if you hate tato, why your icon tato?

I'll commit the cardinal sin of not being funny on a gimmick account.

Basically you take an image of any person/character and invert its colours to create an "evil version" of them with the text 'Evil X Be Like', followed by something the opposite of something that character has said or done. You can refer to this knowyourmeme.com article if you want to read more about it. I've included some examples below.

Adele's most popular song is 'Hello'.

Ben Shapiro has famously tweeted about his wife's dry vagina.

Elon Musk's is pretty straight forward.

This blog is kinda the same. But instead of saying the opposite of what any potato blogs are saying (I just saw this new blog called @otatop-llams which is doing that for @small-potato) I wanted my blog to be about hating all potatoes. (There is also a blog called @potato-murderer which kinda has the same premise, but I didn't know it existed before I created this account.)

This blog is also (sort of) parodying how conservatives and right wing media vilify a group by creating a caricature of them. But mostly it's for making jokes.

Sophie Ellis-Bextor Brings North American Tour to Sold-Out Webster Hall

Sophie – Webster Hall – June 6, 2024

Some songs transport you back to a memory or time in your life. For me, Sophie Ellis-Bextor’s “Groovejet (If This Ain’t Love)” brings me back to studying abroad in Copenhagen, Denmark, and inhaling all the culture outside of my very American upbringing. At the turn of the decade, American pop from the ’90s to the aughts leaned into dance music largely due to the influence of Scandinavian-dance-pop producers Max Martin and Denniz Pop.

Serving as the soundtrack for my time overseas, these nightclub grooves were largely anchored by DJs and pop songstresses such as Ellis-Bextor. I admittedly missed her 2001 global hit, “Murder on the Dancefloor,” but like many, I couldn’t overlook its resurgence thanks to an iconic finale dance sequence from last year’s buzzy film Saltburn. The singer, who has been murdering the dance floor since 2001, brought her infectious bops to a sold-out Webster Hall on Thursday night.

Opening with a take on Alcazar’s “Crying at the Discoteque,” the first lady of Brit-pop pranced onstage in a magenta sparkle, feathered fringe shift dress. The show was a mix of her catalog and features, as well as well-loved covers. To create a sense of spontaneity, the mother of five boys shared that her nights of song during the Covid shutdown were similarly mixed, and to encapsulate that mood, she brought out a wheel of songs to be sung. With a spin, “Reflections,” off her last record, Hana, was chosen and performed. Engaging in a bonding experience of group choreography, hand and arm gestures formed across the floor for “Hypnotized.” After generous leg kicks and traversing the stage left to right, guitarist Pablo Tato joined the singer seated for an acoustic version of “Young Blood.” A quick change into a yellow dress with orange tassels ushered another wheel spin, which had Ellis-Bextor vetoing the choice and opting for ABBA’s ”Dancing Queen.” 

My aforementioned throwback song, “Groovejet (If This Ain’t Love),” was intermixed with “Lady (Hear Me Tonight)” “Can't Fight This Feeling” and “Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight).” Everyone in the room hushed — and became her disciples — as they were taken to church with a cover of Madonna’s “Like a Prayer.” Truly grateful at the end of the set, Ellis-Bextor was prepared for a crowd of people who were in attendance just to hear that song from a film, but the pop star was pleasantly surprised that folks actually��came for the song that ignited the mirror ball over the dance floor and much more from her two decades of music. Not willing to say goodnight, she had to perform the site-specific “New York City Lights” and the Armin van Buuren collab track, “Bittersweet.” Quickly moving to the balcony, guitarist Tato and the vocalist performed an acoustic version of the Theaudience’s “A Pessimist Is Never Disappointed,” dreamily capping off the evening. —Sharlene Chiu | @Shar0ck

