WASH MY LOVE. [eddie vedder x fem!reader]

mdni. smut kinda fwb, fingering, oral f receiving, unprotected sex, marking, rough-ish sex, slight voyeurism.

words: 2k

the barricade swayingly pressed against your ribcage in waves, each time pushing a huff of breath from your lungs as the crowd swayed and moshed with each song.

the long-haired frontman swinging from the rafters of a club they’d long since outgrown as artists didn’t help the excitement of the youthful mob shoving you forward.

finally, after encore, the lights dimmed and the antsy crowd seemed to slowly disperse. a handful made their way around the side of the stage, flashing their working or backstage passes to the burly cross-armed men guarding the dimly lit entrance. you obliged to the ritual and flashed your own to make your way down the graffitied hallway.

behind you, a voice rang out and you slowly turned on your heels,

“so…” a woman grinned mischievously. her heavily ringed fingers brought a cigarette to her stained lips, remnants of clinique black honey. she blew the thin stream of smoke up towards the ceiling before meeting your gaze again.

“you and vedder, what’s the situation?..”

you grinned and shook your head. news traveled fast in certain social circles. the woman pushed strands of her jet-black pixie cut from her eyes as she searched your face for any further answers.

“we’re just friends… that’s all.”

she hummed in a dissatisfied tone, a slight expression of disbelief flashed across her face, “and you’re a bad liar.” she nudged your shoulder as you walked together down the hallway closer to the room at the end of the hall buzzing with chatter and music.

the room looked like a barber's worst nightmare, nothing but wild long hair and drab flannel as far as the eye could see. your eyes grazed over the group of chattering bandmates, roadmen, friends, and groupies until they landed on the man to the side with his damp shirt thrown over his shoulder. you watched his large hands, one clutching to a dark green beer bottle, as he laughed and retold stories to a group who hung onto every word.

you floated around the room and said your hellos, took tokes that were offered until a familiarly strong hand landed on your shoulder. he teasingly squeezed, pulling your gaze directly to his defined face.

the aura from the man was almost overwhelming. with his pupils blown with adrenaline, you almost didn’t recognize him. you noticed as his surprisingly broad chest quickly rose and fell. you imagined the mound of muscle behind his ribcage quickly thumbing against its strong wall.

in the scene, you’d learned why musicians quickly fell into cycles of drinking and drug abuse, it was nearly impossible for the artists to just go home with a cup of tea and rest on the couch. the epinephrine coursing through them as the aftermath of a packed show was visceral.

eddie leaned to sit his beer down before his hand grasped yours and pulled you through the chattering crowd. he stepped into the hall and closed the door behind the two of you. his grin slowly spread across his face,

“haven’t seen that mug around here in a while,” he leaned closer to press a sloppy kiss against your tense cheek, teasingly rubbing the sweaty dampness from his tanned skin against you. you lightly squealed as you pushed him away playfully.

“well, i don’t like seeing this mug swinging twenty feet above my head,“ you grinned, letting your smooth hand trail down his arm, grasping his and pulling your shirt up,

“see? too wild for me anyway.” the rail of the barricade pushing against your upper rips had already made its mark. light stripes of purple and red marked your skin as you glanced up at his reaction, his skillful fingers brushing over the marks.

“hm, let me see.” eddie crouched lower, placing his hands on each side of your waist as if to examine the marks as you held your shirt up to show the evidence.

“oh, baby, look at you...” he hummed deeply, almost mischievously as he flashed a familiar smirk, his pupils still blown with post-show adrenaline as he glanced upwards to meet your gaze. the man brushed a wild curl behind his ear before pulling your shirt over his head, his breath warm against the skin of your torso.

eddie’s teeth grazed the growing bruise, forcing you to suck sharply through your teeth before his hands slid to your back, teasingly tugging at the hooks of your bra strap, “but too wild for you is a stretch.” he murmured deviously.

“eddie!” you clutched his shoulder tightly, feeling his methodical fingers unclipping the material, “eddie, stop that!” you whisperingly muttered, squeezing his exposed shoulder tighter.

“shh,” he shushed beneath the fabric of your shirt as his hand trailed back to your torso, his fingers feathering over your hardening nipple.

“what if someone sees,” you swallowed down nervously, feeling your knees weaken as his perfectly straight teeth grazed your nipple teasingly,

“nobody’s gonna see,” he muttered deeply, taking his head out of your shirt to stand, keeping his hands beneath the material as he wrapped them around you to tightly press you against his chest, leaning his head to press faint kisses along the side of your neck,

“you haven't missed this?” he muttered, barely more than a raspy whisper, “haven’t missed me?”

your heart fluttered, the answer hidden on your tongue, where it had been hidden for weeks, but you couldn’t muster the words.

you could only think of the first time you’d met the man, the first time you’d seen him on stage. his face flushed a deep red, he could barely look out into the stagnant crowd as he sang; a stark difference to the man in front of you now.

but he wasn’t going to prod more, he wanted to feel your answer. he pulled his lips from your neck and turned to guide you to the corner, hidden behind large stacked cases full of equipment.

“this okay?” his gaze flashed to you as you nodded quickly, his head dipping down as he lifted your shirt once again, his tongue sliding across your hard nipple. his lips trailed down further, and his palms pressured your chest, forcing you to sit on the equipment case with your back against the wall. his palm slid between your legs, parting them with ease before his fingers hooked and ripped the dark pantyhose beneath your short skirt.

“look at this,” his words made the bundle of nerves between your legs ache with impatience. eddie pulled back to gaze up at you from between your legs, his fingertips slid between the wet folds between your legs. your face flushed as he teasingly tsked at the sight of you, short skirt, no underwear, the answer was right in front of him, words weren’t necessary.

his mouth fell agape in mock surprise, his eyes not daring to leave yours as the pad of his thumb rubbed small circles against your clitoris, “what happened, forget them at home, baby?” he grinned, a deep crimson crept across your high cheekbones.

