What the actual fuck-

[nixnephili]

Thank you for 8k on Instagram ~

It took a bit for me to finally get it together, and the milestone was hit while I was in the depths of overworking, but THANK YOU.

Thank you very much for the support and for the patience you have with me...

Here's Dragon!Akutagawa and Tiger!Atsushi ~

I can only hope this little community surrounding Fyo!Atsushi grows more and more, and then, who knows how big this A.U. could get and the heights ut could reach...

THANK YOU FOR 8K on Instagram.

cw: incest/stepcest. left vague so dealer's choice. age gap. implied grooming. tobacco use. alcohol consumption. implied noncon. MDNI

never gonna get over dbf!nikolai being the bad influence uncle. he let you watch the worst scary movies before you were ready because he liked how you burrowed into his side and hid your face in his chest. he bought you all the clothes your dad, john, nixed for being too suggestive. he bought you a puppy one christmas because he decided your dad was just being a stickler.

not that john's much better, always spoiling you in different ways, recruiting his friend to help him gift you the milestone moments of your life because they just want to make sure you have a good time, doll. like when you wanted to try your daddy's cigars and made yourself sick inhaling like a fool and john just watched as his friend coaxed you to come sit on uncle nik's lap, malishka. open up, he'll teach you how. they're with you the first time you get drunk, too, feeding you vodka and bourbon from their own lips, teasing about which was better? like the cigar, you prefer when one follows the other, doesn't let you clear the taste between the two. when you tell them that they spoil you by putting on a show, uncle nik accepting your dad's offering and wincing at the mixed taste before feeding it to you. it's messier than the cigar, this game, but they generously keep you clean with rough tongues following the rivulets of liquor which spill down the cords of your neck and collect in the hollows of your throat. wouldn't want to waste anything. they tease you when the mix of strong liquors gets to you quickly, but they're sweet enough to hold your hair back for you later and they say that recovery is just as important to learn, muttering to you about pain meds and gatorade as they guide you to bed. they're so wise about stuff like that, always happy to share their experience with you.

in the morning, nik makes your breakfast just the way you like, the way only he ever could. it's always been your favorite meal and it's always a rare treat - one you don't intend to let your ringing headache or lingering nausea ruin.

the slickness between your thighs is harder to ignore though.

for #PL1 can you please do some jake seresin fluff with 15 18 👀💗 also congratulations on reaching the milestone!!!! u deserve it sm ♥️♥️

15 - “She’s/he’s not my boyfriend!”

18 - “I think it’s adorable how easily you blush.”

Okay what else do we need?” You asked your daughter as you strolled the isles of the grocery stores looking at your list as you both did this week's weekly shopping haul. 

“Aunty Nix said we need plums—“ Isabella reminded you politely as she held onto the side of the shopping cart. “And washing powder, because Rooster broke the glass jar, remember?” Neither of those items were on your list—but both items you needed. 

“Okay, you go get the plums for me and I’ll grab some ham for your sandwiches alright?” You watched as your seven year old nodded and let go for the shopping cart. “Okay, grab about eight? And watch out for bruises okay.” 

“I got it mum!” Izzy called out as you chuckled softly and watched her make her way through the fresh produce section as you strolled over towards the deli and took a number. 

You and your daughter had moved to Fightertown for a few months after you and your husband finally settled your divorce. You were still looking for a place to settle into so you were currently living with your half sister Natasha. From your mom's second marriage. Seems as though you were following in her footsteps when it came to love.

For a while it was just you and Izzy—but then you finally met the one and only Jake Hangman Seresin. To be quite honest Natasha was purposefully trying to keep you and Jake from meeting as long as she could. She knew once he’d met you it was game over, he’d weasel his way into your life on a more permanent basis eventually. 

And that’s exactly what Jake was trying to do. 

“Hi there Izzy girl.” Jake beamed as he ran into your daughter by the plums in the fresh produce section of the grocery store. “Stone fruit season is pretty good isn’t it?” 

