Thinking about the first time Michael starts to question his identity.

He's sitting with one of his cabin mates and a couple other campers who are talking about TV crushes. When they ask him what his were he just answers in confusion. He thought they were joking. Surely you can't feel all that about someone you don't even know?

The second time is listening to head counselors telling some of the myths around the campfire. Michael pays a bit more attention to the lover stories then before, again confused why so many gods go after someone the way they do.

The third time is about a year into his friendship with Jake. He noticed he'd been feeling different but he didn't think much of it. He figured it was anxiety given the poisoning of their tree and border.

But then Jake hugs him out of excitement one night after they won why on the same side in capture the flag. The other apologizes immediately for doing so suddenly, but Michael's too busy feeling like he's gonna melt into a puddle.

He immediately goes to Lee. Confused as he was absolutely certain he didn't have fever nor was sick.

Lee just can't help but laugh. Playfully teasing his brother about "having his first crush"

Michael has to stop and process that one for the next few days.

It doesn't help that Jake is such a clutz and always seems to be in the infirmary over some dumb thing, Michael can't avoid him.

He can't help but notice small details about Jake now then he had before, suddenly the feeling he's been having making somewhat more sense.

Lee finally convinces him to brave up and confess to Jake one night away from ears and eyes.

Jake nearly falls on the spot.

Apparently Jake's like Michael for awhile.

Michael explains his conflicted feelings to Jake, who tells him there's no problem in taking things by ear.

So, they start dating in secret why both are trying figure themselves out and ●♡●

Jake getting comfortable with being Unlabeled/Queer and Michael getting comfortable with being Demi.

Lee and Beckendorf are two the few that are aware of the relationship, both brothers 100% take any chance to tease the love birds.

Will's told for no other reason then he is attached to Michael's hip. Jake sees him as another younger sibling-

Though Will did threaten to send him to the infirmary if he hurts Michael- Jake's not sure how to feel about that.

I felt a chill down my spine- like that old saying about someone walking on your grave….Judging from the position of his blade, he (Ethan Nakamura) would've taken me- maybe by sheer luck- in the small of my back, my only weak spot. - The Last Olympian

Pain flared in his lower back- so sharp and cold he thought Khione the snow goddess had touched him….The tip of the golden sword jutted out through the front of Jason’s shirt, just below his rib cage. - The Blood of Olympus

Have you ever thought about how Ethan Nakamura, the child of Nemesis, Michael Vargus, a ghost that’s here to get his vengeance both with a poisonous weapon and aiming for the back of their opponent. Jason most likely stabbed where Percy’s Achilles Heel was placed? The biggest difference between them is that Ethan didn't stab Percy, but if he had it would have killed Percy. Whereas Jason getting stabbed doesn’t kill him but rather force him to heal himself.

Also I find the two descriptions of the incidents eerie, they aren't one for one but it feels like the same scenario with two different outcomes. I can't read one without thinking about the other if that makes sense.

🎧 in the closet michael jackson

“eunseok, what are you doing here?” you almost walked past him, doing a double take once you recognized the tall male resting on the wall of the crowded club.

“i could ask you the same thing,” he looks at you up and down, grinning slightly when you shifted under his gaze.

“im here with my friends”

“mhm, and where are they now?” he questions you when he realizes that no one he’s seen you around before was accompanying you through your stroll around the establishment, and knowing you were probably drunk he didn’t want a stranger to be the one to get your attention.

“wony left with her boyfriend, and ryujin is talking to some girl over there” you pout, moving closer to the boy and placing your hand on his shoulder, he looks down at your face then to where your hand rests, trying to get a good idea of your sobriety before he chooses how he’ll continue the conversation.

“feeling left out?” he raises a brow and you nod, hand going to his chest, playing with the lining of the leather jacket that covered his body that you were craving to see. “why don’t you go find some guys to hit on?”

“thats what i’m doing right now, isn’t it?” you look up at him, catching his eyes before he fights back a chuckle. you bite the inside of your lip, watching him react the way you like. getting him nervous was a skill only you had, no matter how he tried to fight it, he felt a shiver run through his body whenever you touched him.

“you’re drunk, y/n. lemme take you home?” he grabs your hand that drags from his chest to his shoulder soothingly. at least that’s what he tells himself, trying to ignore your attempts in seducing him.

“im not drunk, just horny” oh. he’s not surprised by your bluntness but its good to know you want him this bad in your sober state.

“i should get you home then. wait for me here while i bring my car around, pretty”

it was honestly perfect that eunseok was at the club at the same time as you, you planned on texting him when you were ready to leave. if you were lucky (like now,) you hoped he would take you back to your place or his and fuck you like he always did if you were in your right mind. sometimes you two wouldn’t even make it there and would just fuck in his car, you were too captivating for the boy and when you leave the house in your revealing outfits, how could he resist you? after all you called him of all people, and that fills his chest with pride.

after a night of drinking and dancing with other men, you would always call eunseok to take you home. the thought of you grinding on other men and possibly doing more with them while you weren’t under his supervision makes his skin crawl but he won’t admit it, you two aren’t together and its not his place. you just want a good fuck, and eunseok will always be there to give it to you.

once he’s out of your line of vision you try to find ryujin, going to let her know that you’re leaving and that you’re safe.

“your little boyfriend coming to get you again?” she gives you that look she always has when eunseok is the topic of conversation. there was more to your little arrangement with him that she was able to sense, even if you two deny it. the way he would spend the night with you after you two had sex, the way he would buy you food and anything else if you asked, the way he’s always conveniently free every friday night to come pick you up from whatever party or club you were at, he was always there. you two were friends with benefits, so he’s just being a good friend. a friend that fucks you absolutely stupid. a friend that looks at you with hearts in his eyes.

“he’s not my boyfriend, and he was already here, which saved me a desperate text” you roll your eyes and do a little shoulder dance, giving her a hint on what tonight’s activities will be.

“mhm, have fun babes”

you finally walk out of the doors, the brisk air of the night hitting your sweaty skin makes you shiver as you find eunseoks car. he leans on the door of the passengers seat, staring at everyone leaving the club and looking for you. he watches the way you walk to his car, studying your frame and focusing on the way your legs look in that dress. he also takes note of the way your face contorts in discomfort from your heels, making sure to remember to carry you up to your apartment once you two get there.

“you’ve officially hit #1 on my roster, for being such a gentleman” you joke as you stand in front of him, and he raises a brow.

“who was #1 before? and what was my ranking?”

“definitely in my top 10,” you pretend to think, getting eunseok riled up called for a great fucking once you got home. “and i’d say #1 was probably… sunwoo”

“baby, we both know sunwoo couldn’t possibly fuck you nearly as well as i do. and who do you call whenever you’re horny after a party?” he grabs your chin with his hand to keep your eyes on him, and you press your thighs together at his assertiveness. you almost have to hold back a whimper, he’s just so hot. “thought so. now get in the car, it’s cold”

the car ride was comfortable. eunseok let you have aux per usual, and he smiled to himself at the way you sang along to every song. he parks his car next to yours — a spot you reserved just for him, a spot you told him was just a regular guest space so it wouldn’t go to his head. so he wouldn’t get attached — and he runs to the passengers side of the car to open your door, and once you’re out of the car he’s picking you up. you yelp at the action but you’re thankful, your heels were staring to burn from the time you spent standing in your heels.

eunseok knows your apartment inside and out, in the darkness he’s able to navigate the two of you to your bedroom and place you delicately on your bed. you sit on the edge and lean on the palms of your hands while the boy turns on your bedside lamp, keeping the room at a comfortable brightness to keep you in the mood.

