the nomad and the horrors

thank you to everyone who sent a reply or ask from my little rant yesterday afterwork. it was refreshing to listen to different music. special mention to anon who recommended yves tumor, young the giant (which was very nostalgic), and @daydreamingofausten for cecillia... i used to love screaming this song when riding my bike around town.

i haven't done this in a few years now, but this was my eventual playlist for the night. i put this together on youtube today because i don't have spotify but you get the idea! also in response to @dogboyrevenge tagging a few weeks (?) ago...sorry it has taken so long!

Elo as dogs. Who’s what?

Ooo! Okay now this is perhaps one of the most interesting asks I have ever received!

So, I’m going to assign the seven men different breeds of dogs I feel suit them the best, and I’ll assign the dogs personalities and behaviors that would resemble them to the best of my ability Tumblr-style hahaha. I’m going to create dog “OCs” and I’ll give them lore and I’ll describe how their lives are like basically.

I haven’t owned a dog before as I’m a cat person so I’m not too well versed in their personalities, but I have been around them a lot since I have family members that have them, and, I know for sure, that like us humans, they are all unique and diverse in their personalities, behaviors, and overall moods. I’m neutral to them, but I will pet and hang out with them if I get the chance. (The only breed I really like though are Pomeranians).

Jeff Lynne:

Jeff Lynne would be a miniature poodle. They’re slightly small, have fur around their round muzzles, and just look like him. (Standard poodles are more reminiscent of Brian May from Queen with their large, tall statures and long thin faces if I’m being honest lol)

This dog is very shy and quiet. Sometimes he can be finicky and moody, but that’s just because he tends to be reserved as that’s just simply how he is. Still, he’s a pretty nice and chill pet, and likes to play with tennis balls at times. For some odd reason he really, really likes music from the Beatles, Roy Orbison, and Del Shannon. He is also attracted to items that are the color blue. (All of his dog toys are blue and will growl if you give him one that isn’t blue) He hates the rain, is scared of thunder/lightning storms, and therefore he loves sunny, blue-skied days. He is also sensitive to fluorescent lights at times. He also is obsessed with model trains and is always eager to watch them go around and around. When he rides in cars, he actually enjoys getting stopped by trains and wags his tail happily as the warning lights go off, the barricades go down (if you stop at those specific types of crossings with him) and the train passes through. He dreams of riding in one someday (hopefully in trains that allow dogs haha)

Bev Bevan:

Bev Bevan would be a chocolate labrador. They are large, have wide square-shaped faces, and have brown fur. They also appear large and stocky, like Bev.

This dog is usually reserved and kind, but sometimes he can be very mischievous and likes to pull pranks. He also has a pretty deep sounding bark. He cares about his and other people and pets health, and is very protective of those he cares for. Despite his large size, he doesn’t like fighting and is usually friendly. He can be a bit ornery at times for fun though. He despises snakes and enjoys being around other large dogs. He’s also pretty friendly with dog!Jeff.

Kelly Groucutt:

Similar to Jeff, Kelly would be a poodle. But, since this individual was short in real life, and his hair was a bit shorter, he would specifically be a toy poodle—as they are smaller than miniature poodles—.

This dog is high energy. Like, very high energy. He barks a lot and moves around a lot. He has a very high pitched loud bark. He plays with dog toys all the time and loves to collect them. He likes climbing things and does what ever he can to release his never ending energy. He is super friendly and sweet and loves company. He doesn’t mean any harm and sometimes causes things to break due to his high energy levels. He is also a huge animal lover and is kind to all animals, especially foxes. A very small, lovely, and extroverted pet.

Richard Tandy:

Richard would be a golden retriever. Their fluffy golden blonde fur and reputation for being loyal just scream “Richard Tandy as a dog”.

This dog is very loyal and trustworthy. He is very well-behaved, as well as quiet, though he does have a very low pitched bark, slightly lower than dog!Bev. He usually likes being alone, and enjoys watching tv, especially sports channels. He does struggle with sports but he really likes partaking in them. Still, he is super hardworking and enjoys doing things for people. He usually has a relaxed facial expression and isn’t one to get aggressive, he is very much a hippie haha. He also likes piano music and sometimes attempts to play the piano and it’s just so endearing to watch him do that. He also likes hanging around with dog!Jeff and dog!Bev.

