R, U and Z from the yandere alphabet for finland please?

Yandere Finland - Ophanim

Ra - Would they stalk you? How closely would you be watched while under their care?

Yes, like a ghost more or less. The thing is, he wants you to know that you are being watched. Timo wants you to become jittery and scared, that you feel his eyes following you. Should you not notice him so fast, then he'll help you along a bit. Furniture will be moved around the place you live and things will go missing only to reappear a few days later. Food would be taken out of your fridge and the bed you made in the morning would be rumpled. 

Terrorising you wouldn't be the primary goal in mind here, even though he is a hunter at heart, so don't worry. All of this would be to get to know you better. People only show their true colours in high stress situations, and this would just be one of many ways of cracking all your barriers open. Also, you would be seeking comfort because of the nerve wrecking experience, and he'd be happy to sooth your worries. If he'd go far enough, maybe you'll feel more comfortable in his living space than your own and end up moving to his place. Aside from that, there would be a novelty in the experience of visiting your home both officially and unofficially. 

When you are permanently with him, then matters would be very different. Home is where the heart lies and he wants your heart to lie with him - so, he'll try to make you as comfortable as possible. Though, he'd still watch you closely, and play it off as being besotten. Reflections would be commonly used to watch you discreetly and he'll set up a lot of motion-triggered cameras in the garden. The excuse would be that he likes to watch wild life. 

Ullr - How would they deal with competition? How do they deal with threats in general?

He'd first check how deep their commitment to you goes - asking subtly or not so subtly how they feel about you. Maybe he'll spirit you away for a week or two, a short holiday, and then inquire again. Limerence is intense, but once contact is broken it doesn't last long, so there is the hope a separation will solve the problem. 

If not, then maybe he just has to demonstrate that you are his. A hand on your waist, his jacket on your shoulders, the two of you going arm in arm down the street - all ways of showing you are his. Timo could even arrange for the competition to stumble upon him showing affection to you, be it simple teasing, giving flowers or outright kissing. 

Should all that not work, then he'll encourage you to break that poor fool's heart. If you are so important to them, then surely they will listen to your work. Of course, accidents can always happen, and people go missing constantly. If a bear or a pack of wolves comes to like the taste of that waste of space, then he is not to blame. 

Zelos - How does their jealousy look like?

Timo can be very direct when it comes to his feelings, and would be fast to confront you when it comes to his jealousy. Due to being aware that his feelings for you are very "intense" and him being territorial by nature, he'll want to make sure that no misunderstandings are afoot before acting on his jealousy. 

Though, displays of his jealousy would start small, like keeping you closer in public and doing what he can to absorb most of your attention. Should the green-eyed monster grow bigger and stronger, then he would start getting passive aggressive. This would worsen the longer he is left to stew in his negative feelings. 

It could culminate in him issuing a test of loyalty. Should you pass, then all is well, for the time being. If not, then maybe you need some time alone to reconsider your choices.

Tales of Symphonia Stray Thoughts #11: Meltokio Sewer/Sybak Again/Gaoracchia Forest

-Zelos: ..."Well, in the end, we're of the same lot, really.

Genis: What do you mean?

Zelos: No one wanted us to be born."

There's so much to be said here. Despite having a hand in every faction, Zelos is clearly apathetic in whoever's the winning side so long as they serve his interests -- enough to even swallow his own prejudices. Cynicism born from four millennia-long theocracies will do that to you.

-Those knights at the gate are real bros.

-“I used these to sneak back home.”

...hmm, but Meltokio's a gated community. Where was he sneaking back from? I know we all use our headcanons to imaigne towns and inns populated across the landscape, but "sex clubs littered across Tethe'alla" is territory I'd rather not traverse.

-Colette stop casting judgement on those snakes. they're snakes. save that tp.

Also listen to those low-quality hissing effects HISSISHSISHSISSHSISHISS

-“…I guess so.” Isn’t a very Presea line.

-“Now I can do this and that without anyone finding out it’s me…”

Sexual harassment! Also another one of those weird vague, low-context lines they don't bother cleaning up for silent dialogue.

-man it sure is convenient how those spider webs keep popping up just in time to help solve the block puzzle huh gang

-sneaking into the mouse holes while you're tiny is a clever gimmick but uh

who's stuffing these weapons into tiny bags and shoving them into mouse holes

-That shot with the group's feet is good. Tales of Symphonia is hardly known for its chorography, but there's some good shots now and then.

-Any digs at Zelloyd aside, Zelos’s queer-coding is pretty, well, evident. You got the pink outfit, Masaya Onosaka's flamboyant performance in the JP version, annnnnd him randomly hugging Lloyd at random intervals (As seen here.)

