no love for ned is back on wlur tonight from 8pm until midnight. i took last week off to catch a couple of my favorites bands from the nineties live in dc- velocity girl and tuscadero!

speaking of the nineties, two weeks ago i did a best of 1993 show that's now on mixcloud. as always i played a couple songs that turned out to be a year off due to the damn copyright dates listed on the cd. i know the sdre was actually 1994 and the portastatic might be too! we'll still be doing a 'best of 2003' show in a couple weeks!

no love for ned on wlur – november 24th, 2023 from 8pm-midnight

happy two years of enhypen. wow. can't believe i just wrote that. enha give me something to be excited about, something to look forward to, every single day. just listening to their music or watching videos of them or interacting with other engenes makes high school and awkward social stuff more bearable.

today - even though i'm writing this when it's 11/29 in my country - marks two years of enhypen, one of the biggest 4th gen kpop groups, a group that will definitely leave a mark in the industry. 2 years ago we got 'Given-Taken' and Border: Day One, and now they've released several successful EPs, an LP, a repackage, and a few Japanese albums. They've sung OSTs and gone on tour and done countless iconic performances - I'll never get over the "Legend of Kpop" performance. I'm so proud of how far they've come - I found them when they had six songs (including an intro and outro) and now they have.... i honestly don't even know how many, definitely above 40 though. along the way, they've developed a big fanbase and have made their name - it's hard to find a kpop stan who hasn't heard of them.

happy two years boys! here's to many more! jungwon, heeseung, jay, jake, sunghoon, sunoo, and niki - i know you will continue to do amazing things!

MY NEW ROAD - Chapter 1

» Older Daniel Diaz x reader 

» Warnings: mature, romance, blood, gang                                             

Chapter 2

» So i was hoping i could read something about daniel diaz, at the end of 5 ep, and as i was sick of waiting,  so i decided to write a long short about older daniel diaz, so let's go :)

And there I was, in this moment  i was terrified, I could I feel my blood coming out of my belly, it hurts a lot... I couldn't breathe, or think, to be honest I didn't know what to do... Who is he? Why is he here? For a few seconds i felt my body being lifted up.

" Y/N ? Oh please wake up... ahhh SEAN!!!!"

I recognized this voice, but I just let my eyes close, I felt my body fall asleep.

*A FEW HOURS EARLIER*

So HI!! My name is y/n, im 17 and right now I'm living on my own in Mexico, more property in puerto lobos.

I'm a very simple girl, I grew up in LA with my grandparents, I never met my parents, and during my life, my grandparents never told me about their daughter, they just told me that she had abandoned me when I was Little, and as for my father, they didn't know who she was, so I never really cared about that.

I've been living here for about six weeks,I study in a small americam school, near here. I'm loving living here I never thought, that a dream I had since I was little would come true so soon, I decided to live here, because I love Mexican culture and not to mention that living by the beach never tires anyone, and I still have the privilege of seeing the sunset disappear into the waves...

Since I was a child I was very shy and I don't know how to express myself to others anht this is the reason why I've not be able to make friends in this new school yet, I feel ashamed when they look at me or try to talk to me, it's complicated, however, I've always managed to make some friends in LA, people I talk to almost every single day.

it's already 7 am i think i should be preparing for school but i think laziness has won ahaha, I got up and tried to take as little time as possible, I don't want to be late again or Ms. Lopez will kick me out of her class again.

I was new to that school and it wasn't the first time I was late, which I can say I love sleeping, but I have to work harder to make sure that doesn't happen, and I'm going to start right now haha.

I tried to take as little time as possible, of course that for me it's kind of impossible, because, I still had to take a shower before going, but I think at least I won't be late this time, I look at the clock and OMG is already 7:50 and the classes start at 8:00, ahhhhh how will I get to school in 10... Afff so much effort for nothing, well at least I can still get to the beginning of the first class.

