#can you tell i'm getting sad while i listening to hozier???

[c0ffeeboy]

let me make you listen to Hozier while we sit on a random roof. let me tuck myself into your chest while 'Like Real People do' plays through the shared headphone we're wearing. run you fingers through my hair as i kiss your fingertips as we listen to my playlist. i'll let you make fun of my music taste. i'll let you skip any song you want. let me just fall asleep listening you hum along with the song you know. hold me close so i don't get cold. let us both forget there is a world outside of this rooftop.

I love making playlist as the first offering to the Deities that I'm going to work. It's my way to show them how invested I am to them

Maybe this is why I'm Apollo's devotee, maybe it's because I breathe music, I write poems that maybe could be a song. I listen to musics on repeat and when I'm tired of an specific song, I go to the next one.

I listen when I'm taking a shower, when I'm writing one of my multiple fanfictions, I listen when I'm washing and drying the dishes, when I just want to feel alive. Because sometimes I feel like I'm not real and maybe I'm actually a ghost or a lost soul wandering my own house.

And I have so many playlists, playlist for when I'm sad, for when I need calm music, to feel hot and baddass, to my own fictional characters, to my loved ones. So why I wouldn't I make one to the Deities that are going to take care of me? For the Deities that are so gentle and understanding when I tell them that I don't feel comfortable about offering food because I don't have a lot of money, but I can offer them poems, love letters and what more they want me to write?

Apollo reminds me of "Would That I" by Hozier, because it's such a song to be dancing while being bathed in the sunlight, feeling it's warmth and comfort. And I hope he thinks of me too when he listen to this song, because for me it's our song.

Athena is "Labour" by Paris Paloma, because it makes me feel empathic to my mother, my grandmother and so goes on. It's the song that makes me see, truly see, how much the world needs change, and Athena makes me want to change the world, makes me want to be independent and powerful and as intelligent as her.

Eros is Enchanted by Taylor Swift, he who started working with me recently but who took me under his wings, who helps me understand that it's okay to want a love even if I'm still trying to understand who I am. Who sees my attraction to the Idols that I like, who sees that I like more of the bad boy looking guys but who are actually softies, who sees the wounds that my father gave to my mom so he's making sure that I get a guy who treats me kindly, who doesn't yell at me and makes me feel angry all the damn time.

There's so many songs that I associate with them, and I love each one because it reminds me of them.

So if you want to start working with deities but don't know what to offer them first, try making a playlist. It's such a sweet sweet gesture, something so personal and kind and beautiful to do.

[thepriceofsurvival]

I head your Jean-coded playlist Nora, and I love it, but I will also provide my own. Mostly just because of my own music taste.

A little rock, a little punk, a little grunge, a touch pop, even some indie. And of course, so very very sad.

A few of the songs as well as some of the lyrics, just to convince you:

In My Time of Dying - Led Zeppelin

In my time of dying, want nobody to mourn All I want for you to do is take my body home {...} Oh, Saint Peter at the gates of Heaven Won’t you let me in? {...} I never did no harm, I never did no wrong I must’ve did somebody some good Oh, I believe I did

Brand New City - Mitski

I think my fate is losing its patience I think the ground is pulling me down I think my life is losing momentum I think my ways are wearing me down But if I gave up on being pretty, I wouldn't know how to be alive I should move to a brand new city and teach myself how to die Honey, what'd you take? What'd you take? Honey, look at me Tell me what you took, what'd you take?

Sunlight - Hozier

I would shun the light, share in evening's cool and quiet Who would trade that hum of night? For sunlight, sunlight, sunlight But whose heart would not take flight? Betray the moon as acolyte On first and fierce affirming sight Of sunlight, sunlight, sunlight

You’d Be Paranoid Too (If Everyone Was Out to Get You) - Waterparks

I learned to live with these eyes in my closet Hands in my pockets Alone, but surrounded I'm breathing, I'm drowning I haven't slept in days, but who's counting?

Wires - The Neighbourhood

We talked about making it I'm sorry that you never made it And it pains me just to hear you have to say it You knew the game and played it It kills to know that you have been defeated I see the wires pulling while you're breathing You knew you had a reason {...} He told me I should take it in Listen to every word he's speaking The wires getting older I can hear the way they're creaking As they're holding him

16, 16, Six - The Drips

Tell me what you wanna know I gotta tell you that I miss your voice Cause everything else I hear is a violent noise And it's breaking through to my soul {...} Take comfort in familiar face Carried me all over the place Fell in love the only way we could No one understood and no one could

Fight or Flight - Conan Grey

Well, fight or flight, I'd rather die Than have to cry in front of you Fight or flight, I'd rather lie Than tell you I'm in love with you

Giver - K.Flay

I'm learning to live I'm trying to be better I'm learning to give But I don't know if I'm a giver {...} I got so much soul in my body But no one keeping me honest And whole days turn into holes in my mind

You Know You're Right - Nirvana

I will never follow you I will never bother you Never speak a word again I will crawl away for good I will move away from here You won't be afraid of fear No thought was put into this I always knew it would come to this Things have never been so swell I have never failed to fail

Exit Music (For A FIlm) - Radiohead

Wake from your sleep The drying of your tears Today we escape, we escape Pack and get dressed Before your father hears us Before all hell breaks loose Breathe, keep breathing Don't lose your nerve Breathe, keep breathing I can't do this alone

Hysteria - Muse

'Cause I want it now I want it now Give me your heart and your soul And I'm breaking out I'm breaking out Last chance to lose control

Aneurism - Nirvana

Come on over, do the twist, aha Overdo it and have a fit, aha Love you so much, it makes me sick, aha Come on over and do the twist, aha Beat me out of me (beat it, beat it) Beat me out of me (beat it, beat it) Beat me out of me (beat it, beat it) {...}

Lydia - Highly Suspect

I've seen better days So unafraid in my youth I can't breathe, much less believe You gave everything you had Every little thing you had A true love unrehearsed I've seen your best and worst And at your worst, you're still the best But at my best, I am the worst It's a curse

Devil In Me 22-20s

I don't live, I just breathe I don't give and I don't recieve And I'll never get the devil Outside of me, outside of me I don't get all the good things You said I'd see, you said I'd see And I don't see the light Surrounding me, surrounding me

Dream On - Aerosmith

Every time that I look in the mirror All these lines on my face getting clearer The past is gone Oh, it went by like dusk to dawn Isn't that the way?

Don't Matter - Kings of Leon

You're not a man everybody says But it don't matter to me Dirty feet on my seat But it don't matter to me Break my heart, tear me apart It don't matter to me no, no I put a shine in your eye It don't matter to me 'Cause it's always the same And I'm always the same

[schrijverr]

for the writer’s wrapped: 3, 20, 27, 29, and 30:)

3. What work are you most proud of (regardless kudos/hits)?

Oehh, that's a hard one, I like all my works (bc i am very egotistical haha), but I am most proud of I Found Myself a Cheerleader and The Queer Lives of the Party-verse. I've finally been getting into writing longer works and I'm proud of managing longer stories, as well as experimenting with how to tell a story :D

20. Which work of yours have you reread the most?

Well, probably I Found Myself a Cheerleader, but mostly bc I had to edit that to hell and back as I posted/wrote it lmao. For my own enjoyment, though? I think it has to be My Stabwound, Not Our Stabwound from this year.

27. What do you listen to while writing?

Okay, so if you're wondering why my work is Like That lmao, I have a playlist that I called 'Melancholy & Sad Feels' for when I write, but I also listen to the Howl's Moving Castle soundtrack, the LOTR soundtrack (specifically the Two Towers) and this year a bit of Hozier's new album, but mostly my sad feels playlist lmao xp

29. Favorite line/passage you wrote this year?

Oef that's a difficult one! I think, I really like this bit of internal monologue from Religion of the All in the One:

He’s not brave enough to have other s question his Truth. The Truth that took his limbs and Al’s body, meaning that It still has them and It is the only thing that can give them back. Ed can’t waver in that belief, but putting it into words makes him sound insane. It’s better to be an atheist, who has a disdain for religion than a religious nut, who looks down on other religions, because he has proof of his God.

