In the weeks that followed you had become adept at moving through the dead. You had set up a little place closer in the city for yourself, complete with a crappy veggie garden on the roof of an apartment complex for yourself. Only Tomatoes, Onions, and Lettuce seemed to grow up there but it was better than nothing. You had built up a steady collection of books, turning one of the abandoned apartments into a library. You treated the zombie books as if they were comedy. ‘If only they knew’ you’d think looking at your wardrobe which consisted of some comfortable pieces to lounge around your hideout in and a bucket of cloths stewing in guts for when you went out. It proved beneficial to leave the home smelling freshly dead.

You were trying to build up a collection of canned food, meant to get you through the winter, but it wasn’t enough and with your last crop failing you knew it was back to foraging for at least the next three months. You had an old calendar broken up and spread across your floor. If you could fit seven cans on each page then you’d be fine...but seven cans was all you had, not including the dog food. The only good thing is that food was the only thing you had a hard time coming up with.

You were wandering through the streets again in your walker gear, your bag empty, aside from some old seed mix you took from the pet store. The snow had begun to fall making being discrete more difficult as the dead would often get stuck or fall over, which wasn’t an option for you. ‘Maybe when it gets heavy I can wear my normal clothes.’ you thought.

It was no use, the sun was setting, and traveling deeper into town would prove a fruitless effort if you got caught by the dead. You backtracked to a bank. The doors were broken and bloodied and ripped sleeping bags lined the ground, but what you came here for was the boards on the windows. You ripped some filling from a sleeping bag, shoving it into your ruck-sack, and moved to the windows.

You got the first board down but the click of a gun stopped your movements. “Turn around. Slowly” a man with a southern accent spoke. You did as he said, turning around with your hands raised. To say you were surprised would be an understatement. Before you stood Rick Grimes, along with a man with a crossbow and a woman with dark hair pulled into a tight pony, pointing a familiar rifle at you.

“Hey...Rick was it?” you nodded to the woman “Glad to see you got some use out of that rifle.” It took a moment for it to dawn on Rick who you were, at which he couldn’t contain his chuckle at your overly friendly attitude.

“I didn’t recognise you with all that filth on your face, then again I never got your name.”

“I have reasons to prefer it that way,” you smiled at him.

“Look, can you leave those blanks? We need to camp here for the night.” He asked, not putting his gun down, but you didn’t judge.

“I need the wood,”

“Let’s just kill her” the man spoke up, stepping closer then visually wincing. You looked him over quickly and noticed his leg was bleeding badly.

“Your hurt,” you spoke, locking eyes with the man. After a glance over the rest of them, it seemed they had been through a war. Maybe that’s why they decided to stay “I can help with that if you let me. I have a safe house not too far from here.” you said, nodding to the man behind Rick. “In return you guys just gotta help me carry up some planks to make a fire.”

“No” the woman behind Rick spoke.

“Yes,” Rick interjected. He turned to his group, his back to you which seemed to make them trail their weapons on your head. You took a step back for their sake. “If she says she can patch Daryl up then she can.”

“Why do you trust her?” the woman asked, not taking her eyes or aim off of you for a second.

“It’s a long story,” he whispered “But we’re cold and exposed out here. So I say we take her up on the offer.”

“Can I go back to getting my wood now?” you interrupted them. “It’s getting late and it’s hard to navigate in the dark”

“Yeah,” Rick said, turning back to you. You turned and started pulling the planks off the windows, now with Rick’s help. The other two took a moment to join you too, pulling a couple planks off the wall. Between yourself and Rick you had a few days worth of wood, while the woman was busy helping the second man who was limping. You lead them down to an old red-brick building, leading them to the entrance to the basement.

“It’s ten flours up,” you said, unlocking the gate and motioning the group to go down. “You’ll sleep like babies after.” Once inside the planks were offloaded onto you to carry the second man up the floors. Once on your floor, you dropped the planks onto the ground, finding an oil-lamp in the moonlight and turning it on. The group looked even more exhausted now. You held out the lamp to Rick and nodded to the door to your left. “My bed’s in there. Get him laid out. I’ll be on the roof.” he took the lamp from you. You grabbed two planks and walked past them “Don’t take my food there’s not enough” you called as you passed them.

You opened up the roof, finding what was left of your garden, some plastic boxes collecting snow, and a fire pit you had jerry-rigged out of a sheet of metal, an old lamp, and a punch of wire hangers twirled to suspend a pot that had filled with snow. You grabbed the hatchet you had found from it’s space by the door and got the filling from your bag and started a fire using a lighter. As it burned you went back to the entrance way to the roof, where you kept the bucket of guts for your walker gear and a small cupboard with clean clothes in it and some pieces of cloth. By the time you had peeled off the layers, the snow had turned to water. You poured some out into a neighbouring pot full of snow, cooling it.

As you were washing the gunk off your skin and out of your hair you heard the door open. It was the woman. “I’m so sorry” she yelped, closing the door.

“What is it?” you yelled just before she closed it again.

“We were wondering what was taking you” she answered. “You didn’t mention you were bathing.” you wiped the blood from your arms, your skin reacting to the sudden heat and cold.

