✧˖°.⁺‧˚ ♡ Happy Mid-Autumn Festival ♡ ˚‧⁺ ✧˖°.

alt version

culture rambles below the cut if you're interested :)

The left row of chinese means Happy Mooncake Festival, which is also another name for Happy Mid-Autumn festival :D

"但愿人长久，千里共婵娟" roughly translate to: "We wish each other a long life to share the beauty of this graceful moonlight, even if we are miles apart" This saying is often used to express longing and love for the people we love that are far apart :]

This event is usually celebrated at night, where family and friends gather around for a reunion :3 The moon is brightest and roundest on this day - "圆" is often used to symbolize fullness and harmony! And then we also do some thanksgiving and praying to be grateful

mooncakes and lanterns!! mooncakes usually have the traditional version and snow skin version (冰皮) lanterns(at my place) is either paper or my fav type - glass paper lanterns! the rabbit one I drew its based off this, often accompany with bright color paint on them :3

nowadays, lanterns are usually electronic with sounds and light! I still prefer the traditional ones tho -w- If you read everything then bless you hehe <3

It’s just a party.

Hii everybody!!!

I’m so happy to share this fic with you guys :D

It’s based on the “10 things I hate about you” party scene.

I did a poll on who you’d rather have as a male lead and you guys chose: GOJO•*.

I tried my best on this so enjoy!!!

I'm not going satoru.

Famous last words of mine being taken back at this very moment. Here I am; out on a Friday night at some football wide receiver's house in a fancy neighborhood who's parents are out of town. Probably at boca or something too, get away.

Typically, this means a party till the neighbours call the cops and it gets shut down. I'm not one to go out at all. Not even often. I'’d rather stay home with latest novel and Friday night special of my favourite show. But nooo~ Mr. "My Friends Place will be fun" decided to drag me along since his latest fling decided to leave him for some artist since he's more in "depth" and "considerate." Trust me when I had to listen to his hour long rant about how it was, "wack" she left him, a quaterback, 6’4, phat, who was da bomb." For a "lowlife, artist wannabe, scrub." That's about it I presume.

Quit buggin. You never go out, you know girls who don't come out and party get cheated on?

His tone hinted teasing, he knows no man can live up to my standards.

Well luckily I don't have a boyfriend.

| shoot him a quick cheeky grin and immediately drop it. As we pull up to the house in his, can you believe, Honda. Satoru knew his car was better, and expensive, so he made sure to flaunt whenever he could. I step out the car and walk up the steps to hear big boom blasting a song which I partially recall from somewhere. My eye catches the residence sign; "Geto residence. 411." Of course it's suguru geto. He's not notorious for throwing ragers, although he has quite a reputation for getting the cops and neighborhood watch called on his house...

Screaming and loud yelling coming from the beginning of the hallways as we step into the house. Immediately suguru joins us with shoko beside him smoking a cig. Sator dabs up suguru back and greets him. My hand is pulled out my jeans pocket and motioned a wave to suguru, he just smiles back warmly and takes gojo with him somewhere while shoko links her arms with me and sits me down between some stoners and heavy drinkers while she mingles along them lighting a blunt in her hand simultaneously. I just stare into the abyss as I don't have a clue what to do nor say. l've never been to these parties. The only party l've been to recently is my uncle's 40th birthday party with him going on and on about his new landline and how it's "wireless.” But that's a story for another time.

Do I know you?

Some random guy sits next to me with a giant bottle of booze in his hand, clearly reeks of alcohol which I can tell he's wasted. He takes another sip of the bottle before he says to me:

Hey aren't you the chick in my math class? The like, super smart one? Dude your like such a ner-.

The music takes over my train of thought and whatever he said trailed off. The next thing I know is he shoves a shot of some type of liquid in my face and ushers me to drink it.

No thanks, I don't drink.

C’mon, don’t be a buzz kli. You want everyone to think you are one? Just take it-

Honestly I'm good-

I don't have a clue whether it was the loud blasted music speaker in the right corner of my ear telling me or the urge to, but I took that shot out his hand and smacked it down. The hard liquor going down my throat felt hot and strong. The taste was bitter with a hint of caramel. Judging by the feel of it, it was a hard and heavy concentration of alcohol. Maybe I'm a flyweight or just can't hold my liquor, but everything was a flash from there on out.

