recognise her character, it can't slip or it could mean people will see her for what she actually is, and THAT ain't acceptable in the slightest. Nuh-uh. She's been pretending to be someone of importance far too long now to let the reality of what a useless piece of junk she is be noticed.

She doesn't give a shit if it comes across as being vain, that's fine! That's easy to work with, part of the persona. Let them think the side glances at her reflection whenever she passes something shiny are outta pride, all she has to do is throw a quick smirk in and it's totally believable that she's checking herself out, not looking for mistakes.

Is her hair ok, does her foundation look rough? Jacket pulled up weird? Nah she's fine - good, check her skin next pass though cause she's feeling nervous and sweating off makeup doesn't do wonders when you're trying to come across as in control. Suck in the goddamn gut. Ass out, cock a hip - power stance. There we go.

She stresses ABOUT stressing about how much she worries.

Maybe it's not actually normal? She has no basis for comparison so can't be sure - this is how things have always been. This is how she survived, by knowing exactly how she needed to look to shift an outcome to her favor or broadcast a confidence that wasn't entirely real.

Keeps a sharp eye on friends, rivals, people she's interested by to see how they manage - does anyone else does this? Is it just her struggling so badly to keep a persona intact that other people don't even have to give a second thought to? She thinks it is... and that just makes her worry about it falling apart even more.

Sei isn't sure if who she is is the makeup and confidence she wears to match an outfit, or the person she is underneath when she's alone. Or, used to be when she was alone anyway, nowadays it's... nicer. Years together and slow steps they may not have noticed her tentatively making have helped her come to grips with how her friends seem to see her the same either way. She doesn't have to be groomed, dressed well, they see Seifa even if she's not sure she is.

Ven doesn't act differently if her hair is done or not, same way he's still Ven if he's in a coiffed updo or messy locks - she's still Sei to him if she's fully styled or looks like a Rakk nest, and it helped.

JK doesn't alter how they treat her regardless of a face of makeup or not, same Sei, same deep chuckled jokes from them or gentle wisdom on long night talks, it doesn't matter what face she's wearing, just like the mask they use has never changed who it belongs to for her.

Troy speaks to her with the exact same close respect or gentle mockery when she's in full ritual gear as when she's just standing in old socks and loose pajama pants she should have tossed years ago. She's not sure he even sees a difference really, or if what she is to him is something that's visual at all. Maybe she's an idea, or a presence. Maybe what Seifa is to him is what he feels when he sits close enough to accidentally brush against her side.

How he looks at her never shifts - it's her he's seeing, and she matters to him regardless of what role she's playing.

It's helped, having friends. Knowing they see her as what she is and not an act, but it's not changed the constant nervousness that goes hand in hand with acting in public as Saint Ur-Machina, or Seifa A'rosk.

Little steps... little steps.

An Imposter’s Heart

Relationships: Anxceit (Platonic), everyone else is just friendships

Characters: Virgil, Janus “Deceit”, Patton, Logan, Roman, Emile, Remy, various ocs 

Tags: Among Us, Video Games - Freeform, Magic, Friendships, Queerplatonic Relationships, Cursing, Platonic Relationships, Chronic Illness, Card Tricks, Mentions of Quarantine, mentions of burn scars, mentions of vitiligo

Word Count: 3175

Summary: Quarantine sucks, especially if you're a chronically ill streamer and let's player. But it's nice to have friends and partners there to support you all the way.

And to accuse of murder.

AO3

"Is this your card?" Janus smirks when he holds up an eight of hearts, his audience clearly freaking out when it inevitably becomes clear that it is in fact their card. “I thought so, goodbye.” He clicks the button that takes him to the next participant.

“Hello,” he says, tipping his hat. While it has become difficult in getting gigs booked when he’s an amatuer magician (he’s not so much amatuer but young) becoming a MeTuber actually has become a much more entertaining way of living his dream and fucking over other people’s minds with illusions.

It’s much more fun, and much more lucrative.

“You’re that— that magician snake guy. Uhh, Deceit, right?” the participant says, clearly recognizing him. “I recognize you because of your whole—” a hand waves in front, gesturing towards a cheek.

Janus has never been one to shy away from his scars or his vitiligo, embracing them as his aesthetic and as much of his character as he can. And Virgil says it reminds him of scales and he definitely plays that up with makeup, adding to the whole snake character.

Janus nods in the affirmative, “I’m just here wondering if you can guess how I do this card trick. Would you like to guess?”

“Yeah! My grandpa was a magician and really liked to do card tricks. Maybe I can guess it!” they say eagerly.

Janus chuckles, flipping a card back and forth with his fingers. He doubts it. This trick he came up with all on his own. “Wonderful,” he murmurs. He singularly flips one card between two hands, forming a diamond with his thumb. He does it a few times, making sure that his participant sees the card appear and reappear a few times.

“Oh! I know how you do that. You— you take the card and put it between your fingers on your other hand behind your palm—”

“Really?” Janus says, doing it again. He looks down at his hands, feigning looking them over, spreading his fingers wide and then turning his hands back and forth to show that no card rested behind his fingers. “How do you do that?” he scratches his head, biting down a smile when his participant gawks at him.

“No, really, how do you do that?” Janus says with a faux sincere smile.

“I cannot,” his participant says, ducking their head and logging off to show the loading screen.

He chuckles, logging off of Omagle. Turning towards his camera, he smiles mysteriously. “Thank you for watching, I hope to see you on the morrow.” With a flirtatious wave, Janus turns off his camera.

With a sigh, he slumps back into his chair, groaning at yet another video he has to edit soon if he wants to make his weekly update. Being a MeTuber, as fun as it seems and is at times, is utterly exhausting. Not to mention what his roommate and partner deals with on a constant basis.