“There’s a pot on the stove in my kitchen. Can you bring it up?” you called. She replied positively before fully closing the door. By the time she came back you were fully clean and redressed in some red pants, a black shirt, a yellow hoodie, and a pair of slip-on shoes you’d designated as your house shoes. She held the pot from behind the door, you walked over and opened the door, finding her with her eyes closed. “I’m dressed,” you said, taking the pot. You got some snow from the bins and emptied the last of the water into the new pot. You picked it up.

“I’m Tara, by the way” she spoke up as you walked back towards her.

“I didn’t ask” you replied, walking past her “close the door” you were down one flight of stairs with her behind you when you stopped short, looking over your shoulder. “Sorry, it’s just...safer to not exchange names.” Tara nodded at you

“No, I get it.” she smiled at you meekly. The two of you continued down the stairs. “How do you know Rick?”

“I tried to kill him,” you said plainly, pushing your door open to see Rick and the other man, now sitting on the couch. “I thought I told you the bed.” You said, putting the pot of hot water on the coffee table. “Where’s the wound?”

“His calf,” Rick replied, watching you walk into the kitchen. You threw open one of the presses and to the shock of the other three, it was over flowing with medical supplies. You grabbed a familiar first-aid kid, a bottle of antibiotics, some bandage, and gauze.

“Great. Take off your pants.” You unintentionally slammed the doors closed “Or just roll up the leg of your jeans. Either way, I need a look at it.” The man bent over and rolled up the jean leg.

“Where did you find all that stuff?” Rick asked. You picked up the man’s leg and placed it on the coffee table, shoving the pant leg up.

“Around” you replied as you cleaned the matted blood from the wound. It was a rather deep cut and it didn’t look good. “You’re gonna need stitches, and I’m gonna have to open it up more.”

“The hell you mean open it up more!” The man shouted

“To make sure it’s clean, numb-nuts. How’d you get this?”

“We jumped out of an office window” Tara spoke up. “Daryl got caught on the fire escape.” Now that made you laugh. That fragile-looking man, that baby-faced girl, and this rough-looking redneck is the one that gets hurt.

“Old steal.” you signed dramatically “I gotta clean it properly.” you spoke, opening the first aid kit to show it full of medical tools. Mainly single-use tweezers and scissors. You took some scissors and cut up some gauze, “It’s gonna hurt. Need a towel to bite on?” you asked, using a pair of tweezers to pick up the gaze and soak it in the steaming water.

“Fuck you” Daryl cursed. You positioned your free hand over the wound, pushing it open slightly, causing him to wince.

“As you wish” you cut back before focusing on cleaning the wound. He took it like a champ and you had him bandaged in no time. You dumped the water out the window when you were done. You laughed to yourself as it hit a walker and he grumbled up at you. You didn’t pay attention to their conversation until they pulled you into it.

“How many walkers have you killed?” Rick called over to you. You closed the window and walked back into the sitting room of the apartment,

“Why?”

“Please just answer the question,” Rick spoke quietly. You leaned against a hall and took a deep breath

“I don’t know... a lot”

“How many people have you killed?” he asked. You thought on it a moment and remembered the lady you sent a walker on back at Sanctuary

“One”

“Why?”

“She tried to kill me first”

The three of them looked amongst themselves as if reading each other’s minds. “We have a place-”

“No” you stopped Rick, knowing what was coming next. “I am not going to your camp, and you're not staying here. Tomorrow morning you will leave, and I will stay,” you spoke firmly

“It’s not a camp,” Tara spoke up from where she was sitting on the couch next to Daryl. “It’s a community. We have walls.”

“I’m not going” you spoke slowly, making sure every word was heard. You pushed off the wall and walked past the living area towards your bedroom. “Next door is my library. There’s another bed and a couch. Just don’t take my shit.” you closed the door and locked it for good measure. ‘They’ll take my supplies’ you thought as you crawled into bed, pulling the blankets as closely around you as possible, ‘but they won’t take me’.

The following morning you woke to see your patient out cold on your couch, with his friends on the floor covered in the blankets from the library. It was still dark out, as expected in the winter season, but you still wanted them gone. You walked past him to your door, remembering you’d left your bag on the roof. Everything up there was still in its place too.

Back in your apartment, you prepared a wonderful breakfast; half a can of soup, and some seed mix in a bowl. It tasted like crap but you knew it would fill you for the next while. “Thought you said there was no food” Daryl piped up from the couch. You turned your back to him.

“Not enough for more people” you retorted, slurping down your cold soupy-seedy mix.

“How long have you been out here?” He asked.

“Some time” you said through gulps

“Where were you before this?”

“Someplace else” you snapped, scraping the last of the mix into your mouth. Silence fell for a moment.

“Why did you help us?” he asked. You looked down into the old metal sink as if it had the answers. You used to do the same with the neck of a vodka bottle at sanctuary. They never had the answers. ‘Old soldiers don’t forget their training?’ you thought

“I don’t know” is what you said.

The other two woke not long after. Rick looked at your cabinet than at you before approaching you. Before he could speak you opened it up and pulled out two changes of bandages. “For Daryl,” you said, “Now get out.”

Three days later you were coming back to your home from another run, finding some clothes and chocolate powder but no food. With the seeds, you could stretch your rations to another week but it was still tight. That was when you saw a small pile of cans in front of your door. Eight in total. Soups, peas, beans, apple sauce. Among the cans, you found a small note. ‘From Alexandria’ it read. You thought of the ramifications that might have to your security and how that they’ll probably pay a price for not having enough food for your father this week, then one of the tins read /FAVOURITE SOUP/ and your stomach won over, demanding you to start a fire this minute and warm that can of delicious right up!