I'm walking down a dimmed hallways between screaming teens and bottles surround the floor, limping sort of mindlessly going, somewhere? Music changes from hard loud rap to something groovy and mellow. And I find, eventually, satoru surrounded by girls and suguru on his side with a drink in his hand.

Satoru notices me coming towards him and focuses on me moving to him like a zombie with me rubbing my head from spinning.

Hey sweet thing, where've you been?

Hmm?

All I could get out is a grunt and lean against his side as he puts his arm around me continuously talking to his friends. He notices how I'm sort of out of it and ask me if I'm okay?

Am-goothhss (I'm good.)

You sure? You drank something weird? Maybe I shouldn't have left you with shoko.

What you mean? Quit buggin-

I'm buggin? You know what lets dip I can't let anything bad happen to you, your dad'll freak if he sees me dropping his daughter off wasted at this late. Suguru I’m gonna bounce-

Nooo~. Im gonna dance!

He can tell my words are slurring and realizes my full drunk. Wondering how in the world that happened, dancing music starts to boom through speakers and I leave satorus side and head towards the dance circle formed in the middle of the house.

Wait- y/n! Don't go there- c'mon man! I gotta take you home..

This shirts too hot and I feel so suffocated. I take my Full sleeve tee off and luckily I'm wearing a tank underneath it so l'm not completely naked. I throw the shirt on the floor and satoru picks it up still coming after me, he grabs me by the wrist and jerks me back to come with him. I jut my arm down for him to let go and suddenly l'm dancing with some randos moving to the beat. Sator just stands there in disbelief with my top in his hand, his eyes staring at my arms flail up and side to side as my hips do the same. Suddenly I'm pulled up by my arms and onto a table in the middle of the corridor. All eyes are on me and I get sort of shy thinking for a moment what am I doing? I make an impulse and grab a shot out some guys hand who doesn't seem to mind and gulp it down. I put that shot glass down and Continue moving to the beat as others around me as well. The party's going on as more people join the dance circle and start to move as well.

Satorus eyes widen with shock as suguru comes up to him and smirks while whispering to him:

That's your lady right there entertaining other guys, you gonna do something?

As he's told that he looks around to see almost every guy staring at you dancing with a perverted look in their eyes, some trying to skim through the crowd and approach you- he feels a sort of rage and jealousy brush over him and leaves suguru side who's still smirking as he watches. Satoru forcefully pushing others aside, grabs you by the waist and puts you over his shoulder while heading towards the door. You too drunk to even register what was happening look up and realise your being taken. You don't worry although as you understand it's satoru.

What are you doing satoruuu~ I wanteh to danceuh...

You’re drunk y/n. We're leaving right now.

Who are you, my father? Stop worrying and let's partayuh-!

My words keep on slurring which cause gojo to smirk and sigh with exasperation.

Maybe I shouldn't have urged you to come out tonight. Especially since all those guys have the nerve to stare at you like what, imagine what they were thinking...

Whut???

Nothing. Just next time, don't be putting on a show for guys.

He opens the car door and places you in it. As he gets in he makes sure your all right- to only see you passed out slouching against the window. He brushes back your hair that's in your mouth as you snore away. He thinks to himself why he's seething with jealousy right now? He's never looked at you in this type of light before. You?! His best friend. You weren't the type of girls he wasn't into at all. You stayed home all day unless it was school or the library. You rarely wore dresses unless it was a special occasion, you had more pairs of jeans that the average person and read for fun. Fun! He's seen you as if you were a Brother.

So why was he so tempted to kiss you right now?.

I regain my consciousness to see it's still dark out and I'm pulling up in front of my house.

Satoru what time is it?

W-what?

What's the time???

That was weird..

Uhh- it's about.. 2:00 in the morning.

What?! No way my dad'll kill me!

Wait- y/n

He stops my hand from opening the door and I look back at him. His blue eyes lock on mine as he stutters to say something.

I-I. do gosh why am I stuttering?! Do you remember tonight?!

No, not really. Gosh my heads pounding.

Satoru looks conflicted on whether or not he should say what he feels like or let you peacefully go to bed. Heavy breaths, eye contact locked on with raw emotion piercing through them, just wanting to tell you something- anything!

