Masterlist<3

Yay, this is so cute!! I wouldn't define my style as goth but it is more on the punk/grunge, so I hope I get this right. Thanks for requesting, nonnie! x

♡ Baby boy is so :(

♡ He holds no stereotypes or at the very least tries his best not to

♡ So, when he sees you defending a Gryffindor boy -surely a first year- from a group of Ravenclaws, it's safe to say he was head over heels.

♡ "Hey I-I just wanted to say that was very kind of you" all light voices trying to be masked by an overly confident body language because you're so tall in those boots holy shit you're intimidating

♡ You are until you flash a dazzling smile to him

♡ "It's the least I could do; poor kid was terrified of them. If only he knew we're all very scared of everything most of the time..." you wondered, walking to the covered bridge with your long, black leather coat floating almost divinely behind you

♡ "I-I'm James!" he shouts, hand in his fluffy hair as he stared at you go before turning around briefly and shouting back "I know!" with a giggle

♡ He was aghast, knowing he hadn't seen you before in all his years here. How could he miss you!?

♡ While you didn't share any classes, he made sure to take an extra look at the Hufflepuff table during lunch and found you there, giggling with your friends

♡ "James, eat up" Remus mumbled with a full mouth "He's in love, Moony. Let him enjoy the fleeting moments of joy that come with the sight of his belo-" "Shut up Sirius, I can't hear her"

♡ Not long after, he saw you in the steps for Hufflepuff during a Quidditch match. In a swift motion, he flew on his broom over to you

♡ "James!" you smiled. You were wearing a dress vest, a long raincoat and dress pants all in black, along with silver accessories "I'd say your name in the same excited tone but I don't have the pleasure of knowing it"

♡ He was such a charmer, couldn't help but blush a bit 🤭

♡ "It's Y/N, Y/N Y/L/N"

♡ My man felt butterflies, fireworks and his heart skipped a beat! It felt nice to say your name, a good feeling in his tongue that he couldn't get rid of

♡ Y/N, Y/N, Y/N

♡ He took a big deep breath and turned the slut on

♡ "You're on the wrong side of the stadium, darlin'. Should be on Gryffindor's side! Let me take you there" he said, offering his hand out, so you hopped on his broom

♡ You declined kindly, saying your friend was playing for the first time today and you couldn't leave.

♡ James feigned offence and winked before flying off with his signature smirk

♡ Two weeks later, at the match against Slytherin, he spotted a familiar face in the crowd while he stretched and played his best

♡ After that, you never really left his side

♡ You seemed to be everywhere! He found you in the library, during parties, on Hogsmeade and even in the hallways

♡ This turned you into something, making him ask you for a date eventually. A date you said yes to.

♡ Now to the dating part <3

♡ HE BUYS YOU GOTH SHIT HE KNOWS YOU'LL LIKE

♡ "Look! It's a silver cross!", "Baby I got this corset for you, they only had this tone of red though...", "I got your eyeliner refill... yes I know you still have some but it'll run out EVENTUALLY... love you too, dove”

♡ He borrows your crop tops ughhhh!!!

♡ Baby is so supportive!! Ofc you don’t care much about what people say about your style but if you ever have second guesses he makes sure to reassure you

♡ YOU BLESSED THIS WORLD WITH THE SIGHT OF JAMES POTTER WITH EYELINER

♡ He loves Siouxie and the Banshees bro, he’ll be forever grateful to you for showing him her cover of Passenger, originally by Iggy Pop

♡ Y’all go record shopping to the city <3

♡ “James, baby, I adore you but if Daniel Ash asked me out…”

♡ He gave you the silent treatment for like thirty minutes, caving when you pretended to be truly hurt

♡ James is a SUCKER for seeing you get ready

♡ Wether you wear huge eyeliner with intricate designs or just take a lot of time accessorizing, he’s there to admire and help in what he can!!

♡ Therefore, loves going shopping with you

♡ He incorporated some of your underground music knowledge to one up Sirius during muggle music discussions

♡ “Queen is great but have you heard Sisters of Mercy?” “James there’s not a point of comparison what the fuck are you talking abou-“

♡ Worships the ground you walk on pretty much

♡ You get many stares with different meanings when you walk through the school but the only one you care about is James’ lovesick gaze checking you out from one of the classroom’s doors

♡ “You’re so hot” he’d groan when you finally reach his arms before kissing you UGH SOMEONE BRING HIM TO ME NOW!!!

♡ Just imagining his linebacker figure, dressed in his jersey and being the sunshine he is next to you which are pretty much the opposite at first sight makes my heart all warm!!!!!!

