Wake up moots - new Incarnate/Moon!Hector vibe is dropping!

I can't explain how/why this song applies to Incarnate!Hector, and what it represents from his character development, YET. (Trust me it'll make sense in due time - just avoiding spoilers for now 😏.) But this song itself is such a wonderful blast from the past and I needed to share it with you all, especially within the context of my fanfic.

My favorite song on my newest album 💖

Also on spotify, apple music, youtube, bandcamp, etc…

Part of a storytelling adventure called Captain Earthquake!

One of my most favorite things about a lot of songs made about/inspired by Fresh is the amount of synths used. Synthesizers are electronic instruments that have their own unique sort of sounds, and they’re very different from the more traditional instruments. They’re still instruments, of course, but they’re a very different type; they’re synthetic. Artificial.

Fresh isn’t a skeleton. He’s a parasite that pilots skeletons. He pretends to be things he’s not. He’s very different from others, like how synths are very different from traditional instruments. Some might even say that he’s not a real person, like how some may say synths aren’t real instruments, but synths still make sound and are used in music, and Fresh is still a living being with his own thoughts and desires.

It’s also specific types of synths that I associate with Fresh. Like synths that have more treble (deeper, more bass-y synths remind me more of Error), which I can’t really explain why exactly it reminds of Fresh more than just any kind of synth, other than it’s what I’ve heard in a lot of Fresh songs, and that it’s kinda what I associate with how I imagine his voice is like, and it Just Makes Sense™️.

It’s also usually upbeat, fast-paced songs with those synths that I associate with Fresh the most (and it makes me very happy seeing fanmade Fresh songs have those sorts of elements to them), because he’s a very Upbeat and fun type of character, but there’s also similar music that sort of portrays his more serious and scary sides; his truer sides. Fast-paced music that sounds more intense, and makes me picture fight scenes, or scenes where Fresh is chasing down his next host <3

Guitar Picks

For me, this is the only thing that matters when you play music—a guitar pick, and the guitar that defines your sound you play on to use it. I was barely five when poetry changed my life forever. Although the title of the record like sand that the winds of time had swept off my mind, the poem ‘Seven Black Birds’ is still ringing in my ear to this day. Mom handed me a book and flipped the pages…

Here's a little story...

I don't know when I got obsessed with the silly little band of theater kids wearing masks- but the Storyteller just has one of the coolest designs that I HAD to draw it (despite the fact I haven't drawn an actual finished piece in months)

REVIEW

The Wicked Truth by Melissa Foster

The Wickeds: Dark Knights at Bayside #4

  Another great story from a fabulous author – loved Madigan and Tobias and was rooting for them from beginning to end!

 What I liked:

* Madigan “Mads” Wicked: musical storyteller, greeting card line businesswoman, puppeteer, MC Princess, has four protective brothers, guarded in some ways but so open in others, really liked her

* Tobias Riggs: ex-con, mechanic, ex-MMA fighter, broody, quiet, introspective, has lost much, loves his grandfather, alpha with a heart of gold

* That neither main character said they were in the market for a relationship…then watching the romance unfold

* The slow unveiling of the past events that have created the more guarded personalities of Tobias and Madigan

* The love of family that is so predominant throughout the story – even when family sometimes hurts

* The steamy bits – fanning myself a bit

* That I could see the main characters together and hoped everything would work out for them

* That it is standalone readable though there are a lot of characters from previous books that I have not read

* The HEA ending and wondering who will find their HEA next

 What I didn’t like:

* Who and what I was meant not to like

* Thinking about how devastating some events can be even when the cause was unintentional

 Did I enjoy this book? Yes

Would I read more by this author? Definitely

 Thank you to the author for the ARC – This is my honest review.

 5 Stars

       BLURB

 Scorching heat, laugh-out-loud humor, and swoon-worthy moments abound in this sexy new standalone romance by New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Melissa Foster. What happens when you’re not looking for love, but it walks in the door? Madigan Wicked’s heart is not up for grabs. She’s been there, done that, and she’s not going back for seconds. She pours her heart and soul into her family, her greeting card line, puppetry, and storytelling performances. But she’s not opposed to having a night of fun, and the gruff, sinfully hot, definitely-not-looking-for-love mysterious stranger she runs into at a bar might be just the right man to enjoy it with. Ex-con Tobias Riggs has lost enough for one lifetime. The only family member in his corner doesn't remember him, and the people who he thought would always be in his life, walked away. He’s just trying to make it through each day, and the last thing he’s looking for is any sort of connection. When chemistry ignites with the snarky, sexy storyteller, with lips he can't stop thinking about, he gives in to a night of passion. Though neither is open to love, it’s been known to bully its way into even the most resisting hearts. But can it survive the wicked truth of Tobias’s dark past? About The Wickeds: Dark Knights at Bayside Set on the sandy shores of Cape Cod, the Wickeds feature fiercely protective heroes, strong heroines, and unbreakable family bonds. If you think bikers are all the same, you haven’t met the Dark Knights. The Dark Knights are a motorcycle club, not a gang. Their members stick together like family and will stop at nothing to keep their communities safe. These men are wickedly alpha and intensely loyal, but they are not alphaholes. *** Want more WICKED sexy love stories?

The Storyteller by @yaelokre

[lunamay3]

Ya know, one thing I think is really cool about Epic: The Musical is that it kinda returns The Odyssey back to its roots. Let me explain that.

So The Odyssey was originally a sung poem passed orally between singers called rhapsodes for generations before it was written down. It is this written version of essentially a really long song that would eventually become the text that we know of called The Odyssey. The Odyssey that we know is just one version of a larger piece of musical communal storytelling.

These days when people interact with The Odyssey it’s usually as a book (that’s probably not even read aloud) instead of as a musical performance. Aka most people who have read The Odyssey have never heard The Odyssey.

It’s also more static. The Odyssey is the “true” version, everything else is an adaptation at best. It’s no longer considered a communal story in which anyone can be an author.

Then Epic comes along. Like any adaptation it does contribute to as close as we can get to that original communal storytelling, but also, by being a musical, it does what only musical adaptations of The Odyssey can do. It makes The Odyssey a musical performance again, the way it originally was thousands of years ago.

And I just think that’s neat.

uendo's character theme is SO clever cause the first time you hear it, you notice all these odd shifts and feel like it's a little all over the place, but after the Twist, you realize these are distinct parts for each alter.

i tried to throw together what i mean with the intro - after this section they all kinda build over each other, symbolizing the shared consciousness!

This verse alone in Kendrick’s 6:16 in LA is better than anything in Drake’s discography omg
