hi, you don't know me but incredifishface sent me :) i was wondering if you had any suggestions for a newish led zep fan and jimbert enthusiast vis a vis youtube videos? i have been reading the meta on ao3 and there are so many references to interviews and performances and i want to see for myself but when i search on youtube i am just really overwhelmed by how much there is. fishie said you might have some ideas of where to start? peace and many thanks <3
hi! no, I recognise you, I saw you follow me a couple of days ago. welcome to the fandom, small as it is, it's always great to see new people discover the joy that is Zeppelin and have them look deeper into jimbert. d'you know, it was actually Fishie who first opened my eyes to the latter, for which I will be forever grateful to her :) I hope you like the meta.
to tell you the truth, it has been a couple of years since was actively involved in the fandom, and even back then I didn't really keep track of the videos due to a) my memory being shit and b) getting more out of their songs/photos/even album covers than any videos. there are for sure people who'd be better equipped to answer this ask. that said, you could search my blog for the word 'interview' as a starting point and surely find something interesting, be it videos or magazine articles - back then I tried to tag everything properly so it should work okay. although most vids will probably not be jimbert-related, they are imo nevertheless thoroughly enjoyable. I've always been more into Jimmy than anyone else so you should expect my posts to reflect that.
you could also search [my blog] for the tags #jimbert and #my favourite husbands. these might be a bit harder to navigate if you are only interested in videos but they should hopefully still be fun to sift through. I really tried to reblog and collect anything that caught my eye. you also might find more jimbert meta that didn't make it to ao3 in the tags #digging deeper and #fun with lyrics.
as for your comment about there being too many videos to choose from, just you wait. once you go down this rabbit hole and start watching everything, you run out of new things pretty fast. luckily, they are all highly rewachable :)
my favourite jimbert iteration is actually the page/plant era, but in my experience, it's not everyone's cup of tea right off the bat. so it might not be to your taste just yet, but I promise you'll get there eventually. I thought I'd leave a couple of suggestions here off the top of my head, but there's really no point. once you get to that stage, pretty much anything you can find works (both interviews and live shows). there are press conferences from that time that I've never seen, too.
but here's a cute momemt for you: https://www.tumblr.com/imoldgreggory/664674515246317569?source=share
also there's several videos of Robert wearing a Jimmy Page t-shirt (for instance https://www.tumblr.com/alfhelmhropaz/642729911081189376?source=share), and I remember him doing an interview in it too, but I can't seem to find it right now.
I don't know if there are many jimbert fans left among my followers, but someone might always see this post and add some suggestions in the comments, who knows.

happy birthday jeremy jordan!!
because it's his birthday, i drew jay gatsby climbing back over the fence after only tea. because i thought it was funny and it turned out better than i expected. colored version and uncolored.
also this. rip the quality (i traced the set pieces on the side and his silhouette guys, no i'm not that good at drawing)
now i'm going to yap about jeremy for far too many paragraphs, feel free to scroll past lmao
some of this may be inaccurate or out of order (or incoherent) because, honestly, i don't remember all the details of my jeremy journey (instinctively went to type 'jordan'-)
okay, so, although i've only known who he is for about seven months, i guarantee that watching hazbin hotel is one of the best decisions i could've ever made. because then i learned about jeremy, fell in love with his voice, then watched newsies. and so my love for musical theater was born and now i'm a complete and utter theater nerd (as many people who know me can tell you lmao).
because i have far too much free time, i will now construct a vague timeline of when i watched/discovered things jeremy's in. like i said, far too much free time.
i watched hazbin on april 1st and 2nd, binged it pretty fast lmao. completely didn't know beforehand that it was a musical, so that was a nice surprise. and, yeah, this lucifer guy, love him to death (haha). then this video popped up on my youtube home page, and i really like hazbin, so sure why not.
fast forward a bit, i looked at jeremy's imdb or wiki page and wait- huh? he's in tangled the series?? (which is actually a really funny coincidence, because a few years back, early on during the pandemic, i watched the first episode of tts. which is indeed the one with varian. so i'd actually heard him before). so i figured, why not watch that, i know jeremy jordan has a great voice.
sometime around here, i start watching yt vids of jeremy's performances. she used to be mine, it's all coming back to me now, all those. also gave the english concept album of death note a listen, since i'd seen it on jeremy's wiki page.
it's the end of april now, and i'm going somewhere with no wifi for a little over a week, so i download tts. (funny story, i accidentally didn't download the last two episodes, so i started s2, and was just confused. like huh?? i didn't see that happen.. my dumbass didn't realize that i was missing episodes until i was like a bit into s2. tragic)
few days in, i remember that i actually have newsies downloaded somewhere, and hey isn't jeremy jordan in that? (recognized it from aforementioned yt vid on hazbin actors) so i watch it and fuck yeah that was pretty good, loved the set especially.
(here's when i added santa fe to my playlist. before i watched newsies, actually.)
fast forward through may (honestly, may was a blur lmao). i finished tts, was briefly obsessed with wicked, discovered a few more projects jeremy was in (lsoh, b&c), found out he could've been in the greatest showman, watched la la land, finally gave chappell roan a listen. stuff like that.
june (and also july)! and, what's this? the great gatsby? (the first three releases) loved past is catching up to me, didn't realize roaring on was noah ricketts, etc. then the bonnie & clyde proshot (i managed to find a slime on yt, unfortunately it got deleted. i do have it downloaded if anyone wants it)
august. watched the last five years (i didn't know it was told backwards from her perspective and forward from his because i didn't read the summary. do you know how confused i was 💀)
september! one of the best months of my life ngl. saw the great gatsby on the 13th (and hamilton on the 25th). saw the whole cast except for noah ricketts (dan rosales was brilliant though). it was amazing bro, no other notes really. when i first saw him on stage, i nearly died, and then he started singing and i actually did /pos. everyone was so good, i can't even
and, yeah, here we are.
i don't know why i decided to make this post help 😭
if you read all this, thank you? i guess?
have a nice day and, idk, stop scrolling tumblr, take a break
#happy birthday jeremy jordan#jeremy jordan appreciation post#aka: king yaps about his favorite performer for a long fucking time#am i weird for this?#yes#don't mind me guys#jeremy jordan#king yaps#my art#the great gatsby musical#bwaygatsby

hi I absolutely love your writing!!! may I request the upper moons walking in/hearing reader singing a love song that they're so sure is about them, along with their reactions?
not necessary to add, but it'd be funny if reader had that song playing in their head over and over due to how in love they are while in the middle of a meeting with muzan and him going "what the fuck, who is this for, you're pathetic"
thank you so much for your time!
My brain after reading this ask in bethesda game quest format: *skyrim quest initiation drums* Find a song that at least have love included that represents the Uppermoons.
I loved this concept, call me cringe or whatever but if you have never liked a musical song (movie songs included, don't you go on denial. If you liked disney the stfu) or appreciate a good Opera (the LUNGS these people have, try singing in a threater loud enough for everyone to hear you without a mic, I dare you), then you're missing something.