♡ To end this, a random little hc I developed just now

♡ If you tend to be very all over the place and distracted like me, rest assured that James Potter knows where all your shit is

♡ “Love, have you seen my boots? The one’s with a bunch of buckles on them, can’t fin-“ “Bottom of the bed” …. “Jamie! Where’s my chain?” “Bats or coffin?” “Bats” “Top left drawer under your black shirt with the tiny holes on it”

♡ Sweet angel boy loves his goth girl!!

remus

regulus

goth and punk. favorite artists are joy division, alien sex fiend, the muslims, and the clash. doesn’t dress very punk but dresses in a more casual goth style. only goes all out for shows and concerts he goes to. most of his wardrobe is black so he can never find specific clothing items.

[boomclowntown]

Havik Head canons from someone who hasn't played MK1 yet.

When Havik gives kisses, he's just nipping whatever part of your face he's *kissing* with this teeth.

Prefers an autumn color pallet, takes a lot of comfort in warm tones.

Prefers silvers, learned it's a metal that tends to represent working and lower class citizens on earth and liked that symbolism.

Trophies luxuries he's found from the oppressors he's killed/conquered, sometimes gifts those same luxuries to his own people after modifying them, so that they aren't caught with those goods and falsely accused.

He approached the concept of Anarchy and non-hierarchical governments with sincerity at some point but became desperate as his protests continuously failed under Seido's oppression and ruthless militaristic responses to it. At the expense of many protestors lives and his own experiences, any concept of government began to prove untrustworthy.

Some of the reason he clings to chaos has more to do with being berated by the oppressors, trying to incite division within his protest by falsely titling him as a zealot. Havik became disillusioned with his effort to persevere over the oppressors cruelty, and just decided to become the thing he was always painted to be in the media. Leaning into chaos as a method of combat incited the fear in his oppressor that he needed to make them buckle and made his protest methods ruthlessly unpredictable. it very quickly became more difficult for Seido's Leaders to take advantage of what arguable few followers he has left because of this change, Seido's Leaders could no longer bank on Havik's empathy for his own people or whatever sympathy he had for those unknowingly benefitting from the oppressive system...

Johnny tried to be buddies with Havik at some point and sent him an earth realm, punk playlist on cassette w/ a walkman. Granted, as a celebrity, Johnny only really understands punk at a surface level, so the punk rock he sends Havik tends to be old school and quite popular, with titles like Iggy pop, stooges and rancid. One could even say some artists he shared weren't technically punk, regardless, Havik loves listening to it. Johnny chose to send Havik a cassette player for aesthetic reasons, but also bc he's introducing outworld Kombatants to earth realm technology in little bits at a time.

Havik has broken, picked at, ripped and shredded pieces of himself off and re-healed it over again to get certain scars to look more aesthetically pleasing to himself. He sees his self mutilation as a form of expression, in the same way some one might dye their hair or pierce their nose.

Loves grunge punk and denim jeans.

He breaks his bones at the joints alot trying to crack them bc he always has the feeling of needing to crack his joints but they just won't.

Breath smells bad bc he doesn't brush his tongue when he cleans his teeth. Also just heals his cavities.

Prefers candle light and sunlight to overheads.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Scott McKenzie, the singer-songwriter best known for his association with John Phillips and the 1967 Summer of Love anthem “San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Flowers in Your Hair),” the sonic tract that called 1000s of young people to California.

 

Phillips (who played on the track with The Wrecking Crew) wrote the song to appease authorities concerned that hippies would overrun the Bay Area for the Monterey Pop Festival. Peace and love prevailed. The song has been used in several films and was a theme for the Prague Spring Czech uprising in 1968. That same year, McKenzie’s next Top 40 hit “Like an Old Time Movie” (also written and played by Phillips) segued with McKenzie writing “What About Me” for Anne Murray (her first hit single).

 

Like many artists circa 1960, McKenzie morphed out of doo-wop and became a folkie, joining the New York folk scene that beget The Mamas & The Papas. Phillips initially invited McKenzie to join that group but he declined, saying he didn’t want “the pressure.” Years later McKenzie joined a road version of The Mamas & The Papas in 1986. Concurrently, the Phillips-McKenzie team joined Mike Love and Terry Melcher to create the huge Beach Boys hit “Kokomo.”

 

The evergreen “San Francisco” remains McKenzie’s best-known work (he passed from Guillain-Barre syndrome in 2010). Periodically I dabbled with the song, dirty demo-ing a grunge-y Iggy Pop-like update: https://johnnyjblairsingeratlarge.bandcamp.com/track/san-francisco-be-sure-to-wear-flowers-in-your-hair-demo-remastered-2020

 

HB and RIP Scott.

[mother-chorizo]

Thing about punk rock is that pure-strain punk rock actually sucks while music that's adjacent to it is really good. Proto-punk like Iggy and the Stooges and Patti Smith rules, glam rock like David Bowie rules, new wave like Blondie and Siouxsie and the Banshees rules, goth rock like The Sisters of Mercy and Bauhaus rules, grunge like Nirvana rules. But the bands people cite as like, straight up "punk rock" like The Ramones and the Sex Pistols, fucking sucks. It's power pop. Oh I forgot Suicide, the first people to actually advertise themselves as "punk" but whom most now would call "techno-punk," they rule too. People with shit, boring taste are going to fight me on this but real ones know I'm telling the truth.