You were grateful for the first time. Alarmed the second time. Tired of it by the third time. They would come every week with cans and tins of food. When you expected the next delivery ‘from Alexandra’ you stayed home, sitting on the floor watching the door. The sun had been up a while and you were certain they weren’t coming when you heard heavy steps, followed by the sound of tin knocking off each other. You opened the door quickly, startling the delivery man in the process.

“Howdy, Bow Boy” you spoke to Daryl who had the bow pointed at your face. “What’re you doing?” Daryl slid his crossbow back into place.

“ugh...Feeding ya?” he said, a little embarrassed about getting caught. “I figured you’d be out, scavenging.”

“I usually am but some homeless-looking guy keeps bringing me food” you smiled sarcastically.

“Well he sounds like a gentleman,” he said, picking up the cans and offering one to you.

“Why are you doing this?” you asked, closing your eyes in annoyance.

“You need it,” he spoke plainly. You pushed your door open and motioned for him to follow.

“Put the cans on the coffee table” you said, going to your medical supplies and pulling some things out and placing them on the counter. “I am not taking any more charity. We are going to trade.” He looked over what you were pulling out.

“Are you sure?” he asked. You nodded sternly.

“You ain’t leaving me short, so I ain’t gonna leave you short. That’s the terms.” you held out your hand to him. “Deal?”

You parted with a lot of medical supplies, some soaps, two blankets, and a box of cutlery. You would have given him more but he couldn’t fit any more in his bag. You’d just have to find him better stuff next time.

Riding into the Sanctuary on his bike, Daryl was greeted by some saviours. He emptied his bag, claiming to have found the pieces. Everyone was overjoyed at the supplies and the fresh blankets went to Rodney and his new-born. Heading back to his quarters he was approached by Lauren. “Daryl! Daryl, it happened again. Some asshole robbed some of our cans”

Cliffhanger – (noun) – a melodramatic or adventure serial in which each installment ends in suspense in order to interest the reader or viewer in the next installment.

It’s also a word that you could say sums up this week in the WWE. Whether it be what will happen next between Seth Rollins/Kevin Owens and the Authors of Pain or an RKO to AJ Styles on RAW, or a triple-threat treat ending things on NXT or Bray Wyatt’s kidnapping of Daniel Bryan leading to the bizarre intrusion into The Miz’s family, the next step is left in the balance.

Congratulations, @AJStylesOrg. Your victory prize tonight is…an #RKOOuttaNowhere!#RAW @RandyOrton pic.twitter.com/AoovesucIM

It’s a refreshing change in the WWE’s storytelling to let things play out over several weeks. A little breathing room brings out the mystery akin to the old days of pro wrestling where everything didn’t need to be explained in one episode because the attention span of the audience was only 30 seconds long. It’s also a building block to get us to come back week after week.

Take for instance the Daniel Bryan vs. The Fiend/Bray Wyatt storyline. I think we all expected this week’s Smackdown to just move into the announcement of Bryan vs. The Fiend for another WWE Universal Title match after The Fiend kidnapped him at the end of last week’s episode.

Cliffhanger time! Instead, we get a Firefly Fun House on Miz TV edition where Wyatt reminds us that Bryan was part of his family and that he won’t come out to play at the TLC PPV. Instead, we get a challenge for The Miz to play and when he won’t, Wyatt threatens his family. Brilliant.

So, after a backstage attack, will The Miz accept a match with The Fiend at TLC and just how Bryan play into it? How will he look when he returns? Will he be with Bray or against him?

Intrigue. Emotion. Drama. Exactly what you need for a good cliffhanger.

STAR OF THE WEEK:

Cleanin' up the nasties in no time.

It would be easy to give it again to an NXT star like Keith Lee or Rhea Ripley, but we’re going another route this week. Our star of the week goes to LACEY EVANS. It’s not because she dominated this week. It’s because she gave us a reason to like her. She gave us a reason to care. She gave us a reason to invest in her. By standing up to Sasha Banks as the mother of her 6-year old daughter, by standing up as a Marine and by showing it to us while keeping a little of that “nasty” persona, Evans did more to further her character than any match could do. Well done, Lacey!

RAW

RESULTS

Kevin Owens defeated Lashley (DQ when Authors of Pain interfere)

Drew McIntyre defeated Akira Tozawa

Aleister Black defeated Tony Nese

Andrade defeated Eric Young

Kyle Busch wins 24/7 Championship over R-Truth

Erick Rowan defeated No Way Jose

The Kabuki Warriors defeated Charlotte

The Viking Raiders defeated Mark Sterling & Mitchell Lyons

The OC defeated Rey Mysterio, Ricochet, & Humberto Carrillo

What we loved:

The KO Show – Absolutely loved the spotlight that Kevin Owens is getting on Monday nights! Arguably one of the WWE’s best on the mic these days, Owens is working to thwart Seth Rollins and the AOP while interjecting himself into the Lana/Rusev/Lashley feud. Entertaining doesn’t even begin to start the back and forth between KO and Lana. Including the effort at Starrcade, it’s made me gain back my interest in Rusev vs. Lashley.

