BACKGROUND: 

The Sinclair family was all about appearances—fancy parties, polite smiles, and a perfect image. But underneath, they were just strangers living under the same roof. Siblings, trapped in a world their parents created, each trying to find a way out.

Kol, the eldest, carried the most responsibility. He was supposed to be the perfect son—the leader, the example. He became a businessman, though he wasn’t sure if that was ever truly his choice. He was raised to be smart, to say the right things, to never step out of line. He protected his younger brother from the world, they were like thickest thieves. If Jaren was out on an adventure, Kol wasn't far behind.

As a kid, Kol had a rebellious streak. He didn’t want to follow rules just because someone told him to. But in his family, defiance wasn’t an option. His father was a powerful man, and Kol had to play the part of the perfect son, whether he liked it or not.

He had everything—money, status, success. People either admired him or wanted to challenge him. But deep down, Kol never felt like he truly fit in. Was Vice really where he belonged? Or was there something more?

He works as a Owner at Cherry on Top, he enjoys entertainment and often indulges in the festivities. He takes his management seriously as he does in protecting his fellow vices.

Little does he know—he wasn’t meant to be a Sinclair. That at birth, he had been switched, meant to grow up in Virtue instead. sooner or later he will face a choice: hold on to the life he’s always known or search for the truth about where he really belongs.

🖤 Blog dedicated to Dreamcatcher 🖤

Hello! It's @ni-kol-koru from another blog! I finally decided that it was time to open another account to separate my interests, and this one will be dedicated to Dreamcatcher!

Some of you know that I am a big Dreamcatcher fan! I am an InSomnia for years! I even went to their concert in Warsaw, which was one of the best experiences and one of my favorite memories ever! From time to time, I like to post something related to Dreamcatcher, something from the concert, something from my collection or simply like and reblog things I find under their tag. I used to do it on my other account that was mostly for reblogging, liking and posting content related to Kuroko no Basuke and interacting with the wonderful people in the fandom! Having posts related to other topics on that blog always felt kind of out of place, so I usually restrained myself from posting anything that was not KuroBasu related... So, because I want to continue posting, reblogging and liking Dreamcatcher content, as well as meet more Somnies, I decided to open this account!

I can't wait to meet some new people, make new friends and share my love for Dreamcatcher through this blog!

( daniel sharman. 1,000+. original vampire. ) KOL MIKAELSON, you’ve been haunting mystic falls’ streets with your desire to KEEP YOURSELF AND YOUR FAMILY ALIVE WHILE ENJOYING THE PERKS OF VAMPIRISM. it’s only a matter of time before your ARROGANT & EASILY ANGERED tendencies prove to be your own undoing; unless your CHARMING & STRATEGIC nature helps you obtain allies before it’s too late.

B A S I C S 

full name: kol mikaelson. nicknames: n/a. gender:  cis man. pronouns:  he/him. sexuality:  pansexual. age:  1,000+. date of birth:  unknown. zodiac sign:  unknown. birthplace: present day mystic falls. current location: mystic falls. species:  original vampire. occupation:  unemployed. languages spoken: english, french, spanish, latin, german, norwegian, danish, old norse.

A P P E A R A N C E

faceclaim:  daniel sharman. height: 6'2. build:  toned and lean. eyes:  blue. hair:  light brown. piercings:  none.  tattoos:  none. other distinguishing features:  height. style:  usually seen wearing darker clothes. leather jackets, dark blue jeans and black boots. occasionally dresses formally when the time calls for it. 

P E R S O N A L I T Y

traits:  (+) charming, strategic, intelligent, confident , strong willed. (-) arrogant, easily angered, obnoxious, jealous, unforgiving.  mental health:  anger management issues, abandonment issues.  physical health:  superior. likes:  feeding, drinking, partying, torturing, flirting, sex, reading, music, traveling, witches.  dislikes:  being antagonized, people who don't respect his authority, being undermined, hunters, his parents.  fears:  death, being daggered, the death of his siblings. 

B A C K G R O U N D

everything regarding kol is pretty much the same canon wise up until s3 of the vampire diaries, but here are important key points in my portrayal of him:

kol does in fact love his siblings and would do anything for them, but holds a lot of resentment towards them due to the fact that he feels ostracized a lot of the time. especially due to the fact that he was excluded from their "always and forever" pact.

he craves a bond with his siblings as strong as the ones they have with each other, even though he would never admit that out loud.

his violent antics and outbursts stem from his need for attention and affection from his siblings, something that, again, he would never admit out loud.

