Music in the EAH Universe and who listens to them Part 5.

This is just an excuse to try to make music puns and share music I think the characters would listen to. (Some of these are even canon by the books!) I don't even like a majority of these musicians but I am fully convinced of my choices here. I marked in colours the one that are canonically part of the EAH Universe.

Since Tumblr only allows 100 inline links for a post I have to make different parts.

Part 1 (Alistair, Apple, Ashlynn, Blondie, Briar, Bunny)

Part 2 (Cupid, Cedar, Cerise, Chase Courtly, Daring)

Part 3 (Darling, Dexter, Duchess, Farrah, Faybelle, Ginger)

Part 4 (Holly, Hopper, Humphrey, Hunter, Jillian, Justine)

Part 5 (Kitty, Lizzie, Maddie, Meeshell, Melody, Nina)

Part 6 (Poppy, Ramona, Raven, Rosabella, Sparrow, Tucker)

The Red Raven

Katherine 'Kat' Blackwood

a/n: at this point ill just be making moodboards and blurbs instead of getting anything done. have Jack's sister Katie as Kat Blackwood, the nicest of the Blackwood kids

The eldest child of the Giant’s Daughter and Eamon Blackwood was not expected to make a good match.

Only a second son's short and stout daughter and inheritor of her mother’s nature, and yet Lord Tully’s heir desired no one else but Kat Blackwood, the Red Raven of Raventree Hall.

Though her tongue is not as forked as her darling mother’s, her letters show her favorite brother’s skill with a sword is no match for her skill with a pen.

Hi! This is the meta anon here (as I'll take to calling myself). I have read your response to the meta and I agree that Keefe doesn't actually do things like apologizing or self-reflection without external consequences to motivate him. This was a regrettable oversight on my part since I confess that I don't spend many hours of my KOTLC fandom exploits specifically loving or hating Keefe.

HOWEVER, I do believe that your hatred could set him on the path to self-reflection. My justification is that he doesn't particularly enjoy being hated. He will try to make you fall in love with him. You'll keep on hating him. Somewhere along the way he may have a good long think about himself because of the consequences.

Justification for the justification: Keefe despises being hated. He (obviously) isn't comfortable being hated by his parents even though he works to make him hate them because they're despicable people to varying but undeniable degrees. There's still a 'popular boy' who's actually a friendless (except for Fitz) kid who feels like he needs to keep up the humor and his trademark smirking (and so forth) to make people like him. The idea that someone hates him so vehemently may even make him take it as a side-project-challenge to make you like him. Cue the self-reflection.

Allow me to explain with a fic (sadly no strieefe for the strieefe enjoyers but. gen). Inspired by Alayda and the Never Change anon. Sincere apologies for probably mischaracterizing you (and Katie).

hate your lover, love your hater, and be studied by her friend: pt.1

When on a pleasant Friday evening in September Stria received a message from an unknown number, she blocked the number, posted some fascinating thoughts about Aldella on her Tumblr blog, and then proceeded to go to sleep.

The next morning, she had another message on her phone. In her half-asleep daze she opened the message and read the following:

Hey!! This is Keefe 'Lord Hunky-hair' [last name redacted for annoying-daddy-dearest reasons]. I saw that you blocked my human number yesterday, which was a little mean of you, so I had a Technopath friend of mine unblock it on your phone. It was brought to my attention that you put a lot of effort into hating my guts. Could we maybe fix that up and become friends?

Stria almost deleted the message. But then she saw that the number it was from had been the same number as last night.

Keefe Sencen. The real Keefe Sencen? she thought. Can't be. But she was, after all, the person who had written a seventy-five-page anti Keefe rant essay. She could easily convince an anonymous prankster into hating Keefe right along with her. Even if they had friends who were terrifyingly good at manipulating technology.

Let's play at this game, she decided, and typed: Sure. If you're actually Keefe Sencen, meet me at 12:30pm today, my time zone, at the main entrance of this mall. She dropped a link to a mall reasonably far from her house (which had, by all accounts, a reasonably efficient security team), and then called her good friend Katie to bring some backup with her. She didn't want to take chances with a fun joke turning into a terrible kidnap plot.

'You know it could be the real Keefe, right?' Katie pointed out to her. 'It's not completely impossible.'

Stria told her that it was most certainly not possible enough, and proceeded to pack her bags with necessary weapons (things to throw and a nice stout stick) before setting off.

