Quinn Hughes: He views his partner as his world. He would do everything and anything for you. No matter his partner, he will never hurt you on purpose, and if he does, he is extremely gentle with you. He is respectful towards you and can get very protective of you. He tends to be playful and somewhat clingy

Jack Hughes: He adores you, you fill him with an indescribable feeling that he can only describe as overwhelming joy. Seeing you brightens up his day, and when you're together, even the darkest clouds disappear. He finds himself constantly finding ways to make you smile, and your laughter is like music to his ears. Every moment you spend together is a precious memory waiting to be created, and he wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. You are the missing piece in his life, and he is irrevocably and hopelessly in love with you.

Luke Hughes: He sees you as a ray of sunshine. He'll do anything to make you laugh and feel good. He has a soft spot for you and he can't deny it. It's his first serious relationship, so he does struggle at times to be completely open about his emotions. And he can't help himself feel a bit overwhelmed sometimes by your big feelings and open display of your emotions.

Nico Hischier: He views his partner as an equal but also someone that he has to protect. He will not only make you laugh but also cry at the same time but will also be there for emotional support.

He admires your intelligence and is always in awe of your ability to handle every situation with poise. He admires your loyalty, and your ability to take care of others.

Arber Xhekaj: Arber can come off as aloof, distant, cold, unapproachable, cynical, and jaded at times. With his partner, he is the polar opposite of who and how he presents himself. He’s tender, sweet, and incredibly protective. He will love you endlessly and unconditionally. He would give you the world if he could.

Masterlist

“It should be somewhere in here,” Julie spoke with the flashlight scanning the basement the Molina’s didn’t use. She was hunting for the spare cord her mother had always carried with the amp for the few times she played with her old band for fun.

Most of the stuff had found its way in the basement, collecting dust and leaving sadness in its wake. Reggie’s had snapped early this morning to his great disappointment and with no spare in sight.

As Julie’s hand brushed her old childhood dollhouse, a soft golden light gleamed from further back. Her brown eyes finding the corner when the golden glow was framing a square in the distance. Rocking back on the heels of her feet, Julie stared at the sight.

Faint music came from the surrounding area of the golden glow. The Puerto Rican is enthralled by the bewitching music coming from the back of the basement. Her sneakered feet walking closer to the wardrobe as the creak of a door came from it.

Julie halted as the sheet slipped off, revealing the old wood to her brown eyes and the golden glow brightening the room further. The telltale sound of noise behind her concealed by the music that grew louder and louder. The door unlatched itself with a form slamming the basement floor with a slam.

Julie stumbled back. A deep groan pulled from the stranger’s lips before Julie’s scream ripped through the once empty room. The cry of a male behind her joining the screams as Julie turned on her heel halting at the pure unadulterated fear on Alex’s face.

“What the hell?” Alex hissed, staring at the prone form of a girl with long hair intricately pinned in places. The formal hairstyle at war with the outfit Alex could just barely make out as a plaid skirt reaching mid-thigh over sheer black tights. The colour of the skirt concealed by the dim lighting.

“Peter.” The name slipped from your lips filled with anguish as you frantically crawled to the wardrobe to search it.

The scream of grief falling from your lips as your hand made contact with the wooden back of the wardrobe. Your arms wrapped around your middle as you collapsed into yourself as it cemented in your brain. Your life in Narnia ended in seconds.

“Excuse me? How the heck did you do that?” Julie’s terrified voice questioned as she fought her impulse to run. Just as she had from the boys when they first appeared in the studio.

The truth of the matter settling you swiftly turned to the voice surprised you had left yourself vulnerable to attack. Your wild eyes scanning the room for a sword, or even your bow that was always strapped to you. You found only a basement with old furniture instead and two teens staring shocked at you.

“Where-“

“Y/N?” The blonde boy gasped stumbling forward taken aback by the sudden appearance of his little sister. Your eyes meeting his blue confused before memories of him snapped in your brain previously hidden behind a wall.

“Alex?” You questioned, throwing yourself into his arms to wrap your arms around him as you dissolved into sobs. Alex melting into your body sobbing just as hard.

“I’m two seconds away from storming Dr. Turner’s office, I swear. First, three ghosts appear in my studio and now a girl out of a wardrobe also from the ’90s.” Julie muttered scrubbing her hand over her face. Your eyes wandering to her form in confusion at what she had said.

“’ also from the ’90s’?” You asked, stepping one step away from Alex who refused to let you go as if you would disappear once more, “What year is it?”

“How about we talk about this in the studio. Reggie and Luke are in the studio, I came to get Julie. You’ve been down here for a while.” Alex suggested with a look that Julie caught quickly. Alex didn’t want to prolong the reunion with the rest of the guys.

Alex walked up from the basement with Julie straight to the door with dozens of questions in his brain. This was a change he welcomed with open arms and a happy heart. The house was empty as Ray had taken Carlos to an all-day out of town baseball tournament.

