Hi! I’m Nick. Just to reiterate, my laptop has been on the verge of completely dying for the past year or so. My desktop died a number of months ago, leaving me with this. My laptop has only gotten worse with time and if I’m left without a laptop, well. It would probably be a pretty bad time for me considering school, internet friends, etc etc etc. So I’m looking to raise as much money as I can for myself to buy a new laptop by the end of the summer, which is where you come in!

ONE 2-4 MINUTE SONG = A NICE, EVEN $35 USD!

Everything is negotiable, even if you don’t think you can afford the full price! We can adjust time lengths, complexity, etc. Payment accepted whenever, but I’d prefer it if it came after I finished the song, but before I send it! I won’t send or post anything without payment! I’ll be conducting all this through Paypal.

Here are some examples of my songs.

If you have any questions or wish to reserve a slot for my commissions, please either send an ask, submit, or fanmail to this tumblr (zoombimalware.tumblr.com) OR send an email to [email protected] … Please remember to give me any information you can regarding song style, any sort of emotion you want to focus on, or anything else that would help! I’ll try any style of song I’m given!

Thank you!!!

Because if so, sorry to say, but this message is incredibly irritating.

Tonight: friendly reminders how young Rover was. The beginning of this song is basically how Rover sounds? His voice still hadn’t dropped.

P.K.'s Story

{ TW: abuse, drug mention, fire, finger trauma }

Might as well explain this now. The words behind P.K.'s motive card began when she was very little. I'll try to keep this as short as possible! this is so fucking dramatic. im done

[pk screaming from the afterlife] ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡QUE HACES BESANDO A LA LISIADA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To her parents, Peko is more of an accessory than a child. They really do love her in their own weird, twisted way, but some of my friends have seen the things they would say to her (Bee and Sarah being probably the only Doubt players). For her entire life, she was taught that children were to be seen, not heard. She was not often allowed to leave their estate, and began to feel as though her bedroom was more of a prison cell that she was only let out of to entertain her parents' friends at dinner parties.

Now, when P.K. was six, she developed a benign tumor in her throat. It made it difficult for her to eat or breathe, so she underwent an emergency trachiodectomy to remove this symptomatic obstruction. Although the surgery was a success and the tumor was removed, there was severe damage to her laryngeal nerve, which meant she had to undergo yet another emergency procedure to remove this obstruction. Though it was ultimately cleared and P.K. survived the surgeries, the damage to the nerves was irreparable and her vocal chords had been severed. There was absolutely no chance of her ever getting to speak again, and her parents were thrilled. After all, the motto of their company (of which Peko is the heir) is "Your voices speak for us". By becoming aphonic, their daughter had become the perfect heir and face of the company.

Peko took up ballet at the insistence of her mother, in order to battle early-onset childhood depression. It worked, but as the years went by, she began to feel stifled by how stiff and rigid the style was. And although she ultimately became a Super High School Level in Urban Dancing, it should be noted that Peko is actually a better ballet dancer than she is hip hop.

Until she turned thirteen, she was miserable, and didn't have her own life or ideals or any dreams for the future. But that all changed when the fire nation attacked when she was out on a trip into town and saw a dance studio, far different from her own, that housed street dancers and modern music. She was thrilled and enthralled by this dance that gave the illusion of rigidity but that was freer than she would EVER be. She ran away from home that night and never looked back. For a while, she lived on the street (about a year). Though she never did drugs or anything else, she did accrue a rather enormous debt from some rather salty people. Though none of them would ever hurt her, she wanted to repay the money she'd borrowed, and it is very difficult to do so when living on your own at her young age. Even for a famous dancer (who...wasn't famous. Yet).

Out on the streets is where she met Hatori Kudo, who I named after two characters from Detective Conan because I'm anime trash

At the time, she was fourteen and he was nineteen. Obviously it's already a little sketch, but for about five months he was!! Really nice to her!! He talked to some friends and got her settled into a little shack-type house not TOO far from her dance studio and he stayed there with her because he knew how scared she was of not having anyone around if she started coughing or choking or dying, basically. That is P.K.'s worst fear: dying alone and not being able to scream or call for help. Let me restate that: this guy KNEW exactly what she was the most afraid of, and he KNEW she was, let's face it, pretty tiny and defenseless.