“i... i just..thought we —” you whined sweetly, your hand instinctively going down to entangle your fingers with his brown curls,

“mm..” he hummed knowingly, interrupting your useless whispered explanation. his hands roughly grasped each thigh to part them as he lapped an agonizingly slow stripe against your soaking womanhood, his eyes focused on the sight of your flushed cheeks and lidded expression.

your breath hitched in anticipation as he dropped his head, allowing his tongue to slowly circle your sensitive clit, his tongue dipping down to lap up the drips of wetness sliding down your slit.

“right.. there, please...” you whined sweetly, rolling your head back in an attempt to string any conscious thought together as he slipped two fingers inside and out slowly.

your legs attempted to press together, but eddie’s strong fingers dug into the soft skin of your inner thigh as he forced them open, his tongue working against your clit busily, entirely enveloped by you. your scent. your skin. warmth against his mouth and around his fingers. exactly where we wanted to be.

“eddie,” you moaned, rolling your hips against his busy tongue. each movement from him was mindless and uncalculated, allowing his instinct to guide each action. he wanted to force you to show him just how much you’d missed him and you were doing that.. beyond expectation as your movements became tense and your orgasm approached swiftly. you held his tongue in place and rocked your hips against him as his fingers and mouth coaxed you further, his fingers still working you over.

your legs shakily closed as eddie stood and wrapped his hands around each hip to guide you and help your weakened legs stand. he turned you, allowing your hands to rest on the equipment case for grounding as his two middle fingers parted your swollen lips from behind. he forced your mouth open, letting the slickness of your tongue guide his fingers back into your mouth. your taste flooded your tastebuds as you wrapped your lips around him and sucked his slick fingers clean, “mm, just like that.” his words were course and deep, an extra layer of baritone to his already strong voice.

you heard the undoing of his belt buckle and felt his thickness pressed against you from behind, heavy and hot against your skin. his tip leaked with pre-cum and he reached down to align himself with your sensitive entrance. he slipped inside slowly, an almost unintelligible moan escaped from his parted lips as your tightness wrapped around his thick cock. his fingers fell from your lips and his hands roughly grasped each hip to slowly guide you back further onto his cock.

he let you adjust to his size as he filled you from behind.

you weakly turned your head to the side as he leaned his chest completely against your back and joined your lips. his tongue sloppily slipped into your mouth as the slow rhythmic movement of his hips quickened, one free hand trailing up to run his fingers through your hair before grasping a handful at the root. he forced your head back further with a tug as both his cock and tongue deepened inside.

he parted the kiss, allowing breathy moans to fall from your flushed swollen lips, “feels so good,” your eyes rolled back as his lidded and darkened gaze observed each movement from you almost primitively.

“listen to you… everyone’s gonna know how much of a slut you are, getting fucked out here in the open, is that what you want?” he muttered against your ear as he increased the pace, the harshness of his pounding and grasp on your hair becoming relentless. his wide palm fell against your asscheek, his fingers gripping you tightly as a sharp burning sensation filled the spot of his hand. and another swift spank followed behind.

you whined inaudibly and sunk your teeth into your bottom lip in a failed attempt to stifle your needy whines and groans. you tip-toed to push your ass against his tense naval as you gave him the perfect angle to slide deeper with his cock. the man hummed in approval as his lips dipped down to press warm kisses against the side of your neck once more, sucking the thin skin and sinking his teeth to leave small marks in place of his lips; a keepsake, your souvenir. he knew you weren’t one for overpriced band shirts anyway.

you arched your back as another wave of ecstasy hit you like a brick wall without warning. your name fell from his lips like a hopeless prayer as he followed suit seconds later. eddie’s strong grasp released you as his forehead fell against your shoulder in his orgasm, his thrusts slowed lazily and his moans deepened and went hoarse against your skin. you both panted weakly, your body weakened and limped beneath his weight.

“i really did miss you.” your words were almost incoherent as you turned to face limply towards the man adjusting his belt and and quietly tucking an unruly curl behind his ear before nodding in knowing.

with a satisfied smirk, he leaned down to press a soft kiss against your lips, snaking his arm around the small of your waist to pull you closer to his chest.

“i know,” he mumbled into your hair as the burning question on his tongue was answered now, and not only physically.

it’s hilarious how much of my playlist for Dirtbags is pulled from a different playlist i have called “Eddie Vedder and Guys That Sound Like Eddie Vedder”

[avastrasposts]

🎶✨when u get this, list 5 songs u like to listen to, publish. then, send this ask to 10 of your favorite followers (positivity is cool)🎶✨

Or…..

What songs are you going to play for Pero when you bathe him? 🧼🛁🫧 To set the mood or maybe fall asleep to? Or just for funsies.

Morning Nerdie!

So obviously, the second half of this question sparked many thoughts! Provided Pero exists in a modern AU, what music would he even like? I'm thinking rock, obviously. He seems like the kind of guy who would go to a rock concert, stand at the back with a beer and nod along. He'll join you in the mosh pit and make sure no one jumps anywhere near you by standing behind you and scowling at anyone who gets too close. If you get him drunk enough he'll start swaying worryingly from side to side, he might even raise a fist. If he puts both fists in the air it's time to take him home, he's about to pass out.

I'm think he was heavily into Soda Stereo, Nirvana, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains etc in the 90's and kinda stuck in the alternative rock, grunge field, sprinkled with some singer/songwriter stuff. So based on that, this is the mellow, soak in the tub, getting a nice massage, maybe drinking a whiskey play list for Pero:

Dead in the Water - Noel Gallagher

Everlong (acoustic version) Foo Fighters

The Funeral - Band of Horses

Nutshell - Alice in Chains

Lithium - Nirvana

Future Days - Eddie Vedder

My Wrecking Ball - Ryan Adams

River Cross - Pearl Jam

Cover me up - Jason Isbell

If we were vampires - Jason Isbell and the 400 Units

Tagging @din-cognito for the Pero related content!

Und hier die aus dem august��ich glaub ich hab mich in eddie vedder verliebt 😍

[musikblog]

https://www.musikblog.de/2024/07/crack-cloud-red-mile/ Was haben Herbert Grönemeyer, Eddie Vedder von Pearl Jam und Zach Choy, Frontsänger von Crack Cloud, gemeinsam? Genau wie Grönemeyer und Vedder nuschelt Choy, was das Zeug hält, lauscht man dessen Gesang auf “Red Mile”, dem neuen Album des Musik-Kollektivs aus Kanada. Das tut dem Hörgenuss aber keinen Abbruch.