Because Ed and his realtionship to Truth is so fascinating to me and I do really like this take on him :D

30. Biggest surprise while writing this year?

That I managed to keep it up honestly haha, I thought for sure that it would be a slow year, because I have gotten my BA with an extra minor and have now started my master. I thought I would drown in work and not be able to indulge my hobby, but it's been a great stress relief and I've actually never written as much as I have this year (guess I really, really needed that stress relief lmao), which I'm very happy about, because I've had so many lovely interactions this year that have kept me going <333

~

Thank you so so much for this ask, I really enjoyed looking back on the year and reflecting. I hope you have a wonderful day <3

[forlorn-crows]

Sorry i'm so late to this response, but the reasonings behind these hozier songs for mounty!! while these are all love songs (and listen, side note, doing this annotation made me realize, holy fuck, all of these are mtndew songs, someone call kroas) im viewing them, for strictly mountain purposes, as his love for the earth and his element. i can go even DEEPER in analysis on how they're mtndew songs, but for the time being, here's my current annotations.

Wasteland, Baby!: It's a song about romanticizing the end of the world!!! That's adorable!!! i view it more as mountain loving the earth despite its flaws- dirt boys a big softie :) "Wasteland, baby, I'm in love, I'm in love with you" and "And I love too, That love soon might end"

Shrike: Because of how people portray Mountain as quiet and timid, so "I couldn't utter my love when it counted" and "I couldn't whisper when you needed it shouted". Also a shrike (a type of bird) and he's an earth ghoul, so the line "As the shrike to your sharp, And glorious thorn" works- it's just a little love song (all of hozier songs are)

NFWMB: this is a lot like Wasteland, Baby! where, while it's a love song, it's about mountains love for the earth :) "Nothing fucks with my baby, Nothing can get a look in on my baby" nothing is fucking with mother earth!!! he is protecting her!!! i love him sm :)))

Sunlight: i imagine, as an earth ghoul, mountain would've absolutely adored being on the surface, and ESPECIALLY adored the sun. that's his girlfriend you guys, he loves that flaming star up there. "On first and fierce affirming sight, Of sunlight, sunlight, sunlight" He saw that sun and was like "holy shit.". "Each day, you'd rise with me" He wakes up early to watch the sun rise and greets it with a little good morning, prove me wrong.

Movement: (this song actually reminds me more of rain) "So move me, baby, Shake like the bough of a willow tree" i read that line and thought "Oh yeah, mountain would love that" but it's totally a Rain song, so i apologize.

Run: THIS. SONG. IT IS LITERALLY ABOUT THE EARTH BEING DESCRIBED AS AN ETHEREAL BEING BUT ALSO HAVING A RIGID PERSONALITY. It is literally about the earth and the sea being a married couple, what more do i need to say, mountain eats that right up.

In the Woods Somewhere: I imagine this would be a more primal version of Mountain, but it still shows compassion in a way? it's about losing a lover in the forest, but it's also about running from a monster? so? im thinking primal ghouls, you tell me. I also like the lines about the fox, "A fox it was / He shook, afraid / I spoke no words, no sound he made / His bone exposed / His hind was lame / I raised a stone to end his pain" it's just showing that he's still an earth ghoul even when he's seemed to lose humanity.

In a Week: IT'S ABOUT DECAYING WITH A LOVER??? NEED I SAY MORE?? "I have never known peace, Like the damp grass that yields to me" & "We lay here for years or for hours / Thrown here or found / To freeze or to thaw / So long we become the flowers" & "After the insects have made their claim / I'd be home with you / I'd be home with you" DO I NEED TO EXPLAIN MORE

Be: I have no real reason behind this one, i just like the idea of mountain witnessing global warming and extinction and just getting really sad, so the lines "Be, be, be, be, be / Be as you've always been" is just him wanting the earth to revert back to being healthy and natural.

That's my take! I'm not a huge fan honestly, after I realized how mtndew centric these songs were, my focus shifted and it's all I could think about :// but here we are!! I hope you enjoyed my rambling, and thank you for letting me do so <3

-🖤

heart. heart. thank you for this. i loved reading all your explanations!

i love this idea of mountain's relationship with his element and the earth itself. i think he would hold such reverence for mother earth and sorrow for the changes humans have caused.

"If I was born as a blackthorn tree / I'd wanna be felled by you, held by you / Fuel the pyre of your enemies" like that is mountain to the core (and the stanza following this just hits mountaindew SO hard).

i would love to know your thoughts on any mumford and sons songs, if you're a fan. been listening to them again and haven't had one jump out at me yet, but they, like hozier, have so many well-written lyrics im sure there's something. only if ya want.

[rinnepegger]

this is for the “event 🥺🥺🥺”

hallo! my names bunny! my pronouns are they/he, m requesting a match up for twisted wonderland! now let’s get into it :)

my favorite music genre is probably alternative/indie although i’ll listen to anything but k-pop (nothing wrong w/ it just not my cup of tea). my top songs of all time include artists like, harry styles, hozier, my chemical romance, fall out boy, and conan gray.

a significant memory i have of when i was a child, was probably when i swallowed a tooth pick- i was at a halloween party, and i was hungry af, and for whatever reason the little sandwich i grabbed had toothpicks and i ate all those first, so as m eatin the rest of my food i guess i accidentally picked up a toothpick, and i didn’t know till it was stuck in my throat. and i say there for like 5 minutes just trying to fully get the tooth pick down. after i realized i couldn’t i looked at my friends and was like “y’all i think i swallowed a toothpick” they start panicking so i go to my mom to tell her and then i puke it back up in front of my mom. now she’s freaking out, i explain to her what happened and went back to eat like nothing ever happened.

m a cat person despite the fact that i am allergic to animals :)

i am an ambivert (meaning m both extrovert and introverted) but i learn more towards wanting to date introverts. m also attracted to patient people and people who are homebodies as i am one as well (i only really like going to the park or to go get food). also gamers!!! m not a gamer in any way whatsoever! but i love watching people game! it’s so fun and interesting! (my favorite youtuber is markiplier :))) also my love language is physical touch so m attracted to people who hate being touched (IDK WHY LMAO)

i have not attended an all girls christian school, as i am not a girl nor a christian (m a pagan!!)

i sleep with two body pillows (one as a pillow and one to cuddle) two pillows, and so many stuffed animals. i even have a lil nest on the conner of my room filled with my favorite stuffed animals and a really soft blanket (i lay there when m sad or super burnt out)

anyways i hope this was enough!! :))

YAYYY thanks for participating :DdDDagag you and your stupid toothpicks LMAO but based off your description of attractive qualities there is only one person I can match you with....

I mathc you with.... (🥁🥁🥁)

Riddle Rosehearts!

I'm kidding it's Idia Shroud

Fulfilling the basic criteria of yours and more, you just so happen to fulfill his as well! Wow! What a big surprise!

Barely able to keep up with your slightly chaotic energy, he often stresses over you, trying to get you to play video games with him instead.

However, if you don't feel like playing, it's completely alright as well! He'll just pull out a second chair so you can sit next to him and watch him play, as he explains the game and controls to you (if you ever feel like playing.)

He somehow has a long ass list of things to keep you two occupied since you don't go out much, but sometimes you just want to chill with him; be it laze around or him teaching you to draw, anything that would pull him back to reality for just a while.

Though it may not seem like it, he really enjoys when you sling your arms around and rest your chin on his shoulders. He may tell you to get off, but his body language and expression says otherwise; it's not that he's totally uncomfortable, he just can't admit that he wants more of your touch.

Despite how touchy-feely you may get at times, he can never grow used to it. Overstimulating to his senses? Embarrassing in general? We'll never know what's his deal. He often hides his face in his hands to cover his flaming red cheeks, or rest his head on his table as he whines and grumbles about how embarrassing you are.

