#atz styling

[cannibalismyuri]

The styling of these is so sleek, and they've straightened his hair for it too!

There's also a glossy/shiny element, with the lighting falling on his hair in the second picture and his shirt being a mesh/ribbed stretchy material that draws attention to the parts where it bunches up and serves as a stark contrast from a very no-makeup look, which is such an interesting choice for an editorial shoot. His lines are also very sharp here, and the pose is designed to call attention to his face, rather than the outfit. It is a kind of look-back photo, where at first glance, you're drawn to his face due to the structure of the shot, and then the shirt and lighting further intrigues you.

The first picture is also so sharp and clean with a clear silhouette and a very texture and contrast centred look. While the pants and blazer look like a more workplace outfit, his shirt is partly translucent and shows a little midriff, the material also being different from the rest of the clothing. His hair is also tousled in the first picture; which again serves to showcase texture (hair + shirt) and contrast (very sharp focus to face and midriff + differing materials of outfit elements). Due to the outfit being all black, it immediately draws the eye to the midriff due to the contrast of his skin to the color, and serves as a striking element of provocative styling.

Does anyone have any thoughts about how the styling for this, along with lighting and background is creating an atmosphere and portraying him?

Yet another Red Bull team mate of Max Verstappen’s is struggling to be competitive, Liam Lawson having qualified last in China last weekend after failing to get out of Q1 in Melbourne. He joins a long list over the last five years. Pierre Gasly, Alex Albon and Sergio Perez were never this far off, but the pattern is unmistakeable: Red Bull has followed where Verstappen’s enormous talent has taken them. But it’s made for a car no-one else can make competitive.

This looks a lot like Michael Schumacher at Benetton in 1994/95. There was of course a lot of controversy around the electronic systems on the Benetton in ’94 and it led to questions about whether his car was the same as that of his team-mates. But it was about more than that. JJ Lehto, Jos Verstappen and Johnny Herbert all had good reputations damaged by being his team-mate in a nervous car only he could properly exploit.

Listening to Max describe his car preferences, it sounds pretty much how Schumacher used to describe it.

Schumacher: “People say I like oversteer. I don’t. I can handle it and drive it but I don’t want it. With a neutral car you can have it sliding from turn-in to exit and all the time you can just drive on the limit of the four tyres’ given grip, and that’s what I’m always looking to achieve. I had cars that did that. With a little input you could make it go the way you wanted it to go.”

Verstappen: “I like a pointy car but with a rear that is just stable enough to have a controlled balance. I like a strong front end. I don’t really like understeer. It’s just killing the whole feel of the car. A strong front end with a rear that is just on the edge. But of course you still need that rear to rely on.”

It sounds simple, but what separates them from their team-mates is/was the feel for the transition, trading off rotation against scrub. Verstappen’s sim racing partner Atze Kerkhof is also an F1 driver coach and has studied intensely what Max does and how he makes it work. He relayed it on his YouTube channel. at 0:30:40

“When the Red Bull was a bit of a lazy car at the beginning of ’22 it was very easy to drive leaning towards understeer. Understeer is a very boring way to drive a car because whatever you do with the brake pedal, at a certain point the car doesn’t rotate any more. A pointy car wants to rotate more than you want and what Max does very well is he can balance the car that is too pointy for everyone else because for them it starts sliding. Max can make that car perfectly smooth and make use of that extra rotation and he can cancel it with his inputs in the points where he doesn’t need it. … the last five-tenths is dancing a very thin line, balancing the car and stepping away from the textbook style of aggressive on the brakes, very smooth coming off, turning at the right time. That’s still there in the basics but it needs to be adjusted intermittently in millimetres to have a positive effect on the balance.”

Intuitively feeling that point where the rotation needs to be checked, with just the smallest inputs of brake and steering, allows outrageous speed to be taken in without the penalty of time-consuming slides. Watching Lawson desperately try to make sense of the Red Bull in Shanghai, he would take the speed in and turn, only to then find himself correcting big snaps of oversteer. That sensitivity to a demanding car just wasn’t in the same league. But put them in a less pointy car, Lawson would be much closer.