WES FINALLY GETS HIS SHOT AT THE FAMILY BUSINESS //

LIFE IN PINK AU YOU SAY??? I've got you. Wes wanted to be with you so bad.. he just didn't know what to do.. so he planned an elaborate scheme, dress up like the one and only EDDIE VEDDER, to get your attention.

he chuckles, a wicked smile on his lips

"Awwhhh, dollface. That wink of yours is dangerous. One look from you, and I'm powerless to resist your charm. You know how to make a bad boy like me weak in the knees, baby."

he laughs, shaking his head in amusement

"Awwhhh, dollface. You've got me wrapped around your finger, don't you? Fine, I'll be your Dungeon Master Daddy Gunner for this campaign. Let's do this, baby."

Can we please appreciate how amazing was Colson in Roadies? I loved Wes! (if you couldn’t tell yet).

Also, I wish he would stop bleaching his hair and let it natural, like in that picture. Dirty Blonde Don for the win.

Jimi Tenor und Glen Hansard zu Gast bei der KulturArena Jena 2023

Die 31. KulturArena vom 13. Juli bis 20.08.2023 auf dem Jenaer Theatervorplatz

Folgende Künstler und Künstlerinnen sind im Sommer in Jena zu Gast Jimi Tenor | 21.07.2023 Jimi Tenor war schon immer so etwas wie ein Renaissance man. Bereits als er seine Heimat Finnland zu Beginn der 1990er Jahre verließ, um zunächst nach New York zu gehen und später quer durch Europa zu ziehen, entdeckte er schnell das, was er als sein „Ikigai“ bezeichnet, seine große Freude im Leben: Musik in DIY-Manier aufzunehmen und zu Hause mit einfachen Mitteln zu produzieren - spontan und intuitiv. Daran hat Tenor über die inzwischen mehr als 30 Jahre seiner musikalischen Karriere hinweg stets festgehalten, ganz egal ob auf Solopfaden seiner frühen elektronischen Alben in den 90er Jahren oder später in den unterschiedlichsten Besetzungen und Kollaborationen (u.a. Tony Allen, Kabu Kabu oder Abdissa Assefa). Als Multiversum kommt nun sein drittes Album daher und unterstreicht die Vielseitigkeit des finnischen Multiintrumentalisten einmal mehr. Wir freuen uns auf einen ausgelassenen und groovigen Kulturarena Klubabend mit Drum-Machine-Beats und Synthesizer-Loops im Kassablanca. Fatoumata Diawara & Band | 26.07.2023 Wenn sich Stimmwunder und Energiebündel in einer Person vereinen, ist Widerstand einfach zwecklos! Eine der bemerkenswertesten Vertreterinnen populärer Weltmusik kommt mit ihrer Band auf die Bühne des Theaterhauses in Jena. Die Grammy-nominierte Sängerin, Songwriterin und Schauspielerin Fatoumata Diawara ist eine der bedeutendsten Stimmen einer neuen Generation afrikanischer Künstlerinnen. Ihre Musik deckt ein breites Spektrum an Stilen ab: eine Mischung aus traditionellen und modernen Klängen der Sahara und Westafrikas, Afropop und Desert Blues. ➤ Veranstaltungen in Jena In ihren Songs packt sie die unbequemen Themen der Region an, wie die Zwangsheirat, Bildungsdefizite, Kriege und Vertreibung. Fatoumata Diawara hat mit einigen der größten Namen der zeitgenössischen Musik zusammengearbeitet und davon sind auch den regelmäßigen Kulturarengästen einige nicht unbekannt: Sie kollaborierte unter anderem mit Roberto Fonseca, Disclosure und Herbie Hancock, stellte eine westafrikanische Supergroup mit Amadou und Mariam, Oumou Sangaré und Toumani Diabaté zusammen und arbeitet darüber hinaus regelmäßig mit Damon Albarn von Blur zusammen – ob im starbesetzten Africa Express, der spekakulären Opernproduktion Le Vol du Boli am Théâtre du Chatelet in Paris oder als Sängerin auf dem letzten Album der Gorillaz. Eine echte Powerfrau, die ihre Wurzeln, Lebenswelt und gesellschaftskritische Diskurse in ihre Musik fließen lässt und uns im ausklingenden Juli an dieser künstlerischen Auseinandersetzung teilhaben lässt. Glen Hansard | 02.08.2023 Nach zehn Jahren, also einer gefühlten Ewigkeit, wird es endlich ein wunderbares Wiedersehen mit dem irischen Singer-Songwriter Glen Hansard im Arenarund geben. Nachdem seine Karriere vor mehr als dreißig Jahren als Straßenmusiker in Dublin begann, er mit seinen Bands unzählige Alben rausbrachte und schließlich mit Markéta Irglová einen Oscar für die beste Filmmusik im romantischen Drama Once gewann, hätte er es eigentlich auch ruhiger angehen lassen können. Doch dieser Künstler und seine ungebrochene Leidenschaft sollen noch zahlreiche weitere Momente intimster Begegnungen mit Musik für uns bereithalten: Sein erstes Soloalbum, Rhythm and Repose, schlug ein weiteres, neues Kapitel auf. Seitdem hat er vier Alben in voller Länge veröffentlicht, darunter das populäre für einen Grammy nominierte Didn't He Ramble. Hansard hat sich zu einem unverzichtbaren Live-Performer in der Musikwelt entwickelt, der seine Show zu einem intensiven Musikerlebnis der Offenheit, Emotionen und des Experimentierens macht.

