I got to see Wicked last night, and whoo boy I have thoughts. Cut for spoilers, you've been warned.

I'm looking forward to seeing the 'Good News' song at the end of the second movie - Glinda already looked conflicted about the Giant Elphie Effigy (good lord those munchkins work fast)

Also, I thought the movie highlighted better that those in Munchkinland knew Elphaba her whole life, and this is still how hard they bought in to the propaganda.

The little hint that Glinda's bubble is all mechanics. Chef's kiss.

Glinda's bubble has a Designated Landing Place. Just. Consider all that implies, with Glinda having been until very recently the Wizard's goodwill ambassador.

'Take it away' will never not be heartbreaking. Also, of course Elphaba is going to grow up a fierce defender of animal rights, she was raised by a talking animal, and that bear was the only one to be kind to her consistently through her childhood. Dafuq.

Baby!Nessa!Rose's little meeps. Just. I died.

'Oh, they're going to miss me.' Galinda I love you you ridiculous gal.

I like this twist on why Elphaba was at Shiz. I loved the way she so desperately wanted to go, but couldn't ask for herself. I loved her trying to defend Nessa Rose's independence... and then still being blamed for stifling her. Excellent.

Also did y'all see the picture of the animals behind the cracked and fallen fresco of the Wizard in that scene? Foreshadowing my beloved.

Galinda writing a little 'it's great' card put on top of the saddest pile of bedding you've ever seen.

'What is this Feeling?' omfg. I loved Elphaba putting her foot down about the roommate situation.

I also liked that they moved Elphaba's talk with Dr. Dillamond off-campus. It makes more sense that this status-quo challenging talk would be done away from the powers that be.

Also it sets up Fiyero running into Elphaba (literally) better, and omfg. I love that horse, he's great, more horse in the second movie please.

Omg Galinda flirting. And Fiyero flirting back, but Galinda (and Elphaba) missing that at that point Fiyero was flirting with pretty much everyone because hey, it's fun, it's easy, and it works.

On that note, Fiyero flirting successfully with the librarian. <3

The whole Ozdust scene. All of it. The outfits, the dancing, the prolonged social anxiety/social embarrassment. The way Elphaba refuses to show she's been hurt. The way Galinda finally understands that. THE DANCE APOLOGY.

I did find it a little weird that one of the only lines cut from the musical was the 'Lemons and melons and pears. Oh my' bit between Boc and Nessa Rose.

Also can we talk about how excellent Jonathan Bailey is as Fiyero?

'Popular' is, as always, fantastic. And highlights just how good Galinda is going to be at the politics of this world.

'That might be your secret, but that doesn't make it the truth' AUGH GALINDA just rip out my heart why don't you.

I liked that when Elphaba rescues the lion cub, she's more restrained/talented than in the beginning of the movie. It makes sense, she's been learning all this time.

THE BIKES. THE LION CUB IN THE BIKE BASKET. THE WIZARD OF OZ CALLBACK. LOVE.

The mushroom things during 'I'm Not That Girl', idk what those were but they were so so pretty lord I love the world-building.

That scene of Nessa Rose, Boc, Galinda, and Fiyero all together, and Elphaba on the outside in the dark. Fiyero looking out over the courtyard as he's being pulled away. Augh, all of it.

The way the students turned on a dime the second Elphaba got that invitation.

That. Train. Steampunk my beloved.

Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth getting singing roles, YES, THANK YOU, that was such a great surprise, I was squeaking like bebe Nessa Rose.

On the flip side... sigh. I called it. Jeff Goldblum was... very Jeff Goldblum. That guy, while a lot of fun, is the exact same character in pretty much everything he's been in for the last few years. I still think that casting was a mistake. Hear me out: The original Wizard was Joel Grey. Joel Grey was also the Emcee in Cabaret. ... so tell me it wouldn't both be great casting and an awesome call back to have casted Alan Cumming as the Wizard. I can't have everything I guess.

Also, and it might be just me/the effects of a late night screening, but when Elphaba and Galinda are walking into the palace, with the doors slamming behind them, and there's a scene with the torchlit hall behind them? Didn't the fire look like how the flames in the original Wizard of Oz movie looked? Just sort of... fuzzier and blurred than how film tends to pick up fire these days? It might have just been me.

Also this movie does have a bit of the Les Mis problem - you've got some cast members with serious vocal chops... and theeeeeen there's the ones that... tried hard. Great actors every single one, but would it have killed the director to find people for those roles that could match vocally as well? This movie doesn't need big names. We're not going for the big names, people.

I liked how the movie explained better why the Wizard not being able to read from the Grimorie was such a big deal.

The monkeys. Oh, the flying monkeys. Also the scene of Madam Morrible framed by flying monkeys. Thanks for breaking my heart.

'Defying Gravity'. All of it. Every bit of it. Holy. Shit. Holyshit. HOLY. SHIT.

So yeah, I'm going to have to see it eleventy-billion more times before it leaves theaters.

‘A marker of luxury and arrogance’: why gravity-defying boobs are back – and what they say about the state of the world

Breasts have always been political – and right now they’re front and centre again. Is it yet another way in which Trump’s worldview is reshaping the culture?

It was, almost, a proud feminist moment. On inauguration day in January, the unthinkable happened. President Trump, the biggest ego on the planet, was upstaged by a woman in a white trouser suit – the proud uniform of Washington feminists, worn by Kamala Harris, Hillary Clinton and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in solidarity with the traditional colour of the suffragettes. In the event, the white trouser suit barely got a mention. The show was stolen by what was underneath: Lauren Sánchez’s cleavage, cantilevered under a wisp of white lace. The breasts of the soon-to-be Mrs Jeff Bezos were the ceremony’s breakout stars. The only talking point that came close was Mark Zuckerberg’s inability to keep his eyes off them.