On the way to school, I saw him again... I think his name is Daniel, he's from my class but I never talked to him before, and to be honest, I never had the courage to talk to him, well... not only with him, I think with everyone in general, so far I haven't made any friends, except the lady from the apartment next door, and we only talk on Sundays, because we have the same way when we go to church.

  I think I've been looking at him too long... why do I say that? He's looking at me right now. I can't deny it he's beautiful... he's so mysterious, but from what I've seen of him, at school he's very fun, reserved, but fun.

I felt him staring at me, which made me completely ashamed, and my only option for not having to talk to him was to hit him and not, to look at him as I passed by, even with my back to him his gaze managed to make me feel a huge chill, but it's a good thing that I'm already arriving at school.

For real I didn't know what to tell him anyways.

When i arrived at school i came across Ms.Lopez on the way. And I think it was at this moment that I realized I was completely fucked up, I tried to go unnoticed, but without success.

And when I turned back I only saw her ferocious gaze directed at me.

"Miss l/n shouldn't be in class already. Preferably sitting at your desk waiting for me." - she looked at me with a deadly look on her face

"oh I finally find you y/n, thx for waiting for me, and here you have your Spanish book that you lent me." He looked at me and winked at me, so that I could continue with the theater.

"O-of course I do, Daniel, there's nothing to be thankful for" he stands next to me and takes my hand. And he gave me the book, I felt my heart go off a thousand an hour...When I lifted my face I saw his eyes glued on me, why did he protect me?

"Is that why you were late?" She looked at me and then at Daniel, I felt the anger in her eyes

"yes i decided to wait for daniel" i smiled at her, and i felt daniel put himself behind me

"Vamos, no te enojes con ella, maestra. Sólo fue esta vez (Come on, don't get mad at her, teacher. It was just this time .)" Daniel grabbed my shoulders and spoke, I saw Ms. Lopez calm her eyes and take a deep breath.

"Hum being so, i let you pass your delay this time you two have 5 minutes to introduce you in my class, and miss L/N thank the boy Daniel for helping her " his voice was calm now but his words were cold.

She continued on her way to the classroom, and I hear Daniel laughed

"You're welcome!" daniel said as my body moved, his voice was now hoarse, I sounded hypnotized by the voice of him.

"T-thank you for helping me." I tried to be short and quick in my answer. I was so nervous and idk why.

"let's go to class before Ms. Lopez decides to murder us, because we're late" daniel just went on her way but stopped 3 steps ahead of me.

"will have to pull you?" he laughs softly and throws a half smile, my heart, jumped a beat when i saw that smile.

"Y-yes" I just followed him.... When we arrived in the room each one sat in his seat, but for some reason, Daniel kept looking at me and it made me nervous for the rest of the time.

During the rest of the day, everything went as usual, except for the failed attempt by me to escape Daniel's gaze, I  don't know what he was looking for in me, but I think I managed to make him lose interest for a while. I think.

When I finally rang the exit bell, I was the first to leave for the first time, I didn't want to know anything else, I just wanted to get home and enjoy being alone.

When I walked through the school gate, I took a deep breath and tried to rearrange my ideas, how can something as simple as talking to a person make me so nervous?

I'll speed up the walk and look at the sky and then at the sea at the end of the street to calm myself down. I didn't understand what was going on this day but I just asked it to end quickly. Yeah, to tell you the truth, I've never had a boy look at me for so long, am I getting a crush on him? AHHHHH well  I hope not.

When I was almost at home, I felt a chill on my back and soon I could be able to realized what was happening....

"Are you trying to avoid me?" Not that voice, not again.

I turned slowly and there he was, did he follow me? When I looked at him I felt my face boiling with shame.

"Did the Cat eat your tongue?" he looked at me and laughed, and began to approach me.

I tried to ignore to not have to answer, I really suffered from many anxiety problems and did not know what to do in these situations.

"okay i got you, you don't want to talk to me don't worry" he looked at the floor and his cheerful expression went to sadness

"well see you tomorrow at school" when he was going to turn around and continue on his way i screamed

"WAIT"

He turned to me and smiled... OH God that smile was so sweet

"I thought you weren't gonna answer ahaha."