KulturArena 11.08.22 Meute Foto: Christoph Worsch // JenaKultur Nach einem 2020 rausgebrachten Live-Album und Kollaborationen mit Eddie Vedder und Cat Power für Film-Soundtrack von Flag Day veröffentlichte Hansard im vergangenen Herbst die Single Take Heart, die sich mit dem Krieg in der Ukraine befasst. Die Einnahmen an der Single gehen komplett an die Organisation Ukrainian Action. „Dieser Song ist eine einzelne Blume, die am Fuße all dieser Verwüstungen platziert wird, eine Kerze, die unter den Millionen angezündet wird, die hilflos vor den Türen von Botschaften stehen oder in Fenstern brennen; es ist ein Gebet, das in die große Wolke des guten Willens hinaufgeschickt wird, die den Globus umkreist“, sagt Glen Hansard über sein Stück. Derzeit arbeitet er an einem neuen Soloalbum, dessen Veröffentlichung für 2023 geplant ist. ➤ Weitere Nachrichten aus Jena >> Kultur >> KulturArena Nach dieser Fülle an musikalischer Schaffenskraft gibt es also ausreichend Gründe für ein ausgiebiges und herzliches Wiedersehen auf dem Jenaer Theatervorplatz. Kaffkiez & special guest: Paula Carolina | 05.08.2023 Ein Indiemärchen aus dem S��den Deutschlands: Die ersten zwei Jahre nach Gründung der Band 2020 hätten für die fünf Jungs nicht intensiver sein können. Innerhalb kurzer Zeit erstürmen sie sich mir ihrer unpolierten, ehrlichen und energiegeladenen Musik Plätze in großen Radiosendern und Playlisten. Wie rasant sie eingeschlagen sind, zeigen die vergangenen 2 Jahre ganz deutlich: Mehr als 6 Millionen Plays auf Spotify und eine unglaublich schnell ausverkaufte Tour 2022 machen klar: Diese Musiker aus dem Kaff wissen genau wie es geht und sie fangen gerade erst damit an! KulturArena Jena 2021, Foto: Frank Liebold, JenaFotografx.de Die eingeschweißte Fanbase der Rosenheimer hat sich natürlich genau so schnell zusammengefunden. Wer Kaffkiez bereits live erleben konnte weiß, was zu erwarten ist: treibende Rhythmen, verschwitzt tanzende Mengen voll ungebändigter Energie und eine Band, deren Freude an Live-Musik so unmittelbar zu spüren ist, dass man sich nichts mehr wünscht, als bei den Auftritten der Band dabei gewesen zu sein. Mit im Gepäck haben die Jungs einen „special guest“: Paula Carolina - ehrlich, kritisch, provokativ. Sie stellt Tag für Tag die Welt auf den Kopf. Mit Leichtigkeit singt sie über Ernsthaftigkeit aus dem Leben in einer modernen, aber nicht perfekten Welt. Ihre Musik wirkt frech und tanzbar und passt ganz ausgezeichnet ins Arenarund. Wallis Bird & Spark | 10.08.2023 Frauen der Musikgeschichte feat. Deutsch-Irische Freundschaft: Wallis Bird und Spark interpretieren herausragende Komponistinnen verschiedener Epochen und Genres. Die Kollaboration zwischen der irischen Künstlerin und der deutschen Avantgarde-Band malt eindrucksvolle Portraits an Hand einer Vielzahl an Sparten: Von Klassik und Avantgarde über Jazz, Indie Rock und Art Pop bis hin zu Weltmusik und Singer-Songwriter – unbeschreiblich- weibliche Klänge aus rund tausend Jahren Musikgeschichte finden die ihnen gebührende Einordnung und Repräsentation in einer aufregenden Reise quer durch die Musik-Zeitalter. Die renommierte irische Singer-Songwriterin Wallis Bird und Spark, die klassische Band und eine der führenden Formationen der jungen kreativen Klassikszene in Deutschland, bündeln ihre Kräfte für ein genreübergreifendes Konzerterlebnis, das ein ganzes Jahrtausend weiblicher Klangkunst umfasst. Die insgesamt sechs Musikerinnen und Musiker bieten einen 360-Grad-Blick auf das reiche und farbenfrohe Universum, das von visionären Frauen vom Mittelalter bis heute geschaffen wurde. Frauen werden in all ihrer Komplexität gefeiert – als Mütter, Musen, Liebende, Schwestern, Träumerinnen, Sirenen, Kämpferinnen und als Stimmen des Herzens und des Geistes. In ihren aufregenden Neuinterpretationen bieten Bird, die mehrere Meteor Music Awards und den prestigeträchtigen deutschen Musikautorenpreis ihr Eigen nennt, und ECHO Klassik-Preisträger Spark herrlich verspielte und fantasievolle Venusvisionen – dargeboten mit großer Hingabe und viel Leidenschaft. Das klingt nach Kreativität, Herz und Vielfalt und so gut, dass wir uns diese Kollaboration keinesfalls entgehen lassen können. Web Web x Max Herre | 16.08.2023 Eingefleischte Arenafans wissen das natürlich: Max Herre war nicht nur einmal unser musikalischer Gast und die Abende mit ihm entpuppten sich stets als Highlight und besondere Erinnerung. Trotzdem oder gerade deshalb ist es besonders aufregend, ihn dieses Jahr auch in anderer Formation und mit riesiger Verstärkung empfangen zu dürfen!

KulturArena Jena, Foto: Frank Liebold, JenaFotografx.de (Archiv) Der italienisch-deutsche Jazz-Pianist Roberto Di Gioia, vor allem bekannt als Mastermind hinter Web Web, gilt als Freund außergewöhnlicher Kollaborationen: Ob mit Joy Denalane auf ihrem Album „Let Yourself Be Loved“ oder Till Brönner – stets gelingt es Roberto Di Gioia, der Musik mit großartigen Ideen seinen eindrucksvollen Stempel aufzudrücken, ohne sich zu sehr in den Vordergrund zu spielen. Der seit über 25 Jahren erfolgreiche (HipHop-) Musiker und Produzent Max Herre (u.a. Freundeskreis) zählt sich ebenfalls zu dieser Riege, doch war das den beiden Künstlern längst nicht genug. Und so ist mit Web Max ein großartiges spirituelles Jazzwerk entstanden, welches beide Künstlerwelten miteinander vereint. Max Herre brilliert als Komponist, Musiker und Produzent eines Albums, das mal schwebend, mal gefühlvoll, aber immer intensiv daherkommt und eine wunderbare Hommage an den Jazz der frühen 70er Jahre darstellt. Roberto Di Gioia und Max Herre haben sich für Web Max eine prominent besetzte Band aus gleichgesinnten Musikern zusammengestellt, deren Zusammenspiel weit über die sprichwörtliche Summe der einzelnen Teile hinausgeht: Die explosiven Jazz Grooves von Schlagzeuger Peter Gall legen gemeinsam mit den rollenden Kontrabasslinien von Bassist und Co-Songwriter Christian von Kaphengst ein swingendes Fundament, das durch das songdienliche Spiel von Saxophonist und Flötist Tony Lakatos kongenial ergänzt wird. 2ersitz & Il Civetto | 20.08.2023 2ersitz selbst nennen es Neo-Hippie-Pop. Die Ehrlichkeit, mit der die sechs Freunde aus Leipzig auf die Bühne gehen, ist in der deutschen Poplandschaft zur Seltenheit geworden. Auf ihrem Debüt Album „Seifenblase“ behandeln 2ersitz das Leben ihrer in einer sozio-kulturellen Blase heranwachsenden Generation. Solidarität, politisches Bewusstsein und Aktivismus stehen im Konflikt mit dem kapitalisiertem Wohlstand und gelebten Privilegien. Große Worte für ein Debütalbum, die bei uns in noch größere Neugier auf den musikalischen Abend auf dem Jenaer Theatervorplatz gipfeln!

