my Only, Only gripe with the borrasca creepypasta is that kimber wanted to keep being related to kyle a secret and just never tell him. And when we got that hopeful ending, it’s not implied they would talk about it, which, fair- happy ending and all but still

Stories about Frederick's outfits in CPC
Frederick, the youngest Plaid Prince with the green color motif. The one that had outfits mostly in green color as well, with the exception is his academy era where he wear blue uniform with white tie. This post gonna entertwined some CPC story points regarding Frederick's outfits. For the starter of the everything, let's talk about his trademark Green Plaid Jacket (I have a theory about how the color of his jacket becomes murkier the more he knows about the engagement)
First we have standard male undergament outfit in the CPC universe, a pair of grey trousers and a pair of black boots in monochromatic style. His color is green, and motif of Plaid as part of Plaid Kingdom. His jacket like his brothers as have a pair of golden shoulder pads and a golden trim going down the collarbone part, with a three straps of golden cover with huge black buttons. The inner white shirts of the Plaid Princes modeled to each ones' character (Lance's carefree, Blaine's fancy)- which for Frederick he buttons up to his neck, making him distinct from his brothers, who leave their collars open. There's only some occasions where his collar opened, and all of those events is related to Gwendolyn in someway (discussed in later part of this post). The inner white shirt of him is a simple one with 3 white buttons, that the top is open
^ Second, we'll go from this comment from the webtoon - exactly from episode 146 when talking about how Frederick and Whitney now are like blank canvas and not related to their respected kingdoms. Here the most interesting part imho but also the longest, I do rereading and - voila?
I do rereading and realizes that all of intimate moments of gwenderick had him not wearing Plaid jacket 'properly'.. The comment from Sage person is very pretty close, most are having his jacket displace in some way - some where he opening it like to taking out his lucky charm the newt eyeball - while some didn't have him to wearing the trademark plaid jacket at all like wearing Jamie's change outfit, gala outfit etc
Here the list of episodes where Frederick not really looking like a Plaid Prince, or wondering if Plaid way truly for him!
2nd middle part and the center of the post
after math of amusement park (wears Jamie outfit) ep29
ep33-34 not only time when Fred realizes how kind Gwen is BUT also his beliefs like "innocence, kindness won't matter in this world-cuz I bullied due that". Where Frederick backstory been told, and @alexandersimpleton mentioned before that's interesting for little Frederick wears pastel
balcony serenade (ripping his own sleeve to treats Gwen) ep39
wear green suit that not Plaid at Lance's BD party -ep49
Although just in dream, bonus short ep 4 & (s3) short 4 + his pajama although in plaid motif but open around heart
Frederick realizes what he wants (he likes Gwen) , put his jacket like a robe or as the outer (ep70) - double as him meets his inner child. Another example of him opened up. Frederick's inner child outfits also coincidetally not him as a Plaid prince but with the uniform (the start of his innocence tainted) and little prince (which he thinks the most fits to him, his gala outfit that becomes blatant foreshadowing) - and I somehow have a feeling, that we're see Frederick's inner child again somehow it's happening
ep74 the portrait duel, his upper top not properly put as the usual - he duels with Leopold that showing his conviction
ep82 very important ep as we had monologue that Frederick realizes Plaid way isn't fits to him - he still wearing his Plaid jacket compltely but had flashbacks where he shown to not wear properly, or in the real time having the jacket in messy state + funny pose lol
ep89 he offers his waterproof jacket to Gwen, makes him with white shirt - also hints of his self-sacrifice tedency "I'll go instead"
slightly opened up when he had talk with Syrah (ep90)
ep92 the confession Downpour (part 2), Frederick opening up his jacket to takes out the gala ticket for Gwendolyn
ep100 Frederick opening up his upper jacket to take out the newt eyeball that becomes his lucky charm
ep106 Frederick confessing to Gwendolyn that he thinks she's beautiful with the upper part of his jacket opened
Frederick might not know but Gwen imagines herself with him without his trademark plaid jacket like this; ep112
the gala arc since ep 120 with him as the tiniest prince, and with that along with his brothers - become foreshadowing
since season 4 part 2, we have Fred without his jacket completely which symbolizes him as the 'blank canvas'
The last part, gonna be entertwined with another theory 0.0
Frederick = the tiniest prince = little prince
Let's see that webtoon comment image back, one conclusion that I find very interesting that will related to Little Prince :
"In order to create closer and healhtly relationship with Princess Gwendolyn - Frederick needs to distance himself to being a Plaid Prince, and as long as he still keep the idealism (along with toxicities) of the Plaid kingdom he can't reaches Gwen. Gwen needs to see for who he actually is, and Frederick should become who he actually is - the true him"
This, goes hard with the epilogue part of the Little Prince.. Because the story ends with Little Prince looks like he's dying as he get bitten by the snake (and in the CPC, this refers to the Giant Serpent - that keep recurring in Frederick's dreams) so he could returns to his home where his lover the rose there
this means, in order for Frederick could 'return to his lover' = 'reaches Gwen' - he needs to be bitten by the Giant Serpent
The bite (be it literal or metaphorical), will make the little prince looks like he is dying - with several interpretations of little prince even thinks that scene as the prince attempting suicide. The CPC never show explicit suicide attempts BUT implicit scenes happened, with the recent example from Frederick himself that dares 'hissing' Blaine to kill him (ep158). I feel the incoming foreshadowings of some ugly dark scenes in the future that will happen, as Frederick doing something similar to what he dares to Blaine but now to the real Giant Serpent - but it seems won't ends well.
