JOHN PAULO 'PABLO' NASE

HIS VISUAL IS INSANE 😭🖤

Like, okay, musically, they are all HUGE hype songs with sick beats. The performance showed off the boys' stable live vocals and sharp dancing. I mean, holy hell, the choreography, the swag, the high notes and the deep bass-- the other award-winning K-Pop and J-Pop idols in the audience were either getting so hyped or dumbfounded with the amazing spectacle they were witnessing. There's been so many posts both in socmed and traditional media singing praises to the performance.

But also lyrically: GENTO is about getting up, developing yourself, and giving 100% even through hardships, even when you start from dirt, until you find the gold within yourself. Mana is about remaining down-to-earth and keeping feet on the ground even when you're using your Gift to flying and reaching for your dreams. It also talks about leaving doubters in the dust. And speaking of doubters… Bazinga is about using haters' hostility as gasoline to burn brighter, to show them that you're the boss. CRIMZONE is about being unstoppable, getting the drip you deserve after giving everything--blood, sweat, and tear--with supporters rallying behind you. And then they book-end the performance with GENTO again, because you won't easily find GOLD LIKE THIS.

RADISHN’T: Prithee, which one of you had planned to tell

Of diff'rent flavours gained by simple act

Of brewing tea with water hot, not cold?

MOTHMAN: Egad! you poured the water cold? Wherefore?!

FROG: An answer from you, Radish, I must beg.

RADISHN’T: Indeed I did, dear friends - why does this shock?

Without the guide of others I assumed

That heat was merely added for the sake

Of expediting this solution’s brewing!

Half a decade I have spent, or more,

Not questioning this worldview I had made.

In fact, I am myself a bit surprised

That you might think that I, your dearest friend,

Might have a patience of sufficient stock

To wait until a pot of water boils.

FROG: Three minutes overtaxes patience so?

The microwave will beep when it is done!

CATS'N: My friend, this answer vexes me the more!

Can it be true that thou dost boil by nuke?!

FROG: Are you in turn, my friend, so shocked to know

That I have not the patience, like our Root,

To boil upon the stove our favour’d drink?

CATS'N: It takes less than a minute!

FROG: On what plate?

Perhaps your dinner cooks atop the sun?

CATS'N: How long can take your stove to fill the task

Of boiling but a single cup alone?

FROG: In minutes?

CATS'N: Yes!

FROG: I counted seven, once.

CATS'N: Perhaps you ought to have your timepiece checked!

If on a middle heat you place the cup

You soon will have the scalding drink you crave.

Two minutes, in a mug upon the plate

Or even less, if you should have a pot.

FROG: You cause me tears - is this how thou dost live?

You place upon the iron stove a mug?

A mug, ceramic, filled with water cold?

How do these flames, though medium in height,

Not shatter like a glass this fragile thing?

Surely, then, your kitchen is bewitched

With magicks far beyond the mortal ken!

(The FOUR realise they have wandered into the THRONE ROOM. The ROYAL COURT watches with fascination.)

adrien, nino, marinette, and alya play a particularly interesting sleepover game of truth or dare.

this is possibly one of the best things i’ve ever created. i was basically laughing the entire way through doing it and was constantly sending snippets to the @mlfanfiction people (so thanks u guys for the encouragement!!) i hope you enjoy reading this as much as i enjoyed writing it

AO3

“You’re what?” asks Alya, frowning at her friend and hugging her pillow between crossed legs and arms.

“I’m… Ladybug?”

“Dude,” breathes Nino, laying upside down across the bed and flopping back to stare at her, his glasses sliding off his face. “Dude.”

Adrien just stares.

Marinette squirms uncomfortably. Maybe this was a bad idea. “Do you not believe me?”

“No, girl, we believe you, we’re just… what,” Alya replies, gesturing at her with one hand. “I mean, I never thought you’d admit it.”

“What?!” Squeaks Marinette, her face flaming red. “What do you mean? Are you saying you knew?”

Alya nods solemnly and Nino kind of shrugs. “You were never that subtle about it. Always disappearing and being late. But we didn’t want to confront you about it so we just kind of discussed it and the more we did, the more obvious it seemed,” Nino admits.

