~ ~ ~ : Line by Line Lyrics scenario ending.

//We fight, We get high holding onto love

We came down cause there was nothing holding us.//

Y/n was Zabdiel's best friend. Ever since the day she had stood up for him and patched him up after that rough fight back in middle school.Ever since that day, the two have been inseparable. The both of them were blessed with beautiful voices, always spending their time practicing hard. So when Zabdiel turned 17, he decided to audition for La Banda. Having originally being from Britain, Y/N had decided to go back to her hometown, Manchester and audition for the X-Factor to prove her worth to the world wanting to pursue a solo career in pop music despite spending half of her childhood in Puerto Rica. But despite the conflicting and busy lives they've had, she was there..there when he needed her, him doing the same. She was absolutely overjoyed and practically launched onto him as she hugged him to pieces as she kept congratulating him. He was there for her last performance...stood beside her and consoled her when she got eliminated from the top 3 finalists.

He was downright disappointed but not for long..The night she lost the X-factor, she had won a couple millions of hearts. She continued to pursue her interest..creating music, covering songs of artists she hoped she'd sing along with one day. Her hard work and determination paid off when she got a call asking her if you was interested of being a part of the ISLAND RECORDS. She was thrilled, ecstatic and overjoyed. And within a span of months, she had made her mark, slowly but an unforgotten mark. Zabdiel was there, like always to support her throughout her important phase of her life. It was harder to be there for each other as they had their own careers to pursue.

But when they had been recording in Miami for their own albums, they could spent plenty of time together. Zabdiel had practically dragged her towards the boys even though she opposed the idea fearing that she'd just fangirl on their faces (She was a huge fan of theirs..). But anyways after a few pleadings from Zabdiel she agreed..She had met them backstage after their final performance but it was pretty rushed and informal. So after she had formally (not that she needed it considering how much she knew about them) been introduced to the three boys (Erick, Richard and Joel) apart from Zabdiel, she began talking to them. After a while she had felt thirsty and excused herself to get some water. She had gotten up from the couch and headed towards the small pantry room in their studio.

"Hermosa no está allí!" Erick yells as he stood up from the couch rushing towards her

But obviously before she could turn around and ask him what he meant she had stumbled on a a thin rope like thing, an icy cold bucket of water emptying onto her, as she fell over.

"Ayyy!! Ya deberías bañarse Zabdie!" A voice says as strings of laughter enters into the room.

Y/N growled as she sat down smoothing her hair, not even bothering to look up at the person. The rest of the boys looked (more like glared at the person who had just entered).

"Ayy...No sabie que tenias novia, Erick." The person speaks as he kneels down

"No es mi novia Papi.." Erick replies rolling his eyes.

Y/N cleared her hair away from her face as she saw an extended hand in front of her face..as she gratefully accepted it.

"Thank you..." She whispers as she looks at the boy straightening her posture.

Christopher Velez..her all time favorite member...

"Noo te precupes...and nena it's my fault..." The boy said as he looked at her.

'Shit...she was downright beautiful....' was all that crossed his mind as he gazed at her

Y/N's gaze shifted from his face to to his shirtless torso. Her face flushed into a shade of pink quickly diverting her gaze when she saw him cover his bare chest with his arms, feeling self conscious all of a sudden.

"Err...Okay! Hasta luego, tengo que ir! adiós Hermosa!" He says as he rushes off casually.

Christopher...Charming as always.

"Mi Amol... Let's get you dried up.. Chris is always - -" Zabdiel begins as he hands her out a towel allowing her to dry herself up

"I know... He's always like that..It's okay Z..Pranks are meant to be taken in a positive manner."

"Okay...well let's get you changed into something comfortable." Zabdiel says as he holds her hand and head towards a room to get clothes for her.

' ' '

"Oh come on! Dry up alreadyy!" Y/N groans as she uses a hair dryer to dry off her hair

Before she can grumble about how much she hated drying her hair, she hears a knock on the door

"Come in..." She says as she keeps drying her almost dry hair

She turns around as she sees Christopher standing next to the door nervously as he looked at her

"Oh come on in...Why are you standing there?"

"Oh...Sorry...I..." He nervously trails off as he closes the door behind and walks towards her.

"Te ves fimilar nos conocemos? " He asks as he looks at her as he thinks about it

"Oh... I'm Zabdiel's friend..Y/N!" She says as she turns towards him extending her hand

"Ah! Zabdie's British best friend...Ah ha...Nice to meet you Mi Amol.." Christopher says as he shakes her hand "I'm Chr- -"

"Christopher Velez...Yes I know you Chris..We have met before...Like once But it was rushed up..Your final performance? You're no stranger to me.." She says as she looks at him

"Ah..I remember now! Well glad to know that.. You're a pop artist right? I've heard a good amount of your songs and you are absolutely beautiful. I mean THEY sound abSoLuTeLY amazing! Not that I'm saying you aren't pretty Hermosa...But I- - " Chris begins

"Thank you..Means a lot from you.." she replies as she looks down trying to hide her light blush

"Well of course! So you listen to Latin Pop?"

"I actually do..."

"Well, so umm..do you listen to our music?" He asks nervously

"I love your music..I love your band! I consider myself a CncOwner!" She states proudly

"Is it - - Is it because Zabdiel is a part of the band?"

"Started off that way...But your music's too good NOT to be heard..."

"Thanks...Appreciate the support!" Christopher says as he smiles at her

"Of course!" She states as she returns the gesture.

"I wanted to apologize..About earlier." He apologizes looking down

"Oh Chris! It happens! It's absolutely fine!" She reassure him

"I swear it wasn't meant for you.."

"It was for Zabdiel...I know..Not like you were expecting me..And for the record..He did need a bath.."

"I know right! I was just being a supportive caring respectful friend.."

"But next time...Keep a little bit warmer water..that was ABSOLUTELY freezing!" She says as she giggles a bit

"Yeah sure...and..one more thing.." He says

"Yes?" She questions

"How did you understand what I was speaking in Spanish?" He asks her

"My mother's from Puerto Rico and my dad's British..So Spanish is like my mother tongue...I'm just a bit more comfortable with English in comparison to Spanish." She states

"Oh..That's why you seemed to understand..." Chris says as he nods understandingly

"Yes..." She replies

"It was nice talking to you Y/N.." He says as he smiles at her

"You too Christopher.." She remarks

' ' '

The chemistry between the two was spontaneous and exciting..almost inevitable..

She had loved how carefree he was, his smile and his overall personality.

But around her, Christopher Velez was another different person. Someone shy and reserved.

He would try to impress her by adding in a few more dramatic pushups and increased his speed on the treadmill whenever she came over and worked out with Zabdiel. He'd get her stuffs she'd casually mention in random conversations with him or the other boys.

He'd even write cliché poems and short one liner quotes inside a personal journal of his he started maintaining after they had formally became friends, but made sure no on ever found them.

' ' '

"Okay..I understand..sure..whenever you are free...Bye.." (Y/N) speaks as she hangs up the phone as she sighs and removes off her heels, as she lays frustrated on her couch.

She began lazily flopping around with her phone from app to app..She was disappointed...but not as disappointed as she expected to be...

She knew she didn't love him intensely..but she was willing to give a try. Her present boyfriend had some sort of feelings for her and vice versa so they dated. Well...at least that's one of the reasons she dated him...

The main reason she dated him was to get over her feelings for Christopher that were growing stronger day by day. She liked him..it was way too obvious. But he never showers any signs of interest in her..For she was one of his girl friend..nothing special.. Sure he had showered her with compliments and got her things she liked but he did that with every single girl friend of his...Or at least that's what she reckoned.

So she thought that her feelings for Christopher would disappear overnight as soon as she began dating her current boyfriend..but nothing worked..Soon eventually some sort of feelings grew and she felt a good amount of attachment and love towards him..

The first few weeks were great..she felt better with her boyfriend..but soon after he began cancelling out plans and barely managing time for her..

"(Y/N/N)?!? You're still here?" Asks a voice from her door

Her head darts towards the source and there she sees Christopher standing

"Chris?! What are you doing here?" She asks as she looks at him

"Well..Zabdie had left his jacket in here and I had left a few of my things in here... Aren't you supposed to be on a date today?" Chris asks although his tone is sour as he walks inside

"Andrew's caught up with a bit of work.." (Y/N) replies as she walks towards the kitchen where Chris begins raiding her fridge

"Of course he is.." Chris mumbles as he rolls his eyes

"What was that supposed to mean?" She asks, narrowing her eyes at Chris

"He always does this..He always stands you up almost every single time...Are you guys honestly dating?"

"Of course...We are..." (Y/N) trails off, her tone uncertain

"Well he absolutely isn't treating you the way you are supposed to..."

"Christopher Velèz..You have absolutely no rights to comment about my personal life.." She replies her tone stern

"I'm just stating facts! And I am your friend..I spoke what I felt!"

"Oh please Velèz..what do you know about being in a steady relationship?"

"I've been in more relationships..than you have ever been in. And besides, it's the third time this week he's postponed your plans (Y/N/N)..."

"I know Chris...I know I should do something but..I love him..and he said he was caught up with some work.. He said he'd make time later.. I understand that work is hectic for the both of us.." She explains

"He's hurt you numerous times..with his words and actions..And yet here you are getting hurt..and doing nothing about it..You deserve better (Y/N).." He says as he looks away

"How dare you? I absolutely love him! You've never been in love before! You don't even understand the feeling!" She snaps feeling slightly angry at him for saying that even though she knew he was partially right.

All he wanted to do was scream out that he did know how it feels..He knew the feeling of liking and pinning on someone who's boyfriend was nothing but a jerk who'd make her feel nothing but bad and terrible about her perfect self!

"He's not good enough for you!" Christopher yells back suppressing his thoughts

"What do you know? What do you mean? Why do you care?" She questions him angrily

Because he did care more than he could admit. He liked her more than he could ever admit.All he wanted to do was hug her and let her cry onto his shoulder until the pain fades away..whisper soothing words into her ears..and tell her how much he loves her,give her what she deserves and treat her the way she should have been treated...

But he couldn't...She was someone else's girl..he couldn't ruin their relationship for his petty jealous feelings..Despite how much of a jerk her boyfriend was...SHE loved HIM and not Christopher... So he couldn't change anything...

So he did what he could...he walked away.. because at the end of the day that was the only possible solution..

' ' '

"If you're going just going to sit and stare at him...He'll end up dating someone else.." Joel remarks as he slowly begins drinking a pint

"De acuerdo, Hermosa, creo que deberías hablar con él y dile como te sientes" Erick comments as he follows her gaze

"Nope..He doesn't feel the same.." She remarks as she removes her glare from all the girls surrounding Christopher as she quickly gulps down a glass of shot

"You won't know until you tell him Mamita.." Richard remarks as he empties a few glasses of shots

"I do know how he feels..and he certainly doesn't feel anything out of the ordinary for me..." She remarks as she gulps down a few more shots a bit too quickly

"Mi Amol..I think you should relax on your dosage..You would end up with those terrible headaches.." Zabdiel says as he snatches the pint from her hands.

"Yeah Shawty...This ain't really healthy. Could wreck ya down ya know?" Richard comments as he gulps down a few more shots

"Is that a challenge Yashel?" She asks as she looks at the Dominican.

"Mamita...I was just kidd - -" Richard begins

"Now you're siding off Camacho? I thought you were a pretty up-to- challenges sorta lad.."

"I am that typa lad...But nope...Not regarding things like these.."

"So...I'm gonna assume that you're just a wet blanket...Essh..I expected better from you Camacho.."

"Oh it is so on (Y/L/N) Get ready to lose Mamita.." Richard comments, a competitive look on his face, followed with groans from the boys

"Mi Amol...I think you - -"

"Oh we'll see who'll lose..." She replies as she smirks at him.

' ' '

Of course, she had won. (well..it ended in a tie.). But that night was one of the most drunk she had ever gotten..Her eyes were glossy as she stumbled around barely managing to stand still, Richard possessing minimal control over himself as he began ranting about something in Spanish whilst raw tears flooded his face..

"Richu...A- - Are you OooKaY?" She asks as she holds onto the wooden table.

"Just emotional...he'll be fine.." Joel reassures her as he replies to Richard's rant in Spanish.

Zabdiel held her arm as she leaned onto him for support, as her eyes darted around the place as if searching for someone.

"(Y/N/N)...who are you sea- -" He begins as she glares at something, Zabdiel's gaze follow hers

"(Y/N/N)...Are you..." Zabdiel trails off as she glares at the girl flirting with Chris.

"I don't- - I- - don't care!" She slurs as she shakes her head "Zab...Dance with me.." She comments as she grabs onto Zabdiel's arm

"No Mi Amol...I don't quite like the entire atmosphere..."

She knew he liked his quiet and peace a bit too much...So even in her drunk state she reluctantly agreed and walked towards the dance floor alone..avoiding unwanted older men and just having fun.

After a while she felt two arms wrapping around her waist. She immediately turned around and her gaze fixated on warm chocolate brown eyes.

"Mami no sabia que eras una borracha guapa.." speaks the voice

She could recognize that voice from anywhere..Chris...

"que tu quieres Velèz?" She asks as her eyes glare onto him

"Y por qué debo, Chris? Pensé que eras muy contento con tu novia?" She snaps, her tone jealous

"Novia? Mami ella no es mi??" Chris begins

"Solo ve Vèlez.." She remarks as she removes his arms around her waist

"Estoy preocupada por ti mamita.." He says

"Estas preocupada por mi? Por qué? Espérate, Zabdiel te pidió que vigilarme?" She asks annoyed

"No Hermosa...He di- -"

"Just leave Chris..." She insists as she removes her gaze from him

"But Ma- -" Chris begins but gets interrupted as someone comes up and stands Infront of Chris

"Papi..you said you'd be back in a minute..." A redhead speaks as she presses her body against Chris's as she pouts sadly at him

"Emily..I - -" Chris begins

"Yeah go ahead Chris...she's waiting!" Y/N says, her tone annoyed and jealous

The girl just gives Y/N a disgusted look as she grabs onto Chris' arm leading him towards somewhere else as she mildly grinded onto him as she swayed her hips..

Under any other circumstances..she would have left the scene...not wanting to cause any drama. But the alcohol in her system was too high.. she obviously wasn't in her right senses but somewhere deep down inside...probably in her subconscious mind she knew what she was going to do was probably the only last option she had..Now or NEVER!

She walked upto Chris...whose gaze was already fixated on her as she stood in between Chris and the girl whatever her name was.

"What do YOU think you're doing!?" The girl asks as she glared at Y/N

"None of your business b*txh!" Y/N snaps harshly, raising her middle finger at the girl as she glared back as she held a grip on Chris' arm dragging him away from the redhead..

She dragged him to a partially covered area from the rest of the club.

"Y/N are you--"

"I'm sorry but if I don't I'll die in regret.." She interrupts him

"What do - -" Chris begins as she cuts him off halfway leaning forward

Chris' breath hitched as his eyes widened in shock and surprise when she leaned in and pressed her lips against his, her eyes shut. After a few split seconds he gave in and kissed back...

She pulled away slowly yet reluctantly her face flustered as her eyes remained glossy.

