Hi Stamp!

For the ask game:

🥤 ⇢ recommend an author or fanfic you love   ❄️ ⇢ what's your dream theme/plot for a fic, and who would write it best? 🏜️ ⇢ what's your favourite type of comment to receive on your work?

Hi again Rae!!! This answer is very very late, but thank you so much for the ask 🥺💞

🥤 ⇢ recommend an author or fanfic you love  

IMPOSSIBLE QUESTION. But also a favorite. I shall choose 3 bc I can. buy back the secrets by sundiscus ( @vinelark ). TimKon fic feat. Identity Porn out the wazoo. I'm still obsessed with this one. It's so fricking good. It was the first fic we read in our book/fic club and y'all, let me tell you. We are still not okay. When chapter 6 drops all hell will break loose. A Premonition of Drift-Design by @shirokokuro. Amazing Tim & Bruce content. I first read this years ago when I first joined the fandom, and have been obsessed ever since. I reread it the other day for the memories and y'all. It is just as freaking good as I remember, if not better. The entire If That Happens, I'll Catch You and Secretary Tim (And Other Shenanigans) series are top notch tbh. Go read them rn, do it 🔫 And finally, a Malevolent fic bc this show is ruining my life [affectionate]. lacuna by @calamitxtum. I am 5 chapters in and have eaten my pillow. The mattress is next. I am so so so normal about these two. It doesn't help that Cal's writing is insanely good. NOMNOMNOM. The fic was completed the other day too so you can and should dive into it this instant. (Spoilers through ep 28 though). Go!!!

❄️ ⇢ what's your dream theme/plot for a fic, and who would write it best?

This was an impossible question to answer. I have been staring at this draft for 30 min. But I finally have an answer. I love the Hidden Injuries trope and have started reading more fics focusing on Bruce and Jason's relationship. And honestly, there is no one I trust more with this dynamic than lemongarden. They are the one who wrote Stargazer, and bro. Brooooooo. Holy shit. It is fucking incredible. I wish I could bottle their characterizations of Jason and Bruce in a bottle and study them for science. Stargazer is so incredible near and dear to my heart, I almost get emotional talking about it ahdjkhskjd. This sort of turned into another rec but you know what those are always great.

🏜️ ⇢ what's your favorite type of comment to receive on your work?

Honestly any kind of comment at all, like just a goofy smiley goes a long way. But comments that make me kick my feet are the keyboard smash, all capital letters, unhinged rambles - those fill me with immense joy. Also, the liveblog-esque comments are to die for. And the analytical, deep dive into the reader's own interpretation of events is so much fun to read. I know that these take time tho so I really don't expect people to do that (I once spent an hour on a comment. AN HOUR. It was 1384 words rip).

Thank you again for the ask, Rae! Ily :smek:

OMG OMG OMG

I ACTUALLY CANT RN LIKE *KEYBOARD SMASH*

So first things first - when wilhelm pulls simon in for the hug and its just so desperate and just- yes my heart collapsed

And then the august and sara situation - its just so messed up and i love it. Like august has done horrid things but sara just keeps on trying because shes so desperate for what she thinks itll give her. And the way all if these things august has done has driven him to do more things that can also never be truly repented for. And the way felice tries to tell her but sara is just too desperate to listen and act on it. And then the ending seen had my heart ngl

AND FELICE AND WILLE! i love them so much and my heart yearns for the pain and confort of them <3 just im so here for their relationship to develop and just- yes.

And ofc simon and wilhelm. Just i cant even word how happy the trailer made me. The distance thag will ultimately help them, the mutual pining, THE HUG, and just- everything.

And again with wilhelm - i cant even describe how much my hearts been pulled out of my chest- just the unfairness of it all 🥺

I have so many feelings that are being refused to be put into words lol but *keyboard smash* i actually cant rn

Oh also! The burning the picture was giving Kit vibes lol and im so here for it

Anyway! Have a nice day / night / trip to the moon or whatever! 😊

OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD YES I WATCHED IT THIS MORNING IN SCHOOL (I didn't even know it was happening when I tell my heart stopped) AND I WAS ABSOLUTELY FIGHTING THE URGE TO GO COMPLETELY FERAL BECAUSE AHSJWJHSJSBDHWHEHDJDHJWJW

Yes yes literally all the interactions between Simon and Wille, that hug fucking destroyed me so much emotion oh my god I just I can'tttttt aaaaaah

YES YES YES and the bit where August is like "there's something wrong with me" I want to feel sorry for him but also everything's just so fucked up and then Sara and Felice it's just all so complex and so well done like djdhsjlskejdbebe

FELICE AND WILLE YES THEIR FRIENDSHIP IS EVERYTHING TO ME I LOVE HER SO MUCH MY QUEEN

Literally the absolute emotion that I felt watching that, and that came across in the trailer, it's just so phenomenonally good like these people can act jesus christ

Omg and the bit that made me just want to absolutely sob is where he's getting pulled away from his desk in his room in hillerska and he's trying to hold on and you see his hands and his face and just dear god that scene in the show is going to absolutely destroy me I can already see it

Lmaooooo yes I am so excited to see Wille in his reputation era as well

Aah thank you! And you too!!