She arrived at the mall at 12:20pm. Katie arrived at 12:30pm. 'Keefe' arrived, fashionably late, at 12:45pm. Not by car, but by what appeared to be light-leaping.

And it also appeared that the person was Keefe, mussed hair and smirk and all. Or at least this was someone in an incredibly convincing Keefe Sencen cosplay.

'Ohhh,' gasped Katie. 'It IS him! Are you Keefe Sencen? Oh, I can't believe it's you, and I love you so much! I want to examine you under a little microscope! Have I ever told you that I wanted to study you?'

He blinked. 'You're not the hater?'

Katie pointed to Stria, who was sitting on the steps of the mall in full view of the public, staring into the middle distance and trying to wrap her head around the fact that based on what she had just seen, both the Lost Cities and Keefe Sencen were real.

She was going to track Shannon Messenger down and have some strong words with her.

But questioning human existence could come later. For now, she simply stood up and looked Keefe straight in his hex-code-ice-blue eyes.

'It's me,' Stria said. 'I'm the hater.'

Then she pulled out a photocopied and spiral-bound version of her seventy-five-page rant on why she hated Keefe, and slapped it into Keefe's chest. It made an incredibly satisfying thunk. 'If you want to know why I hate you, then read this, and never talk to me again. Or if you do, you'd better have read this entire document.' And with that, she turned on her heel and stormed off.

Katie spent an extra five minutes getting Keefe's number, so as to have better access to him and his fascinating 'himselfness', and then followed Stria home.

*

Pt.2 on request; you are welcome to take stabs at my identity but kindly don't take stabs at me because I am small, frail, and weak <3

context here

wahoo!!!! i converted someone. everybody clap and cheer.

i think if i continued to hate keefe, it would not set him on a path of self-reflection, because he wouldn't care enough about my opinion to try to change his ways. heck, he cares about sophie, and he's not even trying to really change for her. he just says whatever he needs to say to appease her, then carries on. so what's going to motivate him to change himself for me, someone who doesn't even like him in the slightest? i would say he's generally indifferent to being hated, unless the person hating him is sophie. think about tam. he doesn't make any effort to try to make tam like him, though he generally knows tam doesn't really like him that much. so there's that.

i don't think keefe does any of that to make people like him . . . it's more of a cover for what's going on at home. everyone falls into the sense of "keefe is this cool, popular kid", and that's all they see of him, so why would they bother trying to think about what his home life must be like? i genuinely don't think keefe cares about being liked. he cares about attention, which is not the same thing. but i doubt he cares whether people like him or not. i think keefe would maybe, at the most, try to try to talk to me to figure out what my problem is with him. it might intrigue him that far. but once he realizes how far my hatred of him goes, i doubt he'd want to interact with me much anymore. and the feeling would certainly be mutual.

alright notes on your fic:

"hate your lover, love your hater, and be studied by her friend" first part is me i guess, second part is keefe i think, and third part is katie????

"[ . . . ] posted some fascinating thoughts about Aldella on her Tumblr blog, and then proceeded to go to sleep." ooooh, you think my thoughts about aldella are fascinating? thank you so much, anon. very much appreciated.

"Hey!! This is Keefe 'Lord Hunky-hair' [last name redacted for annoying-daddy-dearest reasons]. I saw that you blocked my human number yesterday, which was a little mean of you, so I had a Technopath friend of mine unblock it on your phone. It was brought to my attention that you put a lot of effort into hating my guts. Could we maybe fix that up and become friends?" and then stria died. the end. just kidding.

wondering how the fuck keefe knows i hate him. all these fics just have him like. somehow mysterious know that i hate him. did the power of my hatred magically implant that information into his head?

"She could easily convince an anonymous prankster into hating Keefe right along with her." terrifying accurate representation of my thought process. good job, anon.

"[ . . . ] then called her good friend Katie to bring some backup with her. She didn't want to take chances with a fun joke turning into a terrible kidnap plot." i love how i'm convinced that one extra teenage girl will stop a kidnapping plot if it happens. this is hysterical.

"'You know it could be the real Keefe, right?' Katie pointed out to her. 'It's not completely impossible.' Stria told her that it was most certainly not possible enough, and proceeded to pack her bags with necessary weapons (things to throw and a nice stout stick) before setting off." ah, katie. unfortunately, it is completely impossib- *gets shot* also me packing weapons . . . goodbye.