[music-of-moonless-skies]

Ok I'll bite: what genre of music are moonless skies part of in your head? Do you have recommendations? Please help I need some new sounds in my ears

And have a nice day! I hope the airport business went well 🧡

omg hey! I love this ask. thank you for being so sweet. The airport day was...quite an event but it's great to be home.

So the blog name actually is a combo of two songs: Music of the Night from Phantom of the Opera and Beneath a Moonless Sky from the (not very good) Phantom sequel Love Never Dies. I accidentally deleted my old blog when I was deep into a Poto era. This aside, I felt like it fit my vibe and I do love music, so I've got you.

my usually taste in music centers around punk, goth, grunge, and 80's n 90's stuff but I always like strange and off putting things (that's my idea of music of moonless skies).

In terms of punk stuff, I really like Bikini Kill and Iggy Pop

Goth-wise, I like the classics so Bauhaus, Siouxsie and the Banshees, The Cure, and Christian Death

For grunge I'd have to go with Alice In Chains, Silverchair, and some Stone Temple Pilots

and for a couple random, kind of strange stuff, I'd say Will Wood and the Tapeworms and some Butthole Surfers

If you like Indie I don't have much for you cause I don't listen to that anymore but The Backseat Lovers will always have a place in my heart

I rambled on for quite awhile, I apologize. If you want more specific recommendations for genres, songs, or playlists, my asks and dm's are always open, darling. <3

Shuffle your favorite playlist and post the first five songs that come up. Then copy/paste this ask to your favorite mutuals. 💌💜

Hi Jessica thank youuuu for the ask 🥰 going with my daylist so if it's a bit weird that's why, it's not that my taste in music is odd 😅 today's list is called "post-grunge gritty saturday" ☺️

[60mpcperformancejasmansell]

This was our full setlist and how we came about performing them

Our first song, "Help me! I'm recovering from sepsis!!" is an instrumental song that was written from Feliks and Stanislav playing around with chords, which we had decided should be a song so we all learnt our own parts to it. Since there were no vocals and it was quite a short song, we made it our "opening" song.

The second song that we performed was another original song called "Dogfight". This song was composed by me while I was playing around with some riffs at home. It has an upbeat and heavy rhythm and a low and grunge-y melody. I showed the rest of my bandmates and we all agreed that it would make a good song for our setlist. I taught everyone the melody and riff, and we got the song all together within about four days. After we got the instrumental together, Willow wrote some lyrics after I gave a her a fair understanding of the vocal melody I had in mind and we finally had a full song just before the performance date.

After performing a couple of original songs, we decided to put in a cover: The Passenger by Siouxsie and the Banshees/Iggy Pop. We were mainly inspired by Siouxsie's style but we sort of added our own original things, such as Feliks playing the melodica.

Our third original is actually the first one we've written, called "Die on the Sofa". This was written way back around October/November 2022 when Feliks, Stanislav, KJ and I first became a band. It was first composed by Stanislav coming up with some chords on the guitar, to which I improvised a drumbeat to it and Feliks following it with a bassline. Feliks taught the bassline to KJ, and with me being the vocalist at the time, I came up with a vocal melody and lyrics. This was one of the originals we performed for our first gig in the Old Fire Station, Bournemouth. When Willow joined our band later on, I taught her the lyrics and for this particular performance, it was a pretty easy song to accomplish since most of us were already familiar with it.

Next we performed "Just a Girl" by No Doubt. This song was probably one of the simplest songs we've performed as we had it learned within a few days. It was also the first song that we fully had down.

Again, our fourth original song is a song that we had already written before for our first performance, "Weird D". I came up with the chords/drumbeat, KJ made up her own bassline and Feliks came up with a riff, which was used in the intro, bridge and ending of the song. Since he was not in on the day, we showed Stanislav what we had made of the song so far and he played some lead parts throughout the verses/chorus. After recording the song with my phone, I took it home and wrote some lyrics.

The next song we played was "Square Hammer" by Ghost. This was one of the more difficult songs to perform since Ghost has three guitarists and they use a lot of synth in their songs. We worked our way around the synth and decided to just make do without it and unfortunately the song didn't sound as heavy and punchy as the original song because of our lack of a third guitarist. This song took quite a while for us to get the hang of since the drumbeat and guitar solo were quite complicated, but we overall had an okay take on the song when it was performed.

Our last original song was called "Soapdive" and was quite an easy song to come up with since there weren't that many chords and it was an easy 4/4 rhythm. Willow was able to quickly come up with some lyrics and we had it down within a couple days.

Finally, our last song was played purely for comedic entertainment: "What's New Scooby Doo?" by Simple Plan. One of the easiest songs to play since it was short and consisted of only four chords. We quickly put it together after I suggested it simply because I thought it would be a really funny song to end on.