Combined with all the women hungry for his status and good looks, and you got a classic recipe for repressed homosexuality. Not exactly a wonder that's Symphonia's most popular boy's love pairing.

-Regal’s theme is gooooooooood. Listen to that sax. Damn!

-Love how nonchalant Sebastian is about everything -- guy just doesn't give a fuq his master's wanted. Almost like that's not the first time. (Hmm...)

I channeled this quality for my Colloyd Week 2024 fic to fun results.

-Speaking of queer-coding, “bud” is good localization for “hunny.”

-"You’re pr-pr-pretty." is peak relatable. Poor Genis!

Well, then again, I guess most of us haven't tried to put the moves on victims of Exsphere parasitism.

-This is where the game does this weird habit of pointless gags/scenes with Colette, although her crickking her neck in her sleep's pretty funny.

-Man-made summon spirits…geez don’t tell me they ended with up eldritch FMA abominations lol. "Shee...na..."

-Geez, the half-elves're stuck down there too. There’s a door in the side of the lobby – at least they have beds there, right? Right? Racist bastards.

-“I thought Kuchinawa had talked to you about it, but I guess he didn’t.”

lol don’t tell me he tried to steal the freakin' EC

-Okay wait did he lock the gate at the bridge too lol that’s like the pettiest plan ever. “Yeah this’ll stop them!”

-“Are those decoration things Exspheres?”

how do these things even work. Are they like containers or something. namco pls

-Raine says the EC was a land vehicle but I dunno how that could be anything but a boat. Sheena and Zelos complain about it too but, I dunno, it looks like

-So do wing packs work like hoipoi capsules in Dragon Ball? At any rate, love the Sylvarant teen trio losing their minds over it. Such child-like innocence.

-I've mentioned before how the HD ports remove ellipses, but Presea's "...Professor?" here has the "professor" removed as opposed to said ellipses. Weird.

-The EC music is so purty. Trying to remember why I’d always get stuck here though since the port’s straight ahead LOL

-So you know those optional cutscenes where Kratos's travelling around Tethe'alla to find ingredients for the Eternal Ring? I know I've seen the Ozette one numerous times before, but while the script/descriptions for the others sound familiar, I'm not sure I ever watched them in-game? Hmm.

Anyway, uh, interesting they just had a broken machine from the Ancient War lying around the academy.

-“It seems monsters existed in the prehistoric era too”

yo then why’d you imply cruxis made them

The guy’s second line here references criminals – I could’ve found out more if I talked to him sooner. I'm dying for some lore here, man!

-“Was the warrant put out for you because you were using strange chemicals?”

what

-“Don’t misunderstand me. I’m talking about rune bottles.”

what

-“It’s not a mistake for humans, who are unable to use magic, to pursue magitechnology.”

This guy repeating history aside, they never explicitly mention magic works in the main story, do they? As in, the whole "Kratos and Zelos can only use magic thanks to Aionis" deal. You'd thiiiiiiiiiiiink that'd catch attention sooner.

“If we capture some of the monsters that have reappeared and force them to continuously use magic, we may be able to confirm the effects of pushing the limits of magic-usage”

lady

chill

-Zelos: "Hello, hunny."

Girl: “Hehe, here you go.” GIVES ME EIGHT HUNDRED DOLLARS.

...y'know, as fun as this gag is, I wonder if it's aged well, lol.

-The Gaoracchia Forest opens with...Colette apologizing for being too cheery. Um, okay.

-“Zelos, you are in the way of the pope.”

“Heh, I’ve known that since I was a kid.”

Hmm, how so? I demand to know the history here.

-THE BOXER IRIIIIIIIS

I could discuss Tales of Symphonia's enemy variety, but I know some of you are curious about this particular baddie following my Colloyd Week fic -- as it happens, I never had any particular affinity for them until recently when @frayed-symphony's illustration of all the Gaoracchia Forest monsters was reposted before Colloyd Week.

Somehow, my eyes fell upon the Boxer Iris with its big weepy eyeball and bulbous boppers and I just went, "...you know, that's a really fun enemy design. I gotta use that critter somehow." How that morphed into "non-verbal mugger", I dunno, but it became one of my favorite details. Now I feel kinda bad slicing it up.

Anyway, she's now living happily with Fred in one of those thorn bushes, I'm sure. They'll be back.

-Ugh I swear shining the light on those bushes drives me crazy. Y'all know what I'm talking about? why you gotta come at them from different direction

-Colette’s one-armed strength…is that how angelic senses work? Housework must be a breeze for her -- imagine her just lifting furniture around. There's a fic here!

-Ya’ll, have I ever mentioned how much I love the Recover/Resurrection sound. So heavenly. Mmm.