Mik Kaminski:

Mik would be a bearded collie. Just look at an image of Mik, and then at an image of a bearded Collie, and look back at that image of Mik and you’ll know what I’m talking about. The “beard” of the dog just reminds me of Mik’s as it’s not curly yet it’s also smoothed and curved. Also, the small, round yet slightly narrow eyes the dog breed has also remind me of Mik’s eyes for some reason.

This dog, similar to dog!Jeff, is very shy. I’d say even more shy than dog!Jeff. He’s also pretty quiet, similar to dog!Richard. He is also well-behaved and doesn’t cause any problems. He likes the sound of violin music and sometimes likes to bite the violin bow and attempt to play the violin himself. He absolutely loves being around horses and is very smart and calculating. He is very timid and gets scared easily. If you are a stranger to him, be very careful not to scare him or he’ll run away and hide. Despite their contrasting behaviors, he and dog!Kelly are best friends and love hanging out. I guess it’s because they’re both friendly towards each other.

Hugh McDowell:

Hugh McDowell would be an Irish Settler. They have long, flowing fur that reminds me of his long, slightly wavy hair style from the early 70s, and they’re also tall and thin. Their fur also has like a reddish color which reminds me of some Hugh photos where the lighting makes his hair reddish even though it’s actually a blonde-ish brown(?). They also have square shaped, defined muzzles, with far apart eyes.

This dog, like dog!Kelly, is very hyperactive. He loves running around and bites trees and plants a lot for fun. He’s also somewhat nocturnal, he enjoys staring at the night sky. He loves being wild, and sometimes knocks things down in a mischievous way. He can also get moody at times but deep down is very sweet. He also does things to make people laugh. Also, he really loves snakes, especially boas. He likes to make sure they remain safe and is protective of any snake he comes across. He’s really brave in that sense. He also gets really sad when he tries to find snakes but ends up not finding any haha. He really enjoys hanging around dog!Melvyn and dog!Mik. He also likes the color purple and enjoys wearing suits fitted for dogs lol. He also loves messing around with cellos and biting them haha. Rarely he can be seen trying to play them! But sometimes he breaks them by accident. Classical music really interests him.

Melvyn Gale:

Melvyn would be a regular collie. Just—the feathery, long, caramel colored fur of this breed with those friendly doe-eyes and the perpetual permanent smile collies have just remind me of Melvyn.

This dog is friendly. Very friendly. Unfortunately, some might think he’s overly-friendly. But who cares? He’s a really sweet dog, and just happens to be very vocal. He enjoys hugs and attention. He does bark and make noise a lot, but he doesn’t mean to irritate or annoy anyone, he just really likes to communicate verbally and loves people! He enjoys being around them and likes being their friend and socializing with them, like a stereotypical friendly dog! He loves other dogs and cats as well. He really likes hanging out with dog!Hugh and is practically his best friend. He also really likes cars and planes. He loves car rides and wants to ride on planes as well. Like dog!Hugh he also enjoys cellos and sometimes attempts to play them. He likes classical music and enjoys listening to it.

Thank you so much for this ask @stephi1is1awesome! I’m glad to broadcast my dog headcannons for ELO!

@wilbury-sam take a look at this! My dog ELO headcannons are here!

OH MY GOD AAAAA

ok so i just started reading rhapsody in blue and can i just say… as a person who’s in school to be a musician (and also loves codywan) i’m already loving it!! i’m so curious about how you managed the level of accuracy. are you a professional musician??

THANK YOU!!!! You're too kind!! I'm so glad you're enjoying it, that fic in particular is close to my heart, so it means a lot!!

Also so cool that you're in music school! I'm not a professional musician, but I minored in music in college and so a couple of my friends are, so I tried to draw on my own knowledge and their experiences to keep it accurate. Music has always been an important part of my life and I did consider music school, but ultimately chose something else! But I still do music as a beloved hobby, and I sing in weddings as a side hustle. I also play in a community orchestra now just for fun, and my parents are in it too lol, so it's a fun family thing for us now!