“look so pretty tonight baby, who were you trying to impress?” he lifts your leg to take off your shoes, caressing the skin of your calf as he slides them off your feet.

“sunwoo” theres a playful glint in your voice and eunseok stills. he gives you a look, one you know means that you pushed one of his buttons. you like that look, cuz it means he’s gonna fuck you into the mattress if you keep pressing it.

“wrong answer. wanna try again?” he smiles, giving you a chance to take back your (unfunny) joke.

“wanna fuck me?” you push your chest up into the air, and eunseok tsks at your behavior. you were so desperate for him, going as far as getting him jealous and irritated just so he can fuck you.

“keep acting like a brat and see where that gets you” he raises his brow as a warning, and you think now you’ll drop your little bratty act and be a good girl for him, but why not push his buttons one more time?

“gets me far with sun-” you can barely get his name out when eunseok his pushing your thighs open and leaving a sharp slap on the skin of your inner thigh, causing you to yelp. he keeps his hand there as he brings his body down so his lips are by your ear and you shiver, his thigh just an inch away from your core. you want to shift your body so you can make contact, but eunseoks fingers are digging into your thigh to hold you down.

“don’t know why you like pissing me off, just wanna get fucked like a slut, huh?” his words go through your ear and straight to your clit, and you have to once again stop yourself from whimpering.

“want it so bad, seok”

he hums, finally deciding to give you what you want. his lips attach to your neck, leaving hungry open mouthed kisses across the skin while his hand grips your thigh tighter. his other hand is traveling up your waist up your your chest. he gropes your tits, and you sigh at the feeling of his fingers making contact with your nipple. he doesn’t say anything to you, just groping your body.

taking his mouth off of your neck, he removes both hands off your body and you whine at the loss. he takes in your already fucked out state, smiling to himself at how easy it was to get you worked up. he pushes your body down onto the bed, not too rough but hard enough for your weak body to fall easily. thats before he grabs your waist hard, flipping you onto your stomach.

“ass up, baby” he taps your thigh, and you quickly find your balance to sit on your knees, keeping your face in the pillows how he likes. he mutters a good girl while he lets his hand lay on the swell of your ass, bringing it down the arch in your back before bringing it back up. he repeats the action, this time letting his fingers catch the fabric of the tight dress you wore, bringing it down so it bunches up at your stomach. he groans at the pretty lace panties you wore under your dress, wet patch prominent on them as you wiggle your ass in the air as a hint you want him to touch you.

“you made a mess in your panties” he coos at you as his fingers slowly hook onto the hem of the garment, pulling it down and seeing the string of your arousal that clung to you. you whine, pushing your face deeper into the pillow in embarrassment. eunseok really was the only one who could make you like this — completely soaked through your panties and have you so submissive despite your fiery personality. your pride and common sense left your body when it came to him. you didn’t care how stupid you looked begging for attention from a man who wasn’t even your boyfriend, you didn’t care how your friends would tell you to leave him alone if you two weren’t going to make it official, you couldn’t care when he was always there for you regardless of your arrangement, you couldn’t care when he makes you feel this good even when he’s barely touching you.

he brings his thumb to your core, gathering the slick thats dripping out of you before pushing it inside of you and you gasp, body jolting at the contact. he takes his thumb out of you and drags it down to your clit, pressing on the nub forcing a moan out of you. his finger circles your clit a few times and you can feel yourself getting wetter, and your body feels hot.

you grind against his finger, and he presses harder. “just fuck me already”

“gotta stretch you out first pretty girl,”

“dont care, want- need you now” eunseok groans at your eagerness. he knows how much you struggle to take him fully if he doesn’t prep you first, but with you pissing him off all night maybe you can struggle a bit.

he steps off the bed to get himself undressed, nearly tripping as he steps out of his pants. he grabs his wallet out of his jean pocket and pulls out a condom, tearing the packet open with his teeth and sliding the condom on. he hisses, he hasn’t touched his cock at all this whole night, too focused on how jealous he was and helping get you off.

getting back on the bed, he pumps himself a few times before placing his hand on your ass, lining up his cock with your hole. he presses in slightly, tip prodding at your entrance but not enough for you to feel him.

“seok-”

“show me how bad you want it” grabbing a fistful of your ass, he lets go to bring his hand back down harshly on the skin. you cry out, body jerking forward before eunseok is holding you in place.

you move your arms into a better position, moving your head from off the pillow so you could look behind you. you rest on your elbows, bringing one arm behind you so you could reach eunseok. the tip of his cock was so close to pushing inside of you, and when you push back onto him it almost gets fully swallowed by your wet heat. without his support its hard for you to get him inside of you fully and you whine, pushing back harder onto him in an attempt to get him inside of you.

he wants to laugh and tell you how pathetic you look trying to fuck yourself on him, dick not even inside you and you’re moaning. he wants to tease you and tell you that this is why he preps you. wordlessly, he pushes his tip inside of you fully. the both of you let out sounds of pleasure as your cunt takes him in.

it takes you a minute to relax around him, letting him push all the way inside of you. you feel so full, the pain from the stretch subsiding and you crave more. you move forward, letting him slide out of you almost completely until just the tip is inside of you before you press your ass to him, squeezing around his cock as he bottoms out again. your body trembles under his hold, the way he stays still with his hands on your ass, and he grips the flesh tighter each time you move.

he lets you get yourself off on his cock, giving you words of encouragement to keep going and slapping your ass each time your pace faltered. you felt like you were on cloud nine, but it still wasn’t enough. you couldn’t get him deep enough, and you weren’t moving fast enough for your own and his liking.

“fuck me, eunseok”

that's all he needed to move one of his arms to push your lower body back into the mattress, grabbing both your arms to put them behind your back and snap his hips forward. he fucks you with purpose, your body is weak under him as he builds a fast pace. you can feel the way his dick stretches you out with each pull, and you can’t help the way you clench around him each time his hips kiss the skin of your ass.

“pussy so tight for me, just for me right?” he lets his jealousy peek through, moaning and leaning over you to press his cock deeper inside of you. your eyes roll to the back of your head at the sensation, you open your mouth to moan but nothing comes out.

“yes, just for you- all for you” your voice is slightly muffled by the pillow, but eunseok can hear you and he’s satisfied with your answer. he thrusts harder, and you can feel the pressure of your orgasm building up in your stomach. “close, so close”

he could feel it, he knows once you can barely keep your eyes open and you cant let out any sounds that you’re going to cum soon, like you’re holding your breath anticipating the orgasm he’ll be forcing out of you.

except he’s not fucking you anymore. he’s pulled out of you and let your body fall limp against the mattress, body trembling and the shock of being deprived of sweet realease finally comes over you. your tense muscles stop you from sitting up and grabbing at him, all you can do is turn your body around so you’re on your back, weak no’s and please leave your mouth as eunseok watches you.

denying you an orgasm was evil, he knew it. but you deserved it tonight. and honestly, he was going to cum soon as well and needed a breather. he can never last long when he fucks you from behind, and fucking you in that dress — that goddamn dress you wore tonight, he swears he would’ve taken you in front of everyone in that club.

once he feels like he’s tortured you enough, he spreads your legs open, inching closer to you and lifting one of your legs over his shoulder. he holds onto the flesh of your thigh tight, and he uses his other hand to guide his cock back into your hole. it’s quick, and you almost scream with how deep he feels in this position.

he’s so pretty, focused on where your bodies connect as he finds the pace that makes you react the best. you stare at his face, the way it contorts in pleasure as he tries to get you to your peak. then you look at the way the muscles on his stomach contract, how you see his toned stomach glisten in the dim light of your room each time he pushed back into you.

