#'this life that we've created inundated with the fated thought of you'

[everythingisconfetti]

what is the best love song ever written and why is it Fair by The Amazing Devil?

[sporadicallynightmarishbees]

I can't be expected to be normal after hearing the words:

" 'I've seen enough,' he says, 'I know exactly what I want

And it's this life that we've created

Inundated with the fated thought of you

And if you asked me to, if you asked me, I would lose it all

Like petals in a storm

'Cause, darling, I was born to press my head between your shoulder blades, at night when light is fading

Just to let you know, I'm old, waylaid and feels like I am wading

Into carpet burns and carousels

Christ, you'll be the death of me' "

Like??? How am I supposed to exist after this ripped open my ribs and played them like a xylophone

[bishicat]

"I've seen enough, " he says, "I know exactly what I want And it's this life that we've created Inundated with the fated thought of you And if you asked me to, if you asked me, I would lose it all Like petals in a storm 'Cause, darling, I was born to press my head between your shoulder blades, at night when light is fading Just to let you know, I'm old, waylaid and feels like I am wading Into carpet burns and carousels Christ, you'll be the death of me" And calm throughout his melodrama She will turn and say, "Dear heart, it's me, it's me You don't need to pretend to be someone you're not"

👁️👄👁️ ok but do you guys hear the solavellan vision

"I've seen enough," he says, "I know exactly what I want, and it's this life that we've created, inundated with the fated thought of you." [fair // the amazing devil]

i commissioned the wonderful @rennybu to draw the proposal scene of my dnd character Iamek Molenda and his (now) fiancée Friyis Ajad - it took him ten years and some post-battle clarity to finally pop the question - and I'm so incredibly happy with this amazing piece

[a-field-of-dragonflowers]

I’ve found the perfect Tav x Human!Gale song, and I’ll stand by this until I die.

It's what my heart just yearns to say

In ways that can't be said

It's what my rotting bones will sing

When the rest of me is dead

It's what's engraved upon my heart

In letters deeply worn

Today, I somehow understand the reason I was born

'Cause outwardly he says, "I try so hard to make you laugh at me"

And she, she does, she laughs

As though she's not heard the joke ten thousand times before

And he adores her

He watches her get dressed as though she's hurtling through time

Oh, darling, please be mine

She promises to fight them all when it all becomes too much

And he, he curses at the world

For leaving him behind, and he's falling out of touch

And she is stronger than he's ever been, he knows

She brushes her hand through his hair

He's got so much fucking hair

And he holds her close, just to keep the world at bay

And when they're sure no one can hear them

She'll turn to him to say, she'll turn to him and say

"It's not fair, it's not fair how much I love you

It's not fair, 'cause you make me laugh

When I'm actually really fucking cross at you for something"

And he'll say

"Oh, how, oh, how unreasonable

How unreasonably in love I am with everything you do

I'll spend my days so close to you

'Cause if I'm standing here, maybe everyone will think I'm alright"

"I've seen enough, " he says, "I know exactly what I want

And it's this life that we've created

Inundated with the fated thought of you

And if you asked me to, if you asked me, I would lose it all

Like petals in a storm

'Cause, darling, I was born to press my head between your shoulder blades, at night when light is fading

Just to let you know, I'm old, waylaid and feels like I am wading

Into carpet burns and carousels

Christ, you'll be the death of me"

And calm throughout his melodrama

She will turn and say, "Dear heart, it's me, it's me

You don't need to pretend to be someone you're not

'Cause it's not like I've never heard you fart and snore

And for some godforsaken reason

I'm still here, love, like I've always been before"

And he'll say

"It's not fair, it's not fair how much I love you"

It's not fair, 'cause you make me weep

When I'm just tryna watch The Office with my yoghurt"

And she'll say

"Oh, how, oh, how unreasonable

How unreasonably in love I am with everything you do

I'll spend my days so close to you

'Cause if I'm standing here, maybe everyone will think I'm cool"

"How unfair, how unfair, " they'll sing

As they dance across the darling rooftop wreck

He'll trip, and she'll pretend not to have seen

Burying her head into his chest

And clinging to the moment, "Where have you been?"