But don't feel discouraged! Ignore whatever the fuck he's saying and just keep supplying him with your love; he absolutely loves and craves for it, he just doesn't know how to ask for it.

Don't be surprised if he has a discord server with kittens, however... Low chance that he wouldn't have one.

But if you propose the idea, Idia can't really deny that trolling thirsty guys on discord is a bad idea...

You two snickering behind the screen with snacks in hand, brewing up another cringy sentence that his 'kitten' would say.

"Valentine's day is coming... If I send you some pics can u gift me nitro 🥺"

While you two proceed to go on Pinterest and search up some catfish photo idfk.

He enjoys rambling to you about his current hyperfixations, or the dramatic plot twist in the manga he's reading. He may get carried away at times, but this side of him isn't the most common. Not to mention his voice it's so cute wtf

[imagining-in-the-margins]

Anon Asks ! (+one NSFW one below)

1. Awe, you're not selfish. I completely understand why you feel left out. Unfortunately, people already read my SFW stuff at such a lower rate that I'm afraid a SFW Series would totally bomb. Unless I was extremely motivated, I don't see myself being able to do it.

Do me a favor and send me another Anon about SFW Series recommendations. I just asked my Discord, but I want to give them some time to respond!

2. You are so wonderful. Thank you for sending me such a lovely message not once, but twice. I appreciate you taking your time to read my work and then go even further and tell me about it.

I hope you have the best day ever 😭

3. They've been friends since they were teenagers! Las Vegas is a surprisingly small place, all things considered. They promised him back then they would let him direct a music video if they ever made it big. It's very cute.

4. Who, me? Naaah, I'm just a worm 😉 (does anyone recognize this reference? or do I just look silly?)

5. I'm assuming this is about Quid Pro Quo (although it could also be about Fuzzy Pants, lol), and I'm so happy you think so! I was worried it'd be a bit too niche, but it's great to see people enjoying it 🤗

6. I don't think I'll be able to swing a whole series of that, but I do have a couple Virgin Post-Prison Spencer WIPs. I also plan on writing a Virgin Spencer mini-series after TB&TB (called Centerfold), but it takes place when he's in graduate school/ten years later.

7. Ah, you are so sweet. And yes, I have been writing quite a lot of that lanky fucker, huh... The truth is, my answer is very simple and can be summed up in a very funny way. How do I keep writing him?

✨ a u t i s m ✨

I can honestly say I have never, ever bored myself out of anything. Other things just became more interesting for a little while. Matthew was one of my first ever special interests as a young teen. I cycle through mine for periods of a couple years at a time (I popped in here hot off my Naruto re-emergence).

Whereas a lot of people go through interests in much shorter bursts (especially those with ADHD), autistic people have a tendency to fixate for much, much longer periods. There is nothing wrong with you, we are just different ☺️

I use the "Other" MGG characters to grant myself the freedom to do other things. I honestly really wanted this to be a multi-fandom blog, but I was immediately inundated with Spencer requests that never stopped.

Maybe one day I'll introduce another obsession, but I don't see it in my immediate future. I usually have a pretty good warning that I'm slipping out of the fandom. Right now I'm mostly just sad people are leaving. I'm still going strong though, lmao!

8. I'm a firm believer in the idea that Laziness Does Not Exist, but I totally understand. You're actually describing something experienced by ALL writers, although having ADHD will no doubt exacerbate the problems. I do not have ADHD, but the good news is that ADHD has a large number of treatment options (both pharmaceutical and otherwise).

I think you can talk to a trusted adult about it if you'd like. I know very little about the diagnostic process of ADHD, but I do know that it's significantly more straightforward than most autistic testing. A number of my friends got a diagnosis in less than a month (granted, they are all adults, and their parents were willing to cooperate).

A diagnosis won't make your parents (or anyone else) believe you, though. It's just one of those things you have to learn to deal with. But with the case of ADHD specifically, because there are pharmaceutical treatments, it might be worth it. I personally absolutely abhor stimulants (and am also medically contraindicated). But I'm autistic, so they don't help me, lol!

As for being more motivated generally, I think a lot of it is literally just forcing yourself to do it. You have to get over this idea of writing it perfect and just start writing SOMETHING, even if it's garbage. You can always edit it.

Fanfiction is so much easier with this because it doesn't have to be perfect, or even good (lol). It's just for fun! It's not an easy thing to do, but it is so rewarding. I know a lot of people in my Discord like utilizing our Writer Bot to have writing "sprints" where you are timed and see how many words you can write in short bursts.

Not how I function, but it works for some people! We are all different, and that's what makes us wonderful 🥰

9. Awwwe, I have so many Hozier songs on their playlist! I listen to him whenever I need general inspiration. Like most basic white bitches, I do love me some Hozier. Also, I am honored.

NSFW WARNING, MINORS DNI

Hahah, good news is I have a number of fics about that premise! H2M, Different Kind of Daddy, Big Bad Wolf, Protege, sections of the NSFW Alphabet, Thimble of Honey, aaand... Spoiled. I think that's most of them.

It will come up VERY briefly in TB&TB. I'm positive I have other Spencer WIPs that include it, but I couldn't tell you which ones. It's requested of me very often 😅 which is fine, it is a kink I have IRL!

I agree, though. It makes me feel things.

[colour-outside-the-liness]

Hey, I'm doing good too. Just normal amounts of stressful stuff right now. Just moved to a country I've never been to before but can't complain, things are not as hard as the last time I did this so. Thanks for asking! Yeah, I saw you posting about some pretty scary health issues before, I'm glad you came out of that alive and hope you're healthier now!

The nerve some people have! Haha I know I would be pissed if people were questioning my intelligence like that especially after a couple of drinks in haha. Though I do like taunting people when I play group games, I'll be like "don't need to try that hard guys, you're gonna lose anyway" just to mess with them or just call people sore losers if they accuse me of cheating haha (they're probably right on the accusations tho). People get real mad sometimes it's kinda funny. 😂

Omg literally laughed out loud reading this! Hahaha, how did you manage to fall over a road sign then end up in a ditch? lol omg hope you didn't get hurt too bad 😂 I was trying to downplay my drunken escapades but since you shared yours I should tell you my worst one:

I was at this summer street party at night and got drunk on something made out of tropical herbs and cachaça (which is about 48% alcohol), drank 3 and a half bottles of that like it was apple juice, made friends with a bunch of strangers in a bathroom queue (who tried to talk to me weeks later but I had no idea who they were), had to be held by my best friend while I peed (mostly missing the toilet), fell in the middle of the street and scraped my knee, threatened this boy who was helping me walk and told him not to try anything funny or I would beat him up, then dragged my friends to the beach and left them shortly after to go make out with my ex, came back with lipstick all over my mouth and chin and when my friends asked what I was doing I said I was just talking to my ex and they were like NO YOU WERE NOT, hahaha then I kissed all my girl friends on a dare and we danced under the full moon, then I told my best friend I had to puke so she took me to the ocean but I changed my mind and happened to step on a dead turtle on the way back and started crying bc of it, but last month my best friend told me it was a rock I had stepped on (I believed it was a dead turtle for 7 years!). Had the worst hangover of my life the next day. ✌️✨

Ah I'm happy you liked it! I've never listened to Six musical before but it sounds fun! I can see why you like it haha made me want to dance around my apartment 💃. And hey if liking musicals is your thing then it's great, I'm sure Hozier will understand if he's not your top artist of the year. 😋 Here's my "damie" Pinterest board if you or anyone else wants to check it out, totally recommend making one if you're a visual person like me!

https://pin.it/UcHVlkq

Oh I could talk about Dani and Jamie forever I think. I love the beast in the jungle speech too and it's so painful to watch, VP delivered that beautifully, but I have to admit I'm always a crying mess from episode 1 when older Jamie starts reciting that song about being sad while waiting for her lover to return, this show is fucking cruel I hate it and love it at the same time hahaha. Omg your mom 😂 but I mean it's truly an honor to be compared to someone like Dani, no? She's really great even if she needs a little help haha (don't we all).

