#((First Phase)) - D. Lovers Verse

[sterlingarcher23]

Max's memories are forshadowing: ElMax & Lumax

Inventive foreshadowing creates a sense of unity in a story even when the audience may not be consciously aware of the foreshadowing and payoff., David Trottier

Sort of. The happy memories actually give us the basic structure of Max's character arc in regards to relationships in Season 5. (As far as there is scene material because I think there's something else.)

Now the first thing is Lucas & Max from S4, but then they start to show us several scenes but completely out of order.

Lucas "I'm right here" (at her bedside - S4 or 5?), Swallowing the red Skittle/the ghost like Pac-Man mid flight ("You were wearing that yellow benny's burgers t-shirt and it was so big it almost swallowed you whole")=consumption of a ghost, followed by the linking sequence, going back to S2 apso out of order, the boys meeting the killer & Lucas and Dustin teaming with Max, the ghost trap, photos of ElMax, like frozen in time (Doctor Who=single moment in time). Lucas and Max when he calls her Madmax (like Mad Max Rockatansky), again ElMax together ....

...even Mike appears (a talk between him & Max like Kota and Lucy having a conversation?), foreshadowing the movie date, ElMax hugging, Lumax not unhappy and, Highfive! Winners.

Lover in the mind - lover in the physical world.

Lucas speaks to the dying (physical), El speaks to the going (mind).

Both have patterns that need another verse in order to rhyme bc of a tiny change midway through (similar to a certain D&D bridge puzzle😉)

Elumax Endgame.

Byler on the left, ElMax on the right, both when Will or Max respectively, have their possession phase.

Oh, and the movie date scene is a basic story writing technique: a promise. And this needs a payoff. The question isn't IF but HOW. (And how you get abilities is been established in Season 4.)

It's you and me won't be unhappy.... Promise, progress, payoff.

So, they made a promise, are now (with the revival) in the process of a progress which will be added through the way how Max will wake up....

...and this will get a payoff. Simple. Right now, most can't imagine how, given the circumstances even though the writers gave us the rules for doing it and every foreshadowing possible that will lead to a payoff. Max can't feel nor see - both! So, either both will be mended or none. Excluding one is bad writing. - So, its both. We learned how, therefore it's not a Deus ex machina, and we will learn why. Max only needs to take his, I mean her medicine. Darn pronouns.

That payoff is only possible through ElMax and note how they use sequences with them in which they are physically close to one another after the mall scene in which they link, like they are...inseparable.

Here separated...

...after this they are combined. Linked. "Love goes through the stomach"

It's all One and One for all = 11

A bit dated (admittedly)

🐝 * ― 𝑺𝑯𝑰𝑷𝑷𝑰𝑵𝑮 𝑺𝑯𝑬𝑬𝑻.

Bold: definitely applies

Italicize: could potentially apply

Do i ship our characters together?: yes | no | not yet but maybe surely soon

I know myself, and I may or may not have imagined a bit of chemistry when we were talking about how Pokkle passed Senritsu's phase. At least a spark.

Would i like to ship with you?: yes | maybe, i'm willing to try | no

Type of relationship i could see: childhood or high school sweethearts | exes | engaged | married | long-term relationship* | crushes | unrequited love | fling | long distance | online relationship | just dating | new relationship | toxic lovers | friends with benefits

* I mean (xD), if we go canon, no one relationship can be long-term with Pokkle's fate. Now, there is some possibility, if we plot something about, I don't know, If they meet again after he becomes a hunter (or it doesn't even have to be remeeting if they didn't lose contact), maybe for some reason Pokkle never travels to NGL, then the Chimera arc would never happen for him. It's one of the verses I have for him. For example? Senritsu could maybe heal Pokkle's father (I don't know how far her healing power extends) and ends up being the father who travels to NGL. Or maybe they both go but the father sacrifices himself to save his son.

