Nooooo not me single-handedly being the entire Tumblr Astromeda fandom ToT

[paper-pixies]

And some extras if you wanna answer more of them <3

6 for Astromeda, 1 for Blitzling, 73 for Kell-shali, and 48 for Apari

Me when I answer the second part of an ask months and months after you sent it <3

6. Who would ask the "would you love me if I were a worm?" question? How would their S/O answer? [Astromeda]

Astrid would ask it purely as a joke and, as much as Andromeda does have fun playing into Astrid’s bits sometimes, she’d respond with a completely genuine “Of course, always”. As much as it might be a silly question, she’s very serious about making sure her changeling wife knows that she loves her no matter what form she’s in or what she looks like. This would of course immediately be followed by Astrid repeatedly wild-shaping into a worm for hours on end for like a week just to mess with her. 

1. Who fell first? Who fell harder? [Blitzling]

I don’t know if the traditional idea of romantic love exactly fits what they have going on, but in terms of the feelings they do have, Aisling fell first and Blitz fell harder. Aisling might’ve taken an interest in Blitz early on as just a source of amusement but they definitely grew to have a genuine fondness for her, especially after realizing the two have very similar tendencies towards extreme and unprompted violence. Blitz mostly thought of Aisling as an interesting companion and fun bedmate until she realized that she was actually able to talk to them about some of the more fucked up parts of her history. And when Aisling manages to track down the people who made Blitz’s early life hell and burns them to death in front of her? Blitz falls real hard and real fast for this unhinged jester freak.

73. Who knows the other better? Why is this? [Kell-shali]

They both know each other extremely well of course, but I think Mata-shali probably beats Kell-ehir on that just slightly? Although actually, it might be more that they know each other better in different ways. Mata-shali tends to be more naturally in tune with others than her fiance in general and can instantly recognize any of Kell-ehir’s emotions– she’s more aware of his little tics and the subtle way his thoughts show even when he’s not saying them and doesn’t even really have to try to know what’s going on in his head. On the other hand, Kell-ehir is more actively observational. He might not be able to understand shifts in Shali’s facial expressions or body language as well, but he notices and remembers things like her favorite teas, her dancing quirks, what type of noise is harshest for her, etc better than she tends to for him.

48. If they ever had less than 5 mins to tell their S/O something before never seeing them again, what would they say? [Apari]

First off, absolutely fucked up question to ask for these three, my guys who canonically do get all the time they need to say everything important to each other before two of them die. But at least it means I’ve already thought about this in depth.

Opal - To Ace (assuming they’re not in the middle of one of their fights, which is a real possibility given how much these two love their drama) he’d want to thank them for dragging his ass out of Goldcrest even though he was a complete basket case, an addict who was so unwilling to change or believe anything could get better and fought Ace every step of the way. He’d tell them that as much as they piss him the fuck off sometimes, he sees exactly where their anger comes from and has never ever been afraid of it. He’d also probably toss in that he’s literally never had better sex with anyone else and Ace should charge more for their services. To Jabari I think he’d keep it short since the way that Jabari is so genuine and kind will never cease to freak him out just a little bit when things get sentimental. That being said, he’d thank him for keeping an eye on Ace during the years that Opal left them to their own devices. He’d also tell him that, even though he thinks Jabari is way too nice and it’s going to come back and fuck him at some point, he appreciates that Jabari’s grace and patience extended to him to the extent that it did.

Ace - To Opal he would have to make it so goddamn clear that he loves him and that even though they fight so so often that he never regretted their relationship or the fact that he had to take on a worse contract to buy Opal’s passage topside as well as his own. He would tell him how proud he is of all the progress Opal has made and how much he’s changed since they were both in Goldcrest. If he had time he’d absolutely tell him how grateful he is that Opal never permanently abandoned him despite the way that he’s seen (and been the target of) Ace’s angriest, nastiest, and most petty side very frequently. To Jabari I think they would say something with regard to how good and kind of a person he is and how it always amazed Ace, how it inspired them to keep doing good and keep softening the more destructive part of themself even during the times when they were doing very poorly and might otherwise have become extremely cynical towards the world.

Jabari - First, he’s by far the most sentimental and openly loving out of the three and I think that would really come out in a scenario like this. To Opal he’d admit that he had a difficult time getting along with him at first but that he’s so extremely glad that they were forced to continue spending time around each other (thank you, Ace) because Opal is deeply special to him. Similar to Ace, he’d mention how proud he is of Opal’s progress and that it brings him so much joy to have gotten to see and be a part of Opal eventually finding a genuine love of the life around him. To Ace he would thank for the way that they constantly pulled him into new experiences and adventures and opened his eyes to an entirely new aspect of the world. He’d apologize for all of the things they’ve had to go through in their lifetime and ask them to keep nurturing the part of themself that is kind and wants to fight for others.