Kyle Busch wins the 24/7 title – Does anything else need to be said?!

Kabuki Warriors – Sure, the Warriors should win a 2-on-1 handicap match against The Queen, Charlotte Flair. But, in the match of the night, we get the Women’s Tag Team Champions win it with an InSane flying elbow from Kairi Sane off the top rope onto Flair while she’s got Asuka in a figure-eight leglock! Great visual.

Lana – I’m suing! I’m suing! I’m suuuuuuiiiiiinnnnnngggggg! Her dramatics (and green dress to boot) after Bobby Lashley and herself were arrested for “assaulting” local police authorities was hysterical.

What we hated:

RAW Tag Team Championship – Can we get some challengers and a storyline? I get that they want to show The Viking Raiders as strong champs, but squash match after squash match isn’t helping them. They need to face, challenge and beat teams like The OC (possibly at TLC maybe).

NXT

RESULTS

Killian Dain defeated Pete Dunne

Shayna Baszler defeated Xia Li (Submission)

The Forgotten Sons vs. Adrian Alanis and Leon Ruff

Matt Riddle defeated Kassius Ohno

KUSHIDA defeated Cameron Grimes

Dominik Dijakovic, Keith Lee, and Tommaso Ciampa defeated The Undisputed Era

What we loved:

Everything @RealKeithLee does is a gift to the internet. 'Tis the season, @FinnBalor… #WWENXT pic.twitter.com/rib8JLdAdi

Star makers – The continued rise of Keith Lee and Rhea Ripley is awesome! Lee not only is becoming THE big man in NXT, but now he’s worked his way into a possible NXT Championship match if he can defeat Tommaso Ciampa and Finn Balor on the next episode of NXT. As for Ripley, in addition to helping Mia Yim get some measure of revenge on Dakota Kai, Ripley gets a title shot herself against Shayna Baszler on December 18th after bearing the brunt of a beatdown from Baszler and her crew. The skies the limit for these two!

.@itsLioRush puts the NXT Cruiserweight Title on the line against @AngelGarzaWwe NEXT WEEK on #WWENXT. pic.twitter.com/pCwPtta7Xw

— WWE NXT (@WWENXT) December 5, 2019

Lio vs. Angel – We said a couple of weeks ago that we hoped the first match between NXT Cruiserweight Champion Lio Rush and Angel Garza was only the start of a feud. We get our wish now as the two are set for a rematch that hopefully will build on the personal involvement of Rush’s wife.

The backstory – Love that NXT is taking the next step in trying to get some of the lesser stars of the company over with simple vignettes that make us care about them more than just in the ring. In bringing back KUSHIDA and Kassius Ohno with a setup, it makes the in-ring more of a payoff.

Match of the night – Dain vs. Dunne – What a way to start the show! What a way to end a match. With a sleeper hold firmly in place on the top rope by Pete Dunne, Killian Dane powers back to pin Dunne for the duke! Well-paced, physical and set the tone for another wonderful night of wrestling from Full Sail.

Welcome back Mauro – After taking a shot from Corey Graves on Twitter for his NXT Takeover: WarGames work and missing Survivor Series plus last week’s episode of NXT, it’s awesome to not only have Mauro Ranallo back on TV, but to start the entire show. He’s a one-man treat giving not only play-by-play but also some commentary along the way. If I’m WWE, I’d give him a shot to do a show by himself or just with one other analyst. He’s that damn good!

What we hated:

The ambiance – I’m going to keep harping on it until they move an NXT out of Full Sail. The crowd just doesn’t measure up to the in-ring product. It does make an impact on watching at home. It’s an obvious upgrade the WWE and NXT came make to take on AEW, who’s look and feel does out do NXT each week even though you can argue that NXT delivers the better in-ring show.

SMACKDOWN

RESULTS

Alexa Bliss defeated Mandy Rose

Smackdown Tag Team Title #1 Contender’s Elimination Match: The Revival defeated Ali & Chad Gable, Lucha House Party, & Heavy Machinery

Lacey Evans defeated Haley Jones

Roman Reigns defeated Dolph Ziggler

What we loved:

FAMILY – Bray Wyatt wants to be part of The Miz’s family. As we’ve stated above, a brilliant and diabolical plot is now unleashed by Wyatt to get The Miz to play with him at TLC after kidnapping Daniel Bryan and making him unavailable to play. Very intrigued to see what the next step is in this one.

@IAmEliasWWE sings the difference between #TheAnimal and @WWEMaverick. #SmackDown @DanaBrookeWWE pic.twitter.com/xc8gvATvZM

— WWE (@WWEIndia) December 7, 2019

Elias and Dana Brooke – Forthe second straight week, we get an Elias sighting as Drake Maverick tries to get his swerve on with Dana Brooke. With a witty, whimsical rib, Elias not only mocks Maverick in song, but also in the ring, letting Brooke get the final say in embarrassing him with the “pin.”

Lacey Evans – see star of the week above.

What we hated:

King Corbin vs. Roman Reigns – Not for obvious reasons, but for the details. Before the show on social media, we get the announcement that it’s Corbin vs. Reigns in a TLC match at the PPV. Why? No explanation. Then, after a stellar match with Dolph Ziggler, Reigns gets handcuffed to the ring post and covered in dog food. Why? We get the obvious reference to Reigns as “The Big Dog,” but shouldn’t this all lead to a dog collar match instead of a TLC match? Makes no sense.