“I guess, whatever the hell that means?” Izzy shrugged, focusing on picking out the best of the bunch. Jake just chuckled out his nose as he looked around, trying to see if he could spot you.

“Where’s your mum?” Jake asked as he picked up a quarter of a watermelon and placed it in his basket. Izzy just pointed in the general direction of the deli. Jake followed your daughter's trajectory and soon enough he felt the heat rising in the apples of his cheeks as he caught the sight of you. “Ah, hey—do me a favour will you and say this to your mum when you go over to her.” 

Jake crouched to whisper in your daughter's ear and she giggled. She knew you liked Jake and that Jake liked you. She saw the way he looked at you like you were some sort of goddess who walked amongst mere mortal beings. Bradley looked at her Aunty Nix the same way and they were engaged, surely it had to mean something right? 

Izzy knew that Jake really liked you because she couldn’t ever remember a time when she’d seen her dad look at you the way Jake does. 

“Child labour is a real thing you know.” Izzy sighed as she turned all her attention to Jake, he absolutely adored your daughter. She was so vibrant and witty and kept everyone around her on their toes. “What’s in it for me?” Izzy asked as she kept Jake's stare, just waiting for him to fold. 

“Five bucks—“ Izzy contemplated Jake's offer for a few seconds before she politely accepted the transaction. She could buy a few lollipops with five dollars. What a score. “Go.” Tussling Izzy’s hair, Jake grinned as she laughed organically. “Before I call child protective services on your mother for letting you out of her sight.”

Isabella took off without much to add with her bag of plums in her hand and a cheeky grin smeared across her face as she ran back toward where you’d just ordered two handfuls of shaved ham off the bone. 

“I'm back.” She exclaimed as she held up the bag of fruit. “I ran into your boyfriend too.” Izzy laughed as she watched your eyes widen in shock horror at what she’d just said. “He said to tell you that he thinks you’re really pretty mommy.” 

Looking around the fresh produce section, your eyes scanned every square foot before they landed on none other than Jake Seresin. Immediately you felt yourself getting hot with embarrassment, 

“He’s not my boyfriend honey.” You tried to play it cool as Jake made his way over, ever so casually placing a gentle kiss to the warmth of your cheek. It made you melt into a puddle at his forwardness. The feeling of Jake's large hand splayed across the small of your back made your heart do leaps inside your chest. “Hi Hangman—“ 

“Hi mama, fancy seeing you here on a Sunday morning?” Jake cooed, his signature smile plastered across his perfect face. You’d only just made it back to your sister’s place this morning before Izzy was waking up, you’d stayed the night at Jake’s after dinner at Alfonso’s diner. 

“Just doing the weekly shop—“ You replied as Izzy watched the two of you interact, watching a live story play out before her very eyes. “What about you, Flyboy?” 

“Same thing, maybe we could carpool next week? Save on gas?” Jake teased as he watched you try and calm down, still flustered to the highest heaven after your daughter had referred to Jake as your boyfriend. “Oh you should see your face Y/n, I think it’s adorable how easily you blush.”

Leah’s 4K celebration 🎊

[samobservessonic]

I can now say for sure that this is the final part of the biggest Sonic story in StC so far. Five parts is nothing to sniff at and everyone one has been an epic. This climax promises to go strong, with the threat of Metallix hanging over our heroes. Sonic learned at the end of the last issue that whatever he does in the past, it might not stop Metallix after all, yet still he has to take the Time Stone and go on blind faith alone

Anyone who’s played Sonic CD will be familiar with this mechanic. Although admittedly, I could rarely get it to work and have never managed to get the good ending myself lol…

Like in the game, after travelling back in time, Sonic needs to destroy these machines to create a good future. But there’s a few differences here for the sake of the story adaptation. The first being that the machine itself is growing into the Miracle Planet. I actually can’t remember if that was the case in the game or not, but it’s a cool addition either way and works with StC’s more brutal takes on the way Robotnik’s technology works. The second is that Sonic needs to go inside the machines to break them, which he can do by being shrunk down small. These two features had no connection to each other in the game, but I like that they’ve linked them here for a smoother story transition. And third…

