#bethyl playlist

[mistressheroine]

so you listening to taylor swift! What is the songs that remind you of bethyl?

for me is : the Alcott - state of grace - enchanted - electric touch - treacherous ⭐️

This is such a hard question because so many of her songs make me think of them or give me inspiration for story ideas 🙈

Right now I’d have to say Cardigan - Timeless - The Alchemy - I Look In People’s Windows - Daylight - Hoax - The Archer 💖

Bethyl (Taylor’s Version) Playlist

Just a little something for my Bethyl and Swiftie heart to feel all the love and emotions this ship to enjoy and proliferate. The playlist tells an abstract story about these two, it’s up to you how the story plays out.

[mistressheroine]

Songs that remind you of Bethyl

I'll go first and add on if you want.

Between 5 and 6 songs

It can be any context, something that reminds you of them, something that Beth would sing or Daryl would listen to. Doesn't matter. Post it

Maybe she sings it and Daryl gets a stab in his heart cause it reminds him of Merle (Merle would definitely listen to this, yes he likes heavy metal but he's listening to this while he's drinking)

AO3 Roundup 2024

thank you so much for the tag @galadrieljones ! (seriously such an honor from a writer i admire so much)

tagging: @mistressheroine @pipergirl17 @piper1016 @littlelindentree @weapon13whitefang @not-so-austen @lemortehomme @raginglittlehurricane @spield @rckyfrk @deerdens @xx-cherryballerina (and anyone else who feels like doing this, pls tag me so i can read and like your post, i love you all)

—Words posted: 327,634

—Additional Words Written: unknown, but probably close to 450,000

—Grand total of words: girl idk. let's call it 500k just to be safe, especially if we're including all the words i deleted lmao

—Fandoms: The Walking Dead

—Works: another installation of Let us always find each other, To Love is To Be Alive, and Small Miracles

—Highest Kudos: Small Miracles

—Highest Hit One-shot: To Love is To Be Alive

—New Things I Tried: writing an almost-cross-over with Beth/Daryl and Detroit: Become Human. that was a fun venture into a different universe that was not of my own creation, fitting in two characters who definitely didn't belong and somehow making them belong. writing not one, but two OC's that people actually care about in Small Miracles. i genuinely didn't think anyone would care much for Gale or Mae, but now they've become nearly as beloved to the readers as they are to me and honestly, i cannot describe how good that makes me feel! particularly for my little sentient zombie boy <3

—Fic I Spent the Most Time On: Small Miracles ... and i am still spending time on it. y'all have no idea. i made playlists, i listened to songs on repeat, i added and extracted and added again to the outline, i brainstormed during downtime at work, i got new ideas while watching movies and shows. i am still doing all those things, i'm just not quite capable of putting thoughts and ideas into words like i was throughout the majority of 2024.

—Fic I Spent the Least Time On: To Love is To Be Alive -- it came to me fast and hard, i wrote it in about 2-3 weeks because it was so rapidly coming into my head and i just had to get it out.

—Favourite Thing I Wrote: Small Miracles ... duh. i fucking love this fic and still do. i can't wait to finish it.

—Favorite Thing I Read: as far as books go (pls message me if you want to add me on Goodreads), my favorite reads this year were:

The Final Girl Support Group by Grady Hendrix

A Novel Love Story by Ashley Poston

The Nanny by Lana Ferguson

Last Light by Claire Kent (this one is for all my Bethyl girlies--it's extremely Daryl/Beth-coded, so if you love Bethyl and you love post-apocalypse fiction with a healthy dash of smut, you should definitely give it a try)

and for fanfiction, i'm gonna narrow it down and say it's a tie between:

afterglow by galadrieljones

Love in the Wilderness by LeighJ

Sweet Willow by CherryParfait

Revenant by devils_might_heed_us

La Dame Blanche by MistressHeroine

genealogy by wandering_gypsy_feet

qué será, será by moonshineshacks

—Something I Finished: ummm let's be so real... the only thing i actually finished this year was To Love is To Be Alive ... sorry about that for my readers. i swear to GOD i'm doing my best to finish at least ONE more thing omg

