WHAT HAPPENED TO ME IN DREAMS COME TO LIFE-

The ironic(?) thing is, I looked closest to the ‘Dreams Come to Life Animation’ version on Youtube-

[seluchiha]

match up trade for @sugutoad ✨

I ship you with… Daemon Targaryen

- Cocky, Arrogant, Charismatic… It’s definitely him. Daemon has a commanding presence and charisma, often described as the rogue prince, which could be very appealing to you

- Both Daemon and you share a fiery temper and passionate nature but in the different ways. Like fire and ice. Daemon is known for his strong emotions, his impulsivity, and his ability to get intensely angry. He isn’t afraid to speak his mind and is very direct, which aligns well with the your own blunt nature. You both are stubborn, and while this could lead to clashes, it could also create a mutual understanding and respect.

- Despite his rebellious nature, Daemon is fiercely loyal to those he loves. He would fit the need for someone’s who is attentive to their partner’s needs and willing to stand by them, particularly in difficult situations, showing you "the light at the end of the tunnel."

- Daemon is the perfect example of a “beautifully broken” character. His strength, both emotional and physical, would be grounding for someone like you who needs reassurance when feeling insecure or anxious. He’s morally complex, absolutely not kind or innocent, which could make you connect with him, try to “fix him”. Despite his wild side, has a fiercely protective nature toward those he loves.

🌹Ship Tropes🌹

"Enemies to Lovers"

Both have strong, stubborn personalities and blunt communication styles, which could initially cause friction. Your fiery temperaments and desire to be right could lead to heated arguments, creating tension and passion. Over time, however, this tension turns into mutual respect and attraction, with their intense emotions fueling a passionate romance. You’ll learn to appreciate each other’s strengths, and the initial conflict becomes the foundation of a deep, fiery bond

Beauty and the Beast" (Fixing the Broken Hero)

Daemon embodies the "beautifully broken" character archetype—charming but damaged. You are drawn to "fix" emotionally complex people, would see through Daemon’s tough exterior, recognizing his inner struggles and vulnerability.This dynamic creates a relationship based on emotional healing and growth.

Opposites Attract" (Fire vs.Ice)

While you share similarities in temper and passion, their fundamental outlooks on life are different. If you are more of a realist and overthinker, while Daemon is impulsive and reckless. This contrast creates an exciting dynamic where Daemon pulls you out of your comfort zone, encouraging you to be bolder and less anxious, while you can help Daemon reflect more on his actions and make better decisions. You’ll balance each other out, with your differences enhancing your connection.

I see you…in the HOUSE STARK🐺

- Like the Starks, you value privacy and tend to be more introverted, often appearing composed on the outside despite internal struggles.

- The sense of duty and being the eldest child (often parentified) mirrors the Stark family’s deep commitment to responsibility. The realism and directness, which can sometimes be perceived as cold or blunt, much like how your honesty is sometimes misunderstood. House Stark's blend of responsibility, duty, emotional depth, and intellectual strength fits well with this your personality profile.

[hotcat37]

I absolutely adore both your deaf!Jere and IKEA Jance stories so I'm sending 8, 11, 12, 15, 17, 20, 22, 36, 41, 44, 51, 55 and 60. You can do both for all or pick the pairing that you prefer for each number. Thank you 😊

OMG I'm so happy you like my fics so much!! 😭😭 I'll do deaf!Bojere first and later I'll post the IKEA Jance version too and tag you in it <3

8: what happens if one of them gets sick?

Like in that one chapter where Jere is sick, Bojan would be very attentive and provide a lot of comfort. He's a no nonsense kind of caretaker so if Jere wants something that's not good for him while he's sick, the answer is a simple no. He is very gentle tho and understands that being sick reminds Jere of unpleasant memories so he's extra sweet with his angel <3

Jere might panic a little if Bojan is the sick one but composes himself quickly and does his best to help his boyfriend feel better asap. He'd probably do a lot of Google searches and cook Bojan some soup :3 If Bojan struggles to rest, he'll stay with him and verbally speak to Bojan until he drifts off to sleep♡

11: do they try to hide their emotions if upset?

