#WHAT IS THIS!!! MYSTERY PERFORMANCE

[damage-incorp0rated]

genuinely obsessed with and mesmerized by this footage in particular but i cannot find any full performance anywhere (i scoured every haldyn hotel performance i could. believe me) and it doesn't help that some guy in the comments said the footage is very rare ... this is unfortunate

this is like the only video i can find of it (on youtube at least i have yet to check any other sites)

this sure is peculiar

what do y’all think illario’s hobbies are? what is he interested in? what does he do in his spare time? what does he know a lot about the nobody would expect? what did he love as a kid that he hasn’t thought about in years but could jump back into in a heartbeat if given the chance? what are his wyverns and cooking and knitting and romance novels?

who would he be if you took him away from his family and his job and the politics of it all? i don’t think he even knows the answer to that, but there still has to be an answer!

maybe the ultimate truth was in the kpop albums we released along the way

alt color ver under cut

just their silhouettes make them look like priests here a little bit

the kink got out of hand, sorry

then what ARE the words you want to say

I can't believe they really went with "antagonist gets amnesia, vaguely recognises the protagonist and decides that they are besties actually" trope

[a-confused-spoon]

Sometimes I look back at s6 of the dragon prince and the whole viren-soren situation, and it's still beyond me that some people really defended that shit with "actually it's not a problem that soren didn't get closure because it's realistic"

Said about a character who should have very severe PTSD from murdering his father among other things mind you

Something about Charlie's 1.1 Garment makes me feel really bad for her

Like, you have her smiling, but then you have the reflection; showtime vs backstage

I would not be surprised if Charlie had a serious case of imposter syndrome; after all, who is she, outside of the spotlight?

A tyrant? A regular girl under the rule of William III?

No one knows, not even herself...

Oh my, I hadn't noticed that detail

Poor girl definitely struggles with keeping up that facade. It always seems to slip, and she doesn't seem pretty comfortable when it does.

I haven't read her story so I wonder about her past, if her personality and her ways of acting have something to do with that (This is reverse ofc it does)

Sometimes she feels like she doesn't belong there, that all the fame is not hers, and that she doesn't deserve all of it. It's a shame, nothing can make her feel deserving, but of course she won't say that out loud.

She needs someone to hold her from time to time, it's unfortunate she would never let anyone know. Behind that tough barrier, antisocial behavior and confusing personality, there's someone who doesn't know how to deal with herself.

She needs a hug

Hush...Hush, Sweet Charlotte (1964)

"Miriam? He really... isn't here, is he? Just now, I thought I heard... sometimes at night, when I wake up, it seems as if he really is here. Don't turn on the light. It's not real when it's light. It's only real when it's dark - dark and still."

Person reading this can you tell me your favorite story and why it was the way that it was.

MLCB Concert: XSY's Farewell

In truth, I really don’t like this part, because it also represents that we are bidding our characters farewell for good.

In the morning, when I was getting my makeup done - in an instant, I returned to that summer. I felt that, to be together with good friends, and then having experienced as sweltering a summer as that…

Such an ardently hot-blooded jianghu was presented to everyone; to stand here today-- Because… Because, during the time of Mysterious Lotus Casebook’s initial broadcast, everyone and all the lianluorens must also be thanked. I know there must have been a lot of difficulties when it was first broadcasted, right? To have reached this step today, I think is already very good. I think it is a result of every person’s hard work.

Just now, when we were off-stage, Yan-laoshi said something I really like; in an instant, I lost my composure. I don’t think fate is something that will come with enough waiting, or something that can be insisted on having. It’s when there comes a day where we stand together and work hard to strive toward a common goal. The sentiments of that moment, I feel, last forever.

I hope, however many years later, everyone is still together - that lianluorens can still be together. Thank you, everyone. This summer, thank you to every person. Thank you to all my good companions; thank you, every single person.

Di Feisheng! Until we meet again!

【莲花楼演唱会】 Mysterious Lotus Casebook Concert - 20230916

江湖路远   山高水长  祝 「繁华」 似锦！ The roads of the jianghu stretch far; the mountains are lofty, and the rivers are long. I wish your future to be as splendid as an embroidered tapestry! 「追光」 而行  不负初心  愿 永生难忘！ Chase the light as you journey; live up to the original intentions of your heart. I hope this will be unforgettable for your lifetime!

Any mistakes are my own.

Xiao Shunyao for Anhui Television's Chinese Drama Awards

[bonehilda-deactivated]

i don't like the pressure on artists to have a social media presence. i don't want to see your morning routine, in fact, i don't want to see you at all. Off you go to your cabin in appalachia to write 9 minute songs about the passage of time and the vastness of memory. You can still fuck your bassist but DON'T make a tiktok about it. your only existence to me should be on a name on the album cover.

You know, Random Strange thought that I kept having in mind.

If the Stupid Invaders movie wasn't cancelled, I kept having a strange feeling that the Villains would've been recast once again like in the Game version compare to how Bud & Stereo's voices were changed in Season 2 or the Cancelled Film Trailer (at least, if Stereo could've been in the film somewhere and not in the trailer).

I honestly wouldn't tell who would've played Dr. Saccharin, but the Theory Vision thing that comes within in mind is how I would've imagine Ben Kingsley voicing as Bolok in the Movie (at least in Synthese's Own English Dub & not have it be butchered much like with The "Other" Adaptation).

Unpopular opinon: norris still a better driver than piastri but it seems like he has a mental block right now

I've made my opinion on this clear. I disagree. As far as hot takes go I'd say this is a 5/10 fandom wide, it's a 9/10 here specifically.

However, it's not a mental block, Lando has been pretty clear his issue is with the car and the fact he isn't comfortable and hasn't adapted to the car as well as Oscar this year. So I don't think it's a mystery with the current h2h.

The pacing on the Silo 17 subplot is especially weird when you remember what got people hooked on the show is Rashida Jones and David Oyelowo having full arcs and character growth in 1-2 episodes and then BAM they're out and that momentum carries us through the introduction to Juliette and the gang in mechanical.

As a non-book viewer it seems like they maybe signed Ferguson to a contract of $$$ per season so they don't want to reduce her screen time when the plot requires her character be sidelined, so they just made her and Zahn have the same scene over and over again until it's finally time for her to go back to the A plot.

More stellar canning advice from the UK: "Your rowan jam will keep for up to a year in a cool cupboard and like all jams once opened should be stored in the fridge and used up within a month. Please Note – We do not usually do water bath or other canning methods here in the UK. Our preserves keep perfectly well without this."

Just as their cats are uniquely able to dodge cars & mean children and so must run free, their insects uniquely disinterested in entering open windows and thus no need for window screens, so too are their jams uniquely impervious to spoilage and thus require no proper canning. I wish I could think that this person was an outlier, but unfortunately this is the state of food preservation in this country. There's a lot of similar advice in Germany as well, though I don't know about the rest of Europe.