…the machines are powered by the Time Stones, with removing them being what breaks the machine. It’s a neat way to work the Time Stones into the plot without including the special stages, which would’ve taken more time to establish Now that I think about it, the Time Stones replacing the star posts as Sonic’s method of travelling through time in the game is also good streamlining for the sake of the story

Also nixed from the story is the second machine you need to destroy, the Metal Sonic hologram, which in the game would make the small animals appear unafraid of Sonic once more. There’s really no need or extra time for that here, as Sonic warps back to face Metallix in the present day, just like he knows the past version of himself did before

Now Sonic is back here and after watching the scenes play out in the same way, we get to see what comes next. Except that he doesn’t know what’s coming next himself, as whatever he changed in the past hasn’t affected the future. But wait a moment…

…Oh come on, it wouldn’t be a dramatic reveal if the changes to the timeline happened instantly. With everything Robotnik built on the Miracle Planet (or infected it with?) now gone, no shrink ray means that Sonic is no longer small

Which also affects Metallix! Huh. I know Metallix comes back to StC in a big way (which again, mostly happened before my time), so I’m looking forward to seeing how that pans out. A lot more than our aromantic protagonist is looking forward to spending a month trapped with Amy, I reckon

And that wraps up our epic! I feel like I’ve said most of what I could already say to sum up while I was reading through - this story had the gravity that a Sonic CD adaptation deserved. It wasn’t afraid to change things up for the sake of adapting game mechanics into the comic more smoothly, but at the same time it really did show off a lot of what you could do in Sonic CD. It genuinely felt like this was a story written by someone who played and enjoyed Sonic CD and wanted to make a story out of it, as opposed to being a game tie-in that was mandated to be written

I suppose some could argue that the first two parts being about Captain Plunder could’ve been a separate story to the Sonic CD adaptation, but I am a Captain Plunder celebrater (which is a step up from being an apologist) and think that a big member of the StC rogues gallery deserved a big introduction, too

So yes, this feels like a big milestone in StC. We have two specials to cover before getting back to our next Sonic story in the main comic, but I’m sure that the momentum they’ve built up with this story arc will keep going after this short break Also, before I forget, I thought there was something to do with Porker Lewis on the Miracle Planet that happened in this arc, but either that happens in a different story or I'm just remembering it wrong. Just thought I'd say that, since I brought it up in one of the last issues

Help write Midnight Alley!

To celebrate a few milestones, including hitting 1,000 followers, a year of posting fic on Tumblr, and several fic anniversaries, I wanted to do something fun! And since Simulated got so many requests for part 2, I thought, “give the people what they want.” But…what do you want?

So for the next couple weeks, let’s outline Midnight Alley together!

I whipped up the premise of Midnight Alley on a whim for backstory, but if we’re going to explore more of Dieter and our F!Reader’s relationship on and off camera, I could use some help figuring out exactly what this show is about. That’s where all of you come in!

Send me any and all ideas, suggestions, requests and I’ll create the backstory, and some episode lineups, to continue this story. Examples could be:

Thematic:

Why is it called Midnight Alley?

What’s the theme song?

What kind of police procedural is it? (FBI, specialized department, hometown detectives)

Any big story arcs in past seasons?

Character:

Headcanons about Dieter’s character, past and present

Supporting characters - who does he work with? (faceclaims welcome!) How do they get along?

Ideas about how they’ll write our F!Reader character into the plot

Episodes:

Tropes you’d love to see (some examples here, but in a nutshell these are often-done episodes that you see across the genre)

Narrative arcs (or lack thereof)

Scene suggestions

Behind the Camera:

Ideas about their relationship off screen

How does their work come home (and vice versa)

Here is the canon so far:

Midnight Alley is a police procedural tv show that’s been going on for three seasons. Dieter has been a co-star for all three. He’s described as having “questionable character,” and being a “brooding morally gray detective.” The general aesthetic is more serious, but with the sort of quick-witted and sharp writing you see in long-running tv dramas. Think Criminal Minds or CSI (or for newer examples, The Sinner or Mindhunter).

