[whataweirdfeeling]

HELLO welcome back to another WAWF interview EXCLUSIVE

With this also being our first official collab Fraud Issue shot by photographer @wavechrist and edited by our original curator @vyngak WAWF has some gifts It must be WAWFchrist-mas

Read below for an exclusive interview and some behind the scenes moments with new artists of WAWF

Find out about all the big plans they have in store

Who are we here with?

Floaty-man, Floaty… pretty flacko jr.. shoutout to ASAP

So you would say ASAP is one of your main influences then?

Hell yeah ASAP is one of my biggest influences. I never really was the one to be like ‘I’m inspired by people’, but I was heavily influenced by like certain people..and they help me be my best self. So now.. my goal is to be better than them cause I’m pretty sure that’s what they would

So would ASAP be a bigger influence to you in fashion or music?

Definitely the music too, ASAP gave me more of the fashion tip. Like the ok to add my swag to my music instead of just trying to push my message I can also add my personality and I can also add how I dress myself and just how I live my life daily.. Regardless of what it look like I can still be on some fly sh*t

Rap name?

Floaty

Where does that name come from?

I always used to get in trouble a lot so when I used to get in trouble I used to stare.. it was the only thing you could do like.. couldn’t play the game or nothing so I would like go outside and literally look at clouds or something.. or when I was in class too I would go to ISD. ISD you get in trouble, you’d be in school but not in school you know what I’m sayin

What can we expect from Floaty in the future?

Expect a lot of shit.. I would say this cause I’m a renaissance man of art. Expect for me to get into short films. But music real heavy, fashion real heavy you know, events real heavy. But short films is what we adding to the list as well

How did you find out about WAWF?

It’s just all organic, it’s really shoutout to Wave. Shoutout to wavechrist cause you know that was the fine point it was just all divine you know. He was just telling me this is who you need to connect with and it was a wrap from there

Who are we here with?

Hello good people of the planet earth and all the other space-lings out there in the world.. I go by the name of ShowwwTimee. That’s with 3 W’s and 2 E’s

Why 3 W’s and 2 E’s

Its always about individuality and how you can express yourself a little bit differently. Plus we not tryna get sued by the actual Showtime tv network you know.. But if they ever wanna collab and put ShowwwTimee on Showtime we could do that

And on a personal note if we wanna get on numerology type time the real name is Shomari and so every name in my full name has 7 letters.. and you know what that means

Tell us about your art

The first art form is definitely film, that’s where all of the inspiration comes from. And then.. I picked up sewing over the pandemic.. It’s been a couple years now since we been doing that. At first I was making the clothes to go with the films, but now the films gotta support the clothes at this point cause I just hit some sort of momentum with the designing and I just can’t stop really. So now I gotta make my films around the pieces, make storylines off these characters that you see i’m making

Describe your fit

We got rainbow boots with tool kinda material for the laces.. shoutout Walmart on that. Thrifted sweatpants.. yellow sweatpants, primary.. We got the yellow blazer, primary and then all the other colors of the rainbow secondary. We got a pac-man tee that got chopped up and turned into a hat up top.. Pieced it together with a raincoat, a yellow raincoat that I found so it’s like a combination in there

Where would you say your style inspo comes from?

Honestly intuition, i’d say intuition leads me and then the colors.. the colors just speak and I combine the two. I find ways to combine the color combinations and different ways to piece it together

What can we expect next from you?

Next we’re gonna have to make a film for the pieces to live in and immortalize them cause yeah you can enjoy them on a day to day basis, on the social networks, but I’m really tryna get all my people off of the social networks and out of the matrix. So I gotta make my own films and put them in a place where all my people can come and congregate together you know.. something like this, shoutout to them boys down in RVA. I’ve never experienced a conglomerate of a community like this so for yall to open yall doors.. shoutout Hugh, shoutout Gavyn, shoutout Floaty, shoutout WAWF

How’d you find out about WAWF?

Honestly they found me. Likeminded individuals always find each other. That’s like soul tribe right there

Along with promoting/supporting growing artists like these WAWF magazine pushes art fashion culture and much more

Stay tuned for all of the exciting things WAWF has planned

unpopular opinions music edition because I am that bitch, still that bitch (in Meg's voice)

• I think Sza is one of the greatest songwriters of this generation, but I can't enjoy her music thoroughly because I cannot stand her voice.

Same applies to Taylor Swift. And this is not a hateful statement. The stans who cannot do comprehensive reading will be blocked.

• 4th Generation Kpop is all about girlgroups. I mean; name me one 4th gen boygroup that is on the same level as NewJean or æspa. You can't because there's none.

Anyway, I am not a girlgroup fan. Just a Monbebe and a casual listener.

• Though I am very fond of female pop artists (e.g Gaga, Bey, Missy, Fka, Chlöe, Tinashe and Marina), I simply am not attracted to kpop girlgroups. There's something about those kpop girlies that I do not vibe with.

• Y'all love to talk sh*t about late 00's - early 10's music. But watch that "cringe-intesify music" rise from dead like how Y2K music does for now. Music trend goes in circle, and late 00's era is next. Watch people do the Harlem Shake 2.0 challenge on TikTok.

• Nightcore(Sped-up) and Slowed+reverb version of a song should never be considered a remix. A remix is something the artists put effort in, either a whole new verse, alternative arrangement or new melodic experience of the same song. Nightcore and Slowed+reverb songs, on the other hand, are half-arsed, uncreative approaches to songs that were carefully crafted. These "remix" should never be monetized period.

• Concerts are loud as fuck, even those outdoor ones. I'd rather buy a concert tape rather than a ticket. If I do not get the meet & greet privilege, you will never find me in the concert hall.

• I will say this again: AI Covers are acceptable if the creators do not profit off their crafts. If they do, that is identity theft, and I hope the artists sue them asap.

• In the female rap game, there is yet any new girl who's near Nicki Minaj's level, skill-wise or status-wise. And I am not even a Barbz.

• I believe industry plants are real, and some of them are very talented. They can grow organically, but the label's decision to push them when they are not ready can be detrimental. Now they're expected to do even better without the push.

I am looking at you Cardi B.

• One artist I wish receive the industry push is Chlöe Bailey. She is talented, skilled and ready. She deserves it.

• Thanks Meghan Trainor and Dua Lipa for singlehandedly keeping pop music alive in the 20's. Appreciated. I would have thanked Doja Cat too, but she seems to only do experimental music now. 😂

⇝RAP SH!T  | 1.5 "Something for The Weekend"

[wisteria-lodge]

badger primary + burnt improvisational secondary

hi! i've deleted a large segment of this ramble because it is extremely long. last night i wrote a pretty ugly ramble but chose not to sent it off, instead i googled narcissistic personality disorder and i think that that is indeed a possible diagnosis for me (though i know self dx is not always gospel truth). that's the easiest diagnosis by occam's razor. getting an actual read on my own personality though in areas other than said disorder has been hard.

I’ve only got a layman’s knowledge and some anecdotal experience of NPD, but I’ll do my best. Obviously I can’t diagnose you either. I’ll give you my thoughts, but a true diagnosis isn’t possible or ethical. That said, narcissistic personality disorder gets a bad rap, but is one hundred percent livable and even helpful. It’s a good sign that you’re self aware enough to read up on it and go ‘this could be me.’ 

the last i checked (1-2 years ago), i thought i was either a lion badger, double lion or some shade of bird (addendum: or badger), but i might have changed by then. also, i am a teenager. i now suspect i am a double lion but i'd like you take a look and be sure.

before i start off: thank you for answering random questions from strangers like me off the internet. there's some hard stuff in lots of them. thank you for your compassion too.

It’s true that sometimes I’m not in the right mental space to soak in some of the quite heavy stuff people write in with me. (I like my blog feeling safe, so I sometimes edit content a little if it gets *too* intense.) But I like the exercise of trying to focus in and understand someone as best as I can. I think it makes me better at my job, and I think it makes me better as a person. 

Also, cheers for checking in on *me.* That right there is not a classic narcissist trait. 

main rant about me socialising: i am a loud person and can be a bit of a showoff. actually an extrovert albeit a socially anxious one. people are cool with me usually, but i feel i also love too hard, too fast and too deeply. 