Luke and Reggie’s voices drifted out from the studio blocked by the white barn doors only partially open. The two arguing about the band playing one of Reggie’s country songs on stage. Their attention not on the three people walking into the room as Luke stretched out on his back on his sofa. Reggie curled in one of the armchairs beside the couch.

“It’s not our sound!” Luke spoke, staring his bassist down with a heated glare that wasn’t as harsh as if it was someone else.

“Pop wasn’t either but look where we are now?” Reggie retorted with his arms crossed and a pout painted on his flushed face. Alex could sigh at the same debate that happened at least twice a week.

“Sunset Curve is pop now?” Your soft voice still tortured with loss bringing both the boys to the front of the studio. Standing uncomfortable in the clothing that revealed more skin in the fifteen years you had been in Narnia.

The gasps would have amused Alex had this sudden development not happened, especially when his long lost sister fell out of a wardrobe. Luke and Reggie stumbled to their feet in pure astonishment seeing the person they had dreamed of seeing one more time.

“Holy shit.” Luke choked blinking frantically as you sent an awkward smile to the face of the person that had haunted you for fifteen years.

“Y/N?” Reggie cried, raising both hands to cover his mouth as if it would hold in the heartbreaking sobs.

Julie took the initiative to step to the side to allow the reunion to happen without a distraction, but really it was impossible. A bomb could drop, and none of the ’90s teens would notice with their attention solely on each other.

“Are you a ghost?” Reggie questioned you with furrowed brows. Alex’s hand intertwined with yours.

At the familiar texture and comfort of your older brother’s comforting hand, your eyes clenched tight—tears building at the very different hands you had held for over a decade.

“Ghost?” You questioned, clearing your tight throat in bewilderment. Your e/c eyes changing between the three different eyes. The three boys shared a glance with each other, “Does anyone have a sweater I could borrow?”

Alex was surprised at the request, “You want a sweater? You adore midriff shirts.”

“That was before.” You simply stated, “So what has happened?”

That was the words that shattered the frozen form of Luke Patterson, who stumbled his way to hug you. His arms wrapping around, brought both relief but also guilt. This was the guy that had been the third party of your marriage without even knowing. The thoughts caused your muscles to tense, leading Luke to a different conclusion.

Luke believed you rejected his hug because you blamed him.

“You’re not a ghost?” Reggie questioned following as you sat on the sofa in such an uncharacteristic position.

Your posture entirely pin straight with an air of regality that went above the posture you had as a young Mercer. Alex’s eyebrows raised almost into his hairline at how you held yourself compared to the slight slouch you developed away from your parents. His blue eyes caught the calm mask that concealed your panic under a practised mask.

“You disappeared in 1994 after you spent supper with my family.” Luke softly started recalling the night his life first changed for the worse, “You left just before dark after time got away from us. You sent a smile before the plants hid your form and I never saw you again.”

A sad smile broke the mask you wore, “I’m sorry the fifteen years have made it difficult for memories.”

“Fifteen years?” Julie interrupted, bringing your attention to the girl in the corner with a soft voice. Her eyes couldn’t help scan you and Alex finding the similarities and differences, but she loved how relaxed Alex looked in your presence.

“Time is…different where I was.” The sentence was slow to leave your lips as your eye wandered the different version of the studio.

“Was it a black room?” Reggie inquired shifting for Julie to have space to sit down without her limbs moving through Reggie’s leg. Alex was quick to settle on your left side with Luke in the closest armchair to you.

“No?” You trailed off thinking of the years you had spent ruling a kingdom with your in-laws, “I-I think when I left Luke’s house, there was this music. Like a lullaby that drew me into this antique store and a voice out of a dream. I was entranced, and then I was in a different world.”

“You have an accent.” Luke implored finally seeing the mature difference in your demeanour, posture and personality, “Like it’s English but still sounds like you. Were you in England?”

The soft giggle came from your lips, “No. I swear on Aslan I wasn’t in England.”

Everyone was deaf to Julie’s confusion and her soft repeat of the name you whispered into the air. The word drawing a sense of having had heard it before it comes her way.

“Who’s Aslan?” Alex asked unclipping his infamous fanny pack to remove the pink sweater. He couldn’t help but see the way you tugged the plaid skirt down and your black crop top down.

Your hand grasped the soft material of the pink sweater, the first pink garment Alex had owned. His pride and joy of a sweater was slipped over your outfit landed past the hem of your skirt.

“He’s…” Your words broke off, trying to find a way how to tell them that Aslan ruled the entirety of Narnia. He created it, but he was a lion that could talk.

“I’d like to know how you’ve been in that wardrobe for so long!” Julie gushed unable to hold back her curiosity, “My parents got that as a wedding gift when they were moving into the house. It was shifted downstairs because my mom couldn’t let it go for the sentimental value.”

