What is this?
“Embroidered Snowy Steps” ❋ The only footprints that won’t melt
ERASE the plot of the whole series from your minds. they’re living a calm regular life and have their own jayviks to obsess over.
this is what happened in think i dont know
it's funny that we were all so worried about viktor's villain arc and then jayce was like L + ratio + here's my unconditional love and forgiveness + i always thought your imperfections were beautiful + nothing about you is broken to me + in every universe i will find you and save you from your loneliness + none of this is worth it if you arent by my side. and viktor folded IMMEDIATELY
I can make this moment even better~
noooo bro please wake up :(
The album concept of mine for the far-far future.
Apocalypse: decay
First album, in which we go through everything that makes us humans. I want everything to be concentrated on the humanity of everything. How we experience happiness and anger and greed and everything, how we destroy everything around us by being selfish and uncaring and just seemingly not good people; while one the other end, everyone has pretty things, everyone does good things, every motivation is pure for the person.
I want to show the many layers humanity has.
Then at one point death starts. Which is awful and irreversible. And no one really deserves it, yet, even if they finally somehow work together and come together, or anything else, nothing will work. And you can pray to God, restrict yourself all you want, be good for one more day, do more for others, or give up, and just get everything yourself. Despite this, the good, the bad, the selfish and the selfless. Everyone burns the same. Everything ends the same. And there will be nothing.
some possible song titles: 1. Thirst - this is already valid. This will happen, somewhere around the end of the album. It's about thirst. Every meaning. But it's mostly just about yearning for something you cannot have. 2. Apocalypse - title. 3.
Apocalypse: rebirth
Then this is rebirth. The second album is about how, in an empty world, nature takes over everything again, how trees and flowers and rivers take their rightful place.
The first half is completely fucked. The beginning is empty like nothing you ever heard. Barely nothing, barely a sound, barely a group of notes. And when something appears, it is just objectively fucked. There's radiation. There are genetically altered animals and plants and life. There is the expanding death that somehow doesn't seem to disappear. There are melodies of the past - quite literally melodies that were heard already in the first album. But somehow different, just not right.
Then, the change comes slow and steady. As flowers bloom, and generations pass and continents merge and time flies. Life appears again, in the depths of an ocean and the top of the highest mountains. Slowly, the notes take their rightful places. Flowers open their petals and the greenery finds its way through the dead cities, mold settles on everything left behind, and mushrooms form on couches. Like a second birth, nature takes its rightful place in a world once destroyed but never truly dead.
some possible song titles: 1. And then there was nothing - possibly the first song. A lot of minutes. Mostly silence.

Hey! Are there blacksmiths in your story? I'm a hobbyist blacksmith and I'm here to help!
Blacksmithing is one of those things that a lot of people get wrong because they don't realize it stuck around past the advent of the assembly line. Here's a list of some common misconceptions I see and what to do instead!
Not all blacksmiths are gigantic terrifying muscly guys with beards and deep voices. I am 5'8, skinny as a twig, have the muscle mass of wet bread, and exist on Tumblr. Anybody who is strong enough to pick up a hammer and understands fire safety can be a blacksmith.
You can make more than just swords with blacksmithing. Though swords are undeniably practical, they're not the only things that can be made. I've made candle holders, wall hooks, kebab skewers, fire pokers, and more. Look up things other people have made, it's really amazing what can be done.
"Red-hot" is actually not that hot by blacksmith terms. when heated up, the metal goes from black, to red, to orange, to yellow, to white. (for temperature reference, I got a second degree burn from picking up a piece of metal on black heat) The ideal color to work with the metal is yellow. White is not ideal at all, because the metal starts sparking and gets all weird and lumpy when it cools. (At no point in this process does the metal get even close to melting. It gets soft enough to work with, but I have never once seen metal become a liquid.)
Blacksmithing takes fucking forever. Not even taking into account starting the forge, selecting and preparing metal, etc. etc. it takes me around an hour to make one (1) fancy skewer. The metals blacksmiths work with heat up and cool down incredibly fast. When the forge is going good, it only takes like 20 seconds to get your metal hot enough to work with, but it takes about the same time for it to cool down, sometimes even less.
As long as you are careful, it is actually stupidly easy to not get hurt while blacksmithing. When I picked up this hobby I was like "okay, cool! I'm gonna make stuff, and I'm gonna end up in the hospital at some point!" Thus far, the latter has yet to occur. I've been doing this for nearly a year. I have earned myself a new scar from the aforementioned second degree burn, and one singe mark on my jeans. I don't even wear gloves half the time. Literally just eye protection, common sense, and fast reflexes and you'll probably be fine. (Accidents still happen of course, but I have found adequate safety weirdly easy to achieve with this hobby)
A forge is not a fire. The forge is the thing blacksmiths put their metal in to heat it up. It starts as a small fire, usually with newspaper or something else that's relatively small and burns easily, which we then put in the forge itself, which is sort of a fireplace-esque thing (there's a lot of different types of forge, look into it and try to figure out what sort of forge would make the most sense for the context you're writing about) and we cover it with coal, which then catches fire and heats up. The forge gets really hot, and sometimes really bright. Sometimes when I stare at the forge for too long it's like staring into the sun. The forge is also not a waterfall of lava, Steven Universe. It doesn't work like that, Steven Universe.
Welding and blacksmithing are not the same thing. They often go hand-in-hand, but you cannot connected two pieces of metal with traditional blacksmithing alone. There is something called forge welding, where you heat your metal, sprinkle borax (or the in-universe equivalent) on it to prevent the metal from oxidizing/being non-weldable, and hammer the pieces together very quickly. Forge welding also sends sparks flying everywhere, and if you're working in a small space with other blacksmiths, you usually want to announce that you're welding before you do, so that everyone in a five-foot radius can get out of that five-foot radius. You also cannot just stuck some random pebbles into the forge and get a decent piece of metal that you can actually make something with, Steven Universe. It doesn't work like that, Steven Universe.
Anvils are really fucking heavy. Nothing else to add here.
Making jewelry is not a blacksmithing thing unless you want jewelry made of steel. And it will be very ugly if you try. Blacksmithing wasn't invented to make small things.
If there's anything here I didn't mention, just ask and I'll do my best to answer.
Gotta say my favorite moment from the Hozier concert was him saying "I almost cracked up at the beginning of that song. There's a person in the front row wearing a shirt that says 'Hozier? I hardly know her!'" and then once the laughter died down, "Now I'm going to lighten the mood a little with a song about hitting an animal with your car"
Seonghwa in all white just feels ethereal.
When I was....a young boy...my father.....had what he called the "bean jar". A jar that's full of beans.
He said, "when you, act up I'll, remove them, and when the jar is empty, the world will fucking end."
My siblings, we argued, a whole lot, and then when he removed them, we'd cry and shake in fear.
Because one day, our failure, will lead us, to doom our planet's people, to join the black parade