Call it a curtain raiser for a year in which breasts have been – how to put this? – in your face. Sydney Sweeney’s pair have upstaged her acting career to the point that she wears a sweatshirt that says “Sorry for Having Great Tits and Correct Opinions”. Bullet bras are making a sudden comeback, in sugar-pink silk on Dua Lipa on the cover of British Vogue and nosing keen as shark fins under fine cashmere sweaters at the Miu Miu show at Paris fashion week. Perhaps most tellingly, Kim Kardashian, whose body is her business empire, has made a 180-degree pivot from monetising her famous backside to selling, in her Skims lingerie brand, push-up bras featuring a pert latex nipple – with or without a fake piercing – that make an unmissable point under your T-shirt. Not since Eva Herzigova was in her Wonderbra in 1994 – Hello Boys – have boobs been so, well, big.

It is oddly tricky to discuss boobs without sounding as if you are in a doctor’s surgery or a fraternity house. The word breasts is rather formal. Boobs is fond and familiar, which feels right, but sniggery, which doesn’t. Bosoms are what you see in period dramas. Knockers, jugs, melons, hooters, fun bags? Whatever we call them, they are full of contradictions. Men see them and think of sex; babies see them and think of food. They contain a liquid without which the human race could not until recently have survived, but they are also one of the most tumour-prone parts of the body. You can admire them in the Uffizi, the Louvre and the National Gallery, but they are banned on Instagram (Free the nipple!). They are nursing Madonnas, and they are Madonna in a conical bra. They are topless goddesses and top shelf; entirely natural yet extremely rude; and they are, right now, absolutely everywhere.

There is a whole lot going on here. In America, the impact of the Trump administration is going way beyond policy, reshaping culture at a granular level. The Maga ruling class has a thirst for busty women in tight clothes, which fuses something new – what Zuckerberg has called “masculine energy” – with nostalgia for 1950s America. (The “again” in Make America Great Again may not have a date stamp, but it comes with a white picket fence.) As a symbol of fertility, full breasts are catnip to a regime obsessed with breeding and keen to limit reproductive freedoms.

Boobs are in the eye of the storm of the current gender fluidity rollback, too. Nothing says boys will be boys and women should look like women more than Bezos’s Popeye biceps next to Sánchez’s lace-edged curves. They used to say that a picture was worth a thousand words; in today’s ultra-visual culture, that rate of exchange has steepened. The fact that a culture that was, until a few years ago, sensitively exploring gender as a complex issue has now regressed to the level of teenage boys watching American Pie for the first time says everything about how things have changed.

Since 1962, when Timmie Jean Lindsey, a mother of six from Texas, became the first woman in the world to have silicone implants, breasts have been a lightning rod for the battleground between what is real and what is fake. The debate that catapulted Pamela Anderson to fame in the 1990s has become one of the defining issues of our time. It turns out that breasts, and beauty, were just the start. Artificial intelligence has jumped the conversation on. From Mountainhead to Black Mirror, we are now talking not just about real boobs v fake ones but about real brains v fake ones. In the battle between old-school flesh and blood and the prospect of a new, possibly improved, version of the human race, breasts have been leading the culture for 63 years.

In a nutshell, the world is losing its mind over the girls. “The State of the Union is … boobs” was the New York Post’s succinct verdict on the charms of Sweeney, while Amy Hamm wrote in the National Post that they were “double-D harbingers of the death of woke”. On inauguration day, onlookers were divided between outrage at an inappropriate level of nudity and admiration for how Sánchez’s “Latina auntie” energy showed her, um, balls.

All of which makes it a weird time to have breasts. When writer Emma Forrest saw the author portrait taken for the jacket of her new novel, Father Figure, her first thought was, “Oh wow, my boobs look huge.” She is wearing a plain black T-shirt, “so that must be OK, right? It’s not like I’m wearing a corset. I feel I should be allowed to have people review my books without having an issue with my boobs. But who knows.”

Breasts have always had the power to undermine women. After a double mastectomy and reconstructive surgery, Sarah Thornton found herself with much bigger breasts than she had wanted – having asked for “lesbian yoga boobs”, she woke up with D cups – and wrote her book, Tits Up, to make peace with her “silicone impostors” by investigating their cultural history. Breasts, she writes, are “visible obstacles to equality, associated with nature and nurture rather than reason and power”. Since she was a teenager, Forrest has lived with “the assumption that having big breasts means being messy, being sexually wild, having no emotional volume control. I have had to learn to separate my own identity from what other people read on to my body.” It’s Messy: On Boys, Boobs and Badass Women is the title of Amanda de Cadenet’s memoir, in which she writes about developing into “the teenage girl whose body made grown women uncomfortable and men salivate”, recalling the destabilising experience of having a body that brought her overnight success – she was a presenter on The Word at 18 – while simultaneously somehow making her the butt of every joke.

If the length of our skirts speaks to the stock market – short hemlines in boom times, long when things are bad – breasts are political. Thirty years after the French Revolution, Eugène Delacroix painted Liberty Leading the People with a lifesize, bare-breasted Liberty hoisting the French flag, leading her people to freedom. A century and a half later, women burning their bras at the 1968 protest against the Miss America pageant became one of the defining images of the feminist movement – never mind the fact that it never happened. (Protesters threw copies of Playboy, and some bras, in a trash can, but starting a fire on a sidewalk was illegal.) Intriguingly, decades when big breasts are in fashion seem to coincide with times of regression for women. Think about it. The 1920s: flat-chested flapper dresses and emancipation. The 1950s: Jayne Mansfield and women being pushed away from the workplace and back into the home. The 1970s: lean torsos under T-shirts, and the women’s liberation movement.