Pop tart crisps

The Bottom Line (Brown Sugar Cinnamon): 9. The Bottom Line (Strawberry): 9 Occam’s Pop-Tart Razors out of 10 Pop-Tarts have a sugary filling sealed inside two layers of thin. The Breakdown: All the fun of the most famous Pop-Tarts flavor, just with less dough and more “yooooo!” Easily the best Pop-Tart hybrid since I did this. Pop-Tarts is a brand of toaster pastries that the Kellogg Company introduced in 1964. Or even less, if you slap some ice cream between ’em and call it a sandwich. Just don’t expect them to last more than 2-4 bites, depending on how public your lunch is. These suckers are amazing when frozen into Pop-Sicles (imagine Strawberry and Cinnamon WWE Ice Cream Bars after a close shave), but the pouches are convenient enough to enjoy everywhere.Īs much as I love Pop-Tarts, it’s hard to eat a pack of them as anything but a dessert without feeling like my stomach failed a freshman-year Philosophy 101 midterm, so Pop-Tarts Crisps bring all the flavor (sometimes even more) with a less guilt. It’s warm, cozy, and a solid pick for a yuletide boxed lunch.īecause ultimately, these are destined for the cafeteria-elementary school, corporate, or otherwise. The browned-buttery cinnamon filling turns the meagre, doughy shell into a molten, half-baked cinnamon bun. It’s the flavor more likely to overwhelm light snack seekers with its pulses of candied intensity, but true Pop-Heads will love the streamlined injection of the brand’s most iconic flavor.īrown Sugar Cinnamon, on the other hand, is more universally palatable. In Strawberry’s case, the once-pleasantly shortcakey taste is now a bursting jelly doughnut (done quadrilaterally). Save when you order Pop-Tarts Crisps Frosted Strawberrylicious - 12 ct and thousands of other foods from GIANT online. The skewed filling-to-crust ratio makes both flavors bitingly sweet, while the reliable icing presence only glazes the sweetness on thicker. This means that these Slim-Tarts don’t hit like Slim-Fast. The filling, meanwhile, has its potency almost entirely preserved through the downsizing process. Pop-Tarts Crisps are made with a light, crisp layer of Pop-Tarts pastry made with whole grains, filled with yummy Strawberry filling, then topped with the. The crust here is what’s been eroded the most: appropriately more crispy than the pillowy pastry shell of its superlative Pop-Tart form, Crisp crust makes its golden sugar-biscuit taste more of a supplement than the main event. Basically the inversion of Pop-Tarts Bites, which took the girth of its extinct ancestor Pop-Tarts Go-Tarts and the length of Pop-Tarts Mini Crisps, 2019’s Pop-Tarts Crisps have Go-length and Mini-thickness.

I really like hifuu doujin music, rd-sounds edition

following up on these two posts, I feel compelled to talk about a bunch of hifuu arranges (again specifying renmerry! sorry Sumireko!), specifically those arranged by RD-Sounds of circle 凋叶棕 (diao ye zong).

just gonna put this here in case I forget, you can stream 凋叶棕’s ‘main’ albums on spotify here!

Thing is though, they’ve arranged a Lot of hifuu-themed tracks, not just in dyz albums, but in all sorts of collab works with other circles too! I’m sure there’s lots of tracks, both hifuu and in general, that I’ve never heard of! And even among all the ones I have heard, I don’t really have the same amount of strong feelings for all of them. So for this post, I’ll only be going over the songs that really left a strong impact on me, and ones I would describe as being formulative for my hifuu experience! So there’s going to be a bunch I leave out, like say for example... true outsiders from 喩 (tatoe). It’s a song I like a lot, and its hifuu! But it doesn’t take up housing in my brain like the ones I really want to mention. But that’s fine! There’s still going to be plenty I gush about anyhow.

And like, might as well start with the original, classic, dyz hifuu album. 廻  (meguri/)... Just the album cover is making me nostalgic and emotional, because it instantly makes me hear the first track.

That first track is A Secret Adventure , and i know I say this a lot, but its definitely a classic! Firstly, remembering that this album is like, twelve years old is making me want to turn to dust 😩 , not that I first heard it literally that long ago, but oh my god to think dyz is still going strong to this day. As for the song itself, it has all those classic hifuu beats, being an energetic duet of vocaists singing about seeking out the mysteries of the world and anything is possible as long as the two of them are together! There’s probably a hundred of this exact kind of song out there about merry and renko, and I hope there will be another thousand more!!!

But I think such a ‘straightforward’ song is really there just to establish the premise of the album. As you go on and listen to a bunch more songs about various other touhous that fit the theme of the album. And near the end, you get to what I’m certain is an absolutely iconic piece for hifuu culture (that makes it sound like a cult...).

