[Image Description: Two unfinished digital paintings / sketches of the hatchling and Hal from outer wilds. they are standing with their arms around each other and the hatchling has their head leaning on hal's shoulder as hal watches the supernova in the distance through the doorway of the museum. the first image is the scene viewed from behind with everything lit in bright blue with dark shadows. the second image shows hal's face looking in fear towards the light and is only partially colored, the rest sketched over a gray background.

Also sorry for Nowell Sing We Clear-posting straight through the month of December but I started listening to another of their albums for the first time in the like 15 years I've been listening to Best of (an album which was apparently my mom's old boss's Christmas present to them one year and which I found behind the couch in our CD stash sometime in middle school and promptly proceeded to torture everyone in a five-mile radius by listening to it fifty times every December thereafter) and the version of "The Derby Ram" on this new one still has the classic "Oh, the man that wrote this song, sir, he must be mighty rich / And the one who sings it now, sir, is a lying son of a [VERY LOUD HORN NOISES AND GENERAL COMMOTION]", but also the chorus on this one is "And indeed, my lads, it's true, my lads / I never was known to lie" LITERALLY DOUBLE DOWN WE GO HARD OR WE GO HOME

[thereareeyesinsidethetrees]

do you think jesse james by clay walker could be a stan song

[friarvelune]

Some day you will grow up and learn to lie / just like your daddy did when he told you no one ever really dies

I hope that I'm not there when you realize / that those with their nose in the air will never look you in the eye

(toe to toe, streetlight manifesto)

[Image description: two photos of the same drawing, the first one just the inked sketch and the second with color from colored pencils, of Lord Sterling Whitetower from Inn Between. He is a man with an athletic build, slightly pointed ears, medium brown skin, and short, curly, dark brown hair. He is wearing silver plate armor with a blue cloth wrap and a belt with a scabbard around his waist, and is holding a simple broadsword and a shield with the symbol of St. Cuthbert. His eyes are closed. The color drawing has a silver D&D dice on each corner of the page. End of image description.]

Unknown/Nth by Hozier reminds me of you talking about how Durge must feel betrayed by Gortash even if they can't fully remember why. Especially towards the ending.

The part "You called me angel for the first time, my heart leapt from me/ You smile now, I can see its pieces still stuck in your teeth/ And what's left of it, I listen to it tick/ Every tedious beat going unknown as any angel to me" reminds me of Durge saying "I seemed to have trusted you once before, and it ruined me". They know they trusted him once, and they know they feel like they shouldn't again, but the details are still unknown to them.

"Do you know, I could break beneath the weight/ Of the goodness, love, I still carry for you? That I'd walk so far just to take/ The injury of finally knowing you?" reminds me of Durge saying "for what it's worth, I think I always liked you too." They may still have feelings for him, they might want to remember the good times, but they can't anymore.

"It ain't the being alone (Sha la la)/ It ain't the empty home, baby (Sha la la)/ You know I'm good on my own (Sha la la)/ Sha la la, baby/ You know, it's more the being unknown" - The true tragedy of Durgetash isn't the betrayal, or the death, it's that the only one alive who could remember what they had never will...

"And there are some people, love, who are better unknown" ... and that in the long run, they're better off for it. At the end of the day Gortash was an awful, evil person, who's sole redeeming quality is that he was loved. But not anymore, and so he is best forgotten.

hey anon, you know it's illegal to bring a gun into my house and shoot me right in the heart, yeah? you're going to fucking jail for life now. i hope it was worth it.

Gonna try something stupid that will hopefully be funny.

I will take a few lines of dialogue from some of my fics and then Google translate these lines several times through different languages and then back to English.

Oh! I’m-a use Papago instead of Google translate because that returns comedy gold with just one translation. Imagine the word casserole that it will spit back after several translations.

I mean to say - enjoy the very very accurate translations below.

From Cuckoos and Crocodiles:

His door opened wide. - You know that? Cerebro put his head in the room and asked.

- Didn't you hear your heart beat? Seebeck turned around and crashed.

Eunji stared at him - "Yes," he said. But your door was open. His eyes fell on an object in Seebeck's hands. - Proteins?

From More Than Friends:

"I don't like coming here," complained AlDS. « I'm afraid of vibrations.”

Deuce saw him. "I love it"

He snored. "Of course I will.”

"What does that mean?”

In other words, the taste for friends is questionable.

"You're my friend," Deuce said.

From Totes Adorbs:

Mr. Liddle took the book with his other hand and shouted "You're angry", crossing the claws with Floyd in the form of half a box with one hand. "It's really annoying. It's annoying. I'm upset," he concluded.

Floyd, like Riddle Review, found the choice of words interesting. It doesn't start with an "i."

ok listen ive only listened to one album by them so maybe im not the most accurate source but i saw something one time that said that talkshow boy was like if lemon demon and jack stauber had a teenage boy but im inclined to disagree because i think its more like if cheekface and one trait danger had a teenage boy

[red-dyed-sarumane]

i have a new theory for aru sekai fans & by new i mean someone else might have caught on already but i havent seen it said SO. the rute furutewoa melody is in kyuuyaku, touhikou, & now kannagi (maybe elsewhere bc i havent been looking for this motif before i only realized it today really & i havent had time to go thru all the songs again yet) & we have kyuu (past), something in touhikou im too tired to remember currently but i remember calling something similar a while ago when someone asked if there was a timeline to this, and now kannagi that uses the older language so im willing to bet this motif is a way of saying the events in the song happened in the "past". whether thats actually Long Ago or just to say its not the current situation or just happened before the songs without it i cant say for sure but i think it makes sense given what we have now.

just like we have the nami no ne no motif that signals which characters still have their "self" if its in the song or lost it if its not.

i have to do some more digging of course but with what i know right now this makes the most sense to me

I've discovered that fake lyric videos on youtube are apparently a fucking thing now.

Often they're the only lyric video available for a song but they're set to some other music.

That's such horseshit. If I wanted the lyrics separate from the song I'd fucking web search them.