Who’s under the ring – During the Reigns beatdown at the end of Smackdown, we see someone holding Reigns’ leg from under the ring. Who is it? No reveal even with Ziggler and Corbin searching under the ring for the dog food. Huh?!

Parting thought – Was looking forward to Arrow star Stephen Amell on WWE Backstage, but sickness forced a no-show. It would’ve been interesting to see if Renee Young and crew would press Amell about his involvement outside of WWE with Ring of Honor and All Elite Wrestling as he is an honorary member of The Elite. Maybe he’ll reschedule for this week’s show when CM Punk returns!

Welcome back John Morrison!

take back what you said --*

so… typically i am All About the Fluff. however, i’ve evidently decided to majorly say /fuck that/ because i’m all about the angst right now. so be aware that there’s some angst etc gonna be happening here, along with a lot of screaming and probably no smutty sex (though past/AU things will be hella gr8 too)

go read atticus’s blurb, because it has…. all the necessary info about the ex in it. they had some kids (who are now age twenty-one, eighteen, sixteen, and thirteen — the younger two are a boy and a girl, and the older twos’ genders are open because they’re playable characters and i’ll be requesting them!!!) and got married (after they found out they were pregnant with their second). they got divorced when their oldest was thirteen because they got into a fight and he raised a hand to her (never actually physically hurt her) and he got the hell outta dodge after the divorce papers were signed.

he’s been gone for eight years, moved off to a small town outside of jackson, mississippi. i figure that, for the longest time, she kept the kids away from him??? maybe like… "once you’re old enough you can decide if you want to speak to your asshole father." etc. i would love it if one of them (of the older two) came to live with him for a summer or s/t, just because they didn’t get along well with their mom. because drama y’all

but now he’s back in NOLA (because of a woman, but he wouldn’t tell anyone that, of course not) but… also with a daughter in tow??? a two year old, which means that his kids have a half sibling — gasp.

i kind of like the idea that she’s remarried and happy, but i also am trash and love the idea that she’s just bounced from one shitty guy to another, and she’s kinda stuck with the whole "i feel like i can’t do better for myself" mentality (spoiler alert — i want you to do better for her!!!).

i… am super open with all of this. she should be his age (or even a year older!!!) because he got her pregnant when he was fifteen. so 36-38 for her age, and i don’t really have an occupation in mind for her??? i could definitely see her as being a nurse of some sort, though? if you want her to have an additional kid or two from another guy, i wouldn’t be super opposed to it, but i realllllly like the idea of her not having any more kids other than the four with him.

i don’t really know who i want face claim wise??? i guess it kinda depends on age. i will say, though, that she should be caucasian, because the faces i picked for their younger kids are millie bobby brown and aj mitchell (they’re NPCs and i’m trash for having a visual on the younger kids). some suggestions, though, are: genevieve cortese/padalecki, katheryn winnick (combine it with my family request that’s here), sarah michelle gellar, rachael taylor, hilarie burton, sophia bush, lily rabe, bethany joy lenz, jaimie alexander, rachel mcadams, bridget regan, adrianne palicki, ali larter, jennifer morrison, liza weil…… as you can tell i’m super open lmaoooo

i just want some drama and angst and yelling and fighting and him trying to apologize and the awkwardness of him having another kid and??? really it’s just some hella plotting and you can do whatever you want with her outside of this (and i’ll gladly plot my other characters with her, especially if you use katheryn bc #twinthings) including siblings and stuff!!! ... these two won’t get back together unless some insane act of god happens, so this is all just plot-building n stuff~*

and i’m just gonna go ahead and request the kids here too as well? they’re super open, as long as they can pass as jared’s kid and the kid of someone above — i’ll throw some suggestions here, but i am open to female or male for either (or nb, though i’m not gonna suggest faces there but know i’m open to it)… just get @ me ok names are open too but i just kinda threw in names for the younger two, so play off that pls

female faces — natalia dyer (!!!! pls), olivia cooke, laura marano, liana liberato, maia mitchell, maisie williams, emily robinson, isabelle fuhrman, madison beer, maggie lindemann

male faces — colin ford (!!! pls), shawn mendes, brandon flynn, alex wolff, nat wolff, bradley steven perry, gavin maccintosh, tanner buchanan, uriah shelton, mateus ward, jake short, nick robinson

first grimes/last 36-38 + occupation + face + open

atticus grimes 36 + mechanic + jared padalecki + hales

first grimes 21 + occupation + face + open

first grimes 18 + occupation + face + open

kyle grimes 16 + student + aj mitchell + npc

meghan grimes 13 + student + millie bobby brown + npc

hiya! i notice you tag a lot of your posts with 'nora, sloane, etc.' i understand these are characters for a story you're doing. i'm curious: what's the story about?

ok ! well @turnandchasethewind (olivia) & i have been working on the sketches for this show for like. a Long time lmao it has as most projects do grown & changed & become something entirely its own & i think it’s really awesome & lovely & am rly rly jazzed for it to move forward one day

anyway the working title for it is called views, & it basically follows sloane & nora, best friends who live & work in toronto. they met when they were 18/19 at a catering gig (terrible) & theyre the kind of love that is this epic soft quiet fun powerful love between female friends. they’re young & they’re a little lost always, & the world hurts, but like. they’re Good. the current storyline begins when they’re in their early/mid-twenties & nora meets ridley, who becomes her girlfriend. ridley is rly rly lovely & beautiful & whip smart & v kind & sloane hates her which is altogether mostly funny but a little sad

27th Sónar Barcelona: 18.19.20 June 2020 – The 2020 edition brings together heroes of contemporary clubbing, avant-garde electronica and emerging talents of trap and urban rhythms from around the planet.