[ Here my further analysis about TGS, which likely Leland ]
So.. Frederick will and need to 'die' like the little prince then?
Me and @meritre24601 hoping for different take as seen the death not be literally as passed on from the real world but metaphorically. That's already happened canonically during the CPC intruder arc as the one that die isn't Renée but the bad parts of the CPC - with Nell's explanation...
This mean the metaphorically death. Frederick as the Plaid Prince is the one that die as bitten by TGS - but right after that he rebirth as simply "Frederick". Rebirth and transformation are good symbolism of snake/serpent that @saemi-the-dreamer wrote. As he indeed 'die' but got rebirth for new transformation of his life, where he's showing the true him that shown cleverly by LambCat in throughout series from his outfit, he could finally reaches Gwen - the happy ending of their reunion that we are hopes ;-;

Year-End Poll #44: 1993
[Image description: a collage of photos of the 10 musicians and musical groups featured in this poll. In order from left to right, top to bottom: Whitney Houston, Tag Team, UB40, Janet Jackson, Silk, SWV, Shai, Mariah Carey, Wreckx-n-Effect, Snow. End description]
More information about this blog here
Another big year for R&B, especially R&B with a new jack swing influence. Whitney Houston's cover of I Will Always Love You for The Bodyguard soundtrack is not the first example of a soundtrack ballad reaching these polls, but it's certainly one of the biggest. The song beat all of Whitney Houston's previously-held longevity records and as of this writing it's still number 60 on Billboard's All-Time Top 100 chart.
Barely missing the eligibility for this poll is the solo debut album of Dr. Dre. The Chronic was released in 1992, helping to cement the sound of west coast rap, specifically G-funk. As the name would suggest, G-funk is largely influenced by funk music (with several tracks off The Chronic sampling Parliament-Funkadelic and George Clinton). West Coast rap also had a larger influence from car culture than the East Coast. Not just in subject matter, but in how the production would sound coming out of a car speaker. Reality rap (or gangster rap, as it would later be more widely called) was already controversial in the 1980's, especially the tracks criticizing the militant police presence in Los Angeles. This controversy would only grow in the early 90's, but so too would the mainstream popularity of the sound. With the East Coast and the West Coast having their own distinct styles and champions under their belts (especially after the formation of Bad Boy Records and Death Row Records), the rivalry between the two scenes was starting to get intense. How much of this rivalry could be boiled down to kayfabe differed depending on who you asked at the time. There is a lot that has been said about this era from a vast number of different standpoints. And as we move through the years, we'll see even more distinct scenes and styles start to enter the conversation.

what kind of artists/genres do you think the gang listens to
these are burning questions that truly need to be answered, thank you
JAKE: you cannot tell me that this man’s top two listened to genres aren’t classic country and classic rock. like i’m sorry but mr. soldier boy definitely REEKS of it. some of his favorite artists would probably be lonestar, alan jackson, guns n’ roses, reba, led zeppelin, aerosmith, ac/dc, red hot chili peppers… the list goes on
NEYTIRI: honestly i see her being either a piggyback off of jake’s taste (bc they’d share playlists a lot lol) or listening to some very soulful r&b! definitely listens to marvin gaye RELIGIOUSLY (a woman of taste) but is also a fan of whitney houston, prince. dare i throw adele into this mix bc i just know ney would eat her vocals UP
NETEYAM: people are either gonna love or hate me for this but i think he is a HEAVY kpop lover + likes alt/indie music as well. he’s biiiig on girl groups like new jeans, le sserafim, and (g)-idle. is an AVID listener of rainbow kitten surprise, the backseat lovers, noah kahan. but he likes rock too (prefers metallica over ac/dc, don’t tell jake)
KIRI: i think she listens heavyyy to indie pop / alt / folk music. things that aren’t necessarily soft but have a more relaxed style beat is definitely up her alley. her top artists would definitely be girl in red, conan gray, phoebe bridgers, matt maltese, fleet foxes. (also listens to kpop, is the one who introduced neteyam)
LO’AK: this dude has absolutely horrible taste i’m so sorry. like it’s not downright terrible but he either listens to mainstream pop type music or the most horrid rap you’ve ever heard in your life. his taste in certain artists is good tho. he likes juice wrld, taylor swift, billie eilish, drake, lil uzi, role model
TSIREYA: i see her as either a mainstream girly, lofi playlist connoisseur, or being surprisingly into heavy metal lol. definitely think she’d have a jumbled up playlist full of taylor swift, ed sheeran, olivia rodrigo, van halen, slipknot, mötley crüe, plus various random lofi beats thrown in. her playlist is a mess but for some reason so good??
