#but ti's the name of the song

[peupeugunn]

i've read so many fics and seen so many posts where people talk about what jon snow's birth name should be. "no it's NOT aegon that's stupid" "what if it's aemon after the maester" "what about daemon lol?" "what about jaehaerys cause they're both j names" "but what if it IS aegon??"

well have you considered the funniest possible thing lyanna could have named her child:

jacaerys.

Like listen

If uchiha clan was a normal clan

Like- normal normal

No politics, no plans, just some pretty eyes and happy people

It would've been so happy right ?

And it's kinda obvious that they feel emotions more than a normal person okay? Their element is fire, fire is intense and so are their emotions. So if they're sad, they're very bawling their eyes out and if they're happy, then it's a celebration y'all (no hide your emotions bs)

if the clan was normal, they would be so culturally rich. Like i always imagined uchiha having their own folk songs, stories about past lovers, lullabies, dances, religious practices, ceremonies, festivals and what not?!

Also, this is largely inspired by a post of @uchihaculture

The one with baby sasuke, Itachi and shisui together where it looks like they're having some celebration together, yk lights and all

So yes

If there is a marriage around, the bride and the groom would be dressed so lavishly and royally, having the most beautiful and intricate jewelry and dresses, pretty make up and the best party in konoha around. Everyone would gift them gold and precious stuff just in the names of blessings.

And everyone would be there, the people of other clans as well, can't forget your other friends can you??

Just imagine the clan members coming together at night of some celebration around a cozy bonfire, the old people telling the stories of their youth to some children, young couples just spending time together, males just talking and laughing at each other, kids running and playing around and the ladies and some men just sitting around the bonfire singing their folksongs and orchestrating with various instruments- the flute, guitar, mouth organ etc (all the gentle stuff)

And having this stuff weakly

Imagine, the kids playing volleyball or something and some adult joins them to supposedly "teach them the real way" and just like that, it began a friendly battle between all the guys and gals interested.

All go back to their homes with a big smile on their faces

And Mikoto- the ever loving mother- would be such a good singer cuz her face just gives the vibe that she'll be good at singing.

Fuguku, no matter how rough he looks, will be the most gentle guy around the people he loves.

Thinking of him being good at playing flute and accompanying his wife while she's singing with the other ladies is just so romantic (imagine the young couples and their friends hooting when they start acting like the best power couple they are and their kids just loving this)

Sasuke inherited his mother's ability to sing and learned flute from his father

Itachi learned flute and many other instruments from his clan folk. He is not half bad at singing, he just prefers instruments.

Folk songs? This idea came to me when I was listening to

And

Listen to this song, you'll get an idea what I'm trying to say (it's obv okay if you don't understand it just vibe with it)

So yes, their folksongs would just include many- many references to the female or male having beautiful eyes (for sharingan purposes)

Like here's the translation from NainoWale ne (the first song mentioned)

"the one with beautiful eyes

disturbed the cup of the heart,

made the tavern spill,

and he took away my peace, nights, eyes..."

(that is I'm not able to sleep peacefully anymore)

SO FITTING RIGHT?!?!

There would be songs that the ladies sing when they're getting the brides all dressed up to look the best for their best day

There would be songs singing the praises of their past warriors

Songs for loneliness ( we always have emo singers)

Plenty love songs

So yes, the most famous singers of the five nations would be from the uchiha clan

Periodt.

I also see them being good at theatre. So listen, the clan kids, like 6-11 coming together to perform the story of some god or again- folk stories in their local theatre (ofc they have their own theatre, they're rich my lord) and all the adult members supporting their kids

It would've been so soothing for the adults you see, after a hard day at work, you come home and get to see all the happy faces of your friends, relatives, family members and all the members you saw growing up and who saw you grow up. And the families bring food as well. So free food. No one goes to sleep hungry.

Another idea, the clan comes together, once a month and holds a cooking competition. It's like a fair where the members of the other clans act like the judges and vote. The families (non uchihas can participate as well lol) open their stalls to show off their best recipes and the winner is decided through who gets the best votes

I would love to see a fanfiction like that.

could i bother u for more thoughts on faith and max in a mock apple orchard 🥺👉🏻👈🏻

@gayafsatan — I would absolutely LOVE to brainstorm some fun ideas of them in a mock apple orchard!!

I've been replaying again so they've been rotating around in my mind a lot extra hard and was especially thinking about mock apple picking bc the botanical labs also has a lil orchard where you can pick mock apples up off the ground! But I'm currently in Roseway so oughhh.. ideas....

I want you now I am going to ramble a LOT so please bear with me I swearsies it'll be more fun if we get the full lore dump from my brain 😩💖💕

👇 ROSEWAY THOUGHTS 👇

(I AM GOING TO TALK ABT ROSEWAY THOUGHTS AS A WHOLE AND THEN EASE INTO SOME SILLY MOCK APPLE ORCHARD IDEAS AT THE END OKAY. OKAY ILY THANK YOU).