Astromeda - I’ve Been You, Will You Hold Me?

(Modern Classical, Ambient, Orchestral)

A marvelous two-part concept album where love is his driving force, Conner Bailey's final release of 2022 is a massive and fantastic way to close things off. Its simple core ideas give way to some of his most effortless and heartfelt pieces to date, refusing to bend to the soft regality hanging over modern classical and instead stuffing as much emotion and color into every note.

☆☆☆☆☆

Conner Bailey's work has always been about feeling both tangible and intangible, but never has it been as clear as it is on I've Been You, Will You Hold Me?. His last two releases, Holding a Stranger's Hand and Boys At Our Gas Stations, hinted at this searing emotionality, particular the former with its pieces dedicated to his mother and the album's emphasis on innocence and compositional warmth, but Bailey goes even further back in his family history for I've Been You..., not only configuring and fine-tuning the pieces to the likings of his grandmother but deeply inspired by her marriage for a saccharinity and boldness that never overwhelms the senses. Its narrative finds itself in the wake of a married couple trying to find one another in their home - one of them blind, one of them deaf - but their romance and eternal devotion persisting nonetheless, the couple's sensory deprivation found not in the music itself but how it makes you feel - the tension certain pauses bring or a huge crescendo crashing down with the weight of a thousand tides all at once - and I've Been You... revels in Bailey's ability to hit so deep. Cut into three separate sides - the first for the wife, Luna; the second for the husband, Francesco; the third a final snapshot of their lives together - I've Been You... treats it story more like a sketch outline than strict boundaries, willing to jump out of them when the music calls for it but always aware of what each part of the album aims to do. Luna's side tends to be the more downcast one, opening with the absolutely perfect blinded. and its melodic motif that's carried all the way to the album's final moments, but glimpses of light shine through the jazz-inflected flute solo of Stealing Bottles or Everpure's huge string swells, even as highlights like the brooding Bleeding Tears and haunting Your Beautiful Face reach an area of mourning and hopelessness none of Bailey's albums have been willing to approach so tenderly until now, I've Been You... once again pushing him forward even when his masterful arrangements stick around like always. Francesco's side, on the other hand, is decidedly bright and robust: Angel Falls features angelic harp work and soft percussive touches, deafened. and The Walls Between Us play around with string trills to various effects, and even the lonely piano piece my theme for you. sneaks in some frail harmonies and light background noise to provide a sense of motion even in the album's stillest track. These emotional peaks and valleys are ones Bailey's traveled many times before, but the detail and precision he brings to these lush and dazzlingly layered pieces put I've Been You... in a place of eternality and pure creativity Bailey simply shines in. What sets I've Been You... apart from everything Bailey's done up until now is its ability to make the simplest ideas so beautifully bright: The album's concept is nothing crazier than a love story and the power of marriage, but every moment is so full of life it's impossible not to fall under Bailey's spell: Stealing Bottles' 6/8 groove is sprightly enough to contrast against the lively but mellowed out piano leads of Bleeding Tears a few songs after it, and his atmospheric moments are even better, the slow crawl of Your Wondrous Voice culminating in one huge and glorious final crescendo and my theme for you. the closest to ambient songcraft he gets on the entire album. It's not the high concept sci-fi of These Situations or Moonsea's heartbreak narrative, but it doesn't need to be because of how easily his music speaks for itself. You know every feeling in an instant, and Bailey never holds back in his pursuit of that emotional truth. And then there are the album's two final tracks and two of its longest, and they're easily some of Bailey's finest works to date and a perfect way to end out a perfect album. The first of them, the penultimate This Thing of Ours, sounds like an outtake from the Super Mario Galaxy soundtrack in the best way possible, kicking off with quaint piano before a forthright snare and bass drum create the foundation for the song moving forward, slowly adding more and more instrumentation and finding all sorts of new ways to ride to the finish line with so much intensity and power to it that it's almost too much to handle in its full nine minutes, so incredibly fit to soundtrack something so great and powerful it becomes inspiring in the raw way few pieces in any art form can even come close to. And then, in some sort of miracle, there's i will meet you again, in another life., shifting between its opening waltz section into gentle washes of ambient strings and percussion that give the piece's midsection a sense of inescapable restlessness, like every memory throwing itself at you and running off just before you can get a full glimpse at the feeling. From there, Bailey only has one place to return to: the opening melody of blinded., circling back to the beginning with a new sense of finality - I've not been so captivated by how an album falls into itself like I have with I've Been You... in a long time, and with musicality so strong and emotion so honest it's so easy to understand why. But for all its grandness, the album ends with nothing more than the quiet and tense pulse of a heartbeat, any embellishments that could hide inevitable demise in prior pieces now entirely gone as the music fades out to a lonely, lonely finish. What sticks with you, though, is everything that has led up to this point, all the love and excitement and surprise Bailey hit you with across I've Been You...'s spotless hour and thirteen minutes all culminating in the final moments of this heartbeat, Bailey letting you savor the bliss of the connection his music has made in the minute, ever-present sound of a heartbeat. You listen to I've Been You, Will You Hold Me? and everything is perfectly in place, not a moment without beauty and not a soul without nourishment.

