CRUEL PRINCE IS BECOMING A MOVIE

[cozylittleartblog]

Columbo and the Knight (1984)

put me in the universe where Columbo ran through the 1980s and had a crossover episode with Knight Rider. I think they deserved it, and I am not just saying that because they're my two favorite Old Shows. @telebeast wrote a little fanfic blurb about it and I HAD to visualize it into a comic (which is also the longest comic I have finished thus far at five pages...), so writing credit goes to them.

Watch me give up on making the cover chat...

Killer belongs to Rahafwabas

Color belongs to Superyoumna

(Cries and dies, the amount of times I had to try and organize it again to look actually decent)

When the angsty ahh aus meet

+ smol comfort bestie swap

[radioroxx]

funny thing about aus in which another one of the party joins the loops with siffrin is that, while the others are 10x more likely to mention the loops, i cant imagine any of them would go to siffrin first.

[moe-broey]

Ehhh fuck it I'll post this one too -- I wanted to color it first, but. I'm actually split on redoing Alfonse's outfit completely, or at least making adjustments.

Like, in my head, I think I was doing two separate things between the Askr siblings and it just doesn't feel cohesive to me now.

What, you ask? Well, the first thought behind this, was this is a visit. So, Sharena is straight up wearing Moe's old clothes it never could seem to let go of. I think I got mixed up around Alfonse, though. Literally half and half. He's wearing some of Moe's clothes (esp the flannel, green, band merch), but the idea here is they did have to go out and get stuff that actually fits right.

Which... works. It does work. But I think in the back of my head I was also wanting to design an outfit that's more AU coded. Going from argyle sweater vest ass to mmmmaybe trying to develop his own sense of style. Which kind of directly clashes w the idea that he's wearing some of Moe's clothes. But also. So. SO BADLY. ESP IN THIS CONTEXT. I would LOVE for Moe to have direct influence in the process of that. Another detail you don't even get to see here is Alfonse is wearing a studded belt. Courtesy of Moe.

Lack of direction too many ideas at once. Maybe if it's an AU, the dress could have been a hand-me-down? If you like it, and it fits. You can have it. If you want... (Moe completely dodging just how deeply meaningful this gesture is when doing this). But also, could go REALLY crazy if Moe (previous life) had fashion taste that was close enough to Sharena's that, like. At different points of time, each ended up picking out the same dress. It's such a funny line to balance, actually. Because despite all the parallels I may draw between them, Moe was NEVER what Peony was, to Sharena. Not even close.

Idk idk there's a possibility that I'll get too frustrated w all the details not matching up here that I scrap it completely. Just know that the dress Sharena is wearing is pink and white. Very Princess Peach core. The style of it, though... it's pretty close to something else... a certain Something Else... just enough to scare ya. Which is ALSO WHY this might work better as a visit and unique psychological damage for Alfonse but I DIGRESS. WHAT YHE FUCK EVER. TOO MUCH GOING ON HERE JUST THROW IT ALL OUT‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

[tvckerwash]

I have a hc that post beating the crap out of his CO but prior to being demoted back to corporal, wash spent like a week as an ODST drill sergeant as a 'punishment' until the higher ups finished their investigation, and that's the only real experience training others he has going into chorus.

so basically, wash tortured tucker and the combined armies of chorus with the brutal training used to root out the people who couldn't make the cut as an ODST, which only makes the scene where the kids jump grif even funnier than it already is.

The chances of me reading a published book to its end drop catastrophically when I spot a spelling or grammatical error.

I know we live in an age of "hurry and get this on shelves as fast as possible and with as little expenditure of time and money", but publishers can only afford to be so cheap and hasty before it begins to shake the confidence of their customers. And annoy the shit out of them.

It's supposed to be "peal". Spellcheck didn't catch this one, and AI is so dumb it probably wouldn't have either.

Super interested in how you plan to write Leopardfoot! I feel like both fanon and canon tend to make her into a sweet mom(tm) who’s super sad that Tigerstar is evil, very similar to how Goldenflower is usually treated. What’s her thoughts on Pinestar and him leaving? How did she influence Tigerstar? What are her political beliefs?

Society has progressed past the need for sad moms who stare tearily at their evil sons and boohoo about all the murder. It's MOTHER AGENCY TIME

BB!Leopardfoot was FEROCIOUS. Her father was the indominable Adderfang, and he taught her about the importance of honor and glory. When Tigerpaw was given to Thistleclaw as an apprentice, she was proud of it. It felt perfect to her-- that her father's apprentice was now her son's mentor.