While he has gotten a bit of a subscriber jump ever since he played a few games of Amidst Us with the Sanders Shows gang, he won’t even begin to explain the hoops and valleys that his roommate went through to get such a jump.

Virgil, or as called by his online persona Corpse Emo, has gotten a 3 million subscriber jump ever since the normies as Janus liked to call them got addicted to his deep and soothing voice. Generally anxious, Virgil had freaked out. A Lot.

But Virgil loves being a MeTuber, Janus knows. He loves reading scary stories and making conspiracy theories about cryptids and other spooky things. But Janus also knows that Virgil gets freaked out by large numbers and performing if he doesn’t have everything handled.

Which is why he’s a faceless MeTuber and just a deep, soothing voice that people love to listen to. Something that Virgil is able to handle and control, to an extent. He obviously can’t help the fact that he has an incredibly recognizable voice or hair or hands.

So he compensates by being the main source of income and stays home while Janus goes out and gets the groceries and food. The little shit is lucky that Janus cares for him.

He hears the door to Virgil’s recording room open, and he blinks lazily. Groaning, he pulls himself up and stretches on his way out, only wearing half his usual attire and layers. With a scratch to his cheek, he leaves to meet Virgil out in the hallway.

“Gamer bladder?” Janus asks dryly when he sees Virgil zip through to the bathroom. He looks much too freaked to truly be in need of the restroom, eye bags darker than usual, so Janus assumes that Virgil needs to de-stress and take a moment to himself. The needs of the people too great and demanding. Janus can sympathize, fans can be the absolute worst sometimes.

Virgil flips him off, closing the door with a sharp thud. “Go entertain my chat,” Virgil’s words come out muffled behind the door, “they keep asking when Snake-Eyed Deceit is coming back on to play. It’s so fucking annoying.”

Janus would believe the indignation if Virgil doesn’t sound so fond. “You know I’m not much of a gamer, Virge,” Janus reminds him patiently.

“Just talk to them,” Virgil mutters, and Janus imagines Virgil curling into their bathtub with his hoodie drawn tight around him, lights turned off to complete the room. “Play a game if I take too long. It’s proximity anyway.”

Janus raps on the door lightly, “Just remember to drink some water. Did you take your meds?”

“Yes, mom,” Virgil rasps out, voice scratchy. “Fuck off.”

With a sigh, Janus raps an affirmative on the wood door and meanders his way down to Virgil’s recording room. He taps out a few greetings in chat, and then moves Virgil’s character blob in game.

“Emo, you’re back!” one of Virgil’s streamer friends cheers, doing a little wiggle in game.

“Not exactly,” Janus says into the mic lowly. A glance down at the chat shows them exploding in greetings to him with which he responds back politely. Doesn’t hurt to try and get new followers.

“Oh, it’s the Snake guy,” another says, and this voice Janus knows all too well.

“Hello to you, too, Roman,” Janus purrs. “Or should I call you Valkyrome? What a particularly creative name. Combining mythologies. Tell me, did you want to be a Valkyrie as a child.”

Roman puffs up, voice flustered, “Perhaps, they are one of the greatest warriors in Norse myths.”

“Oh, yes, I’m sure,” Janus says. He moves into the customization section of the game, changing from Virgil’s signature black and cat ears to yellow and a top hat. He keeps the name however, too lazy to change that. “How is everyone? It’s been a while since I’ve talked to you all. Yes, hello to you as well, chat.”

“Salutations, Snake,” Logic or Logan says monotonously in greeting. “I’m doing well.”

“HI, JAN!” Cupcake Harts, otherwise known as Patton Hart, cheers. Janus can’t help but twitch at the exorbitant cheerfulness, grating on his nerves a bit. Nothing against Patton, but the relentless sunshine can burn just a tad overwhelming sometimes.

Nevertheless, fondness tugs at his heart, “Hello again, Cupcake.”

“Is Corpse okay?” he asks, concern lacing every word. “He didn’t sound so lively last round. Is the kiddo good?”

“The Emo will be alright, but he gave me permission to play a few rounds as his little character for a bit if that would be alright.”

“Of course!” Patton says happily. “We don’t mind, do we?” Everyone else starts to overlap with words of reassurance at that, and Janus smiles. If anything, Janus is glad that Virgil was able to make friends this year. It has boosted the man’s confidence much more than it had been even if there is still some of that self-consciousness and anxiety that lingers.

“Alright, let’s start.” Logan cuts through the cacophony and the game counts down from five to begin.

---

“CUPCAKE WAS FAKING TASKS!” Roman screams when the meeting is called up, repeating it as much as he can. He clicks to vote instantly, not letting Patton explain.

Janus snickers at that, knowing for a fact that he was the imposter along with Remy.

“Roman, kiddo, do you really think that I would fake tasks with so many people in the room? I mean I could be the imposter, but I was alone so many times with Jodie.”

“He was,” Jodie confirms, “I don’t think that Cupcake is the imposter, he could’ve killed me so many times in specimen.”

“No, no Jodie, I mean I could be the imposter but that doesn’t mean that I couldn’t marinate you. I could just be playing a long game.”

“Ugh, he’s doing that double speak again,” Roman groans. “Cupcake, are you the imposter or not?”

“No, but I mean I could be,” Patton says with a mischievous tone that made Janus roll his eyes.

Janus skips his vote quickly, “Let’s just skip, there’s only one person dead.”

A murmur of agreement follows Janus’ declaration.

“Let me postulate this, but I think that the imposters are Deceit and Sleep.”