Blick auf die KulturArena Jena, (Fotografik, JenaFotografx.de) Die Berliner Band il Civetto hat sich im Geiste des Pop neu erfunden – und Fusion-Pop gleich dazu: Ihre universelle Mischung bricht mit westlichen Kulturklischees. Das erste, was auffällt: Alle neuen Songs sind auf Deutsch getextet. Eine Entscheidung, die dem stilistischen Multikulturalismus der Gruppe jedoch nur scheinbar entgegensteht. Mindestens so wichtig wie ihre musikalische Offenheit und Vielseitigkeit ist es il Civetto nämlich, verstanden zu werden. In den Interviews zu „Facing the Wall“ (2019) war den Musikern aufgefallen, dass sie ihre Texte immer wieder ausgiebig erklären mussten – und wer will schon Pop-Texte erklären? Wir wollen sie erleben – bei uns in Jena! Read the full article

- once upon a december ii ( 𝐄.𝐕. )

ADD YOURSELF TO MY TAGLIST!

anastasia!au. 1900s!au. after [y/n]’s narrow escape from the alexander palace, she lost most, if not all, memory of her childhood, only remembering the tiny details that would help her later on in life. this is the second part of a duology.

THIS FIC CONTAINS a generalized russian accent; this story is both of my own creation and inspirations (listed below); mentions of death.

A/N - layout by @adoresobs​!  the description of the dress i’m going for the coronation clothing and crown is empress sissi. the wedding dress is also by her. i understand that she’s from the 1800s, but i just love her style. i also took the wedding traditions from an article, so if you are from russia and know about the traditions and see anything wrong, please just contact me and i’ll fix it! also, this may suck, idk.

INSPIRATIONS -  @zodiyack​ ‘s princess. anastasia (1997).

looking at herself in the mirror, [y/n] eyed the large sapphire necklace sitting on the supple skin of her chest, the heavy weight of her long hair evenly distributed around her head. the corset was tighter than usual, but she had grown used to it from the long training hours she was forced to endure. the blue eyes of the man she had seen again haunted her day, feeling them watch her when she stood in the same room with him, her heart beating wildly as she tried to shake off the feeling of hopelessness. she wanted to talk to him again, wanted to see what he was like after years of not being with him, wanted to have him hold her as he whispered that everything was alright, wanted his smell linger on her clothes. 

she didn’t notice the tear in her eye until it hit her cheek, her hand reaching up to immediately dab it away, not wanting to destroy the makeup on the handmaids took her time on, taking a deep breath in order to calm her heartbeat. she stood up, ready for her wedding.

eddie remembered when he asked her about the traditions of a russian wedding, wondering if they were the same as american counterparts, but quickly realizing that russian weddings tend to be grand and exciting.

“our marriage would only be legal if we register it at the zapis aktov grazhdanskogo sostoyaniya,” [y/n] had told him one night. “usually people do it before the ceremony so they have more time for the fun things. and at the ceremony, crowns will be placed on our heads. the crown is usually placed in by the priest, and is usually held in place by family or friends while we stand on top of a rose colored cloth. then games are played. It’s all very fun and can actually last a couple of days.”

the first day of the wedding was the actual ceremony.

eyeing the man at the end of the aisle, the now tsarevna [y/n] tomanov held her uncle’s hand, a smile broadening acros her lips. eddie seemed a little nervous, not liking the idea of being in front of such a large crowd, but knew he had to begin getting used to it as the impending knowledge of him being tsar of russia loomed over him like a dark cloud. he was a simple american man stuck in an expansive country as the love he held for their tsarevna kept him there. she had given him a manor home in both england and the united states, an escape from royal life so that he may go and clear his head. 

but not only was there those manors; they had the livadia palace in the crimea, which [y/n] and her family had spent their summers in, the winter palace that was their main residence, and many other palaces that had been the homes to her ancestors. the doors open, revealing the tsarevna in her beautiful white gown, dark green trim showing all of the layers of the skirt, the neckline, the hem of the sleeves, and the sash loosely wrapped around her right shoulder, the rest landing softly on the skirt of her dress. soft floral patterns lined around the green trim, complementing her features perfectly. eddie gasped as he watched his bride come closer, a large smile spreading across her lips as she stared at him as if he were the only thing in the world, the only rope that tied her to this place. 

the traditional vows were said, crowns were placed on their heads (which eddie found out they were tsar nicholas ii’s and tsarevna alexandra’s imperial jewels) and the ornamental glasses were smashed (another thing that was counted to be luck for a long-lasting marriage), and the two spouses followed the priest around the lectern (thrice) as they held each other’s hands tightly. 

the second day of the wedding consisted of a roadtrip.

they visited many important landmarks, such as visting the peter vassilevsky island to touch the 4000-year-old egyptian statues and stone griffons, or to the new hermitage portico and rub the toes of the marble atlanti statues, all for good luck on their marriage. “you know i love you, right?” eddie whispered into [y/n]’s hair, carresing her bare shoulder as they cuddled in the master bedroom of the imperial train, her warm skin pressed up against his. 

snow drifted slowly to the ground, covering the grass in a cold, white blanket, reminding you of the lullaby your grandmother used to sing to you when you were much younger. “i know,” she pressed a light kiss to his lips, her thumb brushing against his cheekbone, forehead pressing against his. this was something you longed for all your years spent in that orphanage. 

someone to love, hold, cherish. 

