Dancing there in the hot, hot sun. I know that we've got problems. I plan to address them another day. Palm trees in black and white. I see in technicolor. Maybe I'll take my glasses off so I stop painting red flags green. Lately, I've been sunning in the LA riverbed, wearing nothing but the summer bruises on my knees. I like how you talk, how you speak, how you look at me. But, lately, I can see, you wanted me sadder, baby. You wanted me sadder. You wanted me sadder. Can't you see it? For me, you are the one and if I'm not the one for you, fon't just say it. I was on the stairs, Ella Fitzgerald in the air. Feeling hella rare. Baby, if you care, baby, don't you dare say you'll braid my hair, see. Baby, if you care, then, baby, don't you dare say that you really care. Don't you dare say that you'll braid my hair when you get home tonight. If you don't really care, yeah, don't you dare say that you'll braid my hair, babe. If you don't really care, see, don't you braid my hair if you're not coming home to me, ah ah. You want someone sadder. Skipping rope in the bayou, bayou. Slip softly in terrain. I'm not that smart. But I've got things to say.

Fishtail (Loki x Reader)

A/N: This is the first fic I’m posting on this account, so I hope you enjoy!!

(Part of the LDR Song Series)

— ˗ˋ ୨୧ ˊ˗ —

“C’mere my love,” you we’re getting ready for your first official day at court with the love of your life. Serfs were bustling about, chatting about colors and fabrics as the small, warm breeze from the balcony came in. It brushed your face just so ever, your long strawberry blonde hair sweeping across your cheek.

“My love?”

Your focus shifted towards him, a rush of blood coming to the surface of your cheeks as you couldn’t help but smile.

“Mhm?” You hummed. The serfs prepared your dress and continued to ask you questions regardless of your answers.

“A lady should not have her hair waving about in court now should she?” His demeanor serious as he rested against his staff. As your smile fell, he came closer with his brows furrowed.

“Baby, you know i wasn’t serious.” He caressed your head, pushing the strands behind your ear.

He sat behind you on the bed, pulling your shoulders straight.

“Let me braid your hair sweet girl.” He brushed his fingers over the crown of your head, gathering a part to start braiding. You sat thoughtlessly as he gently tugged and pulled on your hair, making his way down to your ends in a fishtail pattern.

Your clammy hands sat clasped in your lap, as your teeth tugged at your bottom lip.

All you could think about was your first official day at court as newlyweds. The past month was bliss, the honeymoon surreal. Everything was forgotten till yesterday, when it was announced you and your husband would be in attendance for court that next afternoon.

“My love,”

Your thoughts cleared like clouds at the sound of his voice.

“You will be okay today. I will not leave your side, promise.” He offered his pinky just as you did as children. You took and bent yours around his.

“Promise.”

“Shall you get dressed now, darling?” He asked wrapping his arms around you.

“I suppose i should, hm?” You joked, he smiled before heading for the door.

“Ill be just outside, baby.”

You smiled as the door shut loudly behind him. Your handmaids bustled around you, taking your night clothes off and sticking you in a tight, but stunning asgardian dress, especially ordered by your dear husband.

“A lady should not wear that type of braid to court m’lady.” One of the older handmaids said, ushering to undo it.

“No,” you turned quickly, grabbing the braid as it swung around and putting it across your shoulder.

“But m’lady,” she tried to rebuttal. You’ve known her since childhood, she changed your diapers, so she had some pull on your opinions.

“No thank you. That is it.” You said coyly. She sighed and reached for the tiara you are to wear for that day.

Your cheeks grew red as she laid it on your head, realization once again seeping in.

“Are you ready my sweet?” He said through the door. Your cheeks were practically tomatoes at this point.

“Yes, my love.” You said as you opened the door. His eyes roamed over your body with such lust. A smirk appeared on his face as he put his hand behind your back ushering you forward.

As he kissed you forehead as you reached the top of the stairs, he leaned down to whisper.

“I shall thoroughly tug that braid later, hm?”

Fishtail - Lana Del Rey

Album Review of the Week: Lana Del Rey - Did You Know That There's A Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd (2023) ☆☆☆☆

LDR's ninth album opens with The Grants whose intro reflects a rehearsal of background singers which then morphs into a relaxed piano ballad. Her vocals are strong and better than ever thus far. The track swells into an emotionally gripping crescendo as the background singers take their posts, the piano grows more insistent and strings begin.