"Or at least this was someone in an incredibly convincing Keefe Sencen cosplay." not the keefe cosplay . . .

"'Ohhh,' gasped Katie. 'It IS him! Are you Keefe Sencen? Oh, I can't believe it's you, and I love you so much! I want to examine you under a little microscope! Have I ever told you that I wanted to study you?'" what do you mean. this is literally such an accurate katie. anon, you've crawled inside her head (/j katie don't kill me).

"He blinked. 'You're not the hater?'" I'M DEAD IN A DITCH.

"Katie pointed to Stria, who was sitting on the steps of the mall in full view of the public, staring into the middle distance and trying to wrap her head around the fact that based on what she had just seen, both the Lost Cities and Keefe Sencen were real." and then she shrugged and started tearing him (verbally) to shreds. keefe then fainted. stria had to then bury him in a ditch while katie verbally dissecting him. placing a good amount of dirt on him in case he woke up, she made katie swear not to come back and dig him up. katie, predictably, did not listen.

"She was going to track Shannon Messenger down and have some strong words with her." fun fact: i've never met shannon.

"For now, she simply stood up and looked Keefe straight in his hex-code-ice-blue eyes." NOT THE HEX CODE ICE BLUE EYES.

"Then she pulled out a photocopied and spiral-bound version of her seventy-five-page rant on why she hated Keefe, and slapped it into Keefe's chest. It made an incredibly satisfying thunk. 'If you want to know why I hate you, then read this, and never talk to me again. Or if you do, you'd better have read this entire document.' And with that, she turned on her heel and stormed off." *sniffs* anon has me down so well . . . this is what i say to people who wanna pick a fight with me over my keefe opinions. also what did i tell you all about the trope of me having a fucking. physical copy of my rant. which i apparently carry around and can afford to just toss at keefe.

"Katie spent an extra five minutes getting Keefe's number, so as to have better access to him and his fascinating 'himselfness', and then followed Stria home." you have katie locked down. to a science, maybe even.

i'm roughly 92% sure you're @worldsunlikemyown but if you're not this is going to be so embarrassing. part two would be interesting . . .

@myfairkatiecat come look at this anon's interpretation of you

GIRL LAMPS / Katie Stout

[katrantsasoiaf]

As someone whose Admittedly Impossible Dream Fancast for Alys was like... Eva Green, but specifically with hair and costumes roughly styled after her all-too-brief performance as Morgan in Starz's Camelot (the show itself had SO MANY flaws, but damn if I didn't completely obsess over her in that role for the one season it lasted!), THANK YOU for being so refreshingly reasonable about Gayle Rankin's casting! I don't think I've ever watched anything with, but I've heard she's a good actress and she's great with eerie, witchy roles, and personally, I think that's all that should matter.

Honestly, my only complaint is that I would have LOVED for Alys' actress to have a bigger, more visible age difference with Ewan. Not just for the obvious "Aemond likes MILFs"/"Alys is more experienced and tops him" jokes, as amusing (and inspiring if, like me, you like that sort of thing in your ships... ;)) as those can be, but also because it would have just been so nice to see a 40+ actress play a seductive, powerful character hooking up with a cool, younger male fan favorite many people (me included, lol) find hot. I get that Alys is supposed to look youthful, but depending on context, "youthful" can mean anything from "so babyfaced they keep getting mistaken for a teen well into their 30s" to "they have such an energy and such a lively, charming personality that people keep forgetting their actual age" after all...

Then again, I, too, would have also loved for older!Rhaenyra and Helaena to be played by fat people, thus putting on screen two fat female characters whose problems don't revolve around them hating their bodies, other people hating their bodies, or whether their bodies are or can be considered attractive. Still, Emma and Phia are both doing amazing jobs, and as well-cast as everyone's been until now, I don't doubt it'll be the same with Gayle and I'll be able to enjoy her performance... while waiting for industry conventions to slooowly change!

i also watched starz's camelot and had very mixed feelings about the show overall, but i adored eva green as morgan pendragon so much. so she was always who i imagined as alys when i read fire and blood. and i understood why many people felt the same way about katie mcgrath after watching her also as morgana in bbc's merlin. alys rivers just has really big morgan le fey energy, right down to her son.