“and a song, someone sings once upon a december,” eddie’s resonant voice sang from the comfort of olivia’s room, brushing away the small tendrils of hair that stuck to the side of her face. “someone holds me safe and warm,” you continued, putting your chin on eddie’s shoulder. so many years had passed since the two of you were married, and many began speculating if either of you were infertile, most of which directed at you, all because you were a female. but luckily, olivia came along one hot june morning, screaming as you cried from your spot in the bed. it had been such an intensive labor and now she was here. “horses prance through a silver storm,” eddie’s voice joined yours, his hand holding your cheek softly. “figures dancing gracefully across my memory.”

“someone holds me safe and warm,” you wrap your arms around eddie, holding him tight against your body, eddie moving his hand to take yours in his, his free hand grabbing onto olivia’s. “horses prance through a silver storm,” the days of you and your family going on horseback rides during the heavy snowfalls flashed through your mind; it was one of the best feelings you ever experienced in your early life. the cold wind biting at your cheeks, the laughter and smiles passed around warmed your insides. “figures dancing gracefully across my memory,” the balls your father threw, the many people wearing heavy gowns and sparkling jewelry dancing around the floor, skirts skimming the floor and coattails flying up. 

“far away, long ago, glowing dim as an ember,” you were reminded of your time in the american orphanage, the troublesome nights of the small flashes of memory, the longing for a life you couldn’t remember. “things my heart used to know, things it yearns to remember.”

“and a song someone sings,” you looked out the window, placing a hand on your growing belly. “once upon a december.”

OF THE GIRL / EDDIE VEDDER

he chose a path, heavy the fall, quarter to four.

fills his mind with the thought of a girl.

[insomniamamma]

thanks for tagging me @oonajaeadira​ ❤️

Tag some mutuals you want to get to know better! Copy and paste into a new post--don't reblog please!

Favourite time of the year: Fall. My optimal ambient temperature is about 65 degrees. I love when it cools off enough that I am not a constant ball of sweat. I love when it's cool enough for hoodies and maybe needing an extra blanket at night. I also love the way the air smells when the leaves start to turn. Halloween! Crunchy leaves! My husband and I both have fall birthdays, so that's also nice.

Comfort food: Spaghetti and meatballs. Spaghetti sauce with meatballs is one of my favorite things to cook. I also put some Italian sausage in there.To do it right, you've got to cook it low and slow for hours. It makes the house smell sooooo good. The hubby and son are perfectly content with leftovers so I usually make a pretty big batch. And really, is there anything in life better than a nice pile of pasta drowning in sauce?

Favourite dessert: Pie. Pretty much any kind of pie. I learned how to make pies around the time I quit smoking. This was almost 20 years ago, but I remember everything just tasting amazing. It was a delicious mistake. I was the one who quit smoking but me and the hubby both gained weight. I mostly save them for the holidays now. I love a slice of warm from the oven apple pie with a scoop of good quality vanilla ice cream and maybe a bit of sharp cheddar cheese.

Things you collect: Rocks, fossils, bones, feathers and shells. I can't go anywhere in nature without coming home with a pocket full of rocks.

Favourite drink: Diet Dr. Pepper

Favourite musical artist: This is so hard. Right now I am going to call it a tie between Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds and David Bowie.

Last song you listened to: Golden State-- Eddie Vedder & Natalie Maines

Last movie you watched: I haven't sat down and watched a movie in a while. Might have been a Prospect re-watch.

Last series you watched: The Sandman.

Series you’re currently watching: Crash Course Geography. It's a show on youtube. The episodes are only about 15 minutes a pop but I feel like I've learned more about geography from this show than I ever did in high school.

Current obsession: Pedro Pascal (obviously), The Sandman, especially The Corinthian. WTF. I did not need another hot villain in my life. Dominion, the card game. We've been teaching my son how to play. We've only got the first edition base game, but that has plenty of repeat play-ability on its own. My son is 8 and he regularly kicks the shit out of us at Dominion. He got the basic mechanics after like two hands and now he routinely clobbers us. It's interesting because he will do things that look like they should absolutely not work and then when it's time to count up the victory points he's absolutely  kicked our asses. It makes me feel like I'm raising him right, or at least, that he is succeeding despite me.

Dream place to visit: Ireland, Scotland, Germany. These are places where my family has roots and I would like to see them first hand.

A place you’ve been that you want to go back to: Tokyo. Kenai, Alaska. Joshua Tree. Maui.

Something you want: For it to get cold enough to kill the mosquitos. I can't even hang out with my outside cat without turning into chuck steak. Also about 8 more hours in each day.

Currently working on: Halloween costume research. My son wants to be The Mandalorian (YAY!) He wanted to be Luke Skywalker and then he saw a pre-made Mandalorian costume at Sam's Club and he was like "If you don't think you can make one more realistic we can always buy this one." *cracks knuckles* are you challenging me little boy? He wants to be Mando, he's cast my husband as Cobb Vanth (hubs would make a fantastic Cobb Vanth) and he wants me to be Cara Dune. So I've got some work to do lol. Also I've been working on a Liminal AU fic and a Din Djarin x insecure!reader fic.

"It's you, it couldn't be awful"

A Playlist For Dair Appreciation Week, Day 7 - Fave Quotes & Lyrics

I haven’t the faintest idea how to make gifs (seriously I think all of you are witches) so I made this playlist, because there is nothing I love more than scrolling through my spotify library and just projecting all over it.

Track listings and links with opinions & lyrics under the cut, because this thing is long, because I have no restraint.