This is Sónar 2020

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

Sónar 2020 will feature the most eagerly awaited electronic shows of the year by The Chemical Brothers. They will once again reign at Sónar introducing their new and spectacular immersive audiovisual show created together with their regular collaborator, Adam Smith, in which Tom Rowlands and Ed Simons will intersperse their legendary hits with those of their ninth album, “No Geography”, unanimously acknowledged by the critics as one of the most solid of their entire career.

A worldwide exclusive in 2020 only at Sónar, French electronic epic duo THE BLAZE will play their live show at SonarClub; another major highlight is the spectacular show by Swedish progressive house dj and producer Eric Prydz, as well as the circular hi-fi mobile sound system DESPACIO, led by luxury selectors James Murphy and 2manydjs, will return to the festival, this time at Sónar by Night in a non-stop 6-hour sets on Friday and Saturday in the SonarCar stage.

The festival brings together again DJ’s from the first international division such as Carl Cox, Richie Hawtin, Laurent Garnier, Helena Hauff, Âme, Joy Orbison, Charlotte de Witte, Avalon Emerson, 2manydjs or The Black Madonna closing Sónar by Night. Not to mention the cosmic and multidisciplinary project Lost Souls Of Saturn, which unites the internationally beloved tech house DJ, Seth Troxler, with the respected New York sound engineer Phil Moffa.

Also present will be Vancouver sound Jayda G, with house, funk and disco vibes; the fantastic Jyoty, a London underground star, firing off hip hop, grime, dancehall and r&b hits; veteran DJ Marcelle, a cult DJ among dance gourmets in Europe; Or:la, growing with every new release and moving between the best of techno and bass music; Manara, with her mix of grime with Bollywood and punjabi sounds; or Shanti Celeste, one of the most active presences of the current British electronic scene, forming a tandem with another of the greats of the UK scene, Midland.

PREMIERES, TECH SHOWS, HOUSE AND AVANT-GARDE TECHNO

2020 will be the year of Arca’s leap to Sónar by Night. The most radically innovative electronic artist today presents an exclusive live show with an overwhelming sound, traversing noise to melody and from euphoria to tears, premiering her longed-for new album and recreating unreleased versions of her repertoire.

Other exciting premieres or exclusives will be the long-awaited return of Telefon Tel Aviv, the new shows of Mura Masa, one of the most transformative artists on the current British scene, or American art-rock supergroup Battles, both with their new albums. Electronic emo-folk duo Howling, the return of TNGHT (tandem formed by Hudson Mohawake and Lunice), the provocative Sega Bodega, with a new synthetic pop album or the duo Giant Swan, with their abrasive physical techno-punk live.

The grand sound, visual and technological show by Max Cooper, who will perform his latest work “Yearning For The Infinite” will be performed within the colossal dimensions of SonarClub, the biggest stage at Sónar by Night. Koreless comes back with a fascinating visual show created together with his usual collaborator, the renowned Emmanuel Biard; and Ryochi Kurokawa will introduce “Subassemblies”, an audiovisual show in which the Japanese genius uses 3D laser-scanned data and nature images to talk about the destruction of the environment by humans.

Sónar 2020 will be an exceptional occasion to explore the new wave of avant-garde house and techno DJs: alongside the aforementioned Helena Hauff and Charlotte de Witte, there will be Joy Orbison, Bulgarian king of the live edits KiNK, half of the German duo Âme, the missing link between techno and reggaeton DJ Python, the new face of big room techno DJ ANNA (recently signed to Richie Hawtin’s label), the relentlessly innovative DJ and producer Avalon Emerson and the up and coming Swedish talent La Fleur.

RAP, TRAP & GLOBAL BEATS

Sónar explores and stages for another year the best in the British grime and hip hop, a sound in permanent evolution. Four of its most outstanding representatives will be performing at Sónar by Night.

This year the festival will feature the British rappers of the moment: Dave (revelation of 2019 and winner of the prestigious Mercury Prize) and AJ Tracey, the brilliant rhymer and author of the catchy hit ‘Ladbroke Grove’. From the dark side of rap and grime, Skepta and Stormzy collaborator and rising star of UK drill, Headie One, who will be preceded by the dj set of Conducta, one of the kings of the new UK garage revival..

Once again, Sónar serves as a huge platform for the most advanced and avant-garde sounds being created around the world today, introducing more than 20 nationalities, many of which focus on hip hop beats, dancehall and reggaeton updates, trap derivatives, new African rhythms, and hybrids of contemporary pop and r&b.

Charismatic New York MC Princess Nokia comes back to the festival, presenting her brand new album at the SonarVillage by Estrella Damm stage. The headlines of global sounds will be written by by Uruguayan Lechuga Zafiro, with a sound between grime and dembow; Brazilian Badsista, firing off funk and digital dancehall hits; and the brilliant Kelman Duran, a Dominican living in Los Angeles, taking reggaeton to experimental grounds. In a similar vein will be Venus X, the head of the legendary New York parties GHE20G0TH1K.

