Adam and Lucifer with a child’s entertainer!gn!reader as Lover headcanons!!
Warnings: None really but Readers in a group of entertainers inspired by the wiggles so I’m just calling the group “Whimsy Wonders” to keep it
simple.
Adam first! (Get it bc he’s the first man-)
Tumblr media
When he found out that you were in that wiggles rip off of a music group he was lowkey surprised and found it HILARIOUS.
The group name did NOT help in the long run.
“The fuck kind of name is Whimsy Wonders?!” Adam’s laughter rang out as he had a hand on his forehead. You were mildly offended and a bit, “Hey, I didn’t choose the name! I’m just working in the group!” You say, Crossing your arms with a pout. “What’s your groups main song? Wait- wait lemme guess!”
You really had to hold back the urge to just walk away from Adam, He hated when you would do that.
Although he may tease you about it, he’s very supportive of your work and helps you get ready before showtime.
“You can do it babe! Show those crotch goblins a real fuckin’ show!” Adam cheered as you put on your signature (f/c) shirt. “Adam, just call them kids. They’re wonderful anyways, they’re angels.” You say as you reach for your ear piece. “Don’t even think about it.” You quickly scolded as Adam quickly put his hand back. Damn how did you always know when he’d try to slap your ass??
Overall he’d tease but still let you have fun, and hey at least you could handle kids.
He wasn’t trusted with babysitting. Or anything with kids really.
——
Now Lucifer!
Tumblr media
Now Lucifer on the other hand, He knows the struggle of having a kid and you performing for hundreds of them as a regular thing is probably one of the many things he adores about you.
He’d definitely watch you and group rehearse and probably have all the songs memorized.
“Hear the drumbeat.. Hear the guitar.. when you dance this way. you do the shimmy shake..” Lucifer mumbled as he was working on a rubber duck, One of the Whimsy Wonders DVDs running on the dvd player in the background, One of Lucifer’s favorites. “Shimmy Shake” he honestly know how it was his favorite. It was just stuck in his head. Tapping his foot to the melody under the beat, Charlie was walking by her father’s bedroom and soon heard the music. “What the-?” She mumbled coming to stop in front of the door. “Isn’t that the Whimsy Wonders?” Charlie thought, Hm. She didn’t know how often Lucifer would listen to this kids band. “Hey dad, can I come in?” Charlie asked with a knock on the door. That knock snapped Lucifer out of his little work induced trance.
Oh fuck someone heard the music–
Lucifer wasn’t embrassed that he was dating a children’s entertainer, but he was embarrassed to seen listening to a kids band music.
Damn that song was stupidly catchy.
You told Lucifer that it was genuinely okay to like any kinds of music, no matter the age demographic.
He dotes on you before showtime early single performance bringing you Lunch after your performance. Helping you get ready to perform, making sure your guitar was ready.
“Luci.. Everything is fine, Showtime is in 20! I have time to sit and not rush.” You try to say as Lucifer was helping you get ready. Making sure your shirt was adjusted for the dozen time. “I-I know that.. I just want you to look your best for those kids..” He mumbled his hand reaching up to hold your cheek. “There’s kids out there who idolize you and.. I just want you to look amazing.” Lucifer added as your gaze softens. “Lucifer.. Everything is gonna be fine. Kids barely care about appearances. But I care about you and your worrying–” You then say before voice over the speaker rang out.
“Showtime is in 2 minutes!”
“Shit! Love you Luci.” You quickly plant a kiss on his lips, Lucifer wish the kiss would linger but it didn’t it was over as quickly as it started.
He couldn’t wait until the show was over.
——
Woah Lucifer’s got a little sad but hey it’s just something short.
Constructive criticism is welcomed!’