Aaah you're amazing! Thank you so much, I'll read this pirate AU soon!

I used to draw a lot, really loved doing it when I was a kid as I said before, and all throughout adulthood too but I haven't done that in almost a year now bc I've got a bit of a case of burnout I guess, it just takes a lot of effort to do it when it shouldn't be like that at all. I used to do fanart too, for other fandoms. Even made one for Dani x Jamie but ended up not liking how it turned out haha. I've got a lot of respect for writers and fanfic writers also! Yall can make words make sense in really interesting and beautiful ways, build worlds so enthralling I can see them vividly in my head. Writing is such an incredibly fascinating skill to have! And I guess the most important thing is that we enjoy doing these things right? Even if we think we're not particularly good at it.

Anyway, have a lovely weekend! 👋✨

Good I'm glad you're doing great but sorry you're dealing with stressful stuff!! Hope living in a new country goes well for you I'm so jealous that you've lived in different countries I'd love to live somewhere else even if just for s few years!! Awwh thank you so much I definitely came out of it alive and am feeling so much better now thank you I mean I do some pretty ditzy things so when people say it to me it's pretty deserved sometimes, I'm secretly smart and people just don't expect it so I never mind too much haha I might have to start saying the things that you do and just taunting them over it I mean, I usually do win even when they make me answer different questions so I will definitely have to start saying things like that to them Haha I love that you're just like "yeah they're probably right in their accusations" I agree seeing how mad some people get over games and stuff is funny (it's me I'm people I hate loosing games depending on what it is and I am very competitive) So it was very dark and all we had for light was my roommates flashlight on her phone but while we were walking home a friend of ours that lived else where kept texting her to make sure we were still safe (my phone as dead at this point) so while she was texting him her flashlight was facing down and someone had moved this road sign to the footpath and it was on that sits on the floor so while I couldn't see it I walked into it and fell over it but while I feel I grabbed hold of it and flipped with it and fell in a ditch with it on top of me... I was fine and was just laid laughing while my friend looked down at me and in the most northern accent ever just said "get up you dickhead." and helped me off of the floor and then asked if I was okay... and I was so it was all good!! Haha 😂 I love this drunken story that sounds like one hell of a night and is a roller coaster from start to finish!! I'm sorry you thought you had stood on a dead turtle for 7 years though, someone really should've told you that it was just a rock!! But that sounds like my kind of night!! I love nights like that... stories that will last a life time... the only down side is the hangover... luckily I have only ever had one hang over in my life and it wasn't the morning after the road sign fiasco... I felt surprisingly good the morning after that haha 😂 It's such a good musical it's about Henry VIII wives and I just love everything to do with his wives and that musical is so much fun and actually gives a little insight to the lives the six Tudor queens had away from Henry and with him because at school we're mainly just taught about him which sucks!! I loved the Hozier song and am definitely gonna have to listen to more of his stuff!! I love musicals so much I mainly listen to musical soundtracks at the minute- usually, Legally Blonde and Six on repeat haha 😂 Ooo thank you I will definitely check out this Pinterest board thanks for sending it to me!! I could talk about them forever too... since watching Bly Manor my niece has been asking me so many questions about it and I am more than happy to talk to her about it haha!! The beast in the jungle speech just breaks my heart every time I relate to it so much and VP just delivers it so beautifully!! Oh yeah now I know at the beginning that it's older Jamie I am just a wreck the whole show is just so beautiful and heart breaking at the same time I LOVE IT!! Even though it makes me sob- I keep putting myself through it!! I mean, yeah I was happy that she said it Dani is great but it was the way she said it... my mum can be something else sometimes... she said she thought Dani was like me the first time she does the accent when she says "I've fallen quite in love with London" because I just randomly do accents a lot too but it was the way she was like "She needs help... but I like her she reminds me of you" I was just like... "Should I go get help?" I still don't know the answer to my question about if I need help or not but I mean I probably do need it You're welcome I really hope you like it!! It's a

great fic I love it!! Yeah I get that if stuff starts taking too much effort and burns you out you're not gonna wanna keep doing it so it's understandable that you stopped!! I think fan art is great and I really would love to be able to do it myself but I just don't have the skill it takes!! Awwh it's a shame you didn't like the Dani x Jamie one you did I would've loved to have seen it!! Honestly there are so many talented writers out there and when I read their fics I am just in awe of the worlds they have built and the stories they have created we are so blessed in this fandom to have so many amazing writers and so many amazing fics out there Oh yeah definitely its important to enjoy what you do!! I know I love writing and love writing fics for Dani and Jamie so I think I'll be doing it for a while even if I'm not great at it haha Awwh thank you very much I hope you have a great weekend too!! ☺️

"un claduros sugeti pula" listen i died. i think you're very valid for this and not overreacting at all!

i think the basic problem that we as romanians share (generally speaking, of course, i'm aware there are individuals who are exceptions) is the fact that we have a genuine lack of basic human decency and mutual respect for a person we don't know. and i mean in any environment. from retail workers you ask for help who look at you like you asked them to hand-sew you the clothing article and comment passive aggressively while 'helping you' (speaking from experience) to the non-reactions that non-conventional artists experience, like in the 2019 ritual.

yk what they say romania is a beautiful country, too bad it's inhabited.

i was talking to my friend about this whole thing on the phone like an hour ago and while she isn't into ghost or rock/metal she has unfortunately been forced to hear and watch a shitton of ghost stuff because of my obsession. and when i told her hey did you know they apparently performed in bucharest too, she was like no shit what? ("ba esti prost?" to quote) and even she could tell how shitty it must have been for everyone on stage when the crowd had that attitude.

what bugs me more is that a lot of romanians i've met who like rock and attend concerts like that metallica one in 2019 consider themselves much better than everyone else (the whole "ba eu sunt roacher nu ascult prostii") and then you have these people in front of you who are putting on an amazing show and you just act like you're too good for it. but you don't even bother to appreciate and/or acknowledge the sheer amount of work that they put into those shows, the skill and talent of tobias and everyone underneath those masks. like come on you don't need to know who is under the mask to see how nice they play. like i didn't know who per was or that he was behind the mask but it took i think 2 videos for me to have such deep respect and appreciation for the way he plays -- and that goes for literally everybody on that stage.

anyway oops i rambled.

the attitude is a big problem. buying a ticket doesn't make you entitled to anything at all other than the basic decency an artist can offer while on stage. if that's not your cup of tea you can just not attend as op said but also: you are allowed to not enjoy a specific piece of art without trashing the artist or being rude about it. lemme give you an example: a few nights ago i went to hozier. i of course was so excited and all that and i was there quite early because i wanted to see the opening act too. i had no idea who the last dinner party was, i hadn't even listened to their songs. and then they came out on stage and did their set and i was blown away. but as they got off the stage and we waited for hozier i couldn't help but think back to how the venue was just then filling up, how they played to an almost empty concert hall, how people didn't pay attention during their set or used it to go get drinks or food or merch or go smoke. and these girls played so well but does it matter? does it matter when you won't even give them the chance to show you what they can do? when they don't even have to fight to catch your attention because you didn't even deign to give it to them from the beginning. while this wasnt in romania, this is something that happens almost always in romania and i've seen it every time i attended any kind of event or concert.

it's embarassing and sad to see how romanian people act and furthermore it makes me feel bad for all the artists who want to try and include more countries in their tours only to end up with situations like these. and all i can say is that i'm sorry for the artists who have to experience this (whether music or any kind of other art).

regrettably i'm thinking about the 2019 bucharest ritual again

So the one and only time (so far) that Ghost has been in Romania, it was in 2019 where they opened for Metallica at the National Arena. And it was... rough

(disclaimer i wasn't there but i consumed every single recording i could find online)

Firstly, they put them on during the middle of the day, which is already just a piss take-- but like fine, whatever, not the biggest possible issue

But then, the stage they were on was... weirdly big, but not in any way that was useful-- it was really long but really narrow. And I don't know if that's just the usual shape of the stage or if the planners suck at their jobs, because the band was playing in front of this sort of screen and you could see Metallica's set pieces peeking out from behind it-- so I got a sneaking suspicion they divided the stage in half and squeezed Ghost in the front

Also that screen was so tall that their setup looked laughably tiny. Idk

The stage also had this weird semicircle-shaped catwalk in the front? Which was pretty cool the couple times Papa got down there, but it also meant no classic Square Hammer intro-- no lean, no nothing, the guitarists just kinda huddled into a corner near the front.

