Lasting Embers pt12: Family

Jaune:*walking down the stairs* Well look who’s having a midnight snack.

*Yang and Yujin eating french toast*

Yang:*mouth full* Hi hun...

Yujin:*waving enthusiastically*

Jaune:I’m guessing the market run was a success?

Yujin:Not only that, mom told me some very interesting stories. You never told me you once used the sword of destruction to fight your old partner!

Jaune:*looks at Yang* You started with that story...?

Yang:It’s a depressing but hardcore story; I’m surprised you didn’t tell her yourself. You had a death match with the undead invincible warrior.

Jaune:First, she wasn’t undead. She was just all grimm like and horrifying. Second, somehow I knew that would love telling that story. So I saved it for you to tell.

Yujin:I always knew you were a pretty cool dad but hearing that story just makes you even cooler! *eyes as wide as her plate*

Yang:*taking this moment to sneak over to Ruby* Hey there lil sis; feeling rested?

Ruby:*laying on the couch* Yeah, it feels nice to sleep on good furniture after a decade.

Yang:Is that the only place you sle-ow!

Ruby:*flicking her forehead* I know what you’re implying and I still think it’s very weird that you would be okay with something like that. Like extremely weird.

Yang:*rubbing her forehead* Don’t you think I know that? It wouldn’t be the weirdest thing to happen to this family if we’re being truthful.

Ruby:Yang, why is my love life so important to you. I know things have been......difficult for me. However, I don’t think I’m desperate enough to sleep with my sister’s husband. That sounds like something out of Blake’s novels.

Yang:I know it’s just....if I’m being honest with myself I feel like I robbed you. You and Jaune have always had this special connection no one can match and frankly it always made me a little jealous.

Ruby:......

Yang:Also I can’t help but feel that if you had married him then you would’ve been spared this heart-ow! Stop thumping me.

Ruby:No matter how you slice it, Oscar’s death would’ve tore me up. Him being my husband was definitely fuel for that agony but I want to believe I would’ve mourned just as hard even if he wasn’t. Your intentions are weird but pure; I’ll be fine though.

Yang:*kisses her forehead* If my leader says she’s fine then I guess she’s fine. Do me a favor though and don’t lock your heart away. We both know Weiss is single.

Ruby:I’d be a little less concerned about my skills to meet someone and more concerned about your moves in bed. You’re ten years rusty and I know from that kiss you had with Jaune earlier that he’s been waiting for this night.

Yang:.....*red* That hadn’t crossed my mind. Shoot, that might have to wait. It would be weird it Yu-

Ruby:*standing up* Yujin let’s go get your sword before something happens to it. A grimm or person might take it.

Yujin:Crap, you’re right. All that work into making Tempered Steel and I forgot my poor baby in a fit of rage! *rushes out the door*

Ruby:I’ll keep her safe and you two....you know. *closes door*

Jaune:*looks at Yang*

Yang:Sooooo there’s still some french toast le-*caught off gaurd by a kiss before getting picked up*

Jaune:Not really what I want to eat right now.

Yang:J..just so you know, it’s been awhile for me. I’m probably out of practice. *embarrassed*

Jaune:You say that like I’m not. It’s been a long ten years. I don’t want to waste a another moment.

Yang:*crimson* Then by all means.... let’s go to bed. I am a little tired from today though.

Jaune:That’s fine *whispers* I’ll do all the work.

Yang:*laughs anxiously* So much for sleeping.

[Forest Clearing]

Yujin:......Was this a distraction?

Ruby:Yeah....

Yujin: I see. *closes eyes* Mom and dad are-

Ruby:Yeah.......

Yujin:*grabs her sword* Sigh, I shouldn’t have asked.

[the next morning]

Jaune:*peacfully sleeping in bed* Zzzz

Yang:*admiring him as she lays beside him* (who would’ve thought I’d miss the sound of him snoring? Sleeping without a care in the world.) *kisses his forehead*

Jaune:*smiles warmly in his sleep*

Yang:*smiles* I love you....

*knock knock knock*

Yang:Don’t tell me they were out all night? I feel kinda bad now. *puts on PJ’s and heads down stairs*

*Yujin and Ruby sleeping with headphones on*

Yang:Oh they’re inside. Wait, who’s knocking at five in the morning? *looks through the peep whole*

*A man stands there wearing a hooded cloak. Combat boots and leather gloves can be seen; a few strands of reddish hair visible*

Yang:Wait a sec, *opens the door* Adam?

Adam:*takes off the hood. Hair noticeably longer and laid down. A slight bang covers his scar. His horns have actually grown a few inches longer* Yang? You’re back?

Yang:You know, Jaune did mention you were gonna be showing up; I just can’t believe you’re actually here. *glaring slightly* not sure how I feel about it all things considered.