Our F!Reader was brought on for a one night stand in a single episode ending with Dieter leaving the next morning, but he requested for her to become a semi-recurring love interest for his character. The writers for Midnight Alley had been trying to give him a love interest for a while, but he’d nixed all of their suggestions and guest stars until her. 

Her scene with Dieter is her first sex scene, but she’s acted on screen before. It’s not Dieter’s first time, so we can assume he’s had sex scenes in the show before. 

Dieter has offered to take her to dinner, but they have not actually seen each other outside of the show.

After March 15th, I’ll compile the suggestions and start to build the Midnight Alley canon, as well as flesh out some “episodes” for future stories. I’ll also share a special surprise in early April as a thank you to everyone who participated, so stay tuned! 

There may be requests and suggestions that jive with me more than others. If you send in something that isn’t used, or is tweaked to fit the narrative as a whole, please know that I appreciate and love all the creativity you send my way, and I’m aiming to use as much of it as possible to make this fun fandom-sourced show.

Thank you all for inspiring me, for being here for all the crazy little stories I share, and for encouraging me with your comments, reblogs, and follows. You all have given me so much joy, and I am endlessly grateful to you for bringing some extra sunshine into my life.

To many more stories! (and especially to the creation of this new one!)

Intro to: Phoenix

I mentioned that I was in the process of creating Emery's enemy/rival/frenemy for Dark Angel of the Bullet Club, and I was finally able to finish the profile and do a collage for her. These two... they're yin and yang, I swear. So, without further ado;

@moxxieswitchblade @summertimefun1982 @himbos-hotline @blxxckheart @pleasantpastels @regalbanshee

Potential Warnings: Mentions of terrible childhood? Foster care? Group Homes? Abandonment

(divider)

Name: Phoenix Grace Costanzo Nickname: Nix, Nixxie Born: May 25, 1991

From: Seaford, Delaware Heritage: Half American, Half Italian (Father: Stephano Costanzo / Mother: Sofia Van Laren)

Hair Color: Auburn Eye Color: Hazel Height: 5’4 Weight: 132 lbs

Small Bio: Sofia had taken a trip to Italy, provided by her job, to help make connections and strengthen current investors’ relationships with the company. There, she met Stephano, and it was a whirlwind relationship. Lasted only five weeks, and when she left, they opted to stay in touch. Two months after returning to the States, Sofia realized she was pregnant and, at the urging of her friend, told Stephano about the baby. He was happy, which surprised her. He obtained a five-year VISA and relocated to Delaware to be a part of both their lives and help raise the baby. Several times, he had asked Sofia to marry him, but each time she said no. Marriage was not something she wanted—ever. Neither were kids, so after Phoenix was born and without telling Stephano, she had her tubes tied. Eventually, Stephano grew tired of her being distant from him, refusing to marry him, and not wanting to be a family. Shortly after Phoenix’s 4th birthday, Stephano packed up and left, returning to Italy and putting his child in his past. It didn’t stop him from caring, though, as he would call and talk to Phoenix on the phone periodically, despite Sofia not wanting it to happen.

Some behavior issues started arising after Phoenix turned 12, and just before her 13th birthday, Sofia walked out and never returned home. By that time, though- Phoenix was used to it. She would cook, clean, and take care of herself anyway since Sofia was never home and never wanted to take care of Phoenix to begin with. A few months after she turned 13, with her mother having been gone for two months, Phoenix got into enough trouble that the cops were called, and she was escorted home. That’s when they realized there was no one there, no parent to take care of her. Sofia was gone, completely missing without a trace, and no father was listed on Phoenix’s birth certificate.