...Oh yeah, I didn't discuss any of the Presea and Regal stuff, huh? We'll get to that next time. Lots of ground to cover.

[talesofourworlds]

@beyondbinaries liked for a starter!

It seemed that even with massive changes taking place in the world, some things took longer than others to adjust. People and their opinions of half-elves were unlikely to change overnight. Genis had known that even before everyone had set out to unify the worlds. There wasn't a day that went by when he didn't think about things Mithos had said, such as how he had thought there was no place for half-elves in the end. Genis wanted to believe Mithos was wrong about that much. There had to be someplace. They just had to keep working toward making change possible so that, someday, that long standing desire to feel like they belonged would be achieve.

Today was not the day for it, of course. Genis was helping Raine out, trying to make a case for allowing half-elves to take up specific residence in Meltokio, and it had gone about as well as expected. The cities of what once was Tethe'ala were always going to be harder to work with than what was once Sylvarant. Both of the Sage siblings had known that as fact. Still, it didn't make Genis feel any better known that both he and Raine had gotten things thrown at them over it.

Raine was off getting healing supplies. Genis had taken gotten hit on the head with one of the objects that had gotten thrown at them while protecting Raine. A rare moment of reaction time that had allowed him just enough speed to help his sister. She'd scolded him for it, of course, but he hadn't minded in this case. He'd done what he could to protect her.

Maybe things would've worked out better today if Zelos had been helping, Genis thought. Of course, the redhead was out of town for the time being. Something about helping Sheena with something. In any case, he and Raine had been on their own. He adjusted the ice pack Raine and he had made and grimaced a bit. Soon the pain would be eased much more. Much as he hated gels, he didn't have the enthusiasm to cook right then. So gels would have to do.

After a few moments, Genis went back to looking around the part of Meltokio he'd been sitting in. That was when he noticed something. Rather, someone he hadn't seen before. He blinked.

"Excuse me," Genis said, getting to his feet. "I'm sorry, I didn't see you there. Is there... something I can help you with?" Had she specifically been looking at him? Or was Genis just assuming? He hadn't seen Sunny around Meltokio before, and there was something about her.

Was she... like him and Raine?

Agora sei porque escolheu Paris. A arte move você! Estou encaixando as peças do seu quebra-cabeça.

Sempre desenho meu rosto em meus desenhos, é a referência mais fácil que tenho. É verdade, você consegue me imaginar através dos meus desenhos. Mas você já viu uma foto minha, sem saber que é eu. Existe um print, de uma frase “autoral” que reblogou recentemente. Hehe pronto, mistério resolvido!

Não ter os olhos como eu os imaginava não é nenhum problema. Adoraria me perder em seu sorriso assim mesmo.

6 graus? Que delícia! Uma pena estar a uma distância considerável neste momento. Adoraria partilhar desse inverno com você. Em contrapartida, aqui se inicia o verão. Apesar das altas temperaturas durante o dia, a chuva a noite ameniza bastante a sensação de calor.

Aproveitando para responder a sua pergunta, eu tenho PlayStations e Xboxs. Sim, em plural. Os consoles atuais e os antigos. Sobre Nintendo, eu vendi meu Switch pois precisava de dinheiro á época, mas foi uma ótima companhia durante minhas viagens. Meu DS está em seu ultimo suspiro e meu 3DS já não está funcionando há anos também. Adoraria jogar o novo Zelda…

Você disse Lego? Isso é sério? Como pode? Mais uma coincidência!

Bom diazinho… No meu caso, boa tarde. Ao contrário de si, posso afirmar que minhas consolas continuam como novas, acabadas de sair da loja. Sempre tive muito zelo por minhas coisas, apesar que neste natal tive que comprar um joystick novo pro PlayStation… Sobre PlayStation… tenho o baby, do baby pulei pro 3 , o 4 e o 5… Não tive aquele primeiro PlayStation que era maior, o meu era o baby. Não tive o 2… Na época , desejava, todavia, não dava pra comprar, mas quando deu , foi só coleção hahaha… Apesar de estar por dentro do mundo da Sony, Nintendo era o meu ponto fraco, por conta de como disse te anteriormente, Pokémon. O Charizard sempre foi o meu preferido. Sempre fui tão apreciadora de Pokemon, que cheguei a participar e ir para a final em torneios de deck… Sim, só parei de comprar busters e investir meu dinheiro nesse ramo, quando calhou para mim um Charizard raro da primeira edição . Todas as minhas cartas estão até em capas protetoras… Pois bem, tenho os game boy pocket, game boy color, advance, Nintendo 3dsxl, só por causa de Pokémon… Mas, obviamente, jogo o queridinho Mário e a partir do momento que você conhece Zelda, é um caminho sem volta…

