Fontaines D.C. - I Love You (Live at Red Rocks)

[astrow1zar6]

Astro notes- 22

Having a Neptune in the 1st house can feel like your living in a dream. It’s harder for you to not get taken up by your imagination. This placement is known for dreaming with their eyes open. A lot struggle from Maladaptive Daydreaming. Meditation/ Breath work can help with grounding these people.

Aries placements (especially the moon & rising) have amazing eyebrows. They’re all so perfect arched and full. They’re eyebrows can sometimes make them look intimidating as well.

Libra in your big three usually have buck teeth or they just have really big teeth in the front.

People with Pluto risings cannot stand fake energy. Being around too many fake people can literally make them go insane & snap on everyone. These people normally March at the beat of their own drum which causes many people to flock to them for advice.

Aquarius moons emotions can come out really robotically. Like you don’t know if they really care when you vent to them. They act very nonchalantly and bored when people open up emotionally to them. I started crying in front of my aqua moon friend once and she just stared at me & patted me on the back😭😂 she tried tho. Also I notice aqua moons have a weird thing with physical affection. They are the times to give like 2 seconds hugs or just not like to be touched much in general.

Sagittarius suns have a habit of embarrassing themselves to make others laugh. They really have no shame. They will say and no the most outlandish shit just to get a giggle out of someone. They can sometimes embarrass others tho if they do too much. They can be really extra.

People with Gemini & Sagittarius in their big three we’re probably class clowns

Leo suns never wanted the same things as anyone when they were little. They always wanted something that made them stand out from the crowd. (Ex: everyone had pink tiaras for my cousins birthday and my Leo cousin threw a fit because she wanted purple instead so she didn’t look like everyone else) 😂

Aquarius suns are chameleons in social settings. They can fit into any group & usually have a big people pleaser personality. Not in a weak way however but they just understand what people like & how to engage certain people properly.

Capricorn stelliums can end up being rich or famous. These people are really hustlers. I’ve seen these people start businesses in their 20s with this it worked 3 jobs to get the life they need. One thing these people know how to do is work.

Cancer and Libra suns tend to loose themselves in partnerships the most. I’ve seen these people make their partners their world while they completely neglect other areas of their life. They are both really blinded by love.

Uk an Aries sun women likes you when they start teasing/bullying you. (Playfully!) arguing is foreplay to them bizarrely lol.

If Jupiter is prominently yet negatively aspected in the chart it can show narcissistic or sociopathic tendencies.

Virgo moons tend to like very fresh light scents. Like fresh linen, laundry smells, light floral scents. Nothing to heavy.

Taurus placements look best with minimal to no makeup & Libra placements normally look incredible with a full face of makeup or just glamour looks. It’s really interesting how the two sides of Venus play out. Taurus gives more of an earthy goddess vibe & Libra gives me a more chic fashionista insta model/influencer vibe. Both value beauty & aesthetics but in opposite ways.

this isnt speaking to anything good about sims 4 but if anymore more the creativity of its players/mods but i have these two saves that i downloaded from other people and they are insanely gorgeous the way people use TOOL and custom paintings to create furniture and building setups that would never be possible... i have a little downtown center in newcrest with lots of building types on one lot including like an empty retail front with FOR SALE signs on the window and its so fun. it would be great if u could make like double or triple type venues like ts3 but without them being rabbitholes... if ts4 was supposed to be next gen why hasnt it IMPROVED on already implemented features!!!

oh for sureeee the community around ts4 truly makes it what it is. when i see modders and cc creators making the most detailed incredible fun cool additions to the game for freeeeeeeee i just think how is ea not fucking embarrassed. like u have all the money in the world and you can't come out with any content half as good as this random 19 yo sims player making mods/cc from their bedroom. it's wild!!!!! also ur newcrest sounds so fun omgggg i never know what to do with it lmfao. if they had just genuinely elevated ts3 esp in terms of rabbit holes then i would be happy but they literally couldn't even do thatttt 😭

So much of the complexity and simplicity of Usagi and Minako’s relationship is distilled here in just this one lil flashback from the R Movie, and I love it so much.

One of many things I love about Minako & Usagi’s relationship is that Minako sacrifices so much, all the time, in order to be a sailor soldier, and Usagi is the only one who ever kind of acknowledges that

(I think this is tied with Usagi and Minako being the only inners to mount their pre-Sailor lives). Minakos deepest dream is to be an idol, and besides her friends it’s the most important thing in the world to her. And it’s over the moment a talking cat finds her and tells her she’s a reincarnated soldier, all at the age of 13. So she compromises, she becomes Sailor V, the famous lone soldier who mysteriously fights monsters and everyone is talking about. And then that comes to an end too. Minako doesn’t get to be Sailor V anymore, she has to join a team of sailors as Sailor Venus. No longer is she famous, and no longer is she the most special sailor: that’s Sailor Moon. This drives Minako crazy, and I love that we see it as early as that season 2 ep where she gets sooo pissed at the little kids who are huge Sailor Moom fans but have no idea who Sailor Venus is 😭

Usagi saying my idol is here does two things simultaneously: it validates Minako’s sacrifice to join the team, and it validates her dream to become an idol. Usagi can’t even know how much this means to Minako. Usagi is, for all intents and purposes, the biggest idol in Minako’s life. Usagi is princess and queen and superhero all rolled into one, the most special sailor out of all of them that Minako is sworn to protect, that the world loves, and that all of their enemies target. She is the most important person to Minako, and to all of the other important people in Minako’s life (the other sailors). And that person, the supreme plot-anointed hero among heroes, the very reason for Minakos sacrifice, is turning to her and going “you are the coolest fucking person here!!!” I love how genuine Usagi is, she can’t contain her glee. It’s Sailor Fucking V!!!! Minako is hearing this from the princess, the most “special” person, but also Usagi is Minako’s best friend. They have an incredibly strong relationship stripped away from all the sailor stuff. And her best friend is saying to her, of course you can be an idol, you already are mine!!! It’s that simple. I love how much this means to Minako, and in so many different ways.

Lastly I love her response. She doesn’t break down in tears, or turn and tell Usagi how much this means to her. No, Minako is ever the opportunist, she has a fan, and so she poses. Ta-Da! And yet she can’t completely hide how touched she is- we can see her blushing. It’s so quintessentially Minako, she hides a mountain of feelings in a flippant gesture and a puffing of her chest, but also it’s a reaffirmation that you know what? Yeah she still is an idol.

Over on Twitter there was a meme that was like “Post 10 bands you've obsessed about at some point in your life,” so I decided to list the first 10 that came to mind 🤔🤔 Note that this isn’t my current or all-time top 10 bands ever, but 10 that I can remember being obsessed with at some significant point in my life.

1. Skinny Puppy — Duh.

2. Culture Club — A landmark band for me, Culture Club was my entry into 80s pop which would evolve into developing my adoration for the New Romantics, 80s alternative, and eventually industrial and goth music. Also the second band I ever actively went to see live!

3. IAMX — One of my favorite bands of all time since around 9th grade, over a decade now!! One of the only bands I have a tattoo for. I could fill an entire post (or two, or three, or…) on just my adoration for IAMX alone, but I’ll leave it at that for now.

4. Ministry — Inescapable, isn’t it? Regardless of the eternal love-hate relationship I have with this band there’s no denying the incredibly significant effect they’ve had on my life unfortunately. The first industrial band I got into post-Skinny Puppy.

5. The Velvet Underground — TVU (along with TBP, below) was arguably the band that got me into music. Period. I’ll never forget hearing “Venus In Furs” and “The Black Angel’s Death Song” for the first time and just thinking it was like nothing else I’d ever heard before. It was everything to me as a teen.

6. Severed Heads — Another one of my favorites to this day, though I’ve had obsessive periods in phases. They kinda baffle and excite me like literally no other band. Like a puzzle I’m always trying to solve. Love love love them.