絶対的一方通行 (Absolute One-Way Street) . While I’m sure Merry=Yukari stories/theories/ideas had been floating around plenty beofre this album, my gut tells me that it is this song in particular that was the origin point of a lot of people really seeing the appeal and made to cry about a doomed renmerry for the rest of their life. It’s a great song with the lyrics about ‘someone’ accounting their terrible fate having fallen into the darkness and warning against ‘someone’ not to follow after...

I like it alright. 🙂 And the merry = yukari beat is something I think is neat, but not something I’m like, super invested in when I think about either characters. (Also I like the remake from a future album, 絶対的一方通行 ～ Unreachable Message more than the original!) Truthfully, I consider this more of a Yukari song than I do a hifuu or even a Merry song, and the real reason why I bring up this song is because it is necessary context for the experience of the album! You get to this song and its pretty dread and despair and tragedy all around, and that feeling carries over with you into the final song of the album, and definitely a song that makes me cry about renmerry forever.

ヒメゴトクラブ  (Himegoto Club) .....oh my goooood, this song. There’s no other touhou arrange I can think of that can be so purely described as a love song.

All the despair and uncertainy of the world around them, of the fears that everything won’t last, the mysteries surrounding them, the stars and the boundaries that they see with their strange eyes. This song is about how none of that matters right now. The only thing that matters and the only thing they think about is that they’re together, each other’s warmth. 😭 The associated booklet image has Merry and Renko in a dark room, sharing an intimate moment, tossing aside all other things in the universe (and their hats, same thing). It’s really really really really good and the perfect closing note for the album. it doesn’t get better (ie gayer) than this...

(actually just wanted to say that my favourite song from this album is カレイドスコープ (Kaleidoscope), but that’s a reimu song and this post is about hifuu!)

That’s it for Meguri, so going to just segue into a different dyz album, this one just because of one specific song in it.

hey did you know that 騙 (katari) on rd-sounds website has two pages for it? One true and one ‘fake’ which is filled with false song titles? I love gimmicks.. Anyhow, the theme of the album is deception and its got a lot of really cool tracks, but I was really surprised that one of the songs is explicitly a sequel to Himegoto Club, its booklet image borrowing from the one from meguri, and the song itself opening with the exact same notes!!

rebellion -たいせつなもののために-  I really love this one... Also i think it might be the only song I’m gonna mention on this post that doesn’t have Merami for vocals?! 3L is here singing this super cool and dramatic song about Renko in despair over having forgotten something, someone important, and forcing herself to remember before dedicating herself to finding that someone again... The whole song is super cool but its of course that final line that’s shouting after Merry’s name that never fails to destroy me 🤩🤯😭 It’s also easily my fav song of the whole album. Now to move on to something that’s arguably most special to me...

辿／誘 (Tadori/Izanai) This... is actually the first dyz album I ever listened to. I believe its with this album i first discovered the circle, or at least its definitely the earliest I remember where I really took note of the credits. With that said, I’ve actually revisited the music on this album very rarely compared to other dyz tracks, part of that is because most of the tracks in this album(s?) are don’t exactly make for easy listening the way a fun pop track would, one part is that listening to it alongside looking at the booklet images and the lyrics feels especially important for the experience, because i think no other dyz track goes as all in with rd-sounds ‘double-meaning’ tricks as the two main songs of this album. And another part is that... well, its special to me, and I guess I feel like like I can’t just pop it in for any old occasion...

The beautiful world is the reason this album is in this post though. The basic gist of this song is that its about Merry becoming Yukari, but its even more dramatic and heavy than Absolute One-Way Street. The lyrics go on about how becoming something else and leaving everything behind is terrifying and scary, but by the end, those things are happily(?) given up in order to embrace the new world they’re a part of... I said i’m not super invested in this story beat, but this song along makes me glad it exists... When this song puts you into an existential high, you gotta wind down with its associated instrumental track, 何もかもが、幻想 ...