AO’NUNG: yeah no there’s no salvaging this man’s music taste. just accept that it is a literal dumpster fire and GO. his most listened to genre?? soundcloud rappers. but not even the good ones! i couldn’t even name any because they’re all so underground from never moving out of their ma’s basement. someone take his music privileges away pls

chara inspo : heather chandler ( heathers ) , whitney ( bring it on ) , cc babbcock ( the nanny ) , rebekah mikaelson ( the vampire diaries ) , gabrielle solis ( desperate housewives ) .
born and raised in anaheim hills . your typical orange county girl with a love for the beach , afternoons spent at the mall , and working the word " like " into nearly every sentence that came out of her mouth . her father , cesar , moved to southern california as a teenager to live with his grandparents after his parents had a run with the mexican government . it was quite the life style change for him but he was a quick learner . by his mid - twenties cesar had one of the most high - end " around the world " restaurants in the country , the aristocrat . it wasn't long before he'd meet his wife , georgia , a journalist looking to do a story on his business . by the time the story was finished the two were engaged , the type to believe the mantra -- when you know , you know . once the happy couple welcomed there daughter into the world , the aristocrat had already become an international sensation with restaurants in over twenty different countries spanning all six inhabitable continents . to say drea grew up with a golden spoon , would be an understatement .
at an early age her mom put her in beauty pageants , anything that brought attention to her golden child , whether it be modelling , cheerleading , or pageants . although the later was what drea was drawn to , she had a knack for it . the catty behavior behind the scenes , the fake smiles and fooling the world into believing outer beauty reflected inner beauty : it was sick and twisted , but she got a rush from it all . highschool was unsurprisingly a breeze for her , top of the class at her all - girl private school , was it because she deserved the academic accolades or because she did more than just batting her lashes at unsuspecting teachers , that was something she'd take to the grave . come time for college applications she stayed true to herself and her high - standards only applying to the most prestigious schools . when early acceptance came from stanford ( vocally her top choice ) , she didn't wait to see what other schools would accept her and committed to their fall semester of that year . while at stanford she took on cheerleading , a way to get closer to the football players , she was shameless & also joined the model un , for no other reason but the fact it would look good for pageants .
graduating in 2011 , she truthfully wasn't sure what she wanted to do with her degree . the world her oyster , she decided not to tie herself down with a career just yet . instead traveling the world for the next year , until she found herself in australia for an extended period of time , being brought under the wing of a real estate mogul who got her started in the industry . with his help she closed some of the most lucrative deals a young agent could only dream of .
a few months into returning back to the states , her mother informed her she'd put in for her to go on abc's the bachelor . a point of contention for them , as drea had no interest in displaying an facet of her love life for the public while all her mother cared about was getting more eyes on her daughter . it was some sort of sick affinity to live vicariously through her daughter and it would soon become a catalyst to the downfall of their relationship . despite her lack of interest in the show or the man at the forefront , when producers offered her a spot on the cast , she took it . she may not have liked it but andrea alcantara was her mother's daughter through and through . quickly becoming a favorite on the show both by the audience and by the man of the hour . anyone who knew her personally knew she wasn't being herself on the show , portraying herself as a sweet california girl , despite being anything but that . she had a deep rooted competitive nature to her , she simply was not wired to lose anything . inevitably the bachelor proposes to her and in a shocking twist of events , she says no . they date for a months following the show before she seemingly leaves him in th dust popping up on tabloids with a partner at her side .
drea's miss universe run started in 2014 when she won miss california , followed by winning miss america the next year . the facade of the perfect woman on full display for the world to see . although her fellow contestants saw through the mask , verbally and emotionally abused by the california native their was never any proof and so it all was spun on tabloids in drea's favor as a group of catty women with a bad dose of jealously . once the 2016 miss universe crown was placed on her head all the years of pagaents seemed worth it , she was happy to fulfill her duties for the next year and leave beauty pagents behind her . her mother not so fond of that idea , berating her to go on to miss world or miss international . this is around the time she cut ties with mother ( on really interacting with her during family functions ) .
in early 2018 the brokerage she worked for was approached by netflix , the producers seeing the opportunity to showcase the vivacious and cutthroat personalities some of the top selling real estate agents around . filming started soon after and when season one of selling sunset came out an entirely new light had been shed on her . called out by the public for being fake and cruel after years of portraying herself as something entirely different to the public . after a few seasons the outrage seemed to die down , after all , she was good tv and better yet damn good at her job . the top selling agent in the firm for the last four seasons . she's currently in talks with the heads of the firm and producers of the show to take over the international branch of the firm and potentially get her own spin - off show .
