#and my longing to sing Dulaman around a fire with my friends

[becaexists]

Okay I have brainrot and no time to write this as an actual fic so I'm putting this here so I can hopefully write it in the future:

PeaceMessage/SebAngelo fic where Sebastian is a Selkie in Ireland with his two fae brothers and Angelo is a rich man from across the seas who spots Sebastian when he goes for a night swim to help with the heat of mid-summer

Sebastian and Angelo fall in love through secret glances in town markets and on the beach, where Angelo sees Sebastian emerge from the sea foam, hiding his coat, only for some village boys to find it and steal it in hopes of marrying a selkie maid

Angelo gets the coat back from the teenagers after slight struggle and waits for Sebastian on the shore, and when he eventually comes in a panic because he can't find his coat, Angelo gives it to him without asking anything in return. Returning the coat is a marriage proposal amongst selkies, one that Angelo has indirectly said Sebastian does not have to accept, however, Sebastian wants to

Styx, on the other hand, really doesn't want his youngest brother to marry a human stranger who would take him from their home shores, so when Sebastian comes to their fae court to ask for his permission to marry, Angelo is pulled away by Quin, separating the couple

Styx and Sebastian begin a half trial half game where they have to state why he should be allowed to marry Angelo and why he shouldn't, but they must sing their answers to the tune of Sebastian's favourite song, Dulaman, which the rest of the court plays lively.

Styx says that while Angelo is stately and looks proper, he is poor in the ways the fae care, and Sebastian rebuttals that he can give Angelo all of the gifts of the sea, fine food and precious pearls. Styx then argues that Angelo is not their kind, specifically pointing out his blunt ears, as everyone else has pointed, and Sebastian argues that he is the best of his human family, noting how he offers him fine gifts with no want of anything back, unlike other humans. Styx's final argument is that none could replace Sebastian as a brother, as he is the finest young man in all of Ireland and it's seas, and that Angelo would steal him from their shores, to which Sebastian responds with "He goes with me, and I go with him, we will stray far from the fine seaweed". Styx cannot think of a response, which means Sebastian wins, Angelo is released and they have a little dance to the music before leaving the court to start their lives as not quiet human, not quiet fae

HELL YEA OC song/voice headcanon time let’s goooo I’ve been wanting to do one of these for a long time now. And after seeing my friend @shunfluff​ do one for some of their OCs, I finally decided to sit down and take time to throw this together while I actually still have a drawing bug. Strike while the iron’s hot and all. Though I… didn’t just stop at drawings and and song titles. I really shouldn’t have access to Filmora X’D After seeing how fun the effects could be, I played around a bit to make it all a bit more dynamic. Ofc I couldn’t get to all 50 of my OCs, I mostly just picked ones that I already had a song in mind for. If I feel like doing another vid with more OCs at a later date, then I definitely will. More rambling under the cut.

Harvey: “You’re Gonna Go Far, Kid” by The Offspring (Singer: Dexter Holland) Harvey loves all things rock. Mostly British & Australian punk rock, but also a good majority of alternative and some metal. His voice was actually pretty hard to pinpoint; I see it being at a range anywhere between Queen and Adam Lambert, plus he’s a master at changing his voice. But ultimately I settled on this singer, which is a good middle-ground. Terry: “The World That He Sees” by Trans-Siberian Orchestra (Singer: Zak Stevens) Terry is inspired directly from TSO, so it only seemed fitting to use one of their songs. He has a beautiful booming operatic singing voice, which his family had him use in their Catholic church to sing classic hymns during masses. Seth: “Indigo” by Ed-Alleyne Johnson As you can tell, this isn’t a song with vocals. Seth’s voice is somewhat close to Josh Groban’s, he’s just not as skilled of a singer. But in a sense, his electric violin is his voice so I decided to switch things up. Marie: “Kings & Queens” by Ava Max Marie is a criminally under-used OC of mine. She was the lead scientist behind the Animalia - the group of animal hybrid subjects (like Harvey). She does a lot of work for humanitarian, environmentalist and gender equality efforts. She’s very self-confident and knows damn well how to strut her stuff to get what she wants. She uses every bit of media attention to bring important issues to light, and often has men in the science community at her beck and call, pointing out the double-standards of the science community and their treatment of women in the field. Riley: “Monster” by Skillet (Singer: John Cooper) Angsty badger is angsty. Riley battles a lot of internal rage and violent urges, struggling to keep it in check. I was torn between this song and “Animal I Have Become”, but ultimately this one just sounds more like him. Kenisime: “ Deora Ar Mo Chroí ” by Enya I ended up using Kenni’s female form for this, since there weren’t any songs off the top of my head that had a really deep, really soft/silky voice. So Enya’s soothing singing is very fitting for Kenni in this form. Ragaeli: “Say My Name” from Beetlejuice (Singer: Alex Brightman) I already posted this in a diff video, but might as well include him here too. Pitched-down Alex Brightman is still a dead-ringer for Rags’ normal speaking & singing voice. Kama: “Ijazat” from the movie One Night Stand (Singer: Tanuj Virwani)  Ngl, my first song choice for Kama was “Tonight (I’m Fckin You)” by Enrique Iglesias. His voice tone and the lyrics were very fitting for Kama, but a friend pointed out that it might be uhhh weird to have a Spanish singer as a voice claim for an Indian character. So instead I found a nice sensual Indian song that works well for him. Clancy: “Dulaman” by (Singer: Ciaran O’Donovan) There was a different singer/version for this song on TikTok that’s a closer match to Clancy’s voice, but the account got deleted for some reason :c So this one works. He has a very light, airy, pleasant voice. I like to imagine that the choir in the background is his other fairy workers at his trading post. …And then Harvey again, lmao. He’s a fucking awesome guitarist and I had to show that off. “Through the Fire and Flames” has just the right amount of chaotic, fiery enthusiasm for his character.