(While I’m here, my actual fav song from this album is the other ‘main’ one, Calling. I’d dare say its in fact my favourite rd-sounds song ever,  but its not really related to hifuu so i’m just mentioning it here for fun n_n)

...So that’s actually mostly it for the dyz albums, and now i’m just gonna hard divert into a bunch of other things. rd-sounds has done collabs with many circles and to provide music for specific projects. This is where this post is going to sound even more aimless and rambly before, because um... most of the works i’m about to talk about are things I’ve not ever actually properly experienced obviously due to lack of either availability and/or any translation or even basic summaries/resources I could find. I really can only guess and estimate the context to all of these and their associated songs, haha.... n_n;;; u_u I do still want to talk about these next few ones because against all odds, they do all stick in my mind to this day and were very formative in a sense for me! Will I ever actually properly consume any of these one day? ...Probably not, but that’s the beauty of art, right? To be able to get something out of something even while barely understanding it?!! That’s what i’ll choose to believe..

First on the agenda is 現夢 -genmu- by TUMENECO! First of, its over a decade old 👵. Secondly, its an album that goes hand in hand with an illustrated novel written by 四面楚歌 (Surrounded By Enemies) ((oh fair warning, i like a bunch of their work, but warning if you’re even just heading to their website. some of the stuff and its covers thats just out there in the open is NSFW)).

I’ve actually read a translated version of that novel, so for once I actualy get the context of it! The songs are all based on events or themes from the novel, and are separated into two discs, one for vocal songs and the other for instrumentals. Of course the first song in the album is led by TUMENECO themselves and with a true yukina and Mie classic. But wouldn’t you know it, the very last song on both discs to close off the album as a whole go to RD-Sounds and Meramipop, woohoo!

うつつのゆめ (Dream of Reality) It’s basically the ending song of the album and the novel! And arranges of Innocent Treasures just feel inherently special to me. After everything else in the story and album is said and done, it all ends with a wistful, yet upbeat song about celebrating your dreams while they last. The story itself ended on a bittersweet note of having to ‘wake up’ from the dream that is Gensokyo, but then further ending with the hope that dreams never have to ‘truly’ end, and this song captures that really well... And i’m like a giant sucker for the very final lyric, which is the very last line of dialogue you see in the story as well n_n!!!

That’s the one among these I have the most context for, and now for the one I easily have the least.

喜劇機械、もしくはジェーン・ドゥ達によるパラード , or Comedy Mechanism: Parade of Jane Does, is a novel written by ゐた・せくすありす (Vita Sexualic). There are seveal novels written by them, many hifuu-themed ones too. The general opinions of them I’ve seen is that most of them delve into very dark and grim themes and imagery even if they’re not listed as Adult (and the ones that do have that listing are like wow not enough content warnings in the world) and that’s on top of also being quite a bit abstract and surreal in its presentation.

Honestly if I was going to talk about any of Vita Sexualic’s works, it really ought to have been ジムノペディが終わらない / The Gymnopédies Never End, because that one actually has a readily available english translation on the web, and its associated song is actually on a regular dyz album!

But no, instead I’m bringing up Jane Does, which is apparently way longer and somehow even more esoteric than that. I actually bought the digital version of this novel on the artists BOOTH page quite a long time ago too because I was so intrigued by it!

I don’t know what this story is about. Like, at all. If its anything like the author’s few works I’ve dabbled with, its probably a bit hard to grasp even in the original language, and contains too many instances of gruesomeness. ...But, no matter how much I disagree with those aspects, there’s still always been value somewhere that I took away from it.

Not that I know what that value in Parade of Jane Does would be, exactly, because even now, I’ve gained almost zero solid knowledge about this story! I could guess what its about, but I don’t want to because I’d be embarrassed at the real possibility of being 100% off the mark. So like, why am I even bringing this up at all?!

well, scanning through the novel, there is a section where the words take a pause and you’re assaulted with a whole bunch of surreal images, which I intepret as the reality around the characters falling apart. One of those images is a QR code that leads to a song, the whole reason I brought this story up in the first place!

