#also i truly do not want the Jax War i described to happen. i like him *because* he’s terrible but i don’t mind other ppl’s takes on him

[eldritch-muppetshow]

my tadc fanon predictions (none of these really have anything to do with how i think the plot of the series will play out, just how the fandom will react)

1. at least one of the ships established after the pilot episode will not last through the series run— whether that’s because other, better options for ships come up now that there’s more characters to work with, or because one character does something so atrocious to another that the fandom mostly abandons the idea of them being a couple. (i say mostly because there’s always gonna be a few people who stick onto ships after reveals/canon occurrences like this)

2. jax has been stated a number of times by gooseworx herself to be a horrible, immoral person and so far we don’t have much canon material saying otherwise— but there will be a massive, fanon-wide schism about his characterization when he does something horrible and immoral in-series. people will start tagging jax’s pilot characterization and his series characterization as two separate characters. there will be arguments over which is the “true” jax and which version people should stick to when making fan content of him. he will be separated into a Sweet Little Guy and a Gangly Mean Bastard even though they’re basically the same guy at different points in time. people will ship these two versions together. it will be a bloodbath.

3. i actually don’t have any more, i just wanted to post my terrifying hypothetical for jax lol

The Most Powerful Storms (are named after women)

For LoT Ladies week, @incendiaglacies and I give you a mini fic of the ladies in this verse.

AO3

The stares people gave her whenever she entered a room were something she’d long grown accustomed to. A black woman as an agent of the SSR was surprising to many people. They underestimated her, so she used it to her advantage. That was why she had climbed so high in the ranks. Her skill had gotten her to where she was today, and she took great pride in that.

              Project Rebirth was supposed to be just another assignment for her during the war. It ended up becoming so much more than that. She took on an even greater role in the war than she ever thought she would. Then Rex became lost a few months before the war ended. She moved to an SSR office in New York, still grieving as she faced an office full of men who refused to stop looking down on her. Their opinion didn’t matter though, for she knew her own value.

It took a few friends from the war and an idea that truly made her a legacy.

              The SSR would not last forever. With colleagues from Project Rebirth and the war, she worked with them to make something build to stand and last. An organization willing to intervene, enforce, and defend the world from enemies like the Red Skull or worse. It would span across science, communications, and operations. All it needed was a director.

Amaya Jiwe stepped forth to take that role as the first director of SHIELD, setting an unspoken tradition that all future leaders of the organization would be women.

              One in a million was how she could be described. There had always been potential, but it had been marred by rebelliousness. Committing to SHIELD made her finally accept a direction in her life. It gave her a reason to fight. While she showed brilliance in sciences, the field was her true calling and where she found herself thriving. She made a name for herself and rose through the levels, eventually ending up with an assignment to work on the Avengers Initiative. No one was surprised by that given she had made contact with almost all of them.

It was that mission that got her killed.

              When she was resurrected, they told her she had been gone for seven seconds. Secretly, she knew it had been longer and kept extending the time to prove a point. The higher-ups gave her a team of her own to lead and mobile operations base to travel wherever they were needed for a case. Two scientists, a specialist, and her best friend joined her on the mission, soon followed by a hacktivist who was caught up in their first mission. Everything seemed perfect, save for the growing mystery surrounding how she came back.

              The truth about her resurrection shocked her to her core. Once she thought she had started come to terms with it, its ugly head reared again when Zee was shot. Every time she came face to face with what she already knew, it became even worse. Despite the horrors, she persisted in getting to the bottom of what had happened to bring her back. She would not stop until she found out everything.

Then the world turned upside down and Gideon Rider found herself pointing a gun at the person she thought she could trust the most.

              She grew up bouncing around from home to home, never staying longer than three months in one place. By the time she was sixteen, she ran away and never looked back. She gave herself a new name and learned how to hack computers once she realized she had a knack for figuring them out. Her prowess and skill were enough to catch the attention of Helix, and then the people she’d been determined to find- SHIELD.