I loved writing Rhapsody in Blue because it was kind of a love letter to that side of my life, and it was so fun to write!! It always means a lot to hear from people who have read it, so thank you so very much for the kind words :'))))

[theresa-of-liechtenstein]

instead of working on my assignments or my lesson planning or anything really productive i attempted to teach myself a korngold song using only a piano accompaniment off youtube and an online keyboard

[supercantaloupe]

was thinking about this in my lesson this morning, how it’s really common for woodwind players to have multiple instruments. like i have two oboes in addition to my english horn but not even including other instruments like EH or d’amore, most oboists i know (especially professionals) will have two or three or more. i know flute and clarinets who’re the same way but i have no idea if it’s A Thing for string or brass players too

[daily-tally-hall-music]

Day 10! We have Lemons and Pears from Sketches 3D! Fun fact! This song was originally made for the Toy Orchestra! Also, the Toy Orchestra version of this song appeared in a Tally Hall video - "Misfortune"!

Happy day 10!

Fun In The Sun: Orlando 2024

New Post has been published on https://esonetwork.com/fun-in-the-sun-orlando-2024/

Fun In The Sun: Orlando 2024

Fun In The Sun: Orlando 2024 is the 14th episode of the HAVE COFFEE WILL TRAVEL Podcast.

Our 2024 Orlando and Grand Rapids vacation. Every day is an adventure. Join us as we break down each day’s events into small, bite-size chunks.What did we do? Where did we go? Who did we see?

Day 1: Crazy weather travel day. Our 4 hour drive took us 6 hours. Our Allegiant flight was delayed. We made it to Orlando, had dinner and went for a walk around our resort neighbourhood.

Day 2. Sunday shopping. Picked up groceries for the week at Walmart. Went for breakfast at IHOP. The coffee was gross. The food was just OK. Thrifting in Kissimmee is lackluster. The flea markets are sad and all the same. We finished the day with a bath, drinking wine and reading.

Day 3. Monday adventures. Orlando’s Vineland outlets. Batmobile Crocs. Disney Springs desserts and the Earl of Sandwich. Jollywood Nights was awesome. We got on Rise of the Resistance without any waiting. And we finally got to ride Slinky Dog. The fireworks were great the the good was fantastic.

Day 4. We went to the Lakeland Antique Mall. Lots of fun stuff to see. The time flew by. The layout and upkeep was awful. Too expensive for most things. The dessert we bought in Disney Springs yesterday from Amorette’s Patisserie was delicious.

Day 5. Wednesday was a shopping day. Davey’s Toys was a highlight. The Mercantile was a surprise find that we enjoyed. Acme Toy Warehouse was huge and had lots of vintage, but overpriced stuff. The Lindor store had the best Lindt chocolate. We got some bears at Goodwill and a few things from the Disney Character Warehouse.

Day 6. Orlando Beer Spa. Thursday was mainly about relaxation.

Day 7. Bishop’s birthday. A paddle boat ride. Visiting with Jarman and Jolie and having a few games, drinks and laughs.

Final Entry. Wrapping up the weekend. Saturday was travel from Orlando to Grand Rapids. We checked out some antiques. Sunday was more antiques, the Lush store and TSO. The Trans Siberian Orchestra put on an amazing show. Staying at Spark by Hilton was something else. Not the worst hotel, but definitely could have been better. Fun In The Sun: Orlando 2024 is complete.

This week’s podcast promos: DragonCon Report, ES DCU, ES Trek, ES Who

Jason Todd x Single Mom!Reader

I've been plagued for many months now by the idea of jason todd x young single mom!reader. I literally made this blog this morning just to post this

this is so LONG try as i might to shorten it i've been itching to get all this out of me so enjoy this word vomit i might just make a full fic if i'm feeling extra frisky

You got pregnant in college, and now you’re fresh out of grad school moving to a new city with your 3 year old daughter

You got a job at Wayne Enterprises, leading an important new project. You and your colleagues are invited to the latest Wayne Gala, hosted at the billionaire’s own manor. All these years as a young mother and a student, you hadn’t any experience with such extravagance-- how could you say no?