ALL OF THIS WOULD BE ONE THING. Because hey, it was an arena show, maybe those don't go so in depth with the details

But the audience. The fucking audience... They're the reason I can no longer honestly complain about so few artists coming to this country, because honestly? Can't blame them!

The arena was half empty. It looked like one of those local shows where they put on your cousin's garage band and people only really show up because it's free to enter and the beer's cheap. EVEN THERE, I've seen more enthusiasm from the crowd

I understand most people were there for Metallica, but then why come see Ghost as well, if you're not gonna engage at all? Tobias was up there performing his heart out, talking to the audience, trying to get their attention-- nothing. The most enthusiasm I saw was during Year Zero (which is funny considering the state of this country ifykyk), and the people in the pit were the most responsive, but even then, disappointing

And I know it can't just be the band's fault for not engaging the crowd, because they get a completely different response in other countries, where people follow basic show etiquette and don't act like wet blankets

Seriously, why even pay to see a band you're not interested in. And if they were interested, that's a hell of a way to show it; but knowing the ro scene I'm tempted to believe most of them were just elitist weirdos who hadn't even heard of Ghost and generally have no respect for artists

anyway yeah this is my roman empire and it keeps me up at night

[edengarden]

Hello! I would like to request a regular male bnha matchup if that alright. I'm a 5'3" bisexual female. Golden brown wavy hair till my mid back. Reddish brown eyes. Caramel complexion. Full lips. I also love a little mole on my lower lip on the left side. Lean hourglass. The only sport I do is swimming and I love it. But that's about it. I'm a Pisces and a Slytherin. I'm an introvert so I tend to be a little shy at first and opening up to others takes me a while. But once I actually like a person I would literally kill for them. I also don't trust easily. I have been diagnosed with depression so I don't even trust myself when the going gets rough. Although I have been trying my best to get out of it. I'm also claustrophobic so I tend to avoid crowds and cramped places. People tell me I'm a good listener and that I give good advice. I'm a huge astronomy nerd. Stargazing is the second love of my life. I love reading and listening to music. Music is the first love of my life. I listen to almost every except for heavy metal. Don't really have anything against it just that I ens up with a headache after listening to it. My favourite type would either be alternative or pop, depends on my mood. I'm not into gossiping. More of the deep-conversations-at-3am type of person. Give me dark chocolate and I'll be your loyal servant of the rest of my life (just kidding... mostly) I love learning new things and going to new places. I grew up on the coast so I love nature. That's about it I guess. Thanks!

SKSKSKKSKS HELLO FELLOW SWIMMER!! Did you mean competitive swimming or just,, swimming around bc I understood competitive swimming—

I’m matching you up with Kaminari!

He’s a little ray of sunshine; Kami did all the approaching, the (shitty) flirting... like boy was dropping bombs instead of hints that he was interested in you. He thinks you’re so smart?? And the way you manipulate the conversations with him to go into deeper, more interesting subjects? He can hardly keep up but he tries so hard and he finds it SO fun. He’s a dork.

Kaminari doesn’t exactly,, understand depression that much (I don’t think he does, but maybe he does idk)? But that doesn’t mean he can’t sympathize. I see him as an extremely caring individual. Buddy is willing to get beaten into a pulp by Bakugou if it means it’ll help you. He often just stays his mostly happy-go-lucky self in hopes that his vibes will affect yours, but just like you do for him, he’s more than willing to sit down and listen to you.

Your loyalty to him makes him feel so. Freaking. Special. baby will protect you from EVERYTHING you need protecting from (read: M*neta), but within reasons. He knows you’re an independent person and that you can handle yourself, but he keeps telling you that if you need it, he’s more than willing to help. And when you DO ask for help, oh my god he’s like an excited puppy, he’s so happy to help you?? Like you might have to tell him to calm down bc he won’t get anything done in that state. But it’s all fine because it brings a smile on your face.

Songs!!

- Buttercup, Jack Stauber

- Electric Love, BØRNS (y’all KNOW I had to pull out the “electrifying” songs for bby denki. I also feel like he’d totally do the tiktok trend linked to that song with you)

- Like Real People Do, Hozier

- As The World Falls Down, David Bowie (Denki wants nothing more than just hold you in his arms and sway you to this song?? When you’re happy, when you’re sad, when you’re mad,, Like really?? This song has promises of golden love that Denki adores and he feels that way and so much more for you?? 10/10 I recommend)

[criticalsip]

hi!!! heres my widojest playlist that I listen to every week after watching caleb yearn while i lay in bed and cry about it lmao. enjoy!

listen here 

Track list under the cut! (sorry the format got a little messed up)

Pyro // Kings of Leon

Or it's gone

All the black inside me is slowly seeping from the bone

Everything I cherish is slowly dying 

It's bound to be a sight to see

Little shaking babies and drunkards seem to all agree,

Once the show gets started 

...

Watch her run, can you feel it?

You Spent All Your Love // Mega Mango

I wanna know where you go

When you tell me that you feel alone

I wanna know you,

The way you want me to

Are You With Me // nilu

Are you with me?

Are you drifting through the doubt?

Are you in or are you out?

I Am A Transylvanian // Say Anything

Don't give up, not yet

No matter how hard this gets

We come into the world

Worse for the wear

But the wars of our fathers

Are not ours to bear

Don't give up, no not yet

The path into this heart 

Is littered with corpses

And strewn with body parts

Of those who came before

So just give up

Little Bit // Lykke Li

I think I'm a little bit, little bit

A little bit in love with you

But only if you're a little bit, little bit

Little bit in love with me

Come here, stay with me, stroke me by the hair

Cause I would give anything, anything, to have you as my man

Draw Your Swords // Angus & Julia Stone

See her come down, through the clouds

I feel like a fool

I ain't got nothing left to give

Nothing to lose

Almost (Sweet Music) // Hozier

I've got some color back, she thinks so too

I laugh like me again, she laughs like you

I wouldn't know where to start

Sweet music playing in the dark

Be still my foolish heart, 

Don't ruin this on me

Atlas Hands // Benjamin Francis Leftwich

Money came like rain to your hands while you were waiting

For that cold, long promise to appear

People in the churches started singing above their hands

They say “My god is a good god, and he cares.”

I will remember your face

Cause I am still in love with that place

When the stars are the only thing we share

Will you be there?

We Might Be Dead By Tomorrow // Soko

And I can tell that you didn't have to face

Your mother losing her lover

Without saying goodbye

Without saying goodbye

Cause she didn't have time

I don't want to judge whats in your heart

But if you’re not ready for love,

How can you be ready for life?

 The Beach // The Neighbourhood

I can admit, I am not fireproof

I feel it burning me

I feel it burning you

I hope I don’t murder me

I hope I don’t burden you

If I do, if I do

I Don’t // Koda

I want you so,

I’ve been blind

I don’t want you to fall

Take Me To Church // Hozier

My lover’s got humor

She’s the giggle at a funeral

Knows everybody's disapproval

I should have worshiped her sooner

You Don’t Know How Lucky You Are // Keaton Henson

Do you know who you are?

Do you laugh

Just to think what I lack?

Do you know your lip shakes,

When you're mad? 