"Chris...Oh god! I just -- I love you Chris! Why don't you understand?" Y/N says as she looks at him, her eyes gleaming with sadness

"It hurts me every time..EVERY.SINGLE.TIME! I keep wondering why.. just why couldn't it be me? Why someone else? What do they have that I don't? Why can't you like me the way I like you! Not as a friend..something more! I've always been attracted to you since forever yet all you do is look at those girls the way I want you to look at me! Why Chris? Just why?" She asks hopelessly as she harshly blinks away the tears that threatened to fall, her attempts unsuccessful

"Hermosa- -Please stop crying- -" Chris says as he wipes a tear from her cheek

"Sorry- -I'm sorry...Just forget any of this happened! I'm just acting..I'm not myself..Sorry..." She says as she tries to walk away, but Chris grabs her wrist pulling her towards him

"Chris what- -" She begins her words cut off as Chris crashed his lips onto hers.

The kiss was soft, quick yet passionate. She blushed, as she kissed back.. The feeling of his lips against hers felt so right. Like it was meant to be.

"I...I like you that way too Hermosa.." He says as he pulls away..his gaze elsewhere.

"Really Papi?" She asks innocently as her eyes gleamed with a new emotion

"Si..." Chris replies as he looks at her

"Let's get out of here and go somewhere comfortable and private.." She says as she grabs his arm as she drags him out.

As they both walked towards the exit, The boys saw the two and stared at them in surprise.

"Wait...She confessed??" Zabdiel asks surprised

"My ship is sailing!!! Yayyyy!!!" Erick comments as he smiles brightly

"I don't want to be an UNCLE yet!! Richard slurs as he continues to sob about something

"Erick....You promised me popcorn! Where's my popcorn?" Joel asks pouting sadly, obviously drunk.

' ' '

Christopher opens the door of their place allowing her in. She gives him a lopsided smile as she walked (more like stumbled inside). He helped her towards Zabdiel's room as that's where she always slept.

"Now sit here okay? I'll be back." Chris assures her as he walks towards his room, cleaning himself up and changing into something comfortable.

He walked back into Zabdiel's room to check on (Y/N)..She walked out of the bathroom, in a bathrobe hanged messily onto her body...

"Oh my! (Y/N)!! Ahhh!! I'm sorry!" Chris stutters as his face turns red as he shielded his eyes with his hands.

He had seen countless amount of girls fully exposed in front of him..Yet here he was blushing like a tomato seeing her half exposed chest.

(Y/N) wrapped the bathrobe around her tighter as she looks at him equally embarrassed.

"I thought- - I-- I mean- - You'd wan- -t a- -sh- -ir- t..." Chris stutters, his eyes still shut

"Thanks..." She replies as she grabs the shirt and the shorts he'd handed her

' ' '

Chris had made her bed for her, arranging everything she needed before she slept.

"Chris..." A voice speaks as Chris turns around

There she stood next to the bathroom door as she had messily changed into the clothes Chris had handed her. He walked over towards her as he helped her re adjust her clothes.

"Thanks..." She mumbles as she looks at him

Chris nodded as he helped her towards the bed..She stops him in between and he looks at her

"Hermosa..is there a problem?" He asks nervously

She speaks nothing but merely kisses him..He melts into the kiss and she interlocking her arms around his neck as soon as he bit her lower lip as she let out a soft whimper..He smoothly slid in his tongue as he savored every inch of her as her hands trailed into his hair, his arms wrapping around her waist.

They pulled away when air was a necessity..Christopher immediately feeling guilty..He knew she was too drunk to decipher what she was doing and was sure she didn't like him the way he did.She tugged onto his shirt as she slowly looked at Christopher..

"No! No absolutely not Hermosa.." He says as he slowly pushes her away from him

"Why? Don't you love me?" She asks as he sighs

"No hermosa, estas absolutamente borracha. No podía aprovecharme de ti." He replies as he looks at her

"I understand..But tomorrow we mustn't wake up thinking all of this was a huge joke..okay?" She says as pecks his lips one more time

"We'll..we'll see..Just take some rest for now..." He says as she lays down on the bed

She hums in response as Christopher wraps the blanket around her. As he stood up to leave, she holds his arm

"no me dejas, duerme conmigo.." She says as she looks at him lovingly

"no, no puedo..." He says as he looks away

"Please...Don't leave..Just one night." She says

"No..I.." He begins

"I usually cuddle onto something.." She blurts out interrupting him

"I'll.. I'll get you something to.."

"Oh Chris..Siempre soñé con dias que puedo tenerte a mi lado y dormir contigo. "

"Hermosa... I'm not.."

"Please?"

Chris sighed as he takes a spot next to her in the bed..(Y/N) scoots closer towards Chris as she wraps her arms around his clothed torso..

Christopher felt the entire scenario was wrong.. He's going to wake up into reality and the girl he liked would probably not even feel the same about her..

"Te amo Chris..." She murmurs as she softly closes her eyes, smiling softly

Christopher felt his heart swell up with an emotion he didn't know he was capable of possessing..

Oh how he wished how all of her words were true..He wished the kiss was true and honest..not just a drunk mistake..and despite how wrong it was to sleep next to her..he knew he'd never be capable of telling her how he felt face to face..So one night of all this wasn't going to hurt anyone..

' ' '

(Y/N) woke up, her hands wrapped onto something...rather someone. The feeling was absolutely beautiful..It wasn't Zabdiel for sure because she wouldn't be able to feel his chest completely considering how tall he was..she liked the warmth the person possessed..Her eyes opened slowly as her gaze fell upon on a perfect mess of brown shabby hair...

Her eyes widened as she say a full clothed sleeping Christopher Velez in front of her. She sat up quickly in surprise as she merely blinked at him.

"Oh my god!" (Y/N) shouts a bit too loud causing Christopher to wake up

He looks at her, his eyes widened as he sat up on the bed quickly away from her..

She spoke nothing but merely stood up from the bed and walked into the bathroom..allowing herself to fully freak out peacefully whilst the tap water ran loudly.

What was she doing sleeping with Christopher? What had happened last night? Did she do something stupid?

Probably Chris was extremely tired and found a empty spot next to her and laid down and slept. Nothing was awkward right? Big deal!

She came outside with a terrible headache...Of course..She had been terribly drunk last night..She groaned and sat on the bed in pain..

"Here...take these.." Chris says as he hands her over a glass of water and a tablet of Aspirin.

(Y/N) looked at Christopher as she shoots him a grateful smile as she takes the tablet and gulps it down with the glass of water, Christopher leaving the room.

' ' '

(Y/N) walked downstairs, heading off to the kitchen to grab some breakfast. Her headache had worn off quickly. She grabbed a bowl and tried to reach for the cereal box in the cabinet from above her, successfully being unsuccessful. Zabdiel walked over, opened the cabinet and took down the cereal box handing it over to her.

"I almost had it Z..." She says as her cheeks puff up in annoyance

"That's why you were jumping up and down for five minutes straight.."

"Zab...You could have let me try at least.."

"Mi Amol..Come on.. Let's eat already.." Zabdiel says as he grabs a carton of milk from the fridge

They sat down together and began eating as they begin talking about random stuffs.

Erick entered the room with a wide smile on his face..as he sent a knowing smirk to (Y/N). Joel followed suite, Christopher trailing behind him as they came and sat on their table.

(Y/N) raised an eyebrow at a now smirking Erick and a widely smiling Joel..Christopher had taken his breakfast and settled on the couch, to avoid conversations.

Richard walked in as he grabbed his breakfast and settled next to Christopher, after sending her a smirk.

Why was everyone smirking at her? Did something happen last night?

After breakfast, Zabdiel told her he wanted to talk to her. They both walked into Zabdiel's room as he locked the door..

"Why is everyone acting so strange Zab? Did something happen last night?" She asks genuinely confused

"I'm supposed to be asking you that mi Amol..." He replies

"I don't remember..Could you tell me how drunk was I last night?"

"Probably the most drunk I've seen you..." He states

"Why do I have a feeling that I've done something stupid?" Y/N asks to no one in particular

"You tell me mi Amol..." Zabdiel says as he stretches a bit

"I need time Zab...Give me a minute.."

Y/N tries to remember whatever had happened last night..and within a few minutes..Every single memory hits her like a wave...

"Oh my...I SOUNDED LIKE AN ABSOLUTE IDIOT!! I NEED TO APOLOGIZE TO CHRIS! HE THOUGHT I DIDN'T - - OH MY ZABDIEL! I MESSED UP!! I'M AN IDIOT! WHAT DO I DO?!?" She asks

"Go and talk to him (Y/N/N)...stop panicking and tell him how you really feel.."

"NO ABSOLUTELY NOT! I CAN'T! HE DOESN'T - - "

"Okay...Live in regret that you never told him how you felt because you were a scared chicken.." Zabdiel says interrupting her

"ZABDIEL DE JESUS! YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE MY BEST FRIEND? AND BEST FRIENDS HELP ONE ANOTHER AT THE HOUR OF NEED! I NEED YOUR ADVICE RIGHT NOW! I'M IN A CRISIS!" She yells in frustration

"I'm giving you advice and you are literally not accepting them...I am trying to help you but you are just panicking.." Zabdiel says as he rolls his eyes

"I MEANT PRACTICAL SOLUTIONS!" She yells back

"It did seem pretty practical last night huh (y/n/n)?" He asks

"OH MY GOD!! I'M GOING TO- -" She begins

"Stop panicking mi amol...Just tell him how you truly feel..things will eventually turn out good.." He says interrupting her

"But what if he doesn't like me...?"

"Trust me...you won't be disappointed.." Zabdiel reassures her

' ' '

"Christopher...Could I talk to you for a second?" Y/N asks as she enters the music room in their place, Christopher and Joel sitting and discussing something "I mean..that's if you're not too busy.." She adds on nervously as she looks at Joel and Christopher

Christopher looks at Joel as he nods quickly letting Christopher off..

The both of them walk towards the pool side of the lads' place. The both of them awkwardly stood there staring at the now interesting pool.

"You-- -you said you wanted to talk.." Chris says as he breaks the silence

"Yes...Look...I owe you a huge apology.. what I did yesterday night was absolutely stupid.. I'm sorry..I shouldn't have forced you into anything.." she says nervously, sighing softly

"It's okay Y/N...You were drunk..Hope things aren't going to change between us.." Chris says as he forces a small smile despite the fact that his heart was aching in pain as he turns around walking away

"Chris WAIT!" She says a bit too loud

"Huh? Everything fine?" He asks turning around

"I have..I have something..to tell you!" She says as she looks at him

"What?" He asks her

"This...This..Whatever I said yesterday...they weren't completely wrong..well at least most of it..I really do like you more than a friend..I always have..You were always my favorite member..not Erick. I've liked every single little thing about you and..I don't know.."

"If you did like me why did you date Andrew?"

"The reason I dated Andrew wasn't because I knew you wouldn't feel the same about me..And I had to get over my petty feelings...But Christopher listen..I absolutely understand if you don't feel the same about me! It's absolutely okay! I just had to tell you this...I hope we can still stay friends.." Y/N rambles as she tries to walk away.

"So I don't get to speak?" Chris asks her

"Christopher...I really don't want to hear you let me down..I spoke what I felt honestly.." She replies

"Who said I was going to let you down? Besides I like you that way too Hermosa.."

"It's fine Chris..You don't need to convince me..I can handle rejection you know? Don't force yourself to feel that way.."

"But I do... You're the only girl I honestly feel something for..All those things had special meanings attached to it when I did them to you..and last night I just wished..the kisses and everything you said about liking me were true.."

"So does that mean..." Y/N begins as Christopher shuts her up with a quick kiss.

"You're my girlfriend!" Chris winks at her as she rolls her eyes and kisses him...

~ ~ ~

She was overjoyed and was satisfied with her relationship with Chris.

His flirty self always caught her blushing..his cringy pickup lines..his overall charm all captivated her and she enjoyed her time with him..

But somewhere deep down inside she knew that Christopher wasn't a settle-on-a-girl sorta guy..He was more of a on-the-go sorta guy..So she was scared..Scared that she wasn't good enough to make him stay..So somewhere deep down inside she knew it wasn't practical to expect or rather wish for such a sort of relationship with Chris...

Chris had come home at midnight as he walked into her place..He was tipsy but yet somehow managed to control himself..

Y/N let him in angrily as she closed the door behind him.

"We need to talk Chris.." She begins

"Talk... I'll listen.." Chris says

"A conversation is two sided...I need your involvement in here too.."

"Okay...What's the matter?" He asks as he rolls his eyes

"Why do you have a lipstick stain on your cheek?!?" She asks, her eyes widening

"Some girl kissed me..."

"And you kissed her back?!"

"It was just a kiss...nothing more.. You're acting like I hooked up with someone or something..."

"Everything isn't a joke VELÈZ! Try to be a bit serious at times! You walk in at midnight, have a lipstick stain on your cheek and you ask me what's my problem?!? You practically glare of ANY guy that approaches me and get jealous in an unhealthy manner!"

"You're just being dramatic right now (Y/N)..." Chris remarks as he rolls his eyes "They're just random strangers.."

"So it's fine if you can go around kissing random strangers but you have a problem if I approach a guy.."

"There's a difference..in that... It's not like that!"

"Then tell me what's it like?!?"

"Stop acting like the annoying bXtch you are!"

"HOW DARE- - YOU know what... Let's end this right here right now!"

"Are you fXckin serious??"

"Yes! This isn't going anywhere!"

"What?!"

"This entire thing was a mistake...It was something petty! A petty fling! You aren't capable of loving someone apart from yourself Christopher! You are just so damn selfish!"

"Don't give me that tone!" He yells

"You know that it's true...You can't survive without your usual hookups and your one night stands now can you?" She taunts him

"No...I can't! Happy? Satisfied? You know what...I don't even like you..All of it was just a stupid joke..You are just an unwanted prick and a clingy little thing...I could never commit to you..I never felt anything romantic for you and the worst thing is that I felt something stronger to my previous hookups than I've ever felt for you.." Chris shouts as he glared at her

She paused for a second before she regained her posture

"Well since we both don't feel anything towards each other it would be better if we stopped this...thing between us..whatever you'd like to call it..." She says as she looks at him sternly

"Glad that you realized it this soon.." he says as he heads towards the door

"Glad we're in an agreement Velèz.." She says as she slams the door shut, her eyes gleaming with grief and pain.

~ ~ ~

Is it wrong that I still wonder where you are?

Is it wrong that I still don't know my heart.

Christopher didn't cry...no absolutely not..He was used to this..He was used to having girlfriends for a week.. a month..or maybe two. But after (Y/N) had left him...He felt lost in a way..He felt a sort of emptiness

He tried sleeping with other girls..trying to ease off this unexplained pain he was undergoing..but nothing could ease the pain...

He found his thoughts drifting off..all of them all over and over about her...

From simple baking to anything she liked..very little thing reminded him about her..

She obviously would have moved on.. Why wouldn't she? She's got the looks. Why does he care? The both of you had broken off..And like he said you meant nothing to him...

Everything around him seemed less brighter with her by his side..What was he even feeling? Was this normal? Normal to feel like this?

He was definitely not himself.The liveliness in him was still alive..but it was evidently missing something..at least that's what his heart told him..

~ ~ ~

Are you all dressed up but with no where to go?

Are your tears falling down when the lights are low?

Another Friday night tryna put on a show

Do you hate the weekend cause nobody's calling?

Christopher sat on his bed as he checked his phone for the 27th time at the same minute. He scrolled through their chats again and again..as if it provided him an odd source of relief.

He looked at it anxiously..as if somehow expecting her to miraculously text him when he was the one who messed the entire relationship up...

He put down the facade when he was alone...mostly when the guys were sound asleep or had gone out for any occasion...He'd cry as hard as he wanted..the pain returning and striking harder every time a tear slipped down his cheek...