now that we’ve been sitting on it for four months i need to rank the tortured poets department for real… it means nothing to rank an album two days after it comes out like that’s pointless fr let’s take this seriously
guilty as sin. this is an insane song. unfortunately i read a book the week this album came out and this song is permanently attached to that book in a small part but as we all know i did my absolute best to remain chill neutral and only weird about tsc at the time of this album drop so it all balanced out in the end and none of the songs are particularly associated with anything cringe. except two. but not this one i only brought up the book because it’s a little bit associated. you understand. the song is a slay of epic proportions on its own of course. i’ve mentally made this one about so many fictional guys it’s crazy… we have fun huh
my boy only breaks his favorite toys. this one was my instant favorite she’s not going anywhereeeee
but daddy i love him. some people don’t understand it but i do… i love her…
the alchemy. honestly? who are we to fight the alchemy…. literally!!!!
the albatross. sort of like who’s afraid of little old me if it was a song i liked more!
so high school. what more is there to say than truth dare spin bottles you know how to ball i know aristotle brand new full throttle touch me while your bros play grand theft auto it’s true swear scouts honor you knew what you wanted and boy you got her brand new full throttle you already know babe…
florida. cunty! florence + the machine!
the black dog. aforementioned two songs. well we knew this would be one. like we knew that the whole time. what could i possibly have done to save this one… genuinely what could i possibly have done. we saved the album in time i know but i mean. we all knew this track was a goner. nothing to be done. it’s a great song though like genuinely let’s be honest… one out of 31 is a great ratio. april 18th me was expecting a much worse percentage tbh
down bad. i just like it :)
who’s afraid of little old me. mildly over saturated. but kinda deserved the hype she slays
fresh out the slammer. one of aforementioned two songs that kinda got ruined. this song is about cbs drama fire country forever there’s nothing to be done. it’s not a huge loss this song is a little mid if i’m being honest. i think it’s too short i don’t fuck with it heavily
fortnight. my husband is cheating!! i wanna kill him!!!!
the prophecy. song that makes you cry…
the smallest man who ever lived. crazy ass bridge. rest of the song. well.
i can fix him (no really i can). i like that this song title is formatted like a fanfiction title that’s a lyric to a taylor swift song…
imgonnagetyouback. like. cute fun song sure yes. cannot get it out of my head that me personally if i had asked for writing credits from olivia rodrigo on a song that sounded nothing like my song, i personally would not have released this. me personally…
how did it end. crazy song that makes you go damn her life suckssss for real… yikes!
i can do it with a broken heart. not even a bad song it’s just the popular one with swifties and i hear it all the time without my consent.
the tortured poets department. can i be honest. sometimes taylor swift writes songs that would be awesome if not for one utterly batshit ridiculous lyric that embarrasses me so bad i can’t even fuck with the song. this has happened many times she’s an embarrassing celebrity to like everyone knows this. it’s not even the “you smoked then ate seven bars of chocolate we declared charlie puth should be a bigger artist” that’s actually fine. it’s what comes directly after that. “i scratch your head you fall asleep like a tattooed golden retriever” taylor. 😐 i can’t. i can’t even talk about this actually. also i can’t stand the lucy dacus and jack antonoff name drop lyrics at all like taylor please stop embarrassing me….
i do not actively listen to any of the other ones anymore so i just didn’t include them because why would i rank songs i don’t even listen to let’s take this seriously… they’re fine. the only one i might describe as a song i actively dislike is chloe or sam or sophia or marcus. like i do not care for that one at all

Fine! Here is the fic I promised. I really hope you like it. I tried something new here. That's why it took some time.
Now stop bothering me for the meantime about fics. I posted this and I hope you'll be happy with it.
Takes two visuals to make this. I don't regret this tho.
Tumblr media
A guy sits there in class just barely listening to the lecture. Even with his second cup of coffee, the lecture has been so boring that a nap is tempting. But he still goes on and stays awake. His grades for this class haven’t been very good recently and since this is a pre-requisite. Failing isn’t an option.
“Okay, that’s all for today.” The lecturer says as she dismisses the class.
All the students start to pack up and leave the hall but the guy is still there stumbling with his notes. The prof is still down there at the front getting ready to leave. He rushes to her for a few more questions before heading out.
“Ma’am. I have a few questions about the lesson. Is it alright if I can ask?”
“Sure, Haneul.”
“Uhh, one of the topics was about physical attraction. How does someone know if they are physically attractive?”
“You mean if a girl is pretty?”
“Oh no, I mean how do I know if they are attracted to me?”
“That sounds more like dating advice. But their pupils dilate when they look at you, they blush when you are around, and they are more expressive when you are there.”
“Aaaah, I see.”
Suddenly a voice behind shouts. “Haneul, are you there?” It’s Minju. An acquaintance. Their bond has been slowly growing closer ever since they met last month from that small interaction in PE class together.