Do you notice when you’re sad?

You don’t like to be touched, let alone kissed

Does his love make your head spin?

Dizzy On the Comedown // Turnover

Hold my hand, you can follow my lead

You’re like a ballerina twirling round on her feet

And watching is so fantastic

I want to ask you

Will you come here and spin with me?

I’ve been dying to catch you dizzy

The Wisp Sings // Winter Aid

Let me sleep

I am tired of my grief

I would like you 

To love me, to love me, to love me

Bluebird // Luca Fogale

So maybe you’re a bluebird, darling

Tearing through the darkness of my days 

Home // Daughter

Cause I don’t stand a chance in these four walls

And he don’t recognize me anymore

Burnt out flames should never reunite

But I thought you might,

Take me, take me

Home

Baby Blue // Tigers In The Sky

I hope you’ll find someone

To love you more than I

Boy // Willow

Hey mom? I met a boy, he’s super sad

But I think that I love him, is that bad?

Anxiety attacks when I wake up in the morning

Dude, how come? This is wack,

Is love just torment?

But they say life has a silver lining

And I say I will find it my way

...

Hey god, are you there? I need to talk

Song inspiration: Movement - Hozier

Curled up under the soft blanket with Drake's arm wrapped around her, Kate felt safe, secure and sleepy. Drake couldn't help but notice how Kate leaned more heavily against him, her body melting into his. Giving her a gentle squeeze he presses his lips to the top of her head. She sighs with contentment and wraps her arm across his middle as she closes her eyes.

Lorraine and Carol were settled comfortably on the loveseat nearby, an orange tabby cat curled up in Lorraine's lap. Drake caught her eye from across the room.

“I think it's time for me to take this sleepy Momma to bed before she needs to be carried,” He whispers.

With a nod of her head Lorraine’s expression softens as she replies, “Kate's had a long day, no doubt she needs her rest. Go ahead and take her on to bed, Carol and I can tidy things up here.”

Drake gently smooths the hair back from Kate's forehead, giving her a kiss. She stirs, murmuring sleepily. “hmm?”

As Drake sits up , Kate revives a little more, wiping her eyes and yawning. “Time for bed honey,” he says.

After they get up from the couch, Kate stretches and then turns to smile at her Mom, “Nighty night Mum.”

“Goodnight sweetie, see you in the morning.”

Kate follows Drake out of the room, taking a detour to the bathroom. “You go on up ahead of me, I need to use the bathroom first.”

Drake's brow creases with concern when he notices how pale she looks, “Ok, if you're sure. I'll see you upstairs.”

Kate nods and then closes the bathroom door behind her.

Drake makes his way up the stairs, the wooden treads creak noisily under his bare feet. He breathes a sigh of relief when he reaches the sitting area at the top. Four pairs of yellow eyes turned and glared at him, he had clearly discovered the cats' hiding place. It was obvious that this was a place he didn't belong, making him feel uneasy. As he turns the knob on the bedroom door the cats scatter from their places on the furniture and pad silently down the stairs. Drake breathes another sigh of relief after the cats leave, he missed his corgis, at least they were friendly.

In the bedroom he sits down on the end of the bed and waits for Kate. Looking around he appreciates the craftsmanship in the construction of the log home. He and Kate had joked about him building a log cabin on their property in Valtoria to give him a place to escape the world. The rugged and wild landscape of their home duchy was just the kind of place where he wanted to be, but with winter coming he would have to put his cabin retreat plans on hold for now. Grinning to himself he feels a happy warmth spread through his chest at the thought of adding another room to his cabin plans for their child on the way. Tears spring to his eyes at the realization that he's finally growing a family of his own, and for the first time in a long while he felt like his future was bright.

Kate turns on the tap in the bathroom, splashing cool water on her face. Morning sickness was the wrong name for what she suffered from, because it struck her at any time of day. So much for enjoying her Mom's apple pie. Rubbing her belly she whispers,

“How are you doing down there baby of mine? Mommy loves you plenty, so help me with this would you? If you want to grow big and strong you need to let me keep my food down.”

Using the cup by the sink she rinses out her mouth, swishes some mouthwash from the bottle under the sink and then rinses with water again. That would have to do because she didn't have a toothbrush. With a sigh she brushes her hair back from her face, giving her cheeks a rub in an attempt to bring back the rosy glow of vitality she used to have.

I don't know why they say that pregnant women have a certain glow, cuz I look half dead. The thought of feeling miserable for the next few months while her body morphed into something akin to a giant pear suddenly made her feel like crying. Drake won't want to touch me when I'm as big as a house. Fighting back tears she grabs some tissues out of the box on the counter and blows her nose. Another wave of nausea hits and she groans. Ugh not again.

Still sitting on the end of the bed, Drake catches his reflection in the standing mirror across the room. The baggy clothes really weren't doing him any favors. He felt pride in maintaining his muscular physique, and the oversized shirt made him look small. The boxers however, if he really wanted to, he could fill out the extra space with a little encouragement. But the thought that Jake's junk and ass has rubbed all over the inside of the underwear was a total turn off. Drake was getting anxious for Kate to come to bed so he could finally get these clothes off.

The creaking of the stairs makes Drake's heart skip and he feels all giddy inside. Jumping up from the bed he quickly strips out of his clothes and slips under the blankets. Leaning on his elbow he strategically lowers the bedclothes to expose the perfect amount of his body while keeping the goods hidden.

When he hears the doorknob turn he quickly combs his hair with his fingers. Ok, ready the smoldering expression and..

“Oh hey there beautif-..”

Kate opens up the bedroom door, feeling exhausted from heaving her guts and ready to throw the blankets over her head and sleep forever. When she sees Drake all sexy and waiting for her in bed she feels an overwhelming surge of sadness and starts to cry all over again.

Drake's face falls upon seeing Kate's sagging shoulders, swollen eyes and overall crushed demeanor. How could she go from being ‘ happy wisecracking Kate’ one minute and suddenly become ‘sad sack crying Katie’ the next? Hormones that's how.

Drake's brow knits together with concern and he pats the bed next to him, “Oh Honey, what's wrong? Were you sick again?”

Kate nods, her bottom lip jutting out and quivering as she slumps down onto the bed. Turning away from him, she breathes a shaky sigh as he reaches over to rub her back. “Everything's going to be okay Kate. What are you worried about? You can tell me.”

The soothing motion of his hand calms her down, but she's still hesitant to tell him. “You're going to think it's silly..”

Drake moves over closer, wrapping his arm around and hugging her against him, “I love you no matter what, you know that.”

Kate sighs, trying to put her thoughts together without sounding foolish. “It's just…my body's changing and I’m worried you're not going to want me anymore.”

Drake fights back tears as he presses his face into the back of her neck, his voice is thick as he whispers. “Oh Kate….I could never not want you.”

When he slides his hand under the hem of her shirt she flinches. “It's ok Kate, let me show you how beautiful you are to me.”

“Drake, I..”

Placing his hand gently on her belly he whispers, “Sssh, it's alright, let me show you.”

Throwing back the blankets, Drake gets out of bed and then holds out his hand to her. “Come with me.”

Kate lets him lead her over to the mirror. When he steps in behind her, reaching around to pull up the bottom of her shirt she closes her eyes. “No, don't close your eyes. I want you to see what I see. Now lift up your arms so I can undress you.”

Kate obeys, feeling a warm tingle as his hands brush against her skin. After he tosses the shirt, Drake smooths her hair off to one side and then leans down to kiss her shoulder. “What part of this beauty wouldn't I want to touch?”

Kate watches in the mirror as his fingers slide down her arm and then gasps as his hand reaches over to cup her swollen breast.

“Don't worry I'll be gentle.” He says, his other hand sliding down to the waistband of her pants to cup her baby bump.

“You're so beautiful Kate, how could you think I wouldn't want you?”