Aqui pela Europa, tem algumas lojas próprias de Lego espalhadas… Estive há pouco, numa localizada num shopping na cidade lusitana de Porto. INCRÍVEL! Sim, foi em caixa alta mesmo para expressar o quão espetacular é… Adquiri , obviamente, alguns legos… Legos de Hogwarts… No entanto, lá você também pode montar seus próprios bonequinhos de Lego, monte três e pague o pack de três , que sai por uma bagatela de 10 euros o pack de três bonequinhos montados a seu gosto com cinco acessórios. Sim, acabei por fazer alguns packs de três………

Sobre Draco… Ele me chamou a atenção desde a primeira cena a qual encena… Sempre tive atração pelos personagens mais complexos ou os que ninguém teria por sentirem atração pelo principal… De Hogwarts, meu favorito é o Draco, mas também tenho um queridinho… Cedrico Diggory. Tenho até um amigo que construí uma amizade aqui que ele me chama de Luna por ser sonhadora, por me preocupar com as pessoas, por ter responsabilidade afetiva, e eu o chamo de Cedrico. Mas, ele não gosta do Cedrico, diz que o Cedrico fez só figuração no “cálice de fogo” hahaha…

Amei o expresso de Hogwarts! Não tenho! Já quero! Sinta-se aplaudido!!!!!

Já disse te , sou exatamente como imaginas que eu seja, tirando os olhos claros…

E desculpa, vou te contar um segredinho meu, um defeito na realidade… Sou meio lerda! Desligada em potencial…! Vou ter que voltar alguns reblogues para ver se encontro alguma foto sua…

Um aperto de mãos com luvas.

2?

Fandom end of year asks:

2: favourite fic of the year 

Ok so you're getting a list because I can't pick just one, and I love reccing fics! I should do it more.

Favorite Podfic: @prettybirdy979 's None So Blind read by @read-by-badfinch . This one is easier to pick because I listened to only a few podfics, but I absolutely love this fic and the reading was so good!

Fandom: Daredevil and the Avengers

Warnings: none

Rating: Teen

Relationships: Gen

Tags: Ableist Language, Ableism, Secret Identity, Identity Issues, Canon Disabled Character, Blind Character, Disability, Learning Disabilities, Crossover, Identity Reveal, Deaf Clint Barton, Matt Murdock Needs a Hug, Hurt Matt Murdock, Angst, Hurt/ComfortPodfic, Podfic Length: 3-3.5 Hours, Audio Format: MP3, Audio Format: M4B

Summary:

They say when you assume you make an ass of you and me.

Matt wishes that the Avenger's assumptions about his seeming inability to read the written word did something as benign as making an ass of him and them. Being called illiterate shouldn't hurt, not when he knows he's not, and it's not like he can tell them the truth.

Not that the truth would make much difference. He's just going to have to grin and bear it.

If he can.

First off, it's got great characterization and hurt/comfort, but it goes above and beyond discussing assumptions, judgements, and ableism and it's SO good.

Fandom: Stargate Atlantis

Warnings: none chosen

Summary:

Hindsight is, at best, only 20/20.

The Sonder series by Zelos is a delightful look at the mess Peter's knowing teachers help him clean up post Homecoming. His principal is very very tired of dumb teenage superheroes, especially when they see his insulin and accuse him of doing drugs. 31k

Fandom: Spiderman Tom Holland movies

Warnings: none

Rating: Teen

Relationships: Gen

Summary:

sonder n. the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own—populated with their own ambitions, friends, routines, worries and inherited craziness—an epic story that continues invisibly around you like an anthill sprawling deep underground, with elaborate passageways to thousands of other lives that you’ll never know existed, in which you might appear only once, as an extra sipping coffee in the background, as a blur of traffic passing on the highway, as a lighted window at dusk. —The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows

A series about the aftermath of Homecoming, what it means to support a hero, and the prices you pay for doing just that. Spoilers for Spider-Man: Homecoming. Not Far From Home compliant.

Asking Questions by anonymous is short but packs such a punch. What would life be like if you could shapeshift into the form of your greatest potential, a form that would allow you to escape your physical pain/disabilities, and be unable to live the entirety of your life like that?

“God,” Freddy said, hopping from foot to foot a couple times before leaping a few feet into the air. “You know you’re fucked up when not being in pain is your favourite superpower.”

There's so many great fics I read this year, but I'll stick with these for my favorites because otherwise it's going to devolve into a plethora of PJO angst and there's a good probability I'll just make a separate list for that fandom on my main 🙈

Thank you for asking!

protec, attac from colette ( hehe accidents happen )

Protecc, Attac!! || @hopewritten

SQUEAK

THUMP

The silence around them was deafening for all of two seconds, and then Lloyd heard Zelos in his peripheral fall into chaotic laughter at their fallen opponent. He himself had swung his upper body in a 180 to stare at Colette in bewilderment, turned back to his would-be assailant passed out on the ground, back to Colette, and then back again.