I actually don't think this couple in particular struggles with that. Bojan and Jere are both emotional and sensitive and communication is a big part of what makes their relationship work so well. They're each other's safe spaces and so I don't think they'd ever purposely try to hide how they feel from one another. If one of them does attempt to hide, though, I think the other would immediately notice and try to talk it out right away

12: do heated arguments happen often? How do they smooth things over?

In general, not really. They're both very in tune with the other's emotions so it's unlikely for big fights to happen between them. There could be arguments caused by smaller things tho. For example: Jere is prone to doing things kind of last minute or taking a long time to get ready while Bojan is often anxious about being on time for things and this might make them clash sometimes. However they can never really stay mad at each other for long, there's too much love between them for that.

To smooth things over after an argument, Bojan is the one to buy flowers and (attempt) to make dinner while Jere will verbally apologize and explain his reasoning for behaving a certain way/acknowledging when he was in the wrong

15: do they always say I love you before leaving?

It's not something they necessarily pay attention to. They always make sure to say goodbye but they tell each other I love you multiple times a day so it's not a thing they specifically say before going somewhere. Unless it's when one of them is going back home to their respective country, in that case there's always several love confessions before leaving :")

17: who's more likely to pull the other in by the waist and kiss them passionately?

Hmm I'd say Bojan. He's for sure the kind of guy to do silly romantic things like spin Jere around and dip him before kissing him. Especially after a drink or two, Bojan can get really passionate and if Jere is within grabbing range, trust that he WILL be grabbed (Jere quite enjoys it tho 🤭)

20: choose one song that perfectly describes their relationship

My Love Mine All Mine-Mitski <3

My baby, here on earth Showed me what my heart was worth🎶

22: what reminds them of each other?

Bojan: baby seals (because of Jere's voice) and the colors neon green and yellow are things he automatically associates with his angel Jere: roses (Bojan has kind of a thing with those flowers) and just hearing foreign languages in general because them taking the same class in uni is what brought them together <3

36: who's most likely to fire up the stove at 2AM because the other is hungry

Jere 100%. Bojan would try to be secretive about it and slip out of bed in search of food but once Jere notices and has his hearing aids in, one stomach growl from Bojan and it's over. Doesn't matter if it's the middle of the night, Jere will be making his man something to eat damn it!!

41: which one would take off their jacket and drape it over the other's shoulders?

Jere is more accustomed to the cold so it isn't uncommon for him to ditch his coat in favor of wrapping it around a shivering Bojan who once again miscalculated how cold it'd be lol If they're standing still they'll just share a jacket :3

44: who would dance in the kitchen making dinner?

Bojan is usually banned from the kitchen so he'll often just stand in the doorway like a lost dog while Jere sways and gets dinner ready. In moments like these Bojan would ask to do something simple like washing the lettuce but he really just wants to dance with Jere lmao

51: what's a non verbal way they say I love you?

Bojan is an acts of service kind of guy (getting breakfast ready while Jere sleeps, driving his angel around whenever he needs) while Jere is very physically affectionate and will shower Bojan with kisses and hugs. And because Bojan loves hearing his voice, he'll also just babble random stuff to make Bojč happy <3

55: do they like watching clouds or star gazing?

They're more into stargazing :P Both of them are pretty high energy so it's pretty likely that they'll end a night out by looking at the stars for another hour before heading back home

60: who pulls the other closer when they're sleeping?

Bojan <3 He can't control his cuteness aggression so if he wakes up in the middle of the night or early in the morning, and he sees Jere's sleepy face, he just has to pull him closer to his body for a hug💞

MY RORSONA — BEETHOVEN (yes. The composer.)