“How dare you—?” Remy immediately starts in on Logan, false offense filling up his words and making him much louder. Incessant clicking from their keyboard as rage fills their heart. “I will have you know that I was nowhere near the kill. You know what, I think it’s Specs, actually, he keeps framing me.

“Well, let’s settle down now,” Emile, otherwise known as Dr. Stitch, tries to intervene. “It’s only the first round of the game after all.”

“Uh, no can do, doc, not when my integrity is on the line.”

“What integrity,” Virgil mutters, and Janus whirled around in Virgil’s desk chair to see him leaning on the frame of the door.

“Is that Emo??” Patton squeals happily, “Hi! Are you taking over for Deceit? The game’s just started.”

Virgil shakes his head even though the only ones who can see are himself and Janus, his thick purple-brown curls falling in front of his brown eyes, “Nah, let Dee have a turn murdering everyone, I know he enjoys it.”

“Liess and slander,” Janus hisses, purposefully elongating his ‘s’ to make him seem more snake like.

“Does that mean Dee’s an imposter!?!” Roman screams as the meeting panel falls away and the little characters start running around crazily.

“I’m not the imposter, I’m not the imposter,” Janus lies reassuringly, shooting a dark glare at Virgil behind him as the taller one stifles his giggles, hiding the amusement in his eyes behind his hair.

He settles into Janus’ lap, completely obscuring the screen and his view of the game. “Emo, please let me play the game.”

“Hmm,” Virgil hums, tucking his head underneath Janus’ chin, a feat in and of itself given the height difference, “no, I’m comfortable. I’ll just sit here and talk to chat.”

With a sigh, Janus continues the arduous task of running around in the game with the much difficult challenge of having an emo in his lap. Virgil, for his part, looks very content and Janus can’t help but run his fingers through curly purple-brown hair.

“Hello, Roman.”

Roman yelps, “Who said that? How can you see me?” The lights in the game have been turned off and have been for a while, and Janus is taking advantage of the fact that Roman has been left in the far left hand corner of the map where people rarely go.

“Oh, Roman, Roman, Roman,” Janus says, tongue curling on his name with a knife. Roman screams, protesting and shouting for Janus not to do it. “Sorry about that, Ro,” Janus says with a manic giggle as he slices through Roman’s character.

“Big yikes,” Virgil murmurs. “No, chat, I’m not gonna do that, stop suggesting it. Anyway, yeah, I’m gonna be having some major collabs soon with some artists and I have so many cool projects on the way. Thank you guys so much for everything. We wouldn’t have gotten this far without you.”

“Aww, is that you, Emo? Are you talking to chat while Deceit plays?” Leslie pipes up, running close and in circles around Janus’ little blob character.

“Yup,” Virgil pops the last letter, “and guess what?”

“What?” Leslie asks just as Janus’ kill cooldown hit zero.

Janus clicks kill and Leslie screams in protest, her outrage cutting off when the body flops down onto the map. Virgil snorts out a laugh, cackling as Janus smiles indulgently, running around crazily on the map.

A new meeting is called up, this time two people have been killed, clearly shown on screen as having died: Roman and Leslie.

“Guys, guys, guys. I think Remy is the imposter,” Patton is saying. He’s the one who reported Leslie’s body“I’m pretty sure I saw him vent in electrical.”

“Excuse me, Kingdom Hearts!” Remy interrupts rudely. “I wasn’t even in electrical this round. You should get your prescription checked.”

“We needn’t vote here,” Logan interjects sagely. “We are, after all, on seven. But, need I remind you that Remy has been suspicious two rounds now and this time two bodies have been killed. I believe it would be wise to vote him off.”

“Uh uh, glasses here. I know you’re Mr. Big Brain and everything, but I am telling you that it ain’t me,” Remy takes a large sip of whatever drink he has on hand to emphasize his point.

With almost agreed silence, everyone votes and it’s an almost unanimous decision to vote off Remy, causing him to squawk.

“Oh no, you guys really voted for him? You guys voted him off?” Patton is saying as Remy starts screaming curse words and regret.

“What do you mean? You’re the one who said that you caught him venting—”

Janus starts to walk off, the conversation dying out the further he went. He walks to a secluded side of the map, making sure that no one can see as he waits for the cooldown.

“Think you can pull it off?” Virgil asks.

“Without a doubt,” Janus responds.

“What are you guys talking about?” Jodie walks up, suspicion in her question.

“Oh nothing,” Virgil starts, “except this—” and Janus clicks to kill.

Virgil starts talking to both chat and the other players as Janus starts his murder spree quietly. The two of them work as partners, Virgil talking and distracting the players as Janus offs them one by one.

Janus accidentally kills a person in front of someone else, but luckily he didn’t seem to see. “Okay, so I think this was Dragon,” Jace is saying.

Dragon immediately protests, “What do you mean? Where’s the body?”

“Emo, you just walked into admin, right? Did you see Dragon run out?” Jace asks.

“Um, maybe, I think so, yeah?” Virgil says, playing dumb.

“Then it’s Dragon. They were the one to kill, I saw them run out of admin just as the body flopped. Emo, back me up here.”

“Wait, what? I wasn’t even near—”

“AND they were sus last round, so.”

Quite easily, Dragon is voted off, but the game continues.

“I don’t get it, I thought it was Dragon and Sleep,” Jace says.

“Unless it was a self-report,” Logan posits. “You could’ve been caught by Dragon or Emo and you just reported to throw suspicion off yourself.”

Janus called up the meeting button, and Virgil got ready to speak, “Well, we could always 50/50 it. One of them has to be the imposter, right? We’re sure we got out one of them earlier with Remy and if it wasn’t Dragon, then it has to be Jace.”