“this pretty pussy is all for me right?” his free hand moves to your clit and you moan loudly as his fingers rub tight circles around the swollen bud. your throat was dry as you tried to get a word out.

“y-yours, seok-” you had a hand in the sheets, fingers turning white as the other goes to the back of eunseoks neck. you hold him close to your face, body bending almost uncomfortably but you felt too good to care.

“you like when i fuck you like this?” his words were warm against your lips, eyes locked in on yours as he talked to you. you were so close you could almost taste it.

“love it, love your cock, love it so mu-mngh” you were cut off by a rough kiss to your lips, his tongue swirling in your mouth once before he pulled away, face still close to yours as he looked in your eyes.

“i love you”

shit. fuck.

you didn't have enough time to process the words that left his lips before you were cumming, moaning right in eunseoks face and he pressed his lips to yours again. you tried your best to kiss back but your vision was going blurry and you were fading in and out of consciousness. he lifts his body up so he can fuck you faster, fingers still on your clit as your pussy spasmed around him. his orgasm hit him not too long after, hips stilling while he filled the condom up with his cum.

he took his fingers off you, pulling out of you and letting your body rest for a moment before he has to clean you up. he sits there, realizing that he just told you he loves you mid fuck. he doesn’t know what he should do — nothing he could say could help his case. what if you don't feel the same way? what if you did but he says the wrong thing? he doesn’t want to fuck this up. he’d rather have you like this than to not have you at all.

you were asleep now, eunseok wiped his face with his hands before getting up. he rid himself of the condom he wore and got a towel to clean you up with, shushing you softly when you whimper at the sensitivity. he put his boxers back on before walking out of your room, making way to your kitchen to get you some water. he sits you up and makes you drink it, telling you that you were so good for him and that you need your rest.

once you both were cleaned up, eunseok gets into bed with you and spoons you under the covers. before you let your fatigue take over, you let your brain recover the words said before you blanked out.

“did you mean it?” your voice was soft, a part of you hoped the boy was still awake, so he could tell you what he meant. but another part of you wished he was still asleep, you didn’t want to bear the emotions of being rejected right before you went to sleep. not while he was still here, in bed with you.

“of course i meant it. now go to sleep, pretty girl. we’ll talk in the morning”

a/n: when i tell yall this was supposed to be at most 1.5k but i got carried away… eunseok makes me crazy. i hope you guys enjoyed it <33

[transmutationisms]

i think you do a really impressive job balancing comprehensive/concise while referencing a lot of complex frameworks(contexts? schools of thought? lol idk what to call that. big brain ideas) but if you have any readings specifically on the institution of psychiatry topic that you would recommend/think are relevant, I'd be interested. it's absolutely not a conversation that's being had enough and I want to be able to articulate myself around it

yes i have readings >:)

first of all, the anti-psychiatry bibliography and resource guide is a great place to start getting oriented in this literature. it's split by sub-topic, and there are paragraphs interspersed throughout that give summaries of major thinkers' positions and short intros to key texts.

[magpiesandcrows]

My headcanon for Horangi and also some ideas for his backstory:

• He actually grew up in a religious household. His father was a pastor at the local church and his mother regularly held events that would donate its profits to charities.

• Due to this he couldn’t do a lot of things and learned to be sneaky. This lead to him being a daredevil as it gave him this rush that made him feel so good.

• In school he was a massive jerk. He was fairly popular and his friends weren’t the best influences. He often found himself bullying other students and taking this piss out of them just for a quick laugh. Horangi is very ashamed of this when he looks back on this

• After school he genuinely didn’t know what he wanted to do. He had spent most of time messing around and any time teachers tried to sit down with him. He would bush them off. So he spent most of his time picking up random jobs.

• When Horangi started to gamble, he couldn’t describe everything he felt in that moment. It was like he was living in a dream.

• While gambling, he did a lot of substances. He believed it gave him an ‘edge’.

• Horangi definitely has Collection of magnets, it started of with konig giving him a magnet from Austria and ever since. He just keeps getting it from konig and slowly the other members saw this and decided to help him with his collection.

• He spent every summer as kid at his grandparents. He has good memories of his sisters and him sitting in the garden while his grandmother tended to the garden.

• He firmly believes his mother cooking was the best and sometimes wishes that he got some of his mother’s recipes.

• He Never got to meet his nephew. When he was deep into his gambling addiction and debt. His sister tried to make him visit her but he kept saying he would but he never did. He regrets this as he never got to be the uncle he promised to be.

• He is the youngest and this is why he was able to get away with most of his behaviour in school.

• Horangi is actually a big Michael Jackson fan. His favourite song is Heaven can wait. He will randomly break into song when hanging out with his teammates.

• Him and his dad are actually close but started to grow apart when he found out Horangi stole the church money to gamble.

• He has a tiger tattoo on his back and this was essentially him signing himself away to his addiction but instead of being ashamed of it now, it makes him feel better that he has gotten this far.

• Horangi got humbled when he joined the army. He was skinny and lanky. He worked his ass of to get to his position. This made him believe firmly in tough love.

• Horangi hates fish. He can’t describe how much he hates it.

• Horangi is still quite religious. He doesn’t say he is though. He doesn’t follow it much like his parents but he still prays before he eats and before he sleeps.

• He has really bad back pains and often goes to chiropractor.

• He has beauty marks all over his face and he hated when he was growing up but now he thinks it was stupid he was ever insecure about something like that.

• Isn’t a cat person. He actually hated cats a lot but since he got his nickname he warmed up to them.

• He loves strawberries, reminds him of summer breaks with grandma.

Anyways, this is all I have! I definitely have more but I will come back when I remember them 😭

QSMP Awards 2024 Summarized

-The audio was scuffed for the first half. I don't mean a little crispy. I don't mean with a slight echo. It was fucked in every way imaginable. The audio sounded like it was going through a blender. Then it kept getting too loud, then too quiet (so much so we couldn't hear), all while being way too crispy. Charlie Slimecicle monologued to the audience while the team was trying to fix it but since the audio was both too crispy and too quiet we couldn't actually understand anything he was saying. This carried on for about 7 minutes with him holding two microphones, neither of which was working, before the stream crashed (again)

-All the staff are apparently Cucurucho, with one of them being a "main Cucurucho"

-Missa wore a "Quackity my beloved" shirt. I could not explain to you what the blazer over it was supposed to be.

-Everyone else at the ceremony was shown through discord call. I'm convinced Charlie has never seen German or Lenay's faces cause he did not know it was them until Quackity said their names

-The screen was supposed to switch between showing all the people on the discord and it kept switching between the same four people. If I have to hear Q, Charlie and Missa chant "Foolish" or "Pol" ever again-

-Mariana showed up and Charlie immediately went into bitter ex mode. He also hit on Mariana. Multiple times.

-We got a patented Ironmouse "coño" and chat lost their shit over Luzu existing, as expected

-Mariana looked like Michael Jackson, Bad's background could've been the set of Breaking Bad, Roier had a ski mask, lots of people learned what Lenay, German and Vegetta's looked like for the first time, and Mike had a kawaii filter

-Somehow Bad didn't even get nominated for Best Cucurucho Jumpscare, showing that even non-red carpet events can produce award snubs (congrats to Bagi!)