“That is an example of someone who is physically attracted to you. You see her body language.”
“No ma’am that’s impossible. We barely know each other.”
“Well if you don’t take my advice then what I can do. Anyway, good luck.”
“Thanks, Ma’am see you, next class.”
“Bye.”
As soon as the teacher leaves, Minju runs up and hugs Haneul. She snuggles up to his chest as looks up to him. He rolls his eyes away from Minju and pushes her away.
“Minju, what now?”
“Nothing I just like to meet my boy- I mean friend. Wanna have lunch?”
Haneul looks at his watch. There is a good ninety-minute window before the next class. “Sure.”
Minju jumps in joy. “Yay! Let’s go to my favorite tteokbokki place.” She links her arms to Haneul’s and drags him with her.
Haneul just follows blissful of her real intentions.
The restaurant is only a short walk from the university. But once they get there Minju pulls him with her and makes Haneul sit down beside her.

The doors of the train open. You get into its almost empty cabin. However, only a couple of seats are available. Sitting down in one of them, you relax. It has been a long day for you. Wake up at 6 am and go directly to work. You have been busy ever since. But finally, you can go home and rest.
You pull out your earphones, struggling to untangle them, making sure that no cable is intertwined. As you plug it in, the next stop arrives. Even more, people enter. Finally, all the seats are now occupied. A girl sits next to you. Not much to care about. She just gives you your space, and you give her hers.
Pulling out your phone, you open your music player app and select from the ripped songs you got from the albums.
*Play*
It is your favorite group’s debut song La Vie En Rose. You bop your head a couple of times as the song play and occasionally look down at the album art since it is filled with 12 pretty girls.
-ireon neukkimeun satangboda deo (satangboda deo)
naega neukkineun dalkomhamcheoreom
You can feel a tap on your shoulder and ignore it for a second, thinking it is just a mistake.
kkeullimyeon ikkeullyeo Na na now
baro jigeum Na na now
I don’t wanna make it blue
Suddenly your earphones get removed from your ear.
In a whisper
mandeureobwa neoye La Vie en Rose
You look to your left, and there she is Miyawaki Sakura. You almost scream in delight. But she puts your hand to cover your mouth.
“Be quiet. I don’t want everyone to know. I’m here.” She jokingly says.
You sit there speechless, unknowing what to do.
She whispers into your ear again. So closer, you can hear her breath.
Eyes on me. The moment we become one, everyone pays attention.
You pause for a second and pull out something from your bag. “Can you sign my album?” you ask.
Sakura chuckles for a bit. “Sure. Sure.” She pops off the cap of the sharpie and signs on the cover.
“Can you put Saranghae?” you request
She blushes and responds, “Sure. No problem.”
Sakura hands over the album and smiles.
You are ecstatic; seeing a member of your favorite K-pop group is fantastic. But you ponder, “Sakura, why are you at the subway?”
“I’m just going to meet some of the members at a café. Oh, wait!” she stops and calls someone on her phone. Then she comes back. “Do you want to join us?”

Ummm actually a request sent thru my dms. So you can still request there.
Finally my Irene fic is released. Dont expect me to do a lot of Irene or Red velvet. I just did this cause ya'll made me horny for her.
Tumblr media
You stand there, tapping your foot and waiting for the plane to arrive. This is the late March of 2018. North Korea and South Korea decided to do a cultural exchange. First, North Korea sent a delegation to perform during the 2018 Winter Olympics. Now South Korea is sending a delegation to perform in North Korea. This is a momentous occasion between the two countries but to your dismay.
You have always hated the South and its allies from all your education when growing up. You have always blamed them for all the wrongful things happening in North Korea. Or at least that is what you are told. But recently, with your position in the government, you get to see what it is like on the other side of the fence and see how other countries are doing.
But now you have your task, managing the South Korean delegation. You might not be the best person in terms of liking them, but you know how to manage large groups of people.
“Boss.” Your assistant calls your attention. “The plane is here.”
You can see the rush of photographers and our journalists that were allowed to the country to document the event. They line up to the gate behind the barrier to take pictures of the incoming artist. You and the security personnel move forward and try to separate the photographers from the gate. All of you create a path between the door and the open area where a small ceremony will happen.
You stand back to your assistant.