Police had no choice but to put her into foster care, but her behavior only worsened with threats of violence, suicidal thoughts/attempts, and serious mood outbursts. After nine failed fosters in barely a year’s time, the courts opted to put her in a Group Home instead. Her main issue with the foster families was that she didn’t want the pity, the false love, and didn’t believe that anyone could actually care about her- since her own family hadn’t. (Her father had also not contacted her in almost two years by now). Luckily, it was here that things seemed to turn around for Phoenix, as one of the ladies in the Home—Deidre Garret—seemed to be determined to help her, to break down her walls, and to get her to trust again. With some Anger Management lessons, Individual therapy, and behavior programs, Deidre was able to get Phoenix past her anxiety, lack of trust, distancing issues, social issues, and behavior issues. By the time she was 17, Phoenix was a normal teenage girl. Her grades in school had turned around, was on track to graduate high school, and she was getting in amazing athletic shape. To celebrate each victory and each milestone, Deidre took Phoenix to wrestling shows, both Indy and WWE ones, as she knew how much Phoenix liked wrestling.

And that’s where it all begins.

Robinson Rancheria Resort & Casino appoints Nix as first tribal female general manager

NICE, Calif. — A member of Robinson Rancheria Band of Pomo Indians who got her start at the tribe’s casino has been named the casino’s general manager, a milestone for the business.

Project Blog Post #2

Our device consists of various physical constraints that can be challenging as the device comes together. One of these is weight, the weight of the device is essential since it allows for comfortable portability, including movement when in use. The weight is desired to be within 52 grams, as previously stated, the movement while in use can’t be great in such a manner that it interferes with data point collection. Consequently, the material chosen to hold the device needs to be comfortable to wear for an extended amount of time as well as having good structure to ensure a good hold around the body. Lastly, aside from the weight, size matters just as much, once again to offer portability to the user and not become a physical obstacle when in use.

The Technical Analysis Plan is initiated with research. The first round of research is focused on identifying any gaps in knowledge, and/or finding a starting ground for the basic 4 components: the sensor, battery, software/data storage, and housing unit. As well as market research to further find a niche that needs to be filled and narrow the project scope. With this knowledge we will use the near peer devices (such as the scale, the Nix sensor, Whoop, and Garmin chest strap) to focus our research and benchmark our conceptual design. Using the gathered research the next step is identifying ways our combined knowledge base applies to each parameter specifically. That experience will be used to eliminate any non-viable options and hone in on the options that progress towards the solution of the problem.

With the research portion of our Technical Analysis Plan complete next is the pre-fabrication execution portion. In this step is where most of the mathematical and engineering analysis will occur as the previous research is validated. Key parameters that will allow us to move forward to a digital prototype are the size dimensions and total weight with all the research components, the optimal shape, orientation of the sensors, and the proper materials to prevent damage and inaccuracy caused by sweat. Only then can we start drafting prototypes, looking for new challenges and optimizing the design.The corresponding milestone of this will be the completion of CAD drawing prototypes of the physical components, completed code, and a diagram of the electrical component layout. 

Our potential project consists of 4 main parts, and so while analyzing the potential challenges we will be categorizing them accordingly. 

Sensor

For the sensor, a few of our concerns circulate around the accuracy of the sensor. One concern is the effect sweat will have on the data as the device will be worn during exercise. So finding a way in the design or through external factors to limit, if not eliminate the contact that the device has with sweat on the outside if the body is crucial.  Another challenge would be determining whether or not one sensor would be enough to obtain enough data points.

Battery

We want our design to be as lightweight as possible as it will increase the comfort for the wearer, so finding a battery that has a long life and light weight is important, also considering if we want to have a rechargeable one. Another consideration with the battery that is important is the corrosion resistance, what happens when the battery comes into contact with sweat, will damage the other components collecting data if so, how will we mitigate this. In conjunction with preventative measures, how we will prevent the battery from overheating and also damaging the components and causing discomfort to the wearer is of concern as well.