7. The Birthday Party — Ditto with TVU. “Mutiny In Heaven” shaped me into the music lover I am today, it gave me a taste for something that was like nothing I’d ever heard before and “like nothing else” has been a significant staple of the most evocative songs/bands for me ever since.

8. Joy Division — Community college circa 2017 I had Joy Division on constant rotation, they really got me through it lol. One of the first GOTH bands that I dove really deep into. I was already listening to goth music at that point but at that point in time Joy Division really resonated. I wore my Unknown Pleasures shirt everywhere seconds before it was cool. I still voted for The Cure on the recent “best goth band” poll tho LMAO.

9. Magazine — A more recent addition, Magazine fucking saved my life when I got COVID in 2021 and subsequent relatively severe psychotic symptoms shortly after. Literally just spent every quiet moment listening to ‘em to fight off some of the worst thought patterns I’ve ever had in my life, for months.

10. Steam Powered Giraffe — My middle school heartthrobs 🖤🖤🖤 A bit dated now but man, SPG was everythinggggg to me for a short moment and I think this secret part of my past explains some of my music taste to this day tbh lol 😭 They were thee FIRST band I ever actively saw live, and the most significant connection is that Bunny Bennett’s coming out was genuinely the thing that spurred me to soul search and realize I was trans within the same year :’)

What are yours??

[heartshaped-lou]

the past few days have been so wholesome. i will always be fond and emotional when thinking of the sweet girl who stopped me outside of the venue to ask me if i wanted a friendship bracelet even if i didnt have anything to swap it with, and her friend who gave me a rainbow heart sticker to put on my shirt! the two artists (@/mBartworks and @/_.watercolor_sugar._ on ig, check them out!) who gave us the cutest little artworks they had printed out and took a pic of me and my friends in front of the venue. and the person who was standing next to me in turin, saw me crying during hoth and asked me if they could hug me. the other girl that was standing next to me in turin who got emotional for every. single. song and who in turn made ME emotional for every single song cause apparently people crying make me cry. then gaia and valentina, the two girls i met while getting inside the venue in turin who we stayed with for the whole show, who i held as if we'd been friends for years (it surely felt like it!) while they got emotional during copy: we screamed lyrics at each other, danced together, held hands, swapped our phone numbers so that we could stay in contact and meet up for other shows in the future, ran around the venue together to try and catch louis at the end of the show. the group of young girls who were sitting next to us on the grass outside the venue before the show who entertained us and made us laugh so genuinely. the couple of parents who stayed in the back of the standing area in bologna and who looked amused but fond at the weirdos doing a conga line during all this time. alessandra, the girl who was squished behind me while we were waiting post show for louis to come greet us in bologna, who gave me her number so i could send her the pics: she was sure she wouldn't come up in any pic cause she was a bit behind and - hours later, after realizing she actually was in the pic with louis (because he is the selfie master, kudos to you king) - sent me a selfie of herself crying, captioned "IM IN IT TOO😭", and reduced my heart to shambles and made me break down while sitting on the ground at 1 am outside the venue. to the merch-clad louies who were on our same 7 am flixbus from turin to bologna who i shared sleepy but excited looks with. my friend with big incredulous teary heart eyes while looking around at the yellow lights during angels fly. my other friend who started crying as soon as bigger than me started playing in bologna. and really, i could stay here for hours talking about how endearing it was when anyone - literally anyone! - looked at you, smiled and told you "have a good show!!!" but i should probably stop cause this has gotten long enough. i am left with incredible memories, pics, a bracelet, and a heartache that i - for once - will proudly wear like a crown. begging time to not heal this one cause i wanna remember these feelings forever. to say it in his words: infinitely grateful for what we created! thanks louis but most of all thanks louies <3

[calamitydaze]

im nosy please elaborate hehe (esp on the snf stuff eyes emoji)

you got it 🫡 warning in advance for banter + snf crit but this is all from the perspective of a fan i’m not hating just to hate. and under the cut cause this is everything i’ve been holding in it’s Long

imo the problems with banter boil down to 1) a lack of direction, and 2) that it honestly seems like nobody but karl even gives a shit about it. it doesn’t even need to be a particularly inspired idea to work, just coasting off their dynamic would be fine (i don’t think karl/sap/george is a great combo for this format but that’s not to say it can’t ever work, i’ve enjoyed them in past episodes) but they still need to go into sessions with like…. an idea of what to do. it’s evident in both individual episodes— losing track of the topic ten minutes in, aimless conversations, starting and stopping stories, etc— and the podcast as a whole— celebrity guests seem picked at random with minimal research done, their chris episode that had a chance of being topical didn’t come out until after the general public lost interest, and doing THREE reboots because they keep losing steam after putting out two episodes is just ridiculous (though they’ve been better about that recently, credit where it’s due). their new set actually looks great, i like it a lot, but it doesn’t make their fundamental problems better. and all that would be more excusable if i got the sense that banter was really a passion project for them, but like i said yesterday i just…. don’t think that it is 😭 i do feel like karl genuinely wants to make it work and tries hard. but snf seem like they just said yes because it’s easy for them and they’ve got literally nothing else going on, and at least imo it shows

three guys in their twenties making a mid podcast isn’t the worst thing in the world (in fact it’s healthy for them. enriches their environment) but the reason everyone is so bitter towards it is because it’s ALL we get these days, save for a stream for two every couple weeks. it’s true that banter doesn’t Actually stop them from doing anything else, if they wanted to make content they would make it, but when we hear that group streams have been canceled and snf fly to north carolina a day later that’s still what it feels like! and, maybe most maddeningly, they seem to be under the impression that most of their audience Likes the podcast?? that’s the only explanation i can think of for the hubris of booking a big venue in a low-traffic state just before vidcon with no guests but austin ever announced and the most half assed promotion i’ve ever seen (see my point about not caring). i don’t like them blaming the venue for the cancellation either, i call bs on them being “difficult to work with” and it was almost certainly because of low ticket sales. like honestly, genuinely, did none of you see this coming? it’s incredibly out of touch and even though i like all three of them i can’t help but feel bitter thinking about how the only content we can expect from content creators is something they don’t seem passionate about yet continue to ignore that their audience very resoundingly Does Not Want It

and that brings me to snf’s careers right now as a whole. i don’t have as much to say as i did yesterday cause this anon summed it up so well but it really feels like between dream not micromanaging them anymore, minecraft content in general getting lower views and more creatively burned out, and not being separately stuck inside forced to do Something to stave off the boredom, they just don’t know what to do anymore, so they do nothing (or make seven-minute mr beast videos). dream isn’t the content machine he used to be either but at least with his projects like usmp (🕊) and drusic i can feel like he’s busy with projects he loves and there will be something tangible for me in the future, so i’m more willing to wait and see. and using tommy as another example, he’s done a great job branching out into other avenues and preserving his audience when what he was doing got tired. there’s no reason snf Can’t, they just haven’t. and when i hear about things like them scolding dream for promising us things i’m like ?!? fair i guess, i’d rather not expect anything and not be disappointed, but it’s only not happening because you guys aren’t making it happen. are you really SO busy that you can’t carve out three hours in an afternoon to cook something on stream? (in fairness that could be said about all three) or do you just not want to, and expect your audience to stick around indefinitely like it’s 2020?

and this discussion has been had on tumblr already of course and to be honest i’ve never really agreed with the consensus that it’s entitled to want content from content creators, but just to cover my ass a bit LMAO: this doesn’t bother me day to day, i have life to keep me busy so i just watch something when it interests me and don’t when it doesn’t. i love that dteam seem like friends first and business partners second and i would rather preserve that than grind content! but all the same i don’t think it’s wrong as fans to be critical of what people we like are (or aren’t) putting out but as always yk feel free to chime in with agreements or disagreements or whatever i am a greek forum for minecraft youtubers

[neowinestainedress]

well hello rebs! it’s been a month since the concert and i’m finally here I’m sorry for disappearing but i got sick for two weeks (a little tmi that i shouldn’t be admitting on the internet but i couldn’t ask for a day off to go to the concert so i pretended to be sick and i got a doctor’s certificate for sick leave and i played the role so well that the doctor gave me 2 weeks 😭 and it was so great cause i went to santiago with my friend two days before the concert and we stayed for like 4 or 5 days in total so it was great, it was like a mini vacation i loved it!! but after i went back to my city my throat started to hurt and then i got sick for almost two weeks and then national independence holidays came which lasted for a week and then i had to go back to work and omg i had SO much shit to do and i think i’m finally adjusting 100% back again but it’s been kinda difficult cause my boss assigned me (and to the team actually) new tasks so i have even more work now….) but yeah now to my actual concert experience!!