This could honestly just be person stuff, but the word ‘showoff’ and that tendency to either operate at 0% or 100% is pretty Lion secondary. 

i just left my old class and i miss them so much - 

Badger primary? 

grief i guess is love for others which can't really be adequately expressed. 

“Grief is really just love, it’s all the love you want to give and cannot.” - words of wisdom from Jaime Anderson, professional snowboarder.

but i felt they accepted me as a person and said their mind (but took no sh-t). for the most part they were quite open and unflinchingly honest. i like people who are unafraid to show who they are -  god knows who i am, i'm not sure of it, but they somehow have enough of a grasp to be able to be honest and forthright, and who gives a fk if they are annoying because i'd like them anyway. even the misogynists, seriously. though i don't accept their misogyny, at least they have the fking gall to say it in class and let others criticise them (i hope they learn though. i dang well hope so.)

It sounds like you really like Lion secondaries. It’s possible that if you’ve got a bit of a Burned Lion secondary, hanging around with unBurned lion secondaries could be sort of... nice? healing? relaxing? Or you could just like lion secondaries.

now for my evaluation of each primary and secondary: lion - i honestly don't have any cause except "survive until tomorrow". 

Survival mode. I hear you. And honestly, I used to be very much the same way. It took a while, before I was in a good enough place that I could actually sort myself. 

that answers the question, "what keeps you living every day?" i've lived through weird stuff, i'm goddanged alive, fk it i'm living. burnt lion might be a thing for me though. however i believe in little things, such as never praising capitalism, calling out idiots 

This probably isn’t Snake, but could be any of the other primaries. 

when i have the gall and the vague idea of compassion, something i have not achieved. 

There’s some burnt ‘I want to but I can’t’ language going on here. Could be a burnt secondary - I want to stand up and do the lion secondary ‘speak the truth’ thing, but I can’t. But it could also be Burnt primary ‘I am not compassionate enough, and therefore I cannot trust myself to make decisions. Which would either be Lion or Badger. 

badger - i guess i like people? i'd sacrifice any cause for people though. what use is a cause if whatever the hell you're doing is useless to the people you want to help. 

I’m actually thinking you might be Badger. Framing morality around the wellbeing of groups of people is a very Badger way to think about it, period. An idealist is much more likely to go ‘ends justify the means’ or ‘creating strife or discomfort in worth it in the service of justice, or freedom.’

one of my criticisms of most lion primaries typed by people is that a cause is framed as something that you do to serve others. i hate the concept of noblesse oblige but i keep doing it anyway, because i keep feeling my position in life is extremely precarious (this sounds like the npd speaking though).

Okay, I’m unpacking this. Noblesse oblige is the specific idea that if you are born into privilege it is your responsibility to help those beneath you. It’s a old idea, and it gets critiqued because it’s a little infantilizing and paternalistic - only the cool special noble people can help the poor innocent peasants (not really taking into account that one of the peasants might one day BE a noble, or that the peasants might want to help themselves.) Noblesse oblige also got used to justify the class system - of course the noble people should be at the top, they earn/deserve it by being super nice and special. Its a very specific thing, and not just ‘wanting to serve others,’ which is more of a general instinct. Humans are pack animals after all.  

So I’m not sure what you mean when you say that you keep doing “noblesse oblige” because your life is precarious. That might actually be the opposite of noblesse oblige - THAT system would tell you that you are specifically not required to do anything until you’ve got some kind of wealth/power/privilege. 

 still. i care about people. bird: (submitter's name), overthinker of the century. snake: i am a selfish b--ch. insult my friends and you will get a beating. metaphorically. 

I’m thinking you’re probably a Loyalist primary.

i will lie and cheat to protect the ones i care about though i am a horrible liar.

Maybe seeing some Snake secondary here? 

the hierarchy of people which some snakes have described is alien to me though.

I’m kinda doubling down on Badger primary for you. 

secondaries: lion: loud, brash, overconfident speaker. unable to shut my mouth, for better or for worse.  as someone apathetic to most things though, i rush through life with no rudder. 

Definitely think Improvisational secondary for you, I’ve seen no evidence of the more Prep-work style. 

can be stubborn and narrowminded. 

Hmmm. That’s usually more of a primary issue. 

i've only got anywhere due to enormous amounts of privilege and a very good memory. 

I hear you on the ‘memory superpower’ thing. It works until it doesn’t.

 badger: i was very meticulous once upon a time. but then i was a kid. i no longer have the energy to care for anything. the prepwork thingy has happened in my life before but in the distant past.  i really don't know whats happened.

You’re a bit burnt in the secondary department, aren’t you? 

bird: i am an infamous memoriser of trivia. but seriously, it's because of my memory. i used to use lots of little life hacks to keep my person up and running but they've all collapsed. 

Looks like you had a Bird secondary model at one point. 

snake: i'm a bad liar, does this rule snake out? 

Nah. No one is born good at stuff. Competency doesn’t equal secondary, ease and comfort does. 

i plan my lies, line by line, as if i'm rehearsing a play. 

Actor bird? Or Actor Bird model? If you’re neurodivergent in any way you might also be running scripts. 

no. this does not sound snake. i was always really rigid and random at the same time. i'd really like to be able to separate my disorder (or whatever is going on with my brain) from my actual personality. it's called a personality disorder after all. 

I haven’t read anything that really screams NPD at me. Honestly, you seem burnt out and focused on *surviving.* Things that were fun/useful no longer are, it’s harder to care about things at all. I expect moving away from your old social group made everything worse, moves like that can be especially brutal on Badger primaries, which I suspect you are. And your secondary is burnt/your situation unstable enough enough that I can’t really tell what it is. 

thank you so much for reading all the way to the end, if you did. if not i do not fault you at all.

Burnt secondaries and apologizing. Seriously, it’s okay. This one wasn’t even long at all. 

[akookminsupporter]

You know what i realized?JM haters don't simply/necessarily hate on him bc he's everything they want themselves to be but also what they want their bias to be. I went to a page to report 4 hating on JM but a twt catched my eye. The twt was dragging him for his dance,saying he dances like sh!t/feminine & load of word along w that. But guess who is their bias?Yes! A member who has only "vocalist" as position in his respective group. He is a background dancer,cant rap. The audacity of these haters!

Oh definitely. It's not for nothing that tkkrs for example, have edited many if not all the pictures of Jimin and Jungkook, cutting off Jimin's face to put Tae's.

[cuddlepilefics]

can you do a skz one where Chan is working hard for a comeback, doing a lot of writing, producing, ect. but then he gets a cold, (snz centered) but he refuses to take a break, so Felix has to force him to take a break. With lots of Chanlix fluff please. 🥺🥺 (p.s I LOVE your writing, you are quite talented, and just have a way with words. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ love you ❤️)

Thank you, this really means a lot to me considering that English isn’t my first language.

I alread wrote something similar. You can find it here.

It’s never this cold in Australia

 Fandom: Stray Kids

Sickie: Chan

Caregiver: Felix

 No one’s POV.:

Stray Kids would have another comeback soon, which left them with almost twice as much work as usual. Felix hated those times when they prepared for comebacks, not because he didn’t like to make new music, hell, he loved making new music, rather because Chan would always overdo it on himself and the younger could do nothing but watch the leader run himself into the ground. This time was no different and it had actually been a few days since any of the members had seen their leader apart from the dance practices they spent together. Not even Changbin and Jisung were allowed to stay in the studio with their hyung because after the songs were written and most lines were recorded, Chan had to edit them. Since the other two members of 3racha wouldn’t be able to help much with editing other than approving or disapproving, they were more of a distraction to the Aussie, so in hopes of not stressing him out more, they left him to work in peace. Maybe if there were no distractions, he’d finish faster and take the time to rest afterwards. However, assuming there were no distractions, was wishful thinking. There certainly still were distractions, the worst of them a headache that had started bothering Chan a few days ago. He wasn’t surprised at all, considering he slept even less than usual, spending day and night looking at his laptop screen. The Aussie was no stranger to headaches, often overworking himself. The only thing he was grateful for was that he hadn’t had a migraine yet like he always got them when he was too stressed and sleep-deprived.