–

My thoughts are very chaotic and rambly so let me try to walk though my ideas lmao

Roseway is typically where I peg Faith's death wish arc happening, and to summarize what all that entails, it's when the mask slips and the weight of everything finally hits her in full force.

I always envision this story happening over a long period of time so a lot of time has passed since first arriving at Edgewater and the Groundbreaker.

Halcyon. Her situation. Her identity. The life Phineas threw her into abruptly and his expectations for her. Making split second moral decisions where no matter what someone is going to get hurt. Being so alien and alone, no one to understand her or believe in her predicament but having to be the mysterious competent captain regardless.

It finally gets to her. Bad. And she makes some self destructive decisions. She gets sloppy, careless, hoping someone else will end this nightmare for her. Until they almost do.

I am swiftly brushing past many details so we don't get too lost in the sauce. But Max went after her, found her collapsed and injured bad, carried her back to the ship for Ellie to do whatever she could, and then stayed by her side for as long as it took for her to wake up.

This is such a key moment for them getting closer. Because there was a lot of frustration and emotion and being forced to confront the possibility of feelings existing, but nothing they fully understand or are ready to acknowledge as such yet.

She tries to brush past the subject of what happened, deflecting everything until he raises his voice in a way he hasn't since she gave him the journal and she threatened he never talk like that to her again. And it was enough to break through her facade, for her to show just how utterly broken and vulnerable she is, and they have a proper fucking conversation about where she's at mentally. He still isn't ready for the truth about her life before. But it's a step forward.

There is a lot of patience and understanding and just. Yeah. A lot happens here. Some walls come down. There grows some room for them to become softer and closer over more time.

All of this is important because a short piece I had written a long time ago took place in this area roughly after this incident.

It was a personal outlet vent piece, I will be honest. When I wrote it it was after I had a very bad panic attack after an awful scare. And I wrote it into Faith because I just wanted to get some feelings from that experience out of my system.

The shortened version of that one is Faith recovering from a bad episode, trying to calm her breathing, waiting for her ears to stop ringing and for her vision to come back. Her legs gave out on her and she was sitting under the mock apple trees. Her voice locks up on her when she's seriously distressed. Yadda yadda yadda, Max had brought along his datapad so she could communicate anything important and she was incredibly confused because she knows he doesn't like using his datapad ever and then rendered even more speechless to know he brought it specifically for her in case something like this were to happen again. It ends with her just asking if he would keep talking to her, and they sit there under the mock apple trees for a while, in no particular rush to get anywhere.

And after this point, I think the mock apple orchards become a really peaceful, therapeutic spot for her when she just wants a moment to herself. Sits there, breathes, takes in the Roseway scenery and collects herself before jumping back into the horrors of Halcyon. Spends some time picking mock apples to take back to the ship.

I've been having a lot of ideas of her asking Max to go with her. I'm of the mind if she'd ask directly that he'd either decline, or at least pretend to be uninterested but she's the one who asked so he accepts the offer.

But I can see her being vague and just saying that she's heading out if he'd join her and she leads him to the orchards. By this point they're already often in each other's company, she indulges his interests often, letting him be the one who is finally listened to. But in general, they get along very well in conversation when it comes to a handful of similar interests and their personalities and attitudes bounce off of each other well.

(In my story anyway, since she spends an extended amount of time in Edgewater and the Vale, there was also a lot of time spent doing some early bonding with Max. So do with that info what you will. They're not likeee besties yet but they're much more than strangers by this point, ya'know? Just to get an idea of where their familiarity with each other is at and why there's enough respect and trust to some extent already existing. Not to mention how much time they had spent on the Groundbreaker).

They'd be having such a peaceful time away from the rest of the crew.

Oughhh hear me out, okay, Faith loves to bake. She doesn't even ask, she just makes Max hold her bag open while she starts collecting mock apples and after they finally head back to the ship she figures out how to make mock apple pie for the crew 😭 we already know Max doesn't care much for sweets (I wonder how sweet or tart a mock apple pie would be.. Faith girl what all Halcyon ingredients are you adding to that bad boy) but.. what if.... After everyone goes to bed...... He tries some anyway........ Because she made it..........

Most of what's bouncing around in my brain is them early on having wholesome bonding time in a spot just for the two of them. Just enjoying each other's company. Realizing they have genuine respect for each other, Faith feeling like she found a genuine friend who went to lengths further than anyone had in her entire life to make sure she survived. I am specifying Faith's feelings here intentionally. I write Max in a more complicated spot very blinded by his revenge scheme more or less unaware for a long while just how much the lines start blurring between his faith and his Faith. To put it succinctly. (Look I know I'm always drawing The Good Stuff™️ but in actuality their relationship is suchhhh a slow burn. They are not the most romantically inclined people lmao).