Placing her hands over his, she meets his gaze in the mirror. Holding her hands away from herself to simulate how big her belly might get, she puffs out her cheeks in an impression of being fat. “Even when I'm out to here and as big as a house, you'll still think I'm beautiful?”

Wrapping his arms around her tightly his heart aches at her feelings of insecurity. “Of course I will. You're our baby's house. The bigger you get, the more beautiful you become to me.”

Kate sighs, “Drake you know what I mean. Even when I’m miserable and huge and won’t let you touch me. Are you going to be mad?”

Drake gently turns her around, cupping her face in his hands. “Of course not. I love you deep down to my bones Kate, both of you. Now stop worrying.”

Seeing the sincerity in his eyes, and the warm smile on his face, Kate blushes feeling embarrassed. “I'm sorry. I don't know what got into me. How can you be so calm when I can barely keep myself from freaking out all the time?”

Tilting her face up he leans in to kiss her gently on the lips. When he pulls back Kate sucks in a breath, the brief contact leaving her lips tingling. “Because of you Kate, you give me purpose. You give me a reason to smile everyday, and give me a future I never thought I'd have.”

“Oh Drake,” Kate sobs, reaching up to pull him down to kiss her again. Gripping his hair, she doesn't want to let go. Tasting the salt of her tears on his lips, Drake feels a choking sob rise up in his throat, threatening to steal his breath.

Breaking off the kiss, he gasps and buries his face into her neck. Kate wraps her arms around him, holding tight and pressing her cheek against his chest. Both chests heaving, they stand quietly and listen to the other breathe. “I love you Drake,” Kate whispers when she can finally form words again.

Sucking in a deep breath, Drake squeezes her tighter, whispering into her hair. “I love you too.”

Stepping back, Drake kisses her cheeks, wiping away her tears with his thumbs, brushing her hair back from her face.

“From now on, no more sadness. Just happy tears. Ok?” he chokes out, trying to swallow the lump in his throat.

Kate nods, sniffing and smiling. Reaching up to wrap her arms around his neck, she goes up on tiptoes to kiss him again. “I promise.”

Drake leans back, picking her up and spinning her around until she giggles. “Ok! Ok! Put me down.”

With a chuckle he sets her down and slides his hands down her back, tugging playfully on the waistband of her pants. “I think Mommy is still over dressed. Let me help you with that.”

Dropping down to his knees, Drake gazes up at Kate. His hands skim up the back of her thighs and he cups her ass in his hands. Looking down at him, Kate rakes her fingers back through his hair and smiles. As he leans forward to kiss her belly button she giggles at the tickling sensation of his breath on her skin.

Wrapping his arms around her waist he presses his cheek to her belly, Kate giggles at the smirk on his face. “There's nothing to hear yet, what are you doing?”

Looking up at her his smile widens, “I'm giving our baby goodnight hugs. Until I can do it for real, I'm gonna do this every night so I can hug you both at the same time.”

“Oh Drake honey, that's so sweet.”

Kate strokes him gently on the back of the head and neck as he closes his eyes and places soft kisses on her belly. Rocking Kate side to side he whispers to the baby, “Maybe you're too tiny and innocent to understand my precious babe, but your Mommy and Daddy love you so much and can't wait to meet you.”

Kate's feels her heart swell with love at the tenderness and devotion in Drake's words. Fighting back fresh tears she tips her head back, and clears her throat to maintain her composure.

When Drake starts to tug down her pj pants, placing kisses on her tender skin as he exposes it, Kate asks with a grin,

“Whatever happened to that grumpy, brooding, snarky guy I fell in love with all those many months ago? I miss him.”

Drake stops his kisses, nipping at the skin on her outer thigh, cupping her bare ass in his hands. He looks up and gives her a devilish smirk. “What happened is you Kate. You turned him into a complete mushy, sentimental marshmallow. And I'll spend the rest of my life punishing you for it.”

Swaying her hips, causing her pants to pool around her ankles, she giggles as she steps out of them. “Mmm, punish me how?”

Sliding his hands down the back of her thighs, Drake tickles the back of her knees, causing her legs to buckle. Kate gasps and places her hands on his shoulders for stability. “Oh I have my ways.”

Grabbing her ass again, Drake tickles his tongue along her moist slit, tasting her and breathing deeply of her scent. He groans as Kate grabs him by the hair and pulls roughly, tipping his head back to look up at her. Pursing his lips he blows gently on her dampened skin, sending a jolt through Kate's nerve endings that causes her to throb and ache for his touch.

Working his way back up her body, Drake carefully stands and places kisses up over her belly, her ribs, up through the valley of her breasts. Kate cradles his head to her chest, savoring the sensation of his warm lips and breath on her skin. She gasps as his tongue flicks across the swollen bud of one nipple and then the other. Gripping her ass he lifts her up and presses her up against him, letting her feel the hardness of his desire. Kate drops her head back and moans as his lips and teeth blaze a trail up the side of her neck. As his ragged breathing reaches her ear, Kate can feel her toes curl as molten heat pools between her thighs.

“Oh Drake,” she whispers, her eyelids fluttering shut.

Scooping her up into his arms, Drake carries her back to the bed. Kate holds him by the shoulders, wrapping her legs around his waist. She nips playfully at the side of his neck, and he growls as he tries to lay her back on the bed. Kate refuses to let go, bringing her mouth down hard onto his and swallowing his groans of protest.

Bracing his knee on the end of the bed, Drake changes his grip on Kate, sliding his fingers down the crack of her ass to spread her open. Kate moans against his mouth as she feels him rock his hips upward and probe her with the tip of his cock. Giving her a bounce he thrusts up hard, and sheaths himself fully inside. Kate gasps and cries out at the sudden intrusion, raking her nails across his back. “Oh ffuck yesss.”

Easing her down onto the bed, Kate lets go of Drake and scoots backward toward the pillows. Climbing onto the bed, Drake kisses his way up the inside of her leg, sliding his hand up the back of the other.

Kate bites her lip as she watches his advance, aching to have him inside of her again. Parting her with his thumbs he massages and teases her before kneeling between her thighs. Arching her back, Kate moans as he probes her depths again, and then surges forward to stake his claim.

Bracing himself on either side he dips down to capture her lips in a heated and passionate kiss. As he continues to rock his hips and stroke his way into her fully and deeply, Kate whimpers and grips at his hair. Whenever he pulled himself back she was tugging him forward again, wanting more of his mouth.

With a groan from deep in his chest, he reaches up and pulls her fingers from his hair and forces her hands up behind her head. Sitting back on his heels he brings her legs up to brace against his chest and to drape over his shoulders. Hugging her around the thighs he quickens his pace, and Kate grips the pillow behind her head.

As her moans and panting breaths spur him onward toward his release, the wet sound of skin on skin coupled with watching the bouncing of her full breasts, sent a dizzying thrill shooting through his veins. When Kate's moans get louder, and her face grimaces and flushes in the throws of ecstasy, Drake throws his head back and roars out as he spasms and rides out his own orgasm.

With her eyes closed, Kate can feel her heart continuing to hammer against her ribs, taking deep breaths to try to calm herself. She feels light headed and giddy with happiness. Peeking up at Drake, he seems to be in a similar state. His eyes are closed, and he has his lips pressed against her leg. Easing her legs down off of his shoulders, he drops forward and snuggles into her chest, resting his weight back on his heels and elbows.

Stroking his hair, Kate kisses him on the forehead. “Aww, you poor thing are you all played out now?”

“Mmhmm,” he mumbles, enjoying the soothing motion of her fingers on his scalp.

As his breathing becomes more even, and his head lays a little heavier against her chest, Kate realizes he's falling asleep. When she tickles his earlobe he twitches and snorts. Kate gives his shoulder a little shake to encourage him to roll over, and he mumbles his apologies and settles down on his side next to her. Breathing a sigh of relief, Kate climbs under the covers. Leaning over to kiss Drake on the cheek, Kate snuggles in next to him and falls asleep.