As days passed, the headache wasn’t the only thing bothering him. After falling asleep in front of his laptop at the studio again, Chan woke up with a completely blocked nose. Unable to breathe through it in the slightest. The pain had shifted right between his brows, causing his eyes to water. The light coming from the screen in front of him didn’t help either and after saving all his open files, he closed the laptop. Feeling more exhausted than he had in a while, he dropped his head onto the desk and closed his eyes again. If he had the energy, he’d move to the couch at the back of the studio and allow himself a small nap. Not longer than an hour though because he couldn’t afford losing the time he needed to finish everything before their deadlines. He had slept just fine in his chair earlier but now it didn’t work anymore, leaving the Aussie to just sit with his eyes closed, head on his arms, as he started overthinking. Sure, the headache could be caused by exhaustion but now his nose was stuffed up and he felt so cold. If he could, he’d get up and adjust the air conditioning but getting up sounded way too tiring. Though Chan didn’t want to admit it to himself, he could tell he was coming down with something and the thought of getting sick stressed him out. What if he wouldn’t be able to meet the deadlines? No! He could! He had worked through illnesses quite a few times before, so why shouldn’t he manage to do that now?

He didn’t know how much time had passed but his phone started to buzz with a reminder that he had to be at the practice room within the next ten minutes. Groaning at the thought of having to move around and music blearing loudly, Chan forced himself up and tried to remind himself of the positive things. Maybe dancing would help warm him up and he wouldn’t feel so cold afterwards. Stumbling to the door of his studio, the Aussie braced himself against the door frame and drew in a shaky breath. His nose tingled, causing his eyes to water before he ducked into the crook of his elbow with a rough sounding sneeze. Chan cleared his throat, wincing at how raw it felt, and used his sleeve to dab away the irritated tears that had spilled from his eyes. Trying to pull himself together, he made his way to the practice room and occasionally rubbed his arms to generate warmth. His previously blocked nose had started to run and he sniffled lightly before pushing the door open and cringing at the bright ceiling lights. Most of his dongsaengs were already there, stretching or going over short sequences of the choreography that they didn’t feel confident in yet. “Hyung!”, Jisung yelled, jogging over and hugging the leader, “Guys, he’s alive! Hyung, I didn’t think we’d get to see you anymore.” Chan barely noticeably flinched at the rapper’s loud voice and hesitantly hugged back, grateful for some warmth.

After some more teasing about not having seen the oldest in ages, they moved on to practicing but it didn’t go too well for Chan. Just standing upright already made him feel lightheaded, so it wasn’t much of a surprise that the fast step sequences caused the oldest to stumble frequently. His head was thumping with the same beat blasting from the speakers as Chan braced himself on his knees panting. It was only now that he noticed how difficult it was to breathe through a nose that was stuffed up and somehow runny at the same time. The dancing also hadn’t done much to warm him up like he had hoped it would. Usually he’d dance in a t-shirt only but today, he wore a sweater over his t-shirt, not even taking it off after one hour of dancing when all of the members were drenched in sweat. To be fair, he was drenched in sweat too but at the same time, he still felt cold. Seeing how out of breath their oldest was, Minho announced they’d have a ten-minute break to drink something and catch their breaths. They all knew Chan didn’t like to be called out when he wasn’t doing as well as usual, so the others just went to drink something and chat with each other, while Felix made his way over to his fellow Aussie, lowly asking: “Hey, you alright there? You’re looking pretty tired.” – “I am, both. Just haven’t been sleeping much”, the older replied quietly, letting out a shaky breath as he sat down next to his bag. Uncapping his water bottle, he struggled it really drink something because he couldn’t breathe while there was water in his mouth.

Chan put his bottle back into his bag and closed his eyes, massaging the bridge of his nose, willing the headache away. “What are your plans for the rest of the day?”, Felix hummed, sitting down next to his friend. The leader shrugged, sniffling: “Jus’ goin’ back to the studio. There’s so much I still need to finish and I don’t nearly have the time to.” The younger hummed in acknowledgement, not pointing out how miserable the other sounded. Felix could tell Chan was sick, the fact that he never took off his sweater being a dead giveaway, the slight rasp and congestion present in his voice only a confirmation. There was something else the dancer knew, the older wouldn’t do anything different from when he was healthy, he’d still work as long and as hard. This was one of the things he hated the most, watching his friend suffer but not being able to help because Chan didn’t want help. Help in this case would mean standing between him and his work and the leader would never tolerate that. Right now, it almost looked like he was dozing of against the wall and Minho felt guilty as he had to call them back to practicing. Felix got up first, reaching out both hands to pull Chan up, smiling sympathetically: “You sure you’re up for more dancing?” – “Lix, come on. I’m fine, really. We nee- ne - we need hESH! *sniff* we need to get this perfect”, the leader replied with a watery smile, that Felix could tell was entirely fake.

He also could tell that Chan was really frustrated with himself. Most of the group already had the dance moves down, the only one still struggling was their leader. They knew the sole reason for his difficulty with the choreography was that he wasn’t feeling well, whether that meant he was sick like Felix claimed or just sleep-deprived from all the hours he had worked through the night. Since they had mastered the dance and knew Chan would master it too when he was feeling better, Minho and Hyunjin, who were in charge of their practice session, called it a day. They convinced Chan that it was only scheduled for two hours and that they had different schedules now. It wasn’t entirely true but they were certain the oldest would end up either hurting himself or fainting if he kept dancing. After their practice was officially over, the group dispersed and practiced the things they wanted to improve for their comeback, singing, rapping or secretly returning to the practice room after Chan went back to his studio. Felix had tried to convince him to come back to the dorm, to take a warm shower and eat a proper meal but the older was stubborn, almost getting mad at the boy who only tried to help him. It wasn’t like the leader didn’t want to take a warm shower to get rid of the sweat and the chill that had settled bone-achingly deep but he was already stressed enough as it was and he knew it would only get more stressful if he wasted time that could better be spent working.

At this point, Felix knew he wouldn’t achieve anything by pestering the older. He’d only make him angry and cause him to hole himself up inside the studio even more, so he relented and watched with a heavy heart as the leader shuffled back to the studio. From around the corner, he heard two painful sounding sneezes and sadly shook his head, walking off into the opposite direction. If he couldn’t get Chan to come home with him, he’d at least get him a fresh t-shirt and hoodie because if the older wasn’t already sick, he’d certainly be after sitting in a room with air conditioning, wearing his sweat-through practice clothes. Unsure about the last time the leader had a decent meal, Felix also took the time to make some soup, pouring it into a thermos and packing a bowl and spoon, so his hyung could eat it at the studio. He grabbed a big sports bag and filled it with fresh clothes, the soup and a thick scarf the older had bought him during the first winter Felix experienced in Korea. Shortly before leaving the dorm again, he remembered to also shove a travel pack of tissues into the bag. If only Chan would take better care of himself.

The leader sat in front of his laptop, suppressing the urge to cry as the screen blurred in front of him. By now, one of his sleeves was constantly pressed against his nose, either to rub at it as he sniffled quietly or to keep him from sneezing all over his keyboard. He couldn’t tell when exactly his nose had gotten so sensitive but it only took as much as one slightly too forceful breath to make it start tickling again, which in turn would make his eyes water more and cause him to see even less of the screen in front of him, yet Chan refused to admit that his attempts of getting something done were unsuccessful. The leader pulled both of his sleeves over his palms to rub at his itchy face, sighing in frustration. His breath started to hitch again and giving into the feeling this time, he simply kept his sleeves over his face, waiting. "h-hESSH! hISH’iew!” He sniffled carefully before he dared to remove his hands, instead swiping his sleeves under his eyes to dry them. When did he start feeling this bad? Sure, he had started to feel this cold coming on earlier, yet he never thought it would cause him more than some congestion. Blinking at his screen, his eyes instantly started to water again, still, he tried to work through it, determined he wouldn’t let a cold keep him from meeting his deadlines.