Tropes i'd enjoy writing for them: friends to lovers | enemies to lovers | exes to lovers | fake relationship / dating | forbidden love | grumpy and sunshine | star-crossed lovers | surprise pregnancy | second chance | soulmates | amnesia / mistaken identity | forced proximity | secret relationship | slow burn relationship

Would i rather plot first or jump right in and see where it goes?: develop their relationship first | jump right in | something in between *

* Knowing us, and knowing how our muses do what they want, no matter what we decide it probably won't turn out the way we planned lol

What now?: let's plot something | send me shippy memes | i'll send you shippy memes | write me a random starter | i'll write you a random starter*

* I haven't forgotten that I owe you a starter anyway xD

Anything else i want you to know about me / my character / my shipping habits: None :D

So Much (For) Stardust my (incoherent) thoughts during the first listen:

1.) Love From The Other Side

THE APOCALYPSE! GOD WHAT A BEGINNING! This was the single that reactivated my Fall Out Boy Phase :))

2.) Heartbreak Feels So Good

Hi steph. Do you have a fic rec list of novel- long fics? Ta

AHHHH Nonny you’re in luck! As I’ve been sorting, I’ve been separating them into word length too, LOL. And seeing as it’s National Novel Writing Month, I think this is a great time to give our fandom writers love and appreciation for their novel-length works!

So I Googled how long a basic novel is, and according to this site, it’s between 40k and 90k. Hmm, well, I have them sorted in 25K chunks, so I’ll start at 50K to 100K, since it works seeing as NaNo’s writing goal is 50K :D). 

I really hope you enjoy! :D Love all you authors so very much, and I look forward to this year’s submissions!

NOVEL LENGTH FICS (50 - 100 K WORDS)

Heirverse masterlist for my personal use

I’ve just overhauled the masterlist on my ff.net profile to try and make it more “reader friendly” (read: less intimidating to look at. If that is even possible at this point)

But i still wanted to keep the original masterlist somewhere as I need it to keep track of the verse timeline wise. And so I know what to work on/write next.

Not expecting people to look at this, I just want it somewhere for peace of mind; I’m paranoid about losing my offline copies and backups for your backups are always good to have.

[questionsonislam]

Does a woman have to marry her husband in the world in Paradise? If she married only once in the world, will she have the right to choose another man?

Detailed information regarding the bounties of Paradise has been given in the Quran for man, who is inclined to all kinds of perfection and beauty and who desires his highest degree like a lover; in addition, he has been pledged the content and pleasure of Allah.

Paradise, which includes all kinds of spiritual and emotional bounties, also contains all kinds of bodily and material bounties. Eating, drinking and marrying are regarded among the highest bounties of Paradise. According to the statements of the Quran and hadiths, the family life that is established in the world will continue forever if both spouses deserve to go to Paradise; their marital relations will go on endlessly. However, the spouses that did not believe and died as unbelievers will be separated from their spouses and they will suffer the punishment for their unbelief by staying in hell forever even if they are the wives of Hazrat Noah and Lot and the husband of Asiya, the Pharaoh.

God Almighty will give the believing women who entered Paradise due to their belief and good deeds to their husbands as spotlessly clean wives by cleaning them from all kinds of worldly defects. Those women of the world, who were created in a more beautiful form than houris, will be eternal friends of life for their husbands and become the sultans of the houris. They will make use of Paradise forever with the people they love without any feelings of jealousy and competition.

The believing men and women who died before they got married in the world will be married in Paradise; all of the single people will be married there. However, those who died as children are exceptions to that rule. As it is understood from the phrase, “wildanun mukhalladun” (immortal children), the children of believers who died before reaching the age of puberty will go to Paradise directly, but they will make their parents enjoy the pleasure of caressing and loving children by remaining as children forever. However, God Almighty will create the children who prayed and performed fasting thanks to the encouragement of their parents although they did not have to as adults and he will grant them the return for their deeds as Paradise. The children of unbelievers who died before reaching the age of puberty will enter Paradise but they will be employed as servants. Those who were not sane and the people of interregnum who were unaware of the true religion will enter Paradise since they were not mukallaf (responsible); they will not be accounted for their mistakes.

– Which one of her husbands will a woman who married several times in the world be together with in Paradise?

– First of all, it is necessary not to forget the characteristic of Paradise. If its characteristic is forgotten, many questions cannot be answered. That characteristics is as follows:

Paradise is a place of complete happiness. A person who enters Paradise will not come across with even the slightest thing that will overshadow his happiness. On the contrary, he will have all of the things that will make him happy and as he likes them to be; there will be no deprivation.