-Though I yearned for Maximus getting nominated for his Eh Vegetta prank, we all knew the win had to go to Vegetta for the mines

-The audio eventually became bearable but the echo never fully left. At some point there were like three or four overlaps of Vegetta giving his acceptance speech

-Acau won for Best Death from getting killed by an enderman (in my heart Foolish's accidental death by Pomme's sniper that got him eliminated from the elections won, but we did get Quackity dying to a fly as a nom so I feel complete. Also congrats to Acau!)

-The Qsmp shop is officially open! We got eggie merch :]

-Quackity forgot to roll clips for the Best Purgatory 2 Moment nominees and almost read out the winner before we got the montage (Wuant won! It was the clip of him being told he lost and he accidentally did a flip. They weren't able to get the acceptance speech on stream so we saw it from Quackity's phone)

-Funniest QSMP Moment nominees were all fucking hilarious, its hard to pick just one but Maxo winning for when he respawned after a lore-heavy moment in Pierre's bed to his own moans being remixed into a song absolutely deserved the win

-Saddest QSMP Moment was unnecessary and the admins will be hearing from my lawyers for making me relive Dapper's first lost life, Dia de los Muertos and the end of Purgatory 1 (Jaiden and Roier saying bye to Bobby won, Roier changed his screen to black and white and held up what looked like a mini Cucurucho being used as a cross)

-Best QSMP Original Song was played prematurely when the category was Best Language Exchange, and we got a spoiler for the winner (YD and Hugo's exchange won and YD's audio was muted so we just saw her Vtuber model getting excited)

-The aforementioned Best Qsmp Original Song had Gordinho Gostosinho looping aggressively over Charlie singing the Juanaflippa song, which I hope to god gets clipped cause it was hilarious (I'm glad the Roier and Cucurucho rap got nominated). Charlie was very confused why they had him announce his own win.

-Best PVP unsurprisingly went to Etoiles for his colosseum Code fight, after all he is the Best🔥 (the other noms were great too, we had Philza vs Tubbo in Purgatory, Bad and Maxo eliminating El Quackity from the elections, and a cute sparring session between Pac and Richas)

-Best Qsmp Fails went to Fit for that time Pac's internet cut out during their date (of course he bragged about his Brasilian boyfriend after learning he won for best loser)(also if it was up to me Quackity's fly deaths would've been added to this category just sayin')

-The audio problems were revealed to have been roleplay the entire time. Yep. All part of the lore.

-Speaking of, most of the winners who were in the discord call could not be heard so they had to give speeches through Quackity holding his phone up to the mic

-Best Roleplayer went to Roier for his Doied arc (the screen prematurely showed him before they could read the announcement, and his speech was him kissing the camera)

-Worst Server House went to Mariana accompanied with the classic clip of him reacting to the admins roasting his started base; Mariana was part of the discord call but left at some point so he couldn't give a speech, to which Charlie jumped on the opportunity to roast his absence like a shark smelling blood (they rightfully nominated Quackity for his clip of Acau reacting to his failure of a starter house, and apparently Carre's base is just his bed on a dirt plot)

-Most Iconic Clip went to Pac for stealing the Qsmp Logo (the other lovely noms included Foolish and co. accidentally closing their house door after a creeper came in an attempt to shut it out, and Tina reacting to a mob giving Felps a blowjob)

-The Most Bankrupt Islander went to Niki for being broke, we stan (during the nom montage we got a passa tudo mention)

-The Creator Who Spent the Most Time on the Server Award went to Bad, which was shocking to no one, although they did use his Barbie Girl clip for the nom montage (they also used Fit wearing a wig for his clip)

-The Qsmp cake for the one year anniversary had the text "FELICIDADES ALBERTO". We do not know who Alberto is. Pol was losing it.

-Tubbo won for The Creator With the Most Deaths (106), while The Creator With Fewest Deaths went to Philza (he only had 1!). Philza was able to be heard through stream but the hosts didn't know this so they would hear him from Quackity's phone and repeat what he was saying even though we could hear him

-Everytime the camera cut back to the hosts Charlie, Quackity and Missa had more cake on their faces

-Most Distance Traveled (in Minecraft) went to Etoiles (6,000+ km jfc)

-Creator With the Most Mob Kills went to Pierre (162,960 mob kills. what the fuck.)

-They accidentally read the award for Creator With the Most Damage Taken (Foolish) during the Best Builder announcement, confusing the shit out of everyone, especially cause the screen showed Mike instead of Foolish. I am still unclear who won Best Builder

-Creator With the Most Blocks Placed went to Mike!!! (MIKE WIN VAMBORAAAAAAAAAAA🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷)

-We had to uncomfortably sit through Missa feeding Charlie cake (and just Charlie in general)

-There was an In Memorium segment of the passed eggs (Quackity shat on a grieiving Charlie for Flippa only lasting 11 days, but in Charlie's words, "to you it was 11 days; to her it was a lifetime"). Charlie commentated and had nothing to say about Trump because he didn't know jack shit about Trump (though he did make a wall joke which is exactly what Maxo would have wanted godbless🙏)

-The stream ended with the discord people saying goodbye, while Roier was holding up the mini Cucuruchos and didn't move the entire time. I know he wasn't frozen because he blinked.

-Maxo sent in his acceptance speech video last minute and Quackity hyped it up as a mysterious final entry but Charlie guessed it was Maxo and spoiled it on accident

-Speaking of, Maxo's entry was him walking around heaven looking for Trump </3

-Charlie gave a heartfelt speech about the people he met through the Qsmp, all while looking like ate out frosty the snowman <3. Missa simpy thanked Alberto (we still do not know who Alberto is)

-Tubbo wasn't present in the discord call because he thought him streaming meant he couldn't join. After the stream Quackity called and Tubbo realized he was allowed to join the whole time

-We ended on a montage of various moments, with a message of excitement looking forward to the next year!

And of course, here are the screenies I managed to nab of the hosts slowly deteriorating into cake

July 19th, 1985 - Queen Story!

The Sun - I AM THE CHAMPION

Why Fantastic Freddie Stole Live Aid Show

(Boogie time for winners) by Nick Ferrari

Rock fans have been saying for years that Freddie Mercury is the world’s greatest.

Now the world knows how right they are–because Freddie and his band, Queen, stole the honours at the star-studded Live Aid concert.

His blistering show, with its haunting finale, left all the other pop greats standing.

Freddie, a very energetic 38, cannot resist giving it all he’s got once he is on stage.

He says: “I have to win people over, otherwise it’s not a successful gig. It’s my job to make sure people have a good time. That’s part of my duty. It’s all to do with feeling in control. That song We Are The Champions has been taken up by football fans because it’s a winners’ song.

“I can’t believe that somebody hasn’t written a new song to overtake it.”

In a revealing interview Freddie talks freely and frankly about his superstar friends, his astonishing song writing output and his sad love life.

_Shock_

His composing has brought him into constant with Elton John, Rod Stewart — and the reclusive Michael Jackson.

He says: “I recorded about two or three tracks with Michael, but none of them are out at the moment.”

It was Freddie who started recording State of Shock with Jackson, but he did not have time to finish it. Mick Jagger stepped in–and they had a hit.

A Mercury-Jackson duo was also planned for the smash-hit Thriller album, but that did not come off, either.

Not that Freddie worries over such set-backs. His recording career did very nicely, thank you, when he released his solo album _Mr Bad Guy_

“I was pleased with it,” he says. “I was also pleased with my voice. I like it husky. It’s all the smoking. That’s why I smoke — to get that husky voice.”