I'm very sorry for the wait, I hope you like this one too. Thank you for the request too, it's something different and I had fun with it.
Uppermoons and GN reader confessing over a song (Musical AU with modern music and spotify/music youtube)
Songs used: [vid with lyrics + translation if needed]
Gyutaro - Your love is my drug (Kesha)
Gyokko - Prisoner (Jeffree Star)
Sekido - Dark red (Steve Lacy)
Karaku - Perro fiel (Shakira ft. Nicky Jam)
Urogi - Balada (Gusttavo Lima)
Aizetsu - Name of love (Bebe Rexha and Martin Garrix)
Nakime - Boyfriend (Dove Cameron)
Akaza - Love story (Indila)
Douma - Shut up and listen (Nicholas Bonnin)
Kokushibou - Tsuki no curse (Reika Okina)
Warnings: My broken taste in music, sexual content mentioned (in song), sexual content implied, slight drug use mentioned (in song), Akaza sings in french and slight angst, yandere behavior (in song),
Gyutaro:
"Maybe I need some rehab. Or maybe just need some sleep. I got a sick obsession. I'm seein' it in my dreams." Holy SHIT you listen Kesha? He listens Kesha too! His sister was the one to introduce him to the artist and, he admits, the songs are very catchy. "What you got, boy, is hard to find! I think about all the time.I'm all strung out, my heart is fried. I just can't get you off my mind" "Your love is my drug" is not really his favorite from her, "blah blah blah" and "cannibal" take that prize by far (no, it's not because it's fun to sing as if he was high, he doesn't sing... at all... no, Daki, he just said he would not-)
"Because your love, your love! Your love is my drug! Your love, your love, your love!" Fuck. He really didn't mean to, he just... did it. You look at him surprised, you didn't even know he was around. Still you laugh a bit with him as he keeps singing as he forces you into his shoulder and back like he does with Daki. "I said your love, your love, your love is my drug! Your love, your love, your love!" He moves slightly, careful not to drop you, he just looks so active and joyful.
You are addicted to this side of him to, this one it barely shows, that side of him that is actually fun to be with, chaotic and messy the same way he is intimate and caring. This is your guy. "But left to my own devices I'm addicted, it's a crisis. My friends think I've gone crazy." He interrupts again. "OH! I like this part! My judgment's getting kinda hazy. My steeze is gonna be affected if I keep it up like a lovesick crackhead." You let him keep singing, until it gets to a part that is important to you, in ehich you get off Gyutaro to cup his face in your hands, making eye contact.
"I don't care what people say. The rush is worth the price I pay. I get so high when you're with me. But crash and crave you when you leave." There, you got it, you see his eyes glow a little as he keeps looking at you, face blushing. He gets it. He always gets it, even when he doesn't want to. "Wow. Ne, just... wow. This song is perfect for you, y'know?" You chuckle a little at that. "How about you? Do you also feel like that?" He looks at the other side a bit embarrased before nodding. "I do, ne. The song is good. Really good." Maybe that is why you spend the rest of the night singing it, along with other songs from Kesha. It was lovely (Also, he nails it at blah blah blah), you wilk repite it again.
Gyokko:
"I got no regrets. And I remember the day that we met. There was no way that I could forget you.So I followed you home. And I waited 'til you were alone." Ok, Gyokko doesn't even own a home, staying at the house of his victims for a week or so doesn't count, even if you have followed him to one or two of them. He was the one to invite you, the behaviors of this song is not yours. If it had to be someone's, it would be Gyokko's. "And I know this seems so wrong. But I'm just a lovesick criminal."
"Oh! I knew you had good taste, but this is amazing!" You never stfu faster than that, closing your mouth the second you heard Gyokko's voice. You turn around and he seems... cheerful. "You can arrest me, baby, I don't wanna leave. Lock me up, throw away the key. I don't care if I'm in trouble deep. I'm addicted to your love." He keeps singing it, moving with the beat. You knew the song was his taste, but you didn't expect this outcome. "I love that song. One of my favorites. And the fact that you love it too! It's magnificent!" Still, if he is aware of the main reason you like the song, he doesn't let it show.
"I'll be your prisoner. I'll be your prisoner tonight." You keep goin, not knowing if it's to pretend nothing happened or if you are just vibing with it, but you both keep going. "I, I, I, I'm under your spell. And I just can't get enough!" You don't talk about it until you finish the song, but... you will, you can sense it. But you can also see Gyokko smiling, enjoying the time with you. "I'm prepared for all the consequences." "Believe me, I have the worst intentions." "I'm prepared for all the consequences! Believe me, believe me!"
You will be fine.
Sekido:
Sekido is NOT going to apologize, he never even thought about it. Sure, he was rude to you and maybe crossed a line or two, but you made him angry first. You also crossed the line this time! He doesn't even remember what you said to each other, but he remember it was bad. Why would he apologize if he is wondering if he even should forgive you. "Something bad is 'bout to happen to me. I don't know it, but I feel it coming. Might be so sad, might leave my nose running. I just hope she don't wanna leave me." He stopped when he heard your voice.
Sekido was never the one to plead, he was never the one to even ask for things. He is by far the most prideful of the clones. But if you were actually to go, to leave- "Don't you give me up, please don't give up. Honey, I belong with you, and only you, baby. Only you, my girl, only you, babe. Only you, darling, only you, babe. Only you, my girl, only you, babe. Only you, darling, only you." Wouldn't he beg like this, so pitiful and needy, because even if he doesn't want to admit it... he loves you. "Y/N."
He interrupts you, making you just realize he is there. "Is this... how you feel. Or am I reading this wrong?" He gets close slowly, but you can't really answer. You also don't want to be the one to apologize first, to admit you need him as much as he needs you without knowing what he is feeling. After some seconds of silence Sekido looks away and starts singing what you just sand, but more like a murmur, if the lips separated less then it would onlu be a hum. "Don't you give me up, please don't give up. Honey, I belong with you, and only you, baby." It sounds sincere. It is.
None of you apologizes, you both just keep... singing and huming. Just staying together, not wanting to leave. At all.
Karaku:
"C'mon, what were you humming, hot-stuff? I heard you just now. I promise not to laugh even if it's a lame virging song." He is teasing you. Of course he is, but he won't leave you alone until you obey. "How about you sing it? Since the song is clearly stuck in your head." How did he actually convince you? Only Karaku knows, but in the end you do as he says. Maybe you wanted this, to take it out of your chest. He has no way you actually think about him everytime you hum this song. Is like conffesing without actually doing so. "Aquí estás. Ya no puedes detenerte. ¿Dónde vas? Si estoy loco por tenerte." He seems to recognize the song, raising an eyebrow while smirking. "¿Cómo lo iba a saber? Que te vería otra vez. Tú me confundes no sé qué hacer...." You stop.