Acting upon that basic criterion, we can say that she will be together with the husband that she will be happy with. In other words, she will prefer to be with the husband that made her happy in the world; she will increase the happiness of the world more in the hereafter. In Paradise, it is out of question to be together with a person that one does not like or does not want. Then, those who love will be together with the people whom they loved in Paradise; they will transform their ephemeral happiness in the world to eternal happiness in the hereafter. That is the summary of the judgment expressed by the hadiths that are thought to have different meanings.

As a matter of fact, the following famous hadith that is uttered as a proverb among people expresses the same thing:

– A person is together with whom he loves!

Unfortunately, the world is not a place that is appropriate for fulfilling every wish. A person might not be together with the person he loves in the world no matter how much he wants. However, it is certain that he will be together with whom he loves in the hereafter though not in the world.

What is more, those who did not express their love openly and could not be together with their lovers will meet their lovers there.

We can add the following remark here.

Since a person will be together with whom he loves in the hereafter, one should love the people who deserve to go to Paradise so that he will be together with them in Paradise. God forbid, if you love the people who deserve to go to Hell, it is possible that you go to Hell in order to be together with whom you love. – Do not say is it possible? It is. They say love is blind. A person may love someone that Allah does not love. He follows that person and goes to the place where he/she goes because a person is together with whom he loves.

Then, love the people that Allah loves so that you will be together with them in the hereafter. Be careful not to be a victim of wrong love and a person who is overcome by his feelings.

Another important point to remember here is as follows.

Great saints say:

– Do not attribute your love in your marriage to outward appearance and beauty, which will disappears soon. Do not regard the beauty of a face, which will disappear soon, as the only reason for love because outward beauty will disappear in a short time; since what makes you love disappears, your love may disappear too. That approach will soon make the family loveless. However, if one attributes his love to nice qualities like belief, ethics, sincerity and loyalty, which will increase as one gets older, not to outward beauty, which will disappear, the future of the family will be guaranteed. The parties who see that the reason for their love continues lifelong will maintain their family without weakening it until they die because the high ethics that originates from devoutness brings the wife and husband together in Paradise; it will enable them to be together in the eternal life after the world; thus, they make their love kind of eternal. Therefore, they are very careful and try not to disappoint and hurt their eternal friend here.

The following point regarding the issue should never be forgotten:

– The wife and husband that will be together in Paradise will not be the same couple with their weaknesses in the world. Both of them will be together in Paradise after being cleaned from all kinds of material and spiritual dirt. What is more, the wife and husband that they imagined will appear exactly; they will have the appearance of a Paradise youth and a Paradise houri that will make each other happy. They will meet in Paradise being freed from some views that overshadowed their love that existed in the world.

Thus, the wife of the man in the world will be a Paradise houri that he will admire fully and the husband will be a Paradise youth that she will admire fully; they will have the opportunity of enjoying their overshadowed happiness in the world without being overshadowed in Paradise, and in a better phase.

Therefore, the love in the world should not be attributed only to the temporary outward beauty. They should focus on the beauty of belief and ethics that will gain them the eternal friendship of life in Paradise, which will improve as they get older so that their family love will continue lifelong and will be transformed to eternal friendship of life.

Does a woman have to marry her husband in the world in Paradise? If she married only once in the world, will she have the right to choose another man?

We can give the following summarized information regarding the issue:

a. The principle is that each husband and wife continue their marriage in Paradise.

b. The women who died before getting married can marry the men they like.

c. According to the opinion of some scholars, if a woman married two or more men in the world, she will marry her first husband if her other marriage(s) took place as a result of the death of her husband not as a result of divorce; according to the opinion of other scholars, she will marry her last husband. However, she can also marry the one that she likes better. (cf. Alusi; ad-Duhan, the interpretation of the verse 44/54.)

d. If one of the spouses wants the other but the other spouse does not want him/her (if there is a consciousness and demand like that), the one who likes will be given a similar spouse, and the other is left free; he/she will marry whomever she wants.

- It should not be forgotten that a depressing situation is never in question in Paradise. Nobody will be more beautiful and beloved than one’s spouse no matter whom one marries. The sadness and longing in the world are not in question in Paradise. In other words, the longing and sadness remaining from the world will be eliminated there by reunion or there will be no traces from them; what is important is to enter Paradise. Therefore, it is necessary to compete in taqwa, that is, in obeying the commands and prohibitions of Allah, which is a prerequisite for entering Paradise.

