1954

I have been delving into the musical past of different countries lately and was delighted when I heard Chang Loo (Zhang Lu) a pioneer in Chinese pop (beginning in the 40's).

After yesterday's quadruple dose of Moliendo Café, here's a triple dose of Sixteen Tons!

While exploring through @beatgoeson's audio archive, I found this fantastic brazilian cover by Noriel Vilela. 16 Toneladas is raw, soulful, and irresistibly catchy.

Chinese pop pioneer Chang Loo (靜心等) had covered it before, in

1956

The song was first recorded by Merle Travis in 1946, but here's a live version from

1958

fitzloved as orpheus and eurydice yes fool's fate yes of course but also assassin's fate when fitz is trying SO HARD to let go to just die and he wants to ask beloved to go with him more than anything he's the ONLY one he wants to ask but he knows its not fair it shouldn't be the way he loves but he can't HELP reaching his hand and calling out for beloved w his last strength he cant HELP wanting to be whole he cant go into death without beloved and beloved has always been there waiting for him and the only place he wants to be is with fitz and of COURSE he goes without hesitation it was always bound to happen. beloved never knew he was loved but in that moment he does he fucking DOES

I take this with a grain of salt because Sheila is a known liar ruthless enough to give up her son to the Joker, so she could be lying for sympathy here. But if she’s telling the truth it kinda sounds like Willis stole their kid and decided to raise him with another woman?(might’ve been for the greater good considering the type of person Sheila is, but objectively kinda fucked up). Again she could be lying but that’s wild if true

Revisionist history

Castiel and Crowley performing a magic spell using a sprig of spurge; as a follow-up to (and inspired by) @lerry-hazel's beautiful fic where they repaired Michael's lance, killed Lucifer, saved Kelly and they all lived happily ever after.

remembering when in middle school, we had to draw illustrations on a book we were reading and the teachers were expecting me, The Artist ™, to draw. but i was super tired with artblock and just drew shitty stick figures. when i did turn it in, my teachers told me to do it again cuz i could do better and made me draw again more seriously despite doing the assignment. i just said no and accepted the shitty grade they gave me since i just wanted to be done with work, i think i got a C on it all because of the illustrations being a down grade from my usual style.

there's not really a moral here, just thinking back on being a teenager and the parts that sucked about it.

Another d&d character wip! (I just made my oc Charlie into a tiefling who comes from the kingdom of Insanity. I want him to sound light & airy & crazed like Charlie, but I’m leaning more & more for him to sound like Fizzarolli).

I was looking at the cast list for the new TMNT: Mutant Mayhem movie and yeah, the turtles are voiced by actual teens my age, but April is voiced by a 27 year old woman which made me chuckle for some reason. As much as I know Ayo has experience and her voice acting in the trailer is really good, like really good imo, I think it would of been a better choice to cast a young actress around the same age as the actors playing the turtles, you know, to make her feel more like a teen.

I know this is nick picking, but people are raving about the turtles sounding like early teens (14/15 years old) because they are voiced by teens but are completely missing my girl April.

alright. top 5 favorite crowley looks bc i love her sm:

5. short hair, of course, but THIS specific look. the white just looks so fucking good on him. got me giggling and shit

4. now, this is a very hard decision to make but i feel it was needed. 1967'S FUCKING HAIR BABY. this look was such a serve. it was giving everything it needed to give. the turtleneck the gay villian energy with an undercut of pining?? PERFECT.

3. now, you may or may not yell at me for not putting this higher but trust me, it was a hard decision. the fucking half up half down?? ATE. LEFT ABSOLUTELY NO CRUMBS. i kick my feet and twirl my hair every time i see this masterpiece. it's so good.

but this one doesn't end here. since i genuinely couldn't decide where to put this one, i'm just throwing this one here and running since they're technically the same hair just different outfits. but whatever. this fucking road worker look?? a complete serve. im in love.

2. NOW. i have said this before and i'll say it again: i have the BIGGEST and also the FATEST crush on 1941 crowley EVER. and i mean i think about this look once a day. every time i remember we'll see this look again i begin to giggle hysterically and run circles around my room. it's giving gentleman, giving knight in shining armor, it's sleek, it's smooth, it's beautiful. LOOK AT HER

the fucking HAT DIP???! I AM DEAD ON THE FLOOR I HAVE DIED DEAD I AM A CORPSE.

AND THE FUCKING SLICKED BACK HAIR UNDERNEATH???!!!!! RRRAAHAHB

1. the one THE ONLY: MESOPOTAMIA LOOK. we all knew this was coming and for a good reason. she's ethereal she's the specialist girl ever. i love her more than i love myself. i'd give my first born child for her. i wish i was the one to braid her hair. there isn't a moment, not a second, i'm not thinking about her.

thank u gay ppl for coming to my TED talk. it meant a lot.