The space and loneliness was evident..almost suffocating.

~ ~ ~

I've still got so much love hidden beneath this skin

So darling put a little love on me

Put a little love on me

He felt something..something weird for her...Something he hadn't felt with any girl he had met. Whatever he felt hadn't died...It was still there. He realized a sort of unpleasant, stinging pain every time he thought about letting her go.

He was hurt...More than he could admit..But somehow only more love and attachment filled his shattered heart..The love in his heart was never put outside...It was hidden. Even when he was with her, it was hidden.

He didn't want himself to get hurt..he knew he'd be taken advantage of.. that's why he never tried to love anyone romantically..He was scared..Scared that if he showed them how vulnerable he was... they'd use it against him.. That's why he stayed passive and inexpressive..He was scared she'd leave him for someone better.

~ ~ ~

When the lights come up and there's no shadows dancing

I look around as my heart is collapsing

You're the only one I need

So put a little love on me

Everyone around him was happy.. Everyone at the pubs, concerts, parks, restaurants and streets had their special someone...everyone apart from him..Instead of being angry.. he felt lonely..upset...

He could have been there..enjoying the same..if he wouldn't have let the only one girl he felt something for...not for his fame or how great he was at bed..but just because of what he was inside out.. Overlooking his flaws and loving him for who he was not what other people and the media said he was..

The heaviness in his heart increased, when he realized she was gone...He felt as if his heart was almost collapsing slowly shattering into small tiny yet irreparable pieces...

They pretended to move..at least he did.but deep down inside..somewhere he knew she was the only one he needed right now...

GG Strive Thoughts: Part 3

Welcome to the last part of my Guilty Gear Strive thoughts!^_^ I'll be focusing on the art-style and character designs, so there will be lots of pictures in this post. I hope you enjoy reading!

Art-Style & Graphics ---------------

Guilty Gear's visuals always had a detailed, Sci-Fi fantasy anime look with creativity of the 1990s and early 2000s. This mostly stayed the same until Xrd SIGN, which introduced 3D cel-shaded graphics in a new way. The art-style also changed a bit from previous games, although it has kept its creativity.

GG Xrd SIGN and the following games(Revelator and Revelator 2) look beautiful, but it took me a while to get used to the art-style because of those dreaded chins. The characters should've just used their chins to fight cause of how long and pointy they are; just go "SLLASSHHHH!" XD Certain features of characters were exaggerated like Sol's shoulders being a bit too wide for his body or how Baiken's hair is thicker and spikier. Some people say it's "too anime", but that isn't the right word for it. I would say "whimsical" is main trait from the art-style, which is fitting for how funny the interactions are in-game and lighter tone in story.

Guilty Gear Strive keeps the cel-shaded 3D graphics, but manages to expand it further. Instead of its presentation akin to an anime TV series, it's now akin to a high-budget anime movie with detail given to both the characters and the environments. It's less whimsical this time, giving the impression the story will be darker in tone. I'm really happy the art-style was changed to being closer to the older GG games like X2; no more ice-cream cone chins!XD The characters also got redesigned to match the essence of the new game. I'll be talking about eachone in order from least to most in terms of design changes. I'll also rate them in Guilty Gear style grade form. POTEMKIN ------------------- There seems to be mixed reactions when Potemkin got revealed for GG Strive. Some were happy he looked generally the same while others were a little disappointed and asked, "How come he didn't get a huge redesign like the other characters?!" The answer is he already did; this is how Potemkin originally looked like in the GG series.

This design relates to Potemkin's story in the beginning. The Zepp empire in the past was a very corrupted, technology advanced nation. It contained battle-slaves with strength enhancement steriods and bound them with a special limiter. Potemkin was one of these battle-slaves with his huge, red metal color being the limiter. If he ever took it off, it would explode. However, Zepp was changed when Gabriel became President and freed all the Zeppian slaves, including Potemkin. He now serves as Gabriel's bodyguard out of genuine loyalty, gratitude, and care for his mentor and the renewed Zepp.

Judging on his old design by itself, I think he looked average(based on what he's wearing). His features definitely fit the saying "don't judge a book by its cover" because Potemkin is actually a gentle giant who's very intelligent. But the way he looks(except when interacting with certain characters), it's like he wants to break someone's bones, lol.

In the concept artwork in Guilty Gear X Plus(Japanese exclusive game), it hinted of what Potemkin will eventually developed into look-wise and story-wise. Even the pose from this pic was used later in Xrd SIGN. I really wish the design of the boots was used instead those weird looking ones he's wearing now, XD.

Now to look at Potemkin's design in Xrd SIGN.

This is Potemkin's drastic redesign needed because of the changes in his life and his resolve being tested. I love this design so much because it accurately portrays Potemkin's personality. The first is his steel helmet with a spike at the top, accented with the Zepp symbol at the center of his forehead. His face is mostly shrouded in darkness except for the glowing lens. The yellow ponytail fur attached adds to the essence of a modern steel knight. Next is the black collar having spikes at the front; he also has on spiked shoulder plates to emphasis his strength. The power part is also in the round-shaped limiters attached to the upper parts of his uniform and glove compartment of his gauntlets. The design of his gauntlets is derived from the GGX Plus concept art, except the gloves completely cover his fingers and has a robotic aesthetic to it. I notice green is the most dominant color in Potemkin's design and there's a reason why besides it being Zepp's uniform.

Here is the Green Personality taken from Color Psychology (https://www.empower-yourself-with-color-psychology.com/personality-color-green.html):

You are a practical, down-to-earth person with a love of nature. You are stable and well balanced or are striving for balance - in seeking this balance, you can at times become unsettled and anxious. Having a personality color green means you are kind, generous and compassionate - good to have around during a crisis as you remain calm and take control of the situation until it is resolved.

You are caring and nurturing to others - however you must be careful not to neglect your own needs while giving to others. You are intelligent and love to learn - you are quick to understand new concepts. You are a good citizen and like to be involved in community groups. You have high moral standards and doing the right thing is important to you.

There is more, but I only taken pieces that describe Potemkin's personality, showing why green is his main color. Now onto his look in GG Strive starting with his helmet.

On the forehead of the helmet, the Zepp symbol is no longer a design mark, but an carved symbol with the words "Armor-clad faith" underneath. Instead of just darkness on his face, it accentuates the robotic aesthetic with the gears and the lens having an orange tint. Next is a full body screenshot of Potemkin.

The spiked shoulder plates is less noticeable and his uniform is more formal. There's now a maroon-red collar with white trim and yellow buttons. The spikes on the black collar part of his outfit is gone, there's thick pockets on the lower part of his suit and has a brown belt instead of black. His boots is also brown instead of black and the plates around his feet is orange instead of red. There's additional limiters on his upper back that is revealed when doing certain attacks, showing his power has grown more. His muscle mass has also gotten super HUGE to the point I wouldn't be surprised if he reached Sentinel(X-Men) size, XD.

Design Rating: S++(Fantastic!) SOL BADGUY ------------ ---------- Sol Badguy is the main protagonist, so there was never a worry or surprise of his GG Strive design. There's also the fact his design isn't really new; it's heavily derived from the artwork of Guilty Gear 2:Overture. But first is looking at Sol's most iconic design from the GG series.

I'll always love this design because I think it's stylish, cool, and timeless. He's handsome in the traditional tough-guy way and perfectly fits the anti-hero type. His metal red headband acts as a limiter for his Gear powers and has the words "Rock You" in the center of his forehead. Besides it symbolizing his love for Queen's "Sheer Heart Attack" music album and controlling his Gear powers, it also symbolizes how he keeps his inner thoughts to himself and close-mindedness. He wears a black undershirt layered with a sleeveless, chest-length red jacket with a buckle strap. This style is very unconventional, which is exactly Sol is; he doesn't follow typical conventions. His red and black gloves conveys his toughness while his belt with the "FREE" tells of his philosophy. This also hints complexity to his nature since the belt is from when he was in the Holy Order, an aspect of his past. This shows he's inwardly caring and values the people in life along with his experiences. Lastly, is his white pants accented with buckles and red shoes.

The GG2:Overture Short Stories goes into some detail of the events before the game like how he was entrusted to raise Sin(Ky & Dizzy's son), etc. The major difference with Sol's design from the short stories is he's wearing a sensible red jacket similar to his old one, but its design still has traits of being its own style. His black undershirt is slightly different with a small V-shape cut-out in the middle, longer sleeves, and slightly loose around his stomach instead of fitted. His gloves has more of a biker vibe to them and no aspect of red nor buckles within them. He still wears red shoes on his feet, though tweaked in its looks. While this did hinted of Sol's character development, it wasn't a large factor because alot of the huge events at the time and before were placed on him rather than him confronting it by himself. It's why for Xrd SIGN, he primary reverted to his iconic look, though his GG2:Overture Short Stories look did get tweaked and used within the game's Story Mode. Now for his GG Strive look.

His GG Strive design blends both his GG2:Overture Short Stories look and aspects of his iconic design, which I really like. The red jacket with black trim conveys his free-spirited persona, yet also comfortable and relaxed. There's also a little bit more white seen on the cuffs of his jacket, meaning his heart is more open. This relates to his character development of finally confronting his past, his feelings, and his relationships. But he's still Sol Badguy and there's much for him to find out and explore, especially since red and black is still his main colors. There is deep meaning to this too.

Red Personality(https://www.empower-yourself-with-color-psychology.com/personality-color-red.html):

You are action oriented and physically active - sex is a necessity to you - you have strong survival instincts. Lovers of red are the explorers and pioneers of the world, the entrepreneurs and builders who like to be first in discovering new physical realms. You are always in a hurry, wanting to do everything right now. Patience is not one of your strong points. Red people can be aggressive and easy to anger, often exhibiting a violent temper - this is negative passion and energy. You flare up instantaneously but calm down quite quickly once you get it out of your system and then forget it ever happened. You have a strong need for power and control which is connected to your basic survival instincts.

Black Personality(https://www.empower-yourself-with-color-psychology.com/personality-color-black.html):

You are independent, strong-willed and determined and like to be in control of yourself and situations. You may appear intimidating to even your closest colleagues and friends, with an authoritarian, demanding and dictatorial attitude. You hold things inside and are not good at sharing yourself with others, possibly out of fear. You may be retreating behind black during a difficult time in your life such as a serious illness or a period of grief - black protects, allowing for a deep inner healing without interference from others. I'll add traits of the color White since there's a noticeable amount on Sol.(https://www.empower-yourself-with-color-psychology.com/color-white.html): Positive traits of White: Simplicity, self-efficient, growth/new beginnings, open, equality, rescuer, and sense of completion. These traits describe Sol. Overall, I like the design and feel it suits him well. Design Rating: S+++(Perfect!) MAY ----------- So far, May is the only female character revealed for the initial roster of GG Strive. There's mixed reactions with May's redesign for the new game. Some are happy she finally looks like she's in her early to mid teens(like 14 or 16) instead like a little girl. But others aren't happy with the changes to her outfit, saying it's bland. Let's look at May's iconic design.

In my opinion, May is the coolest looking child character. Her open-sides style coat with side slits layered with a skin-tight bodysuit blends both cute and stylish. Adding to it is the tricon pirate hat, silver plating on her wrists and neckline, and orange short boots with black trim. Lastly, a black belt is around her waist while buckles accents her orange coat. This shows she's spunky, cheerful, and deceptively strong. In the story, her origins was unknown at the time, which perfectly fits due to there's black as part of color scheme(one of the meaning for black is mystery). Story-wise, May's development gradually grows from finding Johnny and later recruiting Dizzy as a member of the crew. Her curiosity of her heritage surfaces, causing some changes in her design.

In Xrd SIGN, Her skin-tight bodysuit is gone and replaced with just a black, fitted tank underneath her orange overalls. Her pants is loose-fitting along with having a big buckle around her waist and different boots still in orange with black trim. She doesn't have the silver plating collar, but other aspects of her iconic look like her pirate hat is kept. May finally finds out she's Japanese and dealing a mysterious condition that (currently) can't be cured. This is a huge story development for May that leads to be expanded further and another redesign. First is looking up the facial shot of May for Guilty Gear Strive.

May's facial features is the first noticeable difference. The art-style is a strong factor in this, but May looks physically older. She still has big, cute brown eyes, though not as large as in Xrd SIGN. This makes her face appear a little longer face to convey a hint of maturity. Yet, she still hasn't escaped being just cute in an innocent way. Another difference is her hair is slightly shorten to halfway to her back instead to her waist. It's also loose instead of a thick ponytail within her pirate hat, which I think it's a nice little change. Her hat is shaped more round instead of oversized tricon while still retaining the pirate skull at the front. The anchor design on the sides makes it both simple, yet stylish. Now to see the full body of May's new look!

.....Lol, May is wearing a dumb orange hoodie, XD. What's worse is the hoodie has no special designs pertaining to May's personality or style; it's overly casual. There's also no shape, making her look like a fat fish. The skin-tight black short-shorts doesn't help with how oversized the hoodie is, which if it weren't for certain angles, it gives the illusion she isn't wearing anything on her lower body. It looks like lounge wear meant to be worn around the house instead of clothing a person would wear going on an adventure. Speaking of adventure, she has a backpack.

The backpack itself is cute because it's Chimaki(mascot of GG) and do see the the letter J with a heart; meaning love for Johnny. But other than this, this backpack also doesn't really relate to May. Besides being the mascot for the series, Chimaki is specific to Sin because it's favorite toy. None of May's official art ever showed her having a Chimaki toy or accessory. The casual look gives me the impression she quit the Jellyfish Pirates, but her winning animation of her saying "Jellyfish victory!" and Leap(the elderly lady who cooks) being there disproves this theory. Besides the hat, the only things kept from her iconic look is her gloves and boots. There's a heart on one of her thighs; a fitting aspect for a pirate.

Now to look at the Orange personality since it's May's main color(https://www.empower-yourself-with-color-psychology.com/personality-color-orange.html):

With orange as your favorite color, you are warm, optimistic, extroverted and often flamboyant. You are friendly, good-natured and a generally agreeable person. You are assertive and determined rather than aggressive - having a personality color orange means you are more light-hearted and less intense than those who love red. You thrive on human social contact and social gatherings, bringing all types together.

You live your life based on your 'gut reactions'. You are an adventurer - you love the outdoor life, camping, climbing mountains and indulging in adventurous sports such as sky diving and hang gliding. You are the daredevil, always looking towards your next challenge, your next great adventure.

This definitely fits May's nature. My impression of her simpler look probably hints of May is unsure of herself and trying to figure something out. Her expression in her new character portrait has this too; it's the first one of her not smiling. But I still think this new look for May is bad(except for the hat, the boots, and the gloves). Her design should've been something like this picture link below.

https://imgur.com/Ue1XdhT The top would need to cover her stomach, but this design perfectly fits with May's nature and role as a Jellyfish Pirate. It also conveys she's adventurous and can easily implemented the backpack as part of the design. But it wasn't used... I'm nicknaming her May of the Jelly-Fat, lol. Worst design so far(and hopefully the only one). Design Rating:D(for Derailed) KY KISKE ----------------- Ky's radical redesign for GG Strive was such a huge shock to everyone. At first, people thought it was Sin(Ky's son) until examining him closely. It's funny how many people are saying "Ky's handsome now" and saying he has an athletic body when in reality, he always did, XD. It isn't the first time Ky got big changes to his look based on the events in his life, but I'm going to focus on Ky's iconic design.