So how did he reach the high notes? “I used the Demis Roussos method,” he says. “You get a pair of pliers under the frock and go crunch!”

One of the tracks on Freddie’s new album is entitled Love Is Dangerous. Is that his view? He says: “I can be a good lover, but I think after all these years I’m not a very good partner for anybody. Maybe my love is dangerous, but who wants their love to be safe?”

_Tragic_

“I’m possessed by love–but isn’t everybody? Most of my songs are love ballads and things to do with sadness and torture and pain.

“In terms of love, you’re not in control and I hate that feeling. I seem to write a lot of sad songs because I’m a very tragic person. But there’s always an element of humour at the end.”

But for all his fame and adulation, Freddie remains a lonely man.

He says: “The album track Living on My Own is very me. I have to go round the world living in hotels. You can have a whole shoal of people you know looking after you. But in the end they all go away. But I’m not complaining. I’m living on my own and having a boogie time.”

And this man, with millions of fans all over the world admits he has few friends.

Freddie says: “When you’re a celebrity, it’s hard to approach somebody and say: ‘Look, I’m normal underneath.’ Then what happens is the tread all over me because by trying to be normal to somebody, suddenly I’ve come out of my shell and become far more vulnerable than most people.”

_Fun_

“Because I’m successful and have a lot of money, a lot of greedy people prey on me. But that’s something I’ve learned to deal with.

“I’m riddled with scars and I just don’t want any more.”

Instead Freddie turns to his fans to feel wanted again. He said: “I find even when people have let you down, you just want to go on stage. It’s very gratifying to know that all sorts of people want you.”

Freddie has also learned how to enjoy his fame. He says: “I was caught up in being a star and I thought “This is the way a star behaves. Now I don’t give a damn. I want to do things my way and have fun.”

“If all my money ended tomorrow, I’d still go about like I had lots of money because that’s what I used to do before. I’ll always walk round like a Persian Poppinjay and no one’s gonna stop me.”

“I love living life to the full — that’s my nature. Nobody tells me what to do.”

TEARS TURN ME ON

Freddie is a great admirer of modern band and current music in spite of his years in the business. He says: “I like Tears For Fears, Wham!, and Culture Club– they’re all very good. But Tears For Fears are among my favourites because they’re writing music I cam really relate to.”

_Dream_

“They’ve got a lot of rhythm and at the same time they’ve got a lot of aggression. They also have very good songs. But I love the Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin, above all other singers. She must have one of the best voices ever. She sings like a dream. I wish I could sing half as well as she does. It’s so natural.

“She puts her whole emotion into it. Each word she sings is full of meaning and expression. I could listen to it forever.”

Freddie also reveals his deep love of opera. He says: “Montserrat Cabelle is sensational. She has that same kind of emotion as Aretha Franklin. The way she delivers a song is so very natural. It’s a very different gift.”

But Freddie’s favourite band remains Queen who have been toether now for 13 years.

And he strongly denies making a solo album has threatened the future of one of the world’s greatest rock bands. Freddie says: “It’s probably brought us closer together and will enhance our careers.”

_Closer_

“It’s like painting a picture. You have to step away from it to see what it’s like. I’m stepping away from Queen and I think it’s going to give everybody a shot in the arm.

“But I’ll be working with Queen again. No doubt about that. Queen are gonna come back even bigger.”

'Live Aid'

[haechurch]

Having sex with haechan while michael jackson songs playing in the background? My kinda type of perfect date fr (literally) (oh my goooooood) all friends gathering in a villa for vacation and both of you cant stop being obvious for wanting each other in the first place. Exchanging gazes, eyes locked for a very long time when youre all playing in the living room with everyone literally being there, secretly having many skin ships when its yours and his turn to make dinner; holding hands for a good second, him pecking your lips when no one sees, touching your butt, caressing his cheek, feeding each others dish to make sure its not tastes so awful. "Haechan, that was a fucking five stars shit over there," "its a fucking five stars because we made it." And oh, who doesnt love bonfire, when the night is getting dark and deep, all of you are making yourself warm around the campfire, eating snacks and beers, chit chatting, telling scary stories, playing truth or dare, god, the whole vibe is just so right when you sit facing each other, being parted by the heat in front both of you, his face that illuminated by the fire beneath is so pretty, his eyes are focusing on you giving you the most longing stares, his smirking face that makes you go absolutely fucking crazy, especially when he keeps biting his lower lip; eyes heavy lidded and lashes almost seating heavily on his burned cheeks, oh, that moment you just wanna take him to your room and hug and kiss, and fuck him stupid. When everyone started to scattering into their room leaving the bonfire area, it is finally you and haechan, alone. Fucking finally. "Its so hard to control myself for not just attacking you when i saw you keep pressing your thighs together, princess," "oh? I thought you wouldnt notice, my bad." The sound from the bluetooth speaker starts playing michael jacksons playlist, and when the fire is finally extinguished, you straddle haechans lap and grinding on him, "oh youre not sorry at all." "What do you mean? I am sorry." "And why is that?" He started to caressing your thighs with that fucking smug faces of him ARGHHH hes so fucking hot i can imagining his face rn "i am sorry.. for making you hard?" He tossed his head back, clenching his jaw when you touch his hard on and whisper in his ear, he then exhale harshly while shifted in his seat, making you jolt, "you can just make it up to me pretty girl, now be a good slut and fuck yourself on my cock."

[notyouraryang0dd3ss]

Having a #1 Song doesn't mean SHIT anymore! It doesn't mean the song is a hit.

Let's be so serious rn. Nobody knows any of her damn fault track that keep charting. I asked my mom to name one song of hers and she could name "Shake it off."

Smooth Criminal went #7 in the US.

Remember the Time went #3 in the US.

Heal the World went #27 in the US.

They don't care about us #30 in the US. But it still went viral on tiktok. A song that is almost 30 years old!!

Thriller the song also never went to number one, but ask people to name one Halloween song they gonna name that song.

And what is more impressive, having 1M EAS the first day or still selling 1M EAS 15 years after your passed and more than 20 years after you dropped an album. Longevity is quality. 1M first day sales she's gonna sell that much for years. Hell, she be lucky if she even sold 50k in a year in 30 years.

5 music videos of his that are made in the 80's and 90's are about to have 1 billion views this year.

Billie Jean still gets 1M daily streams on Spotify.

I'm sorry if you aren't an Mjfan and I bring him up but he's the best example I can give you also because Swifties keep comparing her to him.

If people don't like the song they won't keep listening to it. And if Taylors song just stay in her fanbase and they just massstream her shit. Nobody is gonna know this song in 20 years.

Because what is the last hit Taylor Swift had that was known to the general public? Anti Hero maybe? Cruel Summer?

And something that is also funny is that, Remember when her drunk self got on stage and snatched the grammy from Celine Dion and didn't even look at her.

And people were pissed and her team was quick on working getting a picture with her to mend the damage.

Celine Dion has 5 Grammys and Taylor Swift has 14.

But they knew that Celine Dion got more respect from the GP then Taylor will ever have. And that is something you cannot buy. And they know if someone wins out of pure talent or just because of favourism. And let's be real. Most people know these award shows are rigged and they don't care about it.

Like when RollingStone came out with that fuck ass best singers list that put Taylor at #102 and excluded Celine Dion. People were mad that Celine was included but Taylor was.

Or just recently they also called her the better Adele. Nobody from the GP was like oh yeah that is true.

I mean they can try to name her the Queen of Pop in one of the award shows alà Michael Jackson style, but it's not gonna work with her. When he got that name people actually agreed and they still do. Outside Taylors cult nobody will agree with that.