It started when she found out that he was dealing drugs (meth, mostly). He found out that she knew and he felt that he had to regain power over her or she'd leave or report him to the authorities (this is also where P.K.'s determination to have the upper hand in threatening situations, such as when Misaki asked for Noriaki's keycard while P.K. was emotionally vulnerable and got rek'd for it, came from). It started off with """just""" the burns. He'd put his cigarettes out on her arms or stomach and after a while, the mere SIGHT of a cigarette was enough to drive her into a panic attack.

Sorry, Shigeru!

P.K. got used to this sort of behavior. She learned to live with it, as absolutely horrific as that sentence is to write, because her fear of being alone overwhelmed her fear of being around him. This doesn't mean she didn't have her moments, though. There were times, as she mentioned, when she stood at bus stops and saw numbers for hotlines and got so far as dialing them and letting them ring before remembering...well, the obvious. She gave up on things ever changing. She literally thought that her life was going to go on like that forever. And it MIGHT have, if he hadn't gotten busted for possession. He came home, Peko wasn't there, and he got pissed off because she wasn't the one to post bail (forgetting the fact that he didn't even try to get a hold of her and SHE HAS NO MONEY).

If asked, the next thing Peko remembers is waking up in the ICU with an orbital rim fracture, a busted lip, a skull fracture, a few broken ribs, and every single one of her fingers were broken. It isn't clear whether or not Hatori did it out of cruelty or to keep her from saying who'd done it. It's hard for me to accurately describe the way she felt when she realized that she had no way of communicating to anyone for a pretty extended period of time, but it really messed with her emotional state. This is why it's so significant that Peko let Noriaki and Rover hold her hands - it isn't something she's normally okay with, at all.

Anyways, PK gets out of the hospital with a shiny new restraining order against him, healed but sore fingers, and a half-healthy sense of paranoia. She was terrified. She went to her house to move everything she had anywhere else but he was there and he lunged at her again just like he had the other night except this time he's wobbly on his feet because he's been drinking and using and she dodges away from him. He hits his head on the corner of the countertop and is knocked out cold and she wants to cry with relief, honestly, and she wants that to be the end of it. But his lighters and cigarettes had fallen out of his pockets and as she picked them up, she remembered everything that he'd done to her. She remembered what he'd said before he'd gotten knocked out: that the law was nothing, it couldn't protect her, because since when did the cops ever come to this part of town anyways? She remembered that feeling of hopelessness, and that all of this happened because she was too weak to stand up for herself and stop it and finally, she remembered that he was going to wake up eventually and he was going to kill her.

P.K. knocked over a can of gas that she used to power her stove, grabbed what few possessions it wouldn't look strange for her to carry, and dropped the lighter into the whole mess.

When the cops came by later, after verifying that she hadn't left her dance studio that night at all (thanks, pals), they told her she was lucky. The guy had been trying to burn her house down, and in a drunken stupor, had slipped on the gasoline he'd poured and knocked himself out while the fire raged. Who knows what he would have done if she'd actually been home?

P.K. is very guilty over what she did, and can't look at the sight of fire anymore without feeling shaky, ill, nauseous, the works. She is happy he's dead, but hates herself for killing him, if that makes sense.

AND AS A SIDE NOTE the lighters and matches in her room are part of her coping mechanism!  She was trying to fight her phobia by forcing herself to watch little fires in order to desensitize herself to it. It's why she's able to cook on a stove with fire again. They had nothing to do with the burns on her body.

And now we see why I say P.K.'s life is a fucking telenovela seriously how did i get away w/ this basic bitch of a backstory

tfw i'm pleasantly surprised by the way i portrayed the symbolism in pk's execution!!!