Sarah Shotton started out as an assistant in Agent Provocateur’s raunchy flagship store in Soho, London, in 1999, when she was 24, and rose to become creative director of the lingerie brand in 2010. Her 15 years in charge have seen Agent Provocateur rocked by the changing tides of sexual politics. In 2017, the year #MeToo hit the headlines, the company went into administration, before finding a new distributor. Shotton says, “I have always loved sexy bras, and it’s what we are known for. But there was a time when it felt like that wasn’t OK. Soon after #MeToo, we had a campaign lined up to shoot and the phone started ringing with all the agents of the women who were supposed to be in it, pulling their clients out, saying they didn’t want to be seen in that way.”

But the brand’s revenues have doubled in the past three years. “Last year we shot a film with Abbey Clancy and Peter Crouch, where she’s in really sexy lingerie and he’s playing pool. I remember saying, ‘This is either going to go down like a ton of bricks or people are going to love it.’” It seems as if they loved it: the company’s sales are expected to hit £50m this year. “I think a younger generation now want what we had in the 1990s and 2000s,” Shotton says, “because it looks like we had more fun. My generation of women had childhood on our BMX bikes, then when we were in our 20s, your job finished when you left the office and you could go out drinking all night if you wanted to. I think we really did have more fun. Life just didn’t feel as complicated as it does now.” The bestselling bras, she says, are currently “anything plunging and push-up. Racy stuff. Our Nikita satin bra, which is like a shelf for your boobs and only just covers your nipples.”

The legacy of the 1990s, when feminism and raunch became bedfellows, has left the world confused about breasts. Before that, the lines were pretty simple – the flappers throwing off their corsets, the feminists protesting over Page 3. But Liz Goldwyn, film-maker and sociologist (and granddaughter of Samuel Goldwyn Jr), whose first job was in a Planned Parenthood clinic and who collects vintage lingerie, doesn’t fit neatly into any of the old categories. “Third-wave feminists like myself grew up in the riot grrrl and burlesque days, where we embraced corsets and kink along with liberation and protest,” she says. Goldwyn collects, loves and wears vintage lingerie, while abhorring Spanx. “I would rather go to the dentist than wear shapewear, but I find nothing more satisfying than to colour-coordinate my lingerie drawers.” Wearing a corset, she says, “makes me breathe with more presence”.

Breasts have always been about money and class as well as sex and gender. The Tudor gentlewomen who wore dresses cut to expose their small, pert breasts were proudly indicating they had the means to afford a wet nurse. Sánchez’s inauguration outfit – tiny white Alexander McQueen trouser suit, lots of gravity-defying cleavage – “taps into the fact that people who are that wealthy can have the impossible,” Forrest says. “It is pretty difficult to have a super-slim body and big breasts. Her body is a physical manifestation of something much bigger, which is the hyper-wealthy living in a different reality to the rest of us. The planet might be doomed, but they can go to space. It’s a ‘fuck you’ marker of luxury and arrogance.” The vibe, Goldwyn agrees, “is very dystopian 1980s Dynasty meets ‘let them eat cake’. I would never disparage another woman’s body, but I have no problem disparaging her principles … in claiming to stand for women’s empowerment, yet attending an inauguration for an administration that has rolled back reproductive freedoms.”

Surgery – the blunt fact of boobs being a thing you can buy – has crystallised the idea of breasts as femininity’s biggest commercial hit. (They are at times referred to, after all, as prize assets.) The primitive – survival of the fittest, in the thirsty sense of the word – is now turbocharged by capitalism.Breast enlargement is the most popular cosmetic surgery in the UK, with 5,202 procedures carried out in 2024, according to the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons.

When Jacqueline Sanchez Taylor interviewed women in 2010 about their experiences of breast augmentation for her research into the sociology of cosmetic surgery, “a lot of young women told me they were doing it for status”. Not to show off, but to show “they had made it. They felt they were being good citizens: going out there and making money, but also wanting to play the part of being feminine.” Breasts, Sanchez Taylor says, “say everything about who a woman is: about femininity and fertility, class and age.” They are at the centre of the industrial complex that has grown up around female beauty. “I remember sitting in a consultation with a woman and her surgeon, and him saying cheerfully, ‘Oh yes, you’ve got fried egg breasts. But we can fix that.’”

Fake is no longer scandalous or transgressive. The vocabulary of plastic surgery has been gentled and mainstreamed to become the more palatable cosmetic surgery. The older women of the Kardashian family have been coy about having had work, but 27-year-old Kylie Jenner recently shared on social media the details of her breast surgery – down to the implant size, placement and name of surgeon. Unreal is here to stay, and the new battle line is between perfection and imperfection. The generation growing up now, who have never seen a celebrity portrait that wasn’t retouched, have never used a camera that doesn’t have filters, take 20 selfies and delete 19 of them, have an intolerance of imperfection. To put it bluntly: normal looks weird to them.

So it seems natural – even if it isn’t really natural – that celebrity boobs are getting bigger even as celebrity bodies are getting smaller. “We are in a really weird place with the body, particularly in America,” says Emma McClendon, assistant professor of fashion studies at St John’s University in New York, who in 2017 curated the New York exhibition The Body: Fashion and Physique. “What we are seeing now is definitely not about the bigger body. It is a very controlled mode of curviness, which emphasises a tiny waist.” (Very 1950s coded, again.) “GLP-1 weight-loss drugs are having a cultural impact on all of us, whether or not you or people you know are on them,” McClendon says. “The incredible shrinking of the celebrity body that is happening in America is creating this idea that your body is endlessly fixable and tweakable.” Hairlines can be regrown, fat melted, wrinkles erased.