" … pfft, "

Lloyd attempted to stifle his own bubbling amusement by coughing into his fist.

" I-it's really not that, ahem, not that funny Zelos, "

Obviously their third companion thought otherwise. Lloyd's shoulders shook. He coughed into his fist again,

" Nice pow hammer, Colette. But--pfft-- but maybe don't knock them unconscious next time? "

His voice certainly cracked on the end of that suggestion. Clearly he could not be trusted to keep a straight face in that moment. He squatted down, leaving any attempts to compose himself in the air above him. All hail Colette and her mighty pow hammer attack.

It certainly packed a squeak.

📸 Genius Korea: [EVENT REVIEW] BANG YONGGUK Is A Vibe On 2024 U.S. Tour ‘III’ A/N: posted on 240428

BANG YONGGUK’s ‘III’ THE US TOUR 2024 brings the 34-year-old rapper, singer-songwriter, producer, and art director across a span of 11 cities beginning in April 2024. His most recent stop landed in Northern California, under the intimate lowlights of Harlow’s, which holds nearly 500. Performing in Sacramento for the very first time, Yongguk proved to a crowd of buzzing fans why he’s a powerhouse in his industry.

Yongguk served as the leader of the fan-favorite infamous K-Pop group B.A.P for six years into his career. He is no stranger to packed venues and ferociously loyal fans—to the average viewer, he appears a cool and collected veteran who flows through energetic and soul-scratching discography for nearly two hours. But for true fans of Yongguk who know his story, every performance, no matter the space, means far more than a great setlist and screaming crowds.

Yongguk is not your traditional former idol rapper heralding from Korea’s monolithic pop music industry – his beginnings are rooted in Seoul’s underground rap scene, where his early writing bloomed with the hip-hop group Soul Connection. He was later invited to train and join the eventual overseer of B.A.P, TS Entertainment, where he would slowly feature and debut collab singles and duo projects before promoting with all of the members of B.A.P in 2012.

Regarded as one of the earliest K-Pop groups to attempt gritty, authentic concepts with their hard-hitting lyrics and powerful live performances, the group was able to recruit a passionate following for years before lawsuits, hiatuses, and internal mistreatment by their company plagued the group for the remainder of their career. Despite their undeniable talent, and to the dismay of BABYz (B.A.P’s fandom name), Yongguk was the first to leave the company and the group once their contracts had expired in 2018, with each member following suit shortly thereafter.

There’s a reason for the quick history lesson – I promise.

Like so many others, I’ve been a fan of Yongguk and B.A.P since they were actively promoting. I’ve been following his career for years, from Bang&Zelo (look it up, thank me later), to his solo self-titled album and EPs. Hearing and reading about an artist’s journey is not the same as feeling like you walked the path with them, something I know every longtime fan of Yongguk can attest to experiencing. Watching him grow from a reserved, budding rapper into the assured, multi-dimensional accredited artist he is today has been a gift – then you stick him in front of me in my own backyard, fresh off a new vibey six-track project release? It’s a miracle I wasn’t crawling on the ceiling of the bar like Toni Colette in Hereditary.

Yongguk’s roots in the underground rap scene are still evident in his modern artistry and style – on top of the smaller venue space, DJ Babynine has been opening for him on his US tour. His set was a perfect taste for the rest of the evening, mixing crowd favorites from Daddy Yankee’s “Gasolina” to “Water” by Tyla – even throwing in some old-school with Kurtis Blow. It felt like a genuine nod to hip-hop and set the mood for the rest of the show, where Yongguk wasted no time taking the stage and immediately going into a set of older and newer tracks like “OFF,” “Xie Xie,” “Ride or Die,” “IXLU,” “NUMB,” and “RACE.”

The crowd was unstoppable the minute he came out – mind you, this was a room of maybe 100-200 fans. Every song was sung back to him, and every pause to address the crowd was filled instantly with words of affirmation, hollers, and infamous “barking.” Yongguk was caught off guard a couple of times, at one point laughing into the mic and stating: “I love your f*cking energy, Sacramento.” It was a great back and forth as the show progressed, even into slower, more sentimental tracks like “I Remember,” “히키코모리 (HIKIKOMORI),” and “AM 4:44.”

