#⌐╦╦═─ ⋱ science and progress; do not speak as loud as my heart ⋰ ⦙ ( alex + nctwilliam )

It's an actual crime that no one has done Burakhovsky animatics to Coldplay's "Fix You" and "The Scientist" yet.

Swim | Terror

Summary: Daitokuji and Shin'Ichi go swimming in the ocean!

Word count: 237

Note: Selfshiptober day 8!

"Shin'Ichi, nya? Can I ask you a favor?" Shin'Ichi's eyes slowly fluttered open, looking at Daitokuji. "Yeah?" Daitokuji smiled. "I wanted to go swimming, but I couldn't bear the thought of going alone, nya! I wanted to know if you wanted to join me?" Shin'Ichi thought about it for a moment. His body might not be able to handle it, with how weak it was, but he spoke before processing this was a horrid idea. "Let's go."

Shin'Ichi got changed into a wetsuit, and Daitokuji changed into swim trunks, then head out to the ocean. Daitokuji was pretty fragile, himself, but was happily teaching Shin'Ichi how to swim. Shin'Ichi was catching some fish for Pharaoh, their cat, too... Just in case he needed more food... That's when he felt something brush against his ankle.

He yelped, clinging to Daitokuji, trying to float upwards so it would stop brushing against him. "What's wrong, nya?" "Something- Something brushed against me-" Shin'Ichi felt like he was going to have a heart attack. He was going to die then and there and Daitokuji was going to die with him. "Nya? There's some seaweed, b-" Promptly cutting himself off with a scream, for he, too felt something brush against him! They both scrambled out of the water, hearts racing, before starting to laugh. That was a silly thing to get so scared about, but they were both cowards, so it balances out...

FIC REC WEEK 22 – MCU

Wanderer by 51stCenturyFox

Pairing: Steve/Tony Rating: M Words: 1,676 Tags: Sleepwalking, Cuddling, First Kiss

Summary: Tony jerks away like he's awakened to find himself taunting an alligator with a raw chicken, and almost falls on the floor. "You sleepwalked," Steve says, stating the obvious,"into my bed."

Reasons why I love it: This one is hands down one of my favorite fluffy fics. Tony unconsciously seeking Steve out for cuddles is the cutest thing ever, and I love how Steve handles it without any judgement. This fic is wonderful, and if you haven't read it already, I highly recommend that you give it a shot!

L☆VE by copperbadge

Pairing: Steve/Tony Rating: M Words: 3,773 Tags: Sharing Clothes, Homophobia, Fluff

Summary: Steve's favorite shirt is at the center of a debate about masculinity, sexuality, and whether or not he did in fact steal it like a thief in the night from Tony.

Reasons why I love it: I love the whole format of this fic, the time jumps really elevate the plot here. Aside from the actual plot – which is amazing – the whole concept of Steve causing a major controversy just by wearing a shirt is hilarious and something I could totally see happening in modern times. I adore this fic, and I bet you will too, so please give it a shot!

When Our Day Comes by thepartyresponsible

Pairing: Steve/Tony Rating: M Words: 6,613 Tags: Touch-Starved, Friends With Benefits, Misunderstandings

Summary: “Damn, Rogers,” Tony says, “did Lady Liberty teach you to kiss like that?" Steve blinks at him. He’s always been distracting. He has always been the kind of beautiful that can break necks when he walks into a room. But this close, the view is downright devastating. Tony’s eyes drop to Steve’s mouth, red and wet, and he almost forgets how breathing works. “Well,” Steve says, after a beat, “she is French.”

Reasons why I love it: That entire final conversation is pure gold, oh my god. I love how they first fall into their friends with benefits thing, and the developing intimacy is a thing of beauty. This fic is both sweet and funny in turns, and I'd recommend it to anyone. It's amazing.