Software and Data Storage

Our biggest concern with software is securing the proper code, and also fine-tuning it with the wearer’s current body stats in order to isolate the water loss data. As for the hardware associated with the data collection, it all needs to be sweat-resistant and fit into the size constraints that we have specified.

The only challenges we foresee in the housing unit will be sealing it so no sweat gets into the components while it also holds the sensor securely in place and in contact with the skin.

Hi! Player here I have many characters so why don't I list some of them off before I continue on reposting or even posting. I do play with homebrew content and I play 5e. Also If someone could tell me how to make it so there is a certain point it cuts off and there is a read more button that would be really nice its a long wall of text so I'm putting a seperator in for anyone scrolling

Sai- the character I call my first character. High elf ranger 31 years old although because of the way she acts and thinks she should probably be at least 100 but I didn't know how the aging worked yet. She is a ranger/rouge entertainer. She is a beast master and her companion is a black panther named luna. She currently has a hellhound puppy named Char. She has a friend stormy who is a pitch black Pegasus.

Tana- druid tiefling. She is particular about what she eats and where it comes from when she eats meat or any product from animals she always has to know the source before hand and know that they are raised properly even though they are being raised for food or for their products. For example milk eggs etc.

Rowan- she is very much homebrew probably my first homebrew character. Her race is Half human half phantom, her class is Kitsune and her background is hunter. She currently has 6 tails all pure white along with her fox ears. She has a scar on her right shoulder and her phantom has a matching one. She has a pet fox named lily. She also has firefox although it is hard to describe what firefox is.

Nix- Changeling rouge, charlatan. She is a very famous assassin although only in one of her forms. A friend of hers found a changling child in an orphanage and wanted her to come talk to them. Of course nix went to talk with the child and after talking for a while promptly adopted them.

Julius: changeling rouge, no background. Five years old at least when they were adopted they were. They are training with their mom to become an assassin like her. Of course Nix isn't the happiest about it but Julius doesnt know that. Julius goes by they/them and was originally an npc. I don't think my DM (my mom) expected me/nix to adopt them. I do occasionally get their pronouns wrong even though they are now my character I am still getting used to those pronouns.

Quaf: aaracokra monk not much to say on her even though she is level 5 there isn't really much of note at least for me

Mulan: my actual first character a human fighter who I didnt have much fun playing and had her killed off to play Sai. Later on I felt bad and had her resurrected again not much of not to me for her.

Lilith of doubt: she is an absolute mess. She was part of a campaign that went by milestones. Disclaimer, I did not and still do not really know how to multiclass I went with classes that fit what she was going through that being said she is level 20 barbarian level 6 warlock level 4 bard and level 4 druid. She was tiefling although the way the dm described it when she found her family since she was born with her horns he may have just made her be a snow elf but he never told me to changer her sheet. She was true polymorphed into a ancheint blacksteal dragon and has reached godhood. She lives in her castle in avernus although since I left that campaign I'm not sure what the DM has done with her. For me she is still at the point I was last in control of her which is what I have told you all about. Oh and she is an outlander.

Rya: class knight of the Fey. Race fey mice. She is a wanderer. Her patron is Sai.

Ea: warlock tiefling assisted the king and his mom to their kingdom and hasnt gotten played to much since

Pumpkin: tiefling cleric saved Rowan from a necromancer that raised her the wrong way making her become half human half phantom and has been adventuring ever since

Ivory: 17 year old fallen human (its a homebrew race inspired by undertale) aura guardian (homebrew class I forget if its based on anything or I just liked it) lawful good surviver, she loves painting and doing art in general and had to run from her home because of a war, she is worried about her parents but for now she has found a family not only with the main ground but with a married couple who she views as her second parents. They have been teaching her (since she hasnt gone to school) and letting her use the paint supplies from the store and even selling the paintings with her permission of course and she gets some of the earnings. Ivory's soul type is kindness