ᴍᴜꜱɪᴄᴀʟ ᴛʜᴇᴍᴇ - ᴛʜᴇ ᴍᴏᴏɴ

月が綺麗ですね

“The moon is beautiful, isn't it?”

1. Moonlight Serenade - Glenn Miller & His Orchestra

Glenn Miller is always a favorite, jazz being a top favorite genre of mine. This song in particular, probably one of his most notable pieces of work, is a beautiful piece. No doubt this song is seen as romantic, with no overbearing brass as all sections, woodwinds and horns alike, fit together nicely in this song. I have always imaged this piece as the perfect background music for a couple, slowly dancing together and alone, illuminated by the light of the moon - A true "Moonlight Serenade". I do admit, it is on my bucket list to dance to this particular Glenn Miller song with a partner.

2. Clair de lune - Debussy

The name literally translating to moonlight in French, this piece embodies its name. As someone who played this on flute during their High School years as well as analyzed it from a compositional point, I can assure that it represents its namesake well. Debussy creates a surreal and dreamlike scene, the notes fluttering and soft just like the light that shines down. If you listen carefully, this dreamy, floating sound is caused due to the rhythmic ambiguity - there's a push and pull with the momentum of the notes. There are deliberate pauses as well, to give the listener time to reflect on each note and wallow in their solitude (I mean that in the best possible way). Perhaps its the musician within me, but I adore this piece whole heartedly.

3. Fly Me To The Moon - Frank Sinatra

Fly me to the moon Let me play among the stars Let me see what spring is like On a-Jupiter and Mars

In other words, hold my hand In other words, baby, kiss me

In other words - he's in love!

This upbeat hit is a classic and memorable song to everyone, generations within his time to now enjoying this song to the fullest. The song is a great example of how the moon can be used as a metaphor, Sinatra uses the title as a creative way to say his partner and lover that they take him to an euphoric state. It can also be interpreted as the stars and space being endless, just like love can feel. Overall, a wonderful song that gets everyone singing along.

4. D (Half Moon) by DEAN ft. Gaeko

It's quite clever the song title is represented by just the letter D, which looks like a half moon. Delving into one of my favorite artists and genres, DEAN is a popular R&B singer hailing from South Korea. The song translates and expresses the state of emptiness due to a lover’s absence. This can be backed by lyrics such as:

"In the place where you used to be I can see the night sky That half-full moon looks just like me right now"

"Love, love the stars Love, love the moon Nothing comes even close to half of you If only I had just half of you"

This is yet again another example of how the moon can represent love in all instances, and all phases. The soul filled song definitely creates the image of missing a partner.

5. Moon Chant - Marie Bruce

This one probably speaks to me the most, considering it connects to me on a spiritual level. The beginning of the song gives a sense of comfort and serenity, with the soft instrumentation and gentleness of it overall. The nature background sounds and flute in particular extenuate the spirituality of the song.

See the moon tonight Smiling down on me As I cast my circle of infinity When the moon shines bright Goddess calls to me And I dance in the circle of her love and I dance in the circle of her love

The lyrics give the Moon qualities that make it seem as an entity, a being, or deity. Just from the first verse, you can see Bruce writes about the Moon in a positive light - literally. The Moon radiates compassion and unconditional love. She gives guidance and healing grace. She watches over all that embrace her very being.

Eternal immortal the Goddess remains And the cycle of moonlight begins once again To the moon tonight Shining down on me

Even though these are only snippets of the song, the lyrics could not be any more true to me. Its a small look into what I believe, and how I view my faith. I'm not shy to say I follow one of the older religions, and proud to be polytheistic. The Moon has been seen as a deity for numerous cultures spreading throughout time - examples being indigenous cultures, Greek and Roman, etc. This isn't something new.

This song captivates who she is to me. And she is wonderful.

6. Sisters of The Moon - Fleetwood Mac

This song is a bit harder to interpret, but its a great song nevertheless. I've seen a few speculations on the song meaning, but overall I believe Stevie Nicks is talking about herself here.

