Kalons-- a species with soft manes and even softer hearts.

Monitored in forests across the globe for years, these animals
have recently been declared naturally tame as well as sentient.
Scientists are asking the general population to consider adopting
Kalons for further study in their capabilities of intelligence.

Someone should probably stop me.

Omg. The world needed this Kalon. I might just have to try with the name King Candy. XD

username: Kassypen
kalon name: Lucius or “The Candy King,” or, “Mr. Rainbow,” or, “The King,” or, “Top Business Man 2018,” or, “Most Annoying But Incredibly Energetic Salesman of Anytime, Ever.”
something they liked before it was cool: Lucius has been in the fidget spinner business since the beginning of time. He would appear every night on late-night television with his loud, animated salesman voice. He was the bane of Kalon Family T.V.’s everywhere. The second his shouting voice came on the radio, listeners would suddenly become oddly infatuated by the nearest opera channel. Now let’s not give shade to the opera channel, buuuuut, they are also quite terrible. At least they are on pitch.
Days, night, mornings, afternoons, he. Was. Everywhere.
GET YOUR FIDGET SPINNERS NOW. NOW. NOW!
There were posters, cards, stickers, hula hoops. He was one Kalon. And he had one purpose in life. That purpose was to get a fidget spinner in every child’s hand’s before the day he died.
But it looked like his dream would never be realized. Oh no! What should Lucius DO???
But then one order came in. Then another. Then another. He couldn’t keep up! Kalon mothers, fathers, sons, daughters were flooding his store from 9:00am sharp to 10:00pm sharp. There were fidget spinners everywhere. You couldn’t escape the sound of ‘whrrrrrrrrr’ or whatever sounds they make. Soon, Lucius was the man of a monopoly. Businesses tried to copy his ‘works of mechanical art’ but no one could beat the master at his own game. His animated salesman voice was everywhere. But not for sales, no sir, for mark ups! He was making billions an hour!
But then.

silence

His reign was over.

That was fun to write. But a complete joke. XD


I also don’t care if the fidget spinner is huge. That’s how everyone felt.

"He stood in line and got cut
Tried out, got cut
Loved music, but the budget got cut."

"emocore", otherwise known as emotional hardcore, is a style of Post-Hardcore that emerged in Washington D.C. in 1985, as a reaction against the Hardcore Punk scene. Lyrics were often introverted and emotional which had previously been uncommon in the punk rock scene



Zaccai was always seen as a strange individual ever since the 1970s, and was always told to wear more colorful things. Something that…”fit his appearance better”. But who were they to judge him for what he did and didn’t wear? Zaccai didn’t wake up, and apply his pitch black mascara and lipstick for nothing. That’s right, despite all odds, Zaccai was emo before such a thing was cool, experiencing the stages of post-hardcore, otherwise known as emotional hardcore or ‘emocore’. After a while, when the emocore movement took off in the mid-1980s, Zaccai was a well of knowledge to others who knew him. How to apply makeup in the way that made it perfectly dark and how to make it work for any complexion. Emocore evolved, and so did he, and he always seemed ahead of the pack. Emocore didn't last forever, of course, leaving Zaccai in the dust.

It returned back in the 2000s, but that quickly faded as well, this left Zaccai with almost nobody who understood, but he knows it'll be back one day. He sees the songs insulted for being 'emo', the people insulted for being 'emo', and entire outfit styles being insulted because they're 'emo' and 'edgy'. Truly, these people didn't understand what emocore meant. Emocore, at least to him, was an emotional hardcore state of being where emotions were let out in ways that kept others from suffering as bad as they did. It was focused on meaning, and focused on emotions and letting feelings of negativity out in a way that others could understand. Zaccai hadn't worn his makeup outside in years, mostly so he could finally get a job, a place to live, and a place where others would see him for himself. But he always had it ready.

Sometimes, when he felt down, he put on the makeup, layed back on his bed, and played a good deal of music from the golden days of emocore, though his old cassette tapes can be a bit finicky. He's told other kalons that he's been into other things before everyone else, vintage items, future aesthetic, solarpunk, but all of that was a lie to hide the thing he knows will return. People respect those who enjoyed such things, but nobody he knows seems to respect an emo. One day, when people need to feel emotions again, when boys learn to be men with tears in their eyes, when weakness isn't associated with crying, and when strength is seem through scars and painful howls. When everyone allows themselves to cry, emocore will return as an outlet for that emotion.