               Despite always keeping people at an arm’s length, she found acceptance among Gideon and her team. Helping an old friend nearly got her kick off until she confessed to the lead agent why she had tried to find SHIELD in the first place. After that, she threw herself into all her training because now she wanted to become an agent, not just to find her parents. SHIELD was starting to become her future.

Everything seemed to be going great until Gideon told her why SHIELD had a file on her.

              The last 084 she had seen turned out to be a weapon powered by an extraterrestrial energy and had blown a hole in the Waverider. They were dangerous objects that also tended to be deadly. Finding out that she was an 084 in SHIELD’s eyes terrified her to her core. Ray wasn’t helpful when he told he wouldn’t want to meet one after she casually asked him about 084s being people. Hearing it from him made her even more scared of what she could become.

As she laid bleeding out on a basement floor, Zee tried to comfort herself by thinking if she died, then there would be one less dangerous thing in the world.

              By SHIELD standards, she was soft. Her skin bore no scars from training or missions and nightmares never haunted her. It was her brilliant mind that got the attention of SHIELD, followed by Ray Palmer. Once they met, they became inseparable and ended up working in a SHIELD facility together after failing their field assessments. However, she wanted to see more of the world beyond the walls of a lab. When Gideon Rider offered the two of them the chance to work on a mobile facility, she and Ray jumped at the chance.

              The new life with the team and the cases they tackled was thrilling. However, it also exposed how cold and unkind the world could really be. There had been many a talk at the Academy of how science could be used nefarious purposes rather than for the greater good. Hearing about it was one thing, but seeing it in the form of Mirakuru was another thing entirely. She didn’t think science could get any scarier.

That was before she was infected with an alien virus and nearly died before an antiserum was administered to her.

              She tried to stay kind and sweet like she had been before the team, but it was becoming more difficult. There were secrets that she had to start keeping, something that she struggled with. The serum that had brought their team leader back from the dead and healed Zee after she’d been shot was barred from being put on any official records by Gideon herself. But science was not for secrets and when she got the chance to go to the Hub ahead of the rest of the team, Ray encouraged her to go so she could use the equipment there to investigate the mysterious serum. So she did, and promised her best friend she would inform him of the results as soon as she could.

Hours later, Lily Stein was given an ultimatum: join Hydra’s ranks or die an agent of SHIELD.

              SHIELD meant a lot of things to her. It was standing in front of the world as a soldier to defend it from the much weirder world. SHIELD was her sister fighting by her side whenever they were assigned to missions together. The Canary Sisters was the legacy they created day by day and she loved it. Yet SHIELD also meant her having to leave her husband when the operation she married him during ended. Still, SHIELD was her life.

              Then the Hydra uprising happened. She and Laurel made it through after they banded with another agent named Jax. They came across another group of SHIELD agents who had been truly loyal to the organization. Agent Bennett believed that they could rebuilt SHIELD, but it would need to be different- a board of directors with more eyes to watch for corruption than one single person overseeing everything. When they had enough resources, their SHIELD would arise from the ashes to crush Hydra for good.

The sisters were sent to investigate a rogue SHIELD cell with Jax and then were all split apart from there.

              She was sent to Hydra to go undercover as an operative while Laurel sought out more recruits for Gideon Rider that would eventually go on to become agents of the real SHIELD. During the time she was away, Laurel was killed. As much as she wanted to go to the funeral, she risked blowing her cover, something Laurel would have scolded her for if she did. So she kept her distance, grieving alone while keeping an eye of the agent Gideon had sent into Hydra as a spy on their science division. Eventually, Lily’s cover was blown, so she had to break her own cover to get the scientist out and back to the rogue SHIELD.

One could only imagine Sara Lance’s surprise after she arrived at the rogue SHIELD base and found her ex-husband among the agents there.

              By all outward appearances, she was normal and ordinary. It was a description she agreed and was perfectly fine with. She bounced around the country with her family, growing up a military brat. Unlike her parents, the army life was not for her. Archaeology was her passion and niche. Throughout college she followed that love, which eventually took her to Africa and into Egypt.