Another Thing Coming Undone by nightrider101

Pairing: Steve/Tony Rating: NR Words: 11,408 Tags: Pre-Slash, Sickfic, Hurt/Comfort

Summary: Written for the following prompt: After the Chitauri invasion, Tony gets sick but ignores it. So it gets worse. Somehow Steve ends up the first of the team to move into the tower. He notices something is wrong and ends up taking care of Tony after realizing there is no one else around to do it.

Reasons why I love it: The team banding together to take care of Tony is absolutely precious. And Tony being completely oblivious to just how much they care for him just makes it even better. I love all of the construction crew scenes, and that final dialogue makes me grin like an idiot every time. This fic is wonderful, and you should definitely read it!

Science and Progress (do not speak as loud as my heart) by sirona

Pairing: Steve/Tony Rating: M Words: 4,781 Tags: Super Soldier Serum, Super Smart Steve, Science is Sexy

Summary: Steve's body is not the only thing affected by the Super Soldier Serum.

Reasons why I love it: I love this concept so much! The way sirona explores how the serum improved Steve's cognitive abilities is so engaging, I'd read a billion more words in this universe. And Tony's reaction feels so true to who he is, it's amazing. I adore this fic, and if you haven't read it already, I hope you give it a shot!

[randomnonsensedragonage]

Been meaning to post about this for awhile, but now that DAV is just a week away I figured I'd better get on it

Here's the Solavellan playlist I created after finishing his romance a few weeks ago. It's called...

I finally romanced solas, and I have some feelings about it

Link: here

Tracks:

"ceilings," Lizzy McAlpine

But it's not real / and you don't exist / and I can't recall the last time I was kissed

2. "The Night We Met," Lord Huron

When the night was full of terror / and your eyes were filled with tears / when you had not touched me yet / Take me back to the night we met

3. "Lie to Girls," Sabrina Carpenter

You don't have / to lie to girls / If they like you, they'll just lie to themselves / Like you, they'll just lie to themselves

4. "Any Other World," Mika

'Cause it's all in the hands / of a bitter, bitter man / Say goodbye / to the world you thought you lived in

5. "illicit affairs," Taylor Swift

Don't call me "kid" / Don't call me "baby" / Look at this idiotic fool that you made me / You taught me a secret language / I can't speak with anyone else

6. "Little Lion Man," Mumford & Sons

Tremble for yourself, my man / You know that you have seen this all before / Tremble, little lion man / You'll never settle any of your scores

7. "Cry," Carly Rae Jepsen

I never really know when he'll be leaving / And even with hello, I hear goodbye / He always makes me cry, cry

8. "Save Your Tears," The Weeknd

I don't know why I run away / I make you cry when I run away

9. "Down Bad," Taylor Swift

Did you really beam me up / In a cloud of sparkling dust / Just to do experiments on / Tell me I was the chosen one / Show me that this world is bigger than us / Then sent me back where I came from

10. "Viva La Vida," Coldplay

It was a wicked and wild wind / blew down the doors to let me in / shattered windows and the sound of drums / people couldn't believe what I'd become

11. "What If I Love You," Gatlin

By now I should be OK / That's easy for you to say / What if I loved you? / What if I loved you way too much?

12. "The Scientist," Coldplay

I was just guessing / at numbers and figures / Pulling the puzzles apart / Questions of science, science and progress / Do not speak as loud as my heart

13. "imgonnagetyouback," Taylor Swift

Whether I'm gonna be your wife or / gonna smash up your bike / I haven't decided yet / But I'm gonna get you back

It's mostly based around sad/hurt feelings, so it seems best to share before DAV comes out and we find out what happens to them next. Who knows, maybe I'll do a B side depending on how things go lol

☆꧁✬◦°˚°◦. ♠ ♣ ♥ ♦ .◦°˚°◦✬꧂☆

♫♫♫♫♫ I was just guessing at numbers and figures Pulling the puzzles apart Questions of science, science and progress Do not speak as loud as my heart But tell me you love me, come back and haunt me Oh and I rush to the start Running in circles, chasing our tails Coming back as we are Nobody said it was easy Oh, it's such a shame for us to part Nobody said it was easy No one ever said it would be so hard I'm going back to the start ♫♫♫♫♫