Adam:That’s fair; if anyone would’ve bothered to tell me you’d be back then I wouldn’t be here. Wait, is Blake...?

Yang:She’s alive and should be back in menagerie by now; or at least close to it.

Adam:Hmmm I guess I should’ve stayed back a day or two like Jacquelyn wanted. Oh well, no point in thinking about it now. *rubs the slight stubble on his chin*

Yang:*noticing a ring*..........How?

Adam:How what?

Yang:*shaking her head* Nothing! You uhh... look healthy. That hairstyle sucks though; you look a little emo.

Adam:Rude as ever I see. In case you’ve forgotten, I’m “dead” to the majority world. Walking around with a very iconic scar would raise some flags.

Yang:Still.....*movig his bang* you’re kinda fortunate you don’t use that eye to-

*yang staring at two blue eyes instead of one*

Yang:S...see? How on remnant do you have- *gears turning* how much luck do you have to have to get the chance to marry the one person who can open the vault to the relic of creation.

Adam:It was her idea; not mine. She insisted on doing it though.

Yang:You kept the scar though?

Adam:Fixing things is fine but, you shouldn’t forget that they got broken in the first place. This scar in a way started it all; only fitting it stays.

Yang:....Seeing you calm is jarring and uncomfortable. What happened to all that spite?

Adam:It lingers; there’s just not as much room for it as there used to be. Speaking of the relic of creation... *points to her arm* If it can make an eye then a limb should be easy.

Yang:*looking at it* It’s not like a need to get rid of this. Although, it would be nice to hug Yujin with two regular arms for change. I’ll think about it.

Adam:Speaking of the wild child, is she-

*Yang aggressively pushed to the side unexpectedly*

Yujin:*jumps through the door frame, arms stretched out excitedly* Sensei Adam!!!!

Adam:*side steps; Yujin face planting on the ground*

Yujin:*muffled* Why would you do that?

Adam:Last time I was over you lunged at with a sword trying to challenge me.

Yujin:*standing up pouting* I just wanted a hug.... *red*

Yang:*dying inside* (of all people)

Adam:*rubbing her head* You’ve grown like a weed. It has been almost a year since my last check in though.

Yujin:*ginning* Did you bring me a present!? You know my birthday was just yesterday right!?

Adam:I’m constantly traveling lightly and can’t be seen by regular people. Getting you a present would be difficult.

Yujin:Oh...*puts her head down* Huh? *sees a pendant shaped like the sun dangling in her peripheral*

Adam:*holding it* So I had this made secretly. It’s made out of a sun stone; Happy Birthday.

Yang:*eyes widen* (Is this even the same guy?)

Yujin:*Putting it on immediately* This is awesome! I can’t believe you did this. *hugs him*

Adam:*looking at Yang while trying to free his arms* You okay over there?

Yang:I....I’m coping. You being good with kid’s let alone my daughter is a reality I have to get used to.

Adam:If it makes you feel better, I don’t always have this type of luck when it comes to my kid. With all this is espionage I only really see them one or two months out of the yea-

Yang:YOU HAVE A KID!!!!!?

Yujin:I know right? *letting go* Honestly I’d rather have you tell me about her as a gift because he’s told me nothing about her!

Adam:Nope.

Yujin:Worth a shot *mumbles* a kiss on the cheek would’ve been a nice gift...

Adam:What did you say?

Yujin:*Blushing* Nothing!

Yang:Wait, are you referring to that one runt we found in that... *looks at Yujin* ...... *covers her ears* that slave and torture sight? Where you ended up a while back?

Adam:No I have a biological kid. I do count both of them as mine though. *trying not to smile*

Yang:Can I know about her?

Yujin*struggling and trying to lead lips* Aw come on! Why don’t I get to know? *ears finally uncovered*

Adam:Sorry kiddo, not that I don’t trust you to keep a secret but that sort of thing is best left for an actual encounter. I’m sure one day you get meet my desert rose.

Yujin:Desert rose? What does that mean?

Adam:You’ll figure it out one day; don’t think about too much.

Yujin:Fine.....Oh! Can I get one more present from you!?

Adam:I’m not teaching you a proper moonslice.

Yang:*shudders*

Yujin:Not that, but I still want to learn. I’m curious on who’s stronger these days, you or mom.

*both look at each other*

Yang:I’m done of you are; I miss punching you a bit. Those were simpler times.

Adam:You’re in PJ’s Yang.

Yang:Consider it a handicap. I’ve done a lot in ten years; I might be too much to handle.

Adam:*throws cloak off* Those are some bold words. I think you might’ve forgotten what this swordsman can do. *smirking*

*both looking at each other smugly. Tension in the air.*

Yujin:*hitting record on her scroll* Who would’ve thought being 15 was so great?

[inside]

Jaune:*hearing metal clashing outside* That didn’t take long. Pass the milk please.