I got bored so have my RORsona info and shit cuz I love my silly lil German composer

Ludwig Van Beethoven

🎶 — Ludwig Van Beethoven was a deaf German composer from the late 1700s to the early 1800s. Beethoven isn't a participant in the Ragnarok, instead he's a spectator. Having a keen interest in the participants, especially the humanity side.

🎶 — He could manifest through his observations and recordings. Beethoven would be the one who documents the stories, struggles, and triumphs of the human participants, providing a unique perspective on the battle.

🎶 — His role as a spectator is elevated by his ability to understand and appreciate the emotions and motivations driving each participant. This make him a valuable commentator, offering insights that others may overlook. His observation also play a crucial role in shaping the narrative or influencing the decisions of other characters.

🎶 — He isn't a fond of interacting with other people, nevertheless the man would force himself to interact with the participants of the Ragnarok.... Out of curiosity... And great inspirations for his pieces!

Favorite stuff:

Mac and Cheese

Observing

Playing music

Dislikes / ABSOLUTELY HATES:

Villareal Household: Chapter 4, Part 7

Dealing with the addition of a baby can be challenging, twins even more so. Luna has been struggling but luckily she has a wife and in-laws who understand and are happy to help.

TW Deals with postpartum depression

I would consider apologising for the length of this chapter but, Devin's not wrong when she claims to be my first favourite. Plus I'm still not over infants adorableness. Anyway quick part to finish with family visits and library trips.

Friday! After some playing with blocks the boys are moved to the lounge where they smile, coo and babble to each other. Once Devin and Luna are ready for the day, Devin checks in.

Devin: how are we bambinos

Rilian: coo la ba

Alfred: *giggles*

Devin: Who wants to play peek-a-boo

Rilian: *sniffles*

Devin: Don't worry caro, I know you don't like it but your brother might

Alfred: *is worried*

Devin: Where is mama

Alfred: *concerned*

Devin: Here I am!

Alfred takes a few seconds to process what just happened. Upon reflection he enjoyed it, and Devin gets both a smile and a giggle.

Quick photoshoot. You can see here that the boys have their teeth coming in. It's good to take time to capture the memories while they're this tiny as they'll grow up soon enough.

Devin: Buongiorno pa

Aaron: What's this

Devin: Lu and I took some photos and thought you might like your copies in person

Aaron: You're right cara. Gosh they are getting big

Devin: Tell me about it, the downy haired days are over

Rilian: *fusses*

Devin: Hold on pa, just have to-

Aaron: Be a mama?

Luna: Thank you for coming to check on me yesterday

Calista: Not a problem

Luna: We thought you might like some photos

Calista: Of bambinos? Always

Alfred: *fusses*

Luna: Sorry about him

Calista: How are you today

Luna: Coping

Calista: One day it wont seem so hard

Luna: I hope so

Deanna: Which one is this

Devin: This piccolo is Rilian

Deanna: The cautious one, no wonder he looks freaked

Devin: Hey now caro, it's okay. This is your zia Deanna and she is very friendly

Deanna: Hey piccolo, can we be friends

Rilian: *giggles*

Devin: See, she's not scary is she? No she's not

Another reason we're in Willow Creek is that Luna needs to use an archive machine at the library for work. Devin has brought the mats for the boys and they begin playing. Suddenly Alfred feels confident and pushes himself up on all fours. He has unlocked the creep milestone!

Luna cheers Alfred on while Devin plays with Rilian before putting him on the mat. Once put down he immediately has a crisis. He loves being held and mama put him down, in a strange place to boot. It's not fair! He does manage to compose himself and have some playtime though.

Back home Joey pops around for a visit while Devin works with Rilian on tummy time.