Nevermind, Sleep tight.

..Tonight was fun, bye.

He watched her open the cars door and slump out walking to the door. Glancing at him for a second before unlocking the door and stepping in closing the door behind her.

Maybe next time..

Tch- dammit satoru.

Y’all, Shinsou Hitoshi’s character development is actually pretty subtle, but definitely noticeable if you rewatch the first season he appears in mha after watching later seasons. This is most likely due to him having a mentor now, and yes he was an ass in the sports festival arc, but he’s definitely grown as a person(character) since then. Although I have not gotten to watch season seven yet, you can really see a clear example of the way he applies himself in the class a vs class b training battles.

First off, he now has support gear, which is super important(in my opinion) for heroes in training to have and even pro heroes. Because quirks are just tools if you think about it. I’ll go into a rant about that in another post, but the point is our insomniac has more versatility with his quirk than in the sports festival arc.

Also, he’s a very clever guy. Dude taunted people in the sports festival just to gain control of them. Not only is that super smart, but it’s also chaotic af and I love that he’s an actually menace to society. In the class training battles, his support gear helped alter his voice so his opponents would be more susceptible to responding to his voice. It’s absolutely insane and I love the thought that was put into his costume design.

I’m not entirely sure if Shinsou is planning on being an underground hero like Eraserhead(I’m almost positive he is, but I don’t want to spread false information), but his quirk would excel in hostage situations, robberies, and assisting with arrests.

I feel like he’s an amazing character for mha! I just love analyzing characters, so if you have any requests feel free to use up my ask inbox!!

Stay groovy, friends!

Verdict on All classic Sonic Zones pt 6 (Sonic 1, Sonic CD, Sonic 2, Sonic 3, Sonic & Knuckles, & Sonic Mania)

Sonic Mania:

Angel Island Zone: Great Cutscene & Unless Ur in Encore Mode U Can't Play the Zone Regularly, but if Ur in Encore Mode, then this Zone Is Cool to be back in, i guess.

Green Hill Zone Act 1: Here Me Out! What if we Take Green Hill Zone and give it better level design and enhance its Music. I Like this version of Green Hill Zone Better than The Sonic 1 Version. Green Hill Zone Act 2: Awesome Visuals and Level Aesthetic with Great Music & Level Design + New Gimmicks!

Chemical Plant Zone Act 1: Great Music Remix and Better Level Design. Chemical Plant Zone Act 2: Syringes that change Raw Mega Mack to bouncy jelly? Yes Please! DNA Strands That take up And Sticky Jelly Platforms? I Like That! & A Boss Based around DR. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine! U Can't Go Wrong with This Act & Its Remixed Music! Studiopolis Zone Act 1: Lights, Camera, Action! The Music, Level Aesthetics, & Speed Sections are awesome. there's even a Throwback to the Sega Sonic Popcorn Shop and The Lock on Cartridge Technology Form Back in the Day when Sega Had Made Sonic & Knuckles! Studiopolis Zone Act 2: Its Prime Time! If Ur Looking for Gimmicks up the Wazoo & Better Level Design, Then This Act is Ur choice. It's Actually My Choice over Act 1 (Lights, Camera, Action!) but act one is a Very Close Second!

Flying Battery Zone Act 1: The Remixed Music Is Great, Better Level Design Than The original, And a great New Mechanic! (Electric Shield on the Electric Roofs) Flying Battery Zone Act 2: Great Act 2 Remix Music & Level Design. + the Rain aesthetics & Reference to wacky workbench were nice touches. Bad Boss Though...

Press Garden Zone Act 1: Working in the Tabloid Jargon! The Music Is Phenomenally Amaizing! The Level aesthetics and Gimmicks are Awesome & The Level Design Is Really Good + There's a lot of references to Launch Base Zone. This is Definitely a great Zone and My 2nd Favorite. It's also Great to listen to this while Ur working or cleaning! (I don't see a lot of people caring about the 1st act of PGZ, just listen to the Music and you'll see!) Press Garden Zone Act 2: Its A Blossom Haze! NGL, i think PGZ ACT 2 is Awesome. Blossom Haze Is Really Chill and Stuff with Ice Blowers From ICZ, Ice Spikes & New Mechanics. Though all that's Awesome, I don't want People to Forget Tabloid Jargon the Greatest Work Ethic Sonic Zone and also the only Sonic Work Ethic Zone, Cause many of People Forget Press Garden Zone (Mainly Act 1), But This Zone Should Be a National Zone Treasure. Act 2 Is Still Awesome but i Prefer Act 1.