From Africa, the festival will host Ugandans Nihiloxica, with their frenetic polyrhythm and the duo MC Yallah & Debmaster, with their abrasive and close to grime sound. Congolese Lous and The Yakuza, mixing Afrotrap and pop; and the Palestinian dj Sama’, with her beats and hypnotic rhythms for the track will also see their debut in Spain.

SÓNAR BY DAY: FUNK, DISCO, HOUSE AND ELECTRONIC POP

The SonarVillage by Estrella Damm stage at Sónar by Day is the perfect place to enjoy Lindstrøm’s music; the wizard of Scandinavian cosmic disco. The same stage will host the live performance of the Italian duo Nu Guinea, top representatives of Napoli Sound.

The most radiant and melodic house will be excellently represented by the Canadian Project Pablo and the French Folamour, both growing very fast with every step they take, and offering contemporary dance sets at SonarLab and SonarVillage respectively. In a similar vein, the renowned Dutch dj Job Jobse, a specialist in mixing house from any era with other styles, from italodisc to trance and 21st century funk, will also be present.

The legendary Sónar by Day stage will also be the stage for the American Channel Tres live show, with their irresistible funk-house-pop; and for the French duo Polo & Pan, with their euphoric sound that equally accommodates Eurodisco and tropical pop.

THE NEW WAVE OF NATIONAL TALENT TAKES OVER SONARXS AND SÓNAR BY DAY.

At Sónar by Day the SonarXS stage grows and relocates, focusing on promoting and disseminating the most exciting and emerging national scene, with a new batch of artists such as Morad, the new urban sensation from L’Hospitalet; Kaydy Cain (ex PXXR GVNG playing their street trap hits adapted to a Latin salsa orchestra); Chenta Tsai-Baobae (new project by Putochinomaricón); and others like Afrojuice 195, Chico Blanco, Ms Nina or Califato ¾ and their flamenco rave.

Other National exclusive shows include two other absolute premieres at the festival. One of them will be presented by Niño de Elche with his new project which revise the sound legacy of José Val del Omar, experimental filmmaker and mystical genius, together with three of the most relevant young artists of the state electronic scene: Mans O, Shelly and Nara Is Neus. For their part, the duo Maria Arnal and Marcel Bagés, after the great success of their first album, will be releasing their long-awaited second work, which includes electronic beats, synthesizers and collaborations with important figures on the electronic scene. Also a very special mention goes to the performance of Carles Viarnès together with the visual creator Alba G. Corral.

Other National artists performing will be Barcelona band Egosex with their Afro-pop psychedelia and Hidrogenesse introducing their new album with their usual intelligence and cheekiness at SonarHall.

John Mitchell preserves it real as US Eagles face Italy team missing Parisse and more

Ex-All Blacks coach says Americans have an opportunity to beat first tier-one crew but counselings careful over impact of Super and PRO Rugby players

The US Eagles play their first summer Test on Saturday, looking for a first triumph against countries around the world from the first tier of world rugby union.

The game against Italy tier-two Russia follow next week is head manager John Mitchells firstly on American grime. Italy, incumbents of the Six Nations wooden spoon, will be playing their second activity under Conor OShea. The Irishman, who oversaw a 30 -2 4 defeat in Argentina last weekend, has left the hugely experienced forwards Sergio Parisse, Martin Castrogiovanni and Alessandro Zanni at home.

Definitely we have an opportunity, said Mitchell on Friday, having advanced with his team to the Avaya Stadium in San Jose. Whether we can do enough to acquire is dependent on what weve done in camp, on the impact of the bench. Its about putting on the t-shirt, forming consistency and creating prevailing renditions.

Mitchell is a former All Blacks pate coach-and-four who has worked in England, Australia and South Africa. His first five plays in charge of the USA came in the first Americas Rugby Championship, in February and March. The Eagle started with a 35 -3 5 attract with an Argentina XV, followed up with acquires over Canada and Chile, then suffered astonish wins in Brazil and Uruguay.

The ARC units ran widely, and the men who await the Azurri are far removed from those flogs in Barueri and Montevideo. They will be captained by the large-scale Newcastle back-rower Todd Clever, who will become the joint-most-capped Eagle, and guided from fly-half by AJ MacGinty, fresh from acquiring the Pro1 2 with Connacht.

There is also Super Rugby experience: hustler James Hilterbrand of the Waratahs and two flankers, Andrew Durutalo of the Sunwolves and, on the bench, Tony Lamborn of the Hurricanes. Mitchell accepts such strength, though he also voices an interesting memorandum of careful.

Our biggest challenge, he says, is that a lot of our overseas participates, many of them including Hilterbrand and Lamborn are merely stockpiles in those cultures. So they are yet to learn how to sustain durable executions week in, week out.

You do notice that sometimes in their concentration degrees when preparing, so thats certain challenges for us too, trying to keep those actors on task. Its surely their intention to do so, but why i am terrace musicians it creates a different psychology.

Mitchells arrival in the US was delayed by lineage affairs, and he did not select the ARC squad. Accordingly, he determines the Italy game as the first real objection in which Ive had an influence on selection in collaboration with my staff, though at the end of the day Im the convener and Ive had a big influence on it.