"I'm not ignoring you, or avoiding you...I'm just too shy to talk" I couldn't face his eyes so I just looked at the ground.

"Are you sure? I didn't want to get into it with Ms Lopez, but I knew if I didn't, she'd kick you out of her class" when I looked up I came across the most beautiful smile I'd ever seen.

It made me blush, involuntarily, I didn't know what to say.

"thank you...and it's okay, I'd be kicked out if it wasn't for you too, so thank you for helping me."

"You're welcome, I've always seen you being very shy with everyone and you don't seem to be the kind of person who would be late on purpose, well, I won't take up your time. See you tomorrow"

he said with a perverse smile on his face

"Oh and if tomorrow you want company for the school I can wait here for you".

I didn't have time to say anything else I just agreed and entered the building.

When I got home I lay on the couch, looking at the ceiling, trying to see what had happened, I didn't notice it, but I felt my body tired and ended up falling asleep.

"Daniel... Something about him attracted me...'

I opened my eyes very slowly, I looked at the window and it was already dark, I picked up my phone and turned it on, I had 5 unanswered calls from my grandmother, this was strange she didn't call me so often

I dialed her number and called...

"y/n honey is you?"

"yes Grandma, what's going on?  I'm sorry I was so tired that I fell asleep and didn't hear you call".

Without telling me anything else she felt like she was crying, but what happened to make my grandmother cry she hardly ever does, and when I say that she doesn't, it's because it's rare.

"Honey, I have something to tell you... Your mother is looking for you," those words left me unanswered, my mother?

No...

No...

Couldn't be, my mother abandoned me 16 years ago, for me she died... I started crying, that person who abandoned me 16 years ago, now its looking for me why? I had so many questions in my mind, I couldn't talk to anybody, I just need some time.

"honey are there? Y/n?" My grandmother called me...

"I'm sorry Grandma, I need to think a little, I'll call you later."

"darling no-" i hung up on her, i don't like to do this but i need time to process

I got up, grabbed my jacket and went out towards the beachWhen I got there I sat down on the sand, and watched the sea, and the waves coming at me, I didn't want to believe that my mother was looking for me, if she hadn't wanted me in 16 years, she wouldn't want me now.... Now I did not even want her back

At that moment I felt that I was not alone there, I turned around and saw a group of people coming towards me.

I got up quickly and tried to get out of there, but it was too late.

Fear sometimes makes us irrational, and at this moment I did not know what to do, I did not know how to react, I was scared, I felt one of the men grabbing me by the arms, and attached me to his body

"hey you, don't move so much kittens, let's talk"

The second man spoke and stood in front of me, and grabbed my face forcing me to look at him.

"so you're the Diaz little princess aren't you?" I wasn't noticing anything, I just tried to get away but without success, I wonder what would happen to me...

I tried to fight and I tried to let go, but unfortunately I only did worse, he pressed himself behind my back and won't let me go.

"Let's teach that boy a lesson, that's what he and his brother will pay to judge us dumb."

One of them pulled a knife out of his waist and approached me...

"NO PLEASE DON'T"

I started screaming, and crying madly, I was now completely scared.

At that very moment, I felt the blade pierce my skin... I didn't know what to do, I just tried to struggle

But when I turned my head, there he was, out of nowhere, the people around me were thrown away, I felt my body fall into the sand...

And there I was, in this moment  i was terrified, I could I feel my blood coming out of my belly, it hurts a lot... I couldn't breathe, or think, to be honest I didn't know what to do... Who is he? Why is he here? For a few seconds i felt my body being lifted up.

" Y/N ? Oh please wake up... ahhh SEAN!!!!"

I recognized this voice, but I just let my eyes close, I felt my body fall asleep...

But to be honest I felt my body warm, from this moment on, it just got dark.