“I’m sorry but wardrobe? She came- you came out of a wardrobe?” Alex wondered, shaking his head before he said his infamous word, “Okay.”

“I was trying to find a spare cord for Reggie, but out of absolutely nowhere, this music came from the back area. This pretty golden hue lit up the room, and then she just fell out of the wardrobe.”

“I’m so confused,” Reggie whispered to himself, staring off into the distance at two things he had learnt.

You had gone missing before they died yet for you, only fifteen years had gone by.

You had been in a wardrobe. A wardrobe!

“So are you dead or not?” Julie asked next leaning forward to face you in anticipation for the new piece of information. Her inquisitive brown eyes glittering in the light of the studio as you tried to find the correct words.

“I’m alive.” You decided to go the simple route, “I’m guessing that you three are dead?”

Alex, Reggie and Luke all nodded with each other, “Street dogs. How aren’t you fazed?”

“Uh, I walked into a wardrobe. Joined a war, won the war, got crowned for the kingdom by Aslan, and grew up.” You tapped a finger for each piece of your fifteen years, much easier to just use your perspective, “Fifteen years ruling with Peter and his siblings.”

“Peter?” Alex inquired with one dark blonde eyebrow raised high with caution written clearly on his youthful face.

“My husband.” The words choked everyone in the damn room, and Luke felt like he could puke. The girl he was still very much in love with was now taken by someone else just weeks after he grieved the almost-relationship he could have had with you.

Adjusting to the new world, the third time in your, life wasn’t as difficult as you would have expected. Well, adapting to the technological advances and the new band Sunset Curve had evolved into. The relationship with Luke was at simplicity quite awkward, something Luke never anticipated when he envisioned finding you.

It was painful for everyone in the room with you two. You were trying to deal with the guilt of abandoning your kingdom, of your Narnian friends, of not being with the Pevensies. You had a strong suspicion they had returned back to England, and the time was the hardest to deal with.

Instead of 1994, the current year was 2020 for you—twenty-six years in this world but fifteen in Narnia. You didn’t look a day over your age in 1994. Looking in mirrors was startling every time to see your teen youth instead of the thirty-one-year-old.

Happily, the bond with Alex hadn’t diminished if anything it had gotten stronger. He was assimilating to the new fashion you liked. You had a more mature style and preferred modest outfits; the Narnian fashion was still very much part of you.

Reggie adored hearing the adventures you had done in Narnia, he grew a crush on the version of Lucy you told. He was definitely awed at how you had had a stable of horses that could talk, some weren’t vocal.

All three boys were jealous of the fact that despite being born in the late ’70s, you were alive in 2020. You could touch and interact with everyone while they only had each other, and now you. Flynn had been sceptical but grew to be friends with you.

For you, you would be found staring out the window in the attic of the Molina house where you had settled in. A rather long-winded explanation of being from overseas and your housing having fallen through. Ray and welcomed you into the home with open arms.

“Hey! We’re gonna go explore. Do you wanna come with us?” Alex asked from his spot near the door he had poked his head through. His smile turning upside down at the lost look in your eyes and fingers that played with the only evidence of your Narnian life.

The ring you had worn since Peter had proposed ten years ago with a specially designed ring by the best of the business. Cair Paravel’s military General, formerly of Aslan’s Army, Oreius’ sister Odette had personally pushed the contract to the front.

The ring was absolutely breathtaking of a moonstone set in a rose gold floral metal setting with tiny diamonds in a flora design. It was definitely made with the rarest rose gold, and the moonstone was personally found on a quest Peter had gone on. You were thrilled it had survived the return to the human world.

“Y/N?” Alex spoke once more, gaining your attention from the overcast sky with a bittersweet smile.

“Hey, Alex.” You replied, walking closer for the hug he had quickly made into a requirement every time he saw you.

“Reggie, Luke and I are going to explore if you want to join us.”

The offer was tempting even if you had to submit to being in an awkward environment with Luke Patterson. Seeing him each time brought that love that had overshadowed Peter’s love and that in itself brought tremendous guilt.

“I think I’ll hang here. Thank you for inviting me, Alex.” You softly replied as you retreated to the bed in the large renovated attic. Ray and Rose had renovated it into living space when Julie was still in elementary school.

Ray had spent a few months staying in the attic room after Rose passed away because he couldn’t even touch the doorknob. His sister in law Victoria had to help move things to the attic as Ray mourned his wife.

“I’ll be right back,” Alex told you before he poofed, something you still couldn’t wrap your mind around.

Instead of Alex returning it was Luke with that sheepish smile he adorned in the last week you had returned. Your e/c eyes widened in surprise when they met the hazel of his own.

“Luke.” You breathed astounded as he hesitantly walked closer, “Aren’t you going with Reggie and Alex?”

Luke’s hand gestured to the bed, “May I sit?”