That’s kind of the beauty of Yongguk – his stage presence, coupled with the range of his music, is wildly captivating. He’s towering, a 6'0 handsome man who could still pass for a teenager with his boyish smile, but he opens his mouth, and you’re hit with a husky baritone voice that somehow weaves excellently through his crooning and heavier rapping sections. His lyrics are deeply personal, and you really can’t help but lose yourself in the moment of his music. In fact, “여행 (Journey)” was probably the most silent the room would be all evening – a plucky, bossa nova melancholic track where he explores his sadness feeling lost in life. It’s one of those quiet rarities where the language barrier doesn’t really matter, where everyone can understand as you watch him sing one lone note over and over under a single light, and the rest of the room fades at the edges. As a fan, you already know why you love him, and what, as an artist, he does for you, but experiencing something like that in person confirms why he does this for himself, too.

The second half of the night was a complete vibe switch as he let loose into his most popular hype tracks. Bouncy trap-inspired songs like “UP,” “UFO,” and “BUSS IT DOWN” had the crowd going feral, jumping and bouncing with him as he swayed through hit after hit. Two of his staff members were on stage with him for English translations, and even they were grooving and smiling at fan reactions. I even caught the security guards beside me at one point elbowing each other as bass-destroying head exploder “YAMAZAKI” started, one of them saying: “This is that one you know – it’s dope.”

“MOVIMIENTO” off of his latest EP release is my current hyper fixation, and once it started, I vaguely recall telling the friends I came with “I’m about to go full monkey.” I cannot emphasize enough just how pleasing to the ears this man’s music is, and how there is a little bit of something for everyone in all of his discography. There’s a reason fans ride or die for him, and it was felt in the room when green B.A.P lightsticks and phone flashlights lit up the room for his final setlist track, “Green.” The lyrics are very reassuring and sweet, emphasizing a place of comfort and a shoulder to lean on in hard times, and many fans especially love the title being a nod to the official color of B.A.P’s fandom. Yongguk watched with relaxed shoulders as the crowd showered him with love, a look of pure gratitude on his face as he bowed, thanking fans and heading backstage.

But it didn’t end there – after disappearing beyond the velvet curtain, Yongguk and DJ Babynine returned rocking tour merch and vibing into an encore set. “BUSS IT DOWN” made a reappearance, as well as “야해 (Ya),” “Rain On Me” and “Orange Drive,” and at that point it was a full-blown party. He took special time to laugh with the crowd and thank everyone for coming out, swapped hats and beanies with lucky fans in the front row, even messing with videos and photos by doing cute poses and throwing water on himself and the crowd. My friends and I took part in the revelry, holding heart emojis and kind messages in Korean on our phones up by our foreheads and absolutely losing it every time he pointed and sang his lyrics directly to us. He was a class act, finally taking his bow to an eruption of cheers and officially closing out what was close to a two-hour showcase.

Bang Yongguk’s legacy means far more than a name on a marquee – his artistry not only reflects the early tenacious fire of his humble beginnings but has only developed and matured as time goes on. An artist who has never been afraid of vulnerability and pushing boundaries, Yongguk’s sound and style transcend every venue space into a raw retelling of his inner self. Fans see someone who has dealt with public scrutiny and underestimation, has admitted to personal struggles involving depression, anxiety, imposter syndrome, and even life-ending thoughts, and has chosen again and again to overcome every odd with a vengeance. An industry rarity, Yongguk not only wears his entire heart on his sleeve but invites fans to take a piece of it with them after each and every performance.

hello! hope ur doing well and sorry to bother u but a long time ago i read this b.a.p, a/b/o daehyun-centric fic where he was the only omega and the rest were alphas and betas and i think they saved him from an abusive pack and took him in and there was a manipulative kind of dark undertone to the whole story? and in a sequel daehyun and zelo met near a frog pond but i think that was like a remake of the og fic and i was wondering if u wrote it/know who wrote it? i've been looking everywhere and i remember reading ur fics back in the day! thank u so much x

Ah sorry it's not ringing a bell. I hope you find the fics though!

On Lisbon

Portugal Lover? Let these books upgrade your next trip.

To me, it feels like Lisbon is the place to be right now. I have lost count of the friends and colleagues who either worked, lived, studied or repeatedly spent their summers in Portugals capital.

Why people love it there? Simple: The bright warm colours and the cobblestone streets, the not-so-overwhelming density and the diversity, the vibrant cultural life and the many young people that feel gravitated to the candour and melting-pot-vibe, Portuguese food and wine, the little parks that are sprinkled throughout the city and the special history and atmosphere of a place that has often rebuilt itself. And last but not least the very beauty of a place by the sea that is surrounded by lush nature and endless beaches.

Oh, and of course: Pastéis de Nata.

So in order to enhance your first stay in Lisbon or your 23rd The Sunday Coffee Club has something for you: Portuguese novelist Djaimilia Pereira de Almeidahas reviewed books to help readers get to know Portugal’s vibrant capital, and spots to read them if you go.