This is embarrasing, you better leav- "Yo lo que quiero es pasarla bien. Yo tengo miedo de que me guste, y me haga enloquecer. Si eso pasa yo seguiré. Contigo aquí como un perro fiel." Oh.... oh. He likes the song, and you don't know why, but that alone raises your confidence. Specially when he grabs your hand to make you spin around, as if dancing, laughing cheerfuly and loudly when you follow the lead. "Yo tengo miedo de que me guste, y me haga enloquecer." "Like that! Keep it up." You do, sometimes he moves as if to dance, mostly keeping himself roamimg around you, interrupting to sing himself or cheer up at times.
"Dicen que tú eres peligrosa. No le hago caso a esas cosas. Dime qué está pasando. Me tienes como un loco, soy un loco enamorado, eh." "Crazy man in love", that parts come from your heart, because you are in love. He puts one hand behind your head and the other in your waist before going the next part. "Quiero saber cuánto me vas a insistir. Y hasta dónde llegarías por mí. Siento mucho la espera. Pero valdrá la pena cuando te esté besando." "When I kiss you", and he just finishes the verse by doing so. And damn if it isn't worth every damn second of yearning. He speaks again after pulling apart, only inches away from your face. "Best love confession ever, hot-stuff. Very nice to use a "romantic" language. Keep coming for me and I'll keep you as mine, got it?"
What else were you meant to do but nod? Damn, you don't have to be a genius to know where the night is going. And you are going to like it.
Urogi:
For context... You were singing, only to stop when Urogi appeared from the sky. Now he has been following you "C'mon, sing again. PLISS? I like that song, I promise. I just want to hear you sing it." It took less than an hour of whining and puppy-eyes to convince you.
"Eu já lavei o meu carro, regulei o som. Já 'tá tudo preparado, vem que o brega é bom. Menina fica a vontade, entre e faça a festa. Me liga mais tarde, vou adorar, vamos nessa" And Urogi interrupts, to your surprise, singing the next part as he flies around you, grabbing your hands in his, exagerating movements as if dancing. "Gata, me liga, mais tarde tem balada! Quero curtir com você na madrugada! Dançar, pular até o Sol raiar! C'MON, IT'S YOUR TURN Y/N!" You follow the song and repear that same fragment before Urogi steals the next part again.
"O tchê tcherere tchê tchê! Tcherere tchê tchê! Tchê, tchê, tchê!" The song barely says anything at all. It's barely has content, but... it fits Urogi. It's more a thing of vibe than of actual words. "Se você me olhar vou querer te pegar. E depois namorar, curtição. Que hoje vai rolar." Really, it's simple, the song could be sintesized in a "let's party and if I catch your eye let's stay together the whole night", but it's cheerful, full of joy, very light... very Urogi. Maybe that is why you like it.
You are unsure if Urogi gets what you are really feeling, but he gets completely the song. And he does want to stay with you and have fun the whole night. It's a win. You will be able to explain things to him later, but for now. "Gusttavo Lima!"
Aizetsu:
"If I told you this was only gonna hurt. If I warned you that the fire's gonna burn. Would you walk in? Would you let me do it first? Do it all in the name of love?" Just after you finish that part you feel a hand on your shoulder, you turn around to see Aizetsu. You blush at the realization he found you singing, though he is blushing too. "Would you mind if I sing with you?" He doesn't explain himself futher as he asks shyly, you can only nod as he takes a breath to continue the song.
"Would you let me lead you even when you're blind? In the darkness, in the middle of the night. In the silence, when there's no one by your side." He looks at you as if waiting you to join, smiling softly as he offers his hand. "Would you call in the name of love?" You take it. "In the name of love, name of love. In the name of love, name of love. In the name of." You basically also hum together the instrumental, in a softer version. You spare glances on each other, deep and adoring.
"When there's madness, when there's poison in your head." It's almost as if you were actually talking. "When the sadness leaves you broken in your bed." You sure get that Aizetsu means it. Every word of it, that is why he wanted to sing with you. "I will hold you in the depths of your despair." "And it's all in the name of love" And so. "I wanna testify." "Scream in the holy light." "You bring me back to life." And it's all in the name of love. That you look at each other, hold your hands, talk. Because you do talk once you both finish.
"I love you a lot. Do you.. it would make me sad if you were not singing for me like I was singing for you.... but I would unders-" you must interrupt him "I was singing for you too." He smiles softly at you. "Can.... can I kiss you? Please?" No, because you kiss him first. What a lovely song, lovely night, and lovely romance.
Nakime:
"I could be a better boyfriend than him, I could do the shit that he never did. Up all night, I won't quit." Not the type of melody Nakime is used to, the opposite, but it's a nice song. "Thinking I'm gonna steal you from him. I could be such a gentleman." You sing with the most care, because you know she is watching, she is hearing, even if you can't see her. This is her castle, after all.
You know what you are doing, the message that you are giving. Nakime loves music, what better way to confess than with a song. And this is a song which just... vibes with her. You have no idea if she has ever heard it before, but it seems it doesn't matter. "I don't need to tell you twice. All the ways he can't suffice. If I could give you some advice. I would leave with me tonight." It doesn't, because she is talented in her art. So she plays the biwa, making a beat for you to follow. "The universe must have divined this, mmm, mmm. Ladies first, baby, I insist."
"I could be a better boyfriend than him. I could do the shit that he never did. Up all night, I won't quit. Thinking I'm gonna steal you from him. I could be such a gentleman." She sings this part with you, using the biwa to also change the settings. It gets a bit dizzy, but you love the display. She is very proud of her power. "Plus all my clothes would fit." She sings that part alone once you are both in the same room.
You look at her, she smiles at you. Seeing you are not going to sing anymore, she speaks. "I liked your song. Let's do this again some time. It's a date." She says, just before leaving you in your home. A date... you are proud of yourself, that's it. The lesbian power of the song did it trick, like you knew it would. You. Won.
Akaza:
Akaza doesn't know why he hasn't shown himself, he just... got lost in the song. It's one he knows, the melody,, the lyrics, the meaning... "Il n'est pas fou. Il l'aime c'est tout. Il la voit partout. Il l'attend debout. Debout une rose à la main. Non, non plus rien ne le retient." It's a lovely song, he can't think other way to describe it that is not deppressing, to be honest, and he doesn't want to think this song as sad, even if his chest aches a bit with it. "Dans sa love story!" "It's a love story", as said before, he knows the lyrics, he knows the meaning, and Akaza likes it. You keep singing for a while before even realizing he is there, but one second you open your eyes and turn around, facing the golden eyes.
"Em... how long have you been standing there?" You ask embarrased, blushing as Akaza also has some red in his cheeks. He doesn't answer your question, just takes some steps forward to grab gently yet firm, somehow desesperate, your hands into his. "Can you please keep singing? Please?" He asks twice, looking away as he whispers the secon pleading. You decide to just keep singing. "Je serai riche. Et je t'offrirai tout mon or. Et si tu t'en fiches. Je t'attendrai sur le port. Et si tu m'ignores...." "And if you ignore me...."