- i gave freebies (i made 80? friendship bracelets but like with double strings and different designs 😭) so the night before me and my friend had to pack them + shower and do our skincare and etc… we ended up sleeping only (for less than) 2 hours

- since we had soundcheck we arrived at like 8:45 am? but it was actually kinda late so we got number 567 or smt like that….. and they let us enter the park (where the venue is) at 14:30 and i was already so tired and hungry

- at 17:00 we entered the actual venue and i got second row (i know it’s a really good position but i was hoping barricade again this time 😭☹️) but the girl in front of me smelled SO SO SO BAD. her armpits smell was so strong that at one point i was about to throw up and i even started questioning if i was the smelly one cause even when i turned around i could feel her smell super strong so that kinda ruined a little bit the concert for me and also she was super tall so she was also covering my vision at some points so yeah….

- and at 17:30 6dream came out and OMFGGGGG like haechan you will ALWAYS be MY man. he was the first one to come out and went directly to my side (thank god cause i’ve seen videos from other countries and at soundcheck he always stays at the other side) and not to be delusional but when he first came out i have a video of him looking at me hehehe

- sadly they spent almost the whole soundcheck at the extended stage so i didn’t see them up close that much but i remember 2 parts the most: them talking about chile and how much they enjoyed the food the wine and the andes mountain range(? and when jeno came to our side like he was literally in front of us and everyone was filming him but haechan was on the extended stage looking at our side and i was the only one recording/looking at him it was such a y/n moment 😭

- then the soundcheck ended so i went to the bathroom and when i came back the general ticket holders? arrived and omfggg they were so wild and it was such a different experience from tds2. everyone was pushing and super close so i kinda started panicking and i started screaming that they should move a little bit to the back to give us more space cause i swear i was standing on my tippy toes cause there wasn’t any space left to stand. i couldn’t sit at any moment so between that + the smelly girl + my feet hurting i wasn’t feeling so well tbh…

- but FINALLY at 9 pm the concert started and all my problems disappeared but also the heat omg it was sooo bad i felt like i was sweating so much but thank god no one pushed me or anything

- they sang sooo good especially chenle like his voice is incredible and i had so much fun i screamed and laughed and danced and i just love them so much 😭😭😭😭

- and okay about the interactions i don’t think i had that many this time but the ones i’m sure i had are 2: mark looked at me a lot of times (i have pictures/videos) AND i had a sign telling haechan i had a gift for him (the shinchan as michael jackson keychain i bought last year for him) and he said 👍 (that i could throw it to him) but i wasn’t sure back then if he said it to me cause i had my phone the sign and since he was in front of us everyone was moving and screaming but the girl beside me told me HE TOTALLY LOOKED AT YOU AND TOLD YOU YES TO THROW IT but i got scared i might hit him so i waited until they went to the extended stage but i threw it with too much strength so it went too far back so he didn’t see it later 😭 but at least i got the keychain back so tds4 i guess???

- after the concert my feet hurt SO SO FUCKING MUCH like each step i took was so painful worst pain from a concert ever (i think it was worse than the one from the eras tour) and i was so tired i just wanted to sleep but i was also super happy

- i reunited with 4 more friends after the concert so i was even more happy !!!

- days later i sent my videos to one friend who wasn’t close to the stage and she asked me what are you and mark cause he totally looked at you so much (his bias is mark also) so yeahhh feeling totally normal about it 😁☝🏼

- not related to the actual concert but my friend (the one i went to the concert with) had a friend (who lives in santiago) and the day before we were supposed to go eat with her and more friends but she was waiting for us at the subway and when we arrived she only greeted my friend and completely ignored me (we were meeting for the first time) and then left. and it was really annoying and awkward and we saw her at the concert too and she did the same but i didn’t even try to acknowledge her presence then cause she was fucking rude and manipulative with my friend i really hated her a total bitch

and now about the members….. to be honest, i actually don’t remember much 😭 but

- mark had little braids on his hair (which i HATE and sadly i’ve seen him twice with braids he hates me sm) but his face is more long and his cheekbones and smile❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹 he went to my side a lot and we’re actually dating now 😁

- jeno is still super skinny but his arms?????? so pale and also super sweet. he interacted a lot with our side and was always smiling and doing kyuu and sending kisses to us

- haechan omfg that man…. i just need ONE chance with him…. his lips are so plump, he has round eyes and a little nose and his cheekbones are so high he seriously is so much prettier in person the camera doesn’t do him justice i’m in love with him. but also i want to add (i don’t remember if i said this last time) but to be honest, at tds2 i want to think he was tired but he was more dry? and not that playful or cheerful as i was used to seeing him. he was more serious and didn’t interact much with the public (he picked up my gift but still, his attitude was different) but this time he was like the haechan i always see in videos from other concerts. we have a chant that is “mijito rico” which basically translates to “sexy guy/girl” and we ALWAYS sing it to every artist so this time wasn’t the exception and we sang it twice i think? and he danced to it both times and you could totally see how happy he was unlike the last concert that he looked kinda annoyed?? (idk 😭) so i was really happy and relieved to see that he actually enjoyed this time cause his attitude last year kinda bummed me a little (you could ask about this topic to any chilean fan and they would say the same, he really behaved very different last year). and please don’t misunderstand, i don’t want to sound ungrateful because i enjoyed tds2 very much but i wanted to point that out cause when i noticed that i tried to convince myself that i was wrong and ignore it but after this year’s concert i’m sure he acted different this time

- jaemin is just the sweetest human ever i just remember looking at him and he was always smiling 🫂 and for example i was looking at my videos of broken melodies and rains in heaven and he had the BIGGEST smile ever my cutie pie ❤️‍🩹 but i also had him in front of me in poison so yeah much to think about. and before the encore we did a chilean chant (it goes c h i CHI l e LE CHI CHI CHI LE LE LE VIVA CHILE) and he liked it so when he did his last ment he did it and it was so cute and funny. also his upper body is super big (boobs and arms).

- chenle !! i think everyone became a chenle stan. something in him shifted and he is so fine i mean he always has been but he has a different aura now. his voice is really good and stable and he is such a cat. he was the member who spent more time at my side i think and we made eye contact too cause he read my haechan sign hahah he smiled and interacted a lot (my friend is chenle biased)

- jisung, i will eat him. HE’S SO $-&;$2!2& soooo hot and so shy i want him. he didn’t go much to my side but he was always shy laughing and being super cute ❤️‍🩹 and he ofc dances well but he doesn’t look much taller than the other members tbh

and i think that’s basically all so to end things i came to three conclusions:

it was such a fun show and i really am the happiest at concerts but it couldn’t top tds2 for me at least. the tds2 will always be their best tour (at the moment) for 4 main reasons: we had 7dream, the setlist was their best so far cause they sang the best song in the world aka to my first (no one gets that song like ME), it was the first dream (solo) concert in chile and also the first time of haechan and 7dream here (😭😭😭😭), and i got first row but i also got noticed by haechan ❤️‍🩹

the haechan tunnel vision is craaaaazy i swear i tried to also focus on other members but i failed i couldn’t stop looking at him he’s really super captivating and i’m just a girl. the way he dances and moves through the stage he seriously is an amazing performer and singer. i’d do crazy things for him.

i LOVE my sweet dreamies i’d die for them

so yeaahh, that was my tds3 experience… i wanted to buy merch but i couldn’t so i’ll try to send my cousin to buy me merch in copenhague

now tell me how you been rebs 🩷 and please ignore any mistakes i’m as always writing this at 2 am

have an amazing week<3

- 💌

Hiii! I’m sorry if it took me so long to reply but I’ve been busy and I didn’t want to rush the reply. This was karma telling you to never pull this move again ajsojlks I can’t even say “well at least you didn’t work for almost a month” because you came back to do even more 😭 But hey you had a great time at least!