“Yeah!” You nodded shifted to create distance between you and the guitarist that had once held your heart in his hands.

Things were different. The ring on your left hand said so. The wedding ceremony in Narnia said so. Yet your heart didn’t understand further than the yearning and love it throbbed with.

“Alex kinda hit some sense into me. This has been…a rather confusing time since that night in 1995.” Luke didn’t talk about his experience dying with anyone because he was still working through it. To avoid the pain and trauma, he focused on the band instead.

“I can attest to that. A week ago, I was with my family hunting for the White Stag content with my life. Next thing I knew I’m racing after Lucy into a wardrobe in which blasted me with memories.” You sighed thinking back to the banter with Edmund and Susan before Lucy uttered ‘Spare Oom’ of a distant time, “I feel terrible that I had no conscious recollection of my life before Narnia. I’d see a tall blonde in the crowd and have this sudden emotion of loss. I forgot about my own brother.”

“I can’t blame you for anything. You had a responsibility to an entire kingdom.”

“Part of me must have remembered because when I was gifted my horse, it asked me to name her. I chose Mercer without thinking about why. It’s always interested me in the reason behind the choice.” You played with the bedspread to avoid his face and the guilt of abandoning him unintentionally or not.

“How was the music in Narnia?” Luke inquired, bringing a neutral topic to once best friends in the process of recovering the friendship, “Any rock?”

The laugh lightened the heaviness in Luke’s chest and brought a smile to both the teens’ faces. Music was always one of the topics you could talk for hours with the band given the classical background you had.

“None that we had the honour of hearing.” The grin brought a smile to Luke’s face as well, and then some of the pieces of your friendship found their place in the frame.

“So, tell me more about this place.”

And so, you did as the sun set and then rose hours later while you were content to retell the tale of your time. The war with the White Witch and watching Edmund take his last breath and his first one after a drop from Lucy’s Cordial.

As you retold your tale of adventures to Luke, a quartet of siblings scoured a wardrobe decades before the conversation commenced.

A little girl sobbing for her lost sister and greatest friend while her oldest brother closed himself off. A seventeen-year-old closed himself off, finding it difficult adjusting to being a teen once more. As if he hadn’t lived fifteen years with his wife beside him. As if he never had a wife.

Above is the Narnia engagement ring reader wears from Peter

I am so grateful for the opportunity to celebrate our first 90 years in such spectacular fashion, and to the theatre community for its support. As we plan for the next 90 years and beyond, my hope is that the collection continues to grow and flourish and reflect the diversity of voices that have shaped the theatre as we know it and are shaping its future.”

“The Billy Rose Theatre Division has served as the collective memory for our community by capturing the ephemeral nature of our unique art form. Until we can all experience the joy of live theater again, we are thrilled to look back into the archives to highlight theatrical masterpieces from their vast collection,” said producers Julie Boardman and Nolan Doran. “Our hope is to raise funds to ensure the archives remain accessible to future theatre makers for generations to come.”

on the sword i mean

caleb tries to ID the orb

fjord touches it "sky is moonlit + cloudless, clothes not your own, nor body, overcoat + human skin. thick calloused skin. left hand stone. look down, see body of previous owner, dead in blood. natural landmass seawater night. flash. right hand grasps falchion. voice booms. potential. jams the stone into gut, cCONSUME. vanishes into belly. looks into water. REWARD." "Vandrin."

i dont kn ow what the fuck is going on.??? everyone else sees this o shit

oh shit is the eye the symbol of Fjord's patron?

"he was my mentor, a captain of mine. a man named Vandrin." Y: What happened to Vandrin? F: I'm not sure. he captained the ship i worked on for many years, and their was an incident. an explosion, terrible weather, waves, "i was knocked overboard" when f woke up he was back on shore

"how did you survive" "I'm not entirely sure."

explosion was sabotage.

the pool is saltwater.

Molly shoves Fjord's head into the water

comes up "You okay???" "Do it again" "Tap three times when you're done!" Fjord drowns

they take as much as possible up and out and decide to dynamite everything in. dramatic exit..

They take the bodies down and lay them in the swamp to rest and decompose.

Beau tries to pull Caleb aside and he just stonewalls her until she actually apologises.

Caleb "I give beauregard a hug and say 'idont know what im doing. just. go with it." BEau very AWKWARDLY hugs him back Beau consulting Fjord, Caleb consulting Yasha The entire other side of the table clapping.

Beau: UH. GOOD TALK. FRIEND. (awkward silence) Beau: Seriously though. Friend? (pause) Caleb: Uh. Ja. (brb dying)

there is a single yellow eye on the hilt of the falchion.

[roddytheruin]

This tax bill makes me so livid, not because the GOP is passing it despite all the vehement disapproval, that makes sense, most of them know they’ll never be re-elected ever again so they’re just trying to cash out.