Taylor's Team is aggressive with the Marketing and pushing these numbers onto us because they know outside of it she has nothing to offer. Her talent isn't marketable. Her singing and dancing isn't that impressive. The most marketable things about her career are her wealth and business success. Have they ever talked about her performance while she is on tour. What is so impressive what she does on stage? No they just keep talking about the money she makes.

No I completely get why MJ is a relevant comparison here. Swifties do keep comparing TS to him and for that alone they need to collectively get their asses beat. But you used good examples and I just want to applaud you for that

& you’re right, I can’t name a single vault track. Every time I’m exposed to her its against my will through my recommended (and its usually so out of place too because i watch really weird video essays).

Charts truly don’t reflect cultural impact because Drunk in Love by Beyoncé never went #1 and neither did Toxic by Britney Spears but both are super well known. Anti Hero is probably the last single to go #1 but I genuinely felt harassed by that song 😭 its sooooooooo bad

Yes! The vocal trinity—Celine Dion, Mariah Carey, and Whitney Houston—have done SO MUCH for music and all have less than half of Taylor Swift’s amount of Grammys. Celine and Mariah each have 5 and Whitney has 6.

I didn’t watch the Grammys this year (forgot to) but I heard about the Celine Dion incident I was SHOCKED because the audacity of this woman! Her entitlement shows in everything she does and she’s really starting to believe her commercial success makes her a better artist.

THE ROLLING STONE LIST WAS BULLSHIT. THEY DIDN’T INCLUDE JENNIFER HUDSON EITHER! Their definition of a “singer” was soooooooo bullshit too like that magazine’s merit has gone down so much in the past 20 years it should be regarded with way less status and credibility. And who tf called TS better than ADELE?

You’re right, her moniker will be chosen by the general public (probably from a viral tweet/tiktok/etc).

And she needs aggressive marketing because she really is a below average musician in all respects! She has her songwriting but she should’ve just been a hit songwriter (like Estelle Dean) not a singer. What makes her marketable is very “ordinary” image—which makes her relatable to “every girl, like me and you” 🙄 her soft voice really creates an intimate atmosphere especially with her vulnerable (but superficial) lyrics. She has to be friends with her fans for her success to work. Because there is no way you can justify her being regarded as a “god” the way people do with Beyoncé and MJ otherwise.

🎯 with the Eras Tour coverage. No one ever references or cites a particular jaw dropping vocal performance or dance number. It’s always the amount of wealth she’s generating.

[soleminisanction]

U know i do kinda find it weird how some make steph have camaraderie w the ppl that tim knows

Like outside of the generaal batfam sphere(excluding helena bc she is a outlier and maybe jason but even then they get paired up in fandom spaces)

She just not?? Amicable or a team player tbh

Like in yj19 all the sudden the c4(excluding tim) are cool w steph??? Like what? When did that happen???

(or even that arc that they went to evil alt earth where they are all evil but steph isnt??? Writer did u not even realize what you have said about the other steph???)

Idk i just think of all bat character, she is to be stricly gotham base

I give Brian Michael Bendis (the writer on YJ19) a pass because I was following him on Twitter from the point YJ19 and the Wonder Comics imprint was announced, all the way through the end of that series.

From the second the announcement was made, his social media was completely inundated with people demanding that Stephanie be included in YJ19, entirely because she'd last been seen leaving Gotham with Tim. He also got flooded with asks about whether Cissie would make an appearance, or Aqualad (because YJ animated was still at the peak of its popularity and there was a whole contingent of fans who had zero clue that Kaldur was created for that show and that Jackson Hyde looks like but isn't exactly him), but with Steph? He and his co-creators got full on harassed, and it only got worse because she happened to turn up in a flashback in Issue 4. There were Internet journalists who derailed interviews he was giving to hype up his new Black and gay heroines just to demand more Stephanie, it was bad.

And then there was this whole mess that's going to be hard to explain succinctly. But it boils down to: given the timing of when the series was announced, they almost certainly had issues #1-#3 fully drawn and either at or on its way to the printer, issues #4-6 at least partially drawn and colored, issues #7-9 completely scripted and possibly with pencil drafts under way, and issues #10-12 drafted, with an outline already prepared for the second year if they thought they were going to go beyond 12.

But then something happened after the announcement -- and it had to have been after the announcement, otherwise they could've pushed back their release dates -- that led them to rewrite the entire second half of the year, everything from the end of #5 on. You can tell because the covers, which get made ahead of the rest of the issue, start going really wonky from #6 on and don't match up with the contents of the story, plus there's disconnect in the early solicitations. Also they skipped a month between #6 and #7 while making #7 basically a filler issue with guest artists who happen to have very simple, quick-draw cartoony styles that are easier to produce in a hurry.

That kind of turn-around on a publishing project is nuts, it's not fun to deal with. I would be surprised if Bendis had time to give his artists more than a "shitty rough draft" to work off of. But like I said he was still getting this constant barrage of demands for Steph so, as long as he was doing rewrites anyway, he took the chance to drop her in, or maybe the editor insisted he do so to try to bring in more readers. Either way, he just didn't have the time to make it good or put any thought into it.

I honestly feel so bad for their whole creative team. That's such a terrible situation to be in, and the first five issues make me feel like they were really putting their hearts into it. It's so sad it got derailed so badly.

Fear level counting: Fencing Club part 2

If the conversation with Adrian ended early (before going through 7 topics), including the cases where Adrian left on his own for whatever reasons, and MC has a thunder phobia, there is a mandatory +1 fear at the start of this segment. MC with fear phobia also gets +1, as well as MC with bold stat being under 20 and MC with caution level of 7 or higher (those four increases don't stack together). Meanwhile, MC with greed vice is enjoying -1 here (also doesn't stack).

Trying to go against the script force yourself into the proper changing rooms gives +1 fear.

At the start of changing, once there is a strange shadow in the mirror ("No, no, it's only your reflection staring back at you"), MC with greed vice gets another -1, while MCs with fear phobia, bold stat being under 20 or caution level of 7 or more get another +1.

As always, ignoring the creepy (#I ignore it and continue putting on my uniform.) gives -1 while increasing denial stat.

Once the creaking noices start ("And then there comes a... Creaking!"), there is another mandatory +1 with additional +1 for fear phobia.

Having a normal one about all of this (#Why am I smiling?) will give -2 fear, as well as a bunch of other unpleasant stat changes like willpower reduction, denial increase, corruption increase and potentially vice level increase.

Acting unwisely (#Iiiiiii waaaaalk towards the soooooound.) also gives -1 fear with the same unpleasant consequences and -10 HP on top.

Hiding (#I hide underneath the nearby sink., unavailable for active possession and greed vice) or trying to run away (#I lunge straight for the restroom exit., unavailable for active possession and greed vice) give +1 fear.

Meanwhile, choosing to become possessed (#I poke my head inside the stall to see what's truly going on in there.) will give -1 fear, denial increase, corruption increase and, well, possession.

Once the creepy stuff ends, calmly walking out of the restroom (#I calmly walk out the door in a very expedient manner. or #I take a moment to compose myself and then nonchalantly go strolling out., both are unavaliable with fear phobia or fear level of 7 or higher) will give you -1 with no bad consequences. Fake it till you make it in its finest!

MC with wrath vice can get -1 fear (and -2 HP) with #I slam into the door with all my righteous fury. Surely it'll open this time, right?, but this option becomes available only if you tried to get out of the restroom early (#Screw this, I'll just finish changing out in the corridor. or #I lunge straight for the restroom exit.).