It was there that she learned she was more extraordinary than she even knew.

              The day it happened, she had been off work for a week. Earlier that day, she had gone to the store and picked up some groceries for dinner along with some other items. The rest of her afternoon was relaxing as she spent her free time reading and doing a few chores. Halfway through it, she took a fish oil supplement to deal with the period pain she’d been having.

              It wasn’t even a minute after she took the pill that a black substance appeared on her hands and started to spread and coat the rest of her body. She’d panicked and froze as the substance hardened around her entire body like a shell. A few minutes later, it began to crumble away from her face and hands enough for herself to break free. There was something different about her though. She felt as if something had been unlocked inside her.

Only hours later did Kendra Saunders discover that what had happened to her in that afternoon made her so fast that the world slowed to a near halt.

Artist: Miranda Easten

New Release: Stars And Dreams

Genre: Pop

Located in:  Christchurch City, New Zealand

This song reminds me of warm Summer nights spent star-gazing with good company. The music I am creating at the moment is therapeutic and honest. I'm not afraid to write about how I am feeling or what's catching my soul on fire. My new album is a mixture of biographical lyrics as well as observations I've made about current events or people and stories I've heard of.

I create music because... creating something from nothing makes me happy. I love how I can start the day with a blank piece of paper and by mid-afternoon I have created something tangible and shareable. After the music is created I will put it out there and move onto the next creation right away. I would be quite lost without a pen, paper, and guitar!

Next... I am currently recording my debut album (and several music videos) with some amazingly talented musicians and good friends. I feel very blessed to do what I love every day.

Artist: CEEM

New Release: Remedy

Genre: Electro Pop

Sounds like: Black Coffee

Located in: Seattle, Washington

This release is important as it's the final single before the release of the full-length Cruel World on Oct 18th. The main theme of Cruel World is a moody and brooding blend of pop and electronica, and as an artist, the project was inspired by so many losses from 2016.

'Remedy' is a sequel to another song I wrote called 'Unbreakable' written in response to living through the 2016 terrorist attack in Nice France on Bastille day. Coming back from that trip feeling shattered and confused, the song helped put his life back together. 

As cathartic and healing as writing Unbreakable was, he still felt that need to face his ultimate fear and go back to the scene of the crime. I went back to Nice July 2019 for Bastille day, alone this time, and retraced the steps and the horror that took place. I wanted to go back and finish writing Cruel World, but for the first four days I was there, the words wouldn’t come, there was some sort of glitch in my brain. I would put pen to paper and write but nothing felt authentic or genuine until I made it through Bastille day.

Artist: A Permanent Shadow

New Release: Now

Genre: Indie, electronic, rock, synthpop, eighties

Sounds like: David Bowie, Moby, John Grant, Peter Gabriel, LCD Soundsystem

Located in: Barcelona, Spain

The music we are creating is... thoughtful, deep, dark yet optimistic, powerful, beautiful, catchy, hopeful, and uplifting. "Now" is a carpe diem song with which we've written a note to ourselves and other people to stop worrying about the future and thinking about the past. Life is happening NOW and we should take it by the horns and be happy.

Music is what I think about 83% of the time...

It's what I've always wanted to do and one of the very few things in life that give me total fulfillment. I adore the creative process. It is an absolute joy to write a song and then record it in the studio and observe how it is gaining shape. Apart from being a musician, I am also a fervent music fan. I never grow tired of discovering new bands and digging deeper into the catalogs of the real greats.

Right now we are...

We have just launched our first album "Songs of Loss" which the song "Now" can be found on. We are busy with promotion and also are preparing a one-off live show to be webcast soon.

Artist: Sleuth

New Release: Empty Room

Genre: Genre: Electronica, sub-genre: techno/trance.