M I S C E L L A N E O U S

what are your character’s goals? do they have any present allegiances? kol's main goal is to keep himself and his family alive. however, he does like to focus on his own hedonism and enjoying the perks of being an immortal being. he would say his allegiance is to himself, but truthfully, his allegiance is to his family.

what has your character been up to before/during the start of our group, at the beginning of tvd season 3? ( feel free to play with or mix up canon events as you like ! ) kol has been daggered up until recently, and has been adjusting to waking up in a new time period.

what songs do you associate with your character? highway to hell by ac/dc, going to hell by the pretty reckless, womanizer by britney spears, bad at love by halsey

have you altered anything about your character’s canon? nothing's been altered.

do you have any other random headcanons worth mentioning? kol is a huge music lover. he can play numerous instruments, including the piano, guitar, violin, harp and cello, among others.

is there anything you’re potentially interested in exploring romantically for your character / what do you, or could you, ship? i would definitely be interested in exploring potential romantic storylines for kol. someone who can bring out his softer side, make him realize that being in love/monogamous isn't a horrible thing. i'm open to any ships, honestly. m/f or m/m.

what sort of current or future connections/plots are you looking for? i would love to see some vampires sired by kol, as well as witches from covens that he used to deal with before being daggered.

Peronality + things to know

So right now I hadn't really caught up on The Orginals so we'll say semi canon for right now

He really hates his job and skips when he can

Still a fruit cake and unhinged

Honestly approach with caution

Former people in Dr. Han's life

Friends

Pinatas ( I mean fighting buddies)

People to bother

Anything really

Annoying Brothers

Female vampire reader x Rebekah Mikaelson

Summary: You comfort Rebekah after a fight with her brothers, turning the rest of the day into a movie marathon

Warnings: None, just fluff

a/n: Just a short little blurb I wanted to write.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You look up from your book, hearing someone slamming the front door open and close. Placing your book down on the coffee table, you look over to the hallway and see Rebekah kick off her black heels in a flimsy manner.

Before you say anything to the blonde, she walks over and slams herself onto you. In the action, she makes you sit back into the couch with her head resting on your chest and her arm wrapped around your waist tightly.

"You okay, baby?" You ask your girlfriend. "Nik and Elijah are being arses" she mumbles, frowning.

"What'd he do this time?" You ask, knowing there are certain precautions to take when Klaus and Rebekah aren't getting along.

"He won't tell me anything, acting as if I'm not standing right in front of him. And anytime I try talking to Stefan or Elena, then I'm apparently a threat and he has to drag me away as if I'm his little kid or pet. And of course, Elijah agrees with him." she seethes, getting fed up.

You run your hand through her silky hair. "Before you go and set things of theirs on fire, how about we have a movie night? We can watch all those girly movies that Kol was about to throw away when you bought them" You smile softly.

"Really?" her eyes light up. "Really!" You kiss her forehead before she scampers off upstairs to her room and comes back down with the DVDs.

You take the one she picks out and put it into the DVD player at the TV stand. You take the remote, switch it to HDMI2, and after a couple seconds of loading and fast-forwarding ads, the intro to Mean Girls starts.

You go back to the couch and as soon as you sit down, Rebekah snuggles into your arms with a smile on her face.

✦ APRIL NEWSLETTER

Citizens of Hiraeth, we hope you had a lovely March! Spring is here, and the flowers are blooming! Below, you'll find our second article to keep you all informed on the goings-on of our beloved city (and our muns)!

✦ HOUSEKEEPING

The D&D Task was terrific! Although you all had such different aesthetics, your characters' identities showed through in each option you chose. Great Work!

If you didn't happen to get the task done, don't panic! They're not required, but they are a fun way to keep developing your characters and help others understand them, too. We'll have a new one there for you all each month.

Be sure to send in your Wanted Connections here so we can add them for everyone to see in and out of the group! The page is conveniently linked here.

Keep an eye out for a possible event that may be happening in the late weeks of April. As far as I remember, some of our lovely Tyros need to make a decision soon, and one individual's trial needs to be completed...

✦ BIRTHDAYS

MUSE BIRTHDAYS: Dorian Blackwell - April 1st James Goldstein - April 2nd Edgar Wayne - April 3rd Beverly Torrance - April 4th Evelyn Hino - April 7th Marlana Zhao - April 16th Kol Sinclair - April 20th Danny Cartier - April 25th Henry Cartier - April 25th Enver Karatay - April 27th

MUN BIRTHDAYS: None!

*If you want your birthday or your muse's birthday included in the list, be sure to let us know in your intro or in a private message!

✦ AWARDS

We had some really incredible candidates for awards this last month. Whether you went above and beyond to include others or made some incredible story arc choices, you all are amazing!