You know, you have seen, that Akaza is mourning, yearning, or something. You don't know, he himself doesn't know, but that nostalgia and melancholy.... sometimes you feel it takes him away from you. That is why you didn't want him to listen you sing about him, to confess. Because you are unsure id he will "Je t'offrirai mon dernier souffle de vie." "Give you the las breath of my life" and yet he keeps singing for you without letting your hands go. "Dans ma love story!"
"Et il y a toi..." Akaza waits for you to continue, tender and adoring eyes, "Et il y a moi." Yes! There is you. There is! And you are hopeful Akaza is there, is here, too."Et personne n'y croit. Mais l'amour fait d'un fou un roi. Et si tu m'ignores.... J'me battrai encore et encore!" "C'est ta love story!" You take that as a confession, and it shows in your blushed face and adoring eyes, he seems to agree in it. "C'est ta love story!" And of course, you join. "C'est l'histoire d'une vie! Love story!" You just look at each other, not bothering with the world, and giving in to tentation. You both kiss.
(And actually have to talk things through AFTER, you know? This is not a musical, as romantic as it was.)
Douma:
"Shut up and listen. Look at my eyes, don't tell me lies. I need you to tell me truth." You started singing on your own, but Douma got in the room, looking curious. He doesn't move besides closing the door besides him, doesn't speak, just... stands ghere, watching you. But part of you feels like he is urging for more. It's hard to tell, because he always urging for more of everything. "You gotta be clear, tell me the details. I gotta know as much as it hurts. I need you to tell me the truth." More violence, food, attention, power, sensations, pain... it's unclear most of the times. It becomes really hard to tell if he actually likes you.
"Bet you like it when I show up in a gown. Let my body work it out, slow your grind. Don't tell me to stop it, just let me on top and. Baby, you want it, yeah." He sings after you repeat the same part, maybe he hust wanted to do that. If it's because he wants to share the song with you or if he is just messing around... Douma himself probably isn't 100% sure. "When you tie me, do it slow, forget the time. Move position, take me south, ease your mind. Don't tell me to stop it, just let me on top and. Baby, you want it, yeah." He goes to grab you, to press his body against you. He understands the lyrics, not being able to recognize emotions doesn't make him stupid or inmune to sex. This is probably how the night will end.
Maybe it's better that way. "Slow it down if you need to, oh. Show me how just to please you. Ooh, work it out in the sheets. Do me and see through, I want to you feel you." Staying safe, showing intimacy in a way Douma can actually understand it, instead of leaving him guessing and wondering how he should feel. How a normal human, even a normal demon, would feel. You wish these things could be explainede with words in a language Douma fully knows. But the language is not the problem, nor is Douma or you.
You spend the night together, limbs tangling both bodies. Douma is content, satified, you too. Even if you feel like there a lot more things to say, but there is hardly a moment or a way to do so....
Kokushibou:
"Tsuki no kaasu tsumetai yume no naka de....." If you ask Kokushibou, music that is not in japanese is not real music. He is stuck in his own ass, always too focused on tradition and hierarchy and how japan is the "raising sun" blah blah blah. Sometimes he gets very annoying like that, to the point loving him does feel like a curse. "Kotoba no nai sekai de. Bokura wa ai wo kataru. Itsuka kimi ni todoku made..." wait a sec- Kokushibou is behind you, isn't he? You turn around and yep, he is. "Kokushibou-san...."
He keeps quiet for a while, like always, until he finally thinks he has something worth saying. "I like that song. Can you keep singing for me?" You really wanted to say no, but you also wanted to sing for him. After all, this song is recorded in your mind just for him. "Tsuki no kaasu. Tsumetai yume no naka kara. Kimi wo tooku tsuresaritakute. Dokomade yukeru. Ai wo shinjite ii basho made." Maybe another person, demon or human, would have joined and singed with you. Kokushibou did not.
"Dokomade yukeru. Ai wo shinjite ii basho made. Yoru no mukou futari dake de." Ypu finished the song for him, barely getting any reaction. This song is really perfect for you both. "Thank you for singing for me." He barely understands, it's not a surprise for you to have to actually explain it. "I did it because that is how I feel about you." Silence again, you are more than used to it. Kokushibou is not a person of intimacy, of sharing feelings, he clearly doesn't know how to answer back, and part of you feels guilty for putting him in the situation of having to. "I see."
He leaves after that, and you know he will evade you for at least a week or two from know own. If you are lucky he will want to talk about it after that and tell you he feels the same. But until then... it's a "Moon's curse in this icy dream."
Bonus:
Muzan: And then Nakime is going to su-
*Song from above starts playing in the background*
Muzan: Excu- *looking around* ..... Who is playing....?
Akaza: Is something wrong, Muzan-sama?
Muzan: Am I the only one hearing this?
Gyutaro: ..... I don't hear anything.
Nakime: Sorry.
Kokushibou: Hmn?
. . .
Y/N humming with the song on their head: Mhmnhmnhmn mhn hmn hmn mhn.
Muzan: SHUT THE FUCK UP, IT'S BEEN 5 HOURS WITH THAT SAME SONG! AT LEAST PUT SOMETHING DIFFERENT! Pathetic creature, who is this even for?!

twosday
we've got a two-weeker! last week I kept going "ah, I should write my Tuesdaypost", and then it was Saturday. so. ah well.
listening: back on an Astonishing Legends kick! listened to the 2 parters on bloodfalls and The Entity(tm).
Hypoxia - Thomas Giles and the album 'Pulse' that it's on.
the album 'I Will Write Your Song' by Matt Duncan. I should have listened to 'Soft Times' because the songs I have listened to that I like are both on there.
my roommate (listen, I don't live with her any more, but we share pieces of each other's souls so I am going to keep referring to her that way) also got me on these two songs that are major bops. good for Moving and Grooving.
Vois sur ton chemin techno remix by BENNETT
Pedro by Jaxomy
reading: literally so many academic papers. see the misc section.
watching: did a lot of youtube the past two weeks, just gonna post some highlights. a bunch of swell entertainment, not gonna post any one of her vids in specific.
how I reduced my screentime by 80% by reysu: something I've been grappling with is Ough, Too Much Screen, especially considering my day-to-day work is all on the computer too. did implement some of these tips, not sure how much it has helped me considering most of my screentime is on discord and messenger which I don't really want to totally disconnect myself from the same way I have on instagram/fb/etc without too much issue.
the importance of real things by Ted Kutina: I love you physical media
you can't fit your personality in an airport tray by Katie Robinson: some commentary on Style and Personality. not sure if it's just the period of time I grew up in or just something about me inherently or what but I never really had too much issue or thought with the idea of Finding My Style, I just don't buy clothes if they don't spark some joy or serve some purpose.
home organization for chaotic people by Caroline Winkler: found her channel as I overthink exactly where I want to hang up my wall art. she's an interior designer type but I was uncomfortably called out about how she talks about how she used to save every little scrap of anything that someone she loved may have touched out of a sense of guilt. I never really connected that to guilt, but, like, yeah. el oh el. made me think about some of the things I keep around and why.