Her guide is broken up into the following sections:

What should I read before I pack my bags?

What books can give me a sense of life under the dictatorship of António de Oliveira Salazar?

What books can give me a sense of the city’s colonial past? and finally

What’s a good place to curl up with a book on a day off? Any bookstores I should visit?

You can find the full guide here.

P.S.: Sharing this reader comment because it truly hits the spot:

“Portugal has a peculiar personality that now is being appreciated after decades being considered the backdoor of Europe. Local culture is an interesting combination of traditionalism and avant-garde. Portuguese culture has pleasure in the details, things are done with "zelo" or "capricho", words that mean done with love. Rare thing these days...”

Annon-Guy: Tales of Symphonia Remastered Story Trailer.

Plus, a look at the 'Chosen Edition' by the end.

BTW, how funny is it that Colette makes the jump over the bridge, but Lloyd, Sheena and Zelos are the ones who fail to make that 😂.

P.S. Good thing Emil, Marta and Richter never had to attempt that stunt, right? I can see Alice and Decus attempting to do so and failing while chasing Emil and Marta while Richter would try and play it safe.

GKD here! I still wish they would have ported DotNW to the switch with this remaster, even if they didn’t change anything. I could always plug in my Wii and play it again, but my Switch is much easier to access. I’d love to revisit both titles, honestly. But other than the Chosen Edition with the sticker packs and stuff, there really isn’t much new with this that I would consider buying this port new. I’d consider getting it used or on sale, maybe. But since I own Symphonia and still have the ability to play it if I chose to, the remaster just isn’t bringing me enough to consider getting it again. But I am excited for a generation of new fans to find out about it. Maybe DotNW can get some new hype off this remaster? I know that when I finished Baten Kaitos years after it came out and found out there was a Prequel that I rushed out to get it! So hopefully people will be the same with this. As for Colette making the jump when no one else can, she’s technically got the advantage of wings. Even if she’s klutzy. The fact that we know Zelos has wings and chooses to take a dive instead is the truly funny part. Colette just breezing over it despite being the klutz of the group IS funny. But Zelos going “Yeah, I’m just going to take the plunge, I guess.” is the cherry on top. Richter may be more athletic than Aster but yeah. Richter wouldn’t attempt a jump like that. Especially not if he could have Aqua follow them while he catches up. I think even if Emil and Marta couldn’t make the jump, Tenebrae could always fly them across. But the game severely under-utilizes Tenebrae as an unofficial party member. He gets four big moments that I can remember of contributing outside of commanding the party’s monsters. The Fishing Rod transformation, the Celsius Transformation, stealing (and eating) the detonator in the Casino, and then the sacrifice he made to lift the golem monster Alice rigged to blow Emil up. I feel like the writers just forgot that Tenebrae is an extremely powerful shapeshifter and only wrote him physically interacting with the world to help the party when they ran out of other ideas. Onshuu no Richter under-utilizes Aqua the same way, honestly.

hiiii! I hope you don't mind, but I'm gonna rapid fire a bunch of (mostly) gen scott-centric, scott-positive authors/fics at you. This list is by no means exhaustive, as there are a lot of wonderful gen Scott fics and I know I'm missing so many!

A lot of these do focus on Scott's relationships with various characters, but not in a romantic/shippy way unless noted. Some are Scott POV, some are other POV's about Scott, and a lot of them are angst, trauma exploration, hurt/comfort-type fics. I've included some general info with each fic.

(This got wayyyy longer than I intended, sorry! Rec list below the cut.)

Various Authors:

Yo Hablo Español by tokillthatmockingbird (Scott POV | Scott & Melissa, Scott & Stiles)

little things define (so I'm going to be better) - orphaned fic (Scott POV | Scott & Melissa)

The Overlooked by multiple authors (Outsider POV series | various BHHS teachers)

What's Worth the Trouble by amorremanet (Scott POV | 3A introspection | cw for suicidal ideation)

i'll be your light your match your burning sun - orphaned fic (Scott POV | Scott & Liam | during 4x06 "Orphaned")

all this blood on your hands - orphaned fic (Scott 2nd person POV | Scott & Liam | post-4x08 "Time of Death")

With You (From Dusk Til Dawn) by nameonehero (Scott POV | Scott/Isaac | post-4x09 "Perishable" | this one is shippy but really explores Scott's mental state post-assassination attempt |

wood and string by detectivemeer (Scott POV | Scott & Stiles | leads up to 5A finale | cw for self-harm)

Human - orphaned fic (Scott POV | Scott/Stiles but can be read platonically | 5X10 "Status Asthmaticus" coda | cw for suicidal ideation)