Ky is the opposite of Sol; the traditional knight-in-shining-armor type hero. This is another design I'll call timeless and my personal favorite look for Ky. He's very handsome in a princely way, which is fitting since Ky is a French noble. He wears a white shoulder cape containing a high collar with blue trim. It's attached to the blue knight-tunic with black trim in the front, accented with a white, trench-coat like detail. There's twin belts attached to his blue and black gloves while one is on his matching boots. Layered underneath his uniform is his black and white, sleeveless turtle neck and fitted detached sleeves. The belt around his waist with "HOPE" conveys Ky's philosophy. This attire is the Holy Order uniform, which conveys how strongly Ky holds onto the teachings and experiences he had during those times. His story at the time was about fulfilling his duty and doing what he knows and believes is right. Blue and white has always been Ky's main colors, which tells alot about his personality.

Meaning of White Personality(https://www.empower-yourself-with-color-psychology.com/personality-color-white.html):

Having a personality color white means you are neat and immaculate in your appearance, in the presentation of your home and in your car, almost to the point of being fanatical. You are far-sighted, with a positive and optimistic nature. You are well-balanced, sensible, discreet and wise. You think carefully before acting - you are definitely not prone to impulsive behavior. You tend to have a great deal of self control. You may appear to be shy, but you do have strong beliefs about most things and love the opportunity to air those beliefs. The challenge for you is to be open-minded and flexible and to communicate your needs and desires. Meaning of Blue Personality(https://www.empower-yourself-with-color-psychology.com/personality-color-blue.html): You are conservative, reliable and trustworthy - you are quite trusting of others although you are very wary in the beginning until you are sure of the other person. At the same time, you also have a deep need to be trusted. You are not impulsive or spontaneous - you always think before you speak and act and do everything at your own pace in your own time. You take time to process and share your feelings. You are genuine and sincere, and you take your responsibilities seriously. Having a personality color blue means you have a deep need for peace and harmony in your everyday life - you don't like having your feathers ruffled. You would benefit from daily meditation and quiet time for reflection, introspection and self-discovery.

You appear to be confident and self-controlled, but may be hiding your vulnerable side. Being a personality color blue means you are generally fairly even-tempered, unless your emotions take over - then you can become either moody and over-emotional, or cool and indifferent. You are sensitive to the needs of others and caring with your close circle of friends. While you are friendly and sociable, you prefer the company of your own close group of friends.

You are a rescuer and love to be needed but one of your lessons is to learn to love yourself first - you live from your heart and are always busy putting the needs of others first. You can be rigid - you like to stick to what is familiar to you and it is hard to sway you from your path - you stubbornly do things your way even if there is a better way. You need to have direction & order in your living and work spaces - untidiness and unpredictability overwhelm you.

You are approachable and friendly, always making people feel welcome in your life. You have a thirst for knowledge in order to gain wisdom and appear knowledgeable in whatever area interests you. You are spiritual or religious with a high degree of devotion to family, God, or other causes that are important to you. If reacting negatively, you are prone to self-pity. These perfectly fit Ky's personality and has mostly stayed with him throughout his character development. Now to look at his GG Strive redesign beginning with the head.

One of the obvious difference is Ky's hair is short, reminiscent of his iconic look. But it raises the question of how since according to the story, it's stated his hair grows rapidly no matter how many times he tries to cut it(due to heavily implying he's part Gear). I'm guessing either Ky followed Sin's method of cutting his hair every 3 days or he found a special hair product to prevent rapid growth, XD. I notice the style of his hair is a bit different; the strands of his bangs is shorter and thicker. It creates a boyish look instead of a young man, which doesn't fit Ky. It doesn't seem noticeable during gameplay, but cutscene-like sequences it's the opposite. His hair should've been exactly like GGX2.

His facial structure and eyes in GG Strive is exactly like in GGX2 except for one part; his chin. While Ky's chin was never wide like most male characters, it usually isn't this narrow either. The narrower chin makes him look younger and with how the hair is styled, it gives the impression it's Ky from an earlier timeline. If his chin was similar to how it was in GG X2, it will improve his look alot and show he's mature and sophisticated. Next is examining the full body picture of his new look.

This is a huge departure in many ways. The only aspect inspired from his iconic design is the shoulder cape, but it lacks the blue trim around the helms and collar. Instead, there's black trim at the helms and hints of blue at the back with the words "Illyrium". His semi-fingerless gloves with fingernail plating is something he doesn't usually wear, but the back of his hands does have plating saying "Nothing can be done without hope". It shows he still generally has the same philosophy and key traits he's known for. The fact his "HOPE" belt is replaced with 2 standard belts(one black and the other brown) implies his mindset he carried from the Holy Order is gone and became open-minded. His open, V-neckline shirt with a single sleeve is inspired from this.

I do find it interesting how this reveals(pun intended) a different side of him, XD. It adds a sense of sensuality that leading men from romantic novels have and obviously it being sexy. Next is his fitted pants accented with blue crosses at the front then his boots with blue trim at the bottom. The most significant change is how Ky's dominant color is now black, which has important meaning to his character development.

Positive traits of Black: Include protection and comfort, strong, contained, formal, sophisticated, seductive, mysterious, endings & beginnings.

Negative traits of Black: Depressing and pessimistic, secretive and withholding, conservative and serious, power & control, sadness and negativity.

All of these fit Ky and since he's wearing alot of black instead of blue and white, this implies he has or going to have an internal struggle. I haved mixed feelings about his new design.

I love the concept of it and think it's nice to see Ky wear something different as his main attire. By itself the outfit is good and easy to adjust to, it's just not as unique as his original design. The design of blue crosses from his GG Accent Core Plus ending should've been implemented in the new design and add some gold trim to balance out all the black. I think his gloves should be changed to be more stylish along with the silver plating. If it had these tweaks, Ky's new design would be perfect.

Design Rating: A(Great!) CHIPP ZANUFF ------------------------ The reveal of Chipp's redesign has mostly been positive, but all of us immediately said "He is so BUFF!" People say he looks handsome now and have joked he worked out at the same gym as Chris Redfield, XD. Let's look at Chipp's previous design!

Chipp's iconic look definitely displays the street-punk style and rowdy persona. This perfectly fits with his dark past of being a former biochemical drug dealer and addict. He has wild spiky hair, small red earrings, and a leather choker around his neck. The fishnet undershirt is both punk-style and those who practice ninjitsu wears. He has fingerless gloves with silver, square-shaped plating. This aspect is also on his belt and short-length boots. There's two leather buckles strapped around the right leg of his white pants and has on a loose-fitting ninja vest with silver buttons. This highlights his newly adopted values he got from his mentor and father-like figure Master Tsuyoshi. Chipp even has on black eyeliner around his eyes to emphasizes the punk look. Since he primarily wears black and white with hints of red, this tells about his personality. Black and white together obviously means viewing things in a straightforward way instead of complex like gray. Red conveys of his hot-headed masculinity, passion, and impatient nature. Combined with the other colors, it shows Chipp's other side of having pure intentions, even though it doesn't always come across right.

In Xrd SIGN, only minor tweaks were made such as adding a red sash attached to his belt, extra detail on his pants and boots, and slightly thicker eyeliner. Ever since becoming president of a (currently) unofficial nation dubbed "Eastern Chipp Kingdom", Chipp's personality seemed to have mellowed some, though still has his impulsive tendencies. Chipp has been through alot of character development since the beginning. Now for his redesign for GG Strive starting with his face.

One of the things I notice about Chipp's face is while it's still narrow, it's a little fuller and smoother with slightly higher cheek bones. His chin is also about an inch or 2 wider than how it was in the Xrd series. His eyes still has the same defined shape, but the eyeliner isn't as thick. These tweaks to his facial features makes him look handsome and approachable instead of angry and rough. But his fiesty side is still there because besides his eye shape, his upper teeth now has some small fangs. Now to see a full body picture...

Chipp's hair also got tweaked; tt's still spiky, but more stylish instead of wild. Instead of strands of hair rest on his forehead, he has noticeable asymmetrical bangs. Besides his red earrings, Chipp's 2 main colors(black and white) is kept along with a little more red from the strings attached to his ninja gauntlets and strapped sandals. He still has the red sash attached to his belt, though this time he has a thick, rope belt(I think it's called "Obi"). His white pants is very loose-fitting and no longer has twin buckle straps, but does have a little more detail with the side silver buttons. On his upper body, Chipp has on a leather vest with a form-fitting, sleeveless turtleneck. The height of the collar covers his mouth and contains buckle straps. This look is inspired from his design in "The Butterfly and Her Gale".

It has aspects of the high collar, gauntlets, and boots, even though the boots was tweaked to be sandals. This redesign shows Chipp fully embraces Japanese culture and the ways of ninjitsu. I think it may also hint of him being or becoming a master himself and training others, especially with how he's gotten so muscular. The way they mixed old and new with Chipp's redesign is amazing and love the tweaks to his face and hair. I do think his pants maybe a bit too wide along with the rope-belt, but other than that his look is perfect.

Design Rating: S++(Awesome!) AXL LOW ------------------- "Axl got PANTS!" is the main reaction people had when he got revealed and the majority agree it's a much needed upgrade. This is the 3rd time Axl has gotten major design changes since GG:The Missing Link. His look from GGX and onwards greatly emphasizes he's heavily inspired from real-life singer Axl Rose. For Axl, I'm going look at his redesign for Xrd SIGN.

In comparison to the others, Axl's design was never high-fantasy or elaborate, but it makes sense he's from the 20th century. His look in Xrd mixes aspects from the 1st GG and GGX, which conveys his easy-going nature and trying to adapt to the future he's in while maintaining his values of the past. He still has his signature UK cap, brown fingerless gloves, and matching shoes. His white shirt has a unique black zipper tie that adds a hint of contemporary along with his blue jacket. Attached to his black belt on the hips is cloths of the UK flag and has on blue shorts. Red and blue has mostly been his main colors(with some white) that tells of his peaceful, friendly, and passionate nature. In the story, Axl is finally confronted about why he time-skips and must make a hard decision that forever change his life. The choice he made leads him to major character development along with what role he will play in the story, so he needed another redesign to reflect this.

This design shows Axl has embraced the current timeline while maintaining his love for his country. His fingerless gloves is a lighter brown along with his ankle-length boots. He wears a red plaid jacket with white sleeves and black with orange trim at the helms. Underneath is his a sleeveless, form-fitting tank with 3 zippers at the front and a brown buckle at the mid-section. On his lower body is a belt with a UK buckle and fitted, detailed black pants with zippers on the side. This look is inspired by the concept art.

I notice his new design as a mixture of colors compared to before, though it seems black is the most dominant color. One of the meanings for black is power and control, which fits with how Axl now has control over his Time powers. He also has an aura of confidence compared to his uncertainty in the past games. This is the perfect design for Axl because he looks amazing and conveys his personality well.

Design Rating: S+++(Perfect!)

Thank you for reading this! I'll make a series of this as more characters of the game are revealed in the future!^_^

i want to know what ur qualms are with their styling for blue flame 👀

first of all dear rae, thank u so much for ur patience i know this is kind of belated but im finally sitting down at my computer so we can dissect this in detail and this is going to be way longer than it has to be so here we goooooooooo

OVERVIEW

i’d like to say that most of astro looks great with their styling, in both the book and story versions. i really love the juxtaposition of both concepts, and i think the tones work really really well for the vibe they’re going for, which, as i’ve stated, is this mature vibe we’ve been seeing more and more of, with that magical astro charm that makes them so special. the warmth of the book version combined with the coolness of the story version is really really nice and i love the idea of it

BOOK VERSION

i think literally all of them except for eunwoo look fantastic. eunwoo….looks alright here but i am not a fan of this wet dog look that people have been calling a baby mullet. this is especially distressing given how much i love him but i just feel like….he’s not really hard to style and they could have done something simultaneously interesting and elegant like they did with the rest of the boys and they just didn’t. mj? STUNNING. jinjin looks so freaking handsome i love his look. binnie looks like an angel. rocky. god rocky has stolen this comeback he’s probably been my fave. sanha also looks like he’s suddenly grown into this handsome intellectual and i’m like but where’s baby?

again, 10/10 for the 5/6 members here. where’s the loml? first of all why is he holding the scarlet letter. fine let’s ignore that i don’t even care honestly. it’s the hair rae, it’s the hair that kills me. maybe they could have styled a mullet better on him, but it could also be a camera angle thing bc he looks really good here and honestly i really dig it but maybe it’s the model in him coming out MAYBE

wow i’m staring at this photo again and honestly it’s so simple and he looks so good but maybe it’s also bc u can’t really see the mullet i’m so annoying

ladies n gentlemen we are getting to the crème de la crème am i annoying you yet haha!!! again each and every boy looks unbelievably stunning which then begs the question, maryam why are you being so fucking annoying and rude and unfair about this comeback — well i’m not done yet!!!! and maybe i am MAYBE — but eunwoo first of all why put something on him that is NOT his size at all so it makes him look like a bag while attempting to make him look sexy (?????????????), why is he crouching lower and what is up with his HAIR i will not get over the hair i am upset about it

but the rest of them. my god look at rocky and mj???????? this is the superior look on him by far compared to the story version but we’ll talk about that in a SEC

they all look good and dandy here. i have no real qualms here. jinjin looks like he’s coming to SMASH my house and i’m about to let him. i love these boys.

STORY VERSION

they all look good here, overall, seem to match the themes with each other. i think jinjin/mj were superior in the book version as far as these photocard pics go. i have no idea why eunwoo is making that face it’s so annoying to me. he’s done sexy so many times and i just don’t think this is it not that he even has to be sexy he could have done anything really but i’m not a fan. it’s cool in the sense that he looks like a vampire i guess but it’s not a look that i personally gravitate towards (this is, and i cannot emphasize this enough) so subjective and obviously just how i feel about these things). rocky. my god. stunning. academy award. sanha has announced to the world that he has grown up and he is an adult damnit so treat him like one!!! i will not but nice try. bin’s face just makes me miss him even more :(

ok the top half of mj, i’m really digging. the hair is working (i wish his hair was longer for these pics, the whole universe knows that mullet mj is superior) but his pants make his torso look smaller and i hate the boots but maybe he’s coming back from gardening the now DEAD flowers from all light era idK. rocky (i’m sobbing now). eunwoo………….obviously the hair is better imo but the angle that this is taken…i’m not a fan. is the back cut meant to be sexy? idk i’m not feeling anything really?

and this here is the issue i have with what they’re trying to do with him, i think: they’re trying really hard to make him sexy, like they always do, but it doesn’t necessarily always suit him bc i don’t know if he necessarily wants to be sexy. like there are definitely moments that he does look that, like some of the kswiss shoots or even his magazine shoots where he really kills the game, but it doesn’t seem like…….it’s being forced on you really? idk for some reason, for ME, this comeback has kind of been shaping him into something that he might……not be. idk. i think with this pic tho they could have shot it at a better angle. i think for me it’s not only the stylists but also the photographer. maybe i’m not being fair, idk. i think the looks have grown on me more and more, but they didn’t make me necessarily happy or excited

all excellent except that i really hate what they did with mj’s outfit bc they just make him look a bit stockier which is annoying because he’s really willowy and dainty and elegant and they could have brought that out and they didn’t. eunwoo looks good here. i really like his outfit here. jinjin’s pants are too long…..i think a lot of it could have been fixed if they sized them appropriately? maybe i’m over analyzing. rae if you’re still reading this……..

i think this is the one photo where they all look good to me. i think mj’s pants here don’t stand out as much because they get cut off at the bottom and the picture is angled so his torso is accentuated more. i LOVE eunwoo’s oufit, and i really think it has to do with the fact that it’s fit to his body and they taper his waist which does wonders for him. i hate when they drown them with oversized clothes!! jinjin looks like he’s waiting for me to come home so he can discuss the report card that came in the mail and the call he got from my teacher when he was at work

CONCLUSION / TL;DR

i think from the m/v teaser they all look good and really cool, which is an indication that they don’t look necessarily the same as their photoshoot. i think…..also it’s nice to see their updates on twitter so we get to see the “real” them, and see how different that is from this very staged thing, which is, again, a very cool concept, but i think i’m gonna need a bit more convincing (and i know they’ll deliver) from their m/v + music show stages. i think my main problem was eunwoo’s hair/”sexiness” factor and the way they tried styling myungjun in the story version. maybe i’m being overly critical…..but since eunwoo is like….my ult, i feel like personally attached to this. but at the end of the day, it’s not that deep and i know my perception will probably change when the album/music video drops, and honestly……..they really can almost pull of anything. like maybe eunwoo CAN MAYBE pull off a mullet if his stylist actually did it justice. idk. but i’m not team cha mullet.