Sounds like: Nine Inch Nails, Tori Amos, Portishead

Located in:  Portland, Victoria, Australia

'Empty Room' has recently been described by one reviewer as an ‘experience.’ This song takes the listener inside my journey to a time when I was feeling extremely frustrated and angry. I’d tried to convince a potential colleague that I was a decent person after they had openly condemned me to others. They had stonewalled me for months because I was viewed as a competitor. Yet stupidly I’d kept trying, and kept getting shut down repeatedly in the face of their ‘solo show’. I couldn’t understand why they couldn’t see the same potentials that I could, or see that my intentions were good. The truth was of course that they just didn’t want to! 

This song came from the ultimate realization that I couldn’t do anything about their lack of belief in my character or vision, despite having given up so much of myself to prove ‘there’s somehow sunlight breaking through’. 

I am someone who resonates strongly with the story of the Phoenix rising from the ashes, never destroyed by the fire, so much so that I have a large Phoenix tattooed all over my back. 

This song is a declaration of finally understanding the game that was being played, as well as a cathartic expression of rage, war, and victory. Empty Room draws very vivid musical images for the listener.

The Album...

'Empty Room' was released as part of my debut album Umbra Anima - meaning Shadows and Light. The album is a celebration of both the lighter and darker elements of my journey - not everything that we experience is pretty or aesthetically pleasing to all, but that doesn’t mean that it shouldn’t teach us, or have value, or be recognized and celebrated. Those sentiments of the album are perhaps best expressed in my song Empty Room - a song about blazing defiantly in spite of others’ negativity and fear.

Artist: Nathan Lewis Thomas

New Release: The Melody

Genre: Pop: Singer-Songwriter / Alternative Pop

Sounds like:  Hozier / John Mayer / James Bay / Tom Misch

Located in:  Warrington, Cheshire, United Kingdom

This song is an exploration of the idea of music as a form of escapism. The Melody's stomping rhythm, rich vocal harmonies, and catchy hooks are sure to draw you in.

The music I am creating is the result of years spent honing my sound to find a style that truly represents what I'm about musically. I love compositions with a strong harmonic arrangement and I like to think that I have incorporated that into my first release.

I do this because I love it! I am very lucky to be able to work as a musician as my profession, but my work involves performing covers. As musicians will know, there is nothing like expressing yourself through your music and I am no different, which is why I have decided to release some of my material as an exciting side project to my work.

Right now I am recording my second single which will be out in December. I can't wait for people to hear my second offering.

New Release: Enough Love

Genre: reggae, dancehall, afro,

Sounds like: WIZKID, DAVIDO, KOFFEE,SIZZLA, VYBZ KARTEL, MOVADO,ALKALINE, AKON

Located in: Roseau , Common Wealth of Dominica, West Indies 767

This song was written based on the name of the beat. The beat was named 'Enough Love' so I tried to see where those two words appeared most in my life, and most of those times were in relationships, where my other half would ask me questions like, baby how much do you love me? Baby on a scale of 1-10 how much do you love me? But I would always answer her with, Baby please tell me how much love is enough? Cause there is no such thing as Enough Love or Too Much Love, when you are in a relationship with someone no amount of Love is too much or Enough. There is no such thing as Enough Love so I wrote this song based on this concept of Enough Love.

My direction is to showcase the music from my country to the world and keep on adding to my countries Arts and Culture by creating good songs and keeping the vibe positive. The music I am creating for fans right now is tailored more to things that they can relate to. Music that they can listen to and feel the lyrics and vibe to the melody and rhythm.

I do this because...

I was born into the first-ever music store on the island. My dad had a studio at home and a studio at this store, so while my mom was pregnant I was already listening to music while I developed as a baby in her stomach. I recorded my first song when I was 8, but I was recording myself on cassette way before then. I love making music for my friends, fans and to represent my country. What I love most about performing is making a connection with the crowd and watching them engage while I sing my lyrics. My inspiration comes naturally. I am inspired by all the things going on around me.

Right now we are...

 I'm currently working on a script for the Enough Love Official Music Video to be recorded sometime next month. To subscribe to my youtube channel so you can get notified as soon as it drops.

