what hairstyles would modern tiana wear? she’d be so classy but effortless I just know it

Oh, I like this! I think she would wear out her natural hair and it would be something like these.

Like, I know Tiana always smells like Blue Magic and Naveen is obsessed with the smell.

g'day befitting!

i thought you would be the appropriate person to ask this question.. i want to make an edit to the song "what is this feeling" from wicked – specifically II centric but i don't know who i should use.. im not quite sure who would represent elphaba and who would be glinda

which is why i am here, in your inbox, asking you this very question.. who do you think is fitting?

– 🪦🐟

testmic next question /j

[quillkiller]

my anonymous opinion is that the way you write has like. ignited a certain way of being where i can see with my eyes closed. okay so i am not the most sober right now but i pinky promise this is real and true and you form words in a way that i just. it's like when you're in church and they're singing hymns and you don't know enough greek to actually know what is being said but by god you know what is being said. like the feeling is overwhelming and encompassing and drowning and there is no escape not ever. you can sever your soul from your body but you cannot escape the feeling. also i think of the quillkiller microfic you wrote a while ago like constantly lol

i barely even know what to say to this, this is the sweetest thing anyone has ever said to me.. i doubt my writing literally so much all the time, especially since english isn’t my first language, and it often keeps me from finishing any of my wips/is also why i don’t write as much anymore because im so deeeply convinced that im simply unable convey what it is i actually want to convey.. my guy thank you so much, this means an embarrassing amount to me and im feeling genuinely inspired to focus on my wips for the first time in like… months.. bro… thank you🤍🤍🤍

Top 5 Hadley songs!!!

HI YES. YES THANK YOU SM FOR ASKING THIS OMG.

This is gonna be hard because there's SO MANY SONGS that he's sung INCREDIBLY, but off the top of my head, in NO PARTICULAR ORDER:

1. Beyond the Door (from In-Between the Musical)

One of the first songs I listened to after POTO. When I tell you I all but SCREAMED when I first listened to this. THE ENDING PART SPECIFICALLY WHAT THE ACTUAL HECK, HADLEY 😭

2. All I Ask Of You (from The Phantom of the Opera)

Comfort song comfort song COMFORT SONG and also THE SCENE!?? This song is honestly what made me fall in love with Raoul 🥹 HIS VOICE IS FREAKING GORGEOUS HERE I CANNOT

3. Moving Too Fast (from The Last 5 Years)

THE ENERGY HE PUTS INTO THIS SONG PLEASE IT'S SO FUN AND HIS RANGE?? TERRIFIES ME ACTUALLY WTH. Like I love Jeremy Jordan's version obviously but I think I love Hadley's more (idk if I'm biased or what but I genuinely do. I feel like the energy and personality he puts into the song is just. Perfection. and so so FUN. he literally goes BLEUAAAGH at some point HAHAHA. PLUS THE ACCENT WHHDWHHDWHH).

4. Born to the Battle (from The Far Pavilions)

Okay because how does he DO THAT- the way he sustains that, I think, MIXED BELT?? OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT??? I COULD NEVER. Also the ACTING IN THIS SONG IS PHENOMENAL 😭 I don't even know the context of this song but I felt ALL the emotions wjfjwjrjwd

5. If I Only Had A Heart (from The Wizard of Oz

Unfortunately a lesser known performance of his, this is honestly genuinely one of my favorites of all time. He does the old-timey voice so WELL oh my GOODNESS. His VOICE. It's like BUTTER. MMMM. He does NOT need to make it sound that attractive 😭

BONUS:

Just Let Go (ANOTHER COMFORT SONG and also an original written by Hadley!! His voice is so soothing here I cannot 😭),

Again (CLASSIC HADLEY SONG. THE WAY HE SINGS "LEAVE HIM A NOTE, I'M SURE HE'LL UNDERSTAND" and "I LOVE YOU, STILL" 😭),

Drink With Me (from Les Miserables) (THAT BARITONE/BARITENOR VOICE?? HELLO?? MELTING),