Stardust Speedway Zone Act 1: Groovy Dude! The Sonic Mania Remix Was So Solid Man! They Bring Back Every Groovy Part of the original SSZ From CD with great Level Design, Groovy Elements, And Many References to Marble Garden Zone! Stardust Speedway Zone Act 2: Now here's The Superior Act Between The two, the first Act and The Second act are tied For Best act Music but there are lots of things to like in this act, especially the Metal Sonic Boss!

HydroCity Zone Act 1: I love HydroCity Zone, Especially Act 2 but Act 1 Really Wins the award for Most Gimmicks and Gameplay. Its Great to See a Zone Like This Return, Especially Since Sonic Mania Needed a good Water Zone and I'm Absolutely Astounded that it returned & That the Music Is Remixed to the point where i could sit and listen to it for hours. HydroCity Zone Act 2: NGL, I'm Just as Happy Seeing HydroCity Return in Sonic Mania as Etika & Cobanermani 456 are. HydroCity Was a Great Nostalgic Return, I Loved Everything about This Act in S3&K and I Love Everything About It Here! I'm Glad They Didn't Change the Gimmicks and just Stayed True to the original, And That Remix Is Fire!

Mirage Saloon Zone Act 1: Skyway Octane Is a Great Music Piece & The Zone Has Some Great Aesthetics, But I'm Not a Fan of the Plane Part or the Boss. I Do like That Team Hooligans returned as part of the act 2 Boss & I do Like the Knuckles Version of Act 1 Called Wildstyle Pistolero. Mirage Saloon Zone Act 2: So, as I Stopped by The Rogues Gallery, I Noticed, This Music Is Bomb! It's Really Great. Here's the Weirdest part, I used to hate MSZ Before I played Sonic Mania. Now that i Know that this Zone is Great, I can say that I love the Handguns, Pinatas, Lightbulbs, Bumpalos, The Water Sprayers, and The Boss!

Oil Ocean Zone Act 1: Well i didn't expect this one to return, they had to have a Balancer Zone (AKA control Variable) in there and here it is. I never Liked his zone until it got a Great Mania Remix & Better Level Design Oil Ocean Zone Act 2: Thí- Hey Wait a Minute... It's JUST SANDOPOLIS ZONE IN DISGUISE! WHY SONIC MANIA, WHY DID U THINK THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA! OF ALL IDEAS YOU COULD HAVE BRUNG BACK, U BRING THIS BACK! (Calming Down) At least the music is great, but it gives off a Desert music Feeling which isn't the best feeling.

Lava Reef Zone Act 1: NGL, I love the Comeback, i Love the Mania Remix, I love the New Mechanics and Aesthetics like the bridges & Buttons, but I kind of prefer the Original Because 16-bit music for this zone is awesome & Nostalgia. This Music track is awesome whether or not the Original Inches forward or not. Lava Reef Zone Act 2: The Mystic Cave Feeling and The Cooled Crystal Feeling Have Been Amplified Due to the Music & Atmosphere. The Mechanic from Quartz Quadrant Was a Nice Touch & The Music Is Really Good with a Soft guitar Playing, Awesome!

Metallic Madness Zone Act 1: Bro, if you hate this act, u don't Know life. This Zones Music Is Fire, there's lots of Mechanics True to The Original and new Mechanics, the Music Is Phenomenal, The Level Aesthetics are Greatly Respected & The level Design is Great. I even thought out my own Lyrics (First verse: Check the Mic, Yō, We'll Break Down the Madness. Roll Out the Door, Straight Up, Storm the Castle. Imma Blast off, I Have No Fatigue. Out Of My League, Naughty Egg, You Can See the Crew. Second Verse: Now, Check Out my moves, check out My Speed, How's It really Feeling? Going Fast with The Doctor at My Feet. I Live in The Fast Track. You're Getting In my Way. I Carry the Day "Hey!" Cause I (Na, Na, Na, Na) RUN!). At least I think they're the right ones. Metallic Madness Zone Act 2: Oh Man! That Saxophone, The Level Aesthetics, Chibi Sonic, And the Music in General Is All So Awesome! Though Spikes up the wazoo are not fun, but the zone's music tells me to forget about it.