She'll whisper, "I've waited, oh, so long for you to come"

And as the stars above them hum and hear them

He'll turn to her and say, "That's what she said"

"It's not fair, oh, it's not fair how much I love you

It's not fair, 'cause you make me ache, you bastard"

And he'll say

"Oh, how, oh, how unreasonable

How unreasonably in love I am with everything you do

I'll spend my days so close to you

'Cause if I'm stood here, then I'm stood here

And I'll stand here

I'll stand here with you"

[spilledbutter]

if we think of the three tad albums as a sequential story i am absolutely LIVING for the idea of them not being able to communicate properly in love run ("can't we just talk about this tomorrow" "i don't know how to reach you when you get like this" "not yet not yet not yet not yet") and progressing to loving dedication of both each other and themselves in the horror and the wild ("and she is stronger than he's ever been, he knows" "'cause you make me laugh when i'm actually really fucking cross at you for something" "how unreasonably in love i am with everything you do" "'i've seen enough," he says, "i know exactly what i want and it's this life that we've created, inundated with the fated thought of you'" "'you don't need to pretend to be someone you're not'" "by day, oh lord, three things i pray: that i might understand as best i can how bold i was, could be, will be, still am--by god, still am")

[margindoodles2407]

I just. Give me- let me just.

OKAY LET ME SCREAM PLEASE BECAUSE "FAIR" BY THE AMAZING DEVIL IS SUCH A HYRULE WARRIORS ZELINK SONG YOU DO NOT UNDERSTANDDDDDDDD-----

*unhinged rambling under the cut*

OKAY OKAY SO. JUST.

I have NOTHING to add to this because it's ALL THERE IN THE LYRICS so I'll just put the lines that stick out THE MOST to me and maybe you'll get an inkling of what I'm experiencing right now (hint: what im putting is 90% of the FREAKING SONG)

--------------

It's what my heart just yearns to say in ways that can't be said/It's what my rotting bones will sing when the rest of me is dead/It's what's engraved upon my heart in letters deeply worn/Today, I somehow understand the reason I was born

'Cause outwardly he says, "I try so hard to make you laugh at me"/And she, she does, she laughs/As though she's not heard the joke ten thousand times before/And he adores her

"It's not fair, it's not fair how much I love you/It's not fair, 'cause you make me laugh/When I'm actually really ******* cross at you for something" How unreasonably in love I am with everything you do 'Cause if I'm standing here, maybe everyone will think I'm alright"

"I've seen enough, " he says, "I know exactly what I want/And it's this life that we've created/Inundated with the fated thought of you/And if you asked me to, if you asked me, I would lose it all/Like petals in a storm

Hi! For the TAD ask game, #6?

For @soundsfaebutokay #6 - A song that reminds you of someone you lost

Fair

This part specifically:

It's not fair, it's not fair how much I love you.

It’s not fair, 'cause you make me laugh when I'm actually really fucking cross at you for something

reminds me of a guy I knew in college that I lost touch with a few years later.

From the moment I met him he could somehow always always tell what I was thinking, feeling and he could always make me feel better, lighter with just a quip or smile and it was near impossible for me stay annoyed at him, even when he deserved it.

From that first lecture we to together freshman year, he was one if my best friends.

We hung out together, he studied together, our friends became our friends, we could communicate with looks and head tilts.

Took me a few years, but I finally realized that we had been rather in love with each other.

Unfortunately, by then life had already led us away from each other. Pretty sure he'll always be my what could've been

And it's this life that we've created inundated with the fated thought of you

And if you asked me to, if you asked me, I would lose it all like petals in a storm

'Cause darling I was born to press my head between your shoulder blades at night when light is fading

[erobuck]

Oh my God the implications of Fair cause a Jayden listens to The Amazing Devil which is just hahxjusnaaysjmsiasbgdgx!!!!?????!!!!