“No, listen, Emo, I am begging you. I am on my knees, literally in real life right now, don’t vote for me, I am innocent. Please, I’m literally on my knees right now! It’s not me!!”

“Patton, I’m trusting you here,” Logan says. “Do you really think it’s Jace and not Emo?”

“Emo wouldn’t do that to us,” Patton says, though a bit unsurely, “and here’s the thing if Emo’s the imposter then he’ll win and get his video, but if he’s not then we win as crewmate. Either way, it’s a win-win situation!”

“What? Guys! That’s not how this works,” Jace pleads. “Please, it’s not me! I’m serious.”

But too late, the votes come in and Jace is voted out, his character yeeted out into space. And the game continues.

Logan screams in realization, “Patton, I trusted you! It’s Emo, it’s Emo. Oh my goodness. Patton, run! Run!”

“Logan, I have been waiting for this moment my entire life—” Virgil says manically as Logan starts to lose it, running around and screaming at Patton that he trusted Patton and that they voted off the wrong person.

Virgil calls a sabotage and starts to really race after Logan.

“Logan, I was right!” Patton says, slowly trailing after them just to keep up with the conversation. “That means Emo does get to have his video. And I get to be in it! Either way, it’s a win!”

Janus loses it, laughing just as hard as everyone else when Virgil finally manages to click the kill button, the victory screen loading up just as quickly as everyone’s voices come back loud and cheery.

“Good game, everybody—”

“Emo, that was hilarious—”

“Patton, I trusted you—”

“YOU GUYS VOTED ME OUT???—”

Virgil smiles up at Janus from his perch on Janus’ lap, contentment swimming in those brown eyes. Janus is helpless to smile back, even if he’s a bit overwhelmed by the noises. He nuzzles the top of Virgil’s head, burying his face in dark purple-brown curls.

“That was an amazing game, oh my gosh—”

Virgil buries himself into Janus’ warm body, a catlike grin stretching across his face. “Good job, Jan,” he whispers, making sure that chat doesn’t hear the name.

“I think you should be getting that congratulations, little Emo nerd,” Janus says dryly. “You got the final kill of the game after all.”

“Hey, Emo and Dee cheated! They worked together—!”

“We were using one character, jackass! It’s not our fault you guys didn’t think it was us!” Virgil yells back in retaliation, laughter edging on his words. More protests and compliments and whatnot continued as the gamers started arguing over each other again.

Warmth wraps around Janus like a warm hug and he wraps his own arms around Virgil as he continues heckling and joking around with friends, a new game already started. Virgil squirms in his hold to sit in his lap properly so that Virgil’s back is to Janus’ chest, moving to get comfortable.

“Alright, we won’t play together again—” Virgil is saying. Janus just holds Virgil in his lap tightly, contentment curling around him and settling into his stomach like a warm meal.

Sometimes life sucks, giving you chronic illness or vitiligo and burn scars. But sometimes life doesn’t suck so much when you have friends by your side and laughter surrounding you.

Janus Playlist Analysis

Here’s my final analysis of every song, more thought was put into some than others based purely on how much I had to say. I honestly loved them all.

“Black Hole Sun”: Snake imagery  👀  “In disguises no one knows Hides the face, lies the snake” is such a perfect description of Janus it’s a great opener for the playlist.

“It Seemed the Better Way”: Chalk full of religious references, a definite reference to how much Catholicism has formed Thomas’s worldview. The truth isn’t always what it seems

“Anywhere”: “It’s a beautiful world if you’ve been lied to” Really shows how little Janus trusts the world and how he wants to make Thomas aware so he can protect himself. In other words, the blindfold off.

“Talking at the Same Time”: The world is great for the rich and sucks for everyone else and thems the facts of life. Janus wants Thomas to stop lying to himself about how the world really is.

“all the good girls go to hell”: First of all, THE RELIGIOUS IMAGERY IS BACK. Second of all, works perfectly with Janus’s view of “sometimes you have to do bad things to do what’s best for yourself”.

“Denial”: This song ties right into Janus telling Thomas he’s making decisions with a blindfold on.“Don’t just shut your eyes closed”: OPEN YOUR EYES THOMAS.“Don’t just shut your eyes closed. Not until I get it off my chest”: He just want’s to be heard, which makes sense why he was so happy that he didn’t get pushed away in this latest video by Thomas and Patton

“Trust in Me”: First of all, snake imagery obviously. Second of all, Janus feels like he needs to trick and convince people to listen and trust him, otherwise nobody would ever listen to him. Thus, why he constantly disguises himself in order to give his opinion.

“Razzle Dazzle”: Perfect explanation for Janus’s whole “extra aesthetic”. If he’s grandiose, nobody will pay attention to what he’s really saying and whether it’s true or not. I love this song and I can’t believe how well it works for Janus.

“When the Chips Are Down”:  A song all about how, at the end of the day, it’s every person for themselves and everyone will act in their own self-interest. The perfect embodiment of Janus’s character and if his character had to be narrowed down to just one song, it would be this one

“Mandy Goes to Med School”: here’s my full post. In short, Janus knows that sometimes you have to hide what you’re doing to help yourself, just like Mandy does.

“I Put a Spell on You”: Janus just wants Thomas to believe he wants what’s best for him.“I can’t stand it cause you put me down” It hurts to constantly get pushed from the discussion and be constantly portrayed as the villain.

“Evil Night Together”: Honestly this is just a very sexy song and made me fall a little bit more in love with Janus. This could, perhaps, be about Janus wanting the other “dark sides” to not leave him and stick with him (specifically Virgil). Fits perfectly with his “villain” persona.