Joey: Sup fam

Luna: Hey there

Alfred: bo la gan dua

Joey: What a wordsmith

Alfred: *smiles and stares*

Joey: Why is he looking at me like that

Luna: He does that, we have to try not take it personally

Joey: right

Devin: He's just a smiley boy, you know, when he's not bawling his eyes out

Joey: Of course sis

Devin: Oh! Rilian is doing it! Come on caro

Luna: Is that all fours

Joey: Looks like it

Devin: *proudly* Both our boys know how to creep

Luna: Should we babyproof the door yet

Devin: Maybe just the front one

Joey appreciation post! He cleaned up and brought the washing in! Brother of the year. Devin meanwhile had to nap in her room. While the lullabies station might lull infants to sleep it appears adults can't sleep with it going... Even though she likes lullaby music...

Devin: Who's ready for some more snacks

Rilian: *chuckles*

Luna: I'm in the middle of this lesson plan

Devin: Don't worry Lu, I got it

Luna: Thanks, eat up darlings

Devin: Let's try... whatever they've called these things

[All I can think is 🎶pop pop peanut butter butter pops, pop pop pop em in your mouth, POP🎶]

Alfred tucks in and smoshes his everywhere like normal. Rilian remains unsure.

Devin gets the boys to bed and Luna feels up to kissing them goodnight before heading to sleep herself. That's it for the Villareals at the moment, Devin is slowly gaining fame from her acting and Luna is working through her postpartum depression.

🇺🇸 Steve Hillier - 🎶 Musician's Blues

Steve Hillier is a veteran keyboard player, vocalist and songwriter from the United States. He started playing piano and composing music as a teenager growing up in Darien, Connecticut, and after 30 years as a sideman behind recording artists Bobby Stringer and Betty Padgett, he released his debut solo album in 2018. His songs, written during the past 50 years, include blues, jazz, funk, soul, pop, singer-songwriter, psychedelic and progressive rock. His main focus when writing songs, however, is always melody.

Steve’s most recent single, from his forthcoming EP “Wintertime”, was recorded using two outstanding musicians from the United Kingdom. Steve Giddings blues-drenched guitar soars on top of Glenn Welman’s thunderous drumming. Hillier’s keyboards and passionate vocals complete this powerhouse trio. The heartfelt lyrics, of a musician’s love and struggle to perfect his craft, inspired Leraynne S. to create the haunting cover art.

Steve Hillier is an artist with a focus on creating music that blurs the lines between various styles. From progressive rock to blues, jazz and psychedelic rock, he is always eager to explore new creative avenues and set the bar higher with top-level musicianship and quality production. His most recent release, ”Musician’s Blues,” is a perfect example. The single offers an insight into his diverse style and ability to combine different influences into a one-of-a-kind vision.

Confronting Silent Battles: A Journey to Inner Peace

Hey Tumblr world,

Ever been haunted by silent battles that refuse to stay silent? I've been dancing with mine, twirling through the days, pretending they're not there. But oh, the frustration when they cross your path, like ghosts refusing to be forgotten. 👻

I've mastered the art of ignoring, but let me tell you, it's a fragile dance. Each step feels like tiptoeing on shards of glass, avoiding the pain beneath the surface. It's a relentless struggle, and those battles, they're like persistent bullies, taunting you with memories you'd rather forget.

There are moments when I wish I could erase them from existence, just to escape the cruel grasp of those painful memories. To walk through life without the heavy burden they bring. But life doesn't come with an eraser, and the past, well, it has a way of sneaking up on you.

Yet, here's the twist in my story—a silver lining among the storm clouds. Through the tears and heartache, I've found strength. I've learned that facing those battles head-on is the key to unlocking a brighter future.

So, here's to the struggles that shape us and the battles that make us warriors. It may be a sad symphony for now, but I'm composing a melody of resilience. Join me, dear friends, as we turn our pain into power and rewrite the narrative of our lives. 🎶✨

[mysticsoldiersailorhylia]

🎶✨️when you get this, put 5 songs you actually listen to, then publish. Send this ask to 10 of your favorite followers (non-negotiable, positivity is cool)🎶✨️

Yep this is totally when I got this...😬 I listen to too much music and struggled with picking. So today I just wrote down the songs that vibed the most for me as I listened to my music on shuffle.