MUN OF THE MONTH: Lena Lena just joined us last month, but it feels as though they (and Sen) have been with us all along. From jumping right into the fire of plots, connections, and conversations in our chats to creating full Pinterest boards for a multitude of those very connections, they created a domino effect in the group that made everyone (including the admin) feel extra special. It's tough to be new, we totally get it, and they really did a great job of making it look easy.

MUSE OF THE MONTH: Whitney Fell ( Livvy ) Creating or converting a character over to a new setting can be challenging, but Whitney fits in flawlessly. Attorney Fell is far from perfect as a person, and that's what makes them so lifelike. It must have been quite jarring to see their father's careless decisions, and with her upbringing in Virtue, it makes perfect sense why that would so personally affect their future. Livvy showed a complete understanding of the complex culture surrounding Virtue residents and applied it beautifully.

THREAD OF THE MONTH: Sen + Wes ( Lena + CC ) We were just waiting for someone to use the tonics a little more, and man, has it paid off so far. With Sen's high but hilarious thoughts and Wes's sweet innocence in response, all of us admins have found ourselves giggling with each reply. Not every thread needs to be serious to create a good chapter in our collaborative story, and this one proves it. What a great way of utilizing White Rabbit in a thread. We can't wait to read more!

If you have any suggestions for other awards we could give, be sure to shoot us a message! We love finding new ways to give you all the credit you deserve.

✦ FOUNDERS' FOLIO

With one of our dear citizens quickly approaching their Trials, you may find yourself wondering—what exactly do these "trials" entail? And when did they begin? The answer is both complex and simple.

The Founders understood that people could change and that pressure and time could reshape a person’s convictions. However, allowing constant movement between Vice and Virtue would create instability—both for the individual and the city itself. As generations passed and new souls were drawn into Hiraeth, a solution was forged: the Trials.

Whether transitioning from Vice to Virtue or Virtue to Vice, every participant must endure seven challenges. Some test physical endurance, while others push the limits of the mind and spirit. Each Trial is designed to strip away pretense, forcing the participant to confront who they truly are and if Vice or Virtue is really for them. After all, a shift in allegiance is not a decision to be made lightly.

Those who wish to walk among Virtue must prove their worth through trials shaped by the Seven Heavenly Virtues: Chastity, Humility, Temperance, Patience, Kindness, Diligence, and Charity. Conversely, those who seek Vice must embrace the Seven Deadly Sins: Lust, Pride, Gluttony, Wrath, Envy, Sloth, and Greed.

In time, as technology advanced, the Trials evolved. What was once a physical gauntlet has become an intricate, immersive simulation. Powered by advanced software, the simulation adapts to each participant, pulling from their memories, desires, and deepest secrets. Nothing remains hidden or inaccessible. Every fear, every regret, every weakness is laid bare.

Switching sides is more than a choice—it is a transformation, a reckoning, a sacrifice. Some emerge reborn. Others? Broken.

Now, the question remains… What will our dear citizen face in their Trial? And more importantly—what are they hiding?

John Zorn/The JACK Quartet — The Complete Quartets (Tzadik)

Over the last 40-something years, John Zorn has worked in many styles: there’s the punkish energy of Naked City and punishing grind core of Pain Killer, some 25 volumes of soundtracks, high-wire jazz with Masada, and the many, many side groups he’s composed for (Moonchild, Chaos Magick, a bunch of others that don’t have names). Classical is style that doesn’t immediately come to mind. After all, most of his music has at least one foot in jazz and improvised music.

But as the new two-CD set The Complete Quartets shows, Zorn’s also had an interesting side career writing for the traditional string quartet. The eight pieces here comprise just over 35 years work in this field and show him growing and coming into his own. Sure, it’s a lot to take in all at once, but we’re talking about a guy who loves to do things in bulk. Zorn’s been as prolific as just about any other musical artist you can name.

The four pieces on disc one are some of Zorn’s first pieces for string quartet and they’re also his most familiar ones, too. “Cat O’Nine Tails” was first recorded over 30 years ago by the Kronos Quartet and in the years since, Tzadik has released a couple of records focused on these pieces: 1998’s The String Quartets and 2000’s Cartoon/S&M. But the music on disc two isn’t as well-travelled and where some of this set’s interest lies. It’s largely harder to track down and hasn’t been put into this kind of a context yet. First things first, however.

“Cat O’Nine Tails” was written in 1988 and was Zorn’s first major piece for a string quartet. It still feels wild in the way it jump cuts from bursts of dissonance to little bits of music: at times it sounds like George Crumb and at others like a country hoedown. It feels like a needle jumping haphazardly on a turntable. The way the JACK Quartet moves around inside this is of a piece with Zorn’s other late 1980s ideas: the frantic blasts of Spy vs Spy, the sonic miniatures of Naked City, the quick cuts of his soundtrack work. But they also give an idea of his creativity: he’s exploring the language of the string quartet and creatively misreading his influences.