Ruby:*making cereal* This will never change and the worst part is....

Jaune:It always ends in a draw.... *raises spoon* To nostalgia!

Ruby:*raises spoon* And the two of them at least not going for blood!

“Cheers!” *clink*

Dramatic way to the release of Lil Peep's album «Come Over When You’re Sober, Pt. 2»

It's been more than a year since the death of the popular and beloved emo rapper Gustav Ahr known as Lil Peep. His death was a great shock for many people, because no one could expect such a turn of events. He was a young singer who was on the wave of popularity, he had a big fan base and comfortable living conditions, but unfortunately, this elegant life ruined him - he died because of a drug overdose. 

A few months before the incident, Lil Peep released his debut album, which was called «Come Over When You’re Sober, Pt. 1» and got a good response from the audience. Based on the number «1» it could be assumed that the second part was planned, which in principle happened on November 9, 2018. But did the fans expect to hear it? Most of the album has been changed due to label requirements and some songs have references to original material.

On the cover of the album you can see a photo of the artist in a melancholic style, looking out the window and immersed in his thoughts, perhaps related to his depressive and hard life, as he believed. On the wall the album title and children's drawings of Gustav, which appear here is not accidental. However, only the author can convey the idea, and we can only guess what meaning he tried to put into it. Noteworthy is the fact that this cover is perfectly combined with the one we saw in the first part, because it was made during a photo shoot for this part. 

The first position in the album is a song called «Broken Smile (My All)», which immerses this composition in the atmosphere of gray colors, sadness is induced with every second, which is facilitated by the keyboard instrument, but later everything goes into a more active sound that wakes up different emotions in the listener. Based on the title of the song, it’s worth assuming that the person he loves has a broken smile and he gives her the image of a face of painful hopelessness. 

His lyrics were quite ironic, deadpan, touched the soul of the listener, and the second part of the album managed to convey the whole atmosphere: unhappy love, passion for drugs, problems with the perception of the world, sex without love feelings and so on. On «Leanin'» Peep sings about his depressive state, which haunts him on his way of life and about drug overdose, which once almost led him to death, what he actually told in an interview for Fast Food Music.

«Woke up surprised. Am I really alive? I was trying to die last night, survived suicide last night»

On «Cry Alone» Gustav sings that he has always felt injustice towards other people: what they are wearing, how they look, how much money they have and so on, while he himself was from a poor family. When he was a child, he noticed that rich children from expensive areas looked down on him, some of the parents even forbade to communicate with him. This motivated him to succeed, so that the children looked at him from below. Also here touched upon the theme of loneliness that he felt so among other people. 

«I hate everybody in my hometown. Tell the rich kids to look at me now»

In terms of producing this album is made at the highest level and a striking example is the song «Runaway», in the last seconds of which you can feel the sound of flowing water, creating a sense of presence next to the listener. To make such an effect is quite difficult, Smokeasac has done a great job, being able to keep the seasoned style of Gustav, characteristic of his genre.

However, we can't say that this is exactly what the artist was planning to release this album. According to his producer, the work on the album was completed before his death, but this raises some doubts due to the presence of songs such as «Life is Beautiful», which is a rework of the old version of the song «Life», and «Falling Down», in which X verse was recorded in the form of some reaction to the song «Sunlight On Your Skin», which Jasey listened, sang along and said his opinion about his creativity.  Posthumous releases are a demonstration of how people are trying to make money on his name. The emphasis on commercial sound, mass promo is all in the best traditions of greedy labels.

Despite the above-mentioned negative aspects of this release, the album turned out to be quite good: good lyrics, in which you can see a share of meaning, pleasant sound and a small sip of the very atmosphere of Gustav's music, which, unfortunately, will never happen again. Fans can only listen to his old songs and remember that once in the rap industry was such an unforgettable singer, clinging to the heart of his listeners

Excerpt from an interview for Montreality:

«Everything changes with time, like, you can’t predict where you’re gonna be next year. You have no idea, you know what I mean? Like there have been points when I’ve been at very vey very very low points, like, you know, shitty situation and horrible situations and then… My mom always tells me: time heals everything. And if it even takes 5 years later and you’re still feeling like “where the fuck am I?”, like you feel nothing’s happening, it’s gonna take more few years, you know what I mean. That shit does take time. In some situations, you know, it will eventually get better, things will get better, you know? And also you have to be grateful, for you never be ungrateful. It’s when people starting to be super, you know, like “ughh, my life, everything sucks" but you guys have shoes on your feet, these kids - they don’t have access to the water in the world, so pretty much yeah, there’s people fighting to survive so…live on for them, you know what I mean?»

Original material (clickable): Runaway, Life is Beautiful, Broken Smile (Unbreakable / Broken Smile), Sex with My Sex, 16 Lines (song / clip), Leanin’, White Girl, Sunlight on Your Skin