(Note: I intentionally left off all tswift bc if I didn’t, we’d be here all day)

Section 1: The Bops

Little of Your Love - HAIM

A bop that embodies the energy of the 4b arc, and an energy of “Oh for crying out loud, Humphrey”

You’re just another recovering heart / I wasn’t even gonna try / you wouldn’t even give the time

Stop runnin’ your mouth like that / ‘cause you know I’m gonna give it right back

Hate That You Know Me - Bleachers

It’s “You owe me ten / You owe me twenty!” & “I was hoping it would go away / I was humiliated” & basically all of While You Weren’t Sleeping, tbh

Some days I, I wish that I wasn't myself / No luck! / And I hate that you know me so well

I Like Me Better - Lauv

Heavily featured in all y’all’s gifsets—and rightfully so!!! It’s also like the perfect counter to the previous song.

To not know who I am but still know that I'm good long as you're here with me

Sweet Talk - Saint Motel

It’s about Blair roasting Dan for filth and him being completely charmed by it.

when you laugh / I forget that it's about me / But it's alright / Yeah, cause being your punchline / Still is something

No Reason to Run - Cold War Kids

In the perfect version of the show that lives in my head, this is the end credits song that plays as the two of them frolic in Rome.

I have evolved like a fish growing legs / Woke like a lightbulb clicked in my brain

You Make Lovin' Fun - Fleetwood Mac

The song for the couple that fucked in an elevator. Bless the work.

Sweet wonderful you / You make me happy with the things you do

No Matter What You Do - covered by Jakob Dylan and Regina Spektor

The energy is “I have a lot of affection for you but you are so annoying.” And this is the obligatory post-breakup s6 song.

No matter what in the world you do / Hey, I'll always be in love with you

Don't Take the Money - Bleachers

I see so much love for tswift on this website (valid) but I feel like the world as a whole sleeps on her collaborator Jack Antonoff bc he is brilliant and his act Bleachers has some of my favorite songs ever. Like this one. Antonoff has said before that the title phrase is more metaphorical than literal, like an idiom that means don’t take the easy way and give this up, because it’s genuine. Real “I want to have a sleepover with you” vibes.

Somebody broke me once / Love was a currency / A shimmering balance act / I think that I laughed at that

In the Morning - Nina Simone

It’s about the domesticity! And the “Our relationship is our world”! And the “we’re young and still have so much life to live so everything’s gonna be okay.” did i title a smut fic with lyrics from this song maybeso.gif

Please be patient with your life / It's only morning and you're still to live your day

This Must Be the Place - Talking Heads

This is a canon dair song bc @mysteriesofloves titled a fic after this song, them’s the rules. But for real, this is such a good one. The lyrics are intentionally scattered, a little bewildered, like “how did we get here? how did this happen? who found whom?” and finally “who cares? we found a home in each other.”

The less we say about it, the better / We'll make it up as we go along

Cleopatra in Brooklyn - Frank Turner

Chosen for the title obviously, but the lyrics capture the royal/5b arc pretty well, I think. The narrator carries this tongue-and-cheek comparison of the woman he’s singing to to Cleopatra through the whole song, comparing himself to Marc Antony, and ending with this really earnest kind of declaration. I’m obsessed with this songwriter he’s a genius please give him a listen.

These people are adjectives to your proper noun

I'll come find you when your fortunes fail you / I'll die with you when the gods desert you

Morphing into Section 2: Pure Vibes

Walking on a Dream - covered by Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness

The original is by Empire of the Sun (and omigod I just realized the coincidence), but I first heard it covered by McMahon, and he’s one of my favorite musicians of ever so I just love his rendition. And this song is sort of like...about finally deciding that the reality of love with someone is so much better than the idea of it.

Thought I’d never see / The love you found in me / Now it’s changing all the time

Wake Me - Bleachers

Jack coming for my life yet again. This song is so romantic but also so melancholy? Which is such a Daniel Humphrey Vibe.

And I'd rather be sad with you / Than anywhere away from you

All I Want - Joni Mitchell

I’m a white girl with a mother who grew up in the 60s, so I love Joni. And this song is so bubbly and joyful, but it’s also about a relationship between two imperfect people and wanting it to work anyway. Big “Despicable B” vibes!

All I really want our love to do / Is to bring out the best in me / And in you, too.

Dust to Dust - The Civil Wars

A friend in undergrad got me into the Civil Wars by showing me their live videos, and they have such incredible musical chemistry - like, the synchronicity of their ensemble is so good that it even comes through on their studio recordings and it makes these simple lyrics hit SO HARD.

You're just lonely / You've been lonely too long

NFWMB - Hozier

Ok, this had to be like the first ask I ever sent @bisexualdanhumphrey bc they wrote this fantastic meta post about Hozier and Derena but I said: “consider: NFWMB is a Dair song.” And they said, “You right.” I stand by it, and that’s why this song is on this list.

If I was born as a blackthorn tree / I'd wanna be felled by you / Held by you / Fuel the pyre of your enemies

Friday I'm in Love - covered by Phoebe Bridgers

This song - especially this cover - gives such Secret Friendship Arc vibes a la the end of 4x16...the inherent romance of eating pizza and falling asleep on the couch together

Always take a big bite / It’s such a gorgeous sight / To see you eat in the middle of the night

A Case of You - Joni Mitchell

Queen Joni again. Like! I am a lonely painter / I live in a box of paints. & The “You’re the star of Dan’s book” of it all in these lyrics!

I remember that time you told me / You said “Love is touching souls” / Surely you touched mine / ‘cause part of you pours out of me / In these lines from time to time.

Longing to Belong - Eddie Vedder

This is my thinly veiled attempt to tell more people about this: a song written and performed by Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder on ukulele, that is actually the softest love song in the history of western music.

All my time is spent here / Longing to belong to you

Bones - Josh Record

Okay, so, that Moment on the Couch at the end of 5x02? That’s this song.

And darling, when your feet are cold / Wait up, I'm coming home / And all of you I will hold / My love will clothe your bones

Cinnamon Girl - Lana Del Rey

The song for when you reach the end of plausible deniability - One all consuming paralyzing thought & You need to go back to Brooklyn - and it scares the heck out of you.

There's things I wanna say to you, but I'll just let you live / Like if you hold me without hurting me / You'll be the first who ever did

You and Me - You + Me

You can be flawed enough but perfect for a person

Section 3: Songs for Dancing in the Kitchen with Your Lover at 1 am

Cigarettes and Coffee - Otis Redding

The “Dan and I have a real connection song.” It’s about the romance of commonplace things when they’re with the right person.

