~Fallout 4 Companions React to a Pair of Hunter™ Original Red Wellington Boots~

Ada would be delighted to have some high-quality rubber to cut up and use in various projects. A marksman's stock, stealth lining for armour, a generator and some power pylons... Oh, the possibilities!

Cait would be mildly amused. "Well, aren't those cute?" she'd chuckle, and then go and do something else.

Codsworth would be quite chuffed. "By George, is that a genuine pair of Wellingtons, made by the Hunter Boot Company of Edinburgh?!" he'd exclaim. "How splendid to see genuine British craftsmanship still thriving in this day and age! Why, it was nearly impossible to acquire Hunter footwear in the years before the war, thanks to the Chinese government shutting down all their factories..."

"Ah, tres bon! It is most important to 'ave ze protective footwear if zere is contaminated water around," Curie would remark. If she was in her Miss Nanny form, that would be all. In her synth form, on the other hand, she'd ignore them because she's already wearing protective shoes. (Yes, those combat boots included with her Flannel Shirt and Jeans™ are actually chemical-resistant, heat-resistant, suitable for agriculture, industrial work, laboratories, bird-watching and professional kitchens.)

Paladin Danse wouldn't care about the boots at all. Not one bit. However, he'd be very concerned about the Commonwealth gaining access to Vulcanised Rubber. The thought of raiders or civilians learning to heat up naturally-occurring latex until it becomes a firmer, tougher material would keep him awake at night.

Deacon would smile mysteriously and tuck the boots away in his bag. "One step closer to my Wonder Woman costume," he'd declare, already thinking of where to find gold paint and a craft knife.

Dogmeat would use the £135.99 pair of wellies as chew toys unless you stopped him.

Porter Gage would laugh at the wellies. "Looks like something one of the Pack would wear!" he'd guffaw. This belies the fact that Gage would absolutely wear them if they were yellow.

"Look at those stupid things! You wouldn't catch me in anything that garish," Glory would laugh. "But let me know if you find a pair of Chore™ Adjustable Tall Boots by the Original Muck Boot Company, okay? Black or camo, not pink."

Hancock would be mildly amused. "Well, aren't those cute?" he'd chuckle, and then go and do something else.

MacCready would be reminded briefly of the mole costumes they used to have in Little Lamplight, and how, after two hundred years of wear on generations' worth of feet, the boots always leaked. Then his mind would start racing, thinking of all the historians and eccentric collectors he knew, and who would pay the most for a genuine, mint condition pair of pre-war wellingtons. Sydney and Emaline, maybe? Or Sierra? They're red, so he could probably convince her they were Nuka-Cola boots...

Nick would be kinda ticked. "Well, aren't those fancy?" he'd chuckle, and then mosey along to his other business.

Old Longfellow would be quite underwhelmed. "Too short," he'd sigh. "They're better than nothing, but they won't keep the waves out for long."

Piper would be absolutely delighted. "Look at them! They go so well with my coat!" she'd laugh, dancing around with the wellies on her feet. "Nat's going to be so jealous... Wait, but what if this encourages her to wear shiny red boots in a reckless manner?! I-I can't be a bad influence on my little sister! Should I give them to Ellie instead, or...?"

Preston wouldn't really know what to make of the boots. "Er, those are quite nice," he'd say noncommittally. "Not really my colour, though. Er, is there any reason you're showing me these? It's so random... Oh, yes! Speaking of things that are red, we've had reports of a Yao Guai stalking around near Oberland Station..."

"Ah... Thin red buckets!" Strong would declare. "Too fancy compared to normal buckets. Strong can't carry much Milk of Human Kindness in these," he'd add before tossing the boots over his shoulder. They'd land in some unseen location with a crash of breaking glass and the anguished screech of a cat.

Z6-88 wouldn't react. He wouldn't betray the slightest thought or emotion regarding the wellingtons. If, on the other hand, you were wearing them, he'd peer down at your red rubber-clad feet for just long enough to unnerve you, and then speak. "You are aware that the Institute makes its own rubber boots," he'd declare. "Far superior to those antiques. Unless, of course, you enjoy blisters and chafed calves."