If you will forgive a single self-rec... A Hollow Darkness in Disguise (Scott POV | 5x10 "Status Asthmaticus" paralleling 3x06 "Motel California" | introspection | cw for suicidal ideation)

Carnival of Souls by @bigskydreaming / bigskydreamin (Scott POV | Scott & chimeras | post-5A finale | unfinished WIP but well worth the read)

"I lost" by wouriqueen (Scott POV | Scott & Melissa | 5x10 "Status Asthmaticus" | scene rewrite)

Dulce by pocketmumbles(livelikejack) (Scott POV | Scott & Melissa & Mason | post-5A | trauma exploration)

You Don't Owe Us Anything by yokomya (Scott POV | Scott & the pack | post-5A | hurt/comfort)

A collapsing every day by Zelos (Scott POV | Scott & Parrish | post-5B | character study/trauma exploration)

you know it don't matter like it did before by @nacreousgore / NacreousGore (Scott POV | Scott & Deaton | animal euthanasia | Scott's pain is taken)

remember me (no llores por favor) by @lethargicprofessor / lethargicprofessor (Scott POV | Scott & Melissa | remembrance of those lost)

Let it break or you'll never breathe by @freddieslater / freddieslater (Scott POV | Scott & Derek | post-6B finale | hurt/comfort)

Permanent Ink by NeverMessWithTeddyBears (Scott & the pack | post-canon | McCallpack symbol)

@momentofmemory / momentofmemory:

Codominance (Scott POV | Scott & Stiles | 5x13 "Codominance" rewrite | trauma exploration | everything the episode should have been and more. the teen wolf writers could never)

meet me on the landing (Scott POV | 10 drabbles | parallels various traumas ft. stairs)

administered twice, daily (Scott POV | Scott & Deaton | post-5A)

blood in the water (Scott POV | mostly gen, Scott/Malia at the end | showers following traumas throughout the series)

futility (Scott POV | Scott & Monroe | post-series | Scott's at UC Davis)

I seriously recommend all of her fics. One of mem's specialties is canonical, deep, and devoted exploration of characters, so whether relationship or gen, you'll get the kind of focus/development you're looking for.

@spikeface / Spikeface:

halfway to nowhere (Liam POV | Scott & Liam | werewolfiness & mental health exploration) Published just yesterday and incredible! Also part of an unfinished series: There's Always Hope exploring various people learning about the events of 3x06 "Motel California" (keep an eye out for the other fics!)

damnatio memoriae (Scott POV | Scott & Rafael | re: the stairs incident and memories)

the hunted sky (Scott POV | Scott & Araya, Scott & the pack | during 4x01 "The Dark Moon")

You mentioned a preference for gen, but if you are ever wanting a relationship-based fic that still has excellent character exploration/perspective on Scott, Spike's are great for that. I'd recommend the fabulists (Stiles POV | Scott/Stiles | Scott & animals) or the family of things (Scott POV | Scott/Theo | Scott & Stiles & Lydia & Theo roadtrip | includes sex content ch. 3 onward)

@scribeoffate / idc_chan :

the meaning of life (Scott POV | during/post-5x10 "Status Asthmaticus" | pure angst | cw for suicidal ideation)

Nemeses (Various villains' POV | mostly gen, Scott/Theo at end)

From a Distance (Boyd POV | Scott & Boyd | leads up to 3x10 "Motel California" | cw for referenced suicide attempt | great exploration of Boyd as well | packs an emotional punch <- the author is so good at this in general)

@daughterofluthien / LuthienKenobi:

let the human in (Scott POV | Scott & Deaton | 2x10 "Fury" | Missing scene)

Everyone Has a Scott McCall Story  (Sydney outsider POV | post-6B | addresses 5x18 "Maid of Gévaudan")

what they'll say about us (Various villains' POV | drabbles | Scott & Stiles)

@scintalla / rajvi_shah:

I'm not sure if love is a salve or just a deeper wound (Scott POV | Scott & Deaton, implied/past Scott/Allison | between 3B-S4 | hurt/comfort, panic attack)

phantom limb syndrome (Scott 2nd person POV | 5x10 "Status Asthmaticus," 5x11 "The Last Chimera" | hurt/comfort, character study)

@mitchpell / mitchpell

The Ominous Silence (Various POV | Scott + asthma attacks)

On the Nature Of... (Melissa POV | Scott & Melissa | conversations throughout the series)

For more fic, I recommend perusing @dailyscottficrec and their Ao3 fic archive, as well as @scottappreciation's fic tag and Scottuary 2022 and 2023(ongoing) fics, though I recognize hunting for gen fic in a sea of mixed fic is time-consuming.

I hope this wasn't overwhelming, and I hope you find some fics you enjoy!

does anyone have any scott mccall centric (mostly) genfics?? on my hands and knees here