For most of the past half-century, fashion has held out against boobs. With a few notable exceptions – Vivienne Westwood, rest her soul, adored a corset-hoisted embonpoint – modern designers have mostly ignored them. Karl Lagerfeld insisted his models should glissade, ballerina style, and disliked any curves that veered from his clean, elongated lines. And yet in the past 12 months, the bullet bra has come back. A star turn on the Miu Miu catwalk was presaged last year by a cameo in the video for Charli xcx’s 360, worn by photographer and model Richie Shazam, and by influencer and singer Addison Rae, whose lilac velvet corset creamed into two striking Mr Whippy peaks at a Young Hollywood party last summer. To seal the revival, none other than the queen of fashion – Kate Moss – wore a bullet bra under her Donna Karan dress in a viral fashion shoot with Ray Winstone for a recent issue of Perfect magazine.

Perhaps the bullet bra, which can be seen as weaponising the breast, is perfect for now. “Fashion is the body, and clothes turn the body into a language,” McClendon says. The bullet bra is steeped in a time when “domestic femininity was repackaged as glamour”, Forrest says. “A postwar era, coming back from scarcity and lack and hunger, when Sophia Loren was sold as a kind of delicious luxury truffle.”

Goldwyn is a fan. “A perfectly seamed bullet bra lifts my spirits (and my breasts) if I am in a foul mood,” she says. “I hope we can reclaim it as symbolic of resistance, defiance and armour.” In the backstage scrum with reporters after she had made bullet bras the centrepiece of her Miu Miu catwalk show, Miuccia Prada said the collection was about “femininity”, then she corrected herself: “No – femininities.” Prada has been using her clothes to articulate the complexities of living and performing femininity for decades, and this season it led her to the bullet bra. “What do we need, in this difficult moment for women – to lift us up?” she laughed, gesturing upwards with her hands, surrounded by pointy-chested models. “It’s like a new fashion. I think the girls are excited.”

Half a millennium after Leonardo da Vinci painted the Madonna Litta, his 1490 painting of the Virgin Mary baring her right breast to feed Christ, which now hangs in the State Hermitage Museum in St Petersburg, Russia, another Madonna found her breasts in the spotlight. In the late 1980s, Jean Paul Gaultier was experimenting with conical bras in his Paris shows. “He took inspiration from his grandmother’s structured undergarments,” says fashion historian Amber Butchart, “and used them to herald self-liberation. I don’t generally like the word empowering – it doesn’t tend to mean much – but that was very much the idea.” In 1989, while Madonna was preparing for her 1990 Blond Ambition world tour, she phoned Gaultier and asked him to design the wardrobe. On the opening night, in Japan, Madonna tore off her black blazer to reveal that iconic baby-pink satin corset with conical cups. “Do you believe in love? Well, I’ve got something to say about it,” she declared, before launching into Express Yourself. The silhouette, which could be seen all the way from the cheap seats, would end up scandalising the pope and costing the world’s biggest female pop star a lucrative Pepsi deal. Boobs have always been good at capturing our attention, and they have it right now. Hello again, boys.

Hot take: Sisyphys got a sweet deal

We must imagine Sisyphus happy, according to existentialist philosopher Albert Camus. It’s one of his hottest and most widely known takes. The idea that when confronted with the meaninglessness of his existence, condemned for all eternity to push a boulder up a mountain only for it to roll back down, dear old Sisyphus may find contentment. What other choice does he have after all?

(Showing my age here with the rage face meme and will not apologise #MillenialPride)

The assertion is that we mortals are faced with a similar conundrum. Life is unpredictable, chaotic, and frequently terrifying. With nothing but the infinite void to look forward to, how are we to spend our days? Either we embrace religion and pray for eternal salvation, skip the queue to the void by killing ourselves because it doesn’t make any difference in the end, or laugh at the absurdity of it all and find joy in the simple act of being here. It is up to us to create our own meaning.

On my good days this notion provides me a lot of comfort, and links in nicely with the zen buddhist idea that this moment is the only thing we truly have. So the take home is to embrace it, and live fully for the moment. It’s all very Dead Poets Society or, if you’re like me and have never seen that film, the B plot in Season 1, Episode 3 of Community. In the immortal words of Professor Whitman, “Seize the day Jeff, for real. Go running naked in a hailstorm, kiss a girl in the middle of the day, fly a kite but do it for yourself! Or you wot just fail my class, you’ll fail life.”

On my bad days however, I’m just salty about it. Suddenly the pressure to create my own meaning in the limited time I have becomes crippling to the point of paralysis. Every moment not spent living my best life is a moment wasted. I move steadily towards the grave, the years ahead steadily becoming fewer than those behind. What have I achieved with these dwindling hours, these precious days in which I am burdened to create my own meaning? I’ll tell you what I’ve done; play RuneScape and be depressed.

The problem with transferring this thinking from Sisyphus to a human living under late stage capitalism in the 21st century, is that Sisyphys didn’t have to go to a fucking job everyday. All he had to do was push a boulder! All day! Piece of piss mate.

What I wouldn’t give to just push a boulder all day. No laundry, no dishes, no reletenlessly targeted advertising and no more fucking work emails or meetings. I bet Sisyphys never once had a melon-related panic attack in the fruit aisle of Aldi. On top of that, pushing a massive boulder to the top of a mountain is an incredible workout. Right now I have to drive nearly 30 minutes to go and sweat in a leisure centre while strangers grunt in my periphery. Give me the boulder any day. I want that head empty, no thoughts, brain scampled egg life baby. Release me from the curse of my own self-awareness.