Selene: serene (homebrew race) ranger doesn't talk often and instead uses her racial ability which is basically just message chaotic good sailor

Zoi: a druid satyr who is hopeful and peppy, and got traumatized on her first adventure (another player my brother had decided his edgy character, he wanted to test out having an edgy character, would put one of the enemies heads on a pike to warn others that there was danger and fresh out of the fey wild zoi did not respond well lol my poor girl)

Characters that havnt been used enough to have a lot of information or I just don't remember anything about their adventures

Harmony: beast twin (homebrew class) lopunny (homebrew race based on Pokemon) is bonded with peace (bonded is the best way I can think to put it rn) 3'6"

Peace: a golden tiger, harmony's best friend and bassically her steed as she can go 10ft more than harmony can

Syllin moonwhisper: ranger wood elf (I haven't used her in so so long), is in a relationship with rinn

Rinn bloodeyes: dark elf monk (made by an ex and I have taken Rinn in as mine since he no longer plays dnd with me, and syllin would be lonely without him) is in a relationship with syllin

Viola: ranger half orc

Yog: fighter tortle

Dimdash: cleric hill dwarf fiesty will kill you if you annoy her...most likely

Renanajj: pegasis night (homebrew) tiger folk (probably homebrew? Cant remember)

Layla grey: Dant (homebrew race based off something I dont remember rip) beast tamer (homebrew) has a wolf dont remember his name

Aurora: veria (homebrew race) golden eyes (homebrew class) I dont even remember making her or even ever playing her

Del: half elf rouge (not even finished)

SMALL ADDITION TO MY NEW YEARS RESOLUTION LIST

i neeeed to fix my record player and get back into silk screen printing! i have so many ideas for small runs of simple grungy shirt designs i can do at home. also i want to build up a music library with everything that moved me through the years. as i m posting on tumblr rn the foundation of that collection is pretty much the embodiment of my 2014 tumblr era ... which was ( to be fair ) a pretty defining time for me, too.

LANA DEL REY — BORN TO DIE, ULTRAVIOLENCE self explaining if you knew me for 5 minutes ...

HALSEY — BADLANDS, MANIC, NIGHTMARE i have tattoos for all of them, and manic was a surprise. i didn't like it at first and ended up calling it therapy in 2019, which might have been one of my worst years so far

THE BLACK KEYS — BROTHERS the first album i actively listened to and still one of my all time faves !!!! sinister kid for life

GREEN DAY — AMERICAN IDIOT THE BROADWAY RECORDING idk if or where to get this yet but i basically grew up on the green day albums the musical is made of and the first time ive seen billy joel armstrong live on stage! just holds a special place in my heart

TWENTY ONE PILOTS — TRENCH although i got into the band with blurryface, i ended up with trench on the loop! my best friend and i cried like babys at the concert

BON IVER — FOR EMMA, FOREVER AGO another one of my earliest favourites and it still gives me a very special, melancholic feeling

ARCTIC MONKEYS — AM blueprint and milestone for my style and music taste development?!

GORILLAZ — PLASTIC BEACH, DEMON DAYS also a very early found of mine and filled with so many bangers i hold close to my heart

AMY WHINEHOUSE — BACK TO BLACK not every song moved me as much as the other but it just feels right to have that one

OEL — ÜBER NACHT the first band my brother and i 110% agreed on and it will forever make me feel like home

WOODKID — THE GOLDEN AGE the golden age of my video game addiction indeed. i also started running with their songs.

ANNENMAYKANTEREIT — ALLES NIX KONKRETES a little cringe but it WAS the soundtrack to my sturm & drang times in cologne. oh my god is this a reckoning?!

MODERAT — III just. bliss.

FLORENCE + THE MACHINE — CEREMONIALS lungs was great but this was wicked, my guys. a must have for me.

