#and forever winter will come.. and l'appel... and all of the others one by one by one

[ilyfynn]

its a beautiful life. fynn hits 100k written this year. it's been a long journey and i thank everyone who has ever even clicked onto a work of mine. its difficult, sometimes, being stupid and a writer simultaneously. ignore the low numbers im a small fandom writer and i have a nother account ok

similarly, my mcsrtober also reached 1k hits which makes it my first fic with 1k hits yay thank you <3

highlights below. im gonna ramble ofc i am

swallow's mate. yeah its not the longest fic ever but i put so much time and effort and i am so so so so so so so proud of it and will always be. the world is a river of crackling chaos and i am the vengeance that simmers inside it

hiraeth. YES I WILL FINISH IT ONE DAY. ITS GOT REALLY NICE LORE. being the first bigger project i've tried to write since i unretired from mcsr, i adored being able to a) worldbuild and b) WRITE IN CHAPTERS. its so hard to write fics in one go my patience wears itself out

lappel du vide. you know nothing about lappel yet. you know nothing, but the plan was like 4k words and now you know something. boy do i have things planned for these stupid ranked runners. the darkness came when doogile was just a boy, after all

mcsrtober. im not as proud of my mcsrtober because i like editing things over and over and over again and mcsrtober simply doesnt allow the time for that. however i think i cooked really hard on some of the prompts and the ones yet to come (peepocute banger one on the 26th i think). like day 2. a full-on 4+1 fic. beautiful

there's a lot to come, i think. theres so many thoughts and not enough time to express them, and im only going to get more and more busy from now on. it's going to be walright. you know, theres a cool thing called a winter big bang, and the word count is projected to be around 18k...and its a oneshot...........................

then i can retire from writing longfics in one go and go back to chaptered becuase WOW chaptered is easier. AHHHHHHH

thank you for reading. this and all my fics. thank you @goober890 (i would be a liar if i didnt say i tried to tag ur ao3 😭) for being the first ever member of the fynn fanclub. thank you @bioluminescentfrog for putting up with me through the whole process of the fics to come. its been - not quite a long journey, but an eventful one all the same. from one mongey to another, i salute all of you.

Current Music Obsessions: October 17 - 31, 2018

Time to break out another long list! I've been purging my watch later playlist and doing a good job at it. But we're not gonna ramble on with that stuff, we're gonna ramble on about music. Starting out with the honorable mentions.

Mono - After You Comes the Flood Clouds - Forever and a Day Holy Shire - The Legendary Shepherds of the Forest Onsetcold - Los Angeles The Monster Inside - Numb Sylvaine - L'Appel Du Vide Mother Feather - Snakebite Haken - Puzzle Box Marina and the Diamonds - Froot Nego do Borel - Me Solta feat. DJ Rennan da Penha Amaranthe - Countdown Aliases - What's Left For Us? Winter in Eden - With Intent Lucrecia - Femto Solborn - Crestfallen Once - Distorted Smiles feat. Shir-Ran Yinon (violin) Alina Lesnik - Dark Waltz (Hayley Westenra cover) Empyrean Throne - Chaosborne Marcela Bovio - Scientist Elyose - La Veuve Noire Victorius - Razorblade Raptor Tasters - Please Destroy This World Arkentype - Ashes and Dirt

And now for the plenty main obsessions.

1. Arcane Roots - Before Me

This is such an interesting way to open an album. This is such an ambient track and reminds me of something by Sigur Ros for some reason. It's so beautiful and peaceful. I'm definitely am gonna listen to this album.

2. Nibiru - The Sorrow's Song

Spaceuntravel. The vibe of this song is what got me hooked on it. It has some metalcore vibes to it, but it's definitely more on the prog side in my opinion. The singer's voice is so raw and intense and compliments the instrumentals really well.

3. Persona - Invidia

This was one of the songs that really stood out to me on Metamorphosis. I'm also glad they chose to turn one of the songs in which their singer did some screams, because her screams are very impressive. The instrumentals on this track are so epic and chaotic. So much yes.

4. Beyond the Black - Scream for Me

The choirs. Those are what truly sold me on this track. Well, they're not like typical choir bits, but they're still choir-like. Anyways, this track is my second favorite off the album. It's so fun and packs so much energy.

5. We are the Catalyst - Predators

This is their latest single and I absolutely love it. I am obsessed with the singer's headdress in the video. It has a bit of a djenty vibe to it which I love, but it still holds true to their sound which sets them apart from other alternative metal bands.

6. Sound Storm - To the Stars

This is their newest song and features two new singers, one of which is Chiara Tricarico who was originally part of Temperance and was with Teodasia for a short time. I'm so glad to hear she's back to taking the lead in a band again, and this is such a great track to welcome her back to. She fucking killed it. And their new male singer, Andrea, is also a great fit and can unleash some monstrous growls. Definitely check this track out.

7. Once - The Sins of Saints

Holy tits. This is my favorite off After Earth. The album is absolutely amazing and I love how whimsical it is, but this track stands out so much. It's so dramatic and powerful. The choirs are everything. You also get a great feel for Alina's range here. I wish someone would post the lyrics online somewhere, because I need to do a vocal cover of this and soon.

8. Synlakross - Dark Seed

This is such a fun track from these guys. They're a female fronted melo-death metal band that I've known about for a while now. Their front woman has such a great voice and her growls and screams are absolutely insane. You can hear that insanity so well on this track.

9. Serenity in Murder - Infact Bellum

Found this track after rummaging through my abandoned first YouTube channel I had YEARS ago. They're a female fronted blackened symphonic death metal band from Japan that I'm happy to report that don't follow the typical mainstream J-metal formula and sound. The sound of this track is really fresh and is so great. I'm definitely am gonna check out more from them. But it is sad that their monstrous front woman has parted ways with them very recently.

10. Involvers - Ghost

Surprisingly enough, this is the last Spaceuntravel find this session. Anyways, this indie rock track has a post rock vibe to it that I adore. It's very ambient and such a great chill song. A super lovely track.

11. In Element - The Innocence

Randomly found these guys on YouTube one day and I really dig the singer's cleans. Their a melo-death metal band and I think I'll check more out from them in the future. This song has a bit of a prog vibe to it and is pretty atmospheric at times, which is really refreshing since it can be difficult to find melo-death tracks that don't sound like every other melo-death track out there.

12. Elyose - De Tout Là-haut

Reconnexion is a great album, and this song is the one that stood out the most to me. The electronic elements in the chorus are so cool and the vocalizing in the choruses are absolutely beautiful. It's such a wonderful track from such an epic band. I still can't get over that their tiny woman of a singer can pack such a powerful voice.

13. Amaranthe - 365

This quickly became an obsession for me. It's such a catchy track and instantly became a favorite off of Helix for me. It's such a fun track to just jam out to and to drive to. Hell, I think Helix in general is a great driving album. But this track just packs the perfect amount of energy for an Amaranthe single.

14. The Hardkiss - 00:00

This is the first song that I know I've heard off their new album and I absolutely adore it. You get such a great feel for Yulia's range on this track. It's so beautiful and just helps to further solidify these guys as my third favorite band of all time. I can't wait to finally get around to listening to the new album, because I just know it's gonna have many more amazing tracks like this one on it.

And that is it! There are probably gonna be more long lists next month, so prepare. But hey, longer lists mean more great music to check out and jam out to!