Okay, I get it that Albert Camu grew up in poverty, survived tuberculosis, and lived through the Second World War. I readily admit that my “melon crisis” doesn’t stack up in comparison. All I’m saying is, it’s pretty easy to imagine someone happy when they are free from the mountains of bullshit that besiege us every single day. I am completely overwhelmed by the mere act of existing under capitalism. The sheer number of decisions I have to make every single day just to get from one end to the next breaks my autistic brain. I can’t handle it, didn’t ask for it, and I certainly don’t want it. But surely we could do literally anything else?

I know it’s sort of laughable to say, “Let’s all go back to a simple, agrarian existence where we live off the land and chill by a waterfall smoking phat blunts.” Like, obviously that sounds a thousand times better than what we’re doing now, but short of a catastrophic societal collapse and then thousands of years of recovery, that’s not going to happen. Did you know it (sort of) takes six months and over $1,500 dollars to make a single chicken sandwich from scratch? Sustaining a single human life requires an incredible amount of work.

There are so many of us, and we’re so connected and interdependent on each other as a species. No organism on the planet comes close to what we have built for ourselves and it is an amazing feat by every conceivable metric. But what is it all for? Have we ever once as a civilisation stopped and asked ourselves why we’re doing any of this?

For whatever reason, we are apparently limited in our conception of all that remains possible. A civilisation disjointed and misaligned, adrift on this rock hurtling through space at mind boggling speeds, confronted with the meaninglessness of it all and refusing to collectively acknowledge it for even a moment.

It’s like we’re still locked in that primordial stage of evolution, where we must accrue resources to survive the harsh winter and outlive our rivals. When we predominantly existed as smaller bands or tribes, that made a lot of sense. But now we are a single connected superorganism, our sense of competition is squarely in opposition to our sense of collaboration.

We broadly recognise the need to collaborate in tackling existential threats like climate change, yet our primal competitiveness sees us knee jerking our way back towards fascism. It’s like we’ve gone to the doctor about a backache and they prescribed a dozen hungry tigers to be administered immediately. We’re still acting as though there is not enough to go around, when there is in fact plenty; it has just been misallocated. I am left always wondering why? What do we have to gain from eating ourselves alive?

I cannot help but think it comes from a petulant refusal to collectively acknowledge the void. We struggle desperately for meaning, to leave a legacy, but forget that it is impossible. Even those who live on in infamy after their death will one day perish from the collective consciousness. Our sun will die, all heat will fade from the universe until it is nothing but a barren, lifeless waste. No tower you build or lineage you foster will outlast that. Yet we sit watching helplessly as oligarchs and plutocrats rail against their own mortality to catastrophic and destructive consequences for the rest of us. I suppose in the long run, that doesn’t really matter though does it?

We have made a home for ourselves in the belly of a vast, insatiable beast. A beast so hungry for our blood and labour that it stifles anything that cannot be effectively comodified. How are we to find happiness and peace under such conditions? It is simply not a priority.

To quote folk punk band AJJ:

This is no exaggeration, we're living in a death machine

And no, it's not just your imagination

You've been living in a death machine

Some of us are passengers, and some of us are driving

Almost everybody's getting bled to death to keep the motor running

Sisyhus at least is free from its roiling guts, and in that freedom it is not difficult to imagine him happy. For the rest of us, it takes a little more effort and a lot more work.

Worg OC randoms

-Cori's favorite book of all time is The Outsiders by S. E Hinton

-Silver is horrible at remembering people's names. Like actually it takes her two weeks minimum to remember one name usually. She still does not have most of the EVA memorized. And once she does have a name memorized, it will then take her another two weeks to remember how to spell it correctly (she has probably misspelled Cori's name in every possible way before though I'd imagine Cori doesn't particularly care becuase that probably happens a lot)

-Marleen is terrified to death of bears because bears are willing to eat wolves on occasion irl

-Silver has a secret wattpad account called cheeseflavoredmilkshake which she sneaks on via Twobrains' computer whenever he's in jail. She is milking the website dry of all the Jeff the Killer x Reader and Curtis Rx x Reader* fanfiction it can possibly produce

(*Curtis Rx is a real human being, we do not endorse fanfiction about real people, this is a joke, Silver is an 11yo girl and will probably grow out of it in three years tops)

-Marleen has probably tried at least three times to commission some online artistic to draw her and Tobey getting married via stealing Andrew's credit card

-Kyle is accepted as an honorary villain because Cori brings him to villain holiday celebrations as an attempt to "give him a real holiday" and not whatever shitty makeshift holidays the Worst siblings usually have. He's kinda annoying but generally the other villains don't mind him

-Alynxai has a brother named Quailai who is still on Discord (siblings on Discord always have their names end in the same suffix, like a surname). Quailai is vaguely aware he had an older sister at one point who went missing, but Lynx doesn't know about him, becuase he was born after she ended up on Earth.

-RD's last message to his parents and also his aunts and uncles (Victoria's parents and Invisi-Bill's parents) was him flipping them all off and smiling before he blocked all of them before they could respond

-Silver has a furby named Marshmellow which she initially bought off Tobey at a yard sale. She originally intended to steal it but the EVA Code says you can't steal from other villains. Twobrains lowkey hates Marshmellow but Silver practically treats them like a human baby, so they're stuck with the hellspawn

-RD is plural. Yeah I've made jokes about it but that's just straight up canon now. He is pluralpunk, anti-sysmed, pro endo, pro willo, and his origin is not anybody's business

-Alynxai's favorite food is garlic bread

-All of the Worsts can talk to animals like Cori can, that is not exclusive to her. I don't belive I've ever mentioned it before, but she also understands Captain Huggyface, meaning she can also understand non-earth animals, which would allow for some.... interesting possiblities

-I can see both Cori and Marleen getting into Beastars (both the manga and the show) as teenagers/young adults. Marleen's favorite character would probably be Melon honestly

Hey everyone! I’m Phantom or Void; either one works. I’m 23, so I only roleplay with other adults. I’m fine with any pronouns, but mostly use she/they. I’m in the EST but tend to stay up late. I’m Black mixed and queer, and most of my ocs are as well.