—Miscellaneous Highlights: i played a lot more video games and read a lot more books this year than i think i have in the last five years, so that's a highlight for me (hello, i actually discovered, played, and rapidly became obsessed with the entire Life is Strange series and its universe, as well as all of the Supermassive games, from Until Dawn to The Quarry and through the entire Dark Pictures Anthology!) because i love taking inspiration from other fiction in every form. i'm very proud of myself. also, i started converting my fic Lunacy Fringe into an original novel, and it's about 3/4th of the way finished, so i am actually excited to finish that and put it out into the world just to say i did it, just to say that i actually wrote my own original novel and contributed it to the millions upon millions of self-published novels available online lol (i guess i wanna contribute to The Zeitgeist ?? idk if i'm even using that correctly??). i also pushed myself and delved into writing OC's into one of my fics and found that it was well-received, which gave me a bit of a confidence boost! not to mention, i reread Wild Love by LeighJ and commented (because for some reason i didn't comment the first time i read it?? what the hell was wrong with me?) and it ended up sparking her to add some deleted scenes and create a series that i now ADORE, and there is nothing i love more than encouraging other writers and seeing what they can come up with when they're reminded of how much their writing is appreciated. i am also incredibly proud and appreciative of @mistressheroine for everything she's written this year and all the help she's given me in my own writing, and for being such an amazing friend and just an overall great person to talk to and fangirl with. also mad kudos to @raginglittlehurricane for our shared obsession with Kyle Gallner and the Dinner in America movie, and all those countless tiktok edits we send to each other (girl, i am impatiently awaiting the release of that DiA fic... just saying).

—Writing Goals for 2025:

finish Small Miracles.

finish hot girl summer (playing by the rules).

start posting and continue writing cuffing season (part 6 of in for a penny, in for a pound).

add some chapters/possibly complete who we gotta be and Redire A Morte.

finally finish and publish Lunacy Fringe as an original novel.

somehow make time to finish and post the final chapters of Don't Make Me Haunt You.

make some more headway on my original zombie apocalypse novel, even if it's just a fully-fleshed outline.

—Final Thoughts: i have a lot of shit on my plate, especially for a sleepy bitch who works full-time and also enjoys other endeavors like movies, shows, and video games. (ps: give me a follow on twitch @im1mmortal to see me livestream like two or three times a month lol) but all in all, i feel like i am continuing to learn and grow as a writer and at the end of the day, that's all that really matters to me. i want to read as many books as i can, consume as much well-written media as possible, and learn as much as possible when it comes to making my own dreams come true. i know i have a lot of WIPs sitting around just waiting to be finished, and believe me, i see all the comments urging me to continue and finish, and i desperately want to, but i have to go off of vibes. it sounds lame, but it's true. i refuse to write unless i feel like i am writing from my heart. i erase anything that feels forced or soulless. quality over quantity all day, every day. but i also recognize that i'm kind of an idiot who has a strength in starting things and reaching the point of climax, and my greatest weakness is actually writing the climax and reaching the conclusion. i'm working on that all the time, and i strive to change it. but what really keeps me going is the feedback and the random comments and messages, even if they're months or years later, letting me know that something i wrote resonated with someone far away who i will never meet or actually know. it gives me all the motivation i need. i just have to find that last little passage past the mental block to continue writing and actually finish something. oh... and the energy LOL. seriously tho, i love this fandom, i adore all of the various fics i've been blessed enough to read because they offer such different perspectives on characters and settings and they open up my mind to entirely new possibilities. not to mention, i've made some of the absolute best friends through fandom and fanfic. i wouldn't trade it for the world. all i ask for is a little patience and understanding. and i really hope to keep you all in my heart and see y'all on the other side of whatever this is as we traverse life and fiction and discover how the two overlap in ways we never could have imagined <3

as we all get older, in the best of ways, let's fuck 2025 right in the mouth

[majicmarker]

a life (and writing!) update, if you care to catch up with me

now that some Big Events have come and gone (namely, my sister's destination wedding), i'm settling in for whatever i'm doing this winter.

i've learned, over the past couple, that this is not the time of year that yields any real momentum in terms of book writing—that is, as much as i'd like to knock out a full draft, pressuring myself to do it only makes me Feel Bad when i don't. so, we're done with that.

i'm going to spend the winter playing in the sandbox of book 3: sorting out the themes, the romance dynamic, building the playlist, and drafting scenes when the mood strikes. then, when the dreary fog of my wintry depression lifts, i can hit the ground running and get the book itself done and done.

but i do also want to write this winter, so i'm planning to do that more on my blog and, also, with fanfiction. i could use the comfort. and, with the time and distance i've spent away from fandom, i've found that i can actually write fic for the pure enjoyment of it again—it is, actually, comforting again. i couldn't care less about the increasingly toxic culture around it. miss me with the entitlement and the ship wars and the whatevers, okay, i'm here to write and make myself feel better.

so i plan to finish my eddissy/jason pov (my other big eddissy wip, aka the fake dating fic, is on the books, too, but as it's so much longer... we shall see what we shall see).

but i've also been thinking a lot about bethyl again, as i'm working with some similar themes in book 3, so i'm planning to revisit a wip or two or so there. and, to be totally real with you, i'm really jazzed about it; there's a few things that will keep me engaged, busy, and my writing up to scratch, and i'll get to do it with a dynamic that's really close to my heart.

i might have some potentially exciting professional news to share soonishly too, but, eh, we'll see how that shakes out. right now i'm just feeling good about, like, accepting my lot for the next couple of months and making the best of it.

in the meantime, i'm still offering tarot readings and editing services—if any of that rings your bell, please check out the link for more info and DM me! ya girlie needs some extra cash flow. (my day job is cool, but getting paid once a month is kinda the pits, and with the disability?? forget about it, i'm freelancing for my life over here.)

so, until i see ya around the corners of the internet i've mentioned here... xx —maj

afterglow: chapter 9

Chapter 9: The Execution of All Things

When the CR descends into unexpected chaos, Daryl and Beth must make a dangerous escape. Jadis has troubling suspicions.