1. Cry Cry Cry by Scott Helman

Couldn't tell you when I found this song. I just like it. It vibes so well. His voice...the instruments...it's all so good.

2. My Baby's Got To Pay The Rent by The Deep Dark Woods

I found this song in one of my all-time favorite movies (and one of my comfort movies): Safe Haven. It's got this nice happy, chill vibe, and it holds a dear place in my heart because of that movie.

3. Lucy by Bryce Fox

Bryce Fox is *chefs kiss* and Lucy is one of my absolute favorites of his. It's great when I'm writing, it's great to vibe to in the car, it's just great :)

4. Heart's Content by Brandi Carlile

I listened to a lot of Brandi growing up and this has always been one of my faves of hers, but it got even better when it was also featured in Safe Haven, and in a very cute/important scene.

5. Nocturne #20 in c-sharp minor B.49 by Frédéric Chopin

This piece is on my list of pieces I want to learn. Chopin is one of my favorite composers and this piece...it's so beautiful and moving.

Tooniverse Music Leitmotifs! 🎶🎵

If my comic was an actual cartoon, the entire soundtrack would be composed on a Moog Synthesizer.

I’ve always loved Jean-Jacques Perrey’s work. It’s so weird and toony! Most of the Tooniverse’s music leitmotifs are inspired by his work.

Here is what would play for a specific character or situation…

🎼 Character Leitmotifs:

🖤 Ijinks H. Iwerx: Hectic Joker - Jean-Jacques Perrey & David Chazam

Her theme music would sound just as weird and awkward as she looks! Ijinks is a troublemaker who causes problems on purpose to mess with her toony creations!

❌⭕️ Jaycee Pawman: Kittens on the Moon - Jean-Jacques Perrey & Dana Countryman

Jaycee is childish, playful, skittish, and a little strange. Her imagination runs wild and she finds creative solutions to problems, or jumps to crazy conclusions.

🇨🇦 Cat Canada: Agent 29’s Escape - Jean-Jacques Perrey & Dana Countryman

Her leitmotif has a vintage superhero vibe to it. Perfect for springing into action!

👻 Wayne Gates: Funnygated - Jean-Jacques Perrey & Cosmic Pocket

Ghosts are often associated with the Theremin instrument, and Wayne is no exception. Wayne’s leitmotif is a synthesized Theremin-based melody that plays whenever he’s doing something awkward and nerdy or over-explaining something.

⭕️❌ Ella Pawman: Sentimental Trip - Jean-Jacques Perrey

Ella’s leitmotif would be something nostalgic and happy, but also sad and wistful. It would showcase her long life of accomplishments and struggles.

🐌 Dr. Hans Sans Panzer: Music of the Planets - Jean-Jacques Perrey

Dr. Hans Sans Panzer is a very intelligent, unhinged, revenge-driven mad scientist. He’s also a chronic insomniac and isolated in a underwater laboratory. Dr. HSP discovered the Tooniverse’s secrets through reality-defying physics and invented teleportation. A leitmotif like the one above showcases how his maniacal mind works!

🐝 Beeball: Waltzing the Weasel - Jean-Jacques Perrey

Beeball is a very dumb character, so he gets a very dumb “Pop Goes The Weasel” leitmotif! I can imagine a montage of him stupidly messing everything up, or explaining his flawed logic to someone while the above music plays.

🌲 Mayor River Moon Willows (and 🌻 Sierra): Edith Von Aachenburg - Jean-Jacques Perrey & Dana Countryman

It’s the perfect theme for being stuck with an airheaded hippie in a bureaucratic “city hall” environment!

💰 Hugh Forric: Clair de Lune - Claude Debussy

Hugh is associated with the classic piano piece “Clair De Lune”. His leitmotif would be a remix of various parts of the song to fit a situation. I can imagine this perfect, delicate song starting to hit sour notes whenever his ego is challenged.