- i gave freebies (i made 80? friendship bracelets but like with double strings and different designs 😭) so the night before me and my friend had to pack them + shower and do our skincare and etc… we ended up sleeping only (for less than) 2 hours

omg that’s so cute!!! I miss making friendship bracelets, I wanted to make some for a concert I was supposed to see but thank god I didn’t have time because the whole tour got cancelled so I would’ve wasted beads and time lmao (I still have so many beads for taylor, I hope that for the next tour we will keep doing this because I don’t know what to do with them lmao)

- since we had soundcheck we arrived at like 8:45 am? but it was actually kinda late so we got number 567 or smt like that….. and they let us enter the park (where the venue is) at 14:30 and i was already so tired and hungry - at 17:00 we entered the actual venue and i got second row (i know it’s a really good position but i was hoping barricade again this time 😭☹️) but the girl in front of me smelled SO SO SO BAD. her armpits smell was so strong that at one point i was about to throw up and i even started questioning if i was the smelly one cause even when i turned around i could feel her smell super strong so that kinda ruined a little bit the concert for me and also she was super tall so she was also covering my vision at some points so yeah….

okay but second row is such a good position especially since you didn’t arrive super early. I feel you, for taylor I had to be there at 12:00 (before to get in line, but they opened at 14:00 when the concert started at 21 I wanted to die, I literally only survived because I started talking with two girls in line and then we became a small group). Noooo that’s one of my biggest nightmares, not you starting to question if it was you aodoss but lmao that’s what I fear the most in crowded spaces, it doesn’t matter how clean I am I always start thinking that the water didn’t do anything and the perfume just vanished and I smell like shit (also let’s be honest, it’s not so easy to know where the smell comes from so even if it’s not me I’m always afraid people might think it’s me 😭) tall people should be banned from the standing sessions I said what I said!!!

- and at 17:30 6dream came out and OMFGGGGG like haechan you will ALWAYS be MY man. he was the first one to come out and went directly to my side (thank god cause i’ve seen videos from other countries and at soundcheck he always stays at the other side) and not to be delusional but when he first came out i have a video of him looking at me hehehe

not you studying where they go lmao but could you choose or were you on that side because of the tickets you had?

- sadly they spent almost the whole soundcheck at the extended stage so i didn’t see them up close that much but i remember 2 parts the most: them talking about chile and how much they enjoyed the food the wine and the andes mountain range(? and when jeno came to our side like he was literally in front of us and everyone was filming him but haechan was on the extended stage looking at our side and i was the only one recording/looking at him it was such a y/n moment 😭

how does the soundcheck work? Did they try all the songs? Or was it mostly talking? I’m sorry if it’s stupid but I don’t know anything about this tour because I was/am so mad I couldn’t go I didn’t watch anything lmao. NOT YOU AND HAECHAN LOST IN YOUR OWN WORLD I LOVE YOUUUU

- then the soundcheck ended so i went to the bathroom and when i came back the general ticket holders? arrived and omfggg they were so wild and it was such a different experience from tds2. everyone was pushing and super close so i kinda started panicking and i started screaming that they should move a little bit to the back to give us more space cause i swear i was standing on my tippy toes cause there wasn’t any space left to stand. i couldn’t sit at any moment so between that + the smelly girl + my feet hurting i wasn’t feeling so well tbh… - but FINALLY at 9 pm the concert started and all my problems disappeared but also the heat omg it was sooo bad i felt like i was sweating so much but thank god no one pushed me or anything

the only thing I will ever be jealous of the usa is the sitting floor because standing floor is HELL I don’t care I’m used to it, it’s just hell every time and people have no boundaries. When I saw taylor I sat almost all day but then people started getting up before paramore and if you sat down you felt like suffocating (it was summer, in milan where it’s humid af, the sun hit the stage until the speak now set lmaooo I was frying) like there are already two hours to wait WHY ARE YOU STANDING??? the same thing happened with 127, one person RIPPED the signed ball from my hand I was shocked, like… is it really that serious?

- they sang sooo good especially chenle like his voice is incredible and i had so much fun i screamed and laughed and danced and i just love them so much 😭😭😭😭 - and okay about the interactions i don’t think i had that many this time but the ones i’m sure i had are 2: mark looked at me a lot of times (i have pictures/videos) AND i had a sign telling haechan i had a gift for him (the shinchan as michael jackson keychain i bought last year for him) and he said 👍 (that i could throw it to him) but i wasn’t sure back then if he said it to me cause i had my phone the sign and since he was in front of us everyone was moving and screaming but the girl beside me told me HE TOTALLY LOOKED AT YOU AND TOLD YOU YES TO THROW IT but i got scared i might hit him so i waited until they went to the extended stage but i threw it with too much strength so it went too far back so he didn’t see it later 😭 but at least i got the keychain back so tds4 i guess???

GIRL OMG AHSOOSO HOW ARE YOU ALIVE???? WAIT HOW DID YOU GET IT BACK OMG??? I fear this keychain doesn’t want to leave you

- after the concert my feet hurt SO SO FUCKING MUCH like each step i took was so painful worst pain from a concert ever (i think it was worse than the one from the eras tour) and i was so tired i just wanted to sleep but i was also super happy

I can imagine if you didn’t sit for hours straight omg 😭😭 (we talked about the eras tour, right? Didn’t we both get out of the woods as a surprise song or am I making it up? 😭😭)

- i reunited with 4 more friends after the concert so i was even more happy !!!

meeting with friends after or before concert is the best part, having someone who understands to talk about what happened is the best way to actually realize it was all real

- days later i sent my videos to one friend who wasn’t close to the stage and she asked me what are you and mark cause he totally looked at you so much (his bias is mark also) so yeahhh feeling totally normal about it 😁☝🏼

I didn’t see the videos but I agree with your friend (let's hope haechan doesn't mind you cheating on him)

- not related to the actual concert but my friend (the one i went to the concert with) had a friend (who lives in santiago) and the day before we were supposed to go eat with her and more friends but she was waiting for us at the subway and when we arrived she only greeted my friend and completely ignored me (we were meeting for the first time) and then left. and it was really annoying and awkward and we saw her at the concert too and she did the same but i didn’t even try to acknowledge her presence then cause she was fucking rude and manipulative with my friend i really hated her a total bitch

omg? And your friend didn’t say or do anything? I don’t understand people sometime because one thing was if she tried to get to know you and releazied she didn’t like you, but she didn’t even try??? Dind’t even say hello??? Rude as fuck for no reason at all??? Maybe she was jealous of you and your friend?

and now about the members….. to be honest, i actually don’t remember much 😭 but - mark (...)

WDYM YOU HATE THE BRAIDS??? I LOVE THEM ON HIM

- jeno (...)

he’s baby

- haechan (..)

the difference in the length between him and the others is SENDING ME LMAO you don’t even try to hide it (as you should) the way EVERYONE say he’s even prettier irl kills me omg how can it be possible. “mijito rico” in chile 🤝🏽 “sei bellissima/o” in italy. maybe he was more tired back then? Tbh idk because I even if I surely saw videos of tds2 I don’t remember anything lmao but if all you felt it I’m sure it was like this

- jaemin (...)

how did you survive omg. That’s so cute omg NOT THE BOOBS AND ARMS LMAO

- chenle (...)

from the videos I have the feeling he has an amazing stage presence and it’s super underrated tbh but I wouldn’t know.