But also it includes lines like

It's what my rotting bones will sing/When the rest of me is dead/It's what's engraved upon my heart/In letters deeply worn/Today, I somehow understand the reason I was born

And

"I've seen enough, " he says, "I know exactly what I want/And it's this life that we've created/Inundated with the fated thought of you/And if you asked me to, if you asked me, I would lose it all/Like petals in a storm//'Cause, darling, I was born to press my head between your shoulder blades, at night when light is fading

And fucking

"Oh, how, oh, how unreasonable/How unreasonably in love I am with everything you do/I'll spend my days so close to you/'Cause if I'm stood here, then I'm stood here/And I'll stand here/I'll stand here with you"

Someone please make a payneland edit to this song

I just saw that Jayden has Work Song by Hozier on his playlist for Charles, along with Fair my Amazing Devil and There Is A Light That Never Goes Out by the Smiths, and I just know that man is currently begging every Netflix executive and Dead Boy Detectives writer to let him kiss George on the mouth in the next season and I love him so much

[porciaenjoyer]

help girl!!!! i've seen enough, he says, i know exactly what i want and it's this life that we've created, inundated with the fated thought of you, and if you asked me to, if you asked me, i would lose it all like petals in a storm. cause darling, i was born to press my head between your shoulder blades at night when light is fading just to let you know i'm old, waylaid and feels like i am wading into carpet burns and carousels. christ, you'll be the death of me

[moorishflower]

it's been ages since I made a playlist for anything but this fic lives rent-free in my head and so here is a VERY short playlist for Giving Sanctuary by @avelera, it is a fic about grief, healing, and love.

if it's true (Anaïs Mitchell ft. Justin Vernon)

And the ones who speak the words Always say it is the last And no answer will be heard To the question no one asks So I ask you as a brother And I ask you as a friend And I ask you as a lover And I ask you once again Is it true what they say?

2. absolute lithops effect (The Mountain Goats)

After one blind season alone in here After one long, sweltering summer I, I'm going to find the exit And I will go to the house of a friend I know And I will let myself forget With a little water and a little bit of sunlight And a little bit of tender mercy, tender mercy

3. like real people do (Hozier)

I had a thought, dear However scary About that night The bugs and the dirt Why were you digging? What did you bury? Before those hands Pulled me from the earth? I will not ask you where you came from I will not ask you, neither should you Honey just put your sweet lips on my lips We should just kiss like real people do

4. 100 years (Florence + The Machine)

And then it's just too much, the streets, they still run with blood A hundred arms, a hundred years, you can always find me here And Lord, don't let it break this, let me hold it lightly Give me arms to pray with instead of ones that hold too tightly I let him sleep, and as he does My held breath fills the room with love It hurts in ways I can't describe My heart bends and breaks so many, many times And is born again with each sunrise And is born again with each sunrise

5. fair (The Amazing Devil)

"I've seen enough," he says, "I know exactly what I want And it's this life that we've created Inundated with the fated thought of you And if you asked me to, if you asked me, I would lose it all Like petals in a storm 'Cause darling I was born to press my head between your shoulder blades At night when light is fading Just to let you know I'm old, waylaid and feels like I am wading Into carpet burns and carousels, Christ you'll be the death of me." And he'll say "Oh, how, oh how unreasonable How unreasonably in love I am with everything you do I spend my days so close to you 'cause if I'm standing here, maybe everyone will think I'm alright."

[sassygwaine]

listening to "fair" by the amazing devil and thinking about altwss jsyk

--

"I've seen enough," he says, "I know exactly what I want

And it's this life that we've created

Inundated with the fated thought of you

And if you asked me to, if you asked me, I would lose it all

Like petals in a storm

'Cause darling I was born to press my head between your shoulder blades

At night when light is fading

Just to let you know I'm old, waylaid and feels like I am wading

Into carpet burns and carousels

Christ, you'll be the death of me"

And calm throughout his melodrama, she will turn and say

"Dear heart, it's me, it's me

You don't need to pretend to be someone you're not

'Cause it's not like I've never heard you fart and snore

And for some godforsaken reason

I'm still here, love, like I've always been before"

oh my

oh my….lord

[when-a-humble-bard]

It’s definition is “interrupted in conversation or detained”. As it appears in the song:

Verse 3]

"I've seen enough," he says, "I know exactly what I want

And it's this life that we've created

Inundated with the fated thought of you

And if you asked me to, if you asked me, I would lose it all

Like petals in a storm

'Cause darling I was born to press my head between your shoulder blades

At night when light is fading

Just to let you know I'm old, waylaid and feels like I am wading

I think it’s meant to suggest that the rest of his life has been willfully put on hold by this moment of pressing his head between her shoulderblades as the sun sets. But also, there may be other interpretations. That’s one thing I love most about TAD music.

what does "i'm waylaid" mean in fair?