All my Devin Townsend Liveblogging in one post!

At least for the Ocean Machine set that I didn’t get to last time.

This is by far the best “Seventh Wave” has ever sounded live; it’s got the louder synths that I love being able to hear clearly, but Dev is already warmed up which makes this easily the best vocal performance of the song.

The intro to “Life” sounded like it was missing some mid-frequency goo in the intro, but either it was fixed in the chorus or the warmth in my heart made up for it. I’m also loving hearing Squid on bass really loud in the mix; so far he’s nailing it. I also have a hard time picking out distinct bass parts in a lot of rock/metal so this will be super helpful if I decide to learn Ocean Machine on the bass lol

I was going to say this was a fairly standard “Night” but on the last “honey I’m closer” section he actually did the higher vocals and it sounded super fresh to hear that live. I can’t remember if he’s done it in past performances, but I wasn’t expecting this one and was pleasantly surprised.

This would be my definitive version of “Hide Nowhere” if Dev’s voice had held up a little better during the choruses. I never realized just how high the vocals go without going into Dev’s usual shriek or falsetto. The atmosphere is a lot more dreamlike and mysterious in this version than in on the album though so I’ll still be listening to it a lot

I DIDN’T THINK I’D HEAR HEART BABY THIS CONCERT LMAO That aside I love acoustic versions of “Sister” because I can actually focus on the guitar melody woops

The chills from “3AM” are so intense holy shit

“Voices in the Fan” is absolutely perfect how??? I am predicting that the verses are the last super convincing rough vocals based on the YouTube videos of OM in London. They were super good here but I think they’re on the verge of going Super Grover during Death of Music. Makes sense with the cold weather. I’ll see if I’m wrong though.

Big shout out to  Mike St-Jean for the lights on “Greetings”. Song was good, nothing else really to report.

REEEGULAATOOOOOOR. I love Mike’s keyboards everywhere but the intro; I do agree they’re mixed a little loud and it feels like they’re missing notes or echo trails in the gaps. I did forget about this song in the harsh vocals notes from earlier and they sounded fantastic to me so here’s hoping. Also time to note I haven’t heard a single issue in the bass this entire time, good shit Squid!

Ooooooh “Funeral” shit’s about to get real. Dev is giving 1000% on these vocals oh my god. A geeky little note: I love how almost obtrusively loud the synths are during “I’m wide awake” bridge; it feels like Dev’s voice and the guitar are trying to break through this impenetrable wall of frustration and grief, which given the subject of the song is super fuckin poetic and I have only in the last year realized just how powerful and devastating “Funeral” is as a song.

So apparently I forgot half the songs on Ocean Machine when I started talking about harsh vocals, but I can hear Dev’s voice catching up with him on “Bastard”. There is a metric fuckton of subtlety in the clean parts that is blowing my mind though. The weird fall off he does with his voice at “nobody gives a fuck what you’ve got” is. Also the backing track and keys on this are chill-inducing, and the song writing is so fucking moody I love i-oh there’s the scream and he nailed it fuck yeah. The “Girl from Blue City” section has always been cool and a super nice contrast, but actually being able to hear the vocals well during it really helped me understand it...

...no talking during Death of Music. Except “Oh no oh no oh no oh no” sounded fuckin cool in stereo lmao

Holy shit what a song. I was worried about his voice the whole time and honestly I think his tooth-and-nail fight to the finish line made it so enthralling. Again super poetic for the Funeral-Bastard-Death trilogy to be focused so much on helplessness and self-struggle with his voice threatening to leave him at any second. I was caught up in every single syllable and despite having heard that song like 40 times I still felt the massive tension and release of the end chorus mmmmmmmmm

The scream. God what a performance, and god what an album. It’s super nice seeing Dev in such a pleasant mood after wrapping up too; after the other full-OM show (I think it was London?), and even in the middle of Funeral his psyche was smashed and you could tell he was reliving the torment that went into the album, and seeing him come out positive obviously isn’t as tragic and dramatic, but it’s so much more fulfilling. I might be having a couple emotions rn lmao