Inej Ghafa - The Calling And I promise you I'll write I love you With my fingers on your sleeping hand And when that fox howls I'll howl with it, in its cries I'll find an end And when I think I'm fine you'll visit And then you happen to me, you happen to me all over again

Nina Zenik - Ruin I will bring you ruin in everything I do It's never my intention but it happens all the same It starts with love and comfort Becomes a strength of will But all that strength made rubble of those towers we built

Matthias Helvar - Blossoms And my saint she is dancing As every step I choose to take begins to set the world aflame And the soldiers march behind me I can hear them beat their spears And for the first time in all my life I know I'm more than what I fear

Alina Starkov - Inkpot Gods Oh what these? These aren't tears It's just the rain that wasn't brave enough to fall And what they hear isn't laughter after all It's just your voice learning for once to stand up tall

Aleksander Morozova - The Horror and The Wild Think of all the horrors that I promised you I'd bring I promise you, they'll sing of every Time you passed your fingers through my hair and called me child Witness me old man, I am the Wild

Malyen Oretsev - Farewell Wanderlust Because farewell wanderlust, you've ever ever so kind You brought me through this darkness but you left me here behind And so long to the person you begged me to be He's down, he's dead Now take a good long look at what you've done to me

Nikolai Lantsov - That Unwanted Animal And you rip my ribcage open And devour what's truly yours And our screaming joins in unison I cry out to the lord 'Cause if we join our hands in prayer enough to God I imagine it all starts to sound like applause

Genya Saffin - Fair "'Cause outwardly," he says, "I try so hard to make you laugh at me" And she, she does, she laughs as though she's not heard the joke ten thousand times before And he adores her, he watches her get dressed as though she's hurtling through time "Oh darling, please be mine"

Jesper Fahey - Welly Boots And when you scream that it's not fair It's like I've gone off to the coast Left you behind just standing there Pretending not to see your ghost

Wylan Van Eck - Secret Worlds 'Cause I will suffer silence for the strings you tune And I'll withstand what's written for the writer in you Write me well my love, write me weird Write me willing, write me well

@mettatoniic wished : at alarming speed , Mettaton is at Layla's side and taking a hand to dance with her before twirling and dipping her ! a debonair smile with the pose . " well well well welly well well ... looking fabulous as ever , saccharine voice ! that radiant glow you've got , ooh ! "

❛ 𝐌𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐚  ─  𝐎𝐎𝐇  !  ❜

There's  absolutely  no  doubt  in  the  world  that  if  the  siren  owned  an  heart  it  would  currently  be  threatening  to  burst  out  of  her  chest  and  do  a  little  dance  because  of  the  sheer  thrill  of  being  approached  by  the  glittering  superstar  in  such  a  way  .  However  ,    she  only  had  her  soul  to  answer  for  ─  and  it  was  absolutely  glowing 

Despite  her  movements  being  sort  of  awkward  and  somewhat  clumsy  ,  Layla  still  felt  her  cheeks  flush  a  vibrant  shade  of  blue ,  and  a  cheerful  laugh  escaped  her 

It  was  no  secret  that  she's  been  following  Mettaton's  career  for  years  ,  and  her  admiration  had  grown  gradually  to  become  adoration  .  But  she  never  imagined  she  would  actually  have  the  chance  to  meet  him  ,  let  alone  have  these  playful  and  friendly  encounters  with  him  .  Now  ,  as  he  whimsically  reached  for  her  hand  and  led  her  in  for  a  dance  ..  she  felt  like  she  could  do  anything  ,  being  around  him  just  ─  did  wonders  to  her  confidence ,  and  she  felt  ,  indeed  ,  beautiful .  Like  he  had  always  encouraged .  And  despite  her  sheepishness  she  couldn't  deny  the  thrill  of  being  in  his  arms  ,  his  attention  and  kind  words  focused  solely  on  her 

❛   𝐑𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐭  𝐠𝐥𝐨𝐰 ,  𝐲𝐨𝐮  𝐬𝐚𝐲 ?  𝐘𝐨𝐮'𝐫𝐞  𝐚𝐥𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬  𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐭𝐞  𝐭𝐡𝐞  𝐬𝐦𝐨𝐨𝐭𝐡  𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐤𝐞𝐫 ❜ now  that  she's  blushing  even  harder ,  she's  definitely  glowing  alright

Family snow day - Day 2

TW : Fluff

Summary : As the snow fell down there was only one thing you and your family could do. So much fun, so much laughter and lots of cold shivers.

Snow. It was a wonderful and magical experience for any child to experience. The small white orbs fell from the sky and left a blanket of safety on the roads and buildings of the city. Since you where a little girl the moments spent in the garden with your family picking up and making small snowmen where moments to remember. The world fell quiet when the snow fell down and winter was there to make the most magical wonderland. It was days like these where you knew family was something to cherish, the many memories made where memorable, beautiful and unique - the perfect mixture of love.

"Mummy! Mummy!" Your children shouted in unison as they raced down the stairs in fits of excitement. The sun had just risen and the dogs where barking in a song as they admired the white pieces of bliss dance through the sky. You often woke up much earlier than everyone else as early morning starts where always your favourite, especially with three children.

"Yes darlings?" you asked with a smile as you turned around and noticed the three children in matching pyjamas and huge white grins with sparkling eyes.

"Snow!!!" Myles screamed back as he pointed towards the large glass with his small hand looking out onto the huge garden with gathering snow and ice. Your two girls raced over to the dogs with giggles as they itched to get outside.

