Hair Care

Masterpost | Read on Ao3

Thank you to @whump-kin for letting me borrow Calamine! This is for @augusnippets Day 2.

A moment between two mirror images.

Contains: Platonic hair brushing/braiding, fluff

~~~

Elze’ith couldn’t remember the last time he brushed someone else’s hair like this.

Well— no. Perhaps he could. He just didn’t want to look at the memories. Didn’t want to face the fact that he and Altair were so far apart, that he might never see his partner again.

But it was easy to keep those thoughts bottled away right now. There was a new face, a new voice, a new kindness. Calamine was soft-spoken, and curious, and young and old all at once. And he was a vampire, and that made Elze’ith uneasy, even as he felt bad for the response. But above all, Calamine showed Elze’ith kindness. Elze’ith would have wanted to do the same regardless, but there was new meaning to it now, a desire to strengthen that connection, a desire to repay what had been offered.

He was as gentle as he could be as he ran the brush through Calamine’s hair, and he didn’t think about anyone else he had done this for. When all of the tangles were gone, he set the brush aside, and began to braid a small section on the side. It wasn’t much; Calamine’s hair was too short to do anything elaborate. But it was a token of appreciation, a signal that Calamine was cared for in the same way he had cared for Elze’ith.

When he was done, Calamine smiled at him. Elze’ith smiled back, knowing he would do a lot more to see that simple joy again.

Mes 32 albums préférés de 2022 classés selon leurs pochettes (1 sur 4)

En ce début d'année, je vous partage une liste de mes albums/EPs favoris parus en 2022. Comme l'an passé, au lieu de les classer selon la musique, je les classe selon mon appréciation de leur pochette. Let's go! 🤠

32. Bob Vylan - Bob Vylan Presents The Price Of Life

(rock, punk, grime)

Excellent album punk qui est tombé à point cette année en offrant une critique violente du capitalisme. Cependant, le cover n'est pas du tout représentatif de la qualité de la musique, car il est absolument horrible. Un gratteux sur un fond blanc, ok... Je veux bien croire que ça donne une idée des valeurs véhiculés par l'album, mais si je ne connaissais pas déjà ce groupe je n'aurais jamais cliqué ce cover, quoi de plus laid qu'un gratteux...

Bob Vylan - GDP

31. Dope.Gng - Top Net

(hip-hop, rap queb)

Très très bon EP de Dope.Gng, contenant entre autre ma chanson préférée de l'année ''Brûler des condos''. Espérons qu'ils délaissent un peu le pop rap qu'ils ont adopté en fin d'année pour remettre de l'huile sur le feu.

Toutefois, n'étant ni violent, ni original, ni particulièrement attrayant, le cover n'est tout simplement pas à la hauteur. Tout c'que je veux c'est brûler ce cover.

Dope.Gng - Brûler des condos

30. BROCKHAMPTON - TM

(hip-hop, rap)

Ce dernier album du collectif hip-hop n'est pas trop cohérent, ni avant-gardiste, mais dans sa première moitié, il offre de solides bangers fun et vibrants, rappelant l'âge d'or de Brockhampton. Toutefois, ce cover manque cruellement d'inspiration. Plate, gris et minimaliste, il n'est pas du tout à l'image du groupe qui clôt son histoire.

BROCKHAMPTON - NEW SHOES

29. Rico Nasty - Las Ruinas

(punk rap, hip-hop, drum & bass)

''Las Ruinas'' est un album génial, Rico y délaisse un peu le trap metal, mais elle garde son attitude ''fuck you calîce'' en passant d'un style à l'autre, tout en restant toujours très catchy.

Toutefois, je ne suis pas un fan ni de photographie, ni du noir et blanc, alors cette pochette a tout pour me déplaire. Je n'y trouve rien d'accrocheur ou d'original.

Rico Nasty - Gotsta Get Paid

28. Banshee - FAIRY METAL

(trap metal, witch house, heavy metal, feminist)

Parlant de trap metal, Banshee livre ici un très cool EP, sans concession. Le projet est segmenté entre des tracks qui sont purement métal, alors que d'autres, comme ''Citadel'' penche davantage vers le rap witchy qu'on connaît à l'artiste.

Cependant, la pochette monochrome rouge manque d'originalité et ne sort absolument pas du lot. La photo générique et le logo en chrome font leur possible, mais sous ce filtre rouge, l'efficacité est limité.

Banshee - FAIRY METAL

27. Sèxe Illégal - Sp​ä​tkapitalismusik

(electrorock, pop, punk disco)

Y'a quelque chose de réconfortant à savoir qu'on est pas seul, que c'est pas juste nous qui voit la fin arriver à cause du capitalisme. Sèxe illégal offre un album ludique, déprimant dans son constat, mais qui est parsemé de beats catchy et de phrases poignantes telles que ''M'a m'pendre au Pizza Hut''. J'imagine que c'est voulu que la pochette soit semie laide, les maisons de banlieue hideuses vectorisées ont pas grand chose d'excitant. Je comprend la juxtaposition avec la grosse masse de couleur, mais je sais pas, tout cela me semble assez premier degré.

Sèxe Illégal - Sixième extinction de masse

26. Calamine - LESBIENNE WOKE SUR L'AUTOTUNE

(hip-hop, rap queb, rap féministe)

Calamine, voix féministe extrêmement importante dans la scène du rap québecois, nous sert un album un peu plus rythmé et bouncy que son précédent et c'est à mon plus grand plaisir. Toutefois, la pochette est extrême laide selon moi! 😪Je pense que c'est voulu que ça aie l'air garroché, mais les couleurs auraient pu être moins fades et l'ensemble aurait pu être plus gritty et spontané, tant qu'a y aller pour un style sketchy.

Calamine - Bad B*tch

25. william crooks - Running as fast as I can

(rap expérimental)

william crooks est un rappeur et producteur américain qui devrait être connu de tous les amateurs de rap expérimental abrasif. ''Running as fast as I can'' est légèrement moins percutant que ses dernières offrandes, mais des bijoux de clipping et de distorsion s'y trouve quand même. La pochette est quand à elle très plate et très laide, mais elle bénéficie au moins d'un certain dynamisme et d'une aura intrigante.

william crooks - Walk it off

24. Banshee - FAIRY PHONK

(phonk, screamo)

Avec son second EP de l'année, Banshee cette fois-ci mise sur le phonk, ce genre si prisé par les créateurs de tik toks et de vidéos de drift. Moins efficace que ''FAIRY METAL'', ce EP vaut quand même le détour, au moins pour son cover de Madonna. La pochette a le privilège d'être bumpée de quelques places vers le haut grâce à un détail très spécifique: le ciel mauve. Il solidifie pour moi l'intention du cover d'être un mini-peu dreamy et psychédélique.

Banshee - POSSESS ME

[angelnumber27]

I hate having to use steroid creams when my skin gets dry and itchy from eczema but literally nothing else works. Moisturizer doesn’t work nothing I could get at a store works or helps so I don’t really have a choice

Drown

Masterpost | Read on Ao3

Altair drowns. It doesn't stick, except for how it does.

A companion piece to this work by @whump-kin! (Go read it, it slaps) Also for @augusnippets Day 7

Contains: Drowning, temporary character death, resurrection, betrayal, panic and fear