- jisung (...)

babyyyy ☹

and i think that’s basically all so to end things i came to three conclusions:

it was such a fun show and i really am the happiest at concerts but it couldn’t top tds2 for me at least. the tds2 will always be their best tour (at the moment) for 4 main reasons: we had 7dream, the setlist was their best so far cause they sang the best song in the world aka to my first (no one gets that song like ME), it was the first dream (solo) concert in chile and also the first time of haechan and 7dream here (😭😭😭😭), and i got first row but i also got noticed by haechan ❤️‍🩹

the haechan tunnel vision is craaaaazy i swear i tried to also focus on other members but i failed i couldn’t stop looking at him he’s really super captivating and i’m just a girl. the way he dances and moves through the stage he seriously is an amazing performer and singer. i’d do crazy things for him.

i LOVE my sweet dreamies i’d die for them

I’m so happy it was a great experience and you had fun!!! let's hope next time they will come back as 7 once again

so yeaahh, that was my tds3 experience… i wanted to buy merch but i couldn’t so i’ll try to send my cousin to buy me merch in copenhague

what merch will you get?

now tell me how you been rebs 🩷 and please ignore any mistakes i’m as always writing this at 2 am

I have nothing to say really lmao. I’ve been busy because I took photos for an exhibition I will have in November and I’m super happy with how they came out. I was supposed to see one of my favorite singers yesterday but then she postponed the concert to November and then yesterday she cancelled the whole tour so I’m a bit sad about it cause I have been looking forward to it since February. And also since I was already seeing her I decided not to see another singer I like but I couldn’t even get tickets last minute for him because the last cities left were in these days and not close to where I live so I wouldn’t have time to organize a trip rip.

Once again I’m sorry if it took me so long, have a great weekend!!! Love you!!!

Hey

Thankyou so much for giving me a chance to participate in your new game. So for the exchange I would go non tarot exchange, as I don't do tarot. Here is the moodboard for you Alexa based on your mentioned personality. I channeled intuitively with a clear, hope it resonates.

Also I would like to add a note, when I channeled your fs, I don't the first thing that came to me was that he was someone who is fun at the same time someone who has filled with love. To him, you are the most important person in his life. He is very possessive about you and he always wants to keep you happy. If you are sick, he will always be there by your side. For him, you are his everything. With him, you will have a fun filled journey as he is someone who is chill. He is flow with life person. He is stable enough, he wouldn't mind you be at home. He is simple yet rich in heart. He loves hanging out with people, he is people person . He will take you on dates and picnics. Also, i got this really hard, that he is very romantic. Overall, I loved the energy of you two. Anyways, I wish you the best, dear. I really hope it resonates because I am still learning, so please give me feedback so I can improve.

Now my side, my name is cheril. My sun is in gemini and my venus is also in gemini and in sideral my sun is in taurus and my venus in Taurus. I prefer male.The personality trait that I admire in my fs is someone who is kindhearted, empathetic, loyal, committed. I want someone who put their ego and pride aside, act based on feelings and povs. I would love they have balance in all the factors of life. I also love my partner to be open and vice versa.

Thankyou so much for the opportunity. I hope you like your reading. Have a good day ahead.🧡

Thank you so much for the moodboard Cheril🤩💗 I love the aesthetics and the vibes.

I love the intuitive messages you provided me about my fs. He seems like a really nice guy. And I think your intuition is incredible.

Also from your vibes, you sound more like a Sun and Venus in taurus person💗 and not a gemini 😭 Sidereal is more accurate in my honest opinion. I have my Sun and Venus in taurus too🥰

So your fs is very interesting. He is someone who has had an awakening, a significant transformation has led them to their true north. They have found some purpose. They could have a significant mission in this life or they are simply very dedicated to living a purposeful life. They hold wisdom but at the same time they have a young heart. They are very good at walking away from things that no longer serve them. I think your fs constantly looks for fulfillment through finding purpose in life. They are always on the lookout to find a calling, something that gives them purpose. He is someone who has done soul searching and decided that they wanna do this thing in their life. Your fs gives of sagittarian vibes. They are inspired by things they are passionate about and they are ready to tread the path towards fulfillment. I feel like he has a specific life goal, maybe a specific career or mission that they are passionate about and they've only recently found that. So they've walked away from situations that held them back and being more true and authentic to themselves. I pulled another card and I think he has found whatever fulfills his soul. He has achieved significant emotional stability. He has a lot of abundance and has reached full emotional fulfillment. They either can be rich and well recognized or they are deeply content with themselves, who they are as a person. Very satisfied about life. I think he is also a family man. He can be very supportive of his loved ones.

Your relationship dynamic is intense and passionate😭 Almost wild and really fun. I think you'll travel a lot together. You could even move countries. There's a lot of moving places energy so travel can be a major theme in your married life. Also you have plans for the future and constantly work towards making the relationship even better. You could go on holidays often too. You will always be on the lookout for new opportunities and grab them as soon as they are presented to you. There can be significant expansion and growth in this relationship. Jupiter and sagittarius energy is pretty strong here. You will grow together as a couple. You will also have burning passion brewing and boldly pursue each other in the relationship. Flirty conversations and tempting each other is also possible.

Your feel like your fs is highly skilled and charismatic. In your eyes he's the most gorgeous, hottest and confident man alive. You feel inspired by him. You know you can create a good life with him, you know he's very capable of fulfilling your desires and needs.

Your fs can struggle with expressing their feelings sometimes. He may have fears and insecurities and he can feel weighed down because of them. He can keep to himself. Or he can feel burdened because you hide certain things from him or at least he feels so. I don't know exactly what it is, but it's not a big issue because your relationship dynamic is already so healthy and good.

Bale and Wilson can be significant names. Also orange color. I thought of powdery love, I don't know if that's even a real word😭😂 Feel free to dismiss these msgs if they don't resonate with you.

[born-to-lose]

Heyyy I have a question because you're the person I know with the most iconic concert experiences,,, how do you even get to meet those musicians without VIP packages and how do you handle meeting musicians you're attracted to/how do you stop yourself from getting attached and yearning for them in case you stay in contact?

I think if I met some of those band guys and thought they're hot, I'd forget how to speak or let something embarrassing slip 😭😭

Alright, get ready for the ultimate guide to meeting musicians at (small venue) concerts!

Regarding meeting them without a VIP package, I must say I'm incredibly lucky with my go-to venue because it's a very 80s Sunset Strip coded rock bar which books a lot of iconic (mostly glam) bands and many of them don't even offer VIP tickets (since I started going there, only two artists sold those and I bought neither). Most bands stay for at least some of the afterparty and before the show or between sets, you often see them outside the venue or running around in the corridor, so you may bump into them on the way to the bathroom because they're next to the backstage door (has happened to me several times), though in the latter case that's a brief interaction which could still be a basis for a chat later on.

My secrets are basically buying merch and approaching the musicians after the gig (they're usually standing outside, in the corridor or by the merch table) to ask if they could sign my stuff and then I just chat a little bit and follow wherever the conversation is going. You could even ask for a hug or they may hug you first. Either randomly as a thank you or when you say goodbye, whatever feels best for you.

That's also a good moment to ask for a photo, but frankly I forgot to ask at least four times (they only live in my memory). On this occasion, they often put an arm around you or even pull you closer and if they do that, you should pull them closer too and you can start flirting! Sometimes you just have to be bold and sort of match their way of talking, for example if they're a bit cheeky and flirty, play along and it should work. Having an alcoholic drink or two beforehand may also help if you drink, or you can have shots with them as you're talking as an enhancer. If you don't drink, you need to remind yourself you probably won't see them again after tonight and you need to take this chance to have a little chat without real consequences (I personally do both).