Yet another old re-draw of an image I did 10 years ago but with a bit of a better concept to it. So the whole idea behind this scene is that at the ending where Val is supposed to face Akhet as her greatest challenge to keep her memories of this world. Akhet as her guardian still bitters over what the Pharaoh and his relatives have unleashed and done upon the world when creating the millennium items , so he was against Val being around them to begin with , but seeing how the only option upon 'saving the world' was put in their hands , he was patient for the time being until the deed was done and he would take her away from them. I have two separate "what if AUs" that occur , one is basically where she keeps her memories and returns home to her other dimension and the family she has in Barcelona and the second ending is where her memories and other's memories are completely wiped of her and her existence is completely forgotten. However there is still something that lingers to the back of Seto's mind , a memory of someone that is missing in his life but can't quite understand who it is so he keeps seeing visions of a person "he doesn't know." (Whit a little help of Kisara in her own way , she helps him search for her.) In the AU where Seto still remembers her I have changed the ending of DSOD of where instead of going back in the past , he goes in search for her realizing 'what he has lost' and wants to get it back. I always imply in my stories upon how their main purpose and idea is that they help one another to move on from their past and focus on the bright future ahead of them. Surely it takes a lot of time because the process is slow , but in the near future they just both let go of their past and focus on building a brighter future together. ❤️ It takes a lot for him to have this change of heart and give into his emotion once in his life , since knowing Kaiba he only goes mostly for logic and not emotion and heart. Their feelings for one another are displayed throughout their entire journey starting as enemies and ending as lovers. (I love this trope so much and it's so fun to write.) Besides he has Mokuba, Touma and even Karim to bonk him on the head to remind him that he is not some emotionless moron and that he has fallen for someone even if he would never admit it to himself .

Tell us your 3 fave OC ships and the song(s) or other media you associate with them. They can be your own OCs or the OCs of someone else (it's more fun if you include someone else!) Pass this on to 3 others (on or off anon) and let's keep the game going!

Okay, I'm going to mention three ships of my own, because even when I have some favorites from other simmers, I prefer to go with what I know best, which are the characters of my stories. Here are three of them, in no particular order, and making it clear they're not my only favorites, I have several more, but these are the ones who already have a theme song, in fact some even have two. 😋

Robin and Juliette. (Time Traveler).

1. Sleeping Satellite by Tasmin Archer 2. Science by Coldplay.

Sleeping Satellite in reference to what the Moon means for Robin's family, the sea and other important stuff in his and Juliette's life. The lines "are the seas still dry?", reminds me of Oasis Landing and the Barren Wasteland which, in my story, is where the sea was supposed to be. The lines "nobody said it was easy" and "nobody said it would be this hard", remind me of how difficult it has been for Robin and Juliette to go back together. "Questions of science, science and progress, do not speak as loud as my heart; but tell me you love me, come back and haunt me, oh, and I rush to the start!" I think the whole lyric itself describes the situation these two have been through, time jumps and all.

Tony and Cassandra. (Tony and Cassandra/Tony Langerak's World Adventures).

1. No Myth by Michael Penn. 2. This Love, by Maroon 5.

No Myth always makes me think of Tony and his World Adventures, also the lines "we say goodbye before hello, my secret she will never know", remind me of how Cassandra hated Tony so much before falling in love with him, and how Tony conquered her thanks to a wish he made to the lamp of the genie who was his assistant at that time, lol. (Later Cassandra fell in love with him for real). This Love is more like Tony's chaotic love life theme and also the song he most likes to play on the drums.

Dale and Kelly. They only have one theme song so far, it's Superstar by Jamelia.

