Snoke's Misinterpretation

A spell to keep people from seeing your true intentions

What you need

A basil leaf- for protecting you and your secret

A piece of obsidian- for keeping your secret

A small piece of black cloth and string- to hold the ingredients

A small piece of paper and a pen

A black candle

A stick of frankincense incense- to instill a false vision to those you wish to keep the secret from

What to do

Prepare yourself as necessary. Ground, meditate, center. prepare your work space as necessary. Call on the elements, cast a circle, call to a deity, build the magic required for the spell.

Envision what it is you wish to keep secret, keep it in your mind. Write on the paper a way you wish others to see your intentions. Something similar, though easily confused for your actual intentions.

Light the candle and incense, keeping this false vision at the forefront of your mind. Instill the words written on the paper with that vision., waft it through the incense smoke.

Pick up the piece of obsidian and whisper your true intentions to it. Whatever it is that must be kept secret, instill this within the stone.

Wrap the basil leaf around the stone, then wrap the paper around the leaf.

Place this inside the cloth and tie it shut. Once more waft the sachet through the incense, again focusing on the false vision.

Allow the candle and incense to burn out, and keep the sachet on your person as long as you must keep your secret.

Recharge it in incense with a black candle whenever you need to. Tweaking or reaffirming the false vision to hide your secret.

Best of luck and happy casting witches!

Bts reaction-You´re a youtuber and your fans ask you to make a video with them

Request: Hi I was wondering if you could do a bts reaction where you are a YouTube and the fans have been asking for them to be in one of your vlogs so you make it happen.

Author´s Note: I tried my best! I wrote it as if they were your friends and you were spending time with them but never had really filmed them on-camera...If this isn´t what you asked for, feel free to ask me for the request again!

-------

RM (Kim Namjoon)

You had been friends with Namjoons since you had worked together during a talk show. They had invited you to represent the “social media” group and Bts was supposed to be the “music industry” area.

Needless to admit, you were a big fan of their music and performances. However, you understood the overwhelming sensation of being bombarded by too many questions so you made an effort to stay calm and friendly. When the event was over, you had had the opportunity to meet all the memebers and actually become friends with most of them. Little did you knew that Namjoon would be the one to catch you entire attention. He was intelligent, interesting to hear and a wonderful listener too. Other memebers would joke about you two being two seperated pieces of the same puzzle. ARMYs and your fans noticed it too, watching your Tik Toks or short videos together. Really soon, they were begging you to film a vlog with him. You had his number so you thought that, while beingin the same country, you could ask him if he wanted to be in one of youe videos. He, of course, said yes.

“Do I stay here or do you want me to dance like this?”

Jin (Kim Seokjin)

You loved food.

Seokjin loved food.

Many ARMYs were not only Seokjin´s fans but also yours.

Therefore, it was a common thing for you to receive messages about Jin´s famous eating videos. You watched them often and felt really inspoired to, at least, try to cook some Korean food Seokjin had shown during his videos. You filmed yourself, uploaded the video and, in no more than minutes, your fans began spamming you with comments. They were ushering you to film a video with Seokjin but the problem was that he barely knew you. Thus, your followers made sure to inform the idol about your existence. He eventually gave in and started to get to know your channel, becoming addicted eventually. In fact, he was the one who texted you. Establishing an houy, you decided to do an Instagram live together due to distance difficulties.

“Okay but you need to send me the KImchi you made in your video, Y/N-ah”

Suga (Min Yoongi)

You were a vlogger interested in visiting every country you could. You were keen on investigating and knowing different cultutres as well as inform other about it. Recently, you had heard a lot about South Korea´s development as regards the entertainment industry. Therefore, you planned a trip there, explaining to your fans the minimum research you had made about the country. Obviously, most of them recommended you to listen to bands such as Got7, TXT and BTS. The last one had really caught your attention and you soon added various of their songs to your playlist. You even mentioned Suga´s rap on your videos, claiming how talented he was. ARMYs made their magic and, out of nowhere, Yoongi was on your DM´s asking you to collaborate with him

Your heart nearly popped off your chest as you read the message nearly one hundred times. Fortunately, you pulled yourself together and accepted his offer without even thinking.

“Maybe we can talk abot your music and lyrics”-you suggested.