i have never seen gayle rankin in anything. but she is supposedly a good actress who has played roles with witchy vibes. an pictures and edits of her with black hair as selling me on her casting more and more. i am sure she will do wonderful in the role. my biggest issue was those posts comparing pictures of gayle rankin and a fancast for alys, which was clearly posing gayle as unattractive and dumpy compared to the more conventionally attractive actress. which is just gross. it was gross when they did it to emma, and it sucks that the same cycle is repeating with gayle. they both deserved better.

i am terrified for the actress cast as nettles.

in regards to the rest of the casting, i agree with you entirely. milly, emma, and phia are great, i love both of them and none of this is a reflection of my feelings about them as actors. but rhaenyra and helaena are the only targaryen women who are explicitly described as bigger than a pencil. grrm specified that rhaenyra was "pudgy" as a girl and "stout" as a woman due to her multiple pregnancies, but she is still considered desirable. helaena is similarly described as "plump", but is adored. their canonical descriptions being ignored by both the showrunners and fans is disappointing, but not surprising.

i have strong feelings about some of the casting, but i still found it to be one of the shows greatest strengths. and i have no doubt that these newest additions will continue to elevate the show (the only one i actually recognize was freddie fox as gwayne hightower, he was the king of sweden in hulu's the great and i am excited for him).

Thai Massage Guide

As I referenced there are many puts you can get a massage on Koh Chang. As a matter of fact, you could most likely meander into any of them and you'd be cheerful. Notwithstanding, a significant number of the more modest spots change proprietors habitually. Or then again staff leave and new staff show up. Furthermore, in the event that the massage community has no set principles for staff then it looks bad to suggest a spot that may be extraordinary one year yet dreadful the following.

To this end I've quite recently picked three spots. All have been running for a long time and have ended up being reliably kindness no question actually be working long into what's in store.

On the off chance that you need even more a lodging spa kind of Thai massage, Ayurvana Massage at Santhiya Tree Resort and Spa Cenvaree at Centara Tropicana Resort both get a ton of good surveys.

Sima Massage is a longstanding #1 and some place that I have been prescribing to visitors and perusers of this site for a considerable length of time. It is an independent wooden structure on the side of the road worked in a rural Thai style.

It's presumably the best put to go on the island to have a legitimate, extreme, beat you up, customary Thai massage. The staff there spend their low season concentrating on massage at various sanctuaries around Thailand. They can feel what's going on with you before you tell them. I additionally know individuals who plan their days off on Koh Chang around everyday massages at Sima.

Go with a receptive outlook, be ready to be wound like a pretzel and afterward come out feeling eager and unsteady. So, all in all you stroll nearby to Kati Culinary (quite possibly of the best Thai café on the island and pack in the food.

Different kinds of massage are on offer, and the staff will be delicate with you on the off chance that you don't need the customary Thai experience. Check out 대전출장마사지.

Hatta Thai Massage and Health Center is a move forward in solace from Sima. There's cooling for a beginning. Notwithstanding profound tissue conventional Thai massage, Hatta additionally offers Fragrance based treatment, Hot Stone, Aloe Vera Sun related burn Help and Thinning Massages. Specialists are authorized by the Public authority of Thailand in the specialty of Thai Massage.

As most supporters are remaining at the Emerald Bay or Dewa, and the massage community is outfitted with hard wood floors, stout wooden furnishings and uses unquestionably the best oils and moisturizers, costs are higher than in a little side of the road shop unit. Beginning cost for a massage is from 400 Baht upwards.

“Little girl, little girl, little cutie pie, little girl little girl, mommy loves you,” I crooned as little girl took a nap on my chest, her tiny hand entangled in my curls, smiling as she dreamed sweet baby dreams. I looked up and smiled at the sight of my beefy older husband, who was tackling a puzzle book with a pencil behind one ear and a hand on little girl’s foot.

“I think the kids are back,” he announced as he scratched something into his latest puzzle, smiling down at me just lazing about.

 Sure enough…

 THUD-THUD-THUD-THUD-THUD-THUD-THUD-THUD-THUD-THUD-THUD-THUD-THUD-THUD-THUD-THUD-THUD-THUD

 “Brace yourself,” Peter laughed before a sudden explosion erupted at the door, ending with a bunch of bedbugs crawling onto the bed and Daisy waiting respectfully at the doorway for permission to enter.