the party lowkey sucks because it's all old rich people so you sneak out to a balcony where you find a young man drinking whiskey and texting on his phone.

he introduces himself as jason, and his hand is rough and calloused when you shake it, but it's warm and sends a tingle up your arm. (😏)

You chat about your work, he complains about the stuffiness of a life at Wayne Enterprises and you laugh when he warns you to get out while you can (he's joking, of course. not because he thinks it's worth staying but because if you leave he'd never be able to hear that adorable laugh again)

when you go off on a tangent about how excited you are for your project, he's not even listening anymore. the sheer passion that lights up your face has his mind going fuzzy and a full orchestra playing in the background

you're pulled back in before he can get your number :( he's so mopey all weekend he doesn't even have it in him to retaliate when damian makes fun of him for having pink pony club as his top song for this month :(

when you get home your email is flooded with warnings from other parents at your daughter's daycare about a lice scare?? okay, you think, she's definitely not going on monday, you can just bring her to work with you, right? what's the worst that could happen?

the following monday he just happens to show up at the office (He can't just stop by to say hi to his brother who he loves?) (tim calls security almost immediately)

you're not at your cubicle (in a meeting, your desk neighbor informs him) so he mills about the floor like a lost puppy just waiting for you to show up so he can "accidentally" run into you

the woman at the front desk has a chair pulled up next to hers where this little girl with pigtails is sitting, trying to console her as tears stream down her face

jason springs into action, kneeling in front of her chair to ask what's wrong

she just sniffles and holds up her stuffed animal, an elephant whose button eye has popped out, the woman watching her trying to get her to hand it over so she can sew it back on but she wont let go

he goes full grey's anatomy, fussing over the toy like it's in mortal peril and complimenting her for being so brave before gently asking if he can try to fix it

she lets him take it and he uses the woman's travel sewing kit to stitch it back on

she's ecstatic, leaping forward into his arms to give him a big hug

but now she won't let him leave because no he has to have a conversation with the elephant first and introduce himself and give it post-surgery care instructions and listen to it talk about how much she it wants a puppy and he feels like such an idiot talking to that thing but anything to make this little girl smile

she pulls a little picture book from the backpack hung on the back of her chair and asks him to read with her and he can't just say no!

so he plops down on the tile floor and starts reading out loud and even though she's standing next to him craning her neck to see the pictures he's a head taller than her

when you finish your meeting and head back to the front desk to thank gretchen for watching your kid the sight you see makes your heart absolutely melt

jason and your daughter are sitting criss-cross applesauce on the floor of Wayne Enterprises as he reads to her, and he's pulling out all the stops, he's doing voices, sound effects, and she's giggling so hard she can't sit up straight

but then they both finally notice you

"mommy!" she yells, running to you and wrapping herself around your leg

you're surprised to see him, but definitely not disappointed, and if what you just walked in on indicated anything, it was that you wanted, nay, needed this man

so now you're flushed and hopeful, mind running with possibilities of why he's here; could it be? he couldn't stop thinking about you either? he came all the way to ask you out?

but jason is also surprised, astounded even, by the miniature carbon copy clinging to your leg saying something about scooby snacks

he's freaking out on the inside

through a tight-lipped greeting he excuses himself with what he hopes is a neutral demeanor (spoiler alert: it's not) and goes home to think

and you obviously know exactly what that was about, one doesn't go through pregnancy at 19 without becoming well-acquainted with the whole catalogue of surprised/judgy reactions

of course you're a mess because the early/mid 20s dating scene is hard enough as it is but with a toddler? forget it, might as well just give up now

you go home to call your best friend and get drunk over face time while she assures you that men aint shit and offers to put a curse on him (you consider it, but how are you supposed to get a lock of his hair?)

he's up all night hating himself for being such an asshole and trying to come up with a scenario in which this works, in which he can have you in his life and also a child and be the red hood because he can't stop thinking about you

so then he just says fuck it and the next morning he shows up at your office with flowers and a puppy stuffed animal and finally asks you out