"Intense silence As she walked in the room Her black robes trailing Sister of the moon"

"And black moons in those eyes of hers Made more sense to me Heavy persuasion"

"It was hard to breathe She was dark at the top of the stairs And she called to me"

To me, this is Stevie talking about herself - she sees herself as a scary, skinny, mess - a version of herself she did not recognize. Stevie looked at herself in a mirror and thought she was "fading away", as if she was practically gone. It was hard to recognize herself, hence why she made this darker, separate version of herself in this song. Perhaps she's describing her performance persona as well, and was realizing she was letting it define her. There is alot of speculation on the meaning of this song, but it gives that "darker" metaphorical comparison to the Moon, or something similar. Overall, it's a good song that I quite enjoy.

So, for reference, I’m only in the first part of my first play through of 3 Houses. Golden Deer, hell yeah. But while I have vague spoilers, it’s not much. Some how. I didn’t even mean to avoid spoilers, but here I am. Having dodged them like I’m dodging the plague…

Likely by just staying in my own little corner of things.

Anyway, this first part is for the logistics of my character. Beneath a Read More, just in case this gets long. And also, tagging @nougatships because she asked for info on my 3 houses Si, so you’re all suffering now.

So, Charlie is an 18-year-old that gets added to the Blue Lions class when Byl and Leth (AMAB and AFAB Respectfully), take control over the Black Eagles and Golden Deer. While both Manuela and Herriman were excited to not be home room teachers and have more time to themselves. Leaving it to a coin toss, Herriman becomes head of the Blue Lions for the year while Manuela can “spend more time on her infirmary duties”.

Strengths: Faith, Authority, Bow, Reason

Hidden Talent: Brawl

Weaknesses: Riding, Heavy Armor, Flying

Highest Stat Growth: Speed, Magic, Luck, Charm

Lowest Stat Growth: Defense, Resistance

 Personal Skill:

Wild Magic: When the unit attacks, there is a [Magic] Percent Chance to cast a random spell that they know during the attack. This spell does not count towards the used instances of the spells.

 Charlie has Supports with all the House Leaders. Epic Rivals to Lovers supports with Lorenz, Dorothea, and Felix. Very sweet romance supports with Ferdinand, Ashe, and Raphael. (Please note, as of right now I do not have a confirmed ship within 3 Houses. Possibly ones with Dimitri and maybe Felix. These supports are just based off of what I have gleamed from the characters so far in my play through and what I would want to see from a character like my self insert.)

 Recruiting Charlie would have no requirements for Byleth. However, in my created Canon-Verse, neither do. They say it is so they can avoid comments of nepotism.  However, in hypothetical game, they instead only look to Byleth and ask if they need help keeping people in line.

 Charlie has a unique class path available to them: the Minstrel Path.

Minstrel -> Bard -> Filid -> Ollamh

The class focuses upon supporting those around the character with attack and speed boosts through assists. It’s successive classes require ranks in Faith and Authority. Using training in any speed and magic focused classes allows for Charlie to keep on offensive par with the other units.

Beginner Class

Minstrel: A travelling performer who can help those around them.

Requires Authority D. Mastery Grants Charm +3, Clever Footwork Combat Art (Switches the places of the Minstrel and Target within one space)

Intermediate Class

Bard: A Learned Performer who can disarm opponents with their performances.

Requires Authority C, Faith D+. Class Ability is “Bard’s Duty” which grants a plus one to Defense and Resistance to targeted Friendly Unit for one round (Player and Enemy Phase). Mastery grants “Enchanting Performance”, which stops a target opponent from moving for one phase.

Advanced Class

Filid: A high Standing Bard who helps to control a battlefield with their song.

Requires Authority A, Faith B. Class Abilities are Heal, and White Tomefair. Mastery gives “Banshee’s Song” which lowers target opponent’s chance to hit by 10 percent for one round.

Master Calss

Ollamh: A Bard of the Highest Caliber, learned in Magics and History to aid the people.

Requires Authority A, Faith A, and Reason B. Class skills are Canto, white Magic Heal +10, and Fiendish Blow. Mastery unlocks the “Storm Singer’s Songskill, which allows Charlie to utilize their “Wild Magic” better and increases the chance to double [Magic] plus luck.