The most infuriating part is all the MAGA people who are defending the bill, not because they believe it’s actually good deep in their hearts, but because they believe they don’t need the government or any social assistance. They imagine that all the money that is being “stolen from them” is only being stolen by “illegals” and “liberals” and are willfully blinding themselves to the fact that the vast majority of the wealth was NOT going to them, it was going to the already wealthy. All we’ve done now is make sure that that minuscule amount that we tried to keep safe for the lower and middle classes will disappear.

But if you tell them that, they won’t care.

Because at the same time, they are howling with joy at the fact that blue states are going to be taxed harder than red states, proving that this is not a principled belief in the “evils of taxation” or whatever libertarian nonsense they pretend to believe, but rather that they want other people to pay for them, so why not make it those race-betraying liberals? They know the Democratic Party would never do such a thing to poor Southern voters, or at the very least would show some shame over the decision, but in their minds such malignant hypocrisy is actually seen, not as a fault but as a defining strength.

And honestly? A part of me is kind of glad the plan is being passed. I look forward to more articles from the NYT and trumpgret Twitter posts about these poor, poor white voters who suddenly realize they might lose their homes and healthcare. But more than that, I want them to still be shouting about Hillary’s emails. I want them to keep lying about how DACA recipients deserve to be deported because they’re “stealing” from hard-working (white) Americans. 

I want them to keep doubling down as "the good immigrants” in their state are deported, their neighbors are forced into destitution and then jailed for non-violent offenses, as their own wives and daughters can no longer work b/c of their debilitating medical costs due to their unwanted pregnancies. I want them to reveal themselves for what they truly are so we can stop pretending that they, deep down, want to be saved.

In truth they just don’t care. 

Cut off your nose to spite your face? Nah, more like carve out your own eyes so you don’t have to look at a brown-skinned person.

And let’s be clear, majority of the poorest white people won’t feel the effects of this tax plan before vulnerable minorities do. When the left-leaning voters start suffering first, MAGA voters will just pat themselves on the back that their president finally did what he promised: punish the undesirables.

And when they have everything their violence-worshiping, spiteful little hearts desire, that’s when the Koch brothers and the Mercer Group will thank them for their hard work by letting the system take everything from them too.

And even then, some of them, won’t. Even. Care.

One day, when we look back on the vast swaths of death and decay that happened due to nothing but neglect and greed, and our children ask us why we allowed this to happen, we’ll be able to say without any reservation:

“No, no, this is what they wanted.”

Fire Emblem Heroes Theory Craft Hero: Shigure

“I'm at fault for being a child too long. My eyes have been closed. But my heart has been opened. I can imagine, a little, what it must feel like to live in your world. Still you find it in yourself to sing. And so must I.”

Alright, the end is near with this long series of Fates 2nd Gen Theory Crafts. To end it, we have Azura’s son and secretly Disney Princess: Shigure! He did appear in Heroes as a Singer, but that was for a limited time and not everyone was able to get him. If Shigure does come, he’s not going to be a dancer, but instead a Pegasus Knight. An incredible one in fact.

Since Shigure plays a big part on the Heirs of Fate DLC AND how his mother plays a huge part in all three routes in Fates, there’s a good chance Shigure can appear.

Now let’s get started with Shigure!

Shigure: Airborne Singer

Blue Lance Flier

Artist (I wish): Asatani Tomoyo (Eirika, Ephraim, Ayra, Berkut)

Voice Actor: Matthew Mercer

Stats: 36/36/37/24/29 (BST: 162)

I went all out for Shigure since he’s technically a trainee, so I’m assuming they’ll give Shigure boosted BST like they did recently with units such as Mia, Lute, Brave Ike, and Dorcas. His HP and Defense are low, with his Res stat being decent. Shigure’s Attack and Speed are top notch for a flying unit, making him a premier lance unit that can compete with other fliers such as Tana and Cordelia.

Skill-Set:

Weapon: Verðandi (16 Might: Grants all allies within 2 spaces +3 to all stats during combat) Locked to Shigure.

This is a reference to Preforming Arts Azura holding the legendary axe, Urðr. In Norse mythology, Urðr means “fate” in old Norse, while Verðandi meaning “present” or “happening”. Plus, one of the illustrations of Verðandi features a person with a pair of wings; going perfectly with Shigure’s Pegasus Knight class. Anyway, that’s something new you guys learned today. Now on to the effects. Not only is this weapon powerful, it provides a powerful Drive effect for every ally 2 spaces from Shigure. PA Azura’s weapon provides the +3 to all stats when she sings, whereas Shigure’s weapon provides the same, but it’s with a Drive effect and Panic Ploy will not effect those buffs in any way.

Special: Wave’s Wrath (Uses 30% of user’s Attack & Speed stat to damage dealt. Cooldown: 3). Locked to Shigure

Since I was tired of using Luna in some of my Theory Crafts, I thought I’d make a new one just for Shigure. This combines Draconic Aura and Ayra’s Regnal Astra (only by less). Since Shigure’s Attack and Speed stat are high, this means Shigure can deal 26 extra damage! Watch out everyone!

