He remembers the shirt I sent to him, and he still wears it. He also joked that he was going to steal the design and sell it in the UK. 😅 I reminded him that his merch guy was supposed to contact me (email) if they decide to turn it into merch. Then he said he wasn't going to steal it (of course) but that he really does like and wear it. Then I got some pics with him.
I mean....
That is all.
(Oh, but I also met Matthew Setzer who was playing with Front Line Assembly this year. He used to be in Skinny Puppy. Last year, Tim Sköld was filling this role; he's well known for being in KMFDM.)
Late Night Talking music video - Immediate reaction:
All eyes are on Harry's bed and who he's with. It starts with him alone reaching for his person but they're gone, "things haven't been quite the same", he keeps searching for them, their things seem to be in the room but they're not there, so he dives into his bed and there we see all his past lovers, or rather perceived lovers, as his bed is the main stage. Everyone he's with is in his bed too. Some are friends, heck, he's even marrying a nb couple! He goes to plays, dinners, around London with his music friends - but still they're all in his bed and all eyes are on him. We see him holding hands with his male date, we see stills of him cuddling with a series of women, men, nb folk in various beds. He's pillow fighting them. It's all a bit dream-like, like it's a memory or something imagined.
Yet, no matter who he is with, they're in his bed and everyone is watching.
It ends with him alone in his bed again, falling through the clouds, back down to, presumably, his empty bed where his partner has gone away, and he's missing them. (they'll be back)
Horrible name suggestion for UT: Gary. Idk he just looks like a Gary, and I feel like it would be on-brand for Yana to give him a boring name like that.
Today's Terrible Undertaker Name Suggestion is...
Gary

One day, some visitors come, and they look like they are from a circus. I don't know the circumstances in which they get to take him away. Do they break him out? Does his "owner" sell him off? Does something happen to the owner of the freak show?
Whatever the case, Joker asks him what's his name, and apparently Snake didn't really have one (that he could recall?), so Joker simply names him "Snake". Meanwhile, I see someone (Dagger, I think) bringing children into the back of a wagon; are they being collected for Kelvin?!?
Doll puts out a hand and offers for Snake to leave with them. He accepts the offer and goes with them to Noah's Ark Circus.
There, Doll seems to ask "チキンと汁一クどつち食う?", which google translates as "Would you rather eat chicken or a cup of soup?" Snake doesn't give an answer, so Doll says "黙ってちやわかんねーだろ?", like "You can't just keep quiet, right?" Then Jumbo walks over. I haven't had time yet to translate what he says, but Snake still isn't talking.
Emily tells Snake "...チキン" (chicken), and finally Snake says "あとメスりて言ってる" (I'm saying it's a female) or "あとメス りて言ってる" (Also, it says female). I'm not sure if Jumbo and Doll are excited about that snake being a girl, Snake speaking with snakes, or simply the fact that Snake has finally said something.
Then Jumbo says something like "これはしデイに失礼をお名前を伺っても?" (Please excuse me if I ask your name?). Either that or more like "My apologies to this day. May I ask your name?"
The bubble with "そうですね... エミリー なんてどうでしよう" means something like "I agree... Emily, what should I do?" Followed by "嵐が丘 の考者 エリス・ベルの本名です" (This is the real name of Ellis Bell, the thinker [author] of Wuthering Heights).
Snake considers the name "Emily" for this snake, and then another snake gets in the way and Snake says "俺にも名前を付けてくれ つて言つてる" (Give me a name, too, it's saying).
Looks like the other snakes all want Jumbo to name them.
Then Dagger and Doll work on an outfit for him, and they are later shown enjoying meals together.
But time passes, and then one day our earl and Sebastian show up....
I'll try to get more translations done soon.
EDIT: Corrections:
Doll offers chicken or pork (not chicken or soup)
Snake says something more like "chicken... says the female one"
Jumbo calls the female snake "lady" when he apologizes
💖 What is your primary writing goal for this year?
AND
💥Is there a chapter, scene, or WIP you're most excited to write? Share a snippet or tell us about it!
💖 - I want to be one of those people that either plans out their story completely before posting OR at least sticks to an actual posting schedule.
💥 - I’m dreading all the connecting scenes for what I have mapped out for year 5 of ‘in all chaos there is calculation’ I promise I can read. I’m most excited for the enemies to lovers HP prompt I got (I’m working on them anon!) I have a deep love for Slytherin!Harry and Slytherin!Ginny (shout out Annerb)
Right now it feels more like a stream of consciousness than a story but here’s something:
It’s like her family is afraid of her but also afraid for her. She knows she’s being unfair with how annoyed she is by all the coddling - especially from her brothers who could’ve (some may should have) paid her a shred of attention last year even after her sorting hat debacle.
She has nightmares and a fear that she doesn’t remember things from the day before. The only person she wants to talk to is bloody Harry Potter.
-
The way Harry treats her is no different than he treated her last year. Which is to say, he’s indifferent to her presence. Ginny feels silly for thinking him coming to save her in the Chamber would bond them for life or something, but she thought she’d at least get a friend out of the entire situation. He probably thinks she’s a silly little girl who managed to get possessed less than halfway through the school year. Ginny hates that. When she found out that Harry Potter had also beens sorted into Slytherin, she’d hoped that maybe they could become friends, that maybe her childhood fantasies weren’t in vain.
But, Harry kept mostly to himself. Only really talking with Blaise Zabini. And Ginny doesn’t particularly like Blaise Zabini.
There’s more, but it it needs to be fleshed out and I’m pumped!