……….

I got really into this and will probably have to make the more character driven post tomorrow. Because whoops.

↬ even if we love each other, we don’t talk together.

date: roughly late september 2019 to january 2020?

location: ash’s studio

word count: 1,624 words, not counting lyrics.

summary: n/a.

notes: creative claims verification for “we don’t talk together” by deity and jaewon.

his album is coming out soon, but a successfully confirmed tracklist doesn’t mean rest for ash, not when discontent still nags him in the back of his mind. the sound for fatalism is one he likes, but putting it out in a form he isn’t embarrassed to stand behind and put his face on has been an uphill battle that’s sucked some of the joy out of it for him. the first few ideas he plays around with following the completion of his album are very clearly aiming for something different than the sound he’s been keeping himself within for the past year.

“we don’t talk together” isn’t the first song ash begins creating in the aftermath of all of his work on fatalism, but it is one of the firsts. he isn’t sure what number, even at the time, because guitar lines and one line melodies buried in his phone barely count as songs, but he has a sound and concept for the song before his third album comes out.

when he first starts working on the song, it’s tentatively for something he’ll prep for release with his voice over it. most of the songs he writes are still for himself and conceptually it makes sense for him — a tale of two lovers unable to properly communicate fits easily into his relationship troubles and heartbreak niche—, but he isn’t too deep into the process before he realizes it would fit someone else better than it would fit him. his voice over it doesn’t seem as natural as it should. it should go to someone with a more rhythmical voice is what he decides and before the melody is even completed, he adjusts the key to fit a prominent female voice better. he doesn’t have one particular voice in mind, but after the song is finished and he finds out some time later that it’s been given to yoona, he hypothesizes he spent so much time performing, practicing, and recording with her for the year that she may have been an inadvertent influence on him. that could very well be looking for serendipity where it doesn’t exist, though.

musically, it’s an understated throwback. he brings in elements of 90s hip hop he remembers from his childhood like the use of 808s in the bassline, but he doesn’t want it to feel too dated, so he brings a melodic side to the line instead of leaving it plodding out one note over and over again. he doesn’t want it to be classed as an attempt to cash on the return of 90s sounds as a trend. blame it on his stubborn artist’s pride, but he doesn’t want to fall in his climb to be taken seriously as a songwriter and producer already. relying on tried trends for no reason other than lack of inspiration would be the first step to his downfall. instead, he finds it more important to have a hint of nostalgia in every element of the song. he’s used minor keys and regretful vocals to elicit the feeling of nostalgia many times before, and he wants to try something new. arguably, he needs to if he doesn’t want to stagnate. he’s done that plenty emotionally as of late; he can do better in his professional life.

the last time he’d written a retro-tinged track, it’d been “free somebody”, a powerhouse vocal showcase, but this one is more about delivery than it is about showing off, or at least, that’s what he envisions as he’s composing it. the range of the melody doesn’t reach either extreme of the scale and if anyone ever sings it, they won’t be belting out high notes with a high energy dance routine, but that’s more comfortable for ash to write anyway. he doesn’t have anyone in particular in mind while writing it, so he figures he’ll try to sell it off if the final product is any good, but he hopes it ends up with someone who can keep the soul of it in tact.

the creation is mostly a smooth process, but once he chooses to go with a lower bpm, the hi-hats quickly feel tacky and derivative, almost satirical, which isn’t what he‘s going for, so he decides to increase the bpm. nostalgia in sound is what will help make it a sorrowful song despite the faster tempo than he’d initially had in mind.

the lyrics come to ash as he composes and arranges it instead of as a separate entity. what ends up serving as the title is also the first line that comes to him: we don’t talk together. the wording is deliberate, not we don’t talk or we don’t talk to each other, it’s we don’t talk together. it’s possible to talk to someone all the time and feel as though different conversations are happening on each end every time, and it’s a feeling ash has never really tried to put into words until now. it’s a phase his past relationships have fallen into more often than not, and as easy as it would be to blame it on the limitations such a fast and busy life put on the time available to talk to a significant other at all, it’s happened enough by now that ash should have learned how to handle it better if that’s the case.

communication isn’t something ash is good at, not face to face with another human being who could have a new hatred awaken for him with one wrong word from his lips. music is the way he expresses himself, but a heartfelt song can’t save his bond with someone he won’t be honest with.