Red Bull has naturally followed Verstappen’s preferences in how it has developed its cars over the last few years. Just as Benetton did with Schumacher. But when Michael left and two good drivers – Gerhard Berger and Jean Alesi – tried the car, they could barely control it and each suffered several pre-season crashes.

Some say Lawson should be given more of a chance than just two races and certainly there’s merit in that. But conversely, perhaps the sooner he can get back in to a ‘normal’ car, the quicker he can begin recapturing the confidence which has surely been destroyed.

TAGLIST: @no1likemybbgcharlie, @spookidema

☼ ☽ ☆ ⁑ ☼ ☽ ☆ ⁑ ☼ ☽ ☆ ⁑ ☼ ☽ ☆ ⁑

[1:47pm] Baby Bear: Hey precious, we’ll be done recording a little later than we were expecting. How does a late lunch sound? [2:24pm] Baby Bear: Baby, is everything okay? It’s not like you to not answer. [2:58pm] Baby Bear: Y/N? Precious, I need you to answer me. [3:31pm] Baby Bear: I’m starting to get worried. If you don’t answer me soon, I’m gonna have Joong drive me over. [4:19pm] Baby Bear: We’ll be there in twenty minutes.

The knock on your door makes you groan despite your dog alerting you with a few barks. When you don’t get up, the dog hops down and starts towards the door. You hear the key turn and then your boyfriend’s voice is echoing down the hall.

“Hey there, Persephone, you pretty girl. Where’s your mama, huh?” Jongho greets, and you can tell he’s picked the dog up as he starts towards your room. “Y/N?” As he gets to the door, you pull your comforter closer around you.

“Not now, Jongho.”

“Not now? Y/N, light of my life, what’s bothering you?”

“I don’t want you to see me like this, Jong.” you counter, pulling the blanket back over your head. You don’t hear him moving, but you’re powerless to keep the blanket in your grasp as he tugs it back. “Noooooo,” you whine pathetically, trying to roll away. Jongho merely walks around the bed and crawls in, letting the dog crawl out of his arms so he can pull you into his arms.

“I’m not going anywhere, Y/N.” Jongho stated simply, locking you in his embrace as he spooned behind you. “Something is wrong, and I am not going to let you go through it alone.”

“You shouldn’t have to take care of me.” You pout, still refusing to look at him. You’re aware of the way he adjusts so he can rest his head on yours gently and kiss your temple. “I’m a grown adult.”

“It's a bad depression day, isn't it?”

You don't answer him, instead hiding your face in your pillow in an attempt to hide the tears blurring your vision. He doesn't force you to look at him, only pulling you more firmly against him and pressing a kiss to your temple.

“Talk to me, so I can make it better.” His voice is gentle, calm and right above your ear as he holds you.

“I don't want to burden you, you've got enough going on.”

“Y/N.” His voice is firmer as he says your name, reaching to take your hand and lace his fingers through yours. He doesn’t fight you when you pull it up to hold his hand at your chest. “You are not, and never will be, a burden. Not to me.”

“I can't even make myself get out of bed, that's a problem.”

“It's not the first time you've struggled, not will it be the last. But I can promise you that you are not a burden and that I am here. I may not be able to be at your side for every hour you fight through this round, Y/N, but I can do all I can. Bring you food and affection, walk Persephone, remind you how important you are to me, and to the members.” His thumb brushes the back of your hand as he speaks. “Hongjoong-hyung is really worried, honestly.”

“You told Joong?”

“He's the one who drove me, I had to tell him at least. We agreed not to tell the others until we knew you were safe.” Jongho defended his choice. “If we had told any of the others, you know you'd be squished under Wooyoung, San and Mingi right now. I didn't want to overwhelm you until I knew what was wrong.”

You're quiet, hand squeezing his as you try not to cry all over again. “None of you should worry about me.”

“No, stop that.” Jongho’s tone is more firm, tucking his chin at your shoulder. “You are a part of our family, Y/N. Of course they're going to worry about you. I have the right to worry about the woman I love.” His phone chimes in his pocket and he kisses your temple. “That's probably Hongjoong-hyung. Is it okay if I have my hand so I can answer him?” You reluctantly release him, and he reaches to pull his phone out and unlock it. “Have you had any food today?”