While some leading player are with the Eagles sevens crew, preparing for the Rio Olympics, a large Eagles Elite Training Squad has be gradually whittled down, subjected to exacting standards of fitness. Thanks in part to the advent of PRO Rugby, simply two of the match-day 23 New York Athletic Club lock Nate Brakeley and reserve back-rower Harry Higgins, from Old Blue in the same city do not presently pay a full-time living from rugby. This is unprecedented for a US squad, but Mitchell makes an interesting point.

One thing that has been a little disappointing and see, he says, is some of the PRO Rugby participates in the team that were on the ARC tour have actually come[ into camp] in worse surrounding than they were in ARC, which scares me.

It is a possibility[ they are not used to] the week in, week out schedule,[ but] I visualize PRO Rugby has to look moving forward at how they support the athlete around persuasivenes and conditioning. And too education around nutrition. Its one thing having a professional contract, but are those homes catering for all facets of professionalism?

There are those working in US rugby who will merrily say off the record that Italy can definitely be beaten. On the record, Mitchells realism is comprehensible , not least because he was formed in the toughest rugby person on land. A midweek All Black as a participate, he launched a coaching occupation in which the toughest jolt, a World cup finals semi-final demolish by Australia, is now 13 times in the past. Since then he has are going through downs as well as ups.

So have the Eagles. They have pushed the Maori, attracted 61,500 to watch the All Blacks and led Scotland at half-time. There ought to have disappointments too. In 2012, Italy left Houston with a 30 -1 0 prevail. In 2013 and 2014, Ireland and Scotland also prevailed in Texas. The 2015 World cup finals began with hope of progress, exclusively for Japan to glint instead.

Also, in most recent years there have been three or more summertime Exams in which to blood players and work towards the next World Cup. This time, after Scotland chose to go to Japan, there are only two. After Russia, the Eagles must wait to face the Maori in Chicago in November, on the undercard to the All Blacks versus Ireland.

But nothing is ever easy in international rugby and it will not be so against an Italian team also looking to affect a brand-new coach. In May, after selecting his first touring party, OShea had texts for his new actors who are able to evenly apply to those now answering to Mitchell.

I dont think its about winning mentality, he said. Its about not accepting demolish. The best actors are the people who can cope with trouble, whove come back from misery, who are never ready to accept second. Its about how you greeting when things are tough.

In particular, concepts will be tough without Parisse, a mighty No8 who has acquired 119 caps in 14 times. Asked about ways to exploit any Italian shortcomings that may result, Mitchell is acknowledged that he and his tutors have studied them in Six Nations thoroughly and thought they might administer their musicians. Again, though, he lends academic qualifications.

Were in a similar place in a manner that is with some actors in the Olympic sevens force and with Samu Manoa staying with Toulon. In such status, you look to develop depth. So the focus will be very much on ourselves.

Anderson Paak amplió el cartel del Sónar 2017

El Festival de Sónar 2017 sigue ampliando su cartel y a la lista de artistas que ya han confirmado su presencia en el festival (en Barcelona del 15 al 17 de junio)

Con respecto a este tema, se han añadido nombres como los Anderson .Paak, Arca, DJ Shadow y Soulwax, los más destacados de una amplia lista dada a conocer este martes y que también incluye a Carl Craig, que presentará en premier europea su nuevo proyecto, Evian Christ, Vitalic, Little Dragon y la sesión en el Sonar Car, escenario estrenado el año pasado, que protagonizarán en un mano a mano de seis horas Seth Troxler & Tiga.

Del mismo modo, el festival celebrará el décimo aniversario del sello experimental islandés Bedroom Community, que contará como atractivo más destacado con la actuación del fundador del mismo, Valgeir Sigurdsson. Atento como siempre a las evoluciones del grime, el festival vuelve a poner la mirada en el estilo inglés mediante la participación de AJ Tracey, nueva figura del género, y Benji B, locutor de la BBC que protagonizará un set con lo más destacado de la escena inglesa de grime y aledaños.

Aún así, entre los nombres hechos públicos este martes destaca Anderson .Paak, el batería, cantante, productor y compositor californiano autor de Malibu, uno de los discos más destacados de la cosecha del año 2016.

De hecho, Anderson es candidato a dos Grammy por este álbum, segundo de su carrera y excitante catálogo de música negra con raíces en los sonidos clásicos y la mirada puesta en nuestros días. Anderson .Paak vendrá acompañado por su banda, The Free Nationals.

El Festival también presume de ser el único festival escogido por el músico y productor venezolano Arca para presentar su nuevo trabajo.

Por su parte, Arca ya estuvo presente en Sonar hace un par de años con un set inquietante basado en su disco Xen que mostró los nuevos caminos que se abren a las sonoridades electrónicas, lo que le ha llevado a ser reclamado como productor por artistas como Kanye West, Björk o FKA Twigs. Arca volverá a estar acompañado en los visuales por Jesse Kanda.

Finalmente, el grupo de los belgas Soulwax presentarán también nuevo disco, que pondrán en escena recreando su estudio de grabación junto a una banda en la que contaran con tres baterías. Todos estos nombres se suman a un cartel que ya presentó en su momento los nombres de Justice, Nicolas Jaar, Moderat o De La Soul entre otros.