#soulclub #replies #astro #this took a good chunk of time but it was therapeutic honestly #me @ me: it's literally not that deep #but also me: YEA BUT IT IS TO ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My top 20 albums of the Decade

This decade has been really important in shaping my taste of music from generic and boring power and viking/folk metal stuff into something more refined and nuanced. So I decided to make a list with some of my favorite albums from the 2010s for you guys to check out!

First some general notes before we’re ready to get goin under the cut:

This list is purely based on my opinion and my opinion alone

There will be a big chunk of honorable mentions in alphabetical order at the end because there are simply too many albums important to me in this decade so check these mentions out aswell since they also include a more diverse cast of genres than the main list!

I decided to exclude Mgła completely from this list allthough Exercises in Futility (2015) might’ve earned a spot. I simply cannot support this band anymore in light of recent controversies regarding their close connections with far right musicians and neo nazis.

I’ll provide explanations aswell as links to a song for each of the listed albums to give a taste of what each entry is about. If you still have question about any of the entries just shoot me a message or comment!

🤡 Also a huge applause for Batushka for being the absolute clowns of the metal scene this decade! What a shitshow they’ve given us! 🤡

20. King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard - Paper Mâché Dream Balloon (2015)

Paper Mâché Dream Balloon is a very fun, very relaxing and all around enjoyable album by the psychedelic rock masterminds of King Gizzard. Give it a listen at a nice afternoon with a cup of hot cocoa or tea, you’ll not regret it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RobhSr2bozU

19. Portal - Vexovoid (2013)

Vexovoid is a chaotic mess of an experimental Death Metal record. Its dark, brooding and bizarre aswell as interesting, genuinly scary and amazing. Portal mix breathtakingly weird sounds with harsh vocals and complicated rhythmic structures. Certainly not for everyone but definetly for me.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7rj92VOWM5Y

18. Borknagar - Urd (2012)

Melodic, cathartic, progressive and melancholic.Urd is a well rounded progressive Black Metal masterpiece with some very unique riffs and melodies. I always come back to this record and always feel the same excitement when the first song Epochalypse starts. Broknagar tell their apocalyptic tale in dazzling beauty with crystal clear sound.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXVlBYW8Ero

17. Violet Cold - Anomie (2017)

Simply one of the best post black metal albums recorded so far in my opinion. Emotional and intense aswell as intricate and crafted with love.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNNPUBJVWp8

16. Enslaved - RIITIIR (2012)

A bit on the underrated side when it comes to Enslaved records but an absolute banger. RIITIIRs homogenous compositions string together into a masterfully crafted endproduct that takes the listener onto a journey of mind and soul. Quite possibly their most nuanced work to date.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WavEDnmBpgk

15. Sólstafir - Ótta (2014)

Anyone who has listened to Sólstafir ever should know about how amazing they are. How captavating and touching their songs are and how many tears one can shed over the sheer beauty of their melancholic music. Ótta is one of their most refined and clear cut record so far and it does wonders on the longer tracks.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8n8Uy5KmvU

14. Alcest - Shelter (2014)

Again one of these Albums to listen to when you can relax in a safe environment or when you need to turn any place you are at into a shelter. Healing for you soul and mind without being hard to get into for even non-metal fans. Enjoy this beautiful piece of soothing music whenever you feel lost or alone. It will help.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZ57uBx68N8

13. Der Weg Einer Freiheit - Finisterre (2017)

Dark, harsh and unapologetically black this album rises over its sometimes weak lyrics. Der Weg Einer Freiheit are a one of a kind band that can proudly hold the banner of German Black Metal high for a new generation. And this most current record of theirs shows what they can do with the tools provided by their label. Especially the re-recorded version of Neubeginn on the special edition is a highlight.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Ic-dXBtP10

12. Saor - Forgotten Paths (2019)

39 minutes that feel like 5. A breathtaking journey through the wilderness on the stomping steps of blastbeats and incredible folk influences. Saors best record by far.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9bMRTvmvQQ

11. Fen - Dustwalker (2013)

A very soft album dripping with athmosphere at every corner. Its a bit hard to get into but once it catches you it will just not let go.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QtBqlBr0cCQ

10. Messa - Bellfry (2016)

Groovy is the best word to describe this records vibes. A weird attribute to attach to a band that leans heavily into Doom but it fits. A fantastic album by a fantastic band.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HADlImQrG4w

09. Ulver - War of the Roses (2011)

Ulvers strinkingly unique sound easily make them one of my top 5 favorite bands of all time but I cannot explain why this album resonates with me so much. Its just very good!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8DPXMM6u94Q

08. Ghost - Opus Eponymous (2010)

The first record by swedish doom, heavy metal and occult rock group Ghost is to this day quite possibly their most atmospheric album. Gloom and doom mix with catchy tunes to form one hell of an enjoyable listening experience.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0PakoE1eBps

07. Downfall of Gaia - Suffocating in the Swarm of Cranes (2012)

Damn. What an album. What a band! Together with Der Weg Einer Freiheit one of the biggest new progenies of German Black Metal. Bold, black, harsh and full of melancholy. Simply superb!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KaAEJXU7JHY

06. Sólstafir - Svartir Sandar (2011)

A second time Sólstafir weasel their way onto this list and its rightfully deserved. This album is stunning in its complexity and passion. Each song brings something new and exciting to the table. Just listen to it, please, I beg you. Do yourself a favour!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1qh9XSqnTo

05. Alcest - Kodama (2016)

Alcest is selfcare. Kodama is selfcare. Perfection.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQsXnldCDeU

04. Ulver - Messe I.X-VI.X (2013)

A bit out there and hard to get into as its one of Ulvers most experiemental pieces of work so far. It was my first real taste of what would become on of my favorite bands real quick (at least my first taste of their newer stuff after I had only listened to some of their old black metal records).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtHEFDVSfvs

03. Der Weg einer Freiheit - Stellar (2015)

In my opinion just their most well rounded album. Its hard to pick real favorites since all of their records bring something amazing to the table. So I decided to choose the overall most coherent album as the highest on this list. It also contains some of my favourite songs like Repulsion and Einkehr.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_PYJYTicbE

02. Dornenreich - Freiheit (2014)

Freedom. Thats what this title means and this is what this album provides. This album cleansed my skin, healed my soul and replanted my crops. I shall live forever thanks to the power of this masterpiece of neofolk.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbz7zlVtwcc

01. Ulver - The Assassination of Julius Caesar (2017)

This is it. The best album of the decade in my opinion. Quite possibly one of the best albums of all time. A synth heavy piece of art that evokes ideas and the style of New Wave music and mixes it with the melancholic moodiness of post metal lyrics. Every song a hit, every song unique and every song simply great. Well rounded, coherent and still experimental when nescessary. Ulver dropped a bomb with this one!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XHE28JiuSQk

(my matchup info)) i'm bi, a londoner and i have loong dark brown hair, bright blue eyes and pale-ish kinda skin with light brown freckles on my cheeks and nose. i like playing sims 4, playing w my cats and binge watching Netflix. i love!! music and have a pretty good voice, my favourite artist is Lana Del Rey but i also like Lady Gaga, die antwoord, and 00s pop girl music e.g Britney Spears (don't shame me lolol). im quite smart but peaked a few years ago which is quite depressing lol. p1

pt. 2 speaking of I have depression and anxiety and take meds for both. im sarcastic, quiet, easily annoyed, funny and am a top tier shitposter. fr my feed is constantly full of memes. I’m almost always on some form of social media. im drawn to darker people and villainous characters despite being the opposite lmao. i put on a confident, independent front but inwardly im v insecure and easily manipulated if u can get past my front. i use humour/disinterest as a defence and hate looking weak. thank u!

Fandoms asked for (over two combined requests): Game of Thrones, Once Upon a Time, Yuri!!! On Ice, American Horror Story, Twilight, Death Note, The Vampire Diaries.

Death Note: Mello (Mihael Keehl)

Mello games and you play Sims 4 so sitting next to each other on your individual consoles would be how the two of you spend lazy days and quiet evenings together. You have a varied taste in music which is actually quite dark (Lana Del Ray) and inspiring/iconic (Lady Gaga) whereas Mello just likes heavy music which, when played at peak volume, thrums through your rib cage and echoes in your heartbeat. Between Mello’s explosive temper and your depression and anxiety, things can be tense. He snaps at you sometimes without thinking and you may retreat from him all together as a result. Show him your latest memes, though, and he’ll huff a reluctant laugh through his nose, breaking the ice. He’s not big on apologies even when he’s wrong but even so he’ll silently apologise in only one way: he’ll give (not just share) you one of his most expensive, preferred chocolate bars. Overall, he’d be one of your biggest comforts and vice versa. Just knowing that he’s watching the CCTV live of you walking down a dark or isolated street to make sure that you get home okay makes you feel a little warmer. Even when he’s pissed as hell at you or something else, he won’t let you go to bed feeling alone in a bad way. It’d be an explosive kinda love ;) [inappropriate death joke lmao not sorry]

American Horror Story (AHS): Violet Harmon

Violet would adore you. There would be some tensions because she’s quite abrasive (and rightly so, in some cases) but also because you both have depression, though you also have anxiety and you both put up fronts to hide yourselves. That’s likely how you bond - with Violet confessing to you one hot summer’s day that she “hates everything” and the whole situation with her parents. She can rant for hours when you leave her to it, just listening. Sometimes you share a part of yourself. You’re quite a talkative couple, but only in private. If there are people around, it’s obvious you’re together but there’s no set reason that they can see. Vivien and Ben have, generally, never seen their daughter so animated; you only bring good to Violet’s life. You’re both sarcastic and easily annoyed so any arguments are basically just really accurate roasting sessions until one of you hits a nerve (and then it stops because Violet just leaves to go somewhere - you never know where) or you’re both laughing. In this way, there are moments in your relationship that are hard to stomach. Watching mindless TV shows on Netflix and cuddling is a good way to break any ice that lays between you; Violet would make acerbic comments about something the lead has done and you’d listen, always able to tell if something more is under the surface. The similarities between the two of you creates your relationship; you see yourselves in each other and only want to help as best as you can.

The Vampire Diaries (TVD): Damon Salvatore

Damon would be very protective of you. You don’t like appearing weak but even when you’re down and sobbing on your knees, your body unable to hold you up anymore, Damon’s never thought you looked stronger. It takes strength to show weakness, even when you’re alone. If you ever forgot to take your meds, Damon would stand over you in with a glass of water in one hand and your meds in the other, that passive-aggressive look on his face. He’d watch you take them, arms folded, and then he’d give you a steamy kiss that leaves your toes curling for the rest of the day. Damon pretends to have no feelings because it’s easier and you put up a front. However, because Damon can’t shut off his humanity without forgetting his love for you, so he has to face his humanity which means he begins to feel guilt and everything that’s already there if he wants to feel it, which he doesn’t but… He does eventually. Because of you. You are the good in his life.You have similar defence mechanisms so it’s not unusual for one of you to walk into a room, see the other and immediately say “stop doing that” or “don’t do that” - no one else can tell that Damon is pretending, except you and Stefan. Similarly, it’ll be the brothers who can tell that you’re pretending. The contrast of your long dark hair and your bright blue eyes would be what drew Damon to you and I feel like he’d call you his “little siren” because of that. As such, he comes to understand that it wasn’t Katherine he’s been looking for all this time…

… It was you.

Twilight: Edward Cullen

You caught Edward’s attention by singing one day. He was just passing by, skipping Biology (blood work) and he heard you singing. He hadn’t meant to tune in to your radio station but sometimes he couldn’t help it. And you did have a lovely voice. He would likely buy some of the same albums that you own so that he could get to know you through music. Over time, he would learn to just intuitively tune in to your radio station and he’d hear your thoughts - this is a promise he would make to himself to not do once you’re friends and then dating and he’d definitely stick to it. He’s conveniently free on sunny days so you’d spend those days watching Netflix with a blanket around your body to protect you from his ice cold one (it’d be really hard to explain away catching a cold during a heatwave) and he’d press kisses into your hair, your kitty purring away just above your shoulders. Though Edward would do his best to not listen to your thoughts, on your worst days some of them drift through his mind and he’d take your hand tightly and say “Don’t” or “That’s not true.” He’d try so hard to help you; I think, pre-Bella, he also has depression so he’d do his best to help you because he knows what it’s like, and not just because he can hear you.

Yuri!!! On Ice: Victor Nikiforov

Victor would have such a loving relationship with you. Ohh, he’d try so hard to make you smile each and every day. When he’s not on the ice competing or eating way more food than he should be able to consume in one sitting (seriously, where does it go? Does his stomach start in his toes?), he’s curled up with you on the sofa watching something you want to watch on Netflix, Hulu or whatever else you use. He doesn’t mind what you watch, so long as you do it together. You love to shitpost and you love memes, and Victor loves taking pictures of the most obscure things so between the two of you, your followers are well fed! You’re always texting each other memes, jokes and sending pictures to each other with cryptic captions or song lyrics attached, making the other person burst out laughing in strange places like the ice rink or a classroom. You have more of a jokey relationship than a serious one, though that’s in abundance when either of you have depression or anxiety flare up. In any case, bed time is always met with gentle touches, soft smiles and careful reassurances. Even, and most especially, when you’re angry at each other. Love is never so important as it is during the bad times.

Once Upon A Time (OUAT): Regina Mills

It would be really touch and go to date Regina for a while. It would be very challenging and many people, including her and in your darkest times, yourself, would tell you that she’s not worth it. That you’re not worth it. But you’re all wrong. She is so, so worth it. Once she splits from the Evil Queen, once she grows into herself and grows into the Charming family, once she overcomes her abusive childhood and comes to love herself, she is a ray of sunshine and she glows. I’ve always loved and been so proud of Regina, and you would be too. You both put on fronts to protect yourself and you’re both very convincing so a lot of the time, the two of you have to mentally step back and see what the other is really thinking. Luckily, you know each other very well so it’s not hard to see when either of you are feeling especially insecure or unwell. Regina would literally rip her heart in half if it meant saving you, and at times she’s risked her life for you. She lives for your cuddles, especially when her many duties as a mum, a mayor etc. get on top of her and she just needs a break. You bring her back to herself time and again, and she will always do her utmost to return the favour to you. You have a strong, loving relationship underneath it all. It just takes patience and a special bond to be able to see it from the outside.