Got ended after season 7 although I would even accept the first two eps of season 8 but after it ? Nope. The characters only looked the same and had the same names nothing more and were not the characters we have been known for so long. And Jonerys? A strong fucking unit they can't destroy. Because it simply wasn't them, like all the other characters.

That episode was ridiculous. I expected mediocrity and yet I was surprised by the levels displayed in what was supposed the be the epic ending to a high fantasy show with complex lore, politics and characters. The plot was—similarly to almost every other episodes—contrived and the favoritism of the creators for some characters was blatant.

The North got its independence even though with Bran being a Stark it really wasn’t needed—or maybe Sansa didn’t trust him to have their best interests in mind? And if that was the case then why not at least mention it?—and yet a kingdom like Dorne which has a history of independence and refusal to submit made no comments on that topic and Yara apparently forgot Daenerys had granted her independence after she bargained to be the queen of her people. Bran got to be the King of six kingdoms and granted another to his sister and no one complained about that despite the recent history and characterization that would indicate the opposite. How convenient.

The scenes were rushed. It was one storyline trampling over another and another. The timeline was unclear too. Even if it was clear there had been a timeskip after Jon killed Daenerys, we don’t know long it had been, or what the aftermath of Daenerys’ murder was. It was simply ignored in favor of jumping to the next plot point with no explanation.

Grey Worm and Yara were both out of character and apparently incapable of standing up against the Starks. Arya made some threat against Yara who was, of course, promptly put into her place and Grey Worm accepted Jon’s ‘punishment’ too easily. We didn’t even get to see the khalasar react to Daenerys’ death, either, and for two seasons now they were used solely for battle scenes and treated as cannon fodder by the writers. If I considered the Dothraki too stereotypical and one-dimensional before it’s nothing compared to this one last season where they have no opinions or reactions or dialogue and the little we know of their culture has been ignored.

The only thing that was worse than the characterization was the awful dialogue. I couldn’t take anyone seriously. I howled when they made Bronn, of all people, master of coin, like he wasn’t a self-serving mercenary with no loyalty who was fine with killing anyone—including babies—for an acceptable price and needed Tyrion to explain to him how basic transactions worked in the earlier seasons when borrowing money.

For people who have bend over backward in order to avoid cliches, Sam writing about the wars and calling it ‘a song of ice and fire’ was very predictable. I hated Sansa behavior towards her uncle and I think that it was a disrespect to her book counterpart, who values courtesy and would not insult her own family in a public meeting with other high lords. Apparently, Tyrion got the be hand of the king once again even after he betrayed on many occasions the last monarch he served.

No closure for Arya and Gendry’s relationship that we’re supposed to consider as a fling and nothing more. No consequences for Sansa breaking a sacred oath. No valid reasoning is given to the formation of the Night Watch. No one addressed the fact that a few episodes ago Bran affirmed he could not have a title or a hold a land.

Arya’s ending was too vague, and so was Grey Worm’s. Yara was not even a minor character that season and the narrative didn’t delve into her story despite her being a major player. Jon ended up at the same place he started with years of characterization rendered unimportant by that last ‘twist’. Being a queenslayer, oathbreaker, and kinslayer was apparently too futile for Jon’s characterization—that gravitates around honor and principles—to be given a proper discussion. I honestly think him dying killed by Drogon would have been more fitting and also more logical considering he’d just killed Drogon’s own mother. Brienne was reduced to propping Jaime’s arc—or lack of arc—and the focus was not on her at all in the last episode of the show in which she was regular for years. Daenerys’ own dead was seen through another character’s perspective and the writers failed to provide a clear reason for her descent into madness; if we are to believe Tyrion’s explanation of her philosophy having corrupted her to the point of extremism since she killed slave masters and men who would ‘have done worse to her’—which is a delicate euphemism for gang rape, forced bestiality, and death—then there was no reason at all for him to join her in the first place. He already knew all of that after all.

Everything was disappointing and after that, I think it will take a long time before I will be able to rewatch this show and I know for sure I won’t watch the spin-offs.