Artist: Spontaneous Groovin' Combustion

New Release: Spy vs Spy

Genre: Contemporary Jazz

Sounds like:  Down To The Bone, Fourplay, Fattburger, Pieces Of A Dream

Located in:  New York, NY

"Spy vs Spy" is the second single by Spontaneous Groovin' Combustion, a Contemporary/Smooth Jazz ensemble, led by saxophonist/flutist Warren Keller, featuring original, groove-oriented music. “Spy vs Spy” pays homage to the great TV theme songs of yesteryear- think 'The Man from U.N.C.L.E.' "Spy vs Spy” is driven by an infectious sax and flute line that will have you boppin'! Though you might be looking over your shoulder to make sure you're not being followed!

We try to straddle the line between C-Jazz and Funk. "Spy vs Spy" compliments our debut single, "Kickin" It," also from 2019, in establishing the 'Spontaneous Groovin' Combustion Sound.' We want our tunes to be fun, yet provocative and slightly different than the rest- not just background music!

Right now, we're most excited about having locked-in the next single campaign, going for adds in February 2020. Early next year, we'll release that single #3 (TBD), hopefully, to even better results than the first two records achieved!

Artist: Suniil Bhatia (Artist)/ Sound Machine (Band)

New Release: Kahani Sunil (I'm stuck in here)

Genre: Indie Hip Hop with Poetry Rap and shades of Rock Music

Located in: : Mumbai

Kahani Suno means 'Hear a story' in in English. The song is about the artist and can be relatable to any individual as its about the trials, tribulations and struggles which an individual goes through in life. In a brief translation, the song says "Hear my story which is about aspirations, struggles, sadness, times of feeling lost in the journey of life, destiny and moving on with hopes of getting a new dawn"

This music is part of an ongoing album called 'Yeh Din' which means 'These Days' in English.

One can convey one's thoughts and emotions through words and music. Performing is the way to communicate ones songs and if people are able to relate to them, the work of an artist is done. Living a life of ones dreams is the only thing which pushes us to do what we do. Am still doing what I'm doing accordingly.

Right now I am working on more songs to complete the Album.

Artist: Bucket Boys

New Release: Won't you be

Genre: Pop music, Adult contemporary, Roots, Fifties

Located in: Mönchengladbach, NW, Germany

If you’re a fan of the 50’s sound, check out the Bucket Boys. The latest songs of the BUCKET BOYS, published in autumn 2019, are the construction box to build all kinds of stories dealing with love and hate. We have songs between yesterday and tomorrow, nice and naughty, sick & sicker.

If you’re looking for an unrealistic illustration of LOVE'N'HATE, you’ll find all you need in this sound from Rock'n'Roll to Country, from Roots to Desert-Rock. The songs are inspired by a different kind of backyard-romance and desire, tequila-driven fantasies and even all imaginable varieties of love and hate.

I do this because...

I love concerts, The Bucket Boys are still on the road. To feel dust and sweat on their skin, burnin’ heat in one hell of a night. An endless landscape of desert’s sand and burnin’ darkness in their eyes. With Tequila-driven fantasies, a taste of backyard-romance and dirty desire, are they looking for their lucky chance.

This mixture of rock’n’roll and country, roots and desert-rock, it makes them happy and is the ultimate soundtrack of a never-ending road-movie.

The Bucket Boys are promoting their new album "Love'n'Hate" and play live on the "up to honey hill-tour".

Artist: Cabela and Schmitt

New Release: I Pray For You

Genre: Rock/Pop Ballad

Sounds like: The Beatles, Tom Petty, Imagine Dragons, Coldplay

Located in: Nebraska and Colorado

Cabela and Schmitt are an alternative to classic rock. Our influences come from decades of listening to great music. The song is about a couple who gave up too early. The sadness and turmoil of a love gone wrong tearing apart two hearts that give it all up before true love is achieved. And you pray that it will all work out.

This song is track eleven on our newly released album DANCING SHOES. The music comes from our souls. It's an absolute part of us.

Right now we are gearing up for the holiday season with some original Christmas songs. Also, we have been setting our goals and preparing for 2020. Lots of good marketing ideas are flowing.