fall reset guide (that'll actually help get your life together) by morgan Evelyn Cook: really loved the idea of a "morning menu" to replace the idea of a morning routine with.
youtube
youtube
youtube
playing: the biweekly dnd as usual. I have dropped the in-person game I've been playing in for now just because I am stretched too thin. I know this doesn't count but boy have I been thinking about minecraft. need her fr
making: I volunteered to do some drawings for an event my university is hosting in January that I will not be sharing on here because it will make me even more doxxable than normal. this has taken longer than I thought! I am more out of practice painting than I'd assumed so that hurted a bit, and one of the drawings was originally going to be a block print but I rapidly realized that an ink drawing would probably be easier and faster. neither of them are done yet but I have til Friday I think.
anyways I am back in pottery!!! I have made Two ramekins, Two failed ramekins that are teacups now, and a plate! I have never done a plate so that was a cool new thing to do. the real trick was to throw it on a bat and then put the bat in direct sunlight for like an hour before cutting it off.
eating: uhhhhhhh nothing notable really, lots of easy food and trader joes frozens right now because ough. oh wait I tried this bean soup that someone recommended. I forget who. it was. fine. idk it's just beans and garlic so it was just kinda underwhelming. I did get to use my immersion blender tho so that's fun. I have a different bean soup that I will hopefully make and try this week.
misc: dude writing my prelim document is SO SCARY. the introduction specifically is kicking my ass because it's like, "synthesize these papers you've read (and some of which you haven't, oops) into a coherent backstory for why the work you're doing makes sense and is important, for a field you're not technically trained in. also don't make it sound too similar to the thesis of the guy who was working on this project before you. good luck!!"
here is some astronomical happenings in The Corn. see you next week

I'm a former Lily's fan. I want to share a thought that might come in handy, I hope.
Long story short. Lily's personality so boring outside her youtube channel that I've missed a lot of drama related to her simply by not following her tumblr. I believe this prevented me and many other watchers from dropping her channel earlier. But seem like the only thing capable to scare us away if that boring personaly slips into videos (judging by mummy vid and hunter rant, it has started once again and it's even more explicit this time. Also, I do use hooktube)
For more context, my experience:
I started watching her as a teenage. Edgy energetic voice got me hooked, but what kept me were controversial yet clever takes. Her video content boosted my imagination and creativity greatly as it felt fresh for me. I tried following her tumblr to get more insights - it didn't work.
Long argumented narrative with analysis siddenly dissapeared the moment I read her posts. Short mean answers, lots of swearing out of place, nothing to proove her views, just one emotion most of time - anger. "Maybe person doesn't know how to write" I said to myself and turned away not realising "Wait a sec, if she can't write why her content so dope then?" It should've got me thinking back then, but I missed it. Even when I got to know she steals scripts from other youtubers and started unconciously search for more Lily related drama I couldn't find any.
Drama was right under my nose. It was in her blog all along. If I wasn't bored to the bones with her posts, I'd already knew about Tara, Stockgholm, Poppy&Zena, and much-much more. I could've dropped her channel earlier. Like that, Lily's recent removal of her social media links on youtube is nothing - her true shield is boredoom that kids and teenagers can't stand at all.
it seems that even without seeing her tumblr, people are already getting bored with her channels if the numbers on her videos are anything to go by.

celeb guest stars though. i like how on american dad they actually play a character and the episode is never like HEY LOOK ITS THIS FUCKIN CELEBRITY watch and give us ratings like...
there was a video on youtube that complied a bunch of celeb characters together (i can't find that vid anymore sadly??) and i didn't know about a bunch of them. partly because i just don't really Know celebrities in the first place but also because the characters were never obviously written to just be This Celebrity. except for two: the weeknd and kim kardashian. EXCEPT even then i feel like i could say they were still playing characters and not themselves xD
patton oswalt and j.k. simmons actually have multiple voice roles in this show! from like all the way back in season 2. i feel like people might only remember one role each they were in, in more recent seasons, because they talk more in those (patton was the guy in the announcer booth in kiss kiss cam cam and simmons was the buff 73 year old guy in the ep when stan tells boring stories and roger was the greek lady) but both of them played random bit characters in earlier seasons. i might go compile those later but god i'm tired
the cynical part of me says it's cause this show wasn't and probably still isn't popular enough for executives to Demand guest stars. no one is gonna get Clout from being on this show, it isn't like...impressive...? Wait what was the point of celeb guest stars again
i can't even remember if there were any ads on fox like THIS WEEK. ON AMERICAN DAD. THIS FUCKO (FROM AN 80s THING TWENTY YEARS AGO) IS GONNA DO SOME WEIRD SHIT WITH ROGER. TUNE IN AT 10PM!! i kinda remember ads for that one hot tub thing with cee lo green buuuut that's it. (and even then the ads weren't all about him, they were just about doing a musical in general lol)
#american dad#jibber jabber#like. do people know that aunt gwen is uma thurman. i didnt know that until i saw the video lmao. friggin LOVE that episode btw

tia’s CQL fanvid recs - wangxian #7
Nothing better for wangxian than some bittersweet and heartbreaking vids so here have some!
(If you want more information on the project, you can find that here.)
Please go and give some love to the videos on youtube (and to the vidders on tumblr for those for which i could find a tumblr) and leave a comment.
The Untamed – Lan Wangji & Wei Wuxian – Tether Me (FMV) by Earl Hatter Music: Tether Me - Galleaux Mood: “they’re spinning me out of control. tether me” Strength(s): different colourings for past and present, a nice use of the lyrics (“for a moment I was gone” *shot of wwx falling* I am fine) and of selected of dialogues to show their relationship and underscore the images, an editing to the beat and showing the parallels throughout the show.
--
The Untamed MV || Would you still love me? by Anabelle Music: Burn – Nathan Wagner Mood: “why can’t I trust now…not a single soul” Strength(s): So this vidder really knows how to create a story and choose the moments that both tell a devastating story and tell it in a way that feels true to the way it is devastating in the show Notes: tw images in very quick succession at one point in the video. In the words of the vidder: “I have seen plenty of videos about how much Lan Zhan and Wei Ying loves each other, that they're alway there for each other, and they can win every battle with their love. So, what about a song, when Wei Ying has doubts about that if Lan Zhan truly loves him?”
--
Wei Wuxian & Lan Wangji (WangXian) | Without You by Bright Moon Music: Without You - Ursine Vulpine & Annaca Mood: “I will watch the world burn without you” Strength(s): The edit is almost constantly on the beat and the use of the lyrics is very nicely done to tell a story about those two with parallels and memories (wwx remembering his time in cloud recesses at the same time as lwj remembering their dates). Notes: It is a very long song to vid, but contrary to some other vids with it, I did not felt like it was too long because of the story it managed to tell.