I try to get a spot in the front every time because it's easier for them to notice you during the show and hold the microphone in your face for a line, give you fist bumps, a sip of their drink, set lists, picks, drumsticks etc. If they don't voluntarily throw those into the crowd, you often need to ask when they're about to leave the stage because a lot of them forget the set lists, especially if they only have one or two and not a full stack ready in case people ask for them. But don't be pushy if they don't want to sacrifice their expensive drumsticks, there will be other gigs. Also, I pray you don't have aggressive girls beating you up for a drumstick standing near you. I've seen a bunch of them in action and was happy those weren't the times I caught something and had to defend it with my life.

Anyway, some musicians even approach you afterwards when they recognize you or are at least happy to see you coming to them, especially the lesser known bands. Even if you wouldn't have gone out of your way to meet them, you should talk to them a little, they turn out to be more fun that you expected, trust me.

All things considered, I find this a better way to meet musicians than through an official meet & greet because it feels way less forced and like they're only talking to you briefly because you paid them to do that. Plus, you don't have a line of other fans waiting behind you until you're finished and it's just more fun in general to meet them by chance and be able to have longer conversations with more privacy and without spending an extra €100.

The question about handling meeting musicians I'm attracted to is interesting because I'll admit I subconsciously tend to approach the ones I find slightly attractive rather than the unremarkable ones (or at least I used to), unless they're people whose shows I went to admiring them for their work, for example let's say if I'm a fan of Aerosmith but don't think Steven Tyler is hot, I'd still meet him given the chance because of his music.

I think it depends on what their "status" is, like if they're famous, you obviously have to restrain yourself but if they're down to earth and you can talk with them casually, flirting is fine if they go with it. I just recommend testing the waters and if they respond positively, you're free to continue. However, keep it mind you don't have to force a hookup after 10 minutes of flirting and more often than not it stops at kissing, so don't have too high hopes.

Also, if you know in advance that they're taken, be respectful and just have a normal conversation with them. Some will still flirt with you despite being in a relationship, in which case do what you're comfortable with. If you don't know if they're single, do what you want basically. It's not your job to stalk them beforehand to make sure they're single, it's their responsibility to be honest with you, though open relationships exist and their partner may be okay with them flirting with other people, but I'd rather not get into trouble with them.

I have had moments in which I was kind of starstruck (meeting Stevie Rachelle and also Taz Fagerström, but that was because he was the first musician I met) and forgot how to speak for a moment, it happens! You get used to it over time and figure out your line, though there will always be musicians you consider "out of your league" and think you can't start a conversation with them as easily as the Czech underground band with 700 followers on Instagram. In the end, they're people like you and me who really appreciate that people like their music and even like it enough to chat with them because that's absolutely not a given, sometimes I'm genuinely the only one approaching those musicians and it's a bit sad but also means there's more for me.

I actually stayed in contact with a handful of musicians I had met, even if we talk rather sporadically, but rule number one is literally "don't get attached". I recommend not developing romantic feelings unless you actually talk frequently and they're straightforward about it like asking you out on dates and you think it could work out (enough time off the road, living somewhat close with opportunities to meet them regularly etc), if only temporarily. Though even then I would be careful because you're rarely the only one for them, so if you're not fine with your partner cheating (whatever your definition is), a relationship with a musician may not be the best idea.

On this note, you should once again know their relationship status if you plan on pursuing them in any way and please do ask them directly in this case! It's much better than speculating whether they're single or not because they like to lie about that on social media, but if you're lucky, they'll tell you the truth when you ask.

You should also keep in mind they're often out of your league (as harsh as it sounds) so ideally, they'll make the first move as you don't want to seem like a desperate and creepy fan. They also spend a lot of time on the road, rehearsing or in the studio, which decreases your chances of quality time with them. Additionally, they tend to be older than you and at least at my age a too big age gap makes things difficult and many of them prefer people in their own age range (this is why I don't get bitches).

In conclusion, keep it casual and don't take it seriously. Just enjoy the moment without expecting anything to come from it. You'll be a lot less worried about what impression you make and if it could turn into something more if you just go there with the one plan to have fun!

I personally stop myself from getting attached by reminding myself that some things are better enjoyed from afar. Of course I love talking to these musicians, but 1) all of them taken (or the majority, I don't ask if they're not public about it), 2) they live too far away for a realistic hypothetical relationship, 3) they're between 10 and 40 years older than me, 4) if it ends ugly, you may get a diss track written about you and I'd much rather be a muse for the positive songs, 5) having dated a musician could ruin the experience of meeting bands in the future.

Important addition: some musicians are better as a type of buddy, but you should feel what vibe you'd rather have with them when you've talked for a bit. At least if you're out for that from the beginning, you save yourself the heartbreak.

This is shitty so I’m sorry if you don’t like it 😭. I haven’t written for Harry in a minute so pls be nice to me 💀

Where Harry takes his daughter to the Spotify listening party

Singledad!harry

Today was the Spotify listening party for Harry’s House and to say Harry was excited was an understatement. He loved seeing his fans and seeing them listen to his new album that he’s worked so so hard on, but the one thing that he was most excited about was bringing his little love hazel. Harry could tell that Hazel was just as excited as him.

It was about 9 in the morning when Harry had woken up. He knew there was a big chance Hazel would already be up (she was an early bird just like her dad). When he walked into the living room just as expected, Hazel was eating Cheerios on the couch watching a cartoon. It always amazed and scared Harry how independent she’s always been.

“Morning daddy!” She said excitedly. She always got so happy seeing Harry in the morning. It was the cutest thing.

“Good morning m’darling, having a good breakfast?” Harry asked, moving her hair out of her face as she nodded. He gave her a soft kiss to the forehead before going to the kitchen to make coffee.

—-

After both Harry and Hazel were ready they both were on their way to the venue. Hazel was dressed in a similar outfit as Harry with cute pigtails. Although Harry was happy for hazel to be there he couldn’t help but feel nervous. He didn’t know how his fans were gonna be with her and overall he just felt protective.

Harry and his team were doing some things before the event started while hazel was looking around the place and pointing out every little cute thing to Harry. He knew she’d love it considering she was the inspiration for the decorations.

When fans started making their way in, Harry kept hazel close to him and made sure she was always in his sight. She had on these big bulky headphones and everytime a song would play she would get overly excited making sure that everyone knew that it was her daddy singing. She was incredibly proud of him and genuinely so happy listening to his music.

“I proud of you daddy” she said, giving him a kiss on the cheek and everyone awed at the two.

“Thank you peach, couldn’t have done this without you” and he truly didn’t think he could have

Your thoughts on the gig and the guys? 👀👀

sooooooooooo the gig was PHENOMENAL i definitely think it doesn't translate in footage/videos how fucking HARD blind channel FUCKS live. even the people who were there for electric callboy seemed to be very impressed and this made me very proud of my boys 🥺

i was in second row (thanks to @sokeakanava and @braindeadfern I'LL NEVER THANK YOU ENOUGH 😭), on Olli and Tommi's side, and there was basically no space between the barricade and the stage so we were EXTREMELY close to them! i experienced the infamous Olli Eye Contact thing™️ and lost my breath for a few seconds. just so you know everything you read about it is true. another Olli thing: during the show a girl asked him for a pick and he didn't have one so he literally went to tommi, asked him for one, and handed it over to her and i swear it was SO CUTE???

i couldn't take my eyes off joel because he's the most handsome man ive ever seen in my life but maybe im biased 🙄 i genuinely thought he was extremely charismatic but every one in the band is!

aleksi is a fucking dream of a man im a bit ☹️ i couldn't see him very well from where i was (i miscalculated the size of the stage 💀). thankfully he moves a lot so it wasn't really a problem 🥰

these three were the ones that struck me the most but it's probably because joel and aleksi are my favorite and olli was right in my face (and extremely attractive 😳). the others were amazing too and their energy is something absolutely incredible. they're just so good!!