“Boss. Here they come.” The gate agent opens the door and thru the small red carpet ready for South Koreans. You form a small fist as they enter. But that first slowly losses when you see a girl. A beautiful girl with white skin, a nice breast, and a great ass.
“Who is that?”
“Her? I think she is….” Your assistant flies thru the different files of the guest. “…. Irene from… Red Velvet.”
Irene…Red Velvet?
Your mindset completely changed. You can never imagine such a beauty, even in the North. Her eyes gaze at you for a second. She can tell your heart skips a beat, but you remain calm and collected.
You direct the guest to the small stage where the Supreme Leader, Kim Jong-un, welcomes them. There are handshakes, pictures taken, and all the formalities of a world leader welcoming their guest.
Finally, you lead the guest to the busses where they’ll be taken to the hotel. But before you can do much. The four Red Velvet girls who came to North Korea approach you and playfully grab your attention when they board the bus. First with a wink, then ending with a flying kiss.
Now it is more difficult for you to stay composed. They look at you and chuckle as epically Irene, who started everything.
~~
You bring all the guests to the hotel and check them in and yourself and your staff. From the tiring morning, you finally got some rest before lunch. You look at the pictures that you could get from the photographers. Each one of them is all on Irene. Her beautiful face then her entire body with perfect proportions. A small rage goes in you when Kim Jong-un shakes her hand. But you have to let it go since he is your boss and well, he is only there to welcome them. But then you finally found the perfect picture with her perfect figure.
Slowly you do feel a bulge grow in your pants. You can feel it become warm. You check your watch, then check the door.
I have time.
You jump to bed, remove your pants and underwear, and “relieve” yourself from all the tension you have from seeing Irene. You imagine her naked with you. Her hand is stroking your long cock, and her breast is on your face.
~~
You step into the large concert hall with your assistant in hand. Your job is done so far. There isn’t much to do until the end of the performance. Now you can just sit back and relax and watch the show.
It goes on excellent. You get surprised at how much you enjoyed it. Each artist makes you tap your feet. But you have to keep that to a minimum to make sure you don’t attract any attention. You just have to sit there quietly and observe like everyone else in the crowd.
But suddenly, you get to see Red Velvet, particularly Irene. She may be wearing pants and a long sleeve, but you can still see her accentuated curves.
You can refeel the hardness down below grows again. The feeling radiates around your crotch. It isn’t helped by the fact you are rubbing around it, and you can defiantly feel the pre-cum spreading on your underwear.

Part Two: Eunbi's Dinner
Part Four: The Storm Before the Calm
Thanks @iznsfw the advice.
Tumblr media
“Ming? Mingi? Mingi!”
You suddenly wake up from your desk with your vision covered by twinkling lights ,as you try to regain your vision by rubbing your eyes.
“Can you tell me when the United Nations was founded?”
Being slightly disorientated, you try to scan around to see any hints on what is happening in class.
“Sorry, ma’am, but can you repeat the question?”
“I asked when did the United Nations was founded? If you paid attention in class, I would not be repeating this.”
“The United Nations was founded on October 24, 1945, in San Francisco, California when the UN security council (which included the US, UK, fmr. USSR, the Republic of China and France) and 24 other nations ratified the Charter.”
“Ummm- that is correct. Moving on.”
You sit back down and go back to sleep, using your jacket as a pillow.
This is supposed to be your second year in university. However, you flunked World History, not because it is your fault but because you and your teacher had countless political arguments about historical facts and opinions. He failed you out of spite. You tried pointing out to the vice dean, and you got your revenge. Despite his tenure, he was fired from his position, and you got your smug face as he left.
However, you must still retake the subject to get your grade. No big deal, just overload yourself this term to finish this G.E. Anyway, you practically should know all the topics at this point.
“I’ll now announce your first major requirement. I need you to group yourselves into pairs.”
The entire classroom starts pairing up with each other. Being the only Sophomore in class, you aren’t familiar with anyone. Sooner or later, you are alone by yourself in class without a partner.
Raising your hand, you shout from the back, “Teacher, can I work alone? I can’t find anyone.”
“Hmmm, it is impossible. The class roster is an even number.” She ponders for a second. “Is there anyone else who does not have a partner?”
Suddenly, a hand pops out of nowhere in the middle of the crowd. “Me.”