I do both fandom and original roleplays. I like to do oc x cc and oc x oc pairings and prefer to double when it comes to oc x cc. I’m also cool with poly/multi-ships and crossovers.

I guess I'm a semi-lit to lit writer; I don't really have a set number of words I write. I guess I can also do advanced lit. I usually try to match the amount of whoever I'm rping with, but I guess, on average, I can write 2-6 paragraphs. I have reached the Discord Nitro limit more than a few times. Novella is currently a bit much for me, though. I don't really mind how much you write; just give me something to work with. I'm fine with doing NSFW rps, just don't make the whole thing smut. Kinks and limits can be discussed during plotting.

Depending on how I feel, I can send multiple replies in a day, but that heavily depends on how I feel. I do have a life outside of rp. I have class and a job. I will try to let you know if I can't reply or if I might be gone for a while.

My fandoms and love interests are below the cut.

My discord is phantomwolf627. Just let me know you're from here and saw this when reaching out.

My Hero Academia - I'm about to start season 7. I do know the spoilers and how the series ends. I still need to watch the movies.

Love Interests - Katsuki Bakugou, Touya Todoroki/Dabi, Tomura Shigaraki, Shoto Todoroki, Keigo/Hawks, Shota Aizawa, Rumi Usagiyama/Mirko

Bungou Stray Dogs - I'm caught up on the anime.

Love Interests - Dazai, Chuuya

Dungeon Meshi - I finished the anime and manga.

Love Interests - Laios, Toshiro, Mithrun, Lycion, Kabru, Marcille

Fullmetal Alchemist - I've watched both series.

Love Interests - Envy, Roy Mustang, Greed

One Punch Man - I'm caught up on the anime, currently watching through the extras and reading the manga.

Love Interests - Genos, Speed - O - Sound Sonic, Garou

Demon Slayer - I'm currently on the swordsmithing village arc.

Love Interests - Kyojuro Rengoku, Giyuu Tomioka, Tengen Uzui, Obani Iguro

Jujutsu Kaisen - I'm caught up with the anime and almost done with the manga.

Love Interests - Gojo, Toji, Choso, Geto, Sukuna, Nanami

Beastars - I'm caught up on the anime and reading the manga along with Beast Complex.

Love interests - Melon, Agata, Legoshi, Louis, Ibuki, Free, Haru, Seven

Creepypasta - I'm familiar with most of the creepypastas

Love Interests - Jeff the killer, Homicidal Lui, Eyeless Jack, Ticci Toby, Jane the killer

Pokemon - I've played from black and white to Legends Arceus. I'm still playing through Violet. I've also played all the mystery dungeon games.

Love Interests - There are too many to list so just ask. I'm fine with doing oc x oc pairings for this.

Venture Bros - I finished the series and movie.

Love Interests - Pete White, Dean Venture, Hank Venture, Henchman 21/Gary, The Monarch and Councilwoman, Dr. Mrs. The Monarch (I can only see these two as a package deal)

Hello!! I just saw JD cover for Black Tie in LOL fanfest 2024 and I'm just mind-blown. The aerial flips!!! Upside down spider man kiss type moment with Joong in the air. Both of them switching for aerial flips!! The outfits!! The neck snapping symbolism!! Dunk's deep voice complementing perfectly with Joong's high notes. I want their studio cover of Black tie for listening on repeat. Do they get enough time for preparing like that?? I just want to ask if the entire LOL fanfest performances are like that?? Can you suggest me some good performances like that if you've been following the LOL fanfest or any other concerts?

sorry that it took me forever to reply!! i had (actually still have rip) uni stuff and other time consuming personal projects going on and then joongdunk kept flirting on main (save. me. please.)

now, moving on to your questions:

do they get enough time for preparing like that?

joong actually very helpfully answered this question in a tiktok live back in march:

"LOL ปกติก็ซ้อมใกล้ๆ อยู่แล้วก่อนงาน ประมาณ 20 ถึง 30 วันประมาณ แต่ก็เคยนะ มีแบบ 15 วันก็มี"

this roughly translates to:

"usually LOL rehearsals are close to the event, about 20 to 30 days beforehand. but there's also been like 15 days"

which means as of me writing this, they should already be rehearsing (or are starting to rehearse). to me, 15 days seems quite stressful, but 20-30 days seems totally manageable, especially since everyone is on stage at different times. multiple groups could rehearse their parts on the same day parallel to the others (god how i wish i could be the fly on the wall!! i'm SO interested in all of the behind the scenes mechanics that come with putting on this show)

I just want to ask if the entire LOL fanfest performances are like that?? Can you suggest me some good performances like that if you've been following the LOL fanfest or any other concerts?

see, this is another reason why i took a month to reply. i was really struggling with the phrasing of "like that". it's quite broad. what exactly do you mean by "like that"? there are so many aspects you could focus on in that comparison (the singing, the dancing, the genres of the songs, the costumes, the moods, etc)...