“Love that”-he answered warmly-”Shoot”

Jhope (Jung Hoseok)

You had been working with one of BTS sponsors for a while nowr.

They had contacted you because of your huge influnce among teens and young adults, telling you that they would love to have you in their business. You accepted liking their terms and friendly atmosphere and soon you were travelling around the world participating in events and talk shows. That night you had to be in an award show talking to popular artists and you were extremely excited. However, the company told you to focus in one specific band; BTS. They had come from Korea and this was an opportunity they couldn´t ignore. You made your best to talk to them, which they were pleased to do so, and you even got their manager´s number to contact them on behalf of the company.

Although your chat was brief, Hoseok was nseaky enough to slip his telephone number into your purse. He had tried to be discreet but a camera had caught his action and soon your fans were begging you to have him on your channel.

“I don´t mind all”-he shrugged-” It means I can have more time with you!”

Jimin (Park JImin)

You had filmed yourself doing the “Idol Challenge”, going viral in just days.

Jimin, being always thoughtful with his fans, scrolled through the tag finding their dancings amusing and entertaining. He tried to see every video he could but yours charmed him immediately. You had a bright smile on and you had actually nailed the choreography. A sudden urge to ask you if you wanted him to teach you one of their choreographies overtook him and he found himself texting you. Of course, you said yes.

“ So you step forward and then push your body backwards”-he instructed and watched how you copied his movements-” Pefect! You´re a fast learner”

V (Kim Taehyung)

Kim Taehyung had acknowledge your art in one of his Vlives.

You had panicked due to his recognition.

Your fans nearly smashed their keyboards while writing comments on your most recent video about the event and how you should consider inviting Taehyung for your next video. You wanted to please your viewers, you really did, but insecurities were far stronger. What if he laughed at your poor attempt to convince him? Or maybe he wouldn´t even open your request, claiming that he was far better than a mere youtuber. However, you truly knew he wouldn´t do such thing. He was sincerely kind as well as thoughtfull, so you discarded your fears and texted him. Two days went by before he finally answered you. He apologized for his late response and said he would be pleased  to appear in your video.

“ Y/N is really talented”-he would admit while filming-” Her work really caught my eye”

Jungkook (Jeon Jungkook)

You weren´t aware of the fact that you were playing with Jeon Jungkook until your viewers started commenting it on your video.

They told you that they had seen your username on his Vlive and that it would be a great idea to film a gameplay with him. You were neither the best player among your group nor the worst, and Jungkook knew it because he watched your videos. Therefore, when you asked him through the game´s chat if he wanted to join your streaming, he accepted without hesitation.

“So”-he smirked -” Do you know BTS” (He was trying to flirt ;))

Batman Ninja: Hibridisasi Budaya Pop Cuture Global dengan Budaya Pop Culture Jepang

Source: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7451284/

Tahun ini, baru saja rilis sebuah film yang telah ditunggu-tunggu banyak kalangan. Para fans Batman di seantero dunia dibuat deg-deg-an dikarenakan film Batman Ninja yang membwa tema menarik. Bukan karena kemunculan musuh-musuh aneh nan seram, atau storyline revolusioner. Namun karena film ini menggabungkan daya tarik dari brand ‘Batman’ dengan daya tarik ‘Anime’ yang sekarang sedang disukai banyak orang. 

Animo yang terbangun bukan main. Fandom Batman yang telah terbangun sejak berpuluh-puluh tahun digabungkan dengan popculture anime masa kini menjadi kombinasi sempurna untuk menjaring audiens baik lokal maupun global. Henry Jenkins mengunkapkan bahwa seiring berkembangnya convergence culture bukan hanya informasi yang semakin mudah tersebar, namun juga arus produk budaya yang nantinya membentuk pop cultutre sebagai hasil pertukaran budaya itu sendiri. 

Batman yang sudah menjadi popculture global yang dicintai bukan hanya di Amerika saja, namun juga memiliki basis fans di berbagai negara di mancanegara pastinya bisa menjadi sasaran pasar menggiurkan. Ditambah lagi di era konvergensi ini, anime yang merepresentasikan budaya pop culture Jepang sekarang ini menjadi lahan basah sehingga Warner Bros. sebagai rumah produksi yang menggawangi brand Batman mengawinkan kedua pop culuter ini dengan baik sehingga akan menjaring pasar yang jauh lebih luas.