The album's title track Did You Know That There's A Tunnel Under Ocean Boulevard is next. The vocals are not quite as clear, we get back to the mumbling that tends to plague LDR tracks. Meanwhile, the melody flows like a swirl of autumn leaves on a soft, windy day. The pleading cries of "when's it gonna be my turn / don't forget me" echo throughout the track and again swells into a driving chorus, really folding you into this soundscape that is being introduced to you.

Sweet continues the piano ballad streak, it's a bit more sleepy and not quite as gripping as its predecessors.

A&W was the second single for this album and what made me interested in hearing the entire project (I tend to skip some LDR releases, mostly because it's hard to keep up with!) The second half is what gripped me at first but the more I listened to it, the more I appreciate the entire seven minute track. Something about the melody when she says "this is the experience of being an American whore" just really snaps you into it, as do the urgent high notes in the verses. Once we hit the four minute mark, the bass comes in and I was like 👀, excuse me... hello! After lamenting trouble finding love due to her apparent promiscuity, we get into a sassy moment where she tells them they're f*king up big time! And then I find myself bopping big time to a Lana Del Rey song, which doesn't happen too often just because they don't usually go this hard!

the judah smith interlude is an instant skip, bye. i hate the yelling!

Saving the moment, Candy Necklace comes in. The piano on this one is absolutely haunting. The music video definitely made me pay more attention to this track. I love the chorus's melody and how it quickens pace throughout. The piano solo is so incredibly gorgeous! This is followed by the Jon Batiste Interlude, he was featured on the previous track, and we get more of that haunting piano which is really great. It is also accompanied with studio chatter and some playful vocals from our main songstress.

With Kitsugi, we enter a portion of the album that doesn't have a lot of re-listen value to me. I'll play the songs when listening to the album in full but I don't think about them otherwise, just too slow! Maybe it is leftover fatigue, but Fingertips is somehow less interesting.

Paris, Texas picks things up with an interesting piano riff and vocals that closely follow its melody in a music-box fashion. One can nearly picture a ballroom waltz.

And now, for a title so long you cannot even read it in Spotify if you tried! Grandfather Please Stand On the Shoulders of My Father While He's Deep Sea Fishing. It has an almost movie-like quality as it picks up, almost feels like you are entering a fantasy world. Perhaps, an ocean that you can fly and breathe in, enjoying the scenery and wildlife around you.

Let the Light In is a good medium between the sleepy ballads and something that makes you pay attention. It is a sweet duet with Father John Misty that makes me think of a sleepy morning with the one you love!

Margaret takes a while to grab my attention, but I do really like the ending with spoken word and then the background singers become more prominent. That brings a more casual feel to end this string of more serious tunes. I really like the piano as it fades out as well.

Fishtail brings some bass back into the equation and even has some vocal effects which is unusual!

Okay, now we get into the fun part and the REASON I went straight to Target after work the day this came out. Peppers! The energy, the reverb, the beat, the hook. I never thought I would hear Lana Del Rey chant "hands on my knees" let alone follow it with "angelina jolie". I can see this being a great end-of-the-night cool-down track at the club. And then it takes another turn with a 60s bass line?? Ugh, so good.

Taco Truck x VB is my favorite track off of this album. What a closer! The instrumentals are absolutely fantastic. Spoiler alert - let me tell you when it morphed into Venice Bitch I lost my damn mind!!! That is one of my favorite songs of all time and having a "mini" version is so much fun as well as the fact that it was spiffed up a bit.

One thing I don't really love about this album is how the volume fluctuates, that is a big pet peeve of mine. It is very quiet and then we get to a song's climax and suddenly I have to scramble to turn it down a bit!

Although I do feel this album is a bit bloated and could lose a few tracks, the ones that I enjoy are songs that I kind of cannot stop listening to and this album has been in the back of my mind ever since it came out. I really wish I could appreciate Lana Del Rey the way that I know a lot of her fans do, but even though I am not there she still fascinates me a great deal.

While most of this album is the usual fare, there is a lot more experimenting as well which I absolutely love and hope to see more of in the future!

[jln1287]

After listening to the album, my heart sings at the thought of lizzy grant being at the core of the album. However, it sings in a minor key because sadness has itched its way through. Though, that I suppose is only how the light can get in. 💫