A-Slot: Atk/Def Bond 3 (Grants Atk/Def+5 to this unit during combat if unit is adjacent to an ally)

With Halloween Nowi about to leave, I thought Shigure can provide a cool Bond skill that most units can benefit from. This skill is for those who can master positioning their units just right. Atk/Def Bond will help with not only Shigure’s high attack, but will boost his Defense up, taking less damage from foes. Those +5 can mean a big difference of Life or Death.

B-Slot: Wings of Mercy 3

A good skill for Shigure to have to protect his weakened allies. Plus, it syncs very well with his A-Slot skill. Perfect for any team that he’s on!

C-Slot: Drive Speed 2

I want Shigure to be used for any team, so no Hone Fliers. However, Drive Speed 2 stacks very well with Verðandi, so Shigure can provide +6 SPEED to his allies if set up correctly! And it’s not effected by Panic Ploy, so his allies will have no worries about their stats getting debuffed at all.

With Shigure’s Theory Craft finished, all 22 Fates Children Theory Crafts are completed before the “Children of Fate” Banner appears on December 4th. While they took a while to write and think about, it was an absolute joy to think about ALL of their sets regardless on their ranking since I believe that any of these kids can make it. Some of them having a better chance due to certain conditions such as their rank in the CLY Polls or their parents playing an important role to the story.

I hope you guys enjoyed the series of the 2nd Gen Fates Characters Theory Crafts! When the “Children of Fate” banner hits, I’ll make a post comparing my set to the game’s official one, alongside their stats and see how close I came.

And I’ll still be making more of these Theory Crafts in the future, but after writing 22 Theory Crafts in less than a week, I need a break from them. They’re not going away, but you’ll see them really soon!

Until then, see ya later and have a nice day! ;D

EILEEN FARRELL

Sony Classical rinde homenaje a la gran Eileen Farrell con una caja con sus grabaciones para Columbia. A la venta el 31 de enero.

Sony Classical rinde homenaje a la gran soprano estadounidense Eileen Farrell (1920-2002) con la publicación de sus grabaciones completas para Columbia, entre 1946 y 1963, en una caja con 16 CD. Seis LP aparecen por primera vez en CD en Sony Classical y otros dos han sido remasterizados especialmente para esta edición.

Con esta edición, que será muy apreciada por los coleccionistas, se conmemora además el centenario del nacimiento de Farrell con una selección de su amplio repertorio que abarca desde Brünnhilde hasta Broadway y a compositores como Cherubini, Debussy, Gluck y Gershwin.

Entre las grabaciones incluidas en esta caja figuran los ensayos que realizó en Nueva York para el papel de Medea de Cherubini. Fidelity comparó la interpretación de Farrell de forma favorable frente a la de Maria Callas. Otros discos de ópera en esta colección presentan a la gran soprano en los recitales de arias de Verdi y Puccini. Y lo más impresionante llega en su clásica colaboración de Wagner, ganadora de un Grammy en 1961, con la Filarmónica de Nueva York y Leonard Bernstein, en las que mostró una nueva cálidez y espontaneidad.

Su grabación de “La inmolación de Brünnhilde” de El Ocaso de los Dioses y de los “Wesendonck Lieder” también están incluidas aquí y recibieron grandes elogios de crítica y público. La presencia de Farrell en los oratorios está representada por su contribución a la grabación de Bernstein en Nueva York en 1960 de la Missa solemnis de Beethoven, así como por el famosísimo El Mesías, grabado en Filadelfia con Ormandy en 1959.

Nacida en 1920 en Connecticut en una familia de artistas de vodevil, Farrell estudió con una contralto del Met y a los 20 años se mudó a Nueva York con su propio programa de radio en CBS, “Eileen Farrell Sings”. Duró siete años y la hizo famosa (Frank Sinatra fue uno de sus invitados), cantando una mezcla de arias, obras clásicas ligeras, baladas irlandesas y estándares de Broadway.

Esa diversidad está generosamente representada en la nueva edición de Sony. Las primeras grabaciones datan de 1946, durante los años de Farrell como estrella de la radiodifusión. Se trata de un grupo de canciones que celebra con orgullo la herencia irlandesa de la cantante. Al igual que muchos de los otros discos de la caja, aparece por primera vez en CD.

Entre la multitud de oyentes fascinados por el programa de radio de Farrell estaba Leopold Stokowski, con quien hizo su debut en la Filarmónica de Nueva York en 1949. El entonces director musical de la orquesta, Dimitri Mitropoulos, pronto se convirtió en su mentor, y en 1951 interpretó a Marie, de la ópera Wozzeck de Alban Berg, en el Carnegie Hall. Columbia lo grabó y lo lanzó. Finalmente, Farrell actuaría junto a la orquesta de Nueva York en más de 60 ocasiones.