Masterpost

*You can find my updated playlist for "afterglow" on spotify, which includes each song from Lizzy Dixon's set list so far.

[frecklesandpoverty]

do you have any other fandom playlists other than hellcheer?

I do actually! I have one for Reddie (Richie and Eddie from IT), I have one for Bellarke (Bellamy and Clarke from The 100), and I have one for Bethyl (Beth and Daryl from The Walking Dead).

If those peak your interest I can share the links lol

[doe-rose-q]

I am soooo excited to share my epic Bethyl playlist with you! I have named it “Big Bethyl MOOD”:

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1dSgNYDMqwSWEphWjSncRc?si=iSZ-IPNZSWaLwXrMgLF-BA&dl_branch=1

The songs on this list were chosen via many sources. I obviously included the two songs by Emily Kinney—the cover song she sangam Beth Greene in “Alone”—“Be Good” by Waxahatchee—for Norman Reedus as Daryl Dixon, the one she wrote and sang—“Last Chance”—which was on her 3rd album—Expired Love—that she said has Beth and Daryl vibes. Other obvious choices was the song played at the end of “Still” while Daryl and Beth burned down the moonshine shack—“Up the Wolves” by the Mountain Goats—and the two songs that Norman has essentially said give him his own Bethyl feels—“Very Nervous and Love” by J Mascis and “Drowning Man” by U2. The rest of them are songs I have personally selected that put me in a big Bethyl mood, songs that other Bethyl shippers have suggested for me to make song lyric photo edits for, songs from the huge plethora of Bethyl music video tributes on YouTube, as well as from other Bethylers’ playlists that are inspired by this beloved pairing. 🐞💘💘🐍

A Song for Bethyl

“Til the Casket Drops” by ZZ Ward. Lyrics after the cut.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmEdyFIi-n4

Bethyl playlist https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4p50BXcToo15T8z6BogydK

It was the coldest night of the year Snow-covered street lamps and Belvedere The moon was just a sliver The light was fading The war was on its way And we were waiting

You asked me how long I'd stay by your side So I answered with only just one reply

Til the casket drops Til my dying day Til my heartbeat stops Til my legs just break Til the casket drops

A house made out of glass will surely shatter So we built a fortress of red bricks and ladders The ground it started shaking The bombs were falling We could've walked away We had a warning

You asked me how long I'd stay by your side So I answered with only just one reply

Til the casket drops Til my dying day Til my heartbeat stops Til my legs just break Til the casket drops

So lay your burden down, baby Lead me out the door We can't escape this ricochet I'm ready for this war

So lay your burden down, baby Lead me out the door We can't escape this ricochet I'm ready for this war

Til the casket drops Til my dying day Til my heartbeat stops Til my legs just break

Til the casket drops Til my dying day Til my heartbeat stops Til my legs just break Til the casket drops

[lemortehomme]

Here's the playlist I've been using while writing The Humbling River. Almost 12 hours long (because I can't help myself) and I still add to it.

Some are Bethyl-y and some are more situational for the story, and some are more my tastes than fitting in with the style, but please enjoy if you're so inclined!

Naturally, I recommend "The Humbling River" by Puscifer as that's the song which inspired the whole shebang.

100 Days of Writing: Day 14

Hosted by @the-wip-project

Holy crap I made it 14 days! I didn't think I would. These two weeks have been so amazing for me creatively. I didn't get much writing done today though. My kids went back to daycare today so suddenly I had all this free time and I didn't know what to do with myself so I watched 3 hours of Downton Abbey.

Something exciting did happen today and I'm still blown away by this. A month ago my fic Gracie was just an idea I thought no one would like. I really figured people would hate it because of Beth being Gracie’s mother. I got an anonymous ask about it when I posted titles of my WIPs. Then I started getting lots of feedback and it was all positive. Then it got to be something people were constantly asking about. That lit a fire under me and I started cranking it out! Well today I posted the prologue and the first full chapter is going up tomorrow. So thank you all for being amazing and encouraging!!!

After so many years apart, Beth and Daryl must find small ways to remember who they were, what they've lost, and what they stand to become.