セルフ・トーキング 或いは 魔女というガラクタによる魂の在り処への言及のバラード  (Self Talking: Or a Ballad Alluding to the Whereabouts of the Souls Of Garbage Otherwise Known as Witches)

I actually think the coolest way to experience the song if you’re not going to ever experience the novel (and you’re probably not...) is through this video on youtube, which is a really well editted thing that adds subtitles and also splices in illustrations from the novel itself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vSgnYR57BM

I’m like, not gonna even try to talk about what I think the song is about or how it relates to the story, even if I have plenty of thoughts in that department. But the biggest reason as to why I mention it on this post onw is because discovering this song and the associated story and even just glimpsing it in this way, from a distance where I barely understood it and yet found myself moved and even frightened by how it sounds and how it presents itself... Well, it played a big part in making me realise just how much I value creativity in presentation, and just how cool and how much fun it is to really play around with ways that you can make a person listen to a song or read a story. It’s sort of a similar reason why I like the dyz albums that really play around with ARG-type gimmicks.

From now until forever, I’ll always think about how the song ends, with the same line from Merami just going on and on, looping and repeating and layering over itself with no end as everything fades to quiet. Even just that little touch left a big impact on a younger (and current) me...

Anyway time to move on to something more fun! A video game! Except its got a lot of death in it. Whoops.

秘封祭 (Hifusai), or Hifuu Festival -Merry Bad End-, is a visual novel by 四面楚歌 / Surrounded By Enemies.

The hook of this game is that Renko and Merry are going about their day like any other, and depending on the choices you make, they may meet different kinds of outcomes. There are 60 stated different endings, a couple of which end really badly for one or both of them. As you progress, the whole premise of the game takes on a meta feel, as questions rise about how ‘real’ each of those bad ends were, whether the next Renko and Merry deserve to find a happy ending after all the ‘others’ died, etc etc.

Or at least that’s what I assume is the gist of it since I kinda skimmed through a playthrough on youtube n_n;;; I doubt I’ll ever be able to fully experience or even understand all the themes and nuances myself, but I’m very intrigued by the premise, format and presentation as usual. As for how it relates to RD-Sounds, they arranged for the OP and ED of the game, with vocals by Meramipop as expected! And it’s specifically the ED, the credits song, that I wanted to talk about.

イニシエイション  (Initiation) I might not have actually played through the whole game first-hand, but I still felt something special as this song played to mark the end of the very long journey full of winding paths... It’s a song that’s both dark yet triumphant, as the lyrics talk about overcoming all the other versions of themselves that met a bad end, and how they’ll resolve to crush them all, stamping over them in order to get to that good ending with the person they love... It’s pretty perfect for the vn and also for a cool, dark yet still managing to be hopeful renmerry n_n

And we’re not even done with Surrounded By Enemies yet!

祝現 (Celebration) is a CD consisting of two songs arranged by RD-Sounds. It was released alongside a big collab project called HIHUU WEDDING -Welcome to Ghostly Chapel- , featuring a wide range of art and photos themed after Merry and Renko having a wedding getting married. Yeah!! That’s what I’m all for!!! Please do more of this thing instead of uncomfortable stories about Sumireko But i’m here to talk about the songs.

ずっと近くの明日  (Tomorrow, Forever Close) Its Renko and Merry’s wedding wovs, the song! Yeah!! Lyrics about exchanging promises to be together forever, about how it all feels like a wonderful dream, and how they’ll walk hand-in-hand towards the future no matter what it holds for them! It’s a perfect theme song for the entire HIHUU WEDDING project as a whole. I love it a lot for how completely fluffy and happy it is.

But I also love it because its necessary to come before the second song on the disc, which wouldn’t be as good on its own without this song to provide context and then contast.

すぐ傍にある未来 (The Future So Near To Us) .....

....This is the only song that could challenge GITR’s Forgotten Paradise for title of my favourite hifuu arrange ever. In concept, it’s pretty similar to Himegoto Club, how absolutely nothing else in the world matters except for the bond Merry and Renko share in the present.

But compared to Himegoto Club which was all about love in the face of uncertainty, I feel like すぐ傍にある未来 is about love in the face of inevitability. The world, dreams, and anything else they may have loved or had hopes for is inevitably going to disappear if it hasn’t already, and even the idea that their current happiness can last forever is just a dream that won’t come true.

And yet they are exchanging vows and promises to stay together forever anyway, and are happy to do so... Aaaaaargh!!!! 😭🤪🤯🙃😻

(^ getting a lot of mileage out of this one lately)

I think that about covers all the rd-sounds hifuu songs that have and continue to really and truly drive me insane for one reason or another...

