"oooh you could never make a modern au of septimus heap none of the setup would ever happen in modern mundane world" WRONG. You should never leave Marcia and Silas alone to do an important task while they're a) emotionally riled up from their respective wives' going into labor b) deeply exhausted after a sleepless night and c) actively at each other's throat.

Cue a few years later when everyone is remarking on how little their angels look like them while they're like

...

...

....oh no.

Context: I didn't want to bother you in message considering everything but I did want to send this to you.

I was on Spotify, and this song came on, and it reminded me of Homelander and your various readers. Give it a try, and let me know what you think lol.

ohhhh i LOVE barns courtney!!!

If you want me, let me know You flip me like a domino Got ya hands all over my body But you're actin' like you don't want me Yeah, if you want me, let me know You're terrifin' beautiful Like a thunderbolt through my body It's enough to make me feel supernatural

the vibe of this song is perfect. specifically it reaaaally makes me think of Say It. the indecision, the thrill, the addiction to how someone like Homelander could make you feel, how addicted HE becomes to people... aaahh, thank you for the rec!

the journey i go on getting increasingly more invested in classical music is funny because now i recognize things... Tchaikovsky really just put out banger after banger after banger didn't he

🔥6 and 7?

lmao are you my Maedhros anon? sending me asks because you sense our shared distaste?

ok. VIOLENCE TIME.

6. which ship fans are the most annoying?

Russingon of course!!! Caveat that I used to enjoy Russingon greatly and I have many beloved mutuals who ship Russingon and I don't think you're annoying at all <<<333

But.

LMAO the fact that people are so insane about the ship that they'll take offense if it's included as a non-canon ship? To the point where there is at least one event where implying it's not canon is taboo? The fact that people seem to legitimately believe it was intentional subtext from Tolkien and any minimization of it is homophobic? 'Chrissy T straightwashed the Silm' is something I have read with my own two eyes (and it had more than zero notes). The fact that I think like 75% of the long fic about it has the most god awful pretentious (and incorrect) lore documents to go along with it? The fact that they tie themselves in knots making terrible arguments to explain why their relationship is OK in canon (which... why does it need to be OK in universe? forbidden love is sexy. and why do you care what Tolkien the very conservative oxford professor thought about your ship? and why do you care about what a random anon thinks about your ship? THEY ARE FICTIONAL IMMORTAL ROYALS OF AN INVENTED SPECIES MODELED AFTER MILLENIA-OLD EPICS. why would modern sentiments apply at all?) instead of 'Yeah they're fucking half-cousins deal with it, bitch.'

I will put down the knife now.

And then pick it back up, because

7. what character did you begin to hate not because of canon but because how how the fandom acts about them?

lololol OK, now I have to put Maedhros for this one. There are still a handful of people whose Maedhroses I'll read, but for the most part 'gentle giant who never meant to hurt anyone uwu' has completely turned me off the character.

Though gentle giant might be better than the full on incoherent takes I've seen. People sometimes seem to give him the most brutal, violent, callous characteristics while keeping the same 'poor Maedhros didn't mean to hurt anyone' overtones while not realizing that that is so much worse.

lol now putting down the knife for real.

[folklouire]

cold little heart. literally thee song of all time!!!! your taste is impeccable and though the tags were not meant for me I added all those songs to a new playlist and I will check them out immediately <33

yeeeeeesssss!!! i just discovered it from spotify and i loved it and then i found out there's a longer version and i like this one a lot too. this song sounds exactly like a summer evening/ dusk you know what i mean? and i loooooove when songs give me that exact feeling.

and OMG that's so sweet 🥹 i adore music and i adore sharing the music i love with other people and yeah of course it actually makes me happy you liked my recs and want to listen to them. hope you enjoy them 💝💝💝💝

[druidgroves]

there will be no rhyme or reason to the playlists btw i listen to a lot of diff stuff lmfao

[eoieopda]

nobody asked, but i’ve been getting more and more into girl groups lately, so you’ll be seeing more of them rb’d on this here blog.

idk why i am the way i am, but i start with one group and gradually add another once i’m well-versed in the previous one. i have to like…. fully 🤌🏻 marinate 🤌🏻 before exploring further? so yes, it has taken me an entire year of being into k-pop to immerse myself in a mere five (5) groups ☠️

3, 18, and 19 <:) happy new year!! (in advance)

happy advance new year aaaAAA!!!

3. Favorite musical artist / group you started listening to this year? Obv i JUST started getting into metal this year so right now i am very into children of bodom, type O negative. Also olivia rodrigo. also STEELY DAN.

18. A memorable meal this year? All of the times one of my best friends made me homemade tteokboki. Everything from my favorite halal place. And smile egg of course.

19. What’re you excited about for next year? SO MUCH HONESTLY THIS YEAR SUCKED. Being done school, getting a better job, learning to tattoo, GETTING tattoos/piercings when i have money, discovering more music, growing my hair out. Moving out of my crappy little apartment. Being 24. Learning guitar and to sew hopefully. Wasting my time on tumblr dot com with u ppl. Good things so many good things ahead.

[pynkhues]

Thoughts in the show bear? In your opinion is it a good show? Would you rec it.l  Looking for a show to binge . Lol missing good girls

It's always missing Good Girls hours in this house, anon, haha.

Mm, I didn't love the first season (I talked about it a bit here if you're interested), but the reviews for season 2 have been good and largely saying it's an improvement on s1, so I'm hopeful and planning on trying it out.

Good Girls feels so tonally specific to me these days, especially as a complete package now that it's finished, that it feels oddly difficult to rec something to fill that particular gap? I've heard good things about Bad Sisters though, so that could be one to check out? And Yellowjackets definitely has it's moments too!

[indigodawns]