 “Shhhh!” I hissed, shifting little girl in my arms. “Little girl is taking a nap in mommy’s arms!”

 The cluster of Ratajczyk bedbugs settled down sheepishly, apologizing softly as they packed themselves in around my soulmate and I- Elizabeth and Elle, Katie and Jing, Baby Tommy and his dollie.

 “How was school today?” I asked, opening an arm to welcome Baby Tommy in for a snuggle.

 “Mommy, there’s a new kids in our class with something called leukemia,” Elizabeth announced. “He’s bald and really pale and plays by himself most days.”

 “What’s his name?” I asked, smiling as Isabelle appeared in the doorway.

 “Caiden,” Elizabeth answered with a shrug. “He was really excited at seeing me though.”

 “Oh?” I hummed before smiling at Isabelle. “How were they?”

 “Perfect angels,” she smiled. “Would you like me to supervise them while they make dinner? Elizabeth was thinking meatball subs and French fries.”

 “That does sound yummy!” I told her as I swung my legs out of bed before standing with the babies in my arms. “My love, can you handle the babies for me?”

 “Give them here, woman,” Peter smiled as I handed them over. He settled the babies onto his burly chest, baring his teeth playfully at little girl before attacking her stout neck with kisses.

 Little girl hiccupped into sleepy giggles as she reached out for her little brother’s hand before settling back down into her godfather’s chest.

 “Come on now, girls,” I clucked as I shepherded the girls out from the master bedroom and back down to the main level, passing by an irritated Aaron on the way. “Hey, what’s going on?”

 “Ankle tracking device keeps malfunctioning,” he grouched before turning back to bitching on the phone to, I could only assume, his parole officer, his ankle chirping rather annoyingly.

 I winced as I joined everyone in the kitchen, standing back with Isabelle as we watched Elizabeth and Katie set Elle and Jing down onto the counter before going to wash their hands.

 “Isabelle?” I hummed as the two of us stood shoulder to shoulder. “Can you tell me a little bit about your upbring?”

 The woman huffed out a sigh before glancing out to the side.

 “I’m the eldest of nine kids,” she snorted. “My mom could never keep her legs shut- we’re all from different dads. Two died shortly after being born, one died at three years old, and one died two years ago.”

 I hummed softly as I listened to her telling her tale.

 “From a very early age, mom had me acting like a second mom to everyone, at the expense of my childhood,” she explained. “I knew how to change a diaper at age six, I was making dinner for everyone all by myself when I was nine years old, when I got my driver’s license, mom had me chauffeuring everyone around. I got into a screaming fight with her at my high school graduation last year. I had told her that I was going off to college and she wanted me to stay at home, watching after my siblings while she went out and partied and got drunk and had sex with random men. I called her the worst mother in existence and that she was the reason why I tried to kill myself when I was fifteen. She did not take that well at all.”

 I cooed softly as I welcomed her into a hug, wrapping my arms tightly around her.

 “I never went to a school dance, I never had a birthday party, I never been to the movies,” she confessed in a bleak tone of voice. “I packed up everything that I owned and moved in with my boyfriend at the time. He didn’t treat me the best, but it was either him or the streets for me.”

 You poor thing, I thought to myself.

 “Calvin is low functioning autistic and had giant meltdowns if it was windy and loved smashing eggs onto the refrigerator. Zuri is dyslexic and hates wearing the color yellow. Imani is colorblind and is terrified of dogs. Daruis is flat out psychotic and abusive and always had issues with explosive anger.” I frowned at Isabelle’s brisk description of her siblings.

 “CPS was never called?” I asked, wrapping my hand around the back of her head as she became vulnerable with me.

 “CPS is useless,” she snorted. “I would be taken in for an interview and then the case would be closed. Unbelievable.”

 “That doesn’t surprise me,” I snorted. “The system is totally fucked up. They keep kids in abusive households and take them out of good homes.”

 “Exactly!” she chuckled.

 “When’s your birthday?” I asked her. “Remind me.”

 “April second,” she shrugged. “Don’t do anything for me, please.”

 “Alright,” I agreed, already taking note of what she liked. She always had a scrunchie wrapped around her wrist to tie back her kinky black hair, seemed to like wearing oversized vintage t-shirts and slouchy socks. I would need to observe her for a little bit longer before getting her stuff.