💖 Diana Diamondhart: Sobre las Olas (“Over the Waves”) - Juventino Rosas

She’s associated with classical music, much like her ex-husband Hugh. This piece in particular is associated with both a delicate waltz, and a violent ocean surge. This showcases Diana’s two-faced personality.

🦌 John R. Deergutt: Electronic Can Can - Jean-Jacques Perrey & Gershon Kingsley

Here’s the leitmotif for Canvasville’s news anchor John R. Deergutt! Imagine a theme like this playing while shenanigans happen during a live broadcast!

🕵🏿 Tips Fedora: The Mysterious Mr. Him - Jean-Jacques Perrey & Dana Countryman

You can’t get more mysterious than being a literal shadow with eyes in a detective outfit! A theme like this would play whenever Tips is sleuthing or revealing confidential information to others.

🎼 Situational Leitmotifs:

😎 Cool montage: The Unidentified Flying Object (Remix) - Jean-Jacques Perrey and Gershon Kingsley

🫢 Gossip, misinformation, “game of telephone”, etc.: Gossipo Perpetuo - Jean-Jacques Perrey

Perhaps We Should Have Expected This Going to a Bar Called ‘The Bottomless Well’ Season 3, Episodes 6

💀 Call of Cthulhu: Haunted Hijinx Masterpost 💀 🎶 Call of Cthulhu Season Three Masterpost 🎶

Warning: This campaign is an edited version of Call of Cthulhu: Song and Dance scenario from the Tales of the Crescent City book. While a lot has been changed, there IS spoilers for it throughout these posts. 

Another summery!!! EVENTUALLY I WILL ALSO GET TO MY BACKLOG OF EVERYTHING ELSE I SWEAR but I'm excited to clear this one because DANG the art Shazz and I have been making for it is SO COOL.

ART CHANGES THIS SEASON!! @inkdemonapologist​ and I are collabing on all the art for these summery posts!! Shazz does lines, and I compose and colour the pieces.

So Sammy uhhh feels ink on the other side of a wall that Jack has noticed also has a hidden Yellow Sign carved into it. That’s fine, cool, cool, cool, cool…

Not really knowing what else to do about this revelation, and also not wanting to get caught snooping, the three end up in Y’s office to wait for him. Peter is also here by the way? But he's doing that astral projection trick, so only Jack can see him, which is not as helpful as Peter loses his mind about why are these three just walking into the DEN OF THE MAFIA?!?? A VERY ACTIVE MAFIA?? Jack struggles to find ways to communicate this to the others who are busy snooping and ends up just helping Peter a bit by turning some papers over for him. Meanwhile, Joey has found a hidden door of sorts, and is rather sure this hidden door and the wall out in the other room both lead to where the Ink is being kept.

But everyone quickly takes non-assuming positions of waiting like they’re supposed to as Y shows up with dinner. He’s happy to start trading information with Joey, and Joey easily gets into prattling on about himself while trying to draw out any information he can from Y. While there isn’t much spoken information, he is tall enough to sneakily get a peek at some mail Y is opening, including an address that a PI found to an apartment which was apparently once shared by all three of the girls.

But Y soon figures out his own information from Joey; he’s not useful and possibly a liability, so he invites the three to follow his musicians out of his office to go “show them something.” It’s kinda obvious where this is going, but Joey will try to talk his way out of it anyways. Peter is still losing his mind about how ridiculous this all is in the background of course.