"What's all this shouting about?" You heard Jordan ask whilst wiping the sleep from his eyes and letting out a huge yawn. You looked over at your husband with dully lit eyes and a messy bed head, you couldn't help but laugh at the man before you.

"It's snowing daddy!" Elexa shouted back to him making his eyes jump open at the raised voice and current status of the weather. He walked over to the three children and picked Myles up into his arms.

"Do you want to go outside?" Jordan asked as he tickled your sons stomach with a laugh. The room was filled with screams of yes and fits of giggles bouncing off every object possible. "Get some coats and wellies on then" Jordan ordered with a smile as he let Myles and the two girls run out off the room and back upstairs.

"Good morning to you as well" you said with a laugh as you dried your hands with the kitchen towel and offered your husband a smirk.

"Hmm good morning babe" he softly replied back as he snaked his arms around your waist and pressed his chin onto your shoulder. "I woke up too no one in bed" he added with a laugh as he remembered himself searching for you in the cold winter air and fresh sheets. Jordan would never admit it but he was extremely clingy and constantly wanted your love and attention whenever possible.

"I know the dogs where going mad so I came down" you stated with a laugh as you kissed his cheek. "Did you not hear them?" You added with raised eyebrows and a laugh at the fact he had no idea about your naughty dogs and his terrible hearing.

"No" Jordan simply replied.

"Oh my god! You really are getting old. Are you loosing your hearing?" You asked with cheek as you checked his ears with a laugh. He gave you a glare as he pressed a soft kiss to your lips.

"You would hate me to get old" he mumbled onto your lips with a smirk as you felt his lips turn up onto yours. His accent could of sent you to your knees with every word he spoke and every breathe he took. You kissed his lips one last time until you heard the sound of little footsteps running down the stairs accompanied with giggles.

"Come on!" They shouted to you both as they ran straight past you both and opened the wide patio doors. You looked at the three of them helping each other out into the outside blanket. You and Jordan both looked at each other bursting out with laughter at the enthusiasm from your children.

"Mummy! Daddy!" Alba shouted to you both as you pushed each other towards the cold white snow. You where both as reluctant as one another whilst you both fought to the door until someone was out first in the cold bleak weather. As Jordan leaped out of the patio door with reluctance written all over his face he started to see just how special today was going to be. You quickly grabbed your coat and made a beeline. Your eyes looked out noticing your three children create snow angels on the floor whilst Jordan chased your two dogs around. You weren't sure whether it was the small puppy prints on the floor or the constant movement of your children's tiny bodies across the snow but your heart was doubling with every second. You quickly grabbed your phone and took pictures of your little family before running over to them.

Hours went by and more and more snow danced down the floors of Liverpool. You all took it upon yourselves to make snowmen of your very own and have as many snow ball fights as physically possible. As the cold night fell upon you all the idea of a warm blanket and a hot mug of tea was something you couldn't pass upon. The heating was turned up and the candles where firing red as they let out the scent of festive cinnamon. Your arms where tangled within every one of your children including Jordan who had himself attached with all your there little bodies. Their small youthful eyes where left heavy as they admired the Grinch on the tv. You knew there wasn't much more excitement in the three of them left but you couldn't help but take this memory in for just a little bit longer.

I hope you enjoyed day 2 of my advent calendar!📅 Another Jordan imagine!🥰 Please leave feedback and requests as they are greatly appreciated and they make me smile so much😋. Have the best day ever and merry Christmas🎄! Thank you all so much for the support.😇 @prettylittletrent @cornertakenquicklyyyy @trentalexanderarnold @robbo38 @robbothegoat @kostasstsimikass @chelseamount @chloereddy @tsimikasfamily @avenirdelight @blueathens @jordanhendersunshine @mrs-henderson @thatonesexycancerian @hendersons1truelover @nyctophilic0vitnir @peekapeaches @tsimikxs @tsimikostas @trentalexarnofan @leddows @moneymasnn @superkittywonderland @virgilvansike @virgilvandickmedown @hopefulromantic1 @robbo-trent-fanfiction26

A/N: Hey all, here’s a tiny little James POV holiday snippet to say thank you for all the lovely reviews and likes. I didn’t want to post it at first because nothing really happens, but maybe some of you enjoy it nonetheless. I hope you’re all well and made it through the festive season unscathed :). Thanks for your support and love and general brilliance. 

‘T I S   T H E   S E A S O N

I almost kissed her.

Shit.

I want to groan and bury my head in my hands, but I can’t, of course. Not with my entire family racketing around the table like they have all gone batshit and Celestina Warbeck crooning about cauldrons full of hot, strong love.

“We danced to this when we were young, Arthur. Do you remember?” Grandma says, like she does every year, and the smile she gives Grandpa, who is half-falling asleep at the table, also like every year, makes me want to hug both of them.