Chan had taken off his shoes after some time, pulling his legs closer to his body as he curled up in his chair, trying to stay warm. He had already adjusted the air conditioning when he came back to the studio but it didn’t help much. By the time Felix arrived to the studio, it seemed like the leader was staring through his laptop screen rather than at it. He also didn’t notice the younger’s arrival, startling when Felix appeared next to him. The dancer heard him mumble something incoherent, not understanding a word but frowning at how out of it the older was. “Sorry, what was that?”, he hummed, resting a hand on Chan’s shoulder. The leader cleared his throat before repeating: “I said, ‘s never this cold in Australia.” The younger was stunned, to him it felt pretty toasty in the small studio after the air conditioning had been completely turned off. Worriedly he pressed his palm against his hyung’s forehead, causing the older to shudder. He clicked his tongue, stating: “Well, I can tell you why you feel cold. You’re feverish, which I’m pretty sure you knew already.” – “I-I hhh… hh’HDJsHhiew!” – “Mhm, exactly my point. You’re sick and should come home to rest”, Felix emphasized. That seemed to wake Chan. The drowsy fog in his head disappeared as his eyes finally focused on his dongsaeng, arguing: “I can’t. There’s still so much to do, I’m not going to finish this on time. God, I’m already so behind with everything. The comeback is too soon. If I don’t at least finish another three songs tonight, it’ll be a disaster.”

Sighing, Felix turned his chair away from his laptop, so it was facing him instead. “Hyung, it won’t. I know it’s already great as it is and Stay will agree with me. There’s still enough time till the comeback and Binnie-hyung and Sungie can help you. Besides, I don’t think you’re going to get much done with a fever like this”, he tried to reason. Face hardening, Chan got out of his chair, voice raised: “How would you know if the time is enough? You have no idea how many more songs I still have to edit. Those people won’t be Stay anymore if I can’t give him the music they are expecting from us. I could get stuff done tonight if you weren’t distracting me from it!” Voice cracking and giving out towards the end, the leader dropped back into his chair. Tears spilled down his cheeks as he mumbled apologies over and over again. He had never meant to snap at the younger like this and he’d also never raised his voice at Felix like this. Biting his lip, Felix pulled himself out of his dazed stupor. Chan’s outburst had been unexpected but he was sure the older didn’t mean it, so he forced down his shaken-up emotions and embraced the other, who quietly hiccupped, wiping at his eyes.

“Ssh, you’re okay. It’s okay, hyung. Everything’s just a bit too much right now, hm?”, he whispered, running his hand through the other’s disheveled curls. Chan nodded with a wet sniffle, trying to fight back the tears that just continued coming. His bottled-up stress and frustration now bubbling over. Pulling him to his feet, Felix guided the older over to the couch and sat down with him after quickly retrieving the bag he had brought. He pulled out the tissues and handed them to Chan, who messily wiped his cheeks before blowing his nose, irritating it again. “hISH’iew!” – “Bless you”, the dancer hummed, handing him another tissue as the first was already soggy. He kept rubbing his friend’s back, hugging him from time to time as he waited for the older to cry his emotions off of his chest. It took almost twenty minutes for Chan to calm himself down again. He didn’t even know why he was so upset, mainly feeling emotional and sensitive from his fever. Seeing he was still shivering slightly, Felix pulled out the scarf he had brought with him and laid it across the leader’s shoulders before rubbing his arms up and down. The older closed his eyes and leaned against the back of the couch, clearing his throat repeatedly. “Does your throat hurt too?”, the younger asked quietly. Chan shook his head, rasping: “’s jus’ dry from breathing through my mouth.” – “Oh, have some water then”, Felix instructed, handing him the bottle from his desk. He didn’t fully believe his hyung, so he was going to find out the truth differently. Of course, Chan’s wince didn’t go unnoticed as it was obvious swallowing hurt him.

Rolling his eyes at the leader’s stubbornness, Felix handed him the fresh clothes. It took some prodding because Chan was feeling way too cold to take off the shirt he was wearing but he felt much more comfortable in his clean hoodie afterwards. The younger was now wrapping the scarf around his neck to protect his already strained voice from further harm, while Chan was already dozing off in his sitting position. Gently nudging his arm, Felix reminded: “Come on, we still need to go home before you sleep. Did you eat already?” The leader shook his head. “You can either eat a late dinner back at the dorm or I brought you some soup. You could eat here and then go straight to bed when we get back”, he offered. This time Chan nodded. Furrowing his brows, the younger asked: “Yes to which option?” – “Straight to bed”, Chan muttered, barely staying awake. Felix quickly took out the soup he had prepared, glad when he found it still steaming, and agreed: “You can you straight to bed but please eat this first. You can’t run on protein shakes, granola bars and coffee the entire time.” – “That works pretty well”, the older argued, blowing onto the spoon. The dancer rolled his eyes, muttering: “Well, that’s debatable.” They sat in silence, apart from Chan’s soft sniffles, as the leader ate the first warm meal he had had in a week. He didn’t want to admit it but the soup felt nice, warming his sore throat and his entire body from the inside. Plus, His dongsaeng certainly wasn’t a bad cook, at least not as far as he could taste with his nose blocked.

Felix packed up the things he had brought, while Chan saved his files and slid his laptop into his backpack, ready to let the younger take him home. Although the thought of leaving the building into the night didn’t seem too appealing, the leader reminded himself of the warm bed waiting for him at the dorm. A bit lightheaded still, he relied fully on Felix’ arm around his waist, guiding him home as his eyes fought to stay open. He got even more unsteady as his breath hitched and he gripped onto the younger’s shoulder for support. The dancer slowed down even more, steadying his hyung as he brought up his arm sneezing into the crook of his arm twice, almost toppling over. “Bless you. We’re almost there”, Felix promised, dragging a sniffly Chan down another block towards their dorm building. The leader looked dead on his feet as the light in the entrance hall of the building illuminated his face. The younger wince as he grasped just how much the older’s condition had declined since their practice in the afternoon. Quietly whimpering, Chan pulled his hood further over his face to block out the uncomfortably bright light that made his eyes burn and head pound. After what seemed like a whole journey, they made it up to their dorm, kicking off their shoes. As promised, Felix walked the leader straight to his room where all the older did was changing into thicker sweatpants before curling up under his blanket. Felix left the room for a few minutes and returned with some water and medicine, whispering: “Since you ate something earlier, you can take something for your fever and headache now. I’ll leave the water on your nightstand in case you get thirsty or your throat bothers you during the night.” With a grateful but hoarse hum, Chan took the medicine before curling up again and burying his face in his blanket. "hESH! *sniff*” – “Bless you. Do you want cuddles?”, the younger offered. Shaking his head, the older replied pitifully: “Don’t want to get you sick too.” – “I didn’t ask you if you wanted to get me sick, I asked if you wanted cuddles”, Felix chuckled. Letting out a shaky laugh, Chan admitted: “I-I guess I do.” – “Alright, scoot over. Don’t worry if you still feel cold, you’ll get your very personal Australian sun.”

[a-lost-crow]

MCSM followers I’m drawing Lukas Night Funkin again :D! Though I edited the plot this time so this post is just my rambles about it, later on I will probably be posting the actual drawing

Ya know in the portal arc the characters go to the portal and go to other universes and sh*t? 

Yeah, it’s that but instead Jesse and the gang went to the FNF world because... FNF mod plot reasons.

If I ever have Adobe animate and good coding skills, the player can choose any version of Jesse as the Girlfriend-idle animation

Boyfriend and Girlfriend knows the plot of Minecraft Story Mode, and knows about the portal arc

Boyfriend is hyperfixated about MCSM

Girlfriend is into it and supports Boyfriend’s hyperfixation.

Being the demon girl she is, she does know where the portal to the portal room are since the FNF universe somehow has a portal itself

OKAY PLOT ACTUALLY BEGINS AND JESSE AND THE GANG WENT TO THE FNF WORLD

Boyfriend. Is. Frickin. Excited.