While the crew is interested in seeing the back room, they’re not quite into the part where it’s behind a secret door that opens up into a very dark room that has yellow ink on the walls and some kind of ritual bed and y’kno the aggressive insistence on stepping inside just REALLY ISN’T OFFERING A HOMEY FEEL FOR SOME REASON!?!? A fight obviously ensues, where Jack and Sammy get tossed in and attempts are made to subdue them, including Sammy getting some nasty yellow inky claws in his arm?? And … while he’s not “reacting”*, that’s definitely Yellow ™ seeping in his wound from that!??!?! UHHH, (*”reacting” as in suddenly turning into a devote of the Masked Messenger with no sense of direction or chill)

He does feel it though when his back hits the ink on the opposite wall, but manages to hold it together and start trying to fight off the guys to at least clear a pathway for Jack to run. These scrawny musicians are apparently not as human as they seemed though. 

Joey is soon also grabbed, but seeing Sammy, the strongest of their ranks, already facing difficulties, easily figures out he is not going to be able to get away on physique alone. Instead he releases a burst of magic energy to burn his hands into the guy grabbing him, which happens to be Saxophone Dude that Sammy recognized, and does quite a number on him!

…

And then the room and the guy all start melting into yellow ink?? Saxophone is not pleased about it but instead of being horrified just smile and replies "Well, you're going to fit right in." The other musicians don't seem surprised; everyone else is UHHH NOT DEALING WITH IT AS WELL,

Meanwhile, with only the ability to fly through objects and people, Peter has tried to fly off and do literally ANYTHING that might be helpful more than hovering around as a ghost and watching Jack and his friends get killed. Henry, who has been stopped at the door for not being dressed well enough, notices him and manages to flag him down and have a chat in the back ally. Henry had shown up because he was worried about how late it was getting, so as soon as Peter confirmed trouble, he headed home to get properly prepared to attempt a rescue, including maybe wearing something that will get him past the door Linda please halp.

Between watching Joey cause some major supernatural damage with just his hands, and just how persistent Sammy is with getting him and Jack out of that room, the other musicians decide to shut the door for now. Separation is obviously the best way to pick them off… and while Joey isn’t pleased about it, he knows there’s no way he can take anyone alone. He can do more magic bursts, but only so many… So instead he uses just how powerful that one attack was to talk himself up, confidently walking out and leaving a threat of destruction in his wake. The sooner he finds Henry and gets Bendy, the quicker he can fulfill that promise.

Sammy attempts to bargain with those who are trying to tie him up, offering himself as sacrifice to letting Jack go. The guys seem… willing to hear this out, letting Sammy get tied up first before releasing his lyrist. But whether it’s due to being unable to abandon Sammy or just being terrified of what’s on the other side of the door, Jack ends up simply freezing in place, and ends up getting knocked out with Sammy. Saxophone rejoins the other musicians in the back and points out that he knows these two… and they are more useful than just being hostages.

Henry never ends up making his daring entrance to the club, as on his way over again he passes Joey Drew failing to start Jack’s car. Which is… probably a good thing, since Joey cannot drive. Henry drives them back to the studio, Joey updating him along the way with his plans. He’s going to do a rescue attempt as soon as they can… if they can turn around and just burst in again, nobody will be expecting it so soon.

And nobody will be expecting an ink demon.

Getting back to the studio, he makes a call to Peter to get his assistance with the plan; which takes a few rings, but he’s actually in his hotel room because OH YEAH, Peter can go ghost!! Peter knows where they are and their condition! (which he updates Joey with) and Peter can secretly keep an eye on them in the meanwhile!! He also lets Joey know there’s plans to transport them, which causes a new plan to form: - Peter will keep an eye on them until they’re transported to wherever they’re going to be held. - Peter will relay this information back and the boys will head to that spot immediately - This won't be expected, because how would they possibly be able to know the location? - They WILL bring home their boys. Peter hangs up and indeed manages to get back into ghost form and is ready to follow the moment they’re moved. (which, eventually they are loaded up into the back of a refrigeration truck and the driving starts.)

Henry has been updating Bendy and also feeding him mashed potatoes and donuts.

Joey has started working on his dream walking spell. He knows the boys are passed out right now, and he’s already used it once on Sammy. As much as he wants to talk with both of them, he’s not quite sure how much it might freak Jack out, and Sammy can pass along a message.