Medicine Man (HE IMPROVISED THE VOICES OF ALL 4 CHARACTERS IN ONE TAKE EACH?!?????),

People Will Say We're In Love (he uses his old-timey voice again here MWAH, AND acts adorably nervous) (there's another version of this with his wife with clearer audio, but there's no video and I kind of like his performance here better),

and The Cold, Hard, Ground (from Treason: The Musical) (HE GOES FROM ONE OF THE LOWEST PARTS OF HIS RANGE TO THE HIGHEST IN THE SAME SONG?!? HOW IS THIS MAN HUMAN)

Send me Top Five Anythings and I'll answer! (or at least TRY TO WITHIN 5 LOL, OBVIOUSLY I FAILED THIS TIME)

[fairytail-whathesays]

Oh, I couldn't agree more with the PTSD. And the hyoer vigilance. I've been re-watching episodes 63 and 64, and there's something specific about the way he goes from having his "full" attention on Jellal to turning around to face Erza in a slip second when she moves twice.

And the concepts of love? I'm pretty sure he thought it was *normal*, the way Brain treated him. To be expected, love is conditional, your self worth tied to being able to earn it and vice versa. The kind of acceptance that, indeed, would take a long time to undo. As you said with the knives, the learnt sadism and giving back what was done to him... I don't even know if I'm repeating myself, I'm just amazed by the fact that not only do I agree with you, but your points make so much sense. At no point do I feel like saying "I respect that, but I have a fundamentally different view of this character". It makes me rethink his fight with Richard, too. Did he create a mirage of himself being defeated to lower Richard's guard and deliver a single hit instead of having to hurt him at length (which he's eager to do to Eve, Ren although he gets bored there, Jellal and Erza) or is it torture? Showing him that he's hurting his adoptive younger brother, in parallel to Richard's desire to find Wally? Although Richard was willing to fight, so...? Is it just trying to win the fight no matter what? He gets panicked in the middle of it, or shows an illusion of it, so is it really worth it, when it affects him like that? Should that part of the thrash can and call it a day, despite feeling like it's an important moment?

I had never thought about him wanting to hurt whoever he fancies. It's... Fitting. I had always approached it from the view that he half wants and half expects to be hurt, because that's likely the only love he's known, the only "love" he had for, give or take, eight years. Sure, it wasn't from a lover, but somehow that makes it worse. Considering we have no clue of his life prior to the tower and he never brings it further than to to say his name (which... Might not even be his birth name), I don't think he even remembers that.

THE PREDICTABILITY POINT. *insert the DiCaprio meme here*

*HOLY SHIT* "The subconscious message received from this is the one Midnight needs, which is that what he's been through is terrible (true and valid), but that he can get back up from it (also true and valid)." THIS. I had NEVER thought about that but WOAH.

Oh. That AU. That AU won't be just living rent free. It will be given its own mansion. Every coherent comment or feedback left me with that. You've given me so many thoughts, so many new things I want to explore.

... I got carried away again. Just one extra note on the way you deliver the core of just how resilient Laxus is, how capable of pushing against adversity and coming on top he, of embracing his scars he is. How he ends up actively choosing to pick the good things amidst the shitty ones.

Sorry for the long asks, I just want you to know that I love and appreciate the time and effort you put into this.

Nah, it's cool! Feedback like this is what fanfic authors dream of getting, lol.

I had watched the original anime while trying to get a better grip on Midnight's character. Sometimes an anime is really good at bringing out the spark in a manga that was missing in still black and white, and the Fairy Tail anime's first half was one of them. It's a shame they switched studios, because the 2014 anime just didn't hit the same. I can't think of a similar moment in the second anime like Midnight's appearance.

Like, he's genuinely chilling. His bored drawl, the unconcerned way he holds himself, the completely calm way he talks about how he wants to torment and hurt people. He's small and skinny and even looks pretty emo, so he shouldn't be that threatening, but the camera angles they use, the sound cues they use, it all works. They expand on his fight with Jellal, which in the manga is entirely offscreen. Watching him wordlessly and disaffectly fail to react to anything Jellal throws at him before smiling and putting him down with Spiral Pain? Cold as fuck. I tried to capture that.