Now I know there’s dyz’s C99 album △ (Tetra) with is awesome and great and I love it and also talked about briefly here in this post, but I think I decided halfway through making this post here that I only wanted to cover older songs that were ‘formative’ in a sense to my hifuu-listening experience over the years, so Tetra’s too recent to qualify. Though, obviously, I super recommend it and I feel like it’s inevitable that I’ll gush more about it and who knows what else in the future too n_n

“No no no no please rethink this ba!” Raya is currently following the chief of heart through the halls of the palace. The chief, benja, is busy planning on the upcoming summer festival, and doesn’t have time for Raya’s whining- again. He’s busy emailing the chiefs of other lands about things like food, and entertainment ideas.

“Dewdrop, what’s the big deal? Is it so hard to volunteer at the beach?” Benja complains as he turns around, with the glow of the phone screen shining on his face.

“Um- Yeah! Whenever I volunteer at the beach, Namaari and her fang posse are ALWAYS there, causing havoc and being loud, and they don’t give a damn!” Raya shouts. The staff of heart are looking over at this father-daughter quarrel, noticing Raya’s raise in tone.

“Dewdrop, I understand that Namaari has the tendency to be...rambunctious, but it’s for the community? What if you save someone from drowning! Think about that and not Namaari, eh?” Benja pats the side of Raya’s shoulder and walks over to Tao, the head of the heart land cook team to talk about dinner plans for the festival. Raya starts to walk after him but stops and pouts to her self.

“You good?” Sisu questions. She came from the kitchen with a bowl of spicy shrimp congee

“No- far from that. Ba’s making me volunteer at the beach.” Raya sulks in the chair behind her and rests her chin on her hand.

“Why do you sound sad? That’s a good thing! Beach’s are fun, and- beachy!” Sisu exclaims, taking a sip from her congee.

“There not super “beachy” when the person I despise most is there- Namaari.” Raya pouts and crosses her arms.

“Sure- “despise”. I think you should go though. And I’ll come too! I’ll be your wing-women,” Sisu walks away with a wink and whispers the last part, but that doesn’t stop Raya from over hearing this jeering remark from the dragon. Sisu knows that Namaari and Raya have a love hate relationship- and the flirty banter they show when there together proves just that.

~*~*~*~*

“We’re here,” Raya parks her Jeep and opens the car door. She’s wearing a scarlet read swim suit with the words, “life guard” on the front and, “Raya” Imprinted on the back, both in bold white letters. She’s also wearing her iconic bamboo hat.

Sisu jumps out of the trunk of the car with pool noodles and water guns.

“Time to terrorize as many kids as I can find- catch ya later Raya!” Sisu dashes to the area of the beach with the most children, prancing like a goblin. Raya puts her hand on her hip and laughs, afterwards applying sunscreen to her nose.

Raya scans the sun lit beach- no Namaari. Was this Raya’s lucky day? A day of...peace and quiet? She silently celebrated, but still looked around to make sure her hopes were true.

She suddenly feels a tall presence arrive behind her. Her bamboo hat nearly falls off as she shrieks with terror.

“Boo!” Namaari shakes Raya’s shoulders from behind in attempts of scaring her- it worked. Raya turned around in a defense position, only to realize it was her rival.

“Namaari,” Raya spat with a mean look, taking a good look at the tall, muscular women.

“What’s dripping dep la?” Namaari says nostalgically. She new that Raya hated it when Namaari called her Dep la.

“I told you to stop calling me that, undercut,” Raya crosses her arms and smirks. Namaari rolls her eyes at the remark.

“Wheres your little posse of fang people?” Raya asked with attitude. Namaari thought this was cute.

“Didn’t show- and I didn’t want them too. I wanted a day all to my self. To get a good beach work out in.” Namaari winked as she tossed the dumbell in her hand up in the air effortlessly and caught it.

Raya sucked her lips and tried not to stare at namaari’s biceps, which was very, very hard for her.

“Volunteering again?” Namaari teased with an eye brow quirk as she looked Raya up and down.