Game Of Thrones (GOT): Joffrey Baratheon

Joffrey is the most villainous person on this matchup. I was very hesitant to match you with him, I really was, but some of the others on this list are almost as bad. So. I think your personality would have a more positive effect on him. Cersei got her claws as far into him as she could, but even once she tried to reason with him and keep him reined in, he was too far gone for her to be able to help. But you... Mm. I think you’d have a similar impact on him to Margaery. You put on a front to protect yourself and this would be what Joffrey would listen to... to begin with. Once you’re properly courting and Joffrey is able to see what you don’t say; he would soften. He would still kill and be an utterly evil piece of work, but he would exercise more mercy. He would still wrongfully torment Tyrion, but he would draw a line when you start anxiously tugging on his sleeve. He doesn’t cuddle, mocking the action all together, but then one day he walks in on you curled up in bed reading a book and he just can’t resist curling around you, an arm slung over your shoulders to possessively keep you beside him. It would be a tumultuous, dangerous relationship but then... it’s Westeros, what do you expect?

There!!!! I hope you enjoyed!

❛ welcome to new york , malcolm hansen . your resemblance to herman tommeraas is absolutely uncanny . by the looks of your tesla roadster , we’re thinking you’ll fit right in . according to tmz , you just had your twenty second birthday bash . your chances of making it in the city are dicey since you’re unscrupulous , but being captivating gives you an advantage . ( cismale & he/him )

SO let me introduce u to malcolm richard hansen iii , but if u call him anything other than mac , he prob will throw hands . he comes from olllllld money , nobody rly knows how the family got rich initially but his grandpa ( the og malcolm ) made even more money by creating a very successful record label thats now rly dominant in the music industry . his grandpa is currently 79 yrs old n just recently stepped out as the ceo but is still has a lot of influence in the company and obviously in the family . this might sound irrelevant but it will be important later on i promise .

ok so mac was born to mac jr and a former singer named tara michaels . they met when she was in the record label building , for a meeting in regards to a possible contract and the rest was history ? grandpa hated tara and made no secret of his opinions abt her . basically he thought she was a golddigger ( she was ) and his son was stupid ( also true ) , and even refused to attend their wedding ceremony . needless to say , as soon as they got married , the couple left sunny california n settled down in chicago .

mac was his first male grandchild tho , n even if he hated his mother n resented his dads stupidity , mac was kinda like his golden child . so senior kinda stole his grandson ? not rly but he did keep him in la every summer n holidays , when he wasnt in school in chicago .

so mac rly looked up to his grandpa growing up even if he also thought he was an asshole ? they werent super close but had a lot of respect for each other , n mac much preferred spending his time with og mac than with mac jr n his ma ( oh boy this is bound to get confusing ) . but yea , his grandpa was a huge influence on him while growing up , which was mayhaps not a good idea .

once he graduated high school , his grandpa told him that he wanted him to run the company in his dads place bc he wasnt leaving a multibillion dollar company for that doofus , but sneaky old mac told him that there were terms to this development . mac would get the company once he retired , but since his father had been such a dumb fuck , he would only get the company n his money , if he married a woman approved by the senior before he kicked the bucket . mac threw an absolute fit , but eventually came to the conclusion that he’d rather marry someone for convenience than be poor for the rest of his life . which tbh so would i .

ENTER ARRANGED FIANCÉE . they’ve been engaged for about two yrs now but no one is in any rush for the actual marriage . the deal was that they only had to do it before senior died , n since he’s in pretty much perfect help , the duo is just biding their time . mac moved to nyc to live w/ the fiancée , but as of now , they r pretty much just roommates atm . so yeah basically thats how mac ended up in this moment in his life lmao .

in regards to his personality , mac is pretty much a mini version of malcolm senior . he’s v confident ( cocky ) n has a LOT of trouble trying to view life by any other point of view than his own . very selfish and honestly not a guy u can put ur trust in ? he’s not like a super asshole or anything , is in fact rly charming n can be a great person to hang out w/ but if you’re his best friend n he feels like he can get away w/ hooking up w your mom ? 12/10 will do it .

is mad into parties ? always hanging out in the hottest spots w all different kinds of ppl until the sun is comin up . he has weird views when it comes to dating which is lowkey for is kinda an asshole who gives no fucks n usually ends up being hated by his exes .

but he’s also a super fun guy to be around !! will always be down for a good time n do his best to cheer u everyone around him . u r always going to be entertained around him there isnt even a choice .

he works on/off for the record label , mostly monitoring bigger artists n such because we love nepotism around here friends , but he also does music every once in a while ? its not frequent , n he mostly writes songs for other artists , but he has previously released an album n scored a couple of #1s . i pretty much think of his vc n style as bazzi’s , but he’s definitely not super active as a singer .

so far this is pretty much it for mac . i’m still working on him a little , but this is an alright outline of his for now . i’m gonna list some possible connections but those are gonna be pretty basic . feel free to hmu in my ims or on discord ( mella is lost #1597 ) where i am p much all the time so we can come up w some bomb ideas ?

someone whos signed to the label n they connected through it ? could be all kinds of stuff actually .

best friends bc even demons need those every once in a while .

exes , all kinds of them but mostly bad terms bc mac is the worst .

pretty much all the fwbs no strings attached things specially if they come w/ angst .

hype friends who r always there to have a good time w each other .

first love type of thing ?

skinny love that will never work ?

i cant think of anything else ? pls dont give up on me tho n like this thing or hmu for plots bye !!!

#wealthyhq:intro #uhhh this was a lot #im sorry friends

CRACK I - III (The Lost Juke-Footwork Compilations) [Remastered, Re-issue (2019)]

Hello,

A little over 5 years later, I (SELA.) am here again to bring you a revised / updated version of the 3 CRACK compilations that were released on tumblr during the fall of 2013 / 14’. These files are remastered, and some additional information / tags have been added.

What is the reason for this release?

Well, in short: for archival purposes. All music from MySpace as of last year is now “no longer available and cannot be retrieved.” (There is an issue with all songs/videos uploaded over 3 years ago.)

Please read the following and also see the links included to truly understand what I’m saying.

https://help.myspace.com/hc/en-us/articles/202233310-Where-Is-All-My-Old-Stuff-

The point of these compilations (as originally stated) was “to receive a non-jaded representation of what juke / footwork sounds like (or, better yet, sounded like during this time) (not the trap / UK-influenced sound).” This is still my intent. I still think this specific period of this kind of music is just… something else. Entirely. High level ghetto electronic insanity completely out of the left-field with the arrangements, the sample flips / interpretations, the play on BPM, the BASS… All still basically unmatched by any other music and it’s been about 10 years now. I still truly feel that this music (not just these compilations specifically) and the artists that created it are something that needs to be appreciated. There is a very special / instinctive / unique energy that forms on the dance floor when this music is DJ’d properly.

But, this is just my opinion.

https://www.reddit.com/r/techsupport/comments/7uiv8b/myspace_player_wont_play_songs_and_i_want_to/

Again, this all took a lot of time, and I really hope you enjoy it. You can also click here to learn more about what went into putting these together.

download:

I: https://www40.zippyshare.com/v/aC5YIhWw/file.html

II: https://www40.zippyshare.com/v/uMaIuJHU/file.html

III: https://www40.zippyshare.com/v/KhW4TbvG/file.html

Also, an additional note (to address these things once and for all): The few inaccuracies with the original 2013 compilation (mistitled tracks, etc.) were simply due to me using the information that was available at the time (the titles / information that were on the tracks when I found them). I was 19 when I put these together and it was released exclusively as a post on tumblr with a zippyshare link. Attempts were made to reach out to an amount of the artists included in these compilations during that time but many profiles and emails were inactive / non-existent (I also didn’t know that a good amount of people were connected solely in exclusive Facebook groups until later on). These compilations have never, at any point been used for any kind of monetary gain (or otherwise). These accusations started because a Bandcamp page was created for the third compilation (CRACK III) so people could stream the album before downloading as people had complained about the file size and not being able to preview songs with the previous two. This page was always streaming only, and had purchasing / downloading completely disabled from the very beginning and you can literally see that here.

(https://web.archive.org/web/20141230020522/https:/selaone.bandcamp.com/album/crack-iii)

… and I think that’s it!

There was going to possibly be a CRACK IV, and I do have an amount of songs for it, but I was never able to do the final part of my searching about 2 years ago because of the problem with the content on Myspace not loading. Maybe one day…

____

[Please search the artists and songs included in these files to support via Bandcamp or other streaming platforms. A decent amount when on to either start dropping or re-releasing some track and projects again. Also see the attached image of the ‘Footwork Family Tree’ for general insight about those currently involved. ❤︎ to all]

soulmate!junhui

it’s been forever i know i’m terrible at this,,,,,,,,and i completely got carried away with this it’s like 3k of messiness i’m sorry (ಥ﹏ಥ)

soulmate!junhui where you have a little bit of each other’s personalities floating around inside you + you can feel the other’s emotions

you’re normally the discreet mom friend

so like you pack extra snacks that are “for you” but it’s actually for that one friend who ALWAYS FORGETS THEIR LUNCH

you’re also lowkey like “ew” when they start play flirting with each other and you

but then sometimes you make a sort of 180 and start flirting back and they’re like !?!?!?!?!?!/?

and then 10 seconds later you’re back to normal like what,,,,,,,,was that,,,,,,,,,,,,,

and it’s just so confusing to both you and your friends because they never know what to expect

eventually they get used to it though

the newer friends you make never know which personality is yours and which is your soulmates

but your older friends are always like LOL when you start flirting with them

once during class you sent one of your newer friends a heart when they turned back to ask you for a pencil and they almost fell out of their chair when you winked after

your friends have started to call you out on your “fanservice” as they call it

joking that your soulmate must be an idol

honestly though you just want to meet your soulmate and stop randomly flirting with your friends (and even the cashier that one time you went to get a midnight snack) ((you stopped going by that store at those times))

and even more

your soulmate always seems so,,,,,,,,,,,,,unnaturally happy

you’ll wake up at 3am tired and you’re all ready to go back to sleep but?????????you suddenly get a huge burst of energy and it’s like wow i’ve never been more awake time to go dance

your best friend once found you in one of the dance studios at 2am and they were like WHAT are you doing you have a test in like seven hours

sometimes you’ll feel a little bit bad for your soulmate because you feel like you’re always being negative

but at the same time you can’t help it if your professor gave you three chapters to read for the next day plus a test to study for and a presentation in a different class

junhui doesn’t mind though

he notices that you have those reALLY bad days and he tries extra hard to be super happy and excited because he knows that could pass on to you

although he wishes you could be a bit less,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,”egh” about fanservice because it’s his JOB and he would like to KEEP IT thank you very much

they’ve had to redo a few of their practice videos and edit some of out a few parts from them because he suddenly seemed to hate fanservice

seungcheol joked about him never being able to meet his soulmate because they apparently hate fanservice (so the chances of them going to a fanmeet were minuscule) and junhui’s heart SHATTERed

and it’s frustrating for both of you because you really want to meet each other but,,,,,,,you can’t communicate

sometimes you’ll be able to feel the other’s emotions but other than that you’re both in the dark

one time you tried to send junhui an emotion that was a mix between longing and frustration to see if he could respond to it

but all he got from that was you being sad

and in turn all you got back was him being heartbroken because he thought you were sad and you were like askdjghljkSDGHAKDG NO W AIT i’ve made a huge mistake

it was a mess of emotions for a few minutes until you decided to go against your values and send him love

and he was like KSJAGSKLDGksjhagsd my sOULmate!!!!!!!! just sent me love!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you couldn’t sleep for the next two hours because junhui would NOT stop gushing about it to his friends and you could FEEL HIS EXCITEMENT AND HAPPINESS and maybe you should send him some more love if this is what the result was

ANYWAYS

believe it or not you’re actually a pretty big fan of seventeen

your friends ship you with junhui (oh wow look at that coincidence) because you’re both like the mom friend,,,,,,,and because they think that all the fanservice will be so cute if it’s directed to you

but your bias actually isn’t junhui lmao,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

it’s woozi

(and no it’s not JUST because of that one time he almost killed mingyu with a guitar,,,,,,,,,although that did play a pretty big role)

when your friends and you went to buy the new album and you got seokmin and they got woozi you were like!!!!!!!!!your favorite is seokmin right let’s trade

you love all 13 members equally (honestly who DOESN’T) but woozi holds a special place in your heart

but recently,,,,,,,,you’ve started to notice junhui a little bit more

like there’s SOMETHING about him that catches your attention

maybe,,,,,just maybe it was that one time when you were watching a v live and when soonyoung decided to try and do aegyo and you cringed,,,,,,,,,and you swear you saw junhui cringe too but it went by too fast to really notice anything

but then again most of the other 12 cringed too so you might’ve just been seeing things

and of course one day your friend goes like !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!they’re having a fanmeet we should go!!!!!!!!!!!!

(i actually have no idea how fanmeets go i am sorry,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,)

on the day of though you’re super excited because a chance to meet woozi face to face???? yes

and oh wow how funny is it that junhui and woozi happened to be seated right next to each other,,,,,,,with junhui at the end (((((((((:

your friend is in front of you so you get to see their super excited face when they meet their bias and they’re like,,,,,,,,,,,aksdhgalsjdghiJSDGHASKDG and you’re just like lol what a dork

so you meet each of them and ask them how they’re doing and stuff

(and you manage to hold a decent conversation in english with joshua and vernon!!! how exciting!!!!!)

you get to jihoon and you’re like aksghaskldgdskLHGA why is he so pretty

your friend would have made fun of you right then and there if they wasn’t in the middle of a conversation with junhui

when you get to junhui though you’re still super hyped from meeting your bias

and then suddenly it’s like????????????you have a rush of emotion

and junhui obviously is going through the same experience since he’s your soulmate

but he composes himself and smiles and goes like hi!!!!!!!!!!!! and you’re like w h y is my heart suddenly beating so fast

and like clearly there’s a connection between you two but you’re both still very clueless about being each other’s soulmates

until after the fanmeet and you look in your album and wHO WROTE THEIR NUMBER IN IT

it’s not even like under a specific message from any of the members

it’s frickin right smack on the inside of the back cover

you send it a text like “who are you?”

which results in a slightly paniCKy “who are you????????????” back

and it’s in english so you’re like ??????????? what

and you’re typing back like “did you not write this number in my album what”

you don’t get a reply back until like ten minutes later (and this time it’s in korean)

“i’m junhui. from seventeen”

and at first you’re like LOL nice try buddy

and then they send you a photo and it’s actually junhui with joshua in the background

they attach a message with the photo that says “joshua had my phone just now so that’s why the first message was in english”

but you’re still like no? literally you can find a photo like that anywhere????

and the person sends you a message back that’s like pLS BELIEVE ME

but you’re just like d u d e no

and obviously because it actually is wen junhui and you just DON’T BELIEVE HIM

he has to facetime you

and you’re like aksdjhgkljHDSGASKLGD but okay if you’re that desperate to be proven wrong

but then you see the screen and it’s?????????wen junhui??????????in the flesh??? (not really but like it actually is him)

you fall off your couch because oh m y GOD that was actually wen junhui w H AT

and junhui kind of lets out this horrified scream because all he saw was you disappearing from the screen and then the phone shaking until it landed on the ground,,,,,,,,,and now all he sees is the ceiling of your apartment

and of course joshua’s in the room too so he’s like ?!??!?!??!!?are you ok a y

you finally pick up the phone and you’re like w h a t is this am i dreaming

and joshua sees you too so he’s like oh!!! that’s the person with the super cute bag this afternoon at the fanmeet!!!!!