"But Will didn’t want dishonestly between them, even lies of omission. He wanted a life with Lucas. This man was his and he wanted to be known. He wondered, briefly, if this was how Hannibal had felt. He smiled a little at how everything truly had come full circle"

All-time Hannibal extended universe recs

Will/Nigel from Charlie Countryman

Heart of Spades by WaffleBunny13

Summary: Will pauses when he sees the face of the man in front of him then the cup of coffee slips from his hand.

“N-Nigel?”

Hannibal's neck nearly snaps to look at Will with a frown on his face then the doppelganger, Nigel, steps forward to Will with a smirk on his face and his hands casually resting in his pockets.

“Hello, gorgeous”

Envy’s notes: Nigel and Hannibal are not related. Nigel shows up at a crime scene. Everyone thinks he’s Hannibal. Then Will and Hannibal arrive, Hannibal finds out his look-alike is Will’s ex from the time he was on a scholarship in Romania.

Unconventional Therapy by DarkmoonSigel, sku7314977

Summary: Upon noticing that Will has been having some difficulty separating his mind from the monsters he’s made to chase, Hannibal makes a rather unexpected suggestion for some uncommon therapy to help the empath unwind.

Envy’s notes: Hannibal suggests sex as a form of therapy thinking he could finally get close to Will. Will instead goes out and stumbles upon Hannibal’s brother Nigel, they proceed to fuck in Hannibal’s house which makes for an awkward morning after.

Behave by sourweather

Summary: Nigel and Hannibal are sharing their Omega. Taking Turns, so to speak. Today, Nigel is to accompany Will to a crime scene. Will isn't looking forward to it. He loves Nigel, but he doesn't exactly play well with others.

He's proven right to worry when Nigel makes a less than perfect first impression on Jack Crawford.

Envy’s notes: Protective!Nigel. Nigel defends Will from Jack the way I always wished Hannibal would have done in canon.

"Two women are dead," Jack says, growl distorting his usual voice.

"And Will is alive!" Nigel snarls in response. "You'd think keeping him that way might be more important to you, but here you are running him into the fuckin' ground."

Will/Clifford from Death Stranding

The Beauty of the Rain by EarthsickWithoutYou

Summary: Part one of my Deathgram AU -- in which Hannibal discovers that Will has taken a lover who resembles him strikingly, an ex from his past in New Orleans. A man named Clifford Unger who bears the weight of the world on his shoulders, riddled with self-doubt, regret, trauma and grief. But he considers it his mission in life beyond all else to cherish and protect Will Graham, the light of his life, his redeeming soulmate.

Now that he has Will back in his arms, Cliff won't let anyone hurt his boy, even a clever, scheming, crazy-shocked-jealous therapist/cannibal who has been playing with fire and may now pay the price.

Envy’s notes: Hannibal comes over unannounced and discovers Will has Clifford as his lover. Clifford finds out about Will being sick lately so he takes him straight to the hospital and later gets revenge on Hannibal because there’s no way the former doctor didn’t know about Will’s sickness.

Will/Lucas from Jagten|The Hunt

Organ by CarnivalMirai

Summary: A week after the funeral, Lucas gets a parcel from one W. Graham. At first, he thinks it’s a wrong delivery. But the parcel is addressed directly to him. So curiously, he opens it.

Inside the box is another box. This time, in the shape of a small house or kennel— it’s a build-a-bear bear. He pulls the box out to see a card slipped in the box, again, addressed to Lucas. So he opens it.

Dear Lucas, I’m sorry for the loss of your son. He saved my life. I thought maybe you’d enjoy his heart beat. I hope you enjoy the bear. Kindly yours, Will Graham

Envy’s notes: Very interesting concept, imagine falling in love with a man who carries your son’s heart. No Hannigram, though Hannibal is one of Will’s doctors.

Sanctuary by Astromeda, tinypurpleghost

Summary: In the aftermath of a plunge that claimed one monster but spared another, Will Graham seeks refuge in a small Danish town. There, he meets Lucas, a kindergarten teacher with a heart of gold, and the spark between them is immediate and undeniable. When Lucas is falsely accused of a heinous crime, the monster inside Will yearns for blood. Even as Will tries to support Lucas in the way he needs, he realizes that he will stop at nothing to protect what’s his.