“Yes- is that a problem little miss muscles?” Raya responded, quite embarrassed by how she admitted to the fact that she was looking at Namaari’s biceps. This made Namaari chuckle deeply.

“Not at all, princess. Besides,” she leaned in closer, “I kinda like seeing you in your cute little bathing suit.” She looked Raya up and down once more, smirked, and turned to head towards the beach.

Raya stood their with her face red and her arms still crossed and completely still, her feet hot from the asphalt.

~*~*~*~*~

Sisu came to meet Raya at her life gaurd chair after a while.

“Good news- found lots of kids to scare. Bad news- I think their mothers called the cops so I might have to split later on,” Sisu chuckled.

“Yeah. Uh huh.” Raya responded, only half listening because she was busy watching Namaari do high knees and bicep curls and sit ups. Hot. Hot. Hot- Was all Raya could think about. But she would never actually say that, ew.

Sisu soon noticed what Raya was so occupied by, and teased, “hmm...interesting. Namaari is super fine, huh?” Sisu said as a test.

“Yes ma’am,” Raya was practically frothing at the mouth, but snapped out of it when she fully thought about what Sisu had asked. “I-I MEAN NO! Of course she’s not! I mean sh-she’s okay looking, but I’ve seen WAY better than Namaari. Like, WAY.” Raya sat back in her chair with her arms crossed and lips pursed, still staring at Namaari helplessly.

“Oh yeah? Name ‘em,” Sisu interrogated, trying on Raya’s bamboo hat hat hat was nestled in the sand.

“No problem! There’s- um...uh...you know that one...guy..” Raya trails off as she stared at Namaari doing push ups. She shakes her head out of the trance.

“YOU CANT EVEN NAME ONE BYE-“ Sisu couldn’t help but laugh. Raya frowned with crossed arms and slumped.

“You know, I’ve seems that “one guy” tons of times...he’s not that bad looking if I’m honest.” Namaari is suddenly leaning on the right side of Raya’s chair, still doing bicep curls with the arm not on the chair.

“YOU- h-how much did you here..?” Raya felt like telling her off, but that wouldn’t do anything. When Raya was in private, she could think of all kinds of ways to tell Namaari off. But she can never apply that stuff when she sees her face to face.

“Not much...only the part where YOU couldn’t name anyone more attractive than ME.” Namaari smiled up at Raya from where she was at the bottom of the tall chair.

“Um, NO. That’s not what I was asked. I was asked to name someone BETTER than you, not attractive,” Raya climbed down from her chair and leaned against it, arching her back with both hands on her hips, looking up at the fang princess.

“Pfft- not what I heard but, puh-taytoe puh-tatoe right?” Namaari jeered. “You’d be a really good liar if your blushing didn’t always give you away Princess,” Namaari had a hand on the side of the chair, trapping Raya against it. Namaari caressed Raya’s hot face and used her index finger to raise her chin and smiled, “it’s cute though”. Namaari said with a smirk. That damn smirk.

Screw it, Raya thought. She grabbed namaari’s tank top with both hands and crashed her lips against hers. Namaari hummed with approval, one hand on Raya’s waist and the other in her hair. Sisu was on the side, jumping and silently squealing with happiness.

They kept this up for another 30 seconds or so. Raya was the first to break away from the kiss.

“I knew your lips were soft.” Namaari said all smiley as she backed away to return to her work out area. “Thanks for giving me a taste!” She shouted over her shoulder.

Raya was standing still with her lips pursed and her arms stiff to her side.

“Oh m-my spirits...I just did that.” Raya whispered aloud.

“UH- YEAH YOU DID!” Sisu hollered as she high fives the hand Raya was using just then to wave at Namaari nervously with a dorkish smile and giggle.

“But quit making that face. You’re starting to remind me of Marinette from MLB,” Sisu rolled her eyes and laughed.

“YESH NAMAARI LIKES ME TOOOOO!” Raya pumped her fists like a kid and yells a little too loud, causing the beach occupants near by to turn around, some even laugh. Raya’s knees turned in nervously.

“Can we please leave before I embarrass my self anymore?” Raya whines.

“Sure, lets get outta here lover girl, I’ll cover you for chief Benja.” Sisu grabs her arm.