Again, I'm really glad you enjoyed it! 💛🖤

hi sorry to spam your notifs but i just found your blog and i'm IN LOVE with your art!!!!! so many pieces i feel like i've seen in dreams- haunting, beautiful, captivating, inspiring a sense of awe and connection. i don't know how to put it into words better but there's a certain magnetism to your work and it feels a bit like the home i can't ever get back to but lingers in the back of my subconscious. thanks for doing what you do and for sharing it <3

This has sat in my ask box for so long because my instinctive reply to you saying you're in love with my art is just "yeah, well I'm in love with You!!!" Which, while that is my honest-to-who-I-am-irl reply. I'm gonna try and manage something less embarrassing.

Cj the X on YouTube has a video where he talks about signal words, those words you want to hear as an artist from your audience to know you're going in the direction you want to. And honestly, this ask is just all my signal words crammed into one incredibly touching message, like I actually just burst into tears when i got it bc i am a crybaby. And I've stared at this message as it's driven me to Plan More Pieces, Make More Art, and I really don't know what else to say other than thank you.

[bugsinthebayou]

For a while I thought the mechanisms were like this huge super well known band because of how much content of them you put on my dash.

Anyways everyone knows about the mechanisms is actually just a statistical error. Icarus Wolfwoodbignaturals who lives in a cave and listens to the mechanisms 24 hours every day is an outlier and should not have been counted

AHDJSHDJSBDBSBDJSBSH SO REAL

OHHHHHH THATS SO COOL!!!!!

[waytoobsessed]

the first memory of you that we can remember is seeing your art and going “woah… new inspiring art person found…”

g a sp

[tazmiilly]

There's no way to turn the joy your art has brought me into words, but thank you for all the ideas and the stories and the art and simply everything that you have shared with us. I've fallen asleep thinking of your art, it's so genuienly enjoyable and lovely. I hope today is easy for you.

oh gosh wow, thank you! This is such a generous comment, i really appreciate it! I feel like fair chunk of what I do is rough around the edges, but the lack of perfection is what gets the ideas out. at a downside of course.

However, its really heartwarming to me to hear that they can still be appreciated nonetheless! thank you again, and i hope your day is amazing <3

[limeade-l3sbian]

story time!!!!!!!! So I’m not a native speaker so I assumed that blowing raspberries was a euphemism for blowing on a clitoris during cunnilingus for a long time entirely based off of your energy and that it’s your user

Once again, we see an example of "i'm not a native speaker but (says/understands something infinitely better than what English could have said.)" 😭 I love this so much. And that the context clues only leant more into that being what it meant lmao

[lfthinker]

what's your favorite beverage alcoholic and or non alcoholic

I actually don’t drink, but when I do, it’s Smirnoff green apple vodka.

Non-alcoholic, Diet Pepsi is my drug of choice.

thinking about the expert masseuse Alfred hired for the family that is paid a small fortune annually to provide massage services and ignore so, so many things. No questions, no remarks, just quality service and an ironclad NDA that, if broken, would probably topple said masseuse’s entire family line.

Things Alfred is paying them to ignore, in no specific order:

Bruce’s spinal hardware courtesy of Bane :)

weird amounts of muscle on everyone, even the kids (despite them allegedly not working physical jobs)

scars

FRESH scars

the fact that every joint in Bruce’s body clicks when moved/manipulated at the tender age of 42

Olympic athlete level physiques

rotator cuff injuries across the whole family

scars that are definitely from bullets and/or acid splashes

old signs of what looks like torture (Bruce)

Dick’s entire left arm is basically screws and plates (he “fell really bad” once)

every single family member takes deep tissue massage with max pressure with 0 complaints

calluses

no really, the weirdest fucking calluses