His hands stim in excitement and GF is just baffled at the existence of the MCSM characters

Jesse sorta breaks the 4th wall in how their appearance isn’t the usual MCSM 3D animation since they are drawn in a more cartoony way

BF went to Jesse and challenges to battle him

Jesse can’t sing for the life of him so Lukas volunteers instead

(And also, since I have sh*t coding skills, it will save me from choosing an option to choose the Jesse variations to sing in the male and female voice. If I ever make the mod that is)

Boyfriend is disappointed, but they sang anyways

The music will have Lukas’ voice as his voice bank

BUT at some parts he will sing in those Minecraft enchantment sounds

I just thought of it now and thought it is cute af

Lukas’ idle animation is him holding his journal and his mic as if it were a feather/pen and the dance being his head going left and right. His face expression is an angry face with a smile (not in a mean way because he likes to rap with BF)

Up, his head goes up

Down, his head goes down and the journal closes

Left, the mic turns to a feather and he’s writing on the journal

Right, is the feather pointing at BF

The song ends and the cutscene is Ivor wanting to sing

Odd choice but BF lets him sing anyways

It’s bad.

His idle animation is going side to side as he is flipping a potion bottle around

He is holding no mic because he is as loud as he is already

The animation before the song ends is Petra smacking the mic to the ground, making the ringing noise

Not sure what else is gonna be in the nonexistent mod but GF does show them the portal and Jesse and the others go and still have to find their home

THAT’S ALL I HAVE FOR NOW LOL!!! NOW I HAVE TO DRAW THE CONCEPT OF IT LOL

[theblossomangels]

dream.

summary ⟶ Jay thinks that he is being ridiculous, dreaming about his girlfriend on stage as he was performing.

timeline ⟶ August 2019

characters : Jaebeom (Jay Park), H1GHER Music crew

warning ⟶ none.

❝ No you’re not. My girlfriend wears her business clothes. ❞

Jay looks at his reflection on the mirror, fixing his white shirt and his jeans before taking his phone and snapping multiple pictures, sending to his special someone.

Jay

How do I look?

In just a minute, Jay’s phone made a sound, indicates that he received a message as he quickly takes his phone, already seeing the contact name on his phone screen.

His smile grew wider.

baby hayeon 💕

Omg! Is that the shirt that was made by Blazed? It looks good! Especially when it’s on you! 😊

Jay was about to reply when Hayeon called him and he immediately answered her.

“Hell--

“JAY! OMG! It looks so good! How much is it?!? I hope they are selling it! I’m so gonna support them and buy a couple of it! I’ll probably ask Eunjae to buy a dozen too! Does it come in--

“Hey hey! Babe! Calm down.. Relax..”

“Hehe! I’m sorry! I think I drank too many cups of coffee!”

“Hey, I told you not to drink too much.. It can ruin your health if you drink too much, baby.”

“I’ll try to cut down, just for you okay? Anyways, are Blazed selling the t-shirts? I’m seriously interested on buying it!”

“Baby.. You don’t need to buy it.”

“What?! Why not!? Aren’t you guys not selling it? Aww man..”

“Hayeon. The reason why you don’t have to buy it which is because I already pre-ordered it for you and in about 2 days, I think it will arrive at your door in LA.. by today or tomorrow??”

“......WHAT!? ARE YOU SERIOUS?!! YAH! PARK JAEBEOM!”

Jay quickly distance his phone away from his ear, hearing the screaming on the other end of the receiver.

“What are you screaming for!?!?!”

Jay could hear his girlfriend sighing.

“Baby, you do know that you literally sent me like more than 100 stuffs in just a year?”

“We already talk about this and I will keep saying it even if it’s for a thousand times. You deserve it, baby.”

“But--

“No buts, baby. I hope you’ll like it. I can’t remember what I ordered but there are like a few versions of it. Oh! There’s like the ph-1 version, then there’s like the blaze summer edition version, the flame version and others that I can’t remember.”

“....That’s not a few, Jay.”

Jay chuckled to hear Hayeon’s straightforward tone, his laughter trails off.

“I honestly miss you, Hayeon-ah.”

Jay wasn’t kidding, he really did miss her.

He couldn’t believe that he could survive a long distant relationship.

Each day, Jay would call her without fail. Even if either one of them missed the calls, they will return the call and one of them would answer without needing to call again.

Because of Hayeon’s line of work, Jay couldn’t regularly see Hayeon although they were like in the same state.

Jay knew that one day he couldn’t resist of holding onto the feeling so he decided to flew out to L.A. just to see her, and he gets to spent the night with Hayeon intimately.

Since then, Jay was even more clingy to Hayeon, calling her each night. He even drunk called her causing Hayeon to laugh hysterically.

“I know. I miss you too, baby.”

“I hope you will come back home soon.”

Jay’s voice became softer as he muttered while looking at the door to see staff running here and there knowing the concert was starting soon.

“Baby, I have to go up stage soon.”

“Oh.. Good luck Jay! And have fun too! Don’t get too drunk!”

“Thank you baby, I’ll call you as soon as the concert ends. Love you!”

“Love you too, Jay! Byeeee!”

The call ended with Jay smiling widely, as he quickly checks himself out at the mirror before stepping out of his waiting room, seeing his other H1GHER members coming out of their waiting room.

Just as Jay was about to approach the others, his phone suddenly lit up with a notification sound and he knew who it was.

baby hayeon 💕

Hey Jay. I hope you are not on stage yet but just wanna say GOOD LUCK AND HAVE FUN BABY! GO ALL OUT FOR YOUR FANS not all till you lose yourself okay? HAVE FUN WITH THE H1GHER GANG AND DO NOT DRINK TOO MUCH TILL U DRUNK CALL ME AGAIN MOANING MY NAME AND SAYING SEXUAL STUFF! its cute but seriously not in public okay i’m out of track but all I’m saying is have fun safely okay Jay? I have to go back to work soon 😔 and once again, good luck Jaebeom. I love you 💋💞💓💘 💖 💝💞

Jay smiled softly as he quickly replied her, before joining the rest of the gang.

Jay

I love you so much, baby.

Jay didn’t know if he is drunk or he is dreaming.

It is ridiculous that he is dreaming of Hayeon as he performs on stage, his eyes were scanning through his fans, him hoping to see the one he wanted to see.

But he knew his hope was just a little one, knowing Hayeon wouldn’t fly back to Korea just to see him performing for the concert launch of his clothing line that his company collaborated with

Hayeon wouldn’t come just for this, her work is too heavy.

Jay smiled a little as he shifted his gaze towards his friends who was enjoying themselves on stage.

Some of them were taking pictures with the fans, at the same time rapping their hearts out.

“Hyung, hyung!” Minsik came running towards Jay, his face leaning towards Jay’s ears.

“I think I saw Hayeon.” whispered Minsik and Jay pull away, looking at the younger one with a deep frown.

Jay knew that Minsik won’t joke about this topic because Minsik is in the same boat as him.

Their girlfriends are best friends, more like sisters.

Jay looked at the younger one, checking if he is drunk since Jay saw him drinking a few shots.

But Minsik didn’t look drunk.

“I think you are going to be drunk, Minsik.” commented Jay and Minsik shakes his head, looking at Jay seriously for the first time.

“Hyung, I’m serious.” answered Minsik and Jay looked towards the crowd of fans, his eyes moving the front, scanning the fans faces.

Jay’s eyes moved towards the back and his eyes slowly widen.

No, it can’t be.

Jay sees Hayeon standing in the middle of the crowd with a smile on her face, seeing her wearing the white blazed design shirt, he just told her that he pre-ordered it for her.

No way...

His eyed then turned towards Minsik.

“You must be really drunk, Minsik-ah.. C’mon..” Jay dragged the younger one away as his eyes turned towards where Hayeon was standing at.

Hayeon wasn’t there.

“Oh no... Our CEO is drunk..”

“Really drunk..”

“Hyung! You’re being too close!”

By the end of the performances, Jay was already too drunk and he was clinging to Harry and Minsik.

“Should we bring him back to the hotel?”

“No..... I wanna see Hayeonnie...” Jay slurred, then letting out a giggle causing Minsik to scoff, followed by the others.

Jay never mentions about his girlfriend whenever his label mates were there since their relationship is a secret to the public, except for his close friends and the people he works with.

Almost all of them knew about Jay and Hayeon’s relationship, because he was being too obvious.

Jay always had his hands on Hayeon whenever and wherever they go and when some of them confronted him about it, he decided to just come clean, saying he is in a relationship with Hayeon since 2-3 months ago.

“We all know clingy Jay hyung is hard to manage..” Jaewook commented as Jay was wrapping his arms around him, his head laying on Jaewook’s shoulder.