Can you explain critical role to me?

yeah sure! i’ll try my best to include everything i need to say about this show;;

critical role is a webseries where a bunch of professional voice actors (e.g., ashley johnson, laura bailey, travis willingham, and more) play dungeons and dragons. that’s basically the gist of it. matt mercer, the voice of mccree in ovw, is the dungeon master and is an amazing storyteller and writer, and the other actors are just really awesome at roleplaying and improv. there have been multiple times when i’ve been moved to tears or pissing from laughter, it’s just…a good adventure 

you can watch it on youtube, unfortunately one of the aspects of cr that turn people away is the length of the episodes. they’ve been streaming their campaign for about 3 years now so there are a lot of 3-5 hour long episodes to go through. i started watching cr in may and binge-watched the hell out of it because of summer break. it’s now august and i’m on episode 81 out of 107. i would suggest doing what i did and binge watch it when you have a lot of free time OR just watch at least one episode a day. sometimes episodes get really suspenseful and they end on cliffhangers tho and you’ll want to keep watching c;

if you care about lgbt representation, critical role has multiple canon gay, bi, and nonbinary characters. these characters are important to the storyline, are fucking badass, experience same-gender attraction, casually flirt with those of the same gender, and enter romantic relationships. it’s handled amazingly well imo

if you’re like me, and need compelling and likable characters to enjoy a show, i personally love cr for this. each player character gets a chance to have their own backstory told thru the campaign and it’s really beautiful how things unfold and what you learn about the characters and their relationships with each other. characters are allowed to be flawed and it certainly shows. personally, my fav character is scanlan the gnome bard. i don’t know how that much joy, hilarity, and badassery can fit into such a small body like………he was ambushed by a bunch of guards and a hulking goliath and took them all on by himself with style and Aesthetic?? your fave could never*here’s a link to a post introducing the characters of the show that i read before watching that was really helpful 

you also don’t need to know anything about dnd or need to have played it before in order to understand what’s going on. based on other people’s experiences, you catch on pretty quickly. 

so yeah! i didn’t expect to write this much but. oh, and here is a video detailing what happened in their campaign before they began livestreaming it! youtube playlist

Gregg Allman Passes at 69

Gregg Allman, Soulful Trailblazer Of Southern Rock, Dies At 697 Hours Ago The Hollywood Reporter — Deborah Wilker

Gregg Allman, the soulful singer-songwriter and rock 'n' blues pioneer who founded The Allman Brothers Band with his late brother, Duane, and composed such classics as "Midnight Rider," "Melissa" and the epic concert jam "Whipping Post," has died at age 69, Billboard has learned. He was diagnosed with hepatitis C in 1999 and underwent a liver transplant in 2010.

With his long blond hair, cool facade and songs that chronicled restless, wounded lives, Allman came to personify the sexy, hard-living rock outlaw in a life marked by musical triumph and calamitous loss.

Billboard will have more information about the specifics behind Allman's death as the story develops. Allman fronted his band for 45 years, first alongside Duane and then as its sole namesake, after his older brother — regarded as one of the most influential guitarists in rock history — was killed in a motorcycle accident in November 1971, just as their trailblazing Southern rock tracks were taking hold on the charts. Soldiering on through grief and then the eerily similar death of bassist Berry Oakley just one year and 10 days after Duane died, Allman and the band became as well known for their stoic survival as they were for their freewheeling concerts. After years of tragedy, dramatic breakups and tense reconciliations, a reconstituted Allman Brothers Band engineered a renaissance starting in the mid-'90s that put their fiery brew of old-time blues, jazz and country rock squarely at the forefront of music's thriving jam scene. The Allmans' annual rite of spring — a three-week run of shows typically held every March at the historic Beacon Theatre on New York's Upper West Side — remade the band into a formidable commercial force in recent decades, long after many in the music industry had written them off. A gentle and at times fierce balladeer, Allman would spend the majority of these shows behind his Hammond organ, taking center stage only briefly, usually with his acoustic guitar for "Melissa," which would start quietly and then blossom into a freeform jam. With 238 concerts at the Beacon from 1989-2014, the Allmans had become such an important tenant that when the theater's new owner, The Madison Square Garden Co., announced plans for a renovation in 2006, Allman was consulted. His plain-spoken advice to executives: "Just don't screw it up." Gregory LeNoir Allman was born in Nashville on Dec. 8, 1947, slightly more than a year after Duane. Tragedy struck early for the brothers when their father, Willis Turner Allman, an Army captain who had just returned home, was shot and killed in 1949 while helping a hitchhiker. The family moved to Daytona Beach, Fla., but Allman returned to Nashville often to visit relatives, developing an interest in music while there, particularly after seeing a concert featuring Otis Redding, B.B. King, Jackie Wilson and Patti LaBelle on one life-changing bill. He bought his first guitar for $21.95 at Sears, but soon Duane was demanding to play it. The brothers became so consumed by their music, and so intent on continuing, that Gregg deliberately shot himself in one foot to gain a medical exemption from the Vietnam draft. (He had studied a skeletal chart to find the least damaging place to shoot.)