“Cabaret: Don’t Tell Mama”: I have two interpretations of this song. First, Patton is Mama. Patton doesn’t know everything he’s doing to help Thomas, but knows he won’t approve if he does. So “don’t tell mama.” Alternatively: Thomas is Mama. This song is pre-CLBG. Deceit is keeping himself and all the “dark” sides from him and won’t let any of the other sides reveal them.

“You’re a Cad”: I feel like this is Janus @ Virgil. He “knows the truth”. “What’s the point pretending that you could be a better man. Just give in, since you always end up right back where you began” and “You’re a rascal and a rove, a villain and a crook”. This is a very similar train of thought to Remus telling Virgil he can never stop being the bad guy. Virigl will always be one of the “dark” sides and he can’t escape it just by pretending to be a light side. Janus just wants him to come back and be who he truly is.

“As Far as I Can See”: Pure angst, ya’ll. “As far as I can see, nobody loves me.” “As far as I can see, nobody’s listening,” “…when I’m crying out nobody cries back for me.” Deep down, he just wants people to listen to him and love him.

“Criminal”: Janus acceptance arc! “Cause I’m feelin’ like a criminal and I need to be redeemed” He wants to “be redeemed.” “I’ve got to cleanse myself of all these lies til I’m good enough for him.” He’s willing to tell the truth, something he never does, if it makes Thomas accept him so that he’ll actually listen to his advice.

“Change”: Now we’re getting into Janus’s mindset for his acceptance arc. He can feel the dynamic is shifting and he has to change with it.“Change is a powerful thing. I feel it coming in me. Maybe by the time this song is done I’ll be able to be honest.” That is the biggest sign of change. He’s willing to go against his very purpose and be honest. Things are changing and if it means he can keep Thomas safe, he’s willing to change with it.

“Devil in the Details”: Janus is torn. Does he trust the “light” sides and Thomas? Should he be vulnerable? Or keep protecting himself with lies? “Well I made amends in the general sense, but the devils in the details.” Sure, they said they’d listen to him, but they didn’t really get to have a deep talk because Thomas’s mental health was so poor. Will the trust hold up when he’s not so urgently needed? “I am the first one I deceive, if I can make myself believe the rest is easy” He can convince the others to trust him easily. The first step is convincing himself. Once he himself believes he can trust each other, then they can move forward. But he’s not quite sure yet, especially after Roman broke his trust by laughing at his name. Maybe it would be easier to just go back?

“Come Little Children”: A couple interpretations here. One is he’s trying to bring Virgil back to the “dark side”. The second is this is to Character Thomas and the other sides. “I'll show thee the way through all the pain and the sorrows.” If they just listened to him, he could do his best to protect them as much as he can.

“Into the Unknown”: This is the one I’m probably the most unsure about. It seems like Janus is very unsure about what is to come. He wants to be accepted, but he doesn’t know what will happen next. Thomas needs him, though. “If dreams can't come true then why not pretend?” “Of golden  memories the loveliest lies of all.” The song is laced with mentions of lying. He is a a part of Thomas in every way, from being able to act and “pretend” to perhaps making past memories better than they actually were. Thomas needs him, but the future remains uncertain for Janus’s place in the system.

In 1998, Rob Halford of metal band Judas Priest came out during an interview, later describing the incident as a "slip of the tongue."

Many years later, Marufuji Ryo, widely known by the nickname Hell Kaiser, whose public persona draws inspiration from Judas Priest’s aesthetic, makes a poorly-thought joke on a chilly Friday morning in mid-November after accidentally skipping his meds. Things go from there.

TLDR: Hell Kaiser Ryo comes out in the style of Rob Halford (meaning: completely by mistake), has a heart-to-heart with his brother over text message, forgets to take his medication for over a week, and scares the living shit out of everyone.

I wrote a somewhat humorous fanfic.  

[angelsighs-blog1]

( park chanyeol, male, he/him, twenty - five. ) — CHO JAEHWAN, better known to the authorities as ANGEL, has been working for the kumiho for around FOUR YEARS as a MEDIC. rumor has it, they can be ASTUTE & METICULOUS but also MOODY & FACETIOUS which is why tired but focused eyes, powder blue surgical gloves, blood - soaked gauze and perfectly aligned medical tools remind me of them. ( jovi, she/her, 24, pst. )

okay so this is going not be poetic or like ... anything just. a bunch of rambling LMAO

born in gangnam on february 11, 1994 to two nationally renowned surgeons and all his life, it was believed he would follow in their footsteps. he was well on his way to the medical field for as long as he can remember, his parents filling his head with medical textbooks, saw his first cadaver when he was eight, even had him watching surgery tapes when he was barely thirteen years old. blood  &  guts were something he became  immune  to, even  fascinated  by. to the point where he was unfazed by some of the goriest scene. horror movies soon became his favourite genre, stephen king books lining his shelves at home as a teenager. posters from cult classics like nightmare on elm street, saw, scream plastered upon dark grey bedroom walls. his passion for the arts was of course shot down by his parents, so he put it aside to please them.

his parents always thought it was strange, but they couldn’t do much about it---- they were constantly working. in fact jaehwan would argue the housestaff had more of a hand in raising him than his actual parents did, but he keeps this to himself--- he keeps most things to himself. despite his upper class upbringing, jaehwan never carried himself with proper etiquette : used profanity rather often, and some might say he has a resting bitch face--- while he did manage to maintain perfect posture, he always looks disinterested in whatever’s going on around him and to a certain extent, that was true. he was always very much aware of the fact that everything he had in life was handed to him, and he often felt bored of that. 