The kitchen in the Burrow is crammed. More than usual. The unshapely dining table is really just a collection of half a dozen haphazardly arranged smaller tables, covered with an oversized tablecloth, and I can feel an odd table leg digging into my shin. 

It used to be bigger - it felt bigger. Now, I’m wedged in between Freddie and Teddy and, even though we all sit with our shoulders slightly hunched and our arms pressed to our sides, we can barely move without shoving each other.

I almost kissed her. 

On the cold grounds in the snow with my heart slipping as it struggled to keep in time.

“Oi, Herbie!” 

I snap my head up to see a black shape barrel across the table, recklessly knocking over glasses and candles before it leaps straight onto my lap.

Lilly’s arshole cat who hates everyone but me is nuzzling his fluffy head into my stomach, giving absolutely no shits about having just caused a minor fire in his wake. Uncle Ron puts it out with an overambitious Aguamenti charm that floods half the table, earning himself a round of applause from Dad and Uncle George while Aunt Hermionie is busy minimising the damage. 

Celestina’s voice is still howling from Grandma’s ancient radio, the music seeping into the general din of conversations and laughter that fill the kitchen. But I know all the words by heart. I could sing You Charmed the Heart Right Out of Me with an entire bottle of firewhiskey in my system and not miss a line.

I almost kissed her. 

I wanted to.

She was waiting for me in the hospital wing - in Hagrid’s awful plaid blanket and the too large wellies - and I let her go. Because I’m a fucking coward. 

Gryffindor my arse. 

“So, James.” Rose leans over Teddy, tucking her auburn hair behind her ears like she means business. “I’ve heard some wild things about you at Beaux.”

“You did?” I arch an eyebrow at her as Herbie curls up in my lap, his little paws playing with the hem of my jumper. It’s maroon, with a slightly wonky J across the front, and it matches my equally chunky socks. Grandma went all out this year. 

“Yeah, are you actually failing Potions?” 

I snort and shake my head because, of course, of all the rumours that could have reached her across the English Channel, Rose, the wonderful creature, is concerned about my abysmal grades.

“I’m not,” I say, even though that’s not entirely true. “Who the fuck told you that?”

“Don’t worry, Rosie.” Freddie digs his shoulder into my side as he leans in, looking entirely too happy with himself. “He’s got a brilliant tutor, don’t you Jamie?” He slaps my back and I want to kill him; just a little bit.

“Yeah.” I sigh and my mind slips back to that one moment when I realised just how fucked I really am; when I asked Seth about Potions and she told me about having to earn the magic and I couldn’t take my eyes off of her. “I do.”

Backstory: Olivia "Liv" Manning spent her early childhood in the lively but more modest neighborhoods of Wellington Wells. Her parents were talented street artists with a passion for music, dance, and visual arts. The streets were their stage, and Liv grew up amidst the creative performances of her parents.

From a young age, Liv displayed a natural curiosity and enthusiasm for artistic expressions. Instead of traditional toys, Liv could often be found with colorful paints and brushes in hand, attempting to capture the vibrant energy of her family on paper. The dazzling costumes and creative face paintings of her parents fascinated Liv, inspiring her to discover her own artistic voice.

The financial challenges of her family did not hinder Liv from developing her passion for arts and crafts. Supported by her parents, she began refining her skills in makeup artistry, creating small masterpieces on the faces of her friends and siblings.

As Liv grew older, she chose to stay in Wellington Wells and did not travel further with her family. Opting to remain with her grandparents in Wellington Wells, Liv continued to pursue her artistic passion. She started doing makeup for the members of Nick Lightbearer's band. However, when the band parted ways with Nick, Liv faced a new challenge.

This opportunity eventually led Liv into the glamorous world of the Broadcast Towers. Liv's work as a makeup artist in the Broadcast Tower flourished. Although it wasn't the same as doing makeup for the band members, working with Uncle Jack and making him look good for the camera fulfilled her. It was a dream come true for Liv to be so close to Uncle Jack, and she cherished the opportunity.

Relationships with:

Arthur: She hates him.

Sally: She admires Sally Boyle for her intelligence and creative brilliance. She considers Sally an inspiring colleague.

Ollie: She has a strong dislike for Downers, and this extends to individuals like Oliver Starkey. She may see Downers as a burden or people who could impact the positive energy and creative atmosphere in the Broadcast Tower. Liv likely views Oliver Starkey with skepticism and strives to distance herself from his negative vibes.

Relationships with other characters:

Nick: She admires Nick Lightbearer not only as an artist, but also as an inspiring personality. His creative genius and unique combination of music and performance deeply impressed Liv. Despite the challenges when the band split up, she considers her time with Nick a formative period in her career. His authenticity and emotional expressiveness in art left a lasting impression on Liv.