"I don't know what it is, that makes me feel like this. I don't know who you are, but you must be some kind of superstar, cause you got all eyes on you no matter where you are". The song is self-explanatory, it makes me think of how crazy these two are about each other, and how attractive the two are to one another and to other people. ❤️ I must add this is one of my favorite songs ever. 🥰

There, I hope I got this right, sorry if it turned out too long, I tried to be brief this time, I swear! Sorry as well if the YouTube videos have ads, I don't know yet how to do the Spotify thingy. Thank you so much @changingplumbob for the ask! 🤗💗

Thank you for loving me * For being my eyes * When I couldn't see * For parting my lips * When I couldn't breathe * Thank you for loving me

Swan dive down eleven stories high * Hold your breath until you see the light * You can sink to the bottom of the sea * Just don't go without me

Always On My Mind (Willie Nelson)

And maybe I didn't treat you * Quite as good as I should have * If I made you feel second best * Girl I'm sorry I was blind * You were always on my mind

That's As Close As I'll Get To Loving You (Aaron Tippin)

I won't be there when you need holding * But I'm sure that he can pull you through * But I can sing this song to everybody * And pretend it's not about you

The Scientist (Coldplay)

I was just guessing * At numbers and figures * Pulling the puzzles apart * Questions of science * Science and progress * Do not speak as loud as my heart

You Don't Know Me (Alison Krauss)

You give your hand to me * And then you say hello * And I can hardly speak * My heart is beating so * And anyone could tell * You think you know me well * But you don't know me

She's Got a Way (Billy Joel)

She's got a way about her * I don't know what it is * But I know that I can't live without her * She's got a way of pleasing * I don't know what it is * But there doesn't have to be a reason anyway

Sally's Song (Amy Lee)

What will become of my dear friend? * Where will his actions lead us then? * Although I'd like to join the crowd * In their enthusiastic cloud * Try as I may, it doesn't last * And will we ever end up together?

[norinenglish]

The Scientist by Coldplay is SUCH a Rancher Song. Like, all of it. From their first meeting - tell you i'm sorry - to "it's over. go home" - it would be such a shame for us to part | oh take me back to the start - and everything in between. It is now living in my head rent free.

I've put the the lyrics under the cut if you want to check them out.

Come up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry You don't know how lovely you are I had to find you, tell you I need you Tell you I set you apart

Tell me your secrets and ask me your questions Oh, let's go back to the start Running in circles, coming up tails Heads on a science apart

Nobody said it was easy It's such a shame for us to part Nobody said it was easy No one ever said it would be this hard Oh, take me back to the start

I was just guessing at numbers and figures Pulling the puzzles apart Questions of science, science and progress Do not speak as loud as my heart But tell me you love me, come back and haunt me Oh and I rush to the start

Running in circles, chasing our tails Coming back as we are

Nobody said it was easy Oh, it's such a shame for us to part Nobody said it was easy No one ever said it would be so hard I'm going back to the start

[blazethecheeto]

What songs remind you of felicity smoak? if you don’t mind me asking.

OFC I DON'T MIND YOU ASKING

1. Soap - Melanie Martinez

this is kinda obvious because like hello it's basically her rambling and saying stuff she did not want to come out of her mouth-

Uh-oh, there it goes I said too much, it overflowed Why do I always spill?

-

2. Mean - Taylor Swift

this is such a felicity song, especially with her backstory (that we needed more of).

Someday, I'll be living in a big old city And all you're ever gonna be is mean

-

3. The Scientist - Coldplay

again, even though she's technically not a scientist, this song has her vibes written all over it.

I was just guessing at numbers and figures Pulling the puzzles apart Questions of science, science and progress Do not speak as loud as my heart

-

4. Prom Queen - Beach Bunny

i'm now seeing the arrowverse playlists are filled with my old music taste it's really humbling- anyways THIS SONG SOUNDS LIKE HER??

Dissect my insecurities I'm a defect, surgical project

-

5. I Just Died - FIZZ

this song's so awkward (in a good way) and catchy, i feel like it's very felicity coded.

I was thinking you'd say "What a move! You're such a dream! Spontaneity, you spicy queen!