now if you're asking me, if the entire LOL show is like black tie? the answer would be no. and that's because the entire show is pretty colorful when it comes to performances and the set list. it can go from something more rough like ยุติธรรม to something like saa-tuu (i really don’t know how to describe the vibes for this one) to something sexy like hit me up to something fun sexy like melon to something cute like มะงึกๆอุ๋งๆ to slower ballads like first love. (i wanted to embed all the vids straight in the post, but unfortunately tumblr won't let me add more than 10 :( what a sad world we live in)

as you can see, the vibes are all over the place in a full LOL show. now if you're asking me if there's been any other performance that has the exact same vibes as the black tie performance? the answer would be, well yes, but also no.

it's yes because...

youtube

(can't link to source of the one below bc unfortunately it was deleted from youtube)

(if you haven't seen this already, i really encourage you to watch both of these performances btw bc there's some nice switcheroo going on between D1 and D2 hehe)

and the answer is also no, because i think a big part of the vibes also simply just comes down to both black tie and dum dum being jeff satur songs. jeff satur's vibes are immaculate. you won't find a performance with the exact same vibes because no other artist that i've seen covered in LOL has the exact same vibes as jeff has. so if you're looking for a performance with the exact same vibe as black tie, well, there is, but it's the only other jeff satur song

now, if you meant "like that" in the sense of other performances that share the story telling aspect (but not necessarily the vibes)? there are a few, and again, the vibes are all over the place hahaha:

youtube

the entire opening with the ost section of LOL 2024 was one little story after the other. i meant to embed this video in the post, but unfortunately tumblr won't show it rip. (ost section starts at 4:56. sorry, the angle isn't great, but you can just look up fancams of the individual performances that you're personally interested in. joongdunk did your smile from hidden agenda)

as for story telling examples that come from other concerts that aren't LOL, there's also these two from the MSP prom night concert:

youtube

if you're asking for more performances where people are flying in the air, well, in the very same concert earthmix were spinning circles in the air during เรา and phuwin came down from the sky in truth in the eyes. geminifourth also floated during their cover of simm ost star & sky in the my turn concert and in starlympics jasp.er had their entrance from above for sadistic. however, none of these people are doing full on saltos in the air like joong and dunk did in black tie

i don't really follow the concerts religiously (i mostly check out the performances that involve joong and/or dunk, with some other artists' performances here and there), but if you wanna do some research on your own, here are some places you can start:

LOL fan fest 2022 (playlist)

LOL fan fest 2023 (day1 | day2)

LOL fan fest 2024 (day1 | day2)

MSP Prom Night Live On Stage (day1+2)

GF my turn concert (day1+2)

GF run the world concert (day1 | day2)

beluca concert (playlist)

gmmtv musicon cambodia (joong parts | other playlist) (<- this other playlist is mostly cambodia, but also includes some other ones)

fan feel fun camping concert (playlist)

fanday in bkk (JD | EM | PP | FK | FB)

i by far haven't watched my way through all of these, but these are just some concerts i know of and/or have seen one or the other performance of. if you're looking for concerts involving joong and dunk specifically, then from the list above that would be LOL 2023 + 2024 (joongdunk), fan feel fun (joongdunk), fanday in bkk joongdunk day, musicon cambodia (joong). dunk was also part of the gmmtv musicon nanning, but you're probably gonna have to check twitter for that, bc there isn't really anything on youtube. and of course joong is part of jasp.er now, they've also done a bunch of performances already (like their songkran concert)

my personal faves (joongdunk version)

as for my own personal favorite jongdunk performances, obviously dum dum and black tie are on the list. i also highly recommend "look khun noo" (D2 specifically), because i mean hellooo????

youtube

the legs????

(source)

joong rubbing his head against dunk????

(source)

the kiss on his temple????

(terribly sorry, but i full on had to steal @nanihirunkits gifs from this post here bc tumblr wouldn't put them side by side via the gif search. hope it works now 🙏🏻) (edit: it's fine on mobile now, but not on desktop eurgh. tumblr is a website)

anyway, i also quite liked their performance of hurt me please for the thk final episode party:

youtube

and long term followers of this blog will also know that i'm obsessed with these two performances from fan feel fun, i keep coming back to them specifically:

youtube

(other fancam)

there are some joong solo performances that i also greatly enjoy, such as joong's cover of นิทานพันดาว (the atots theme song) or that chinese song he posted on twitter a while ago for lunar new year or his performance of beast inside. special shoutout also to joong's cover of last twilight, first of all because joong was absolutely obsessed with this song in 2024 (to the point where he had dunk film a gay little mv for it with him after a fanmeet abroad, which they then both posted to twitter) and i'd been waiting for months for him to finally officially perform it, and second of all for the lyric change from "dang nai hua-jai" to "dunk natachai" (the "dang" from the line and dunk's name are the same word lmao) which you can find at 1:43 in the above linked video

i don't know if my personal faves fall under your category of "good performances like [black tie]" (since the vibes vary greatly), but these are just a collection of performances i enjoy for a variety of different reasons

okay. wow. i didn't realize i had this much to say dgkjdsgkjsdfhgkhdg i'll stop it here for now, also in part bc i really gotta use my afternoon studying for an exam i have on tuesday which i really can't fail or else i'll have a scheduling problem. bye for now. hope this helped 👋🏻

#did i write this to procrastinate working through the required reading of my exam? maybe so 😇😇😇#and sorry again it took me a month to respond... i'm just glad i've managed to put it out BEFORE this year's lol kjfdjksfjgk #airenyah plappert #asks #anon #lol fan fest 2024 #lol fan fest 2023 #adrm #i really really DO hope jd's teasing on social media means we really WILL be seeing them as a disney prince and as a mermaid this year 🙏🏻#altho i wouldn't say no to another jeff satur cover ngl #there MAY be spelling or grammar mistakes in this btw i didn't proof read

🌈-, ❄-, ☁️- , 🍃- -From Yunessa!

Thank you @yunessa! These were fun. A chance to ponder just how messy Siavash is.