and junhui’s like yes that is indeed the person,,,,,,,,aka my soulmate

and both you and joshua are like,,,,,,,,,what,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,did he just say,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,?!!?!??!?!?!?!??!?!??

joshua reacts first though and he’s like !!!!!!! i gotta tell the others this is such a great thing yay!!!!!!!! and basically being the angel he is while congratulating junhui and then leaving

and you’re still sitting on the floor like b o y you better not be trying to prank me because i swe a r

but junhui’s just smiling that super cute smile and then he goes “don’t you notice that you don’t feel any more of your soulmate’s emotions??? and honestly i kept giving fans fanservice for like 20 minutes after we met and i never felt the need to cringe”

and you’re like now that you say that,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,you may be right,,,,,,,,,

and of COURSE he’s junhui

so he adds on a little something

“also because i totally felt my heart speeding up when i saw you”

and you’re cringing like OK LET’S STOP THERE but also same

unfortunately he’s an idol so he has stuff to do so he’s like i’ll text you!!!!!!!!!!! we have a break in a few days so we can go on a date then!!!!! and you’re like kasldhjglkGHALSKGD O K THEN

he hangs up right as your friend comes in (and as the rest of seventeen barges into the room)

and you don’t wanna tell your friend anything yet so you make up a dumb excuse about why you were sitting on the ground and they shrug it off like ok

but junhui can’t get away that easily lmao

the members are like !!!!!!!!!!!!!joshua told us that your soulmate is that fan with the really cute bag from the afternoon

and he’s just like yes that is my soulmate :)))))))))))))))))))))))))))

the excitement kind of dies down after like a week of not hearing from him

and you’re starting to believe it was a dream because????????what kind of luck would you have to have to get wen junhui as your soulmate

and then two days later at like 3am your phone starts ringing

and your roommate is like turn that OFF PLEASE i have a lecture in four hours

you decide to leave the room to answer it

and guess who

(((((((((((((:

it’s junhui

and you’re like junHUI WHY would you facetime me i look disgusting

but he’s just like noOoOOooo you look cute especially that little line of drool on the right side of your mouth

and you’re just like IM HANGING UP and he’s like WAIT NO

you notice that he’s outside and you’re like ??????what are you doing outside at 3 in the morning aren’t you gonna get in trouble

and he’s just like LOL i was gonna go pick you up but i totally forgot to ask where you live,,,,,,,,,,so can you please come meet me i’m at the park by the mall

and you’re like??????????????wen junhui that is literally 30 minutes from my apartment

and he looks so heartbroken because he totally did not think about what might happen if you did live far

and you’re just like BUT you know what i don’t have classes tomorrow lemme go get my hoodie real quick

and he’s like noooo!!!!! tell me where you live i’ll go pick you up it’s too dangerous for you to walk alone

and you’re just like junhui p l e a s e you’ll get lost it’s fine i have my keys

he’s still frowning because he,,,,,,,,,,,,really doesn’t want you to be walking such a long distance so late but you’re just like it’s okay!!!!!!!! if it makes you feel better i’ll stay on call with you

he’s still ))))): but ok,,,,,,let’s do that

you get to the park in record time because you ran + took a shortcut

once you get there you see one person sitting on the park bench and he’s wearing a black hoodie and you’re like 90% sure it’s junhui

you tell him to turn his head

and you see the black hoodie person look around and you’re like !!!!!!!!!yes that’s him i see you!!!!!!!!!!!

he’s wearing sunglasses and a mask though and you’re just like junhui,,,,,,,,,,it’s 3am i get that you don’t want to be seen but really,,,,,,,,,,,,,,the sunglasses,,,,,,,,can go,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

you can tell he’s grinning though through the mask and you’re just like what are you grinning at ( ≖.≖)

“i have the cutest soulmate ever askdghasdkljg”

and you’re just like j u N HUI PLEASE

he’d be gushing about how cute you are because you left the apartment wearing your pyjama pants and an oversized hoodie

honestly you probably look like a mess on legs but he’d still be all askdgkjlsDHGASLKDG over you because!!!!!!!!!!!he seriously does have the cutest soulmate

that’s kind of how your first date goes tbh

you just walk around the empty streets chatting

and then when you walk him back he’s like ))))): i should be walking you back ))))): and you’re just like it’s o k i’m gonna take the bus it’s almost 6am anyways

when you get back to your apartment your roommate is like ????????where were you?????????

and you’re just like l m a o i was on a date with my soulmate

and they’re just like !!!!!!!!!!!!!! ʕ •̀ ω •́ ʔ tell me but you’re like LOL no you have a lecture to attend go get ready

junhui messages you soon after saying that he got a 10 minute lecture from seungcheol about staying out so late

and you were like you should have pLANned this better you dork

“i’m your dork though”

“JUNHUI IT’S 6AM”

“(♡ˊ͈ ॢ꒳ ॢˋ͈)♡”

“ily too,,,,,,,,,,,dork”

you’re literally just about to go back to sleep when,,,,,,,,your phone starts ringing,,,,and you’re like wEN junhui please let me sleep;;;;;;;;;

but when you open the message it’s a picture of him with mingyu in the background holding up a peace sign

and the message attached says “i know you’re probably really tired, so i’ll message you later tonight,,,,sleep well!!!!!!! (ps. mingyu says hi & he wants to know where you got your bag bUT YOU DON’T have to reply right now!!!!!) dream about me ( ˘ ³˘)♡”

and you’re just like he’s,,,,,,,,really cute aksdghjalksdfhdaskg and you message him back and say ok and that you’ll call him later in the afternoon and he’s like OK!!!!!but go sleep,,,,i’ll feel bad if you feel tired later ))))))))):

to be very honest junhui might forget to message you sometimes

he tries to call you every night if he has time (or at least send you a message saying he’s alive and well and will call you the next night)

but he does,,,,,,,,forget

and you don’t worry very much because you kNOW he probably just left his phone on the table and went to bother minghao or someone

coincidentally whenever you see him and his groupmates you’re wearing the bag that you wore to the first fanmeet

and every single time mingyu sees it he’s like!!!!!!!!!!!!where did you get it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(you end up buying him one for his birthday and he almost hugged you to death before junhui was like that’s MY soulmate >:( no hugging them to death!!!!!that’s my job)

junhui still flirts with you though

you could be married 10+ years with 3 kids and he’ll still flirt with you

at 80 years he’ll probably still be like “do you have a bandaid? because i scraped my knee falling for you” and you’re just like S T O P

and a lot of times you don’t know if you’re dating junhui or if he’s dating his groupmates

but then you go visit them for movie night or something and they’re all like ewwww get a rOOM and junhui’s like OK and you’re just like wait what no junhui i’m not making out with you with your groupmates in the next room

he’s a super great boyfriend though

LOVES to cuddle okay

he either clings to you and doesn’t let go or waits for you to get clingy to tease you about it

there’s no in between

buys you little things he sees at street markets that reminds him of you

and ALWAYS talks about visiting his family with you and you’re just like i would,,,,,,,,very much like that yes

he sometimes starts planning things super in detail

example: when you said that you’d like to travel around china he literally,,,,,pulled out his phone and started searching for plane tickets and you were like JUNHUI YOU’RE PREPARING FOR A COMEBACK

boy just wants to show you his home country (even if you are from there,,,,,,,he’s gonna be so excited aksdhfaklsdf cute)

he’ll also absolutely LOVE IT if you learned mandarin or cantonese just so he can talk in his mother tongue, he’ll even help you honestly. and if you already speak either? wow look at that junhui’s complete heart eyes whenever you speak it

he has such a huge heart please treasure him a lot;;;;;;;

askldjfhaksjhd taeyeon!!! i love my ult bias

2. between 2&7 who would be your best friend?

jisoo (blackpink) | sungkyu (infinite)

3. between 5&10 who has the better voice?

kim kibum (key / shinee) | minseok (xiumin / exo)

ugh ok so both of their voices are so so unique and wonderful, but i’m gonna have to go with almighty key

taeyeon (snsd) | eunbi (sinb / gfriend)

adlkalskjdf they’re both so funny, but i love my dorky cutie patootie taeyeon

5. between 6&9 who would you date?

yoongi (suga / bts) | seongwoo (wanna one)

aldjhflkasjdfhasd oh god this is hard ugh ok seongwoo is so fun and energetic and our personalities are very similar, so that’d be such a fun, carefree relationship but also yoongi... i’ve been a fan of bts longer, so i feel more attached to yoongi i guess? and i admire him so much and i love his personality, like he’s so passionate about what he does and he cares so much about his members in this subtle but very loving way, and when he talks about his personal struggles in his mixtape and was so raw and open with it and i related so much to him and cried while listening to his mixtape, and i’m so soft for yoongi like you don’t understand and currently, i’m feeling sleepy and tired and i just wanna lay down and do nothing and i feel like yoongi would be down to do that, so i’ll have to go with yoongi

6. between 9&10, who would you do a collaboration with?

10. between 2&3 who has the better smile?

jisoo (blackpink) | taehyung (v / bts)

THIS IS THE DEVIL’S QUESTION WHY WOULD YOU EVER ASK THIS I HATE EVERYTHING NO I WILL NOT CHOOSE

11. between 6&8 who would you vacation with?

yoongi (suga / bts) | eunbi (sinb / gfriend)

i’m just in a very calm and lazing around sort of mood right now, and i think yoongi would be down for a mini, non extravagant vacation, like not cramming in every single tourist spot into the day but sleeping in and then planning to go to one or two fun areas and whatnot and also because i’m biased and i would be over the moon if i can go on a vacation with yoongi

MY END OF FEBRUARY-MARCH FAVOURITES LIST:

- BOOKS:

- A room of one’s own by Virgina Woolf.

The essay traces the literary history of the woman. In a practical sense, the ultimate aim of Virginia Woolf's thesis is to claim, for the female gender, the possibility of being admitted to a culture that until then had proved to be the exclusive masculine prerogative in a society, focusing on the English one. . But the most interesting intent of the essay turns out to be precisely that of deconstructing this patriarchal language in the literary and social sphere. If centuries of subjection have relegated the female figure to silence, excluding it from the halls of culture, then it becomes necessary to give space to a voice that represents the female perspective.

- Six of crows by Leigh Bardugo

This is a book that a friend of mine suggested to me while I was in Dublin. I wasn’t able to finish it until now cause I had too much stuff to do.

If you are a fantasy lover, you should definitely give this book a chance. The story begins when Kaz Brekker receives an offer from one of the richest and most powerful merchants of the city: in exchange for an exorbitant cash reward, Kaz will have to free the scientist Bo Yul-Bayur from the legendary Ice Court. The Ice Court, however, is an impregnable fortress located in the kingdom of Fjerda, the boy decides to hire a gang of criminals composed of five members: Inej Ghafa, a former acrobat and skilled spy; Jesper Fahey, an infallible shooter with a gambling habit; Nina Zenik, a Grisha of the Second Army of Ravka; Matthias Helvar, a former Drüskelle of Fjerda imprisoned in the Kerch prison; and Wylan van Eck, a wealthy young man who ran away from home and has some talent for making explosives. The book is extremely well written and every chapter is written from the point of view of each character. In this way the reader gets attached to each of them very easily. And just when you get into one character’s story … BOOM , the author changes point of view.

- Men without women by Haruki Murakami.

it is a collection of stories in which the common thread: the love (often unrequited) that men feel towards women without which they feel lost.

As a lover of Murakami’s works I really loved this one. I have to admit that it’s not the best one , but this is the only Murakami’s book that I’ve read in this period so it must be on my list.

- Lolita by Vladimir Nobokov.

The novel got a lot of criticism because of the rough issues faced by the author, which highlight a defined pedophile and even incestuous relationship.

The reader identifies with the vicissitudes of the main character: a professor of French literature who falls in love with a twelve-year-old girl and after becoming his stepfather remains passionately involved.

Humbert Humbert, tries to capture the sympathy of the reader, but in reality, towards the end of the novel he admits that he feels like a sort of "maniac" that has deprived the little Lolita of his most beautiful age : childhood.

The protagonist justifies his morbid behavior towards the little girl and his obsession with the other ones with the death of his first adolescent love.

What is great about this book is the search for details and the deepening of the psyche and the feelings of the protagonists, the skilful use of the weapon of irony that enshrouded the most rough passages.

- Irish folk and fairy tales by Michael Scott.

Ok , this one .. I’m not sure that everybody is interested in it but it has a special place in my heart because I’ve bought this one in Dublin when I went to a Christmas market. The owner of the book was a real Irish man so this make this book the most irish thing that I own.

The book tells different stories based in Ireland and some of the main irish legends.

-MUSIC:

- PENOMECO songs , especially “Coco bottle” , “LIE” , “GOOD MORNING” and No.5(feat. Crush). I knew this singer a few days ago and since then I’m listen to his songs all day long. I love him . He’s great. GREAT.

( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xkIImR-wS0 )

- BTS’s HER → It’s not a super new song for me , but in this period I listen to it more often than ever. Everybody that knows me , knows that I LOVE BTS so in this list there must be at least one of their song. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJyn5toSd0A).

Honestly , I listen to their album “ LOVE YOURSELF ANSWER” everytime I get into my car.

- Dance little liar by Arctic Monkeys. → Even this one it’s not new but I got to listen to it very very very often. I love them. Some time ago I even tried to get a ticket for their concert but it was a failure. ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hf-B3Y3B0TQ)

- the 1975’s “Sinceruty is scary” → They are one of my favourite band of all time. I love Matty , I love George , I love Adam and I love Ross. Please love them as I do. They really deserve it. ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1K93ioXL63c)

- Sarah Clove’s cover of “Somebody else” by the 1975 → The’s nothing I’m able to say about it , I can only put the link here and I leave you to her beautiful voice.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJcdEplzdn0 .

YOUTUBE CHANNEL:

-Caricakes.

If you LOVE Korea like I do this is the perfect channel for you. She is a really sweet girl and she doesn’t talk only about Korea.

She did videos about books and other stuff , too.

She’s really great , I love her.

https://www.youtube.com/user/blurrysmiles.

- If you’re intrested in movies and screenplays and stuff like that these are the channel for you: “Every frame a picture” and “Lessons from the screenplay”

https://www.youtube.com/user/everyframeapainting - https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=lessons+from+the+screenplay

-DKDKTV → This is a channe perfect for the ones who like me likes kpop ( particularly BTS). In some of their videos they try to analyze BTS (or other kpop group) lyrics. My favourite is the one in which they explain Euphoria (it’s very sad , but at the same time so beautiful)

link → https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQB0EABfh3U&t=2s

- Jenny Nicholson.

She basically takes media and makes fun of it. She’s very cute and funny.

One of my fav video is the one about “Fantastic beasts 2” because let’s be real .. Every Harry Potter fan got really upset after finishing to watch the movie.

Here’s the link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYUJ_ODfc8w&t=1303s

THAT’S ALL FOLKS (FOR NOW).

Taylor Swift 2018 Reputation Stadium Tour Netflix Special was fantastic!

Taylor Swift 2018 reputation Stadium Tour Netflix Special was fantastic!

The Taylor Swift 2018 reputation Stadium Tour was a pure success!