𝖑𝖆𝖞𝖊𝖗 𝖙𝖍𝖗𝖊𝖊 . facts .
the type to carry her dog everywhere she goes , whether it's into a coffee shop to grab her daily matcha or to do a house showing .
frequent flier at fashion week and overall any big fashion event .
released a book in 2021 titled " what if i lied ... " and autobiographical comedy book and ny times best seller , pretty much delving into what it would have looked like if she was in fact as bitchy as everyone says she is , moral of the story : she outs herself but makes jokes in between to make it palatable .
doesn't believe in lifting a finger , she has two assistants and an entire staff on her estate who do everything for her from cleaning to grocery shopping to reminding her of her daily schedule .
pretty straight edge , had her drug phase in college and hasn't touched anything since . although you can catch her with a glass of wine at any given time throughout the day .
𝖑𝖆𝖞𝖊𝖗 𝖋𝖔𝖚𝖗 . wanted connections .
i’ll put something here one day !

Raúl de Nieves
I became aware of Raúl de Nieves late last year when I stumbled across his sculpture and stained-glass windows commissioned for the Whitney Biennale in New York in 2017. His use of vibrant colours and the creation of fantastical humanoid creatures drew me to his work. Made from a multitude of readily available materials, including plastic beads, rhinestones and scraps of fabric, his life-size works felt visually aligned with my practice.
De Nieves bejeweled and bedazzled figurative sculptures are a kaleidoscope of colour. At times they may be human, alien or sprite. Certainly, they touch on the primal and mythical. They can be short or tall, disproportionate, many-faced, horned or winged, and they are fanciful, otherworldly, and magical.
Alongside his sculptures, de Nieves created a massive 12 x 5-meter stained glass window made entirely from cellophane, paper and tape. I remember making stained glass windows like this, on a considerably smaller scale, in primary school. I was so struck by this stratospheric elevation of such a simple process. It cemented the idea that making art isn't about the materials; it's what you do with them.
De Nieves draws on his Mexican heritage, Catholicism, mythology, folk tales, drag culture and vogueing, craft, and kitsch to explore notions of beauty and transformation. Speaking about his practice in 2021, de Nieves says, 'Building on traditional motifs, I've developed my own mythology and pictorial vocabulary … which are designed to spread joy and hopefulness in the viewer.
De Nieves's sense of absurdity, play and childlike wonder is also present in my practice. For de Nieves, more is more; while I prefer to make work that is pared back, however, we both seem to be exploring the nature of being in a similar but very different way. I was already developing my style when I came across de Nieves, so it would be a stretch to say his practice has inspired me. Instead, it feels more like his practice has validated mine both in the use of materials and the creation of fantastical creatures. It reminds me to keep going and to be true to myself and inspires me to push further and further.

Gosh, for me The Seven Husbands Of Evelyn Hugo was one of the worst book I've read this year. I mean it sounded so promising and I was excited to get to it (and surely Hollywood IS probably that crazy) but the writing was SO BAD 😣 and the characters incredibly shallow and one dimensional. Just my opinion ofc, but I have read sooo much fanfiction that is better than this book. (Sorry, I am a bit passionate with how much I hated that book and just could keep my trap shut, lol.)
Ahahah that's completely fine, though I'm a bit surprised since I don't tend to like books with bad writing or shallow characters. But, as I said, I'm not even halfway through it some maybe it's just the fact little has happened. But, as for writing, I don't think it's bad at all (and trust me, I had a bet with a friend we will read some very bullshit Fify-shades-esque book that many women read, and it was Turbulence by Whitney G, and lemme tell you it was bad writing, and the main female character was so fucking stupid that I kept banging her head into the wall in my mind throughout the entire book lol - and it has like 4.2/5 on GoodReads so you know). Maybe it's coz I'm reading it in my language and not in original version. Translating is such a hard job, especially when the style is more lyrical and nuanced. And sometimes when it's not so great but the translator knows their job they do it phenomenally. Dunno, but I haven't finished it yet but as for being 30% in I'm not completely put off so
I do love being passionate about hating something that a lot of people like (tho I have no idea if many folks like 7 husbands tbh). Most of the times I'm there, hating/disliking what the majority loves