high school he fell into the popular crowd considering his status, but he was always that mysterious and brooding type. he never intentionally tried to include himself, he was just often invited--- everyone wanted to be friends with him, and he never considered any of them close enough for the title. not that any of them really had a chance considering he spent most of his time studying. his parents put a lot of pressure on him to have perfect grades, which he achieved, and this inevitably helped him get into a prestigious university in seoul to study pre-med.

college was when jaehwan started to experiment more with socialising: drinking more, getting high, sleeping around ( this is also the time he realised he was bisexual, and there was no hesitation in coming out, though his parents hardly reacted / do not ever address it ) and he was finally figuring out how to enjoy himself. he enjoyed the freedom. his parents even invested in a house for him close to the university, and he would often host parties ( his halloween parties were the best the campus had ever seen. ) but even with so many people surrounding him, he often found people shallow and he lacked interest in forming actual friendships with anyone. it’s not that he thought he was better than everyone else, he just found it hard to relate to people. he could smile & laugh along with them, even dance and look like he’s having the time of his life, but that would be thanks to the alcohol. as soon as it fades away, he’s back to a closed off and distant persona, standing around with his arms crossed and sighing defeatedly at just about everything.

college was mostly a breeze though, always the top of his class, but jaehwan never felt that any of his achievements were fulfilling ---- it always felt like life was happening to him rather than him taking any sort of control over his life. so instead of following through with his first year surgical internship, he ended up dropping out--- why? because by the time he was twenty-one, he had gotten involved with the kumiho.  becoming involved with the kumiho was more of a strange way of compromising with himself, because he knew he had a gift--- he just didn’t want to waste away in the hospital setting. see, jaehwan gets bored easily, and the life the kumiho offered him was so much more thrilling. 

his decision to opt out of becoming a surgeon left his parents wallowing in disappointment, causing a rift within the family ( not that there was much a difference, they were never that close anyway )  ----  but he hasn’t looked back since.

he’s extremely organised, and tends to wash his hands more frequently than one really needs to. his house is always pristine, and half the time it’s his own work rather than hired maids.

he loves rainy / cloudy weather, anytime the sky looks particularly gloomy.

he has glasses but often switches between them and contacts.

he switched his major to study film ( much to his parents’ dismay ) and now has a degree and is currently seeking inspiration for his first project, and he gained a large following on social media after finally pursuing art as a hobby. 

he has an eye for dark / grungy ( ? ) aesthetics and people seem to enjoy his posts / insight.

he’s lowkey weird.. but he’s hot.. so..  LMAO

he is ... not exactly ready to settle down quite yet so he’s good for casual flings but not a serious relationship or anything like that

YBC Hot Takes: Where Did The Party Go?

And it’s back again, after a short break while we cleared the snakes and the blood out of the lecture hall and refreshed the donut tray. Please to be remembering that the banquet of Patrick’s organs is for Demonstration Purposes Only, and not to be consumed, thank you very much. Also, stick with the oranges, because the apples are all filled with blood. Hey, I don’t make the rules back in the Peterick Institute Mess Hall, I just wear the tinfoil hats.

Today, we’re hot-taking Where Did The Party Go? - arguably the funnest bop to murder to on the whole album. The boys have said that this was the first song to have gelled for them when they started writing and making music again, and the lyrical message encapsulates the reason they gave for why they came back together when and how they did.

Where Did The Party Go? - Kill Your Darlings, Darling--They're Already Dead

Patrick and the parts of himself that have scattered in terror are experiencing two very different realities. Patrick is in a club-like party atmosphere but the partygoers are all zombies, while his parts/friends are running through a deserted, abandoned hospital.

Everybody was writing songs about “partying in the club” but nobody was writing songs for the kids who were outside the club, or really examining that aesthetic with a critical or ironic or even a little bit cheeky of an eye. So the boys came back to Save Rock and Roll from a little bit of its own hype. Let’s go down, down...

Patrick is listening to his hallucinations/demons/zombies living in his reality as he hunts down the parts of himself that are fleeing from this monstrous and distorted interaction between him and the world.

The (real) nurse at the desk points him to the hallway where Joe, Andy, and Pete ran, the girl in the wheelchair guides him into the exam rooms that the other guys have run through.

But while these entities are guiding him, they're not doing it altruistically or without price. They draw him further into the distorted post-apocalyptic world they inhabit by talking to and interacting with him.

In the zombie party room, Patrick is tangled up with personas from hospital staff (helper-archetypes), to other patients/inmates (colleagues), to football jocks and club kids and old folks (fans, critics, and the public).

Then he meets Naughty Nurse who is dressed as a parody of a caregiver worn by a stripper. The hospital staff were wearing actual scrubs, but Naughty Nurse is clearly a distortion--a costume worn by a stripper/performer (whose function is transactional rather than restorative--she's there to take rather than give).

Naughty Nurse appears as a caregiver, but is there in the capacity of torment in the form of titillation (the chief function of striptease performances) in a transactional milieu. Strippers perform for money by creating an illusion of intimacy in exchange for financial compensation. The intimacy of performance within the industry (the financial/moral support, the yes-men, the fawning, the adoration from audiences) is largely illusory...and if the transaction does not provide satisfaction, then that intimacy/support is cut right off (like a hand) or choked off (like a cord wrapped around the neck of your guitarist who is really your creative side in human form).

The party zombies are taking meds and drugs and IV sedatives to (self-)medicate (much as it's not so hard to go from Step One-Drink, Step Two-Make Mistakes, Step Three-Pretend You Don't Remember...). In the distorted world of celebrity when your star power has faded or never sparked enough to catch fire or failed expectations (couldn't get booked at the opening of a letter), the difference between a dance and a post-mortem twitch is hard to discern, and something that looks like intimacy can be an emotionless transaction.