“Yah! Stop laughing and help me!” Jaewook whines towards the others who were trying not to stifle their giggles while recording their CEO who is acting cute and just clingy while mumbling english words that some of them couldn’t understand.

“Hyung! Hyung! Hey! We really sh--

Junwon’s words were cut off as his eyes were traveled towards elsewhere.

Although his sight wasn’t clear thanks to people dancing here and there, the dim lights and the neon lights flashing, his smile grew wider, causing the other H1GHER crew to look which direction he was gazing at.

“Noona!” Haon yelled, waving his hands.

Some of the H1GHER crew turns shy as soon as they see Hayeon, waving towards them before gazing towards jay who was clinging onto Minsik.

“Oh my god. He is so wasted.” Hayeon muttered, her gaze was fromthe rounded table that filled with bottles of beers, and all kinds of alcohol bottles and shot glasses.

“Hey! When did you get here and how did you come here?” asked Hwimin before hugging Hayeon.

“Jay hyung didn’t tell us about your arrival.” added Gyujeong and the others nodded, looking at the girl who was staring at Jay.

Jay saw her but he didn’t even turn directly towards her.

“An hour ago. It’s a surprise visit that I planned with Jay’s manager. I don’t think he recognize me..” commented Hayeon, peering onto Jay who was now cuddling Minsik.

Minsik looks extremely uncomfortable.

“Hayeon, d-do something..” Minsik pleaded, his words cause some of the H1GHER crew to laugh.

Hayeon sat beside the drunk Jay.

“Jay--

“Don’t touch me! I have a girlfriend!” Jay whines as he swats Hayeon’s hands away from him.

Her eyes slowly widen, looking towards Minsik and to the others.

“Oh my god. Our Jay hyung has change.” Hwimin commented at the back and Hayeon slightly smirked towards him.

It was the best opportunity for Hayeon to mess with him since Jay is completely drunk and she knew that he won’t even remember anything the next day.

“C’mon Jay. Your girlfriend isn’t here. Let’s have fun!” Hayeon sweet talk towards him while pulling his hand.

Jay groan as he tightly cling onto Minsik.

“No! I don’t want to! I said I already have a girlfriend! Leave me alone!” Jay whines grumpily.

Hayeon tried her best not to laugh or break her acting.

“Aww, c’mon Jay. Your girlfriend won’t know about this. It’s just a while..” said Hayeon sweetly, pulling Jay softly.

The older one turned towards Hayeon.

For a moment, Jay was staring at her causing Hayeon to freeze as he was gazing at her in the eye. She could feel her heart beating a little fast.

The way he looks at her is adorable.

Jay’s face was so red and his eyes were droopy thanks to how many bottles of alcohol he drank.

“I’m sorry.. I have a girlfriend.. She will be disappointed if I’m with you.. She’s my world.. I love Hayeon.. I’m not the old Jay..” Jay was already slurring his words, his eyes becoming droopy.

Hayeon could feel the others grinning towards her because Minsik was covering his mouth, trying not to giggle.

“Okay. I’ll just sit here then.”

As cheesy as it is, Hayeon can’t help but to let out a small smile, nodding as she let go of his arms.

Jay slowly turned towards her with a slight frown.

“But.. why do you smell like her?” Jay mumbled as he was sniffing Hayeon’s side.

The others could only giggle while still recording their drunk CEO.

“That’s because I am your girlfriend..?” stated Hayeon in a questioning tone. Jay frowns as he looks at Hayeon upand down.

“No, you’re not. My girlfriend wears her business clothes.”

“Jay, I don’t always wear my business formal wear everywhere.” answered Hayeon, turning towards him with a slight frown.

This time, Jay’s cheeks turned rosy though his face was already red as he quickly looks away from Hayeon.

His gaze turned towards Minsik.

“Minsik-ah, can you please tell her to go away? Hayeonnie is going to be mad at me if she founds out a girl is flirting with me.” Jay whines towards Minsik, as the younger one sticks out his head towards Hayeon, looking at her for help.

Hayeon could only giggle, shrugging as she turned towards the others who were still recording her and Jay’s interaction.

“I guess I’ll just stay and baby-sit you guys.”

“What?!? We don’t need to be baby-sit!”

“Yeah! We’re adults!”

“Jay hyung is the one who needs to be baby-sit!”

Hayeon intends to bring Jay back to his hotel but seeing how determined Jay look on staying with Minsik, saying he didn’t want to cheat or betray his girlfriend behind her back, Hayeon could only watch him with a smile on her face.

*SVTFOE Bloopers, Finale Season Part 3

•Gone Baby Gone

-(Setting:Teen Meteora and Mariposas cave.)

Star:(hesitantly slurps and gulps the skin flakes and garlic spider chow) “Y-Yummy”

Adult Marco:(eagerly drinks the soup) “Ahhh! Really takes me back. Though I always used to-“ (he stops and starts to sweat panting)

Star:(looks concerned for Adult Marco) “Are you okay? You look-“ (suddenly feels something) “Oh boy!” (starts to sweat and pant as well)

(Teen Meteora and Mariposa snicker)

Adult Marco:(standing up panicking) “What’s goin’ on!? My mouth is burning!” (screams and runs off-screen)

(Star screams and runs off-screen too. Teen Meteora and Mariposa try to contain their laughter)

Director Daron:(heard off-screen) “Uh, what’s going on over here? Can someone please tell me”

Staff Member:(heard off-screen) “Hang on, let me check”

(Teen Meteora and Mariposa can’t hold it much longer and burst out laughing. Adult Marco runs past the scene seemingly breathing fire while screaming flailing his arms in the air)

Staff Member:(heard off-screen) “Okay, we found the problem! Bryana (Teen Meteora) and Isabella (Teen Mariposa) secretly put Ghost Peppers in the soup for the scene”

Director Daron:(sighs) “Oh my God, girls not cool!”

(Teen Meteora falls back laughing and Teen Mariposa hunches over laughing holding onto her stomach and stomping her foot)

Star:(runs past the scene holding a water bottle) “CAN SOMEONE OPEN THIS THING!”

-(Behind the Scenes. Wyscan is sitting in a make-up chair half complete with his magical look with only his face not painted and wearing a bald cap for his wig. He’s speaking with the Make-Up Artist next to him surround by boxes of various colored paints and brushes)

Wyscan:(exasperated) “Oh my God! You would not believe the day I had getting over here! First, my limo got stuck in traffic, so I was 2 hours late for rehearsal” (the Make-Up Artist adjusts the chair to lounge back and Wyscan closes his eyes as he continues his venting. Little does he know, Teen Meteora and Mariposa quickly and very quietly cover the Make-Up Artists mouth and drag her away off-screen) “Then, I was attacked by those frogs that escaped from that new show, “Ann-phibia”, or whatever studio by some liberal going all, “Free the Frogs!” Ugh! I swear one of those slimy things crawled in my hair!” (cringes as Teen Meteora and Mariposa come back standing on either side of Wyscan snickering and picking up make-up tools) “Finally, those creepy twin Pony Head girls wouldn’t stop playing dumb country rap song, “Old Town Road”, during rehearsal and now that songs stuck in my head” (groans) “Anyways sorry about talking your ear off, I’ll just sit back, lay back and let you work your magic, okay hun”

(Teen Meteora and Mariposa simultaneously pretend to be the Make-Up Artist and go, “Mmhmm”, mockingly while giving one another devious looks. They get to work applying make-up on Wyscan super fast with pink mist and after they’re complete, the mist fades away and Teen Mariposa readjusts Wyscans sweat to make him sit up right as Teen Meteora holds up a hand mirror in front of him. Wyscan opens his eyes and gasps at seeing his prank make-up job. His face is powdered white with hot pink lipstick, lavender eyeshadow and three stickers on his face with a heart, a star and a rainbow plastered on it and his wig was a big curly orange afro. Teen Meteora and Mariposa laugh. Wyscan screams angrily and jumps off his seat)

Wyscan:(frustratedly) “You little brats! Wait til’ my agent hears about this!”

(Teen Meteora and Mariposa stop laughing and put their arms around Wyscan in-between them and Teen Mariposa pulls out her iPhone to take a pic of the three of ‘em as the two strike a pose. Wyscan groans and we see a flash and hear a click)

-Wyscan:(irritatedly) “Ugh, what’s taking so long over there?!”