Swift’s performance in Dallas was unforgettable as she stood on a 150 foot tall stage. In fact, that’s the largest stage Taylor has performed on, it’s no wonder the whole set was on-point. Moreso, this was Taylor’s first Stadium Tour, which she opened up about on stage in Dallas.

“This is the first tour. Nobody has ever played back-to-back nights at this stadium before. Thank you guys.”

What a great way to wrap up the Taylor Swift 2018 reputation Stadium Tour, no doubt.

Swift also opened up about her song “All Too Well,” from her album “Red.”

“It’s weird because I feel like this song has two lives to it in my brain,” she tells the crowd “In my brain, there’s the life of this song where this song was borne out of catharsis and venting and trying to get over something and understand it and process it. She continued. “And then there’s the life where it went out in the world, and you turned this song into something completely different for me. You turned this song into a collage of memories of watching you scream the words to this song or seeing pictures you post to me of you having written the words of the song in your diary or you showing me your wrists and you have the tattoo of the lyrics of this song underneath your skin. And that is how you’ve changed the song ‘All Too Well’ for me.”

She even had snakes take over the stage, we assume to mock the haters that sit and call her a “snake.”

The video included some amazing visuals along with a mashup of Swift progressing over the years. Snakes were a huge part of her set, even her microphone had awesome detail!

During the set the gorgeous 29-year-old singer stepped on stage and gave a heart warming talk to all of her fans in the crowd before singing “Delicate.”

Swift opens up about the fear and anxiety that surrounds having a bad reputation, a nod to the name of her album and tour.

“Having a bad reputation in our mind could get in the way of finding real friendship, real love, real acceptance, people you really fit in with,” she tells the crowd. “All of us are sort of afraid of having a bad reputation because we’re so scared of something fake, like gossip, or a rumor about you or a name you got called getting in the way of you finding something real.”

Isn’t that the truth though? Fear and anxiety can hold us back from reaching our true potential but we don’t have to let the words of another destroy us.

Taylor Swift and Bryan Adams perform together, check it out!

Sometimes we really get dragged in the dirt because we are worried about our reputations due to some made up rumor, mind you, made up by people who know nothing about you and your life. As for Taylor Swift, that’s the paps but it’s still very relatable.

How many times have you found yourself anxious to attend school or hang out with friends because you had a disagreement with another and you were worried about what was said in regards to you and your actual actions during that situation. Further, Swift just proved we shouldn’t give a crap what people say about us behind our backs, at the end of the day, we know the truth and we know what we deserve.

Swift was real and down to earth, her dancer handed her a tissue and then she turned around to blow her nose. I mean, for real, she’s human and that’s the best part of seeing your favorite artist live in person. The fact that she took time to talk to her fans, give words inspiring words to never forget and thanking them for all their inspiration.

The whole set had a lot of emotion and meaning, to start we see negative reports about T-dawg and then when it’s time to wrap up we see a very happy Taylor skipping and at peace with her life and reputation.

What a priceless experience at the Taylor Swift 2018 reputation Stadium Tour and I can only imagine how it felt to be on that stage, singing your heart out for your family, friends and fans.

If you haven’t seen her Netflix special yet, you’ve got to check it out. And if you were able to attend her show, we’d love to hear your experience, did you have a blast? Some fans even made it onto the Netflix special, we’ve seen your handsome/beautiful faces!

Oh and mad shout-out to Taylor for walking through the crowd to see her fans up close and personal, that’s what being grateful looks like in case some people forgot.

Sound off in the comments below!

Blessed be!

BTS (방탄소년단) HEALED MY 2020

I had the need to dedicate one post to pop music from South-Korea, or as everybody calls it, “K-Pop”. My story with K-pop goes back around the 2011-12, when the Hallyu wave (South-Korean popularity of pop culture, music, shows, etc.) was just starting in this side of the world. I was a real fan of bands like BIGBANG and SUPERJUNIOR, you would’ve found me watching their videos on loop in YouTube. However, for some foolish reason which I still don’t quite know, I left that music aside and focus all my attention on other artists, like One Direction. Don’t get me wrong, I love 1D with all my heart, but I could’ve have been immersed in K-pop during all this time, and I didn’t, which is something I regret.

The good news is that this year I reconnected with K-pop, and I have to say that it was one the most wonderful things that I can highlight of this 2020. I was going through really dark times in my personal life when K-pop found me; specially and specifically BTS found me. I already knew the group, but never got round to listen to their music, now I reproach myself every day for not doing it sooner.

I can’t put into words what BTS music made me feel the first time I listen to their albums. They transmit so much with their lyrics and voices that this post wouldn’t be enough to talk about it. I never had the chance to say that music saved my life, or that it healed me as I heard many people say, but with BTS I can openly say that they were my saviours this 2020. After I started to listen to their music, I started to feel so good in all aspects of my life, then I knew I only needed to listen one melody of one of their songs and everything would be ok – crazy I know, but it’s true –, and that still hasn’t change. I feel so connected to their music, it motivates me, inspires me to be and want more, that I´ll be forever thankful with them for their music and themselves, of course.

Later, I surely got into a lot of more groups which are fantastic just like their music; BUT, the connection I feel with BTS and their music goes beyond explanation. I usually tend to joke around saying that I´m in a hole that I don’t want to get out because I feel good in it, I feel good with myself and everything around me, BTS music makes me real happy. That is why I say that K-pop healed my wounded 2020, I don’t know what would’ve been of me if I hadn’t fall for K-pop. Even now, while I’m writing this, I’m listening to a BTS playlist (stream 'BE'). I know that there are a lot of more things that I can refer to in this post about K-pop music, but it would be eternal.

Here I attach a few songs that I felt really related to the first time I listened to them, by the voices and lyrics. You can check them if you’re interested 😊.

RULES: Repost and answer the questions, then tag at least 3 of your followers :)

I was tagged by: @the-damnedest-creature !! thank you!! //;;w;//

I’m not gonna tag that many peeps because I’m not solely a J-rock blog and not many people that follow me are solely J-rock blogs either I think hehe but um mebbe @romanesque-moon and @severemagazinementality idk ignore this if you don’t want to do it of course but we’re mutuals so yeh !! ;u; go for it if you feel like it, sorry for taggin out of the blue ///v// I have hardly any J-rock fan followers to be honest I think /;; ;))/

anywaaaaaays ヽ・ω・*/ﾉ

1. When and how did you get into j-rock?

jokesss it was animu as usual ahahahaa I was already listening to J-pop at the time like Arashi and Yuki Kajiura I also liked Perfume by that point too, around.. 2012..? somewhere around there ;w; I was 13 years old.

I actually can't remember who my first J-rock band I ever heard was ;;u ; I listened to a lot of anime intros and found a couple of artists from there.... the first J-rock song I ever heard was probably SID's Monochrome no Kissu huhuhu but I didn't actually listen to SID after that..... ting is is that I was painfully weeby at the time, the typically cringey child that would more listen to ... random american pop songs that I found on amvs, and all the classics like cascada's everytime we touch and the 'numa numa song' ,,...... //////v/// and I listened to a LOT of Vocaloid, all of it, I was obcessed, it’s literally all I would listen to for a year or so ﾉω`*)ﾉ I also found a finnish rock band called Indica through an amv and even bought one of their albums ;u; my music taste was a crazy mix of stuff I'd just found on Youtube really... I loved The Midnight Beast (reppin from uk) and I still do, Lemon Demon too.... and I downloaded official soundtracks from anime like Pandora Hearts and D.Gray Man and listened to those as well. I was also a big fan of Yugioh the abridged series and would listen to yugioh song parodies LittleKuriboh made ;; u ;

Only a small part of my music library was J-rock and J-pop at the time... but I think the first band that caught my attention was Buck-Tick, after I watched the anime xxxHolic somewhere in 2012. Then after watching Shiki a little later I recognised the same voice and looked kuchizuke up and was jammin, and for some reason I watched an interview with Aachan before getting distracted by that one video that everyone has seen of T.M singing dress with him, and listening to ABS instead because I knew them from the theme song to D.Gray man ///u// it was only until summer 2013 until I really found out who Buck-Tick actually was, I listened to as many singles as I could find and I fell in love with them in less than 24 hours hehe ´｡• ᵕ •｡` I actually didn't like rock music at all before then, b-t were the group that introduced me to being a rock music fan even though I still didn't like heavier sounds, like Gazette that my friend was into. Sometime later that year I listened to L'arc en Ciel for the first time too, I think I read about them in a magazine or something.. I can't remember //w// ((I bought the 'stay away' single at may mcm in 2014, my first J-rock cd :3c)) I still listened to a lot of J-pop during 2013 and Arashi had begun to dominate my life, so I didn't really get properly into J-rock and visual kei until early 2014 when I started listening to ancafe, because I'd heard of them from cosplayers on deviantart who had them in their ID section under music interests, and then subsequently finding out they were touring in europe :3c I was more partial to oshare and lighter pop-punk things around that time.. early days was LM.C and Alice Nine and Royz after that....

Kind of a long and patchy story (wow it’s really long why did I write so much I’m so sorry it’s so boring) but there isn't necessarily an exact moment I started listening to J-rock... only in the last year or so have I let Vkei fully consume my life so... back then it was only a side interest for me among all the other things ˊ꒳ˋ from 2014 onwards I just found more and more bands as well as listening to a lot of johnny's and J-pop stuffs... >w> and the rest is historyyyy

2. List your current most favorite band(s).

bakuchikuuuuu forever and ever every moment of my waking life alwaysss till I dieeee //w/// and Dog in the PWO >:3 two very contrasting groups to say the leest but I have a wide breadth of faves hehe ;;w; I fell in love with Doggu super quickly and have been following them ever since, I've known them for a year now and they are 100% in my top 5 favourite bands ever ;u ; dems are my two main faves as it is right now but there are too many others to list that I have a lot of feelings for /;;w;//

Currently I also like listening to Hakujitsu no Yume... Pentagon are my children.... Piglow in Gloomy are really amazing also ;w;;

3. How many j-rock concerts have you been to? (If you haven’t been to any, which band would you like to see the most in the future?)

not many becos I am a baby and I have never travelled out of my home country to raibus ;;v; my first ever was Ancafe in 2014, when I was a weeby mess, and most recently Versailles in January 2017 :3c inbetween I’ve seen VAMPS (and alexandros) at a shared live @ ‘Japan Night’ which was a lil concert organised by HyperJapan, a convention here in uk ..can I count bands that I’ve seen at Hyper too..? ;;w; I’ll just count Vaniru because they were aight while Yuto and Leoniel lasted as a couple heheh >w>> and I also went to SuG’s raibu in 2015~

so that makes 6 i guess.. I am a bebe ;;

//come on Merry where u at with this europe tour??//

there are so so so many bands I wanna see live, and I would go to a couple more lives in London here and there but I always get attached to groups that are very Japan-based and that are very unlikely to make any overseas appearances ;v; and I don’t wanna spend a lot of monies on bands that I don’t know as well that occasionally visit //3///

4. Which j-rock band do you think is the most underrated?

Daizystripper o´ω｀o They used to be a more popular with western peeps but I think a lot of people stopped listening to them a while ago an might not even realise that they're still active and tings ;; v; their debut with Victor might make it a little difficult for international fans though eheh but I wish they still had the support they seemed to have~ so many good jams ; u ;

And everyone from Planet Child Music records needs more recognition and to be invited to more events ///u//

5. Which j-rock band do you think is the most overrated?

If I had to I'd say Vamps hhhhuu I thought that they were v good up until recently ;;w; I dunno I feel like the couple of newer songs have lost their power and originality... and no matter what I'll always think L'arc are infinitely better but some people think not //vv/// Vamps are always over here and in other countries too, whereas L'arc I feel are neglected a lot with world tours and overseas promotion and stuff when they deserve more love than vamps ;3; I mean.. 25 years going strong //u/ why dis Hyde come back to uk without vamps this time hhhh

6. Who is your ultimate bias in j-rock? Optionally: Post your most favorite picture(s) of them.

ahhhhh .. Aachan got me from the start ;; ﾉﾉ*ФωФ ;;ﾉﾉﾉﾉ

7. What is your most treasured j-rock related memory?

Um.. not that much has happened to me personally that I can really mention hehe >w>

Hizaki calling me cute at Hyper's meet & greet last year was probably the best thing that's acc happened to me ;;;;w;;;;;; It was the end of the day and I looked like a wreck, Hizaki saw me as I came up for cheki and said 'kawaii~' ////w// best memory heckk I mean Hizaki---- being called cute by Hizaki ;;;;;u; why dis I do not deserve (and obvs taking cheki with him was part of that good memory too >w>)

An Cafe was my first live, and I'll always remember that my one of my favourite singles is 'My heart leaps for 'C'' and when they played it after the encore I went insane hehe ;;; u ; that was a treasured moment for me because it was kind of surreal like 'oh wow a band that I love is playing one of my favourite songs is this real??' and ... since I was an hyperactive 15 year-old that moment just made me really excited ;v; I was singing along (horribly) to every lyric and bouncing up and down like crazy and I would not let that feeling go for a while //w/ ah to be young again ~~

But SuG is probably the best raibu memory ever ever. they played a very very small venue in London and it was literally the most intimate thing imaginable, you could touch everyone and Takecchi almost hit his head a few times on the lights above him ;;u; and even though I was in like, three rows of people away from the front, Chiyu's hand grazed mine for a second and that was the most special moment ;;w; Shinpei leaned into the audience for a group hug and Yuji and Chiyu were high-fiving and ruffling people's hair ///;w;/ it was such a long farewell with everyone touching hands and patting heads and it felt so nice and close, I thought we were really lucky to get such an intimate show ⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄

8. How do you support and enjoy j-rock the most? Buying CDs? Going to lives? Just full on going to Japan for it?

I buy Cd's if I can for bando that I really love and want to support, and at lives I buy at least one peice of merch every time too :3c and I'm trying to get into a habit of buying Cure if bands I like are featured >u> I accidentally end up following e v e r y o n e on twitter and just scroll thru liking posts if that counts as 'support' ? :'3

9. How does your family feel about this hobby of yours?

My parents don't really mind, I end up showing my mama photos and videos and she understands my hype at everyone I think hehe, and I play cd's often so my parents hear J-rock a lot but don't complain~ we all have our own music collections now it’s so cute 〃▽〃 I talk about J-rock a lot like, I just ramble on mostly to myself because I have no-one else to talk to in the house so ;;u; my parents don't really listen that closely but ye, they don't mind and they're glad I'm into something different I guess :'3c

10.What is the craziest j-rock fandom story that you have?

idk what j-rock 'fandom' story means exactly,,, like, you heard the story from the fandom or the story is about the actual fandom itself..? ;;w; well actually I guess this is both haha this is the only story that I have worth telling and I only heard it a couple weeks ago but ;//u.//

A friend of a friend has connections with Mejibray’s MiA, and he messages her and lots of other peeps I’d imagine as MiA prob does~ and on one occasion MiA was sent a cute little (I say little but) Intimate Image that the 1 and only Yohio took of his peen and decided to share it around so other people could enjoy it obvs >>>ww.>> and he sent it to said friend, nice one >;3ccc thank u for showing me too I feel very privileged, too many bants I was dying ahh ..//www//// why dis MiA why dis......... poor Yohio ;; v; u don’t need to send dick pics to impress your senpai, kids ;; /////; poor little child ;u;;

---yyyyeee I’m so boring das literally all I have apart from the most mediocre things like being jealous of people that get to go to meet&greets and have fun encounters and peeps that actually manage to catch picks at lives etc //u....///

Thank you for reading ♡