Titanic Monarch Zone Act 1: I'm in no Monarch... well unless u count this zone (Rim Shot). We All Know this Zone Was Built to Rule (Name of the Song), But It Has its Ups and Downs Like the Death Egg Act 1 Boss Came Back, The Mechanics & Gimmicks are awesome, The Spikes & Enemies Get even more tedious, and The Level aesthetic was heading for a Robot Building in Progress like Launch Base. so out of everything, this zone is just bad. Titanic Monarch Zone Act 2: If you hated final bosses in sonic Games, then you'll hate this One! I sure do! I don't like how if you're not careful, you'll get sent to the beginning of the area. Really tedious Stuff. The Steel Cortex music is good, but not the best music.

Egg Reverie Zone: The true final boss is pretty hard, but it doesn't have the best music compared to the big arms fight.

I've finished Episode Thirteen, and I am utterly, thoroughly ruined.

It's making me feel the exact same way I felt at the end of House of Leaves and myhouse.wad. Like, I cannot stress enough how good this book was, and if you are in this sort of weird liminal horror, you've got the check this book out. But also, if you are interested, pleased stop reading this.

The ending, I fucking loved. Kevin has been a character I sorta kept going back and forth about how I felt about him, and once he killed Jake, easily my best man, I just lost whatever chance I had at liking him. I understand what he was going through and I sympathize with that, but you don't touch the Techno Viking. Matt and Claire's ending was just....super cool. I honestly don't even know how to explain it.

And of course there is Rashida, the star of the show. I don't know what the author was trying to convey in that final scene, but it feels clear to me that her whole time loop hell had a toll on her, and that this is still her actually alive, probably right after Claire escorted her out of the labyrinth.

I loved the whole House of Leaves vibe this book. The labyrinth, Minotaur, a horror story that is really just a love story. And of course the whole Navidson Record feel this whole book had, the only thing that's missing is the person who compiled all of those documents together interjecting randomly to talk about his extremely depressing but active sex life.

I started this book when it was around eight, and it is now nine in the morning so yeah....that's how I've decided to use my entire day. I should probably take a break from looking at this screen for a while so my eyes don't explode like they tend to do.

Go check out this book, and stay groovy, my dudes!

2023 Year End List - #11

El Diablo En El Cuerpo - Álex Anwandter

Main Genres: Synth Pop, Dance Pop

A decent sampling of: Electro-Disco, Synth Funk, Electro Pop

Yet another entry on the list that I discovered this year while looking for records from outside the Anglosphere. And again, it's another artist from Latino-America.

I already said this in an old review, so I'm just gonna reiterate my stance briefly again - the 21st century 80s synth pop revivalism wave has been very hit or miss. And I'm mostly talking about the stuff that very clearly is actually paying homage to 80s music, not just any artist who happens to make bleeps and bloops.

But yeah, hit or miss. Some of it is frankly very dull and uninspired, and makes me wanna just put on some classic Depeche Mode or Strawberry Switchblade instead.

But when it hits, it hits hard, somehow managing to justify this ""trend"" that's been going on far too long to even be considered a trend anymore. Let's face it - the whole 80s synth pop / synth funk / sophistopop sound is here to stay forever, and I think that's for the best, even if occasionally I get a little exhausted from the over-saturation.

Anyways, moving on to the artist.

Álex Andwandter is a queer Chilean alternative pop artist and director based out of Santiago. He's collaborated with one of my own favourites, fellow Chilean indie/alt pop artist Javiera Mena (who makes a guest appearance on this record!). The dude has been active for over a decade now, so again, I'm a bit late to the party. Cut me some slack; I'm a gringo.

Álex himself sings in a bright, chipper, falsetto-y tenor full of sunshine and rainbows, sounding every bit as colourful as the classic synthesizer sounds that he incorporates into his music, though he also has a more dark and seductive register that he often injects into his steamier dance songs.