fyi one morning left (which i knew nothing about) and electric callboy fucking FUCK as well. the standard electric callboy sets is VERY high and i might go as far as to say this is the BEST line up I've ever seen in a show, even if i didn't know oml. i had the time of my life for the whole 3 hours 30 minutes. seriously

some other little facts: the venue was weird?? because it had this park area around the actual venue and we didn't even get in line until 5.30pm (with doors opening at 6.30); we sat around under these gazebos just chilling and minding our business. A FEW METERS FROM US the bands were just. minding their own business under their own gazebos. look:

those were the gazebos where the bands hung out and on the far left of those, if aleksi had filmed a bit farther you could have seen us. so we basically stayed there all day NEXT TO THE FUCKING BANDS who also had to pass by us every time they had to go to the bus. i didn't really feel like going to talk to them and ask for pics because idk I'm always terrified of bothering people 😅 but some fans who were with us did manage to get pictures and stuff. at some point aleksi put a chair in the middle of nowhere and was just minding his business on his phone and two girls went up to him. i followed the whole scene and they talked a bit, he gave them a picture and an autograph and seemed so so sweet my heart melted guys 😭😭

(actually when i got to the venue (around 2pm) and went up to Eda and Karla, while i was hugging eda she went "look who's behind you" and it was aleksi sitting under the gazebo and i let out a unsettling screech lmao i wasn't expecting to see them)

Joel, Niko and Olli got there later while the others were already there when i arrived. like I'm gonna skip telling you about how I felt when saw joel the first time 😳 i found it funny tho that he'd just posted that story with the Armani Exchange bag after going shopping in Milan and when i see him he has an Armani Exchange t-shirt on 😂

they hung out in that park area after the show as well, but i only saw Joel passing by quickly (and the pictures he shared with fans were taken at that time)

another random thing: santeri changed clothes in the park. with all of us present. like i get it the lack of nudity taboo in Finland and everything but he was literally just standing there in his underwear 😂😂

this is all i can think of rn but I'm still processing the whole experience so i might add to this later 😅❤️

tl;dr they are fucking amazing

[xjoonchildx]

would you mind making a long post sharing your hobipalooza experience with us, starting from when you got to the venue to when you left?

im sorry for asking for this. of course you don’t have to respond to this ask if it’s too much and too bold of me to ask. i apologize in advance

anon, it's not bold at all!

okay, so. i got to the venue pretty early, just after 8:30 AM 😭

there were already long lines, apparently some people had already been camped out, but security kept shooing people back and making them stand across the street. one security guard was shook because he said he'd never seen that many people arrive that early for lolla and when he found out they were all there for the last person to perform for the night, his mind was truly blown 🤣

anyway, i say it was unnecessary for me personally to get there that early because pretty much when i was in the security line i decided that i wasn't going to try for barricade. those poor people baked in the sun for hours and had to try and limit bathroom breaks and somehow get water and food. once i decided to not worry about that, my experience became about 10,000 times better.

i was lucky to have a VIP ticket, so instead my girl S and i decided to camp out there in the shade. we actually had a chance to get massages and even got our hair done while waiting for hobi's set which was great.

cell service was next to impossible, so finding friends who were messaging about their locations became almost impossible. i was able to hook up with another friend, K, but that was almost by chance and it was WELL before hobi's set. people were passing out by mid-afternoon.

i will say that i feel the lolla staff did a good job of trying to locate people in trouble and even went into the crowd to pass out free waters in order to keep people safe. so we all hung back until charlie XCX came on and that's when we started getting closer to hobi's stage.

she was fantastic BTW -- and i know there were a lot of posts criticizing ARMYs for being there so early and blocking out other fans but i saw a lot of her fans pretty close to the stage and all the ARMYs danced and screamed and turned up for the artists who came before him.

after that was kid laroi (who was great) and same thing with him. ARMYs cheered and danced and screamed for him, too. again, more people passing out in the hot sun, but by his set it was coming down a bit so the situation was improving.

the second he got off the stage, the whole crowd started surging forward but for the most part people were respectful. all the ARMYs around us were pretty amazing -- no shitty people in our vicinity and we had a blast hanging out. the energy got a bit hushed for a minute and then chicago's mayor and the founder of lolla came out to say a few words about the festival and to kind of "introduce" hobi -- who they gave more time to, given the size of the crowd he drew.

lights went down and the place went nuts. i think y'all have seen all the video there is to see by now, but it was seriously bananas in there. every ARMY in that place shook the park cheering and singing along. it was freakin' incredible.

then hobi put on the most amazing show and the rest is history.

anyhoo --here's a polaroid we snapped in the crowd. i HATE to smile because my eyes always disappear but i did it anyway.

hope that answers your questions, anon!

PS i'm the shorty behind the tall gorgeous picture taker lmao. also i have never been so sweaty in my entire LIFE 😭 also we’re two days out and i still sound like a 🐸

[icarusfallsforwalls]

Oh NYC Night 2, where do I even begin?

I’ve honestly been pinching myself all day thinking about the fact that not only have I been able to see Louis twice on this tour 😭 but that I got to experience both the high’s too high (NYC N2) and the low’s too low (Atlanta). As @pndnj said to me, I got my redemption show 😭 and omg did it effing redeem 🥲

I’ve already said this, as have countless other people, but Louis & his band are incredible live. Like INCREDIBLE. Louis’ voice? Angelic. Louis’ band? Perfection. Louis' stage presence? Magnetic. Louis' lead guitarist? So hot.

The NYC venue was so pretty! I didn’t take many pictures, but I spent a lot of time looking around at all of the ornate & intricate details.

Not to mention, waiting in line outside of the venue actually faces the Empire State Building, so cool views all around.

For this show I was on the floor in the pit! Something I was actually nervous about and avoided at my first show, but was actually a game changer in NYC?? The pit is the heart of the show. Obviously you can enjoy Louis from everywhere, but you just FEEL every bit of it in the pit and I think Louis pulls from that energy. He had a table set up at the entrance with free water, and an announcement was made before the show started about taking a few steps back to make space and leaving the pit if you weren’t feeling well, so in general it seemed like that situation had improved slightly.

Am I just inserting random pictures? Yes.

For starters (he he) Sun Room is so good live! Their energy is infectious and a great way to warm up the crowd. They also seem so genuinely happy and grateful to have this opportunity and their admiration of Louis is obvious.

Because my mind is a jumble, I’m tired and words are hard for me right now here are a few things:

- Louis coming out to We Made It is iconic and WILL change your life. It is the PERFECT way to start the show. I’ve always always loved that song, but the live performances of it have truly elevated it to new heights and so much of that is due to the drums! @silverfoxlou and I were talking about how much we would love to have a clip of Louis and Steve talking about the conception of that and the process of making it happen.

- Drag Me Down is possibly the loudest and most floor shaking song. Super fun & comes early in the show, so the energy is still very high.

- Don’t Let it Break Your Heart is actually everything to me. It means so much to me and I actually just want to live in the live performance of it. Is it too dramatic to say it healed my soul?

-Two of Us is a gorgeous song in general, sometimes too sad for me to listen to, but gorgeous nonetheless. The live version is so anthemic, so hopeful. 🥲 I have so much respect for Louis for performing this every night. It's a truly beautiful and heartfelt moment every time.

- Always You is a straight up BOP, even more so live with everyone screaming and jumping and dancing. And the guitar on it?? 🤌🏼

- 7 is hot and sexy and sweaty and 💦 SO GOOD

- Fearless is a fucking classic, even more so with the ICONIC guitar solo (marry me Michael 💍)

- Habit is Habit and the crowd loves it

- Copy is SO GOOD live. Even better when the crowd knows the lyrics and screams them with you. Louis FLEXED on this one, you feel it in your bones 🤌🏼

- Defenceless is also SO LOUD. The crowd loves this song too, as they should!!! As SANJU noted earlier, the floor was literally shaking through this one too.