56, 41, 10 :-)

10. how would you describe your style?

i already sort of answered this question, but i think the easiest way of putting it is "whatever i damn well please," haha. i tend to dress for comfort rather than style, which means i wear leggings and sweaters and bralettes A LOT.

41. top 10 favorite songs?

THIS IS SO HARD, HOW CAN I LIST JUST TEN???

i love music so much and my taste evolves constantly, so i'm going to just list ten songs that i've been listening to on repeat recently. because a "top ten of all time" sort of list would take me six hours and blood, sweat, and tears to compile!

((ALSO, SPOILER ALERT: I HAVE DEPRESSION AND THESE SONGS ARE ALL GONNA RUTHLESSLY EXPOSE ME FOR THE SAD BITCH I AM.))

- killer + the sound by phoebe bridgers, noah gundersen, and abby gundersen (despite the stripped sound and simple progression, the chords are played on two different pianos simultaneously, giving the song this richness that i'm thoroughly addicted to.)

- a different kind of human by aurora (and, by the way, aurora lowkey invented her own hybrid language for this song/album! strongly reflects the alien, otherworldly tone and i can't get enough of it. listening to it in iceland was a TRIP.)

- they stay down deep by giselle (a recent favorite, but it's been on repeat for a few weeks now! i like songs that sound happy, but have a depth of feeling to them, and this definitely qualifies for me. also, it gives me some STRONG ninerose vibes, which i always need.)

- burn the witch by radiohead (picking just one radiohead song for this list is a total struggle. i'm just a big fan in general, and have been since middle school. but this song is a current bop.)

- take care as performed by keaton henson (though i also LOVE the original beach house version. this song is another favorite for writing, because i just love the vulnerability in keaton henson's voice, played out over such a simple accompaniment. lyrically, it's so simple, but it's also EVERYTHING.)

- car park by fenne lily (a sad banger. highly recommend.)

- violet by marika hackman (once again, picking JUST ONE marika hackman song feels like a crime against music. she's absolutely brilliant, and writes excellent angsty, pining music, specifically for wlw.)

- older chests by damien rice (i have no excuse for listening to so much damien rice. he's one of the best songwriters of the last hundred years and i regularly listen to his entire albums, uninterrupted.)

- night shift by lucy dacus (this song makes me want to personally drive to people's homes and break up with their shitty boyfriends for them. also, i saw her perform this song live and it was so good that i cried.)

- sunlight by hozier (you didn't REALLY think i'd make it through this entire list without at least one hozier song. fun fact: this is canonically what starts playing in the doctor's head when rose tyler walks into the room. i don't make the rules. it's just facts.)

- BONUS: hoppípola by sigur ros because it's like getting seratonin infused directly into your fucking bloodstream. extra points if you listen to it while driving on route one in iceland.

56. would you rather live in rural areas or the suburbs?

neither. both. i don't know, i'm never content anywhere i live. i grew up in the suburbs and now live in a rural (read: farm town) area, and i've never liked either. i like wandering. ideally, i'd like to live in a city with modern amenities and decent water pressure, but be less than an hour away from vibrant, stunning nature. and i'd like to have a rooftop garden. that, or i want to live in a yurt in the mountains and drink glacier water. god, i'm furious to be back in america, can you tell??

thank you for the ask @devldegg and sorry for how WEIRD I GOT WITH IT.

[korekiyo-unfortunately]

I listened to all of these in full and judged them open-mindedly based on lyrics, music, and the way Glitch listens to them.

Dogdog by Abuse-ken

Starting strong with the edgiest thing I have ever listened to. He doesn't even do it justice by singing it emotionally. It sounds boring, even if the lyrics sort of make up for it. I hate the way Miku is tuned here

Wanting to Die in My Teens, Wanting to Kill in My Twenties by Nashimoto

Very catchy. I'm not a fan of Nashimoto's tuning either, but it does have the benefit of being recognizable. Not to my taste, but the most Glitch song that I think will ever exist

Christ by Abuse-ken

I don't hold enough religious trauma to fully appreciate this. The shitty tuning can be ignored purely for the growl effects Miku gets. Definitely Abuse's best song, Ote is cute. Cannot tell you how ballistic Glitch goes about the post-chorus

I Dunno I Dunno by Ghost

He gets gender envy from this? It's kind of catchy in parts I guess. Just kind of. Meh

Distoartion by Abuse-ken

80% of this song is meaningless filler bullshit. It is entirely too long, and lowkey annoying. Even the good parts are Abuse's usual standard of just throwing in the edgiest lyrics he can think of, which are in the same genre every time

Chop Suey by System of a Down

I'm sorry. Mid. The bridge is okay?? I think he's just into it for loud + religious trauma but that does not excuse this

The Mind Elelctric by Miracle Music

This song belongs to Kurogiri and Kurogiri only idc if it gives you gender envy Glitch. That aside, I really like this song, it does some really cool things

Take Me to Church by Hozier

I am the only one listening to this song correctly fuck you you're not even attracted to anyone you bitch come back when you like people the way I like my sister

Spoiler Alert by R.I.P.

R.I.P. my beloved <33 It's definitely got vibes, but I wouldn't listen to it regularly. It just makes me sing the part of the song playing and then feel cut off when it changes

I'll Throw My Emotions Away by R.I.P.

This one's only on here because it's one of Mono's favorites, which is a little sad now that they're mad at each other. But. Very good song, it's very pretty and the lyrics are pretty good, especially considering they're not fluent in Japanese

What Gave It Away by R.I.P.

One of the few R.I.P. songs I'm meh on. Glitch stop trying to be scary it's making you look like a try-hard. Took me a while to like but it has its place ig

Choke by I Don't Know How But They Found Me

Edgy bitch must-have. It is good though. Very fun to sing and also reminds me of our friend so that's a plus (hi Sawyer)

Class of 2013 by Mitski

Of course he prefers this version. I don't hold enough mommy issues to appreciate this one. Kind of annoying as a song, but good for if I wanted to cry about my mom I guess. The original song is kind of mid too

A Pearl by Mitski

Glitch stole another song from my playlist he made his first 🙄🙄🙄 But yea,,, it be like that thank you Mitski. Fits us in different ways. Very pretty to listen to

Jealous by Eyedress

This song sucks ass and I associate it with our worst year of seasonal depression (yet, knock on wood). He doesn't even try to sing. The music is nice I guess, but not good enough to save the song

Bakrom by Hiragi Kirai

Very autistic about our made-up lore for this one. It's so catchy. The visuals are so cool. Vesper gives me such gender envy. The tuning is both good and rexognizable

I Can't Handle Change by Roar

Our mom put this on repeat when we were like 6-10 years old so it literally just gives us flashbacks. This song was playing the first time our sister kissed me so there's that. Why is this here. I guess it'd be alright if not for the sinking dread it puts in my stomach, but not good by any means outside of the opening instrumental

Blackout by Azari

Banger. I like the cutoff at the end even if it upsets me a little. Nothing too exciting, but pretty good

Over My Head by The Fray

Another song our mom looped, I think Glitch just likes marinating in shit. /hj It's alright I guess. Kind of mellodramatic, but it is Glitch's playlist so. Better than the Roar one

Gimme x Gimme by Giga

We stan horny lesbians. Very catchy. If I wasn't horribly sex repulsed I'd probably rate it higher but it's not too bad. Stresses me out because I'm bad at one part of this beatmap on proseka

An Idiot's Drug by Nashimoto

My favorite Nashimoto song. We have never been addicted to drinking, but very kinnable if you apply it to unhealthy coping mechanisms/addictions in general. -Gestures at my blog- he's just like me fr. So catchy

Bother by Stone Sour

Another fucking flashback-inducing song I refuse to listen to this one it's mid anyway

Fruiting Bodies by R.I.P.

Legally obligated to like. Love the mushroom body horror. I didn't think Glitch liked this one

I so desperately want to bully people's music tastes but that would be rude because I am a pretentious hipster bitch
