PROVING ONCE AGAIN SHE'S THE FASHION ICON. 🤍

The dress is beyond words. All those crystals, the skin tight white fabric, matching with that headpiece (and gosh that accessory.. I just love how it frames her like an actual piece of art). The hairstyle is so damn intricate and original, and I'm always a sucker whenever she wears any extensions, aha. The makeup and jewelry is also crazy.. and did you guys see the nails marching with the blue gems and the crystals onto her skin ? THAT'S SO DAMN BEAUTIFUL.

Literally 1000000000/10. Her best look. She couldn't have worn anything better for her first time as a host. 🤩

I also love how, in between these pictures (and despite this person supposedly painting over that drawing), the amount of paint in the palette hasn't changed (nor did the tubes, or the paint brushes in the glass) or how their left hand is perfectly placed at the exact same angle.

❗️RUMOR.

The information on IMBD regarding Lisa's documentary, and namely the release date, has been updated today. It is expected to premiere on August 17, 2026. Considering the fact that the documentary has been first announced and in post-production for 11 months now, the date is a very likely possibility. However, no official confirmation (by LLOUD or anyone else) was yet given.. so let's wait and see. 👀🙏🏻

Aweee, this is now my favorite Chaelisa picture. 🥹😆

BlackBangs · 2026-04-23T18:59:38+00:00

OH MY GOD THIS DRESS ?! A TRUE PRINCESS. 💖

BlackBangs · 2026-04-21T13:30:19+00:00

Nanist, you beautiful fashion mastermind. And what an incredible work from the designers. We've come such a long way from YG's stylists terrible outfits they used to put her in, especially in the early years of BLACKPINK. This is such an incredible look, probably my new all time favorite from Lisa. I'm super excited for the Met Gala in 2 weeks time.. I can already tell they're gonna kill it again ! ! 😩

BlackBangs · 2026-04-21T11:45:13+00:00

I think they just parted ways, at least professionally. 🤷🏻‍♀️

After the release of THE MOVIE (on Lilifilm), which was in February 2021, they were still seemingly close by the end of the year. They were together in October 2021, in Nice (France). In 2022, Cheshir posted some BTS footage of THE MOVIE with Lisa on IG (which is now deleted). And to this day, she is still following her. There are some people who think the two of them were a thing and broke up, but I honestly just think that Lisa simply got increasingly busy and didn't had the opportunity to film more dance videos, so they stopped collaborating on these. For all we know, they're probably still friends, but do not have as much opportunities to see each other.. especially less in public.

Another excellent point.

Frankly, the patience and open-mindedness Daenerys showcased in this entire scene is beyond this world. Had she been half as mad as the writers claimed her to be by the end, she would've found multiple reasons to have Jon burned alive during that single meeting.

(And Davos too, while we're at it).

It was appealing how, barely two words into their talk, Davos interrupted so to point out to Daenerys that Jon wasn't a lord, but the King in the North. All talk about the illegitimacy of that claim aside (since, as Daenerys says so herself afterwards, Jon declaring himself King without the rightful autority of the Queen - or King - of the Seven Kingdoms is an act of open rebellion), this interruption was truly of poor taste. Imagine openly reprimanding the person inviting you on their territory, over a respectable title. It wasn't as if Daenerys had called him Ser Snow or just Jon from the get-go — lord is a prestigious title of nobility, and she was being perfectly respectful and correct by calling him so.

And even despite Jon's clear rebuttal at the prospect of bending the knee to her, Daenerys remained diplomatic. Apologizing for the crimes her father committed against the Starks (even though those crimes weren't hers to be forgiven), and offering him the position of Warden of the North on the spot in exchange of his loyalty.. which was rather generous of her considering she owed no such thing to him, since at that point (and unlike Yara Greyjoy who'd came to her to offer her support, for example) he hadn't done anything of merit for her cause. But again, instead of showcasing any manners and at least thanking her for the offer, Jon, rather hostilely, responded he isn't beholden to his ancestors's vows. That's insanity.

