Thanks @sunny374940! you already KNOW who it is

My dearest lad, hilariously also Rook Volkarin (neé Ingellvar).

Rules: If you're tagged, make a new post with links to music and/or lyrics describing the following…

Event that defines your character's past:

The War of the Banners is probaby the first major tramatic event, and for that I have Pale White Horse by the Oh Hellos.

Down they fell like the children of Eden Down they fell like the tower As the land relinquished her ghost Heed the sirens, take shelter, my lover Flee the fire that devours But the sight held me fixed Like a bayonet against my throat Neither plague or famine tempered my courage Nor did raids make me cower But his translucent skin Made me shiver deep within my bones

How your character sees themselves:

Shadow by Livingston.

One foot in the ground, one foot in the grave Don't you dare make a sound (Shh) Hear you from a mile away Run from the town, all you need is your name And the sweat on your brow And the blood running through your veins Don't think twice, you'll be dead in a second Turn your eyes from your hands to the heavens Kill your pride, turn your fear to a weapon

How others view them:

Metaphor by the Crane Wives.

I've gotten good at leaning on metaphors I've gotten good at living on someone else's page I cut my teeth on secondhand sentiments You can't trust a single thing I say (Ooh, ooh, ooh) (Ooh, ooh, ooh) I keep my closet free of skeletons 'Cause I'm much better at digging graves But I always dig up bones in your sympathy I can't trust a single thing you say

Their closest relationship (platonic or romantic):

With Emmrich Volkarin, Fair by 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 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"

A major fight scene:

Inkpot Gods by the Amazing Devil.

And I can hear him break And he doesn't understand And I wish that I could take his hand But where I'm going is for me and me alone And I can hear her sing If I don't make it back from where I've gone Just know I loved you all along If I don't make it back from where I've gone Just know I loved you all along

End Credit Song:

I'm a sucker for angst. In a Week by Hozier.

We lay here for years or for hours Thrown here or found, to freeze or to thaw So long, we'd become the flowers Two corpses we were, two corpses I saw And they'd find us in a week When the weather gets hot After the insects have made their claim I'd be home with you, I'd be home with you

That was fun. Your turn, @the-font-bandit @themontess @andthekitchensinkao3!

"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

[3rd-breakfast]

"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"

[eliyah7saints]

I NEED AN EDIT OF ODYSSEUS AND PENELOPE WITH FAIR BY THE AMAZING DEVIL!!!!

"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"

(...)

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

(...) "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"

[sulsulzukohere]

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

[folkpunkbumbercatch]

🎶 for pure self indulgence and kicks: Paul Reynolds ♡

OK LOOK LITERALLY ALL WE KNOW ABOUT HIM IS THAT HES IRISH AND A FATHER SO THIS IS SO MUCH BASED ON OUR HEADCANNONS

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

[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

[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")

[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

for the Horror and the Wild ask game - Fair with 1, 4, 6, and 8. :)

What was your first impression of this song (and has it changed)?

So this is actually the very first TAD song I ever listened to! The first time I listened to it I had this feeling of waiting for the other shoe to drop the whole time. I was waiting for it to turn, somehow, into like a breakup song, or a bereavement song, or something. Anything. I'd never listened to any other TAD and I had no idea what to expect. "Surely this can't just be a beautiful song about a woman this man loves," I thought. Sometimes I still get a little melancholy or bittersweet feeling listening to it although I can't point to what's producing it specifically. It's a beautiful song and I love it very much and also I'm very angry that Joey has a whole extra octave of range that I don't have and therefore have to switch registers all the time while I'm singing along.

4. What’s your favorite lyrical part of the song?

I CANNOT PICK JUST ONE. So first of all there's all this, like, amazing lyrical poetic stuff like "it's what my rotting bones will sing when the rest of me is dead" followed closely by the totally mundane and silly "he's got so much fucking hair" and I just think it's brilliant. I also love how sometimes lines rhyme in the middle of them instead of the end? Like this:

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

...which happens more than once.

"If you asked me I would lose it all, like petals in a storm" always makes me insane, the metaphor and the way he sings it both. And it's followed directly by "'Cause darling I was born to press my head between your shoulder blades at night when light is fading" which not ONLY rhymes in the middle (storm with born) but also it invented romance thanks. And then he gets called out for being a melodramatic theater kid a few lines later and the self-awareness of it all is so delicious.

Also I am never going to forgive Joey for making a "that's what she said" joke into something so infinitely tender, you can hear the fucking fond and loving smile in his voice.

6. What stories or characters (or even real people) are connected to this song in your mind?

The song is such a self-contained story I don't really imagine anyone else other than the people in the song. :)

8. Do you visualize any colors, images, or scenes when listening to this song?

This whole song feels rose-gold in my mind. I do always picture the scene in the last verse as two people dancing on a rooftop, with dinner for two laid out and fairy lights strung up like it's a 90s romcom.

[after-the-end-times]

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

[maddisandy]

to put in quote perspective to how much you're always on my mind, this life that we've created is inundated with the fated thought of you

being with you reminds me i love to be alive. thank you