--
Wangxian || Sacrifice (The Untamed) by Mrseclipse555 (on tumblr @redxblueihateloveyou / @redxblueihateloveyou) Music: Sacrifice – Zella Day Mood: so many sacrifices, so. many. Strength(s): A deep colouring with speeding and slowing down effects to fit the beat of the music, a good use of the lyrics to tell their story! Notes: People keep putting one after the other the lotus pier golden core scene and the nightless city scene and it hurts, but also it works you know!
--
Can’t help falling in love | Wangxian but Wangji suffers (The Untamed FMV) by Polish edition Music: "Can't Help Falling in Love" Cover [DARK VERSION] (feat. brooke) - Tommee Profitt Mood: oof Strength(s): A dialogue-heavy fanvid focused on wangxian from lwj’s perspective and uh, it hurts. A selection of all of the most painful moments for lwj’s in this show and there are a lot of them. The edition of them together (lwj pointing his weapon at wwx/jgy at the temple mixed with lwj doing it at nightless city – oof) is here for maximum pain Notes: I mean the title of this one is just oof and perfect you know.

Want to be featured here? Head to this page and fill in the form!
See what this is about here, or if you’re using the app here.
What’s your fannish ID? Hello! I'm Descaladumidera on all platforms. Weirdly enough I get asked sometimes where this name stems from and the short answer is that my ex and I were just goofing around. He said this made-up word, and I ran with it. It's got a nice ring to it, it's unique, and I can shorten it to Desca.
What types of fanworks do you create? I mostly draw fanarts, as I'm a freelance artist and it's my passion and job. But I also love to write fics, even though I rarely have the spoons. Creating and sharing those creations is just a fun way to connect (and I also crave the validation, sue me). The best part is posting them and making someone's day, because they have been waiting for that particular update or just needed that kind of art right now. I experience these feelings myself when I see particular creations and I just hope I can make someone else feel that way, too.
What are your favourite types of fanworks, when you’re not creating? I just love everything that makes me feel something. Be it a particularly well-made gif-set, a fan-vid of my ship of the week, a wonderfully drawn fanart, or the fic I read before going to sleep. It's just the happiness that people with the same interests as me are out there, doing what they love, and sharing it with the world.
What do you like in particular about this fandom? My current comfort characters are Matt Murdock, Frank Castle, and Peter Parker, so I, naturally, like to see them together. Since NWH I'm deeply in the Matt & Peter pit, especially with Matt as a mentor and father figure. But I also fell in with SpideyDevil and Fratt, and my brain is very happy to see nearly anything about them.
Do you like participating in fan events? I love events! Sadly I barely have the energy or time nowadays to participate. I really hope that will change in the future.
What about your creating process? Ah, I absolutely need some kind of background noise, but it can't be music or I'll sing along instead of drawing or writing, haha! I mostly have reruns of shows in the background or some let's play on YouTube. I also use a Discord writer bot to get myself into writing more and I'm part of the Marvel Art Party Discord, which is great at motivating me. Talking to friends about what I'm planning and showing them WIPs is also a huge part of my creation process, because they are super supportive and always have a kind word for me.
Do you interact a lot with other fans? I try to! Sadly I'm pretty damn anxious, so I'm always worried I annoy others with my mere presence, but I try. In the past I did collabs with people in other fandoms, so I hope this will be something I'll be doing here as well in the future.
Is there any particular piece you'd like to showcase for this post? I just created my first Fratt art—for Pride Month nonetheless—and I absolutely love how it turned out: https://descaladumidera.tumblr.com/post/687601711844556800/the-progress-video-if-you-wanna-see-more-progress I'm also working on a longfic currently, which has Matt & Peter mentorship and also SpideyDevil (with Andrew Garfield's Peter). I just. Chucked everything I wanted to read into a NWH rewrite for my own pleasure: https://archiveofourown.org/works/37712956/chapters/94152343
Is there anything else you want to tell us about yourself? I'm a mess and a soft potato. Usually I'm friendly and like to talk to others, so if you're nice to me, I'm nice to you.
Where can your fanworks be found? You can find me on Tumblr, Twitter, Instagram, AO3, TikTok, and Patreon under @descaladumidera! I also have a Carrd that I'm currently using as my website. Discord: Descaladumidera#1395 Tumblr: https://descaladumidera.tumblr.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/descaladumidera Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/descaladumidera/ AO3: https://archiveofourown.org/users/Descaladumidera/profile TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@descaladumidera Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/descaladumidera Carrd: https://descaladumidera.carrd.co/
Thank you, @descaladumidera !

أوه ماي جاد.
My pc is updating, making coffee in one hand, scrolling in the other 📜 I come for a waltzing day, but I get cars-in-traffic horns day instead .. its not getting old, I know
I'm running out of filter feel fuel visiting the tags. I mean, there's so much more ways to express hate for him, I'm just in awe at the creativity and sad I miss the posts I actually came to see as to not chancing to read the untagged hate, but when I have the energy to do, I can be so happy for the things I find
I just want to treasure this fandom, because its the one that found a lonely soul Mani, saving me from talking to myself and 4 walls, (well typing, i still can go easily raspy squeak ball after 2 minutes-) Explosively charging my passion, actualy giving me a chance to do better art... and buy OVERALLS. (Oh yes, another very specific obsession I have, red ones, how did you gu-) and more importantly, keeping me online, my only outlet to the world and to work on commissions. Not just me, my siblings, too. As they enjoy YouTube, mutha loves Minecraft videos. Just the other week they were watching among us and I just turn for a min to see betrayal by my baby sis, having made a doll out of somebody's pillow only after watching 2 YouTube vids while I tried getting them into HP for years :"
But seriously, stopping the side tracking;
As I love Harry Potter world as a whole and Sev and his surroundings as in particular. I don't like to witness hate dishes being flung at people, because in the end, it's fiction. Meaning, it doesn't matter who's right or wrong. You can hate the character and its ships all you want ofc, I know we can't be always each other's cup of tea in opinions. But to be actively taking the time to write demeaning things in intention to hurt who loves the character, ya know, as the character themselves can't read those hurtful comments and wouldn't even flich, opposed to the real people with souls and brains and hearts can? Do knitting instead, playing with polymer clay even more satisfying for flushing that negative energy. Even make dolls, like baby sis!
I know there are constant issues surrounding HP irl, but it still remains a fantasy. A fantasy I'd love to draw more and more about because it was a happy memory in darkened times and still a drive. I don't want to be on teams even in fantasy, I want to enjoy everything
There are so much other HP sketches i started craving to spend weeks on but stopped, after remembering posting older ones, regretting posting them tbh even tho they made me at least happy. I resolve to just dedicate my time to those who actually support me with company, comments and reblogs and such
And I know its not particularly a hate problem, but other bunch combined all together
Idk what I want from this, I certainly don't want to be any inconvenience to anyone. Just know that Mani loves you💛 Hyper-can't-wait to do more Sev and HP art along side of my own stuff and enjoy each other's company 🫖🍪
Bless your days, my dears

10 Songs Tag Game
Rules: use your WIP playlist (or any playlist) and put it on shuffle (no skipping). write the first 10 songs that come up and quote your favorite lyrics from each song and/or the lyrics that fit your WIP best (they might be the same lyrics), then tag 10 people.
