 MemeMagic: Weaving Spells with the Threads of Viral Culture

The digital realm thrums with a symphony of information, a cacophony of images, words, and sounds that weave a tapestry of human experience. Within this swirling vortex of data, a new form of magic is taking shape – the magic of memes.  These seemingly innocuous cultural artifacts, often dismissed as mere entertainment or fleeting trends, possess a hidden power, a potent ability to influence the…

[mireaerim]

tenertia ; the city of vines

tenertia is the mirea in mireaerim. it is a realm of darkness. there is no sunlight, the only source of light is the glowing fauna and flora and the charmed lanterns in the city. the lanterns are made with leaves from the forest and they produce artificial heat and light. the forest is very dangerous because it is cold, dark, and mischevious. the city of tenertia is surround by a wall of vines that reach throughout the streets and cover buildings. the vines protect everyone inside the city from the forest, and the creatures and plants in the forest from the lights in the city. without a source of immortality, the tenertians are very familiar with Death. they honor and celebrate it, and much of their magic involves interacting with spirits and necromantic divination. Preserving life is of course important, but allowing Death its course is more so. When wounds or illness are severe enough, the "wind cools" and priorities will shift to comfort of the living body and the soul. while tenertia is not governed by any one group or person, there are known powerful mages who can be called upon is unrest occurs or there is a problem with the city's charms. just as lumrish people do not understand the importance of death in tenertia, tenertians scorn the "obsession" with life and health in lumris.

lumris ; the city of glass

lumris is the aerim in mireaerim. it is a realm of light. the sun shines always, so the city is made of enchanted glass. instead of reflecting light and burning like regular prisms, the glass of lumris traps the excess heat, and absorbs the light at nighttime. there is a giant glass dome over the main part of the kingdom that is enchanted with protections from the heat and from the weather. every window is made with stained glass, the pictures with sigils and other magics. small prisms are hung above doorways as a symbol of truth, and glass statues of old leaders are erect in city squares. science is very important in lumris. the city council is run by academics and the magic used in lumris is scientific; alchemy, sigils, potions. the light of the sun is what creates immortality, so lumrish people are unfamiliar with and frown upon the death magic of tenertia, referring to it as "dark" and "unnatural." this of course is not true, and if lumrish people and tenertians interacted with each other, they would quickly learn so.

                                              [ song 1 ][ song 2 ]

“David Bowie, He’s my starman.”

                                     “In the honor of the goblin king, me & friends hit the street of Seoul.”

“We created this street performance and recorded for your viewing.”

                                       “Rest in peace,  may your music forever live on in people’s hearts.”

The day when Yongsun heard about the tragic lose of one of heroes which admire greatly especially when Labyrinth was one of all time classic movies. She felt the need to show tribute to the great man along with few friends who decide to create this street performance. The girls head down to Hongdae soundbox then set up the place for it seem to normal performance. Solar tuned her guitar making sure the mic was working plus there were speakers place on the corners. Let see what the little songstress had in store for the people of seoul on this gloomy looking day. 

Yongsun just started to play her guitar while wearing big brown coat looking all snug cozy as softly sang the verse as well she possibly can to honor one of her favorite artists even though she may not have the unique voice of David Bowie, the girl made it her own with husky tone to her voice. 

Didn't know what time it was and the lights were low I leaned back on my radio Some cat was layin' down some rock 'n' roll 'lotta soul, he said

The girl learnt how to sing and talk in english by watching american movies and listening to the music plus it has become an main subject to learn at schools these days. She may not be able to have full deep conversation in english but she knows how to say the basics and sing along with the songs even though korean accent is quiet strong. 

Then the loud sound did seem to fade Came back like a slow voice on a wave of phase That weren't no D.J. that was hazy cosmic jive

Once the chorus kicked in, Solar open her heart as start give it more belly as the starman she was singing about was about Ziggy Stardust himself, he was her starman waiting in the sky. Yongsun eyes fill with emotion mixed with happiness & sadness as let the words float out of her mouth. 