Bobbies: She maintains a positive relationship with the Constables. She appreciates their role as guardians of safety in Wellington Wells and likely collaborates well with them. Liv may see the Constables as a supportive force contributing to the stability of the city.

Doctors: She likely holds doctors in high regard, appreciating their skills and contributions to health and stability in Wellington Wells. Doctors could be significant figures for Liv.

Uncle Jack: She finds him very inspiring and is happy to work with him. She wouldn't deny that she wanted to have more with him.

Foggy Jack: She finds him very interesting and would like to know more about him.

Downers: She dislikes Downers, viewing them as a negative influence that could disrupt the positive atmosphere. She tends to keep her distance from their negative energy.

5, 20, 27 for the music ask game?

hehe music ask i love this. Ok, ramble time!!

5. A song that needs to be played LOUD- Bodys by Car Seat Headrest

wow Static talking about CSH again, how original. BUT SERIOUSLY I ADORE THIS SONG! Definition of a song that is asking you to dance and live in the moment. I want to see this song in a coming of age movie SO badly, you have no idea. But, the amount of time I've fuckin blasted this song full volume is wild. It's beautiful and fun and has some amazing lyrics as well. CSH my beloved <3 I can ramble about these lyrics for a while I really want to paint some of them on a jacket >:3

(Honorable mentions: Dance Yrself Clean by LCD Soundsystem and Slip Away by Perfume Genius. Both INCREDIBLE songs)

20. A song that has many meanings to you-Honeybee by Steam Powered Giraffe

This is maybe my favorite love song ever (competing with Fair by The Amazing Devil) and is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. Like holy SHIT those harmonies and lyrics and the overlapping part and the AHHHHH. If you can't tell this is one of my all time favorite songs lol. But it's a song that breaks my heart because I found it through an animatic that is SO fucking sad for one of my favoirte pieces of media, The Adventure Zone. That animatic fucking wrecks me and has made me cry multiple times. So, sometimes it makes me sad, but I still think it's amazing. And it's a song that my mom loves as well, its so fun to sing it with her in the car. :D ahhhh its so good. If you go and listen to any song here, it should be this one.

(Honorable mentions: Drunk Drivers/Killer Whales by Car Seat Headrest and literally any song from the Historians album by Lucy Dacus lol)

27. A song that breaks your heart- Elysian Fields by the Mechanisms and Welly Boots by The Amazing Devil

I have a LOT of options for this one because angst is my absolute favorite (as you know afgdhjsjkl) But this song has fully wrecked my shit SO many times. It's the ending of a narrative album called "Ulysses Dies at Dawn" which means the world to me, and this song is...well. Ulysses dying at dawn. But, the reason why I always return to it is it's stunningly bittersweet lyrics and the heartfelt instrumentals. Also it reminds me of the ending of my book which i also have big emotions about so that doesn't help lol. But this album is a fucking masterpiece and this ending will forever stick with me and make me VERY sad.

Welly Boots is my most listened to song on spotify across like four entire years worth of music lol. This song DESTROYS me and has some of the most beautiful lyrics I've ever heard. Also word for word also connects to my book (the same two characters actually), so I connect it with one of my favorite things I've ever written. Fuck, this song is so amazing. Also is very bittersweet and heartbreaking and ahhhhh

(Honorable mentions: It's ok to cry by SOPHIE, and levers by Roland Faunte (or ANY song by him ngl) )

Thanks for the ask! I fucking LOVE to ramble about my music. I have so many thoughts all the time :DDDD

So! Some songs for my main girl (beloved darling of my heart), Astala Tabris

Hit Like A Girl (Meet Me @ The Altar)

Got strength, no brute

Nothing to prove

They just don’t know about it

Got grace and truth

It’s nothing new

They just forgot about it

The Wedding Feast (Bonnie Grace)

In my mind and heart, this is the soundtrack for the wedding before everything goes south

Warrior (The Phantoms)

The drums of war are beating

At the end of it all

The last light is fleeting

As the Shadows fall

But still we’ll stand up, we’ll stand up, we’ll stand up

Soldier (Tommee Profitt & Fleurie)

Soldier keep on marchin' on

Head down til the work is done

Waiting on that morning sun

Soldier keep on marchin' on

Welly Boots (The Amazing Devil) aka Astala’s issues with her mother in a nutshell

“How could you leave me here?" you'll scream

And louder, I'll scream back to you from that unknown

And say

"I know you're strong enough

I know you're strong enough

I know you're strong enough to do this on your"

And a bonus one for Zev and Astala:

Dust to Dust (The Civil Wars)

Let me in the wall, you've built around

And we can light a match and burn them down

And let me hold your hand and dance 'round and 'round the flames

In front of us

Dust to dust

More OCs over here!

Part 2...

In simple, when you asked me, what's the matter I didn't know how to tell you what it was... I didn't know how to say hey I'm having truma and a mental breakdown.