My footsteps grow heavier And I can’t walk I can’t just let you go like this But I can’t open my mouth

would he be single now if he was better at opening his mouth and saying how he felt when his emotions strayed outside of the box of anything other than fairy book adoration and overwhelming, perfect love? he’d ended his last relationship so recently, but when he’d brought it to an end, it’d felt as though he’d seen it coming for a while, so why hadn’t he opened his mouth and said something earlier?

I know We love each other We don’t talk together I’m always yours Why don’t you? I don’t want to admit it Why don’t you? I can’t send you away

the first rendition of the chorus is written in one draft without revisions. the end product is a bit awkward with the way the korean and english fit together, but ash doesn’t mind. it’s disjointed, like the thoughts of someone who can’t sync their own feelings with their lover’s because they haven’t had the courage to ask how they’re feeling.

the third chorus changes some of the lyrics, and the altered version doesn’t take ash much time to write either. the song can’t go on and on without a journey taking place, and after he nails down the bridge and its short but insistent plea that love needs to be found again, the change in tone is a natural evolution of the song. the final chorus becomes an extension of that plea. there was no chance the song was ever going to end happily. ash wouldn’t know the first place to start if he wanted to tell a story about two people in love learning to reignite a lost spark instead of letting it fizzle out into a dark pile of soot.

it’s as hard to hold on as it is to let go.

as the lyrics build, the direction of the arrangement itself becomes more clear to ash. nostalgia isn’t the only element to take into consideration — he has to pay attention to making it a good song in addition to a relatablable one (for him, at the very least). most of the synths, in their bold but crackling state, aren’t added into the mix until the bulk of the lyrics have been written, and they pull the song out of its dreariness. if he wanted the song to be a dragging emotional ballad, he could have kept it for himself, so he throws in the drum machine and the build-up to the chorus to stay true to the 90s funk and hip hop roots that had first sprung to mind when he’d started on the song.

as the song draws on, monotony begins to set in, and while ash likes the metaphor, he draws back for the bridge to grab the ear that may have drifted away in the previous consistency.

he grows attached to (or perhaps, emotionally invested in) the song and its story, and if it hadn’t been so outside of the sound he sees for himself, ash may have kept it, but when he has a finished demo performed by two of bc’s producers he knows to be good demo singers, he sells it off.

he hears back about the song much sooner than he’d expected and when he gets the news that the song is being given to yoona and jaewon, ash cracks a smile in the dim light of his studio. he’s not sure he could have chosen better performers for the song himself, and though he hadn’t written the song for them, he’s pleased when he has the final vocal files in front of him to make one final version of the song with before it goes off for mixing.

he reserves most of the more intense vocal layering for yoona, while most of the layering on jaewon’s rap verse is only for vocal accents on his lines so that the switch up in flow and delivery on his verse stands out more as the piano track follows the drum line into the second chorus.

when ash hears the official version of the song, he picks up his phone to text yoona and jaewon that he has a good feeling about the song, but stops short of sending it.

he goes back to his work instead.

@fangedsadists cont. X: 

She hadn’t understood what or why Shin deserved being thrown in the cell, but not wishing for him to be punished alone, she stood up against Carla which resulted in her being thrown in a cell together with him. 

Though losing her balance after he had roughly tossed her inside the jail cell, Alice widened her eyes as she felt a pair of lips meet hers, her heart was pounding with those few close moments together, but while he had teased her for making contact with his, Alice had other problems.

 Her knee had ripped open due to falling onto the hard pavement of the floor. Bringing a hand to her mouth because they had just kissed, Alice grunted while tending to her leg. “Nngh...can you please stop berating me for just a second.” Falling over to her back, Alice winced while compressing her knee with her free hand. It stung terribly and she didn’t want to think about what Shin was feeling.

Walking over to him, she sat right next to him while poking his cheek as usual, “so... did your room become too dusty for you to live in? Or did someone take your usual napping spot?”

A shiver ran down her spine, but she snapped out of it the second she found herself standing in front Subaru’s door. “Subaru. It’s Alice. Open up. If you don’t get out here Reiji is going to come to nag the both of us later.”