Teen Mariposa:”I’ve changed my mind”

Wyscan:”I thought we had a deal!”

Wyscan’s Stomach:”And baby’s hungry!” (slurping)

Teen Mariposa:”You want the girl...you’ll” (tries to pull out her bo staff, but she fumbles with it around her hands and it falls to the ground making a loud clank sound as Teen Mariposa cringes. She stares down at the staff as the staff off-screen laugh. Wyscan laughs too and Teen Mariposa gets annoyed with him) “Shut up!”

-(The background fight music plays as Teen Mariposa starts to fight Wyscan with her staff. Wyscan blocks her attacks and pushes her backward with his sword. He quickly knocks her away and pins her to the ground. We hear a crack and Wyscan stops fighting to stand over Teen Mariposa looking confused. The background fight music dies out and Teen Mariposa sits up and picks up her bo staff which is now split almost in half and dangling on one side. She stares at it dangling before nervously chuckling. Wyscan laughs as well)

•Sad Teen Hotline

•Jannanigans

-Tom:(to Marco) “I mean, if you and your best friend, ended up being something else”

Marco:”What? Tom, the Blood Moon acres has been-“ (gets interrupted by a tennis ball being shot at his face knocking him down) “Ow!”

Tom:(gasps. Turns to where the ball came from) “What the f-“ (a tennis ball is shot at him and ends up in his mouth silencing him with him mumbling, dropping his arm full of tennis balls and losing his balance. Another tennis ball is shot at and knocks Tom down)

Director Daron:(heard off-screen) “Who’s using the tennis ball shooting machine!?”

(the camera pans to see Janna using it and shooting tennis balls around the set. We hearing glass shattering, people screaming and see objects falling down)

Janna:(stops shooting and calls out) “Hey, Pony Head! You lied! This thing does work!” (continues shooting tennis balls around and chuckles evilly as more things break and peoples screaming are heard)

Director Daron:(groans off-screen) “I told you to put that thing away before the shoot!”

Equipment Manager:(flatly off-screen) “Sorry”

•Mama Star

-First Born Unicorn:(angrily) “STOP THROWING SH*T IN MY REALM!”

-Director Daron:(heard off-screen) “Cut! Who the Hell is editing the horses dialogue up there!?”

(the camera pans up to the sound room where we see Teen Meteora and Mariposa sitting in the Sound Room with Teen Mariposa typing as Teen Meteora giggles)

Teen Mariposa:(typing with each word) “Every.time.you.come.into.my.realm.you.always.f**K.sh*t.up!” (stops typing and laughs with Teen Meteora)

(they stop laughing when the notice the cameras and go wide eyed with shock)

•Ready, Aim, Fire

•The Right Way

-(the giant Solarian knight is trying to find its balance and then suddenly stands still. It starts dancing as “Old Town Road” plays. We pan to see Shonda and Shinda smugly next to their record player with Teen Meteora and Mariposa smugly next to them watching as Teen Mariposa controls the giant Solarian knight with a remote)

Teen Meteora:(proudly) “We baaaaaaad”

Teen Mariposa:(proudly) “And we like it like that!”

(all four girls laugh)

-Eclipsa:(to Moon as she’s positioning her pool stick) “You know, I never got a chance to thank-“ (the pool stick cuts a tear on the table. Eclipsas eyes widen. Meteora laughs from her baby carrier Eclipsas wearing) “Whoops!” (stands up straight covering her mouth blushing)

-Star:”Glossaryck! Glossaryck! Please, don’t leave me here with my dysfunctional family!” (sighs) “Okay”, (waves disinterestedly at Eclipsa’s tapestry) “Hi Eclipsa” (turns to Moons tapestry) “Motherf**ker”

Director Daron:(off-screen) “Cut! Star!”

Star:”What!? It’s what the fans are thinking after what just recently happened!”

Director Daron:(scoldingly still off-screen) “You can’t curse in a children’s show!”

(Toffee is shown casually sitting in a chair next to the Darons)

Toffee:”I believe that’s what the kids call, “Too real””

Star:”Oh, can it Toffee! You’re not really in this episode it’s just a prerecording of your line from our first finale! Besides, my character is just acting appropriately from her mothers betrayal and all the chaos that’s going on!”

Toffee:”Yeah, but who was relieved to be the smartest character in the show?” (gives her a look)

(Rosemary is just sucking her bowl of gumbo next to Toffee in her leveled chair nodding concededly)

Toffee:”Rosemary, sweetie, flip to the last page of the script for this episode please”

(Rosemary puts down her gumbo, wipes her mouth, picks up the episodes script, flips through it professionally and reads through it first)

Rosemary:”It says, “Star turns to Moons tapestry and says mournfully, “I guess this means Toffee was right””

Toffee:(puts a hand to his ear pretending like he’s deaf) “I-I’m sorry, what was that, I couldn’t hear that” (makes a smug look at Star)

(Star looks peeved)

Rosemary:”She says, “I guess this means Toffee” (looks up at Star shouting) “WAS RIGHT!””

Toffee:(turns over his hand smugly in the air) “Surprise”

Star:(has her fists balled by her sides and an angry expression with her teeth clenched yet she speaks in a mellow tone) “I am so glad, you’re dead.......on the show”

•Cleaved

-(Behind the Scenes. Almost everyone from the show is surrounded around The Realm of Magic set murmuring to one another. Daron Nefcy marches onto the green screen set of The Realm of Magic while making splashes on the shallow water spread on the ground. She clears her throat and puts her hands on her hips making everyone stop and stare at her)

Director Daron:(loudly and clearly) “Alright, listen up everyone! This is our last episode of the show and I want this done well! You think just cuz it’s the end you can do crazy sh*t like goof around, or do improve or even curse!? Well think again! This isn’t a playground people! This is a ✨spectacle!✨ You all worked for four years to make this a good show and I want you guys to take this seriously! You don’t know how much pride I put into this to make it my “magical girl fantasy” come true! I had to change a lot in this story to get this green lite, work through sleepless nights, have my episodes get premiered a day after the next in a twisted scheduling and deal with psycho fans just to get this done! Now I want you all to get out there and make this the best damn finale a children’s show has done! Even if we might get backlash for it, F**k it! Cuz we gave it our all! Now places everyone! PLACES! (marches out of the set making loud splashes as she departs with everyone in stunned silence)

(Star and Marco walk onto the set with small splashes as the two watch Daron march off looking silent and a bit unnerved)

Star:(rubs her arm) “Ok.........I guess, we’re gonna give it our all then” (laughs nervously)

Marco:(quietly) “If we ever do the reunion show” (points at Star) “You’re sitting next to her, not me!”

-Marco:(grabbing onto Star) “Star! Ok, what’s the plan!?”

Star:(pointing to an upward waterfall) “Uh, you have to go back through the Earth-“ (the upward shooting waterfall slowly starts decreasing as the lights luminate the set and the wind effects stop. The upward waterfall now just spits out bits of water from the tube as objects are lightly blown onto the set from the giant wind fan and The Realm of Magic turns back to a green screen)

Star:”Is someone using all the water supply again!?”

-Mina Loveberry:(walking smugly past Star and her powers) “And the thing about good ideas is they tend to hang arou-Ow!” (stops and picks up her foot groaning in pain and hoping) “Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! OW! Ahhhhhh! Damn it! I stepped on a freakin’ mini pretzel!” (hisses while still holding up her foot and hopping in place) “God! Why did my character have to go all native with their feet!?”

Director Daron:(heard off-screen) “Can someone get some iodine!.......and the janitor!”

-(Marco is skateboarding down the street and falls off. The big build up music stops on a record scratch)

Marco:(groans and sits up on one knee) “Sorry! That wasn’t the big fall yet!” (under his breath as he’s getting up and adjusting himself) “God damn it, Marco! This your last day of shooting and you’re making an a** of yourself!”

Director Daron:(heard off-screen sternly) “DID YOU CURSE!?”