. Because I didn't know and I don't know how to say you met me when I was Carefree and now my life... Is different and difficult... And... Life was bliss and now I'm climbing a fucking mountain of pain... But it's worth it, you didn't tell me about the view (again laugh but true)

So I don't know what it is or what is going on but wasn't wasn't right, but in this cinema and after being bullied in a bar to end up at as pyschlogists are free post covid ish nz... Back to. Learning and now that so when I feel like I'm dying while it seems that's my mental health being like oh hello, your in meltdown from autisc burnout or mental truma.... But I can't feel my red flags, I don't see them... I only know... I don't know when things go wrong, I can only know by my eye coulour....and I can't see it... It's why I need you to be my eyes... To see what I csnt unless I use a my selfie camera and then I throw my nose canceling headphones and try fucking dancing/stimping to a good beat and people look at me like what the fuck is wrong with this kid/adult ....

Anyway, people are more accepting if you have a wheelchair they roll out a red carpet, have a nerodivergt/nerodiadilty and as you know weeeeeeeeez.

I told you... About not being able to talk to me in 2021 but here me just before I left my apartment and in the airport in welly back to Auckland around August? .. If you want to go back... Look on my insta for the key post me handing back my apartment key... I think it's public

Like you probably didn't see this but that was what was happening to me I didn't want to scare you... but these are off my old phone but 2021 meltdown yeahhhhhhh, well at least I learnt many things that year even now it's 2023 and we're always learning something new.... Like when I was while in deep shit, and told you to not talk to me and I knew something was up... But I couldn't say what or how to tell you as I didn't have the right words to describe it and Because my eyes are my mood ring... You know this by now... Right? Or well now you do.... So when you asked me What's wrong I'm like ummm something that I don't know because I have no...words or Emotion and no.... Emphay.. It seems I needed a flow wheel with words or playing cards with names (no picture at shrinks office next time but she's... We're get there) and someone... At work called me a man child and it hurt so now I'm on part time work... Thanks toxic assholes.... Work a corporate it's fun i get in trouble for. Autism being oh your Asian because that's rdue or offensive? Like fuck off really? No wonder I depress myself constantly society is so toxic... Fuck me... (sarcasm) and they get a promption for trying to help me understand the corporate world....

P.S

Here's a poem with some riddles and mystery 😂

There's a picture, maybe it's all the missing pecies I'm looking for but it's really hard to know to be certain, it's early days I finished the sides and working my way in....

I'm making my way in looking and what is my missing pecies, there's a type of. Puzzle called a wasgij

, Feels like it's one of those kind of puzzles...

I think it's a woman, a cat named stewams and possibly if she gets my reference an A for your a star, and another A who's a pilot... or a companion of a doctor... But I think her nickname is going to be a song from a John denver album that's on the way back home again behind a log cabin in the woods in I think Washington but y'know, and for some reason the photographer is shooting flim, even if it's not vegan but it is what it is, he's a bit of a capt American but bucky isn't there but Peggy sue, buddy Holly even likes Peggy. And he's like oh shit and try's running into place for the photo and.... Well I don't know it's flim we haven't deloped it yet.

How does one do that - time to find out eventually in a darkroom... Where pictures come back from being light and iredisent beams of light where pink flyod is casually playing on the turntable.

Am I too late for the music meme??? If not can I ask for 4, 5 and 6 for the whole crew? Pretty please?

It's never too late for music!! Thanks for asking, Lilou c:

(Music Meme list)

4. a song lyric that describes my muse

Answered here for all of them c:

5. a song that makes my muse sad

Oh, songs that make me sad, you said? Songs that make me cry in front of my computer while trying to transcribe relevant lyrics? Those songs?

Arianwen: Welly Boots by The Amazing Devil.

Not that everything comes back to her mother, but I think Adaia's loss is one of the things that's going to push Wen's buttons every single time. This song is about someone watching a loved one from the afterlife (perhaps as a ghost?), knowing that they can't really do much to help but still reaching out over and over again anyway

Choice lyrics: "If only you could hear my voice, but you are screaming far too loud to hear me swear: just because I left doesn't mean that I'm not still there." and " 'How could you leave me here?' You scream/ and louder I'll scream back from I don't know/ 'I know you're strong enough, I know you're strong enough, I know you're strong enough to do this on your own.'"

Maria: Stay, I Pray You from Anastasia (the musical)

I've talked about this before, I think, but this song so encapsulates her watching Ferelden fade into the distance from a ship bound for Kirkwall. Everything she's ever known, her sister's body, her home, her father's final resting place---gone. The grief of losing her homeland lies firmly under all the others until she goes back again someday. Thinking about Ferelden makes her feel an unshakeable sense of loss even years later.

Choice Lyrics: "You are all I know/you have raised me/ How to turn away?/ How to close the door?/ How to go where I have never gone before?"