Inviting Adrian to cheer for you during the duel (#I invite Adrian to a have a front row seat to my next match.) gives -1 fear (and gets you saved Zain).

Successfully pulling a Michael Jackson (#I AM Michael Jackson. I put on a single glove and moonwalk to the piste.) can give -1 fear, but it requires your body stat ("Physical Strength + Athleticism" on the stat page) to be 30 or higher.

Doing a cocky pose before at the start of the duel (#I strike a delicately posed stance, balanced on one leg, knee bent and lifted above my hips, arms extended at my sides like the wings of a crane, as my sword points at the unseen heavens above.) results in +1 fear for MC with thunder phobia.

Once Sefu's sword shatters, being overly cautious (#Somehow my eyes are still drawn to the darkened doorway.) gives +1 fear, but on the other hand it decreases denial.

The best outcome for Zain (#I strike down the flying mid-air shards with nothing but my blade alone.) gives -3 fear, but it may require a lot of stats. See Zain accident guide for details.

The second and third best outcomes for Zain (with him being saved by Adrian or his own mask) give -1 fear. Although, the mask route can later backfire with +1 fear for MC with attention phobia. In Adrian's save route looking at either Adrian or Zain give additional -1 fear.

Injured Zain results in +3 fear instead, with additional +1 for death phobia or fear phobia.

Looking for creepy instead of helping injured Zain (#Through it all my eyes are still drawn to the darkened doorway where it still awaits.) increases fear with +1 but decreases denial.

Medic MC can apply pressure to Zain's wound without getting their glove(s) off first (#Immediately apply pressure to the area directly below the artery with my gloved hands.) for -1 fear, but that will result in dead Zain if MC has 2 gloves on.

Removing gloves before applying pressure with medic MC and not checking Zain's pulse later on will result in -2 fear, once the paramedics arrive ("An eternity of heartbeats before the wail of distant sirens rises in the background.").

Non-medic MC can get their chare of fear level changes as well (as long as they help Zain via #I sprint to Zain's side. or #I sprint to the First Aid station situated against the far wall adjacent to the lobby. which requires to not have fear phobia, blood phobia and death phobia):

Getting off your glove(s) (#Remove my glove(s) and clamp my hands around his neck.) will give -1 fear. It won't help to save Zain, though.

Readjusting (#Readjust your grip... perhaps there's a better place to press.) will give another -1.

Doing nothing at the second choice (#Still I can do nothing more but stare at all this happening.) will give +1 fear.

Once Zain is packed away, MC with death phobia or fear phobia gets +1.

Non-medic MC who does nothing can get -1 fear with cursing (#"Holy fucking Christ what the damned hell in--" I begin spouting a long litany of curses. It won't help in this situation but at least it'll make me feel better.). But if this MC has blood phobia, they get mandatory +2 instead and can increase it with another +1 with hyperventilation (#Hyperventilate.) or psyching up (#BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD).

Voluntarily possessed MC can't help at all and gets a guaranteed dead Zain, -20 HP, an injured ankle and mandatory +1 fear for their troubles. And another +1 unless they are a medic, police detective, or have combined sass score of 30 or less, sweet score of less than 20 and corruption level of less than 4. And another +1 for death phobia or blood phobia.

Looking back at the scene of incident (#I turn to look, there's nothing there I haven't seen before.) will give +1 fear and corruption increase.

I'm trying to create a playlist with like, the best diss tracks of all times (and other songs that discuss the hip-hop/rap community and its members). do you have any recs?

The Most Unforgettable Diss Tracks in Hip-Hop History

Me personally, it only took one listen for meet the grahams to have me shook asf lmao, but I've been having a Ball with Not Like Us.

Hit Em Up is a classic for sure, like "first off, fuck your bitch and the clique you claim" is one of my favorite iconic lines. And Pac said a LOT of fiery shit in that song 🤣 like if we had beef and he said that shit to me, we have to throw fisticuffs. Like damn Pac no wonder they shot you 🤣 One thing I've noticed is that if you cover this song over other beat, it sounds like it belongs there.

No Vaseline by Ice Cube... Look. You can't be the lyricist behind N.W.A. and NOT have fire.

You said rap, but technically Bad by Michael Jackson is a diss track too 🤣

I'm not a rap/hiphop head fr, so it's not like I can give you detailed suggestions. Some stuff is just culturally Black knowledge. So i hope other people reblog with their suggestions!

the summoning choreography chart

lads the autism got me again. we're in npmd lockdown.

I finally managed to figure out which little 'dance' belongs to each Lord In Black in "The Summoning" bc its hard to tell and it was bugging me. here's a vid for reference.

wiggly - space invaders lookin shit probably meant to be emblematic of his mouth tentacles (0:58, 1:52)

nibbly - licks his lollipop - when others do this they mime licking their hand or any other prop they're holding (1:06, 1:15)

blinky - makes a little triangle w his fingers and looks through it (when pokey does this he looks through his mask) in a sweeping left to right motion (his left). (1:12, 4:53)

tinky - both arms out front and then both arms back cross-country skiing vibes (4:58)

pokey - alternates one arm up one arm down giving drama, michael jackson, disco vibes (1:01, 1:09, 1:19, 3:01)

they each start 'out of the depths of hell and back' doing their own dance and then switch around doing each others dances until 'you summon us once, you summon us twice'

when I compared it to the digital ticket version and I was able to determine the exact order of each Lord's choreography

so i made a chart for yall who wanna learn the summoning choreography under the cut.

i need to sleep

glossary of dance moves and the shorthand i used for them.

im not a choreographer. i am bad at describing how people move in space. so. I used timestamps from the reference video from before. please god do not follow my mediocre descriptions - watch the people in the video do it and copy them.

W - Wiggly (0:58, 1:52)

N - Nibbly (1:06, 1:15)

B - Blinky (1:12, 4:53)

T - Tinky (4:58)

P - Pokey (1:01, 1:09, 1:19, 3:01)

SS - shoulder shimmy (1:21, 4:05, 5:12) (the lords in black-ah, the lords in black-ah)

JN - jerky nod (1:25, 2:26, 5:06) (the devil has won it can't be undone)

KK - karate kid (wax on/wax off) (2:29)

KKT - karate kid tree edition - there’s one wax on for each side and then they do a thing in the middle that looks kinda like a tree. Idk how else to describe it thats why i add timestamps. (5:00)

WW - whatever we want (2:57)

TR - tra la la la (the skip they do on Stephanie has got a gun) (4:31) (it's hard to see in this version, i highly recommend checking out the digital ticket version if possible. they show this move first in the proshot bc they focus entirely on steph for the next line, but it does go second in order behind KK - you can see jon start to do KK at the transition into chunk 5 in the ref video, and at the end of the chunk he's bent forward bc he just got done doing the bowing part at the end of TR (you can see pokey doing that like 3 seconds earlier after nibbly does the skipping part)

i divided the song into chunks based on when the singing/dancing starts & stops.