FUNKADELIC — MAGGOT BRAIN i'm loosing my mind over this on a daily basis ngl

CHET BAKER — CHAT BAKER SINGS as i still feel like a jazz newbie, chat just kinda speaks to me?? the resemblence is also striking and idk sometimes it just feels like there's my past-me singing ...

SON LUX — BRIGHTER WOUNDS of ALL the great son lux songs and albums that accompanied me through the years, this strikes me the most!

MELANIE MARTINEZ — CRY BABY product of its time, adorable and important to me

THE NEIGHBOURHOOD — WIPED OUT! product of its time, adorable and important to me !!!

CRYSTAL CASTLES — (II) product of its time, adorable and important to me !!!!!!!!!!!

SIA — 1000 FORMS OF FEAR a surprisingly heavy influence when i dealt with my first experiences with substance abuse :") also cute lil wig cover

that might be it for now, and only should give you an idea of how im working on this. it almost feels like i'm building up my heritage of sorts. music gladly made it to one of the most important things in my life again and i finally want to give it the space and time and care that it deserves. so excuse me for being emo and absolutely unnecessarily explicit about my plans here. ITS CALLED MANIFESTING.

☈ ᴡᴇ ʙᴜɪʟᴛ ᴛʜɪs ᴛᴏᴡɴ ᴏɴ sʜᴀᴋʏ ɢʀᴏᴜɴᴅ

Easton Taylor Foster was born on March 14th in Estes Park, CO. She was the first born to high school seniors Tiffany and Lawrence who got pregnant the night of senior prom. Easton was a determined soul from the beginning, achieving milestones before the typically timeframe - she exceeded expectations. She never had a good relationship with her parents, as if there was resentment towards her for their early entrance into parenthood. For the longest time she did everything she could to impress them and gain their attention but seemingly always fell short. She was a charming child, knew how to make friends and had a handful of classmates who all became their own makeshift family throughout their school years.

At fifteen her parents had their second child, Warren, it was the first time Easton had seen real and raw emotion in her parents eyes. It was also the first time she felt love in her heart, she vowed to show up and love her brother without condition. A year after her brother was born their parents fell hard into alcoholism and would spend all of their time downing bottles of liquor and left Easton to fend for herself but also ensure Warren's safety.

☈ sᴏ ʜɪɢʜ ᴀʙᴏᴠᴇ, ɪ ғᴇᴇʟ ɪᴛ ᴄᴏᴍɪɴɢ ᴅᴏᴡɴ

Despite having a promising future, Easton's life was on a downward spiral - the mental, emotion, and physical abuse endured at home turned her into an impulsive and vengeful individual. There was only one person in the world she would give her life for and that was Warren, but she knew at some point she had to choose herself and her own sanity to survive and her parents had yet to cause harm to her little brother. At seventeen she made the decision to leave, saving any money she could while working at the local movie theatre she decided to backpack around the states.

Becoming a travel bartender who typically didn't stick around in town for long, she never allowed herself to connect with people on deep levels. She was smart, confident, resourceful, and knew the ropes of anything you threw her way. She thrived on moving around and never settling, the chaos and new adventure made her feel content. However, she never stopped thinking about Warren and if the town of Estes Park loved him just as much as she did and if he was happy. Every year when the clock struck midnight on June 17th, Easton would take a show of alcohol to begin her brothers birthday celebration.

☈ ɪ ᴄᴀɴ'ᴛ sᴀᴠᴇ ᴜs, ᴍʏ ᴀᴛʟᴀɴᴛɪs, ᴡᴇ ғᴀʟʟ

At twenty-two Easton received a 3 AM phone call from her best friend from her childhood that she still kept in touch with, her hometown had just been rocked with devastating news - a drunk driver ran off the mountain side and by the time rescue teams could locate the family they had succumbed to their injuries. Her parents and and her seven year old brother gone. It was the talk of the town, of course coming from a small town any devastation was quickly spread. Easton was notified to come and identify their bodies as she was the next of kin and surprisingly everything was left to her according to her parents wills.

---- more coming soon