For his brief rule, she supported Sunstar completely. It helped that he came after the disastrous and embarassing exit of Pinestar, which ruined the legacy that she wanted him to give her son. Pinestar was a damn coward and a codebreaker... and she assured Tigerkit that he was more HER son than his.

She even gives him a life, for Legacy, in defiance of StarClan

She was friends with Bluemoon for a time, but after ascending to StarClan, she learned about the Forget-me-nots.

This changed her opinion of her. Leopardfoot supports Thistle Law, STRONGLY so.

She supported THISTLECLAW when he tried to forcefully void the Queen’s Rights. If Bluemoon hadn't broken the code, then what did she have to hide?

She backed off when Thrushpelt leapt to her defense though, "She didn't reveal it because she doesn't love me are you happy now??"

Leopardfoot: *awkwardly turns away feeling like an asshole now, tea SPILLED, her friend's dirty laundry EXPOSED, thought she was crusading for the law but she just dug up drama*

Towards the end of Pinestar’s reign, he was getting exhausted. He wanted peace. Leopardfoot wanted kittens around that time, and figured that there was no better cat than the son of Oakstar, architect of the infamous Crusade Era.

If Pinestar had no children, a glorious bloodline would have died out. She wanted it for her kits. Pinestar agreed on the condition that he would be their Mi, which she happily accepted.

So when Pinestar left, she jumped into the nursery to take over and had to explain to her kits where their Mi went.

She drove it home to them that he abandoned everything, because his weakness took over. They would never be like him, she promised.

Mistkit died very young. Nightpaw made it to apprenticeship before she also succumbed. Tigerclaw remembers very well how hard it was to lose his sisters.

Leopardfoot herself was taken shortly before TPB, in Spottedleaf's Plague. Her death causes Tigerclaw to have a bit of a moment.

After the trial in Bluestar's Flowers, Leopardfoot leaves StarClan along with a bunch of other Thistle Law supporters, including Thistleclaw himself. She joins the BOTTE at the end of OotS, fighting to the end with her son.

She misses him a lot, and remains in the Dark Forest to the current arc. She chose her path; and has the dignity to walk it.

She does miss StarClan sometimes though, and will tell you stories about it if you ask.

In terms of demon friends, she's somewhere in the clique between the harsher and softer spirits.

She dislikes Morningstar, Cloudberry, and Ryewhisker on the softer end, and has come to resent Thistleclaw and Finchflight on the other, but likes Darkstripe, Leopardstar, and Silverhawk.

Gets along with a range of "mid" level demons.

In particular I imagine she hangs out with Darkstripe a lot. Taste test buddy, he asks her to try his experimental recipes because she's honest but not mean. One of the few Thistle Law supporting cats he hangs out with after the double-death of Tigerstar.

He calls her Lefty. Her official nickname is "Left" but he calls her Lefty.

(Clanmew: her name is Saorpwyyar. Others call her Saopr. He calls her Sapyy.)

Her mom and dad Swiftbreeze and Adderfang are here too, following Thistleclaw like she did, but she's been minimizing her contact with her dad. She feels like she is owed an apology somehow but also doesn't have the emotional intelligence to know that it's what she wants.

She just knows that she feels really bitter talking to him, and that's unpleasant.

She used to be VITRIOLIC with Pinestar, who is also here, even going after him physically when he chose to join in with the Dark Forest trainees. But now... honestly so much shit has happened, she just doesn't like seeing him. She wishes he wasn't here.

I write her being very dignified. She doesn't like to admit publically she was ever wrong and speaks with confidence, quietly backing off and not wanting to speak about her mistakes. She loves her children and her family, but explores the world in a very "self-centric" way, trusting her feelings and personal judgement over anything logical.

A reactionary sort of person, if that makes sense.

Her Land Mar has to develop over time because she is an ex-StarClan migrant (damned souls get theirs instantly after judgement), but it's called the Fence Cliff. It's a picket fence that blocks off a sheer drop, making a sharp turn down the cliff face and acting as a walkway. Follow the fence down the slope, and you can access the Dark Forest's town biome.

[Spoilers for HSR. Cain’s story+romance.]

Do you ever think about the possibility that Cain learned his gentleness from Abel? His hush, hush… after Lane almost drowns, his sitting with her as she’s feeling ill, his careful tending to her wounds, his comforting her after she falls from the sky? Because he’s been all alone for centuries on Earth, and apparently didn’t have a close relationship with ‘either’ of his parents (his mother was likely to kill him, so if Cain had another they also may’ve tried to), so where and when could he have learned this? Seeing it is one thing, but Cain’s actions come across more like old practices, just a bit rusty. We can infer he’s kept distance on Earth. So…

who taught Cain how to instinctively give care?