~~~

Altair and Elze’ith had talked, before, about what they thought dying might be like. Fond grief in his eyes, Elze’ith would wistfully trace constellations and speak of souls rejoining the tapestries woven by the gods and last breaths becoming the first breath of a new life. There was some solace in that, even if it didn’t sound real. A promise of peace, of something better.

There was no peace in this death. There was just the cold, and the fear, and the betrayal. There was just Cal’s eyes, looking at him with a thousand emotions but no mercy. There was just the water filling his lungs, no matter how hard he tried to hold his breath, an inescapable fate.

His heartrate soared, and then it slowed. Somewhere in the back of his mind, Elze’ith screamed. And then, there was nothing.

Nothing but the fear and the dark and the soul-deep knowledge that he had failed.

A rush of magic that he shouldn’t have been able to feel wrapped around him so tenderly and pulled him back into an explosion of light and sound and sensation. His instinctual cry of alarm was instantly cut off as Altair choked on the water that hadn’t left him; eyes wide and unseeing, he spasmed and flailed until cold hands helped him onto his side so he could cough it all up. The touch made him terrified and grateful all at once.

Air had never tasted so sweet. Each breath was a miracle, a monumental effort that took all of his attention. He needed to keep breathing. The thought of anything else, of going back into the water, was fire and ice and lightning in his veins, overriding all else.

He had died. Wings bound and magic sealed, he had died. Killed with freedom just beyond his grasp. Killed without even knowing if Elze’ith was safe.

For the first time in weeks, he was alone in his head, and that made him want to cough up his own heart alongside the water that he spilled from his lungs.

Trembling and weak, he forced himself to look up at Cal. The man he thought might be able to help them. The man who had led Altair into the water to die. The man who had proved Altair’s every worst thought and fear about vampires correct.

Cal didn’t say anything. Altair didn’t either. There was nothing left to say.

Apparently all the neighbors are talking about how I was social yesterday and hung out with them and like... Yes it's nice seeing people sometimes, and I like the people who were hanging on the front porch while the power was out. But like... The power was out. I couldn't breathe inside, so ofc I was hanging out. No, I don't want to be outside today, because the power is back and I can breathe inside. But yes it was nice seeing everyone and bonding in our shared misery post-hurricane.

(apparently they're like "[Brenna] should come down more, she's so funny!" bc I was saying that I'd rather site beside Neighbor than Brian bc she wasn't rocking the glider swing thing we were sitting on and we were bonding over our husbands always moving the swing when we sit with them, and that makes both of us sick)