Marco:(panics and waves his hands in front of him) “No! No! No! No! I swear!” (panics more) “I mean, not as in swearing, I mean as in “I swear I didn’t curse!” Really” (laughs nervously)

Smokey brand Movie Reviews: Got Milk

I really hate musicals and plays and the like. Broadway is the worst. I was never a fan of Jersey Boys or Wicked or Les Miserables. I don’t care for the presentation of their plays or the ridiculously over-the-top music. I’m told that Hamilton is nowhere near as gaudy or abrasive as that more prominent fair. It skews closer to Sweeney Todd and The Book of Mormon than Phantom or Cats. God, how awful was Cats? There was a production filmed of the play early on. It was supposed to have a theatrical release but, instead, dropped on Disney+. Since it’s readily available, and I'm running out of new sh*t to watch, i figure why not give Hamilton a shot? Will it live up to the hype for me? Will it even come close to climbing my wall of prejudice against musicals? We’ll see.

The Good

I really like the diversity in this thing. Having so many colored faces, people who look like me, killing it on stage, was fun to see. I’m not a theater kid, i can’t stand it, but i absolutely know that sh*t is quite color deprived. Having Hamilton come through and murder everything so effortlessly while be so unapologetically black, was super dope.

Lin Manuel-Miranda as Alexander Hamilton was pretty good. Dude can’t sing like others on the cast but he has a flow that could give any Soundcloud rapper a proper run for their money. Dude ain’t Eminem or anything but, in regards to this role, he murders that sh*t.

Daveed Diggs is probably my favorite thing about this play. His Marquis de Lafayette was captivating and his Thomas Jefferson was just vicious. Dude has this energy that is rarely matched, which is a lot to say because the entire cast is definitely bringing their A game.

The Schuyler sisters, portrayed by Renee Elise Goldsberry and Jasmine Cephas Jones, were f*cking incredible. Each of their voices ere enchanting and the power behind their songs was enthralling. I was surprised by how well they executed, especially Goldsberry’s flow. Like, goddamn, ma got the shine!

The writing in this thing is mad clever. It takes a lot to make such dry subject matter, pop so fiercely. All of which was flavored with a hip-hop twist. I’m a sucker for lyricism and Hamilton actually has some of the best I've heard in a very long time. Plus, it does a miraculous job of making me actually give a sh*t about US history, even if it’s been neutered for mass consumption.

I must begrudgingly admit, the music in this thing is easily the best I've ever heard in a musical. I hate them so much but I've dated theater chicks and my family is super into these things, so I've seen my share. I almost always hate the music but Hamilton has an appeal that just kinds of worms it’s way into my psyche. It’s probably because I'm black and this sh*t is mad urban in a very real way. A lot of this stuff sounds like 90s R and B and 00s Rap. That’s, like, my sweet spot, musically. I mean, new wave and post punk, all day, but i grew up and came of age on that hip hop sound.

The camera work in this motherf*cker is amazing, i must say. For a production that takes place on one stage, one space, the way this thing is shot goes a long way to making it feel bigger than it really is. One of the things that i don’t care for about stage plays, is how small everything feels. They do little tricks to fool you into thinking there’s more depth with sh*t like dancing in the aisles or interacting with the audience or zip-lining in from a balcony, but it never frees you from the understanding that the production is wildly compact. The camera work and editing on this filmed play does exactly what live shows only attempt to pull off.

The Bad

This thing is very sing-songy. It's like one, big ass, rap. There is no properly spoken dialogue and that’s the sh*t which irks me about stage musicals. Tell me a f*cking story, bro, don’t sing it at me. It’s dope you own a rhyming dictionary but goddamn!

For all of the music and energy, the dance numbers are really subdued. I didn't expect Rent or Cats but at least something. This thing feels like way too much focus was put on the narrative and singing. I guess that works for the type of musical that it is but the sh*t has a mad boring visual component.

This sh*t is two and a half hours long and you feel every second of that sh*t, man. I don't know if this is considered a brisk run-time on stage but for film, it's a slog. Don't misunderstand, I don't mind a long movie as long as it's compelling. There is nothing compelling me with Hamilton.

It’s a play. Sure, it’s on film and has great camera work but it’s all on one stage. One set. One view. I wonder what this would look like if it was properly adapted to film but then i cringe because that would probably be terrible. It’ll definitely end up closer to what happened to the Phantom adaption rather than the Sweeney Todd flick.

The Verdict

I was pretty entertained. It didn’t quite conquer my hate mountain for musicals, but i didn’t dislike what i saw. It had clever production, a huge presence, and a lot of the music was pretty decent. Lin Manuel-Miranda does a fantastic job in the lead and as the driving creative force behind the whole production. Dude is a creative genius and i hope he gets to put his fingertips on more productions like this. Daveed Diggs is probably the strongest performer in this entire thing. He’s a little over the top at times, but fills his roles well. Overall, Hamilton is worth the time to experience but i don’t think it deserves all of the hype. This sh*t feels like a decent Broadway spectacle but it has benefited greatly from the atmosphere in which it was released. a massive, ensemble, production with a hip-hop edge, lousy with diversity, and lead by a person of color? That’s catnip for virtue signalers and there are a TON of those types all over the New York Upper crust. I’m not taking away from Miranda or the rest of the crew, I'm just curious how far this would have gone if it wasn’t so unapologetically black.

Unpopular Opinions/Things that annoy me: Khiphop Edition

KHH Elitists: Now, back in 2015 (yes, that is SHADE for those who can’t catch it) it used to be really popular to think you were ~cooler~ if you were just a KHH fan as opposed to Kpop or at least you liked KHH more. That attitude has mostly died out over the year but now instead of “whole” KHH Elitists we have crew, artist, or label elitists (ex: you don’t know EVERY member of that crew/label? You didn’t know *obscure fact from IG live that was never re-uploaded anywhere after the initial live*? How lame). Regardless, it’s played out and annoying. Stop that sh*t. We ALL have our elitist moments I think but it’s important to recognize that and not get TOO deep into it.

People who tag DPR Live in posts that only feature Christian: Like legit, why is more of DPR Live’s tag on here full of Christian? Is there a problem with the “Christian Yu” or “DPR” or “DPR +Ian” tags on Tumblr? Literally, most of Live’s tag is Christian which is weird AF

Live fans who ALWAYS have to throw shade at Christian fans: Now, this may seem like it’s contradicting my last point but it’s really not. I always see people complaining about Christian fans but I never really see Christian fans doing that much to complain about. Well... besides tagging Dabin in Christian posts. I’ll never get annoyed when y’all complain about that because I actually see that A LOT! 

People who don’t distinguish between genres (this one is petty AF, I know): No, DPR Live does NOT make R&B music. No, Sik-k is NOT an underrated kpop idol. KHH, KR&B, and Kpop are all different “genres” (well, actually it’s more complicated than this but I’m just gonna use the word genres but in quotes so I don’t have to write y’all a whole MLA formatted essay on music). It’s not all Kpop just because it comes out of Korea. Oddly enough, even a MAJOR KHH veteran considers him and his group to be Kpop despite the fact that pretty much everybody else considers him and his group to be KHH legends lol (Hi, Danny from 1tym!).

I STRONGLY prefer Sik-K to Jay Park: In terms of music, Jay should stick to R&B and let Sik-K do the rapping. Maybe they can do a duo or something like CoRay. Loco is clearly the superior rapper so Gray stays in his lane and sings/produces. The blueprint is already there!

I STRONGLY prefer Woogie to Cha Cha: There’s not much else to say there.  Female rappers need to sing less and male rappers need to sing more: A LOT of male rappers can actually sing. Young B, Simon D, Mino, etc. However, most people don’t really know that cause they don’t utilize it on their songs. On the other hand, quite a few female rappers can’t really sing that great but they still utilize it on songs. It’s kinda weird tbh. Jessi and Cheetah are really the only female rappers who can sing like that tbh. Super Bee was robbed ALL season long on SMTM777: IDK why he kept doing that show for so long tbh. He’s been done dirty on almost every season even though he gave them so many iconic moments. I guess he’s in a really good place so it doesn’t matter.

Loopy and Super Bee should have been the top 2 on SMTM777: PERIODT!

HSR has the same problem that UPRS had: The inaugural season will always be superior to the ones that came after. The rappers on season one were just a special bunch that can’t be replicated.

I can’t think of anymore right now but yeah!