His Confidence (Pete) is desperately trying to get a line out to the outside world--to reach out (perhaps in a blog post written late at night after too much to drink). To call for help from the outside via a faulty connection and a distortion-filled line.

His Integrity (Andy) is desperately seeking disinfection (purification, cleansing) and treatment to stop the hemorrhaging of a wound to the core, and gritting through the pain, hiding out in a closet just trying to protect itself.

His Creativity (Joe) is desperately seeking inspiration to go on. Stuck searching the cabinets and drawers of an empty room for a bit more to give, some way to turn it around. Searching for a way out, in between bouts of terrifying paralysis when confronted with the angry demon of a Patrick (his own self, soulless) without his confidence or his integrity or his creativity.

Only the embittered, delusional shell views the world through a sulphur-and-brimstone gaze in a dark twisted parody of the golden sunlight he's always cast over his work.

Without his soul parts, the only way out he can see is for him to murder his Creativity--choke off his wonderful weirdness and brilliance in order to provide the prepackaged, tame, predictable, made-by-committee, marketable, meaningless stuff that the industry wants.

Bearing in mind that music consumption itself was changing drastically, the music that was being marketed as mainstream had shifted, and a lot of people banking on something that had been relatively predictable for quite some time were losing a lot of fucking money banking on those expectations they thought were a healthy, living organism, but were really just the post-mortem twitches of something that was already dead and turning into something else.

On any blogs or social media you may have, do you try to maintain a certain aesthetic or persona? Is this consistent across platforms or just specific to one? Not really. My less-appropriate sense of humor comes out more on Tumblr, and in some areas I type in all lowercase because I find it more aesthetically pleasing.

He's talented and unapologetically unique as all hell, but I do noooot like him as a person from what I know. What is the last party or event you were invited to but declined? Why? Are there certain events that you might be invited to which you are likely to decline? An old friend's Thanksgiving-ish friends party. I was tempted, but it was explicitly stated to BYOB and weed and I just didn't want to be in an environment where there was lots of drinking and smoking something that's still illegal in the state. I was already uncomfortable enough last time I went to a party at her house and there was so much smoking. You were also supposed to bring a piece of Thanksgiving food to contribute, but I can't cook and I didn't wanna bother Mom about it. For the last question, it's just about a "never" situation where I'm invited to a real event besides family birthday parties or meet-ups with Dad and his wife. Off the top of my head, I'd never go to a club if I was invited. Imagine your life three years from now as if things have gone perfectly, better than you would typically predict. What do you see? Living with a happy Sara in the mountains, very successful in photography and thus financially stable (or hopefully a bit beyond that), excelling in school, back to my healthy weight, my mental health is great and I'm on way fewer meds, Sara's able to breed snakes and write as a real career, COVER ME IN TATS BITCH, more piercings, a treatment/medication for hypotonia has been discovered, my niece and nephew have met Sara and been taught our relationship is not wrong (I doubt it though :x), I'm happy, it'd be nice to write with more people, I have at least one poem published, Teddy, Venus, Kaiju, Roman, Mitsu (now totally comfortable being held), and Sara's babies are still alive and kickin', Venus and Crowley have had a clutch, Sara's PMDD is under control, Dad's stopped smoking, Mom is in a healthy, fulfilling relationship, both Mom and Sara are at the weights they aim for, Nicole is with a guy she truly loves and he reciprocates properly, Mom has been treated for depression and has forgiven Dad... Man, lots of things. This question really made me look forward to creating this future. What about your personality makes you good at your job? Alternatively, why do you find yourself uniquely suited for or drawn to your ideal career path? No job, so I'll just respond to the second. Photography is pretty surprising as it requires serious communication, which y'all know isn't my forte in the least. However, I'm so passionate about it and feel knowledgeable enough on it to be confident. Plus I just love showing how beautiful the world is capable of being. Do you find it valuable or important to respect those in positions of authority simply because of their position? Does this vary based on what that position is? Nope. I'm not gonna respect an absolute asshole just because you're of a high position. It doesn't vary to me, either. Do you find that you often desire and/or enjoy sex? If not, why not and how do you negotiate those feelings with your partner? If so, what is it that you enjoy about it in particular? I'd say I desire it to a normal degree, and yeah, I enjoy it. Why, #1, it's such a passionate and intimate way to communicate how much you love and trust your partner. Then I mean it feels good so. How many times have you seriously injured yourself? Idk. Seriously... three? When was the last time you were a passenger in a car and sat in the back? In the back, idk. Did you attend Sunday School as a child? Yes.

When I was getting into my rock and metal love, I went through them and listened to albums with cool covers or bands I knew she loved, and the first happened to be Ozzy. :') Does the weather affect your mood?

I just hope they don't change. When was the last time you listened to new music? Uhhh recently.

Do you ever feel like you were born in the wrong era? What decade would you most like to have grown up in? No. I'm good with the '90s. What was your most memorable concert experience? Only been to one. :| But Alice was great. If you have any, are you close with your sibling(s)? Has it always been that way? Not very, and no, at least with my younger sister. We were pretty close.

Have you ever had to wear a uniform to school? Do/did you prefer wearing it than regular clothes? In middle school. Hell no. What’s the last thing you got really excited over? Going to Sara's.

heyy!! i really want to start my own studygram but i have no idea how to start out and how to make friends/gain followers etc. do you have any tips?