For this OC ask game

🌈 What does this OC like and dislike about themselves?

Paradoxically what he likes and dislikes are the same thing. Another example of his contradictions (see below under clothing). He values his wanderlust and impulsivity and yet can’t bear that they hurt the people he loves.

After the rough breakup with his ex, the crusade, and finding Woljif he grows up enough to make a conscious decision to be less fickle, at least about certain things. He’s profoundly grateful for Woljif’s trust and has made up his mind never to break it. This requires constant vigilance and effort on his part. Not that he's tempted to cheat - just that he has to remind himself to remain within Woljif's gravity no matter how far afield he wanders. He'll always make his way home -and that anchor becomes much more vital to his mental health after his (secret ending). It makes it easier that he can trust Woljif to keep pace, which his ex, a fragile introvert, wasn't able to do.

❄ What is this OC’s favorite and least favorite food?

If I could cheat and make this about drink: Andoren wine and Mendevian beer, respectively.

As for food, his favorites are fresh seasonal produce like spring strawberries, late summer Andoren melon, fall chestnuts and winter oranges.

Least favorites are the preserved staples of less balmy climates than Andoran: porridge, hard tack biscuits, pickles, salt pork.

☁️ What is this OC’s clothing style like?

(I need to find new ways to describe this disaster.)

Another contradiction. An example of how Siavash both idolizes his father and needs to distance himself from him. As an artsy professional musician his father, Doran, has a natural bohemian style (he wears Jeff Ament hats) but Sia needs to take it to a new level with clashing colors and patterns and over-accessorizing – but no hats, ever. He looks like a bouquet of wildflowers.

🍃 Describe this OC in one word

I can’t choose. Here’s what made the short list:

Lark

Sunshine

Chief (derogatory)

#thanks for the ask!!#yunessa #siavash

🍎🍑🍈🍏

Thank you so much, @responderschief 💙

🍎 [RED APPLE] Who does your OC value above all else?

Emily 💚

And not just because she saved his life, although that is a pretty important detail all things considered.

She was around Jeff from the beginning, becoming one part of the original trio that bravely explored the unfamiliar version of his home. Not only did she heal his physical wounds, but she also helped to heal the hurt that Jeff carried in his heart, too.

@jonnyonearth and I talked about their relationship recently. In his words, Jeff is her Jeff in conversation. She adores him on a level that Jeff may not even be aware of.

When Emily decided to move her clinic from down the road where the Wayward now stands to the Crater, it did cause a bit of a rift in their circle. Emily is a Raider now. Jeff was hurt by this initially and while it took some time to trust her choice, he did in part because…that's his Emily. 💚

…And let's not forget the wedding bands that they both carry.

🍑 [PEACH] How do they show their kindness? How kind are they truly?

Jeff is extremely kind 💙

I've mentioned in a previous ask how he shows his love/appreciation through acts of kindness/service. He's almost always willing to help regardless of how he's being treated.

I feel like this tends to frustrate those close to him, who have told Jeff numerous times that he needs to stand up for himself more. It's not uncommon for him to be taken advantage of.

Of course, even Jeff has a breaking point. While he is quick to lend a helping hand to anyone, he won't stand for bullying/mistreatment of anyone, let alone his loved ones.

I've had a scenario in my head where Jeff is a bit out of character, but only because someone dear to him is in serious trouble. A routine trip through Big Bend Tunnel becomes even more dangerous and Jeff is left with blood on his hands.

(I'm not sure if I will ever share that here as a story, but I'm okay with talking about it 💜)

🍈 [MELON] If they had to be put into a box, what box would it be and why?

This one.

Seriously, though–

📦 Caravan Guard: After initially taking on part-time work with the Blue Ridge Caravan Company years ago, Jeff decided to uproot his life in the Forest and take a one-way trip down to the Bog where he still resides today. I don't want to say that being a caravan guard is his entire identity, but he has a lot of pride in what he and his friends/co-workers do.

📦 Cryptid Whisperer (not hunter): Jeff grew up hearing the stories of these friend-shaped beings, and it means everything to him that they believe in him too. Having someone in his life like Aries definitely inspires Jeff to continue his search. Just imagine the stories they share with each other 💙

🍏 [GREEN APPLE] How do they differ from the norm and how are they punished for it?

When Ralph arrived at Stone Observatory two years ago, Jeff's entire world changed.

The seemingly kind stranger admired the camp that Jeff and his companion at time, Sophia, had put together. The group chatted together over coffee and Ralph shared his story. Jeff understood what it was like to be someone who traveled a long way from home, without any home to return to.

So, Jeff offered the shed on his property as a place to stay, which was a storage space/workshop at the time. Ralph gratefully accepted. What Jeff didn't realize is that Ralph was very far from home; also, what did that strange door lead to and where did it come from?

The whole underground lab and the shape-shifting neighbor, Ralph, is something that I would still consider being a bit outside of the norm, even with how strange the Fallout universe can be at times.

Jeff is often punished for this through the various experiments conducted on him (not all are consenting), the trials/challenges that he faces when Ralph sends him to another time/universe, and how he isn't allowed to say a word about any of this.

Of course, some details have slipped out here and there, but I imagine that all of the above is hard to believe for most of his new friends and allies.

Krieg knows about all of this far more than most, but I'll let Jon tell that story whenever he's ready ❤️

Other than Krieg, Emily and Aries are waiting for Jeff to finally open up about everything. Aries especially has seen some things and I have a feeling he's a bit suspicious/paranoid about Ralph.

And I have yet to really think about this, but Jeff is about to meet his new friend MacCready in the Commonwealth who also happens to be Mayor MacCready in the Capital Wasteland...💫