Thank you for the tag @druidx. I'm going to use my general Emotional songs playlist because it covers pretty much all of my writing needs. Doing this on the youtube music on the mobile so I don't mess up the playlist order I prefer on Youtube itself.
under a cut so I can save people's dashes
Pieces by Red
I'm here again A thousand miles away from you A broken mess, just scattered pieces of who I am I tried so hard Thought I could do this on my own I've lost so much along the way
This whole first verse pretty much describes Selene as she is just before To Heal a Broken Soul. She's been trying so damn hard to fix Toreguarde's problems by herself that she is almost literally breaking herself up about it.
Brother to Brother by Van Zant
Do you know where we went wrong Tell me why the lines are drawn? And let us break our bound'ries down And live our lives on common ground Oh mothers and fathers Where will tomorrow's children be? Oh brother, my brother Let us live our lives in peace
This one covers two settings really damn well. The first is when Elowyn, Merri and co are trying to stop the attacks on the Dwarven people living in Toreguarde. The second is for the current d&d campaign Lankla is a part of when the Nezumi basically said "eff you" to the hengeyokai races regarding fighting against the Iron Legion together.
The Next Right Thing from Frozen II by Kristen Bell
Can there be a day beyond this night? I don't know anymore what is true I can't find my direction, I'm all alone The only star that guided me was you How to rise from the floor When it's not you I'm rising for? Just do the next right thing Take a step, step again It is all that I can to do The next right thing
OK so I added this one because of a speculative piece I was writing about a Curse of Strahd campaign I was a part of and listening and looking at the lyrics again... This could fit far too many of my 'Main Character OCs >_>. Let's just leave it at that.
Nothing's Gonna Change my Love for You by Westlife
Nothing's gonna change my love for you You oughta know by now how much I love you One thing you can be sure of I'll never ask for more than your love
I initially had this as an Edwin/Selene song... but now that I think about it, taking it from a platonic love angle, it would seriously work for Elowyn and Merri too (though the vid that comes with this on my playlist is the second half of the UP opening sequence so... yeah ;-;)
Hand of Sorrow by Within Temptation
So many dreams were broken and so much was sacrificed Was it worth the ones we loved and had to leave behind? So many years have past, who are the noble and the wise? Will all our sins be justified?
Ok so this is mainly for @druidx's OC, Alexis, but the chorus fits pretty much all the remaining original Heroes of Toregaurde as well. They all love the city they helped to build, and yet they can't seem to escape the seeming curse upon the place (something I'm gonna be exploring in my untitled Selene series)
After the War by Reinaeiry
This is a letter To the girl I was before You'll find that destiny It's not set in stone, it's yours to own
I know how it feels right now But you'll make it through somehow Learn to take and not just give The life you have, it's yours to live
OK, I am keenly aware that this is a fan song specifically written for a particular fandom and pairing, but the verses fit Selene, A'ashe and Lankla so well it's ridiculous. The second verse more specifically. Destiny is a bitch to all three of these amazing women and all three have issues around that (to varying degrees).
Show Yourself from Frozen II
Show yourself Step into your power Grow yourself Into something new You are the one you've been waiting for All of my life (All of your life) Oh, show yourself
Another Frozen II song (don't @ me, I love the film and the music). This one I chose to put onto the list for my Nezumi bard character from a previous d&d campaign. I haven't done an intro for her yet because that campaign ended... badly for her (you try taking care of a Tarrasque when all you can do is sing pretty songs at it). However, this song encapsulates how out of place she felt in her society and with the wider world and how she slowly grew to accept herself for who she was by the time the campaign ended.
Die for You by Otherwise
I would break, I would burn, I would suffer, There's nothing I wouldn't do, do for you. I would lie, I would steal, for no other, You make me feel so alive, So alive I'd die for you!
Honestly, this one is just because I love the sentiment behind it. The closest OCs this would fit are likely Merri and her entire, dumbass found family and husband or A'ashe and her crew. Both feel very deeply about the people they care about and would happily die for them (if the people they cared about would let them!)
When Forever Comes by Miracle of Sound
When I learn of the loss that defines me Can I hold to the promise that binds me And carry on into tomorrow's sorrow? When I'm facing the ghosts of my destiny Will I turn or remain in the memory And choose to stray or choose to follow?
And when forever comes to be Will I remain inside A little light of empathy To keep you unified Keep me inside
Now this one is definitely an Edwin/Selene song! I.... might have modified the lyrics and made it a duet for the sake of a songfic at one point (I totally did, no regrets). The above section fits the latter parts of To Heal a Broken Soul so perfectly that I can still see the 'movie scenes' in my head even just looking at the lyrics typed out.
The Rose by Westlife
Some say love, it is a river That drowns the tender reed Some say love, it is a razor That leaves your soul to bleed Some say love, it is a hunger An endless aching need I say love, it is a flower And you, its only seed
Looks like we're closing out with yet another Edwin/Selene song ^_^; This one would purely be from Edwin's pov. With Edwin being a Cleric of a nature goddess, of course he would refer to love as a seed slowly blooming into a flower :P.
Alright so, tags. I think most people I would tag already have been so I am leaving this one open :P.

I like how your 3D rendering of Aziraphale looks so far but gosh he looks like a creepy yet endearing mix of a Telletubby and... some kind of doll or maybe Barney the dinosaur if you squint? Idk its super cool and he's kinda cute but a little uncanny too. Great job so far!
I've never done anything except download and open Blender once many eons ago and then almost immediately nope out of it because it was so complex and scary looking. I find it really amazing that people can create things that are 3D and they look like drawings but... kinda aren't. Idk but its just super cool to me. I used to watch some sped up YouTube vids where people made these insane and amazing creations in Blender and i was so blown away, I dont remember any channel names now but surely they're out there somewhere lol. But its been a long time so your stuff is my first recent dip back into the "awesome world of 3D creations" pool. I especially liked your Stardew farmhouse, that was so cool! Didn't you make that in Blender too? If I'm remembering correctly and you did, that's just. That's just awesome. It doesn't LOOK 3D but wow. Still so cool. It was so different from the actual game but still very easily recognizable (and its one of my favorite games and I might just about die for a Stardew AU fic lol though I haven't found one yet). It looked so nice and cozy and I loved the colors!
Anyways I can't wait to see what Az looks like when he's finished, and good luck with his hair btw, I can't even imagine how challenging that's gonna be. Best of luck to you! :)
LOL yes 3D modelling characters is basically a process of putting up with the uncanny valley until you get to the part where you start working on the textures and lighting. One of the reasons I'm not particularly interested in photorealism in 3D modelling is that it's so, so difficult to really nail character art in that style, and I don't have the time or dedication to put into it. (The other reason is that I just really like toon and stylised art.)