Envy’s notes: A post-fall fic where Hannibal dies and Will survives. He moves to Denmark and falls in love with Lucas pre-movie. Then canon happens except Will will do anything to protect the man he loves (and their dogs). Will is still in contact with Jack and there’s a man in town who knows of Will’s past. Lucas eventually finds out and accepts Will’s darker side.

Prince Charmont/One Eye (Ella Enchanted|Valhalla Rising)

Perfect Stranger by victorine

Summary: Char doesn't know Frank. Frank doesn't know Char. So how the hell did they wind up hugging in the middle of a park at midnight on Valentine's Day? And what will Char do when he realises it's not actually his best friend Ella rubbing soothing circles into his back?

Envy’s notes: Prince Charming is upset and a stranger (though he doesn’t know it’s a stranger) comforts him.  Oh and it’s Valentine’s day.

Just look at his smile. ⬆ How can you not like that? Lucas is adorable. I only wish I could see the movie without having to pay extra for it, damn it Amazon.

Nigel makes smoking and cussing look attractive somehow.

Astromeda - Boys At Our Gas Stations

(Modern Classical, Ambient, Electronic)

Imbuing his compositions with gloomy electronic elements and a darker presence, Boys At Our Gas Stations is Conner Bailey's most unusual release as Astromeda yet. Though its new elements don't always play to the strengths of these melancholy classical pieces, the album's best moments are starlit.

☆☆☆☆

Part of what makes Conner Bailey's albums as Astromeda so special is their willingness to strive for highly ambitious concepts and figure out how to work them into his incredibly tender and unique blend of modern classical and electronica. Even as far back as 2021's This Is Not What You Do, his ornate classical compositions always came with a twist, be it some jazzy arrangement flairs or psychedelic drum 'n' bass, and each subsequent release has seen him taking that ethos a bit further, Boys At Our Gas Stations once again bringing a new flavor to Bailey's graceful modern classical with gloomy electronics and a darker presence, his moodiest and most confounding record yet. There's a lot new to love about it, but I'm reminded of the way I felt listening to This Is Not What You Do back in mid-2021, where its more disparate elements don't always make full contact even if all of Bailey's ideas are more than appreciable. At its core, Boys At Our Gas Stations is another Astromeda left turn, and that's always for the better. Split into three distinct acts, Boys At Our Gas Stations divides its goals up to give each concept the biggest space possible: Act I features the usual Astromeda fare in the dreamy chamber string highlight White Lies and romantic waltz of Stick By Me; Act II fully embraces the electronic side of things with the fluffy drumpad driving Moon forward and synthwave-laced Sun; Act III closes things with some of Bailey's most aching pieces to date in Home and To Be With Her Again, the former a spacious piece of elegant classical and the latter some of his loveliest use of ambient electronics ever in its icy yet heartbreaking second half. Though the sharp cutoffs between sounds means Boys At Our Gas Stations lacks the fullness and cohesion of Bailey's previous projects, it feels decidedly cinematic in a way the rounder Moonsea or family-driven Holding a Stranger's Hand simply couldn't be, each idea of Bailey's here fully explored as he aims to make each section a perfect encapsulation of his intentions at the time - the anxious pulse of Moon or sunkissed romance of Facelift - and for any of the album's faults, there's no denying how memorable he makes Boys At Our Gas Station's unorthodox classical structure. Some of the album's cogs don't move as smoothly as others, though, Boys At Our Gas Stations kept buoyed by its floaty electronic elements even when the music is begging to drown you in its depths. Most of this happens in the second act where those larger doses of downtempo and synthwave sneak their way in - this isn't a negative in itself, but the rest of his composition doesn't change along with it, Bailey's bright strings and soft wind orchestration sitting a tad awkward next to the crunchier digital bounce of Sun's plucky synths and Moon's soft drum programming - it's not a bad sound, but it lacks the seamlessness the atmospherics his compositions use to pull you in so deeply. It's not a surprise the album takes on this extra sheen with its narrative focused on a psychedelic exploration of space spurred on by the surprise magic of a local gas station, but the organic ways he approaches this same vastness on tracks like To Be With Her Again or White Lies evoke the same mood without the roughness the electronic/classical combinations create. On the whole, Boys At Our Gas Stations is another wonderful release from Bailey that again asserts his position as one of the strongest modern composers with a hunger and vibrance nobody else can come close to, his bewilderingly consistent output of gorgeous and spiritually nurturing classical music where his ability to express is only bound by how beautifully he can write each part ensuring every one of his releases is a delight to listen to, even if some moments don't land as maddeningly perfect as others. He knows what he wants to do, and no matter what the results of it are he's always willing to keep moving forward, the unique yet occasionally troubling new additions Boys At Our Gas Stations has to his sound a compelling take on his story-driven album structures nonetheless despite its few shortcomings along the way. Conner Bailey makes his music nothing if not transportive.