[airenyah]

Hello!! I just saw JD cover for Black Tie in LOL fanfest 2024 and I'm just mind-blown. The aerial flips!!! Upside down spider man kiss type moment with Joong in the air. Both of them switching for aerial flips!! The outfits!! The neck snapping symbolism!! Dunk's deep voice complementing perfectly with Joong's high notes. I want their studio cover of Black tie for listening on repeat. Do they get enough time for preparing like that?? I just want to ask if the entire LOL fanfest performances are like that?? Can you suggest me some good performances like that if you've been following the LOL fanfest or any other concerts?

sorry that it took me forever to reply!! i had (actually still have rip) uni stuff and other time consuming personal projects going on and then joongdunk kept flirting on main (save. me. please.)

now, moving on to your questions:

do they get enough time for preparing like that?

joong actually very helpfully answered this question in a tiktok live back in march:

"LOL ปกติก็ซ้อมใกล้ๆ อยู่แล้วก่อนงาน ประมาณ 20 ถึง 30 วันประมาณ แต่ก็เคยนะ มีแบบ 15 วันก็มี"

this roughly translates to:

"usually LOL rehearsals are close to the event, about 20 to 30 days beforehand. but there's also been like 15 days"

which means as of me writing this, they should already be rehearsing (or start to rehearse). to me, 15 days seems quite stressful, but 20-30 days seems totally manageable, especially since everyone is on stage at different times. multiple groups could rehearse their parts on the same day parallel to the others (god how i wish i could be the fly on the wall!! i'm SO interested in all of the behind the scenes mechanics that come with putting on this show)

I just want to ask if the entire LOL fanfest performances are like that?? Can you suggest me some good performances like that if you've been following the LOL fanfest or any other concerts?

see, this is another reason why i took a month to reply. i was really struggling with the phrasing of "like that". it's quite broad. what exactly do you mean by "like that"? there are so many aspects you could focus on in that comparison (the singing, the dancing, the genres of the songs, the costumes, the moods, etc)...

now if you're asking me, if the entire LOL show is like black tie? the answer would be no. and that's because the entire show is pretty colorful when it comes to performances and the set list. it can go from something more rough like ยุติธรรม to something like saa-tuu (i really don’t know how to describe the vibes for this one) to something sexy like hit me up to something fun sexy like melon to something cute like มะงึกๆอุ๋งๆ to slower ballads like first love. (i wanted to embed all the vids straight in the post, but unfortunately tumblr won't let me add more than 10 :( what a sad world we live in)

as you can see, the vibes are all over the place in a full LOL show. now if you're asking me if there's been any other performance that has the exact same vibes as the black tie performance? the answer would be, well yes, but also no.

it's yes because...

(can't link to source of the one below bc unfortunately it was deleted from youtube)

(if you haven't seen this already, i really encourage you to watch both of these performances btw bc there's some nice switcheroo going on between D1 and D2 hehe)

and the answer is also no, because i think a big part of the vibes also simply just comes down to both black tie and dum dum being jeff satur songs. jeff satur's vibes are immaculate. you won't find a performance with the exact same vibes because no other artist that i've seen covered in LOL has the exact same vibes as jeff has. so if you're looking for a performance with the exact same vibe as black tie, well, there is, but it's the only other jeff satur song

now, if you meant "like that" in the sense of other performances that share the story telling aspect (but not necessarily the vibes)? there are a few, and again, the vibes are all over the place hahaha:

the entire opening with the ost section of LOL 2024 was one little story after the other. i meant to embed this video in the post, but unfortunately tumblr won't show it rip. (ost section starts at 4:56. sorry, the angle isn't great, but you can just look up fancams of the individual performances that you're personally interested in. joongdunk did your smile from hidden agenda)

as for story telling examples that come from other concerts that aren't LOL, there's also these two from the MSP prom night concert:

if you're asking for more performances where people are flying in the air, well, in the very same concert earthmix were spinning circles in the air during เรา and phuwin came down from the sky in truth in the eyes. geminifourth also floated during their cover of simm ost star & sky in the my turn concert and in starlympics jasp.er had their entrance from above for sadistic. however, none of these people are doing full on saltos in the air like joong and dunk did in black tie

i don't really follow the concerts religiously (i mostly check out the performances that involve joong and/or dunk, with some other artists' performances here and there), but if you wanna do some research on your own, here are some places you can start:

LOL fan fest 2022 (playlist)

LOL fan fest 2023 (day1 | day2)

