What's your 45th song on your spotify playlist?

Nothing Else Matters by Apocolyptica ✨

Fun fact, I didn't know this was a cover of the Metallica song until I was telling someone about the song and they said "Oh, you mean the Metallica song!" So that was fun. Thanks for the ask 💗

Today was our marriage anniversary. After we'd been together for almost 10 years, we realized that we should get married. We did so quickly and very discreetly. (There were Troubles at hand, which I won't get into here.) I looked at the calendar and realized that the first of April would work out really well and pitched this to my partner.

My partner was delighted with the idea and we both considered posting to our social media about getting married that day because everyone would assume it was a prank, because we didn't tell *anyone* that we were tying the knot. We knew no one would believe it.

I've always been a strong independent person. For a significant portion of my life I was actively anti-marriage altogether. I still have... problems... with the institution itself and a lot of the trappings that society wants me to believe are *romantic*.

But it turns out that I am a romantic, I just choose things that are resonant to me, personally, not what the Diamond Industry wants me to get sentimental about.

There were no engagement rings, no wedding rings. We gathered at my mother's home with her husband, my father, his wife, my brothers and their partners, and my partners two adult kids.

We wrote our ceremony; I wrote my own vows, and my partner found a Dr. Seuss-like set of vows online. This was utterly perfect and very romantic! I wrote beautiful poetry for my vows and my dedication. My partner gave me a silly rhyme that also showed his devotion to me and his inherent understanding of my sense of humor. We played the Apocolyptica cover of Metallica's "Nothing Else Matters."

I considered a "courthouse" wedding but this was easier to arrange and allowed the aforementioned people to all be present. We had a nice dinner, and a sheet cake from the grocery store with a "Jack and Sally" cake topper, courtesy of my mother.

As time passed, and The Troubles gave us a moment of respite before demolishing our lives, I persuaded my partner that we needed to throw a party. Our friends and other loved ones didn't know we'd (really) gotten married! We were missing out on some great loot in the form of wedding gifts!

I didn't need ANY of the trappings of a traditional "Wedding" and "Wedding Reception" and neither did my partner. We were interested in throwing a party in our home and inviting the huge circle of friends and family to participate. So we had that celebration the following year in mind-February.

That's why we have two anniversaries: The Marriage anniversary, and the Wedding Anniversary.

So what's apocolyptica's deal. I've been listening to them for like a decade now and I still don't know, do they just like not have a singer and just pull some other artist to do vocals every time they want vocals?

I have not googled it and I won't I discovered them when I was 12 through nightcore youtube and I have just continued listening with youtube without researching anything about the band. It's better this way

[folkdances]

update it's shaping up to be less "space opera" and more "brutalist environmentalist sci-fi post-apocolyptica murder mystery" i am a parody of myself.

if i wrote an aa space opera would you guys read it be honest. most likely a loose adaptation of aa4 ft. narumitsu divorce court and more appearances from the feys

[indyflanery]

For every 🎧 I receive in my ask box, I'll post a song I listened to recently and the lyrics to my favorite part of it- 🎧🎧🎧🎧🎧

Wow that's a lot of songs. Let me see...I'm gonna do a readmore and avoid inserting audio because this will be a long post.

1. Apocolyptica's cover of Nothing Else Matters by Metallica (I forgot how much I liked them until they were featured on Wednesday. Yes, it's instrumental but I automatically include the lyrics in my mind because Metallica.)

Never opened myself this way

Life is ours, we live it our way

All these words, I don't just say

And nothing else matters

2. There's Nothing Holding Me Back by Shawn Mendes (Because I saw this post one day and the video now lives rent-free in my head.)

She pulls me in enough to keep me guessing

And maybe I should stop and start confessing

Confessing, yeah

3. Name by The Goo Goo Dolls (A heavy reminder and their first big song.)

Scars are souvenirs you never lose

The past is never far

4. The Thunder Rolls (The Long Version) by State of Mine (A hard rock cover of the Garth Brooks song that is epic and it really kicks in at the chorus.)