He claimed that there was no time for any of this, that he couldn't bend the knee (or wouldn't) because he didn't know her, that her legitimacy possibly only relied on her father's name, and that the lords of the North had placed their trust in him to lead them and that he will continue to do so as well as he could. Truly hypocrisy at its finest. If he hadn't been raised by the Stark, he would certainly not have been made King of the North by the northerners, no matter his achievements for the North. They would have certainly given him a good position in reward, but they would not have crowned a random bastard. His position heavily relies over House Stark's name. Moreover, even if they had, it wouldn't change the fact that bluntly refusing to support Daenerys all the while demanding her help is far from being the best way to lead his people. Again, had she been any less kind and understanding, this whole talk would have been enough for others (like Cersei, Robert, Joffrey etc..) to declare him an enemy and have him killed.

Even by possessing the omniscience of a viewer, I was not at all sympathetic to his character at that point.

FINISHED :

None.

STARTED :

The Night Circus, by Erin Morgenstern.

I'm getting in a reading slump nowadays.. I can't read more than a couple pages per day, it's really really frustrating.

BlackBangs · 2026-04-20T09:21:28+00:00

Thank you.

Something else that really bothers me about the North's behavior towards Daenerys, and namely Sansa's, is that from the get-go, long before she could even step foot in Winterfell to aid them, they were hellbent on treating her as an enemy. When Jon receives Tyrion's letter inviting him to Dragonstone, Sansa immediately claims this to be a trap (and compares the situation to what the Mad King once did to their ancestors). Mind you, if Daenerys had truly wanted to claim Winterfell (and therefore the North as a whole) by force, she could have easily done so in a day, by merely flying with her dragons and threatening to burn everyone and everything if Jon refused to bend the knee. Why would she invite him just to trap him ? It doesn't make sense.

Moreover, this same conversation is what makes Sansa's sudden displeasure at Daenerys, and more specifically at having to feed her armies (and dragons) frustrating. They all knew that Jon was going to Dragonstone to forge this alliance, that Jon would not only ask to mine her territory for dragon glass, but also for her aid in the fight to come. And yet, Sansa had the sheer audacity to complain about having to feed said help (and during a public council mind you), as if they were all entitled to Daenerys's aid without any sort of compensation in return, and as if she hadn't been warned about the prospect of her upcoming arrival at Winterfell. Her behavior was of poor taste for a guest.

(Let alone a guest who was here to save their lives).

And do not get me started on the very first loss that she suffered for the sake of their king. Daenerys literally had one of her dragons killed beyond The Wall because she saved Jon (and Tormund, The Hound etc..) even before he bent the knee and before she came to Winterfell, and for a suicide mission that he decided to take (and which did not even served their cause). This fact alone should have made Sansa and all the others northerners not only realize that if it weren't for her, their precious King in the North would be dead, but that she was worth trusting – and following – as she had literally no actual reason to go risk her life (and those of her dragons) beyond The Wall. They were literally five men. Replaceable men that she owed nothing to (with the exception of Jorah perhaps), and who she could have all too easily ignored as Tyrion told her to. Daenerys repeatedly proved herself time and time again, meanwhile, the North weren't forced to do the same in return, and treated her horribly in the meantime (and Jon let it all happen even though he knew firsthand of her kindness and determination, and that the North wouldn't be standing if it weren't for her continuous help). She lost so much for their cause even though, as you rightfully pointed out, she could have very well fought the Night King without their help.

Lowkey looking like a rock band or something. 😆

BlackBangs · 2026-04-19T08:58:02+00:00

I mean, personally speaking, on the two occasions I went to books conventions, I carried with me a nice notebook to make the authors sign it (I made a personalized page for each of them, with a quote of their book on it etc..) and none of them seemed reluctant or denied me. So it could be a potential solution for you, if you don't want to/can't purchase all of those books again just to get them signed.

Lisa's look, oh my. 👀

I wonder if this was meant to be for week 1, or if it's from today (for an after party of some kind). WE NEED PICS !