But also.. once she realizes she can talk to him when she needs to. I think coming back to this spot, off the ship, away from the crew, she just likes it there. She likes being there with him. She finds comfort in that spot.

OKAY BUT DO YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE WOULD BE CUTE.... they should come back here.. post-scylla and post-gorgon...... Ya'know......... The first being when they establish not wanting to be apart and the second being when they want to make that partnership a permanent one......... ASKING HER IN THE MOCK APPLE ORCHARDS WOULDN'T THAT BE DARLING ough okay I need a minute my brain is going too fast to comprehend

My Roseway ideas aren't the most cleaned up I know BUT so many important bonding moments exist and oughhhh LOOSE IDEAS ARE STILL WORTH TALKING ABOUT OKAYYYYY

I just want them to go mock apple picking together and learn how to get smiles out of each other and not understand why it makes their chests hurt but they know they need to do it again

ACTUALLYYYYY post-scylla when he's much more mellowed out and they're the closest they've been I think would be so so nice. they'd be so much softer and he'd probably be so much more involved in wanting to enjoy silly lil activities with her.....

Currently imagining him reading out loud to her, all the conversations they'd have, maybe he brings his tossball cards to show her, maybe they bring one of the lil games, have a lil makeshift picnic....

Godddd the transition between just how much enthusiasm he shows spending time with her is enough to make me explode. Can you see my vision. The reluctance, to the hesitancy, to becoming absolutely inseparable.

I HAVE A LOT TO THINK ABOUT BUT I'M GETTING SLEEPY SO SENDING IT!!!!!!

Literally feel free to add on or share your own thoughts I'm begging you lmao I promise there is so much room for ideas to be fleshed out and better put together, I'm mostly just spitballing what all I think would be incredibly fun ideas to work with. Plus I'm kind of thinking across the timeline and how much their relationship would change between each visit. And how over time they would enjoy it more and more and make each visit more special than the last.

WAIT BEFORE I LOSE THE THOUGHT!! They make a stop RIGHT BEFORE HEADING TO SCYLLA TO GO TO THE HERMIT'S LODGE!! Oh that could hurt so good omgggg. Okay okay I need to stop now I NEED TO STOP.

I found out just a day or so ago that God changes Abraham's name

[discobrainrot]

I've been listening to an embarrassing pop song, and all I can think of is Harry and Kim meeting in their early 20s, and Kim is still in his massively rebellious phase.

Maybe neither Kim nor Harry is in the RCM yet. Harry's a gym teacher. Maybe Kim is doing community service (cleaning up the schoolyard?) because he got caught being a delinquent. They strike up a friendship.

Maybe it's unlikely from the outside - but they're two people chewed up and spat out by the system. Harry just has more advantages than Kim.

Maybe Harry has started seeing Dora, or he's thinking about asking her out. He's head over heels, and it's so fucking painful for Kim to watch. Painful because he's jealous. Painful because he shouldn't be jealous. It makes him alternate between lashing out and being incredibly compassionate. It's confusing for both of them.

Maybe that jealousy spurs Kim on to show off for Harry - dragging him to races. Cars. Motorcycles. Bikes. Daredevil stunts done by people who see it as a win/win situation to survive a crash or go out in a blaze of glory. Kim participating in some of those races - speeding down the highway late at night. Drifting so hard that his shoulder almost touches the ground. Looking over and seeing Harry jumping to his feet. Out of fear? Out of pride? Doesn't matter. Harry sees him.

Maybe Harry notices he's not as interested in Dora. She's beautiful - so fucking beautiful - but she doesn't see him. She doesn't share the passion he does. She's gorgeous, but she's not cool. She doesn't like that he slips out to watch underground racing. She's not a fan of Kim.

Maybe Kim is Harry's first real friend since the other kids of the 15th Indotribe died out. Someone who sees Harry's curiosity and returns it with his own. A friendship that fills his lungs with light to the point of bursting. But he's never been hurt by friendship like this before. Friendship doesn't burn like this - that's reserved for wipeouts, booze, and love.

Maybe the first time they kiss, neither of them knows if it's a mistake.

Maybe the first time they kiss, neither of them cares.

Part of me misses the days when SHINee would release a Japanese album and like 4 of the songs on the album had music videos, mostly because it would take FOREVER for the actual album to come out. Ah, good times

A concept: griddlehark fic where harrow and gideon hook up and harrow is conflicted about it because she so desperately wants gideon but ‘I’m just another conquest to her, just another number to a add to her tally’ bc she’s head over heels for gideon, obvs but she also is blinded by her feelings and thinks that gideon is a mega babe who clearly gets tons of action and how it’s fine, it’s not what harrow wants but she’ll take why she can get, it’s fine

cut to cam and pal politely listening to harrow lament while side eyeing each other because they both know that gideon is a mega dweeb nerd who makes inappropriate puns all the time and actually has zero game