“I can’t believe this,” says Marinette with a laugh, sounding as if she’s about to faint. “Does anyone else know? Adrien, did you know?”

The three of them glance over at Adrien and he just stares back with wide eyes and then slowly shakes his head.

“I almost forgot that sunshine boy over here totally has a thing for Ladybug,” Alya says, wiggling her eyebrows. “Looks like you two were made for each other, am I right?”

“Th-that’s not true at all!” Exclaims Adrien, his face immediately going as red as Nathanael’s hair as he lifts his pillow and launches it towards her as forcefully as he can. Alya bursts into laughter as it bounces off her head and she chucks it back. “I never said that.”

“Dude. Are you kidding,” Nino deadpans. “You don’t even need to say it. Marinette’s not good at hiding her identity, you’re not good at hiding your emotions. I know that most of the time you restrain yourself from talking about her but I can see it in your eyes. Like the burning flames of the Eiffel Tower after an akuma attack are flickering behind them.”

“Poetic,” snorts Alya, and Nino grins back at her. “Why don’t you write poetry like that for me?”

when sunbeams do this.

So after seeing Beauty and the Beast 3D, can I just take a moment to discuss the un-tapped potential of post-movie ending shenanigans.

Prince Adam will be the most adorable obnoxious prince ever (also he is so handsome and dreamy UNPOPULAR OPINION WHATEVER I was swooning, do you not see that barrel chest and aquiline nose and OMG TOOTHY GRIN uuuuugh hot hot hot). I mean, he spent his developing life as a chimera beast. He had a hearty roar! HIS TEMPER WAS TERRIBLE. His eating habits took effort! He could jump banisters! Shit just doesn’t go away when he’s human, god damn. For the most part he’ll be doing his best to act like a proper gentleman but when he’s excited he’ll run up the stairs on all fours and when he’s in a mood (which let’s be honest will be 99.99999% of the time I mean we all saw the same movie right) he’ll have horrible posture and pouting and growling with great gusto. Even if he technically can’t do that anymore.

Also whoever is of the opinion that Belle gave up her life to be married (i.e. her dreams of travel, adventure, and seeing more!!!) can just go jump off something humongous because, uh, hello she married a prince who gave her an entire library wing as a starter. This is the woman that saved his life and that he adores beyond belief!!! THEY WILL GO TRAVELLING EVERYWHERE. omg can you imagine the tourism antics. They visit Italy! Belle is beside herself at the BEAUTY EVERYWHERE OMG and Adam meanwhile is trying not to get into the third fight that day.

Also did you see how they kissed

THEY ARE ALL OVER EACH OTHER LOOK AT HOW THEY HAVE BEEN WANTING TO LUST OVER EACH OTHER THIS ENTIRE MOVIE but all the furry crap made it all awkward and now they’re like, HOT DAMN LET’S DO THIS ALL THE TIME.

They will be loud as hell and Chip will be asking very awkward questions as to why they are always fighting in their room.

“It’s Been An Adventure, Mr. Fredricksen.”

“Adventure Is Out There!”

Here are the shots I did for the @mlreanimatecollab! (Full episode available to watch here on YouTube and Vimeo)

The Ladynoir animation was first one I did. Now that I have a little more experience I can see tons of mistakes in the shot. But in spite of that, I’m still pretty happy with it, especially the lip syncing and facial expressions. 😚

The second animation I did was of Adrien signing his autograph. Drawing hands is hard, but I somehow survived animating them! Also I wanted to poke fun at the superheroes/secret identity trope. XD

The third one I did was the Max/Kim one. I hate drawing Max’s flat top hair, it always looks terrible when I try, so I gave him the hair he had in the Dark Cupid chapter of WDDM. This was also the first of my animations where I tried adding some shading. Also I may or may not have added some secret Max blushing, huhuhuhu ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

The last one is Chat “waking up” from Dark Cupid’s spell. I really enjoyed making this one, even though his hair is always hard to draw. I loved making his various facial expressions and the effect of the black lipstick fading away :D