LOL fan fest 2024 (day1 | day2)

MSP Prom Night Live On Stage (day1+2)

GF my turn concert (day1+2)

GF run the world concert (day1 | day2)

beluca concert (playlist)

gmmtv musicon cambodia (joong parts | other playlist) (<- this other playlist is mostly cambodia, but also includes some other ones)

fan feel fun camping concert (playlist)

fanday in bkk (JD | EM | PP | FK | FB)

i by far haven't watched my way through all of these, but these are just some concerts i know of and/or have seen one or the other performance of. if you're looking for concerts involving joong and dunk specifically, then from the list above that would be LOL 2023 + 2024 (joongdunk), fan feel fun (joongdunk), fanday in bkk joongdunk day, musicon cambodia (joong). dunk was also part of the gmmtv musicon nanning, but you're probably gonna have to check twitter for that, bc there isn't really anything on youtube. and of course joong is part of jasp.er now, they've also done a bunch of performances already (like their songkran concert)

my personal faves (joongdunk version)

as for my own personal favorite jongdunk performances, obviously dum dum and black tie are on the list. i also highly recommend "look khun noo" (D2 specifically), because i mean hellooo????

the legs????

(source)

joong rubbing his head against dunk????

(source)

the kiss on his temple????

(terribly sorry, but i full on had to steal @nanihirunkits gifs from this post here bc tumblr wouldn't put them side by side via the gif search. hope it works now 🙏🏻) (edit: it's fine on mobile now, but not on desktop eurgh. tumblr is a website)

anyway, i also quite liked their performance of hurt me please for the thk final episode party:

and long term followers of this blog will also know that i'm obsessed with these two performances from fan feel fun, i keep coming back to them specifically:

(other fancam)

there are some joong solo performances that i also greatly enjoy, such as joong's cover of นิทานพันดาว (the atots theme song) or that chinese song he posted on twitter a while ago for lunar new year or his performance of beast inside. special shoutout also to joong's cover of last twilight, first of all because joong was absolutely obsessed with this song in 2024 (to the point where he had dunk film a gay little mv for it with him after a fanmeet abroad, which they then both posted to twitter) and i'd been waiting for months for him to finally officially perform it, and second of all for the lyric change from "dang nai hua-jai" to "dunk natachai" (the "dang" from the line and dunk's name are the same word lmao) which you can find at 1:43 in the above linked video

i don't know if my personal faves fall under your category of "good performances like [black tie]" (since the vibes vary greatly), but these are just a collection of performances i enjoy for a variety of different reasons

okay. wow. i didn't realize i had this much to say dgkjdsgkjsdfhgkhdg i'll stop it here for now, also in part bc i really gotta use my afternoon studying for an exam i have on tuesday which i really can't fail or else i'll have a scheduling problem. bye for now. hope this helped 👋🏻

adding emulator games to your steam library is so much fun

look how pretty they look!

uhh... also, not so fun fact?: i still have to play like, half of the actual steam games in my library lol

listen, i have played all the emulator games because you only download their roms when you actually want to play them! with steam games though, you can't resist the impulse of buying twelve super cheap games on sale despite not having the will or time to currently play any of them!!!!!!!

@prototypelq my dear mutual i just know that you have spotted outer wilds sitting in my library immediately. i'm happy to inform that i do own the game!!!... i just have to play it xD

[pumpkinspicenietzsche]

how do you fund an organization you have heard nothing about?

Okay, so after the Wilbur stream, I have been THINKING, and I've been THINKING SO GODDAMN HARD and something is just NOT adding up to me.

So q!Wilbur knows jack shit about the federation, despite... apparently, Lovejoy being a key funding source? Which has been killing my brain for a while because you know... it makes no goddamn sense. I don't need to explain to you why this makes no sense. You read the title, you get the point. You get why I'm confused.

If this isn't a blatant plothole, q!Wilbur knows much more than he's letting on. Or, some secret other option where the feds are just... iunno, spouting shit? That's all I can think of.

But I really like that secret option I know nothing about because it means q!Wilbur is way more likely to begin experiencing THE HORRORS, which he hasn't really experienced yet (sure, his daughter's missing, but I bet you could inflict a LOT more trauma on this poor sickly musician boy come on, step up your game qsmp admins)

As much as I LOVED thinking of Wilbur being more aligned with the federation before he came back, this man needs some CHARACTER MOTIVATION, which means he needs to not be evil, at least for a bit. Just a SECOND.

No matter how it turns out (except for the plothole outcome because that would be upsetting), I'm extremely excited to see where Wilbur's arc goes from here!