- Beautiful War is beautiful and calming, a welcome little break from the chaos since it seems like a fair amount of the crowd did not know the words. They all held up their torches though!

- Little Black Dress is SO HOT. I’M SORRY. 🥵

- Walls is THE MOMENT. And it’s so special that Louis knows what that line now means to us. Such a special moment between artist and fans. And he not only knows it, but loves it too 🥲

- Only the Brave is absolutely everything you want it to be. Surrounded by love and pride flags and the ultimate feelings of acceptance and support.

- Through The Dark!!! My girl!!! I have to admit I didn’t love it during AFHF but OMG do I love it now. Another very special moment.

- And finally, ladies & gentlemen, gays & they’s, please rise for the bitch that is KMM. Louis is a rockstar, get used to it people. He puts his whole bussy into this song, as does the crowd!

- Also the chicken nugget slkdjflksjd !!! But pls don't throw things at him!!

Overall, the BEST time!! I loved every time he stopped and spoke to the crowd. I just loved hearing his voice. I loved watching him finally have the opportunity to own the stage and put on the show he’s had in him all along. I love to see him happy and smiling and bouncing and glowing and rocking out. I love that he’s finally getting to do this, after so many years of setbacks. I loved looking up to see Oli intently watching Louis and the crowd (yes, I took a picture and yes, he is hot).

It was just the best night. I loved all of it. Tour!Louis is the best Louis 🤌🏼

Nothing shows you have a shit camera like going to a concert does, but here have some pictures ☺️

Woosan Charts & Synastry

Okay first thoughts: omfg sun and moon😭🤝 Wooyoung flirty af tracks. San's stage presence demon tracks. Dont get in a fight with San...but also dont get in a fight with Wooyoung??? They'll both fight until they win so idk how that works😂😂

Basic chart compatibility

Suns: San's Cancer sun is inherently scares off by the changeable nature of sagittarius because he needs stability and security (even more so with his moon♡) Fire and water is an interesting combo that isnt really ideal unless the rest of their chart is more compatible.

Moons: taurus: calm, secure, really stable aura, very loyal and realiable. LOVES comfort, can be slow. Cancer: soft😭 very emotional, sentimental, they cling to things, they really crave security. This pair is genuinely perfect. Sans is the exact security Woo needs and taurus moons are cuddly mfs so it's really sweet. Woo probably goes to him for support a lot or if he's having a hard time cuz he'd really feel like home.

Mercury: well. Scorpio and Leo really dont go well together 😂 they're really strong. But Woo is very curious and loves to learn but mostly to learn how and why things happen and get to the bottom of things. These are the people that will Facebook stalk their exes😂 They really love to know everything, but they tend to keep this info to themselves until it's useful. San could come off as a know-it-all which is when problems could occur. But they tend to speak with authority and win you over with warmth. They really need a creative outlet. But they're both very attached to their ideals which could cause trouble if they differ

Venus: So basically San is a dramatic mf. Leo's love Love. He really wants to feel special and basically need attention. They'll really show off to their crush and have big shows of their affections. Very loyal but can be a bit possessive (every time he glares when Woo flirts with someone makes a lot of sense😂) Wooyoung-big flirt. Libras love equality and theyll do the most to make a relationship work. They can be incredibly charming and idealistic. They love to share everything.

Mars: San is scorpio. Ofc he is. That's the demon stage presence for sure. Anyway so possessive....they like breaking taboos. They want power....yk dom Woo is Cap which is pretty chill/ level headed. Even when mad they keep their cool surface. Very goal oriented. Attracted to someone with experience, and they need loyalty. Personally I think they're really compatible because scorps are loyal af

SAN ( 10th July 1999 )

sun:cancer • moon:taurus • mercury:leo

venus:leo • mars:scorpio

WOOYOUNG ( 26th November 1999 )

sun:sagittarius • moon:cancer • mercury:scorpio •venus:libra • mars:capricorn

Synastry

So synastry is the way the planets in two people's birth charts interact. These create a kind of energetic pull towards each other. Since we dont have their birth times I cant get super in depth.

Moon Conjunct Sun (Cancer): "this is a classic soulmate pairing" 💕 There's a deep understanding of each other. San will be a bit more energetic and active (like how he's always vocally advocated for Woo) while Wooyoung will be more supportive and soft. They really understand the other without having to say a word (my best friend and I have this and it's incredibly comfortable and can look like you're speaking another language to outsiders😂) they know exactly what the other needs as their emotional expressions are the same. Typically the Sun leads while the Moon is soft and stable.

Mars Conjunct Scorpio (Scorpio): Draw to debate and intense conversation. Can turn to arguments tho (and with their mercuries being scorp and leo idk how that would go because they're so intense and dont like losing an argument. But with the sun/moon synastry I think their understanding of each other would let them know it's not malicious or theyd know when theyd crossed a line) But this can also be playful and funny.

Moon Opposition Merc (taur/scorp): Really great conversations. Very easily reveal things to the other and basically pour their heart out. They really confide in the other. But they could also just talk about anything for hours.

Note: Them both having moon aspects is just beautiful. Your moon is like who you are at your core, when there's no one else around it's how you are. So they really just always felt seen by the other. Probably that effortless feeling like you'd known each other your whole lives even though you met yesterday 💖 They really have the deep understanding of the other, as well as effortless communication. It must've just felt so easy from the very start. Yes I am sappy, grab the tissues

Sun Opposition Mars (cancer/cap): HAHA👀☠ "a strong indicator of sexual attraction" so ya.... Anyway attraction from the jump uh💆🏼‍♀️ Okay but this could lead to a power struggle between them. It could be that they need different things at different times, like one needs space while the other is clingy (but let's be real they're both clingy mfs 😂).....very passionate. Anyway it basically means they need good communication to make it work, which I've already shown they have so 🤷🏼‍♀️

[honey-tea-and-cookies]

Hey uh i already sent my big six but forgot about the one fact and ideal date so im sending it again

Sun: cancer

Moon: cancer

Mercury: leo

Venus: gemini

Mars: leo

Jupiter: virgo

For an ideal date i would like to talk to the person so maybe a walk outside or stay at home playing video games. A date where i can talk

And a fact about me is that a love music and writing

Sorry again for sending two asks😭

Hi honey! It's no worries :)

I think you would be most compatible with:

Sun: Virgo

Moon: Gemini

Rising: Cancer

Mercury: Virgo

Venus: Libra

Mars: Sagittarius

Why? I chose Virgo Sun/Mercury because they have the earth to keep you grounded, which you don't really have. Also they are incredibly smart and communicative, which I think your Gemini Venus would really like. I chose Gemini Moon because that would probably be their ideal type of date as well. Also Gemini Moons are quite known for being very into music, so they'd totally jam out with you and stuff. They'd be your best buddy! Your Gemini Venus would also be very attracted to them as a person, and they'd speak your love language well. They'd treat you exactly as you want to be treated. I chose Cancer rising because it would give them a much-needed softness. You would find that they remind you of yourself, or you feel naturally drawn to them. You would probably find them quite pretty (doesn't matter the gender, everyone can be pretty!). I chose Libra Venus because they would dote on you in a way you probably aren't used to, but you crave. They wouldn't be too serious or intense because Libra is still an air sign, but they are very sincere and affectionate. They'd open you up to love and romance A LOT. I chose Sagittarius Mars because I think you would appreciate their blunt honesty. They also have the same motivation levels as you, but would still push you. You would make each other better. They wouldn't blow up in arguments, they wouldn't leave you at all, they wouldn't say stuff they don't mean. Sagittarius is actually a very good communicator, and I think the exact energy you need.

Thank you so much for participating in my game! I'm sorry I didn't get it out until today. Let me know how accurate (or inaccurate) I was. Sending love <3