Of course, stepping into Sammy’s dream is literally a nightmare. But he’s able to make it, and has enough control of his own mind right now that he can reform the dream, shaping it back to something comforting… Keeping the horrifying songs away and replacing them with the same soft radio music that’s been playing in his office all this time. He lets Sammy know what the plan is, that Peter is with them and will keep track of them, to pass along the message to Jack, and that he WILL rescue them. Sammy… doesn’t deny this, but doesn’t sound too confident in it either, nursing his clawed arm, the yellow even managing to seep into the dream. Joey stays with him as long as he can, but eventually ends up leaving so he can prepare for the rescue and be ready when Peter makes the call. 

It’s going to be a long night.

Tomorrow .. Nov 1st .. along with the birthday of Ef Vaijayanti Ravindra Damle .. it is as well the birthday of Ef Vishan Lal , the flute player 🎶 .. love and wishes as ever from the entire Ef family .. ✨

Birthday - EF Vaijayanti Ravindra Damle .. Monday, November 1 .. wishes for the birthday of our Ef and the care for safety and protection .. 

Often the expression is used .. ‘the mind is fogged’ .. to indicate a mind that cannot think or operate clearly .. 

the mind then is fogged with emotions that do not exude a clear thought or operation .. 

in the profession they always say the ‘show must go on’ .. not without reason .. circumstances incidents events of discomfort happen around us that are in the show business, and we are ever in the throws of such conditions .. but when the creative strikes us in the face it takes away the will to be in the normal .. 

but we fight that .. and dress it up with the dark cloth of eventuality and trod along .. 

.. others not in the know of this or in its proximity often fail to understand .. but ‘understanding’ is a relative term .. it changes colour in its protection, chameleon like .. bringing either composed togetherness or a differentiated distance .. 

is distance really a reality in the world of the communication booming sound barrier  .. 

it took time earlier .. now time is subjective or objective .. is it in reality ? I wonder ..

there are far too many waves entering departing and causing surfs of lather .. a lather that is untenable and unfathomable .. 

and that is the destruction that we all face each moment .. 

for ..

so long as there is life there is struggle ..

take it , battle with it .. it shall ever demand attention ..

100 Song Challenge - Day Three  “A song that makes you cry.” 🎶🎶🎶 The Unified Field - IAMX “We are not in the dark / Our animal anger is eating our human hearts / How come everything hurts if nothing lasts? / I smile at the way everybody lives in the past / Just because I don't care / Doesn't mean I don't feel /Just because I don't feel / Doesn't mean I don't understand / We are one in the unified field  🎶🎶🎶 Okay so I’ve been listening to this non-stop ever since I stumbled upon it (and this band in general). But the music video accompanying it, really, really hit home very hard for me; because my sister is homeless, and struggling with addiction. And she’s also a composer, or she used to be, before she fell hard into drugs. So naturally, when I saw the man in the video, I saw her. She would do similar things he did. Meth-induced-psychosis is scary to observe. She was also heavily obsessed with the universe, and space, and ‘chaos theory’ and things like that. In one of her more sober moments, she told me that she was still connected to the creator no matter how sick she gets, and felt that at the end of the day; no matter how worthless people claim she is, she’s always part of the universe and she has her own ways of feeling connected to it. And that’s true for everyone, I think. Even after we’re dead. Energy goes somewhere.

More recently I’ve realized something, I don’t exactly *hate* Joey Drew.

However the reason for that I hate

( Mentions of toxic (work) relationship (I guess? I’m assuming it is toxic? ) below )

I didn’t hate him because I wanted his attention.

I needed his attention.

Its all because I was treated as a favorite, the attention given to me was because I was his favorite employee (at least seemingly)

However, in the end, that ended up being a terrible thing

(Somewhat vague because that’s all I fully know as of now)