One of their early bands, The Escorts, evolved into the moderately successful Allman Joys. They toured the South relentlessly, endured an ill-fated label deal in California and were signed — along with Oakley, guitarist Dickey Betts and drummers Jai Johanny "Jaimoe" Johanson and Butch Trucks — as The Allman Brothers Band by Macon, Ga.-based Capricorn Records in 1969. The guys were enjoying a first rush of mainstream fame with the release of their third album, the landmark live set At Fillmore East, when Duane was killed in Macon after the motorcycle that he was piloting swerved to avoid a truck and crashed. He was 24. Still in shock, the band quickly resumed work on 1972's Eat a Peach, highlighted by its haunting opening track, "Ain't Wasting Time No More," Allman's enduring tribute to his brother. They summoned their strength once again after Oakley's death — also from a motorcycle crash just blocks from where Duane had been fatally injured — adding new members and recording 1973's Brothers and Sisters. That disc remained No. 1 on Billboard's album chart for five weeks and featured the Betts classics "Jessica" and "Ramblin' Man." The Allmans' fame grew exponentially, and in 1973 they played before a record-breaking 600,000 fans at The Summer Jam at Watkins Glen, N.Y., alongside the Grateful Dead and The Band. But in 1976, the group would endure the first of several rancorous splits, which saw Allman clashing most intensely with Betts for control. (The guitarist would be fired in 2000.) In 1975, Allman, then 27, was downing a quart of vodka a day, hooked on heroin and already on his third marriage — this time to Cher, ​the '60s pop icon who was then a star of CBS variety shows, first with former husband Sonny Bono and then on her own. But just nine days into the ​new ​union, Cher, distressed by Allman's drug use, walked out.

They reconciled, had a son, Elijah Blue Allman, and briefly became a recording duo, billing themselves as Allman and Woman. Their one record together, 1977's Two the Hard Way, was disparaged by critics and their divergent fan bases and was a particularly tough sell given Cher's professional reunion with Bono for a new CBS show at the time. Allman and Cher divorced in 1979.

During this era, Allman also was something of a grassroots political activist, helping put a little-known Jimmy Carter into the White House with an endless run of fundraising concerts. (When Macon's Mercer University bestowed an honorary doctorate upon Allman in May 2016, it was Carter who presented it.) In a 2015 interview with Dan Rather, Allman detailed his many failed attempts at rehab and how the stage could numb just about any kind of pain. "I've walked onstage with an abscessed tooth and as soon as you get out there, it goes away," Allman said. "Walk offstage, it comes back. It's the land of no pain." His determination to rebuild The Allman Brothers Band dovetailed with his first long stretch of sobriety, finally accomplished at age 47, soon after he saw a replay of his incoherent appearance ​during the group's 1995 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. They received Grammy's Lifetime Achievement Award in 2012.

By the time The Allman Brothers Band had added 20-year-old guitar prodigy Derek Trucks (nephew of the founding drummer) in 2000, they were finally settling into their most stable groove in three decades — a 15-year finale of sorts that lasted until the younger Trucks and fellow guitarist Warren Haynes decided to leave. The band called it day with one final Beacon run in 2014.

That same year, Allman was again linked with tragedy: The movie-set death of camera assistant Sarah Jones, who was working on the indie biopic Midnight Rider, based on Allman's 2012 autobiography, My Cross to Bear. After Jones was killed and six others injured, director Randall Miller wanted to continue with the film, but Allman begged him to drop the project. A prolific solo artist who also toured and recorded through the decades with his own Gregg Allman Band, he had his biggest solo radio hit in 1987, the catchy "I'm No Angel," which reached the top spot on Billboard's Album Rock Tracks chart. His nine solo albums included All My Friends, recorded at a 2014 tribute concert to him at the Fox Theatre in Atlanta, and 2015's Live: Back to Macon, GA. A new studio album, Southern Blood, is scheduled to be released this year. Allman canceled a round of concert dates in 2016 but got back on the road briefly last fall, performing his last known shows at his own Laid Back Festivals — Sept. 25 at Red Rocks Amphitheatre outside Denver and Oct. 29 at Lakewood Amphitheatre in Atlanta. He endured yet more heartbreak in January when Butch Trucks committed suicide at age 69.

In March, Allman announced that he was canceling all shows in 2017 and offered refunds to fans. His last song on stage appears to have been "One Way Out." In addition to Elijah Blue, his survivors include his other children Michael, Devon, Delilah and Layla.