Chunk 1 (0:58-1:31)

Chunk 2 (1:52-2:00)

Chunk 3 (2:26-2:32)

Chunk 4 (2:57-3:04)

(they don't dance on 'we don't give a shit about your phone' but it's b/w these two chunks in case you're interested)

Chunk 5 (4:31-4:37)

Chunk 6 (4:53-end)

The dance changes every two lines-ish, and each time they all change together. they all do the same thing for chunks 3-5 so I only included it on the first one (Pokey)

each lord in black does each move a lil differently so don't sweat if you can't do it the exact same way as the one (1) example I was able to find of x move in the proshot lol

Breath of… the Final Selection? | Chapter 5 | THAT TIME MICHAEL JACKSON WAS REINCARNATED AS A DEMON LORD | KNY + F! READER INSERT

Masterlist | TTMJWRAADL Masterlist

Key:

Japanese: normal text

English: bolded

Thoughts: in italics

"Wait, so, you're saying I can go to the final selection?"

"Yes."

"Even if I didn't slice that rock in half?"

"That is correct."

You stare at the older man dumbfounded. You found it oddly convenient how Urokodaki was willing to let you go to the final selection, especially after you failed to slice your own stupid boulder. "Are you sure? This isn't a prank or anything right?"

He nods his head, "If it weren't for the fact that Tanjiro had passed the final test, I would not have allowed you to go to Mount Fujikasane."

Right...

"I trust that the two of you will be able to protect one another and that you both will make it back home alive."

Nodding your head vigorously in agreement, you cast your gaze toward the only other person in the room. Tanjiro was currently focusing on cutting his hair in preparation for the final selection.

Goodbye long-hair Tanjiro

Shortly after, Urokodaki walks back into the room with two masks in hand. “I have prepared these masks for the two of you to wear. They are called the mask of disaster prevention, they should help keep the bad luck away from you both.”

Kinda surprised I got one too. Too bad I won’t have it for long. It’s pretty…

Taking the mask offered to you, you examine its design. Like Tanjiro’s, and you’re assuming Urokodaki’s many other students, it was a hand-carved fox mask with pastel-pink flowers decorating its forehead, cheeks, and ears. The part around the eyes and mouth was a pretty gold color, and its mouth was similar to Makomo’s smiling one.

Aw, this is such a cute mask.

Sending a thankful smile to Urokodaki, you place the mask over your face. It fit surprisingly well, not feeling constricting at all. “How do I look?” You ask your scarred companion. “It suits you well [Y/N],” Tanjiro responds with a smile. Urokodaki interrupts the shared moment between the two of you, two blue haori with a cloud pattern in hand.

So it’s finally time

➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶

The next morning came quickly, with Urokodaki waking both you and Tanjiro very early in the morning. The two of you rush to get dressed, putting on the haori that Urokodaki had given you the night before. 

After giving Nezuko a heartfelt goodbye, Tanjiro, Urokodaki, and you made your way outside of your shared home. Urokodaki was quick to reassure Tanjiro over his worry about leaving Nezuko for a week. The both of you share a determined nod before turning to leave. As you ran away from the cabin, you gave your goodbyes to the man who had been teaching you the past few years. “We’ll be going now, Urokodaki-sensei!” As you both continue running, the older man waves you off, “Say hello to Sabito and Makomo for us!” Urokodaki’s arm freezes mid-wave, “Tanjiro… [Y/N]... How do you… Know the names of those dead children?”

➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶

The sun had fully set by the time you and Tanjiro reached Mount Fujikasane. The two of you walked side by side, as you walked the path decorated with Wisteria trees. “Oh wow, Tanjiro! It looks so pretty! It’s almost like they’re glowing!” You exclaim your admiration for the beauty of the mountain. “Wisteria isn’t normally supposed to bloom this season,” he responds to you as he gently reaches toward the flowers.

Finally reaching your destination, the two of you are met with a massive group of people scattered around the meeting place. You quickly spotted Zenitsu and Kanao, the two sporting bright haori's as they stood separated from the other background characters people. It also wasn’t too hard to find Genya, his distinct mohawk helping him stand out from the rest.

“Greetings everyone,” the synced voices of the twins Oyakata-sama’s son and daughter called out to the group, catching everyone's attention. The black-haired child speaks first,  “Thank you all for joining the final selection tonight. There are a lot of demons held captive on this mountain brought back by demon-killing swordsmen. They are unable to leave.” His younger, white-haired sister quickly picks up where her brother left off, “Because from the mountain foot to halfway up, there are a lot of demon-repelling wisteria that bloom all year round.” They now speak together, “However, from here on out, there are no more wisteria. Only demons. If you can survive here for seven days, then you pass the final selection.” After a brief pause, they finish off with a sentence that spiked your anxiety, “Now let the final selection begin."

With your heart racing, you give a quick glance at Tanjiro as he takes your hand and rushes into the mountain. 

“Hey, hey, you go over there. I eat these two!” “Hell no, get out of here!” Two voices alert you to the incoming danger, two demons jumping into your view.

Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit, oh shit! Demons! There are actual demons right in front of me!

As the two demons continue to argue over who got to kill you and Tanjiro, Tanjiro takes a stance, prepared to defend you both. “That’s my prey!” “Shut it!” They then turn to attack you both, “We’ll just decide it by whoever gets to them first!” 

The two demons rush to attack you both, fear overtaking your body as the reality of the situation sinks in. 

I’m going to die here.

“Haven’t tasted human flesh in such a long time!” You're frozen in fear. No matter how hard you try to move your body to defend yourself. Tanjiro gives you a glance of concern before taking a deep breath and quickly slashes the heads of both demons off. “[Y/N], are you alright?”

“I-” Your voice shakes as you struggle to swallow the lump in your throat, “I’m okay…” Tanjiro shuffles closer to you and puts a comforting hand on your shoulder. “It’s okay. You don’t have to force yourself to do anything. I’ll keep you safe.” A sense of shame floods your body,

I’m so stupid. I can’t believe I just stood there while Tanjiro did all the work. What if I get in his way and get us both killed? All of our training would have been for nothing if we die here…

“No, next time, I won’t let you do all the work. Next time, I’ll be the one protecting you, okay?”

His look of concern shifts into one of kindness, “I’ll be counting on you then [Y/N].” Tanjiro's expression shifts back into one of sorrow as he faces the bodies of the demons he decapitated. As you observe him, you can see he's holding back tears, thinking to himself. He gives them a final prayer as their bodies quickly disintegrate into nothingness, their unfortunate souls being sent to hell.

"Tanjiro," You call out to him softly. "I'm alright, I just-" Tanjiro interrupts himself, covering his nose with his hands, a disgusted expression settling over him. It only takes the scream of a quickly approaching wannabe slayer for the smell to hit you.

HOLDS A MICROPHONE UP TO U

may i hear about the hya "all that glitters" playlist,,

ah YES the man of the hour—his playlist is full of edm/electronic/generally cunty songs that can be Slightly Too Revealing (he hates it but dude it’s him). i need to find more songs to put on this playlist: the problem is im not as Well Versed in this genre of music SO i don’t have much saved on my own so i’d really have to go look for it (and i don’t save songs onto playlists if i Don’t like the song also like we have to AGREE)

anyway, here’s the short track list lol

of course there’s stromae there lol but dude i cannot point at lyin to myself enough it is LITERALLY hya in a song

just the chorus,

these old shades / make me feel safe / these gold chains / make me feel brave, baby / it ain’t you / so please don’t change / i can’t be true to no one else / too busy lyin’ / lyin’ to myself

and like *shakes this man screaming in agony*

papatoui is also stellar because stromae aka its french + daddy issues in a song??? yah.

give into me was the only rock song i was able to sneak into this playlist, but it’s a cover of the michael jackson song (i just think said cover fits the agony of amon and hya’s absolute disaster of a relationship) + s&m cuz yknow. Sex.

and then hot in it / nails, hair, hips, heels / black widow are all hya is a cunty bad bitch energy