El Diablo En El Cuerpo ("The Devil in the Body"), his latest offering and my first introduction to his discography, is classic dancey, funky synth pop with a lot of sincerity and a few pinches of homoerotic mystique sprinkled in here and there. A very indulgent record for you to just lose yourself in the glitter and glam of it all. Basically, this is some utopian gay space shit (shout out to those who get the meme) and I am here for it.

Nothing could prepare me for the tantalizing and straight-up badass electro-disco thunderstorm that is "Qué piensas hacer sin mi amor?" ("What do you think you will do without my love?"). Anwandter channels Depeche Mode, Soft Cell, and Donna Summer all at once on this fierce juggernaut that's absolutely soaking with erotic tension. Puts me right in the middle of the dimmest, sweatiest fucking over-crowded dancefloor in some sleazy ass gay bar on a goth night at 1:00 am, and I'm too drunk to feel anything except the pounding pulse of the rhythm and the arousal of strangers rubbing up against me....ahem, is it hot in here? Anyways, eat your heart out Troye Sivan ("Rush" is great too, I'm mostly just memeing).

In contrast, the following track "Precipicio" ("Precipice") gives off a very 'classy' vibe - more cocktail dresses and glowing white LED dancefloors, less BDSM goth fetish gear and sweaty dankness. Some nice, sexy funky horns on this one that really brings the whole thing together. I also LIVE for Álex's sassy twink diva vibes all over this track; gets me almost as h-word as the previous track.

"Toda la noche" ("All Night") is anthemic synth funk that's giving a little bit of INXS. Groovy and life-affirming feel good shit that I would snort if I could. I want this to be the soundtrack of my own silly little 80s romance that's all about being young in the big city.

"Vamos de nuevo" ("Let's Go Again") is less of a nocturnal dancefloor number, and more something you might skip along to down the sidewalk on a sun shower summer's day with your hot pink Sony Walkman. Gorgeous upbeat vibraphone and detuned synth keys providing a backdrop for foolishly lovesick lyrics. My other favourite cut off the album, after the obvious one.

At the end of the day, the record is definitely a bit frontloaded, and it wears me out a little bit with its sixteen tracks in total. I understand this is probably meant to be the kind of record you play late at night when you're ready to get wasted and dance your heart out until you pass out; I just think it could be sequenced to have more of the outright bangers towards the end. But putting that aside, this was my second favourite dance record in a very stacked year for dance records, and it's certainly my favourite on the more disco/house/funky/electro-y end of the spectrum. El Diablo En El Cuerpo is simple, hot, memorable fun with a lot of exquisite taste. I can't imagine anyone in my own life that I couldn't successfully recommend this album to. So go on, embrace your inner gay synth pop twink.

8/10

Highlights: "Qué piensas hacer sin mi amor?", "Vamos de nuevo", "Precipicio", "Toda la noche", "Tienes una idea muy antigua del amor", "prediciendo la runa", "Unx de nosotrxs (feat. Javiera Mena)"

[itwas50yearsagotoday]

7/31/23: It was 50 years ago this month, July 1973, Barry Manilow... yes, THE Barry Manilow... would release his self-titled debut album. I cannot think of a more divisive character in 1970's pop. My first Pop music awareness came about in the immediate post-Disco era early 1980s, where perhaps due to the reactionary times so much music that had just recently popular was now being flushed out by the zeitgeist, not least of all by the emergence of MTV. On one of my favorite all-time sitcoms WKRP In Cincinnati, the burnout boomer DJ Doctor Johnny Fever stated on more than one occasion his distaste for Manilow. Interesting to me, my cousin, who is about six years older than me, just gushes over the dude, but that time (late-70s non-Disco pop) was her wheelhouse. Anyway, in the TV show The Orville (great show, btw, if you are a TNG fan) Seth MacFarlane reveals his admiration for Manilow, and he is almost exactly my age. So I don't know... I'm trying to take him a face value, and mostly it's kinda meh. The really BIG song on this record, which actually wouldn't be a big hit for another couple years (post 'Mandy' ugh) is 'Could It Be Magic'... it's just a bit too much for me, feels so overproduced. Now, interestingly, there a couple tracks I kinda like here: the super-fast 'Cloudburst' is kinda unique and very fun; then there is 'Oh My Lady' which starts out as kind of a minor-key 'Feelin' Alright' by Joe Cocker, but it ends up being a pretty groovy little rocker. Speaking of rocker, Manilow completely sounds like Grand Funk Railroad on the semi-embarrassing 'Flashy Lady'. Most of this record reminds me of Bette Midler: I recognize the talent, but it's just not my style of music. Barry seems like an okay guy though, and perhaps should not be so maligned. Fun fact: Manilow was Midler's pianist when she performed at a NYC gay bathhouse in the early 1970s, which is how she came to prominence, with Manilow following in her footsteps... one could argue certainly that in the late '70s Manilow was the much bigger star, but probably Midler (due to her acting roles in the 1980s) had more staying power. Anywho... couple decent songs, but not really my thing.