Hi! Here are a few tips on all those things:

create a cool username - generally, study related is going to be best for a studygram! If you’ve got a Tumblr, you can always use the same username. I tried but just ‘emmastudies’ was taken and deleted so I opted for the next best option!

organise your profile - personalised icon are really popular on Instagram, so you could make one and save it to your phone. Canva.com and flaticon.com are great sites for icons! Some people use their own photos or a selfie so just make sure it’s high quality! Your bio is important too. You can design it any way you like. Most people will include their name and education level/system (high school, university, etc). This is completely up to you. If you want to have the gaps between like mine (@emmastudiess), type it on your notes and then copy + paste. Remember to add in your website if you have one!

develop a feed that you like!! - some people place a lot of emphasis on having an “aesthetic feed” but I feel like whilst it plays a part, it isn’t everything. I think it’s more important to have similar(ish) photos rather than everything being exactly the same. My feed is similar between photos but isn’t absolutely identical. I often will have photos that look brighter than the others, etc, and I’ve come to a point where it doesn’t bother me. I used to be extremely conscious about my feed and wanted it to be heavily edited like some other accounts but I felt it was unnatural and too washed out so I do a very very simple editing process now. If you’ve followed me for a good couple of months, you may remember a while ago I had a little break from Instagram because I got so stressed about my feed. It so wasn’t worth it and after people said “we like natural!”, “you don’t have to make it perfect”, it made me feel much better. It is more important to take just take normal photos that are high quality than get stressed about having “the perfect feed”. I did a post on how I edit my Instagram pictures which you can see here!

take good quality photos - I use an iPhone 6 so anything you can have is great! Try to maximise natural lighting in each picture. I don’t use any third-party apps for editing since I feel they dramatically reduce the quality of each photo but that is up to you. Here are some other tips for pictures!

be active in the studygram community - follow anyone you find inspiration. You may be lucky to get some follow backs. I try to check out any studygrams that follow me! Like and comment on photos that you like. I would recommend taking caution when commenting on photos, especially if you’re doing it mainly for getting recognition out of it. It can sometimes come across as ingenuine if you’re commenting on a million posts a day. But commenting and engaging with posts that you do actually like is great. I try to leave a few comments on posts that I particularly like each day!

use hashtags - this is a great way to promote your photos! Go with the most popular like #study #studygram #school #studies #studyinstagram. I will often hashtag what is in my photos, for example #muji or #bulletjournal. You could even make a hashtag for just your posts.

tag brands - this is another good way to get your posts noticed. If someone is checking out a brand’s Instagram, they may go through the tagged photos to use their products in action.

be relatable - I think this is super important. I’m always myself on Instagram. If you’ve watched my livestreams, you’ll know I seem to ramble on and on about random topics! I try to keep my entire Instagram genuine and real. I’m just a normal girl and I want people to see me that way! People love to connect with a real persona!

interact with your followers - this is so important and actually really fun! I love replying to comments, messaging with others and helping where I can! I feel so lucky to be able to interact with a whole load of different people each day. It is truly the most awesome thing of social media!

post regularly - this doesn’t necessarily mean every single day! I post once a day but even once every two or three is enough. Obviously, the more active you are, the quicker you’ll gain followers.

message people that you like - most people are happy to have a conversation so if you like someones blog or watch their story and you like that thing too, you should message. I talk to so many people on Instagram about TV shows because I share all the ones I’m watching :’-) Otherwise, you can simply send something like:

Hey! I love your blog! I saw we were mutuals and wanted to see if you fancied chatting? :-)

Hi! I really loved your post on … I just wanted to let you know!Hello!

Thank you for following me! It’s cool that we’re mutuals. I thought I’d introduce myself! I’m …

Love your posts! Can’t believe you’re following me. I’m …

Word from the Architect: A Sky’s Sanctuary on Ouranos

Word from the Architect: A Sky’s Sanctuary on Ouranos

“She is the primal Greek god personifying the sky” shared the Group Art Director Gian Marco Campanino. Although inspired, in a veiled manner, by the mythological meaning of ‘Ouranos’, the architect shares how he utilized this 50-metre canvas, to explore this abstract notion through design.

“No naturalistic figures of the sky were represented anywhere” confirms the designer.  Instead, the ethereal concept of the sky tells a story of darkness and light, space and texture, and the artistic harmony of contrast. 

“Darkness and luminosity were re-interpreted by dark Macassar ebony wood” shares Gian Marco Campanino. “In opposition to huge floor-to-ceiling panoramic windows, full of light.” 

Designed to invite the rumbling cliffs of the Eastern Med to meet you at breakfast, a charter escape on Ouranos ensures the rustic elegance of your destination is every bit a part of your interior space. 

Texture and shape however, play an entirely abstract role on board Ouranos. “Delicate bright suede covered wall and ceilings; stillness of clear skies were translated into clean lines, to emphasize the sense of purity” shares Gian Marco Campanino, translating the artistic emblem of nature into each and every silhouette. 

Paying homage to this idea further is her ‘less-is-more’ aesthetic. As a 2016 build her contemporary space is masterfully executed through a minimalist white-black contrast, as well as punchy artworks “wisely placed all around the main ambients of the yacht, as accents to the pure interiors.” To recreate, in the very accordance to her name, a “gleam of the stars.” 

And yet, even with her stripped back interior persona, she retains her exterior character almost anywhere in the world. Whether melting into the rustic allure of Montenegro or the white washed walls of Mykonos, the pencils parts of Uniellé Yacht Design come alive in a cutting-edge body that breaks ocean waves in style. 

To match her modern allure, is her Admiral build. As one of the most silent yachts, in noise and vibration levels on the market, she whisks up to 12 guests across 6 rooms into a motionless cotton cloud escape,  at sea level. 

M/Y Ouranos is available to charter with IYC in the East and West Mediterranean throughout both summer and winter seasons.