The thunder rolls

And the lightning strikes

Another love grows cold

On a sleepless night

As the storm blows on out of control

Deep in her heart

As the thunder rolls

5. Valhalla Calling by Miracle of Sound ft. Peyton Parrish (History nerd right here)

Far from the fjords and the ice cold currents

Ravens soar over new frontiers

Songs and sagas of a fate determined

Shields and spears

un-becoming

Somehow nine years have past…nine years since The Lost Films of Theda Bara was published in Issue #30 of Fence. The time of its making feels immediate but that’s a deception: nearly a decade has past. I am not now where I was then. The Lost Films was an imaginative essay/fragmented screen-play of almost-erotica about all the things I love because they do not exist. It was a solid experimental inter-genre work that captured where I was then.

Nearly a decade, later, my themes are different. But they have found a home, once again in Issue #39 of Fence. Un-becoming is a pun and the title of a 100+ line poem. While procrastinating on the final proof, I made this Venn diagram to map the terrain it covers:

My old friend Orion makes an appearance (he’s also Come on Lonely from my concept album these fountains rare here). Editing the middle section, which smashes up astronomical facts (the start that will soon go super-novae in Orion’s shoulder) + our mythical projections onto the stars + impending planetary doom, made me appreciate Emily Dickinson for maybe the first time ever. Complexity in brevity. Ah, there’s something worth mastering.

Un-becoming begins:

Though I have spent night under stars drunk and not drunk abandoning myself to way-out universal wow

now the walk from door to yard feels epic embarkment drunk or not drunk as if wolves as if pestilence as if deranged men as if

my mind, unhinged like a jaw, might not shut if darkness swarms. ..

I am pro-the Fence mission and you will be, too, if you like work that deviates from the American literary norm. You can get yourself a copy with a Fence membership, at your library, at a Barnes & Noble or an independent bookstore -- if in NYC, try Quimby's, if in Philadelphia try Avril 50. You can subscribe to Fence here.

Do you remember me? And the kid I used to be?

[romance-sick]

And it’s killing me when you’re away

I wanna leave and I wanna stay

I’m so confused, so hard to choose

Between the pleasure and the pain

And I know it’s wrong and I know it’s right

Even if I try to win the fight

My heart would overrule my mind

And I’m not strong enough to stay away

My initial sketches of Aloy's hair either look like an 18th century wig or an entire incoherent mess. There's no in-between.

[amlovelies]

🤥🍰👖🎵💧for my beloved Romi please?

of course ginger! thank you for asking about my girl 😍

🤥 LYING - are they good liars? do they have tells to show they're lying?

Romi is a good liar. she's used to it. back in the sidestep days she used to bite her nails a lot which could be a tell when she was lying (it was more an anxiety thing but depending on the size of the lie sometimes there would be accompanying anxiety) that's just one of the things she's left in the past. she keeps her nails carefully manicured now.

🍰 CAKE SLICE - favourite cake flavour? are they specific about types of cakes?

Romi is a sweet step so she will never say no to cake. any cake is a good cake in her book, but if she had to choose she would probably go for german chocolate

👖 JEANS - what is their go-to outfit?

Romi puts a good deal of effort into her outfits. she always favours less fitted clothing, not anything super tailored or that will really highlight and show off her shape. She likes high collars and long skirts. will gravitate towards like large bow details or peter pan collars with like a long cardigan layered over it. she's already on the taller side (5'10) so she usually won't wear heels. very feminine and pretty. likes pink and white, softer shades and flowy silky/chiffon fabrics when possible. this sorta vibe 👇

🎵 MUSIC NOTE - what is their playlist like? their favourite artists? do you associate a particular song with them?

this is an area I'm working on developing for her! I had started a playlist for her and it just doesn't feel right. as of right now I'm thinking she mostly favors instrumentals rather than songs with lyrics and something with a heavy drum/bass line. something that feels more physical, that she can feel in her chest something more visceral than like the indie singer songwriter tracks I was originally thinking about. I'm thinking maybe artist like apocolyptica and pelican but I have to do some more exploring.

💧 DROPLET - random angst headcanon

Romi can barely remember Themmy. Like she knows they were close, that they were teammates, but her actually memories of times they spent together feels so distant, like remembering a movie she watched when she was half asleep. so many of her memories from the sidestep days are like that. it usually takes ortega telling the story for things to even begin to fit into place but even then it always feels like it happened to a different person