A somber nod met Wade's words, "... yeah." He mumbled in agreement, a heavy weight to the air. He was grateful for the change of topic a couple moments later. "Hey you know yourself better than I do, I'm just goin' off what I've seen tonight and I think a kid could do a lot worse. 'least you'd have their back." Where had his old man been all night, when Rock had been hurt and upset? Nowhere to be seen. As per usual... "But yeah, it's definitely not a choice you wanna make on the fly."

Speaking of his old man... A problem with whoever's saying that. A shrug met the gentle words, eyes taking in the cracks of the sidewalk. "I dunno... probably a bit, but... 's complicated." As for mistakes being important? He considered the words, slowly leaning into them, "Guess so. You'd think, I mean, that's kinda how the scientists do it, right? Try to prove how things don't work, so they can narrow down how they do? But that doesn't mean there's no consequences... I dunno, I didn't think I was in the wrong tonight. I was just tryin' to help out, 'cause he got distracted, burnt some pasta. How dare I not want a fuc-" He swore, "-in' fire started, right?" As if the house didn't have enough problems as it was.

Wade's apology drew his gaze up, ever so briefly, and then he took another sip of lemonade, and shrugged. "'s fine, it's just a spat. No biggie." He was used to brushing things off, the words came out instinctively, practically on autopilot. Because he had to cover his tracks.

You wanna be sent to a foster home? 'way from me, where you're nothin' but a pay check to 'em?

No! No I don't!

Wait- Wade was offering to let him stay at his place? The boy looked to him, bewildered, but the man was quick to follow up with a dismissal of the idea. "I mean, I'm sixteen, would the state make that big 'a fuss if I wanted to hang out?" He snorted, "But yeah man, don't worry about it. 'm alright. I'll deal." And then Wade was making more offers. Rockland looked to him with disbelief. He wouldn't hold him to it, they hadn't even discussed Lord of the Rings over email yet, nevermind staying in contact long enough for Rock to consider reaching out if he needed some support, but, "... thanks, that's... I've got a couple people in my corner, but-but that means a lot, and I'll let you know, if somethin' comes up."

When it came to Wade's crew, the teen nodded empathetically, he couldn't imagine the loss.

He did have the most experience, alright, Rock could see why he felt an added weight of responsibility on that front. Bail jumping sounded intense. As Wade listed off the various weapons, the teen's brows raised, a murmured "whoah'" leaving his lips. "... That really sucks, Man. I'm sorry... It doesn't sound like there's really any way you could've known it would'a turned out like that, if there weren't any signs." His voice was gentle, stepping tentatively, with the delicate subject.

And then there was the opera, and Rock was cracking up. His cheeks felt like quivering jell-o. "I dunno, man! I'm not gonna judge you on your music tastes. I don't even know what an aria is, though." While he wasn't judging on the others, an enthusiastic nod of approval met Wade's fondness for rock music. "Dude, my name is Rockland. What kinda music do you think I like? No but seriously, rock is pretty great. I like folk music too, depends on the mood. And the buskers down at Central, they've got some groovy tunes from time to time. You been there yet? The park?"

A sheepish snort met the question, when it came to his Mom. "Yeah, don't have any siblings 'far as I'm aware." A nod met the sentiment, a soft, "Yeah," even if his feelings on his Mom were complicated. He didn't really feel like getting into it right then. He didn't really know all that much about her, apart from what his Dad mentioned on rare occasions; She'd been a professor, Rock figured she'd maybe taught something to do with plants, if the book he'd found under Caleb's bed was anything to go off of. And she'd left he and his Dad, when Rock had been a baby.