Elowen: Queen of Nothing by The Crane Wives

This song taps into Elowen's imposter syndrome, the sneaking belief that everyone else knows that she is a fraud and she has already doomed herself in some looming, unknowable way. Deep down, she believes that she is not enough and it will eventually and inevitably hurt the people she cares for best.

Choice lyrics: "Like a moth in the night/ I'm desperate for a minute in theb light/ Cus everywhere that I go/ Something pulls me to the shadows/ And I'm trying not to get too close, but it's always there/ Saying my name, calling to me/ Isn't this what you wanted?/ Time sure feels like it's runing out/ Just finish what you started/ Queen of nothing/ Wearing such a heavy crown."

Emmaera: Chords by The Amazing Devil

For Emma, I think that she often gets caught on the knowledge that to love something is to have already lost it. Nothing lasts forever, but how do you love something even knowing that it will be lost? The thought of it fills her with a soft melancholy, and I think this song (which is about one's children leaving home at last) taps into that feeling.

Choice lyrics: "Pick your chords well, loves/ but sing your notes off-key/ You can't rehearse the chorus, but the verse is sweet/ And if your voice begins to crack, if you ever feel alone/ They might laugh because you're leaving, but know we'll sing your name when you come home."

Salshira: Neptune by Sleeping At Last

Salshira knows that she's intentionally presented a fragmented picture of herself to everyone else. She does this to keep her truest self safe, but it also means that it's really hard for others to really know her. In turn, she never really feels seen or known. I think this song is an uncomfortable mirror held up to those parts of her personality.

Choice lyrics: "I'm only honest when it rains/ If I time it right, the thunder breaks when i open my mouth/ I wanna tell you but I don't know how/ I'm only honest when it rains/ An open book with a torn-out page/ And my ink runs out/ I wanna love you but I don't know how"

6. a song that makes my muse want to dance

Arianwen: Scary World by Night Club (backup, Beautiful is Boring by BONES UK)

Wen is easily the most graceful of my OCs, but I think she probably gravitates to music she can grind or headbang to. In her modern AU, she is very much into music you can feel with your whole body.

Maria: Dance the Night by Dua Lipa (and a backup, Universe by Ambar Lucid)

Maria is very good at formal, structured dances (she's an excellent partner for the waltz, for example) but she's awful at anything free-form, so I want you to imagine her with her hands over her head, flailing to both of these songs. Gorgeous woman laughing her head off doing the most ungraceful dance moves known to Thedas.

Elowen: Labyrinth by Miracle Musical

It wouldn't be her if even a song she would dance to wasn't also about being trapped in a maze of your own making lol (but I picture Elowen's dancing as lots of shoulder work and rhythmic swaying, maybe the occasional gesture of her hands if she's really feeling the lyrics)

Emmaera: Magic by Juniper Vale

For a nice little "spontaneously slow-dancing in the kitchen" moment with her love

Salshira: How to Be a Heartbreaker by Marina

I rest my case

[havetoomanyfandoms]

🎶✨when u get this, list 5 songs u like to listen to, publish. then, send this ask to 10 of your favorite followers (positivity is cool)🎶✨

hope you're fine and healthy and happy<3

Ooh okay let's see... here's some I've been listening to recently, in no particular order:

She Doesn't Sleep by Anthony Amorim - I like the vibes and rhythm of this one! Also its fun to listen to while walking

Graveyard by Halsey - I was obsessed with this a few years back and came across it again, so bonus points for nostalgia?

Welly Boots by The Amazing Devil - I've been on a The Amazing Devil kick lately- I'd say this is my favorite even though I can't listen to it too often, but I love most of their stuff

False Confidence by Noah Kahan - I first heard this in a Sean Lew and Kaycee Rice dance practice video and its been a comfort song ever since

Boş Yapma by Zeynep Bastık - I wanted to end on a fun note! Also this song reminds me of a friend and that's probably why I like it so much

Well, this is an interesting list fjskf thank you!! A lot has been going on over here but I'm fine, not in the affected area. I hope you're doing well too <3

Little life update

The past couple of weeks have been… rough over here but I’m finally on the other side of the hill

To start off I sprained my knee after it being ok for a year which was honestly devastating

(To put in context I do 6-8 dance classes a week + gym 3ish times a week + flexibility training)

So I was a bit lost without that routine. I also felt like shit because I couldn’t move, and I was struggling to sleep and focus because exercise - especially dance - is something I find hugely grounding. My eating habits were also… dubious (I think I’ve consumed more chocolate in the past week than I have in the past month)

To top this off my laptop simply stopped turning on. I’ve tried to get it to repairs but they simply can’t figure out what it is and why it only intermittently turns on.