There's a starman waiting in the sky He'd like to come and meet us But he thinks he'd blow our minds There's a starman waiting in the sky He's told us not to blow it Cause he knows it's all worthwhile

After the chorus she had little smirk after she said those little words before doing the guitar break letting her fingers play along the strings making those beautiful sounds while noticing that she gathered a small crowd now not many but just enough for what was coming next. Meanwhile her friends hide themselves within the small crowd acting like normal person watching the show. 

He told me: Let the children lose it Let the children use it Let all the children boogie

Once the girl finished playing the guitar she took it the guitar  put into the case while the speakers started to make weird dramatic sounds which were from the beginning of dance magic if you knew the movie giving her time to undo her coat to reveal her lime dress which made at home. Solar grabbed the mic pointed at her friend started to talk doing that small back and forth with cheeky wink at the end of it with a thumbs up as they didn’t mess up even once.

You remind me of the babe What babe? babe with the power What power? power of voodoo Who do? you do Do what? remind me of the babe

The mic was removed from the mic stand while tightly gasped in her hand as start to sing the song and re-telling this sad story to the crowd with her elbow resting on the mic strand along facial mime expressions to make it more alluring to watch.

I saw my baby, crying hard as babe could cry What could I do My baby's love had gone And left my baby blue Nobody knew

The next part was amusing as sang the words directed it at the crowd then walks into the crowd asking random strangers on what spell to use and the answers was not what was excepted. Someone said Avada Kedavra making Yongsun snort then the other Expelliarmus making it more interesting. She took the mic back then then baby said. 

What kind of magic spell to use

Avada Kedavra

Expelliarmus

Then baby said

The girl had fun interacting with the small crowd then start to sing the chorus within the people while having fun bouncing around while making sure her breathing control in check. She just had lots of fun singing this song while bouncing around making her friends dance along and other random strangers to join in making this performance to a fun event instead of some normal street performance. 

Dance magic, dance (dance magic, dance) Dance magic, dance (dance magic, dance) Put that baby spell on me Jump magic, jump (jump magic, jump) Jump magic, jump (jump magic, jump) Put that magic jump on me Slap that baby, make him free

The energy made her so damn pumped making her feel so alive as sing again among people instead of being on a stage by herself. She love to see the smiling faces as they seem to enjoy the music just as much she enjoying herself. Solar couldn’t help do some aegyo  along showing her high notes during the performance in attempt win over the hearts of people. 

I saw my baby, trying hard as babe could try What could I do My baby's fun had gone And left my baby blue Nobody knew

It was her favorite part again as she asked again what magic spell to use and the answers get sillier every time, making her laugh at the people answers. She couldn’t believe how much good idea to do this especially when they said Wingardium Leviosa and abracadabra. 

What kind of magic spell to use

Windgardium Leviosa

Abracadabra

Then baby said

The chorus returned once again, the songstress couldn’t  stop smiling as performed this song. She prayed that Bowie could see this performance and hopefully be proud of this. It is magically how a song could lift up the mood and instantly change the atmosphere of place. It wasn’t many people there but the few people who did join in made it feel special to her. 

Dance magic, dance Dance magic, dance Put that baby spell on me Jump magic, jump Jump magic, jump Put that magic jump on me Slap that baby make him free Dance magic, dance (dance magic, dance) Dance magic, dance (dance magic, dance) Dance magic, dance (dance magic, dance) Dance magic, dance (dance magic, dance) Jump magic, jump (jump magic, jump) Jump magic, jump Put that magic jump on me Slap that baby Dance magic, dance (dance magic, dance) Dance magic, dance (dance magic, dance) Dance magic Slap that slap that baby make him free Dance magic, dance (dance magic, dance) Dance magic, dance (dance magic, dance) Dance magic, dance (dance magic, dance) Dance magic, dance (dance magic, dance) Dance magic, dance (dance magic, dance) Dance magic, dance (dance magic, dance) Dance magic, dance (dance magic, dance)

Solar returns back to the stage putting the mic on the stand before bowing as the song finished, cheering and clapping the hands to people who got involved. Hopefully the video captured the atmosphere, it felt like million dollars. She felt that she could take over the world after that performance. After the video of the street performance, there was small video of Solar at the end. 

“Thank you! For watching for this video! I am so grateful for the response we got at the street performance! If you like to see more videos like this, please the subscribe and give a thumb up on this video too. Bye Bye, have an nice day!”