Just ran off.

He'd grown up wondering about her. Where she was. Why she'd left him behind. He'd grown up angry with her, and yet longing for her return. The longing had been pushed to the side, the older he got. The anger had fizzled out. Yet he still carried her watch. It had become a comfort item as a kid, like his giraffe stuffy.

Hold up- a migrating goose? That broke Rockland out of his thoughts, where was he going with- Laughter crackled from his throat, "Yeah, nobody wants to get slugged by goose ass. Haven't even heard anything about that bein' good luck. What a rotten deal." The teen grinned, shaking his head with amusement.

Well that caught their attention alright. A middle finger had shot into the air, directed at a group of teens across the street who were hovering by a Duncan Donuts long closed for the night. The boy beneath the hoodie, propelling said finger, sneered. Just like that, the group of five moved towards him, the tallest, Shacks, sauntering forward with an irritating air of confidence. And to think, there'd been a time when Rockland had thought he was cool.

"You can't seriously blame us, Rocky." He looked to the others with cruel amusement, "It was a prank, get a sense of hum-" Too busy searching for the favour of his crew, he'd missed the draw of the younger teen's fist before it met his cheek.

"Prank my ass, I could've been arres-oof." Rockland was tackled by Archie, the smallest of the bunch, who was about a head shorter than he was, but kinda stalky for his age, and with the element of surprise on his side. Cane clattering out of hand, and across the sidewalk, the lanky teen scraped across the pavement, electric pain radiating up from his tailbone. He caught the breath that had been knocked out of him just in time to catch the thump of a fist to the nose in return. - For Wade

Wade didn't know what to make of this city yet. He'd only been here a couple days and was still trying to get his bearings. It wasn't a bad city, he thought, just cold. Just... really cold when you're alone, like all cities are. Nevertheless, Wade did some hunting and stocked up on other supplies, always wanting to stay on the move. That's how he got jobs, and that's how he kept sane.

Tonight had been quiet enough so far... that is until he heard sounds of a fight. But a fight... between kids? Was he hearing this right? Wade made his way toward the sounds, and sure enough, some kids whose parents were absent and whose bedtimes must be fast-approaching were going at it. Or rather, several kids were beating up on one unfortunate one.

"Hey! Come on, cut it out, what the hell're you guys doin'?!" Wade yelled, hoping to scatter the bullies. "You know better than this, get off him! Don't make me call the cops!" he said, watching as they all scattered... save for one. Wade knelt down beside the boy lying on the ground. "Hey, buddy, you okay?" he asked gently.

If karma doesn't hit you, I fucking will. 

Ok, first of all, what the fuck? 

All the sudden I got a random burst of energy, and I think it's my body's last hurrah before it completely shut down. 

Oh and for your information, I don't have an ego. My facebook photo is a landscape.

Money... Is like president trading cards.

Guess I'll drink my sorrows away.

Woah dude, premarital handholding? That’s just not cool or groovy.

I'm feeling it! What am I feeling? Death, probably.

And remember, if I get harsh with you it is only because you’re doing it all wrong.

Welp. Time to wash the blood off my hands.

I'm not superstitious... But I am a little stitious.

Robbery and Fraud. I am a Rebel.

Alcohol is delicious! ...I mean, MAlicious. Sorry guys, I’m really drunk right now.

If I stay in bed I'll be warm. If I get in the shower, I'll also be warm. But the distance between the bed and shower? No. That is not warm. 

Maybe the real monster was the friends we both literally and figuratively murdered along the way. 

My expectations were low but holy fuck 

I came out here to attack people and I'm honestly having such a good time right now.

I just learned a way to get stuff on the cheap. Steal it!

I know what a prism is! It's where you put bad people.

Does anyone know how to relax? Asking for a friend.

I am very small and I have no money, so you can imagine the kind of stress that I'm under.

If I see a bug, I simply leave the room elegantly and require someone else do something about it.  If no one fulfills my wish, I simply never go back in there. 

I’ve never smoked marijuana. I ate a brownie once at a party. It was intense. It was kind of indescribable. I felt like I was floating. Turns out there was no pot in the brownie. It was just an insanely good brownie. 

I'm naturally funny because my life is a joke.