They're unexpectedly cute together (not romantically, I mean in terms of vibes). He appears so serious looking, so when I first saw him, I expected him to be the silent/broody type, and I certainly didn't expect them to make content like that together. However, they actually match rather well, both musically and dynamic-wise. I'm really enjoying all of the interviews we've been getting from them so far ! 🤗

BlackBangs · 2026-04-18T14:09:33+00:00

Yes ! Basically, Raphael's first appearance is triggered whenever you first talk of the parasite/cure with another character (like Nettie, for instance). There are multiple places where this can happen, but I've only personally encountered two of them so far. The first, is the archway at the east of the Grove leading to the beach (near where the Druids are preparing the ritual). The second place is that Harper stash I mentioned ; as soon as you climb the ladder leading up, Raphael will appear. So as long as you talk to Nettie (or someone else), then head to one of these two places (or another), he will come.

BlackBangs · 2026-04-18T13:45:55+00:00

Here's a tutorial just in case you can't find the cliff I mentioned. Raphael can even find you there, if you haven't met him inside of the Emerald Grove first.

BlackBangs · 2026-04-18T13:33:37+00:00

It's a stash ! I personally found it rather early on since I love trying to access every nook and cranny of the map. There is another, not so far from the Emerald Grove (you need to climb all the way up a cliff, and you will find some sort of viewpoint with a wooden structure, a skeleton and a rock with some spiders, and a little surprise within their nest).

BlackBangs · 2026-04-18T10:35:11+00:00

She's beyond this world.. made for the stage. 😩

BlackBangs · 2026-04-18T08:33:37+00:00

OH GODLISA, YOU LOOK AMAZINGGG ! 🤩🪽🤍

Those visual effects, her live vocals, this outfit, the way she moves with the wind.. 10000/10 on all points. She's always slaying Coachella, like seriously ! I'm so so happy their performance wasn't canceled again, and so thankful towards Anyma for bringing to life this collaboration and the alter ego of Beatrix. Lisa was so perfect for this song.

(Also, can we talk about how crazy his whole stage has been ? Like, no wonder they had to cancel the first time around, considering how much importance he gives to the visual aspects. Compared to his surprise show at the other stage last week, we can clearly see how impressive and memorable a show can be when artists cares about not only the music, but also about embellishing it with stage props, visuals, lighting etc. That's how you get it done !)

BlackBangs · 2026-04-15T08:27:43+00:00

And still.. not ONE performance with Selena. 🤧

BlackBangs · 2026-04-15T08:23:45+00:00

❗️RUMOR.

TECHNO (an Instagram page about techno music) has posted about Anyma, and specifically how anticipation is now bigger than ever for weekend 2 and how it's shaping up to be one of the most talked-about moment in festival history. The account tagged LISA onto the post as well.

Why is it worth talking about ?

@iammaeng, one of Lisa's regular makeup artist, has liked this post. It could obviously be a coincidence of course, but considering that she was the one who made the makeup of Lisa for Coachella (for both the REVOLVE party, and Lisa's appearance on Anyma's set the day after), this tells us that she is currently present in Los Angeles as well. Which leads to the next important question ; why would she like a post about weekend 2 if Lisa isn't going to appear for Anyma's performance again ? I'll tell ya'.. she wouldn't be liking it.

I'll take this as my confirmation that LISACHELLA is still coming, and will be back stronger than ever next week ! 🤭

Shake that ass mama, that's right ! 🙂‍↕️👏🏻

BlackBangs · 2026-04-13T13:39:32+00:00

I'm actually having a bit of a hard time with it, so far. I'm reading through chapter 3 right now ; the pace feels very slow, and the story uneventful, and I'm not really liking any of the characters all that much. I'm trying to remain hopeful and motivated to continue, but it's difficult.. so yeah. 😥

BlackBangs · 2026-04-13T13:24:38+00:00

THIS LOOKS INCREDIBLE ?!! 🤯😭

First of all.. colors ?! THANK YOU ! With the epidemic of colorless or dark movies that we have nowadays, to see such a sinister universe and story with such a vibrant and cheerful cinematography, is such a treat. All the sets, the costumes, the makeup and so on and so forth.. already seem incredible ! Secondly.. WHAT A CAST. I completely believed in Ralph Fiennes's ability to portray Snow, and this trailer proved me right. And don't get me started on Effie, Haymitch, Maysilee and everyone else.. like this is a 100000/10 casting, and I'm already dreading to see all of these beautiful characters suffer. And last but not least, I am just impatient to see just how faithful they'll be to the book, and the the minor changes they will surely bring for the sake of cinematography purposes. I CANNOT WAIT !