All of my modelling is done in Blender, but I'm not modelling the characters themselves from scratch. I'm using Daz 3D, which comes with very customisable basic human figures and a lot of built-in pose and expression controls. I can set up characters in Daz by moving sliders around, much like on a game like the Sims, and then export the model to Blender to work on the clothes, hair, texturing, etc. The results are good enough for my current purposes, though there may come a time when I need to start pushing seriously towards modelling my own figures... we'll see. I did do the Stardew farmhouse entirely in Blender though! Speaking of which...
"I might just about die for a Stardew AU fic lol though I haven't found one yet"
... OH HEY DO I HAVE NEWS FOR YOU. The reason I made that model in the first place was because of my story "Untitled Stardew Omens Fic". It is 43k of ineffable farm fluff. I hope it's what you're looking for!

Hey there dear reader!
This time I'm going to cover something that is very very close to my heart and way of living, presenting myself. You must know that I am a viking reenactor. This means that I (and the community I am part of) try to represent the way of living like the vikings did as accurate as possible, relying on written and physical sources as gravefoundings, drwawings and art. Also we go regurarely on so called "events" Where we not only live there and make a camp but also fight in an historically accurate way. For example the vikings didn't have heavy plate armour nor horned helmets or two sided battle axes as is often picturen in art. Yesterday I came home from such an event called Karpacka Troja in Poland. First of all, this was an amazing event and I can't wait to go next year. The people are very nice and kind. We had the opportunity to feast with a polish group who invited us to their part of the camp where a lot of beer wine and meat was served with delicious bread and potatoes. This may sound simple food, but when you have been fighting the whole day (at least in my case, I'll get back to this later on) it is a feast of the gods. This all was amazing and very nice and all but for me the most inportant part was the duels. Let me quickly explain how it works. We fight with steel weapons ,but they are obviously not sharp. Well you may ask isn't this dangerous? I have to say yes, but you get used to it. You have to be careful because injuries can come very easy. (Like right now I have a hard time typing, because my right hand got hit in the finals and it was right behind my leather gauntlet, right on the wrist.) We mainly have 4 tipes of weapons wich we use in combat, namely the spear, danish axe (long, two handed axe), smal axe and shield and finally the sword and shield. My main choise is sword and shield because then you can feel the thrill of the front line combat and I am not tall at all so I would have a very hard time to fight from the second line over the heads of the warriors in front of me. One more reason is since you are holding two separate things, shield and sword and both need to do different things it is a bit harder. I have years of experience in several martial arts and swordfighting so when I started of with this viking reenactment the choise was simple, sword and shield.
Fast forward a bit, this event I was introduced to a new kind of competition stile called buhurt. This is usually only practided by people who have full plate armour because of the brutality and chance on severe injury, I am not going to cover that here, you can find tons of vids on youtube, check it out if you want. (here is a link to Igor Parfentev) https://youtu.be/JFWpkWEA5xg but since I only could borrow chainmail form my captain I was a bit hesitant at the begining because the rules where not that you need to have 3 clean hits (points) but it was tied to time. The participants got one minute (+30 seconds if it ended with draw) to fight, and didn't had to stop when a point was scored. Well all I can say is this was exhausting to say at least. One minute quickly became an eternity and when I finished my first round and qualified for semi finals, I felt like I would vomit out my spine, breathing became painful to the point where I'd rader lay down and just stop moving my chestmuscles because I was to tired to breathe. This was something whole new to me, I had to push myself physically and mentaly to points I never tought I could reach. Fast forward evenmore to the last day when the finals came, We were left with 3 fighters and we were fighting for the first second and third places so I knew I am already in the top 3, but why be satisfied with third place if I can get to second or first? I won one duel and lost one to a very talented warrior who was left handed, I have no shame at all losing to him, he was better than me, he has earned it but atleast I gave him a damn hard time. Now you may ask why I put myself trough the mental and physical pain for this. The answer lies partially in the fact that every man has a warrior within, wich needs to have a place, a name, be aknowledged in some way or another. Yes this comes with pain and risk of injury but what doesn't? It helps to improve determination and confidence and strength not only for the body but also (mainly) for the mind. When you feel the weight of the armor and weapons baring down on you, and you know you can give up and lose or push yourself beyond your borders and maybe win, it is always an adventure. The other reason I do this is to get to know myself, and have an opportunity to learn how to handle pain wich will be usefull later on in my life when I am presented with challenges, and finally the third reason is simply the fact that it is just an amazing feeling to be thrown back in time and be able to fight alongside honorable warriors, shieldbrothers and friends. It can feel at times like in a story, legend, movie. You hear the clank of weapons, people shouting, the heath of the sun or the mud and rain, the exhaustion and the adrenaline flowing in your body, your hearth pounding in your throat and when the battle ends, you have a beer or a smoke with the the rest of the guys no matter on wich side you fought on. This is what I like to call, respect for every warrior, no matter why he fights, you don't have to agree with him, but at least respect him even if you are better than him.
Thanks for reading!
Have a nice day!
Harald

NN here, saw the question but I don't have the full answer. Maybe other fellow NN can jump in. I want to quote this article from hitsdailydouble "Nashville by the Numbers" dated July 11, 2016. At that time, they listed Artists Streams Year-to-Date as 1. Luke 2. FGL 3. Sam 4. Taylor (wtf) 5. Thomas 6. Eric 7. Zac 8. Blake and B's number was a mile away from Luke's, just a bit more than half. Unfortunately I can't find a similar list and numbers for 2017 for comparison. Hope that helps.
(continued) I do think however B’s newer songs don’t always leap out in being a streaming giant because B has a LOT of older songs which are already loved and being streamed on the regular. Reloaded is still a regular entry in BB Top Country Albums which counts sales+streaming. Its there even when IIH is not!
So you might think when you look at INTD that B’s streaming is poor. It is, for INTD as a standalone, but when you add up streaming for all his other songs, B isn’t as bad as you think.
OK second part of question. I wont include youtube because I find youtube is negligible until/unless a proper music vid is released and rn only INTD has one. I wont count the throwbacks, still small numbers for those. Just by Spotify, the top 5 streams (apart from INTD and ILI) are the first 5 tracks off the album. This isn’t a coincidence, I think its because many people just listen to the first few songs when they first check out a new album. Of these Money is a mile ahead with 1.5M streams, Why Me is second with 802,143 and At The House is third 763,969.
To be honest this totally jives with what I’ve been seeing on SM. Pulse and roughstock thought ATH would make a good summer song, and B himself likes WM. Money is too polarizing, like BRH. I hope B doesn't try that again. My personal favs happen to be the LEAST streamed, TShirt 418,090 and The Wave 462,734. I love the lyrics as well as the melody, obviously not the popular opinion lol. #NumberNerd
Any answer is helpful NN :) appreciate you and glad you saw the NN signal :P
I still amazes me how Reloaded is a staple on the charts with not much promo at all.
LOVE that Why Me is getting love as it’s one of my fav.
Might you have the numbers for Turning Me On?
Thanks for being the voice of reason with numbers
ETA: next time, I will be more patient and wait for your multiple posts NN lol