Indeed, you can hear Zorn working out this language on the first disc. “Dead Man” opens with choppy plucked strings. Zorn works out his voice in the little bits of noisy scratches and the way the strings sometimes sound like a tape unspooling during playback. The quartet handles these tricky passages well, moving through the piece’s 13 sections (presented here as one long track) with aplomb. It’s a short one, but you can hear echoes of this piece’s softer side throughout the rest of the record, particularly in “Memento Mori” and the way the notes sometimes hang in the air, slowly turning into a drone. It’s the longest piece on the set and even if it feels a little too rambly at times, the group handles its quieter passages well.

The first disc ends with “Kol Nidre,” a slower and more melodic composition that’s a change of pace from the set. It moves around two themes that revolve around each other, giving the music a sort of throbbing quality. It’s short, the shortest piece on the record but in some ways it’s the most memorable in its more reflective and emotional passages and the way it shows Zorn working in a different mode, something closer to, say, Phil Niblock. It closes about a decade of his creative growth in this form.

The second disc takes up Zorn’s post 2000 string quartet works. It’s a period where he increasingly turned to others to play his works and started releasing those huge box sets: The Book of Heads, The Bagatelles, The Book of Angels. Comparatively, his work for string quartets slowed down with just four pieces in the last 25 years. Of them the first is the most memorable: the five-part “Necronomicon.” It opens with bursts of energy, particularly in the higher registers, and is livelier than either of the two pieces before it. But after this bombastic intro it moves into a slow, moody mode on “The Magus” and builds up the tension with drawn out notes followed by short little buzzes. The whole piece has the ambience of a soundtrack to a horror movie. You can almost see the wizard working deep inside the castle, stirring up trouble and coming to a frantic, grizzly fate by the end of the fifth movement. In the JACK Quartet’s hands, this piece comes alive and draws you in. It’s the best part of this set.

The final two pieces lack that creativity and ambition. “The Unseen” swirls around little riffs and motifs, while “The Remedy of Fortune” draws on older forms of classical music and has moments of tension, but doesn’t have the same spark. They’re both nice to have, but neither are essential.

But stuck between those and “Necronomicon” is 2011’s “The Alchemist.” According to Zorn, it was inspired by a 16th century occultist/astronomer with an interest in Kabbalah, which honestly tracks with Zorn’s history of influences. It’s a busy piece that would fill a whole side of a vinyl record, but it has some interesting moments where the strings seem to swirl around each other, rising and falling. But there’s a really cool moment about six minutes in where everything drops out except for some ringing high notes and it completely changes the mood of the piece, taking it into spaces where Zorn hasn’t really gone on the other quartets. It’s one that could’ve been easily lost in a larger set but here, placed against his other later works, it shines.

With many albums of his classical music out there already, it’s hard to recommend The Complete Quartets to people newly coming to his classical side. Safer bets are 1999’s The String Quartets or 1996’s Bar Kokhba. But those with a deeper interest in Zorn and an interest in seeing how his compositions grew from collections of miniatures and ideas to more fully fleshed out pieces, will find a lot here to chew on. And throughout the JACK Quartet show themselves as able players for the sometimes tricky music.

Younger me (never getting any sort of intro into politics by my family), when asked about who I voted for:

Me, now (still not talking to my family about it):

Pizdarija, pičke vam materne politika, celo otroštvo & najstništvo nisem vedla zakaj se vsi pizdijo na tv in novice. "Otroci nimajo kaj vedet/se pogovarjat o denarju in politiki" aha? Oče moj, da si ti kol zapiči v rit in ti mačke sfukajo jajca, kero pizdarijo imamo MI tu v svoji kuri Slovenski, jaz pa do zdaj vedel_a več o faking ameriški politiki kot o naši.

Dragi_e, spoštovani mutuals slovenskega in balkanskega bratstva, po teh EU volitvah se pripravite na pizdenje o slovenski politiki na tej platformi. Če vam bo šlo na jetra, vranico, ali želodec, blokirajte tag #SLOvesni politični drek , in naj vam bodo pamet in možganske celice prišparane.

Plus sledenja novicam glede pomembnih tem je, da zdaj prebiram mnenja raznih strank in se mi gravža pri vseh strankah za katere sem pričakoval_a da se mi bo.

My mental health may be in the gutter, ampak moj glas pa ne bo!!!

P.S. if you have teens in your family ffs educate them about shit like this. Because otherwise you'll get the "Voting has no meaning, my voice doesn't count". LET THEM KNOW HOW TO FORM THEIR OWN OPINIONS ON IMPORTANT TOPIC FFS!!!