Which has meant a lot of wasted time go in and out of city centre trying to get people to look at it, and also means I cannot get any work done at home, having to use a uni computer

Which isn’t the end of the world as I’m in there a lot, but combined with the difficulty to focus and the added constant anxiety (some other small stuff also going on in the background), it means that it’s been difficult to just keep up with uni.

BUT I’ve made it to reading week and have come home for a short week. I’m already feeling calmer being in a more quiet environment (sans messy flatmates)

Tomorrow morning, I’m planning to head out for a long walk in the hills. No matter the weather (I will be taking wellies). I’m so excited, I feel like this is exactly what my brain needs

And my knee is finally mostly ok, so I’m going to use this week to get back in the grove of things

I think the most difficult thing about this was that I was genuinely thriving before, my dance skills had improved massively, I’m stronger and healthier than I’d ever been, uni work was going well and I’m more confident and outgoing than I’ve ever been. I felt as if 7 year old me would look up to me. And then the rug felt a bit pulled from under my feet. But recognising that it’s all part of life, and I’m still that same person who will always try her best.

ALSO I’ve made friends with the cleaner and the barista at the uni cafe and it makes me day. I look forward to our chats every morning and it’s so wonderful to be excited about saying hi to someone

[a-little-bit-of-leafeon]

"Well, well, welly-well, well. Look at who hast made it this far! Welcome to the Grey Domain, my friend. I, Looney the Grey Guardian, am very proud of you for making it this far. You have made it past Fury and her Hellhounds, Louie and his army of goons, Chatterbox and her demented game show, Ivy and her haunted forest, Sharky and her mind-controlled spirits, Widow and her army of ghouls, Flamingo and their eldritch form and now we're here... Now, methinks that you are quite scared of my dragons but fret not, They do not bite. But be warned, this clash gets quite explosive! Now let us make like time, and do an eternal dance called war!"

Drew Looney bc he's a demented, medieval, clown boy and I love it. @jeweledstone

Week ending: 31th October

Well, we've hit something frightening, and just in time for Halloween! This song might not be explicitly spooky, but there's a frenzied mania to it, a horny-knife-wielding-psycho kind of energy that you can still feel today. Heavens knows what this one felt like in 1957...

Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On - Jerry Lee Lewis (peaked at Number 8)

Well, we've just come off one track about having a wild party, and now we've got another one up to some pretty much identical tricks. Except while I accused Elvis of goofing it up to make himself seem more harmless, Jerry here seems to be doing his level best to make himself seem more wild and dangerous, a confirmed threat to wives and daughters across the land!

Part of this is simply due to the speed and sonic rawness of the track - if you thought Elvis was ramping up the speed, you ain't heard nothing yet. The song runs on this untiring, thumping boogie-woogie piano bassline, livened up by all sort of trills and runs, and a drum beat that just doesn't let up. The drums are strangely recorded, muffled and not as crisp as they could be, and at one point in the middle of the song, Jerry shouts a let's go and the drums take over, together with the piano, suddenly playing at double speed, along with a piano that's suddenly gone absolutely insane and a brief bit of properly scuzzy-sounding guitar that's notable mostly because it's the only bit of guitar in an otherwise piano-driven song. It's rockabilly thumpiness at its best and least subtle, an absolute screaming mess.

In the face of this instrumental battery, the song's lyrics are barely relevant. It's a cover of a Big Maybelle R&B song, and Jerry does a good job of it, giving it plenty of welly where he needs to, especially in the lines at the start, where he encourages his love to come on over, baby, whole lotta shakin' goin' on, but there's not a whole lot more than that, not at first.

Then we get downright risqué in the middle, as Jerry's voice drops to a low, lustful purr, telling some imaginary lady that all you gotta do, honey, is kinda stand in one spot / Wiggle around just a little bit / That's what you gotta do. And then we get a whole load of lines that are basically just shake it, babe, shake it. Up until this point, I'd kind of assumed that the "shakin" in the title just meant partying, but there's no mistaking it, Elvis might be happy to just dance the night away, but when Jerry tells you to "make it shake", he means something much less innocent than a teen dance party.

Amusingly, a producer apparently told Jerry to tone this down. Which he evidently didn't, and I can't say that the end result is any the worse for it. But yeah, I can see this raising eyebrows. The lack of control in the playing, the messiness of the recording, the innuendo of it all, the outright wild changes in dynamic and tempo. It's dynamite, punk rock before its time. I don't, for all that, love it, but I like that it managed to do this well for itself, in all its chaotic glory.

Yeah, we've had a few weeks of chaotic little rock numbers, but honestly, I can't see this one being topped for a while, just in terms of wild energy. It will be interesting to see how artists respond - are we entering into an arms race of ever-increasing sexiness and thumpiness? Or is somebody going to come along to tone it down? I've no idea, but I'm excited to find out.

Favourite song of the particularly messy bunch: Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On