You stiffen a little as you try to remember. “I don't think so?” you murmur as Jongho types his reply.

“Hyung will be back in a little bit.”

“What do you mean by back?” You ask, face contorted in confusion. “Was he outside?”

“He was in the car, don’t worry. He just wanted to make sure everything was okay.”

“Why didn't he come in, it's much warmer.”

“We didn't know if you'd be open to having company. Me showing up and just coming in is one thing. I have a key and I spend half my free time here with you anyway. Hongjoong-hyung is another subject altogether.” You pout at his response, but he adds on before you can speak. “He had the car running, so he wasn't out in the cold, I promise.”

“Wait…” You adjust to sit up, looking around before your eyes turn to your boyfriend. “Weren't you guys supposed to be in the studio all day?”

“Y/N, it's after five.” Jongho said calmly, already knowing what was coming.

“No.” You turn to pick your phone up, looking through it, finally seeing Jongho's messages. When you flop back on the mattress, Jongho moves to pull you into his lap.

“It's just a rough day, baby. Everything is fine, I promise.” He soothes as you start to sob again. “I'm right here, it's okay.”

“I'm sorry.”

“Never be sorry, Y/N. You have literally nothing to be sorry for.” He rests his hand on your side gently, speaking softly as he watches you. “Do you want me to run you a bath?”

You shake your head, adjusting so your head rests on his lap and you can take his other hand. “Just stay with me.” He stays where he is, leaning back against the headboard, the hand on your side moving to your hair. The two of you are quiet except for the low volume of your TV, and after a few commercial breaks from it, you speak up again. “Hey Jong?”

“Yes, my sweet?”

“You don't like skinship, but you do it with me.”

“You're an exception to the rule.” Jongho replied. “Your touch is special, I tolerate most of the torment from the others.”

“Don't let Wooyoung hear you say that.”

“Is that a smile I hear in your voice?”

“…maybe.”

“You're not going to let Wooyoung-hyung live, will you?”

“Mm, he can for now. But I know I have this ace up my sleeve the next time he gets unbearable.”

“That's Wooyoung-hyung literally everyday.” Jongho countered. “You'll be revealing your ace pretty soon.”

You smirk a little, looking up at him. “Just put on Mario Kart, he'll be distracted trying to beat you.” Jongho laughed, and the sound eased the weight on your chest, your own lips curving up as your free hand reached up to touch his cheek. “What would I do without you, Jongho?”

“You don't have to find out, you're stuck with me.” Jongho countered, kissing your palm. The moment is shattered when there's a few knocks and the door opens.

“Where is my sister-in-law?” Wooyoung's voice carries down the hall.

“Wooyoung-ah, be quiet. I only agreed to let you come so you'd stop whining.” Hongjoong scolded, the sound of bags being set down being heard from down the hall.

“I'll go deal with them.” Jongho assured, carefully slipping from the bed and leaning over to kiss you. “I'll bring you your food.”

“No, just give me a few minutes?” You offer, looking up at him. “I'll come join you, I promise.”

“Five minutes or I bring your food in here.” Jongho stated firmly, making you giggle.

“Deal.” You catch his hand as he turns from you, tugging him to steal another kiss. “I love you, Choi Jongho.”

“I love you, too, Y/N. Never doubt that.” He pressed a third kiss to your forehead before gently easing his hand from your hand, slipping out the bedroom door and closing it to give you more privacy. With a slow, deep breath, you went about the process of actually getting out of bed, taking your phone off of silent before making your way out into the living room. Jongho was right, this wasn't your first low day, and it wouldn't be your last, but you had him there with you to weather the storm whenever it came howling.

I haven't been able to stop listening to Hongjoong's cover of Falling! I admit I was shocked by his vocals, since he's known primarily for being one of Ateez's main rappers. His voice his beautiful!

Please watch on yt to support Hongjoong and Ateez! Also, be sure to check out more clips from this season of Moving Voices in Germany, featuring Hongjoong and Jongho alongside other Korean artists!