But it seemed so natural, darling / That you and I are here

I'd Be Waiting - Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats

It’s “I just want to spend the day with you” but in like, slow-dance, sexy harmonies format.

If you ever get lonely if you never did

Never My Love - covered by Jakob Dylan and Norah Jones

The “Words of Affirmation” love song they deserve, and an underrated love song from Laurel Canyon, imho

What makes you think love will end? / When you know that my whole life depends / On you

Dancing in the Dark - covered by Morgan James

Okay so these lyrics are such Dan lyrics to me, it’s charmingly self-aware and self-deprecating. And this cover by Morgan James turns this staple rock song into something ~sexy~

I'm dying for some action / I'm sick of sittin' round here trying to write this book / I need a love reaction / Come on, gimme just one look

Oh Me Oh My (I'm a Fool for You) - Aretha Franklin

They’re literally always making each other laugh! It’s about feeling safe enough to be uninhibited and unselfconscious in your joy.

To make you laugh / I would be a fool for you

I Fall in Love Too Easily - as done by Chet Baker

No one, but no one sounds as sweet or as smooth as Chet. I know it, you know it, Hozier knows it. And this song and it’s titular thesis is so Them, it’s such a central part of their respective characters, and one of the things that makes them compatible.

My heart should be well schooled / 'Cause I've been fooled in the past

For Me Formidable - Charles Aznavour

Due entirely to this fic (Part II of a god tier s4 au) This is the end credits song for their full feature length Nora Ephron romcom.

NSFW Honorable Mention: Dinner & Diatribes - Hozier

it’s the definitive “men get pegged” representation, iykyk

[zosociologist]

"Dating Eddie (Vedder✨) Would be Like..." Headcannon

(a/n: written with a black reader in mind🍸)

Warnings?: Just a smidgen (just a.....a lil crumb👌) of smut👀👉👈

ABSOLUTE......C H A O S ! ! !

but a good kinda chaos

Eddie usually has himself together (sometimes) around others and the same thing goes for you

But when you two fucknuts get together......it's like someone dropped 50 mentos into a punch bowl full of diet coke(caine)

But you two are honestly the cutest, especially when you both haven't seen each other in a long time💞

At first you didn't take him for the cuddling type?

That shit got nipped in the bud REAL quick

HE LOVES PHYSICAL TOUCH!!!

ADORES IT

Any chance he gets he likes to hold onto you😭

You were watching 'A Different World' together at your shared apartment and you were sprawled out on the couch.....

DIS BOY.....had the au-d a c i t y to just lay on you!

"Sir, what are you doing?"

"I was cold and you're very warm and soft and you smell nice (:"

"Babe, it's 85 degrees outside-"

*you try to move* *he just shifts his head*

"Fuck it, go ahead😌"

You both have your parental moments where you have each other's back

Eddie pushes himself a lot, so you're always there to make sure he doesn't overdo it on certain things

And he knows when to pull the plug when he believes you're going past your limits

You're his biggest fan (Chris says otherwise👀👉👈 you all got drunk one night and you two had a showdown on who was the biggest Pearl Jam fan....Chris won 😂)

Live events? You're there hyping up the band at soundcheck and during performances, you know all the lyrics and play a mean air guitar👌

Of course you're cool with The Boys™, they think you're good for him yada yada yada all of that wholesome shit😏

EDDIE IS A BIG FAT HYPOCRITE

I'LL TELL YOU WHY

THIS MAN IS WILD ON STAGE. YOU'VE SEEN THIS. WITH YOUR OWN FUCKING VISION ORBS.

BUT WHEN IT COMES TO Y O U doing the simplest stuff?!

He won't let you do SHIT!

Exhibit A: *climbs a counter in the Kitchen to get something high up that HE MOST LIKELY PUT THERE*

"y/n what are you doing!? Get down you're gonna hurt yourself!!!"

"OH SO I CAN'T DO THIS BUT YOU CAN DANGLE OFF OF A FUCKING STAGE CEILING!?!?!?!?"

Looooots of adventures together!

Impromptu dates at hole in the wall restaurants

Record store trips: Gotta love music hunts!

You were heartbroken when you stood in line for literal hours for the new 'Tribe Called Quest' album and they sold out

Little did you know, Eddie got you a copy from the same shop a day in advance and really just fucking waited so you'd "appreciate it more".

"Don't worry, you don't have to thank me..........I lied, yes you do. Cash is accepted."

"I don't have cash, do you take sex?👀"

Speaking of Seeeeexxxxxxx😏

He's a freak (we been knew💀)

He'd take you ANYWHERE HE POSSIBLY COULD

Oh are you both at a party?

"You better keep that pretty mouth shut unless you want everyone to hear how fucking slutty you are~"

"~Okay~"

*pulls out completely* "Okay what."

"Okay Daddy~"

BUT Y'ALL AREN'T READY FOR THAT CONVERSATION😇🍸

Wash day for you? A pain. Only because he uses up your special hair products and shit when you decide to deep condition your hair

"EDDIE DID YOU USE ALL OF MY CREME OF NATURE CONDITIONER?!"

"I......................................but my curls-"

"FUCK YOUR CURLS I HAVE 4C HAIR BITCH!"

Of course, this leads to you having to make a stop to the beauty supply store!✨

Eddie loves going with you Every. Single. Time. U w U.

*gasps seeing a poster of a black woman with burgundy box braids* "Babe you'd look so cute with these!"

He loves watching you plat and fix your hair and take care of it, it's a culturally enriching experience for him that he appreciates😊

*watches you fix your hair in Bantu knots* "Oh those are BADASS!!!"

He thinks the world of you and who you are as a person, and would literally curbstomp a fucker if they had something insensitive or disrespectful to say about you. Then He'd tell folks. Then THEY'D curbstomp the fuck out of em.

EDDIE JEROME VEDDER DOES NOT PLAY ABOUT HIS BABY. PERIOOOOD!

You two get each other, and if it's good enough for you both...that's all that matters💕

But ummm......yeah! Y'ALL CUTE!!! OR WHATEVA!!!!