Scooting over towards the voice, you get to glimpse an innocent girl with long flowing almond hair. Once meeting her, you extend your hand to try to introduce yourself, “Hello, my name is Mingi? Yours?”
“I’m Minju.” She quickly straightens her back, putting her hands on top of each other on her desk.
“So, I guess we’re working together.” You sit beside this blushing, innocent, pretty girl.
The teacher quickly reads aloud the instructions, gives out the project's rubrics, then dismisses the class early to give everyone time to brainstorm ideas.
“Do you want to move to the library to talk about the project?” You suggest to Minju.
“Mhmm,” She nods and agrees to the idea.
As you both pack your belongings heading to the library, you notice that Minju seems to be very nervous around you. Her slight fidgeting made you assist her with her books, and she tries to avoid eye contact as much as possible on the way there. But you take notice of her behavior but don’t think much of it.

Sunbae the tutor

Word Count: 3.1k
I'm back. Here is my first fic after my break. You forced me to write this so I expect you to like this. I'm sorry for my purejuers. The next Minju fic will be full of pureju. I promise.
Tumblr media
Ugh. I don’t get this.
“Okay, Class. That’s it for today.”
You sigh again. It is yet another day when you still have not grasped the topics you have for your class. After trying countless nights reviewing and studying again and again and again. Your empty brain still has not soaked a single bit of information. Anyway, it is a long day. One more activity before heading home is your home org meeting.
This meeting is more of a party. An excuse for your Sunbaes to meet their Hoobaes. But since it was held on school grounds, no alcohol. But it is time for you to relax and unwind. It is time for you to get rid of the feeling of your everyday mundane routine.
“Hey!” Your friend calls you. “Long day?”
Your tired faces show it. You have huge eye bags, your hair is not in its best shape, and wearing the same sweatpants and a shirt from yesterday.
“Yeah…Classes have been killing me.”
“Yeah, I can tell. Are you still having trouble with that subject you have been talking about?”
“Oh my fucking god. I still can’t understand anything. Everything is way too complicated and the prof is speaking way too fast.” You shout
“Dude relax. You should calm down.”
“I can’t. That’s the only thing on my mind right now.”
“Okay if you really need. Try to get help. A tutor maybe?”
“I can’t. My parents cannot afford something like that.”
“You can ask our Sunbae. I did it for calculus. They’re really smart.”
“Really they can help?”
“They are more than willing. It’s part of their job.”
You scan around. Most people are just talking with their cliques. Suddenly, you get a sudden arm around your shoulder.
“Hey!” It is the Org president. “You guys doing good?”
“Yeah! Party— I mean meeting is going good.”
“That’s great to hear. Don’t forget to fill out the feedback forms before you leave. We really appreciate your thought on what we did tonight.”
He double-pats your shoulder as he leaves. But before he can get away, you grab his wrist. “Sunbae”
“Yeah?”
“I need help with one of my subjects. Is it alright if you can tutor me?”
“Hmmm…. Ah! I can’t but I know someone who can. Follow me.”
He leads you across the room.

Day #1 | A Day With Firecracker!
09/27/2023 | 1:31 a.m.
(01/60) [“it’s all okay…” Poem Collective]
Hello, Skye here! Today I’ll be looking through and writing about my poem, Firecracker! The first of 60 poems in the “it’s all okay…” collective, it is a poem about the beauty of love and life.
Connection to Topic: Fire
The first two poems of this very large collection are largely inspired by the flame; a temporary but powerful thing. That which warms our nights and cooks our food, but has the power to burn it all away. It is a powerful, raw instrument; fire. And yet it is no more everlasting than the blink of an eye, for any moment, it could vanish as quickly as it appeared.
Inspiration/Memory’s: Firecrackers
While I have held a firecracker in my hand before, the thought never occurred to me in those small moments, but rather much later, when the connection was made in my life. I was always mesmerized by the quiet yet loud beauty of a firecracker; small enough to hold in your hand.
Meaning: Limited Time, Preciousness of Life
The poem is mainly inspired by the limited time in which a flame, a spark will burn; so similar to that of a human life. We have only a limited time to love each other, to understand and learn from those who mean the world to us. And yet, that very time limit that is placed upon a life is what gives it all meaning. If a human life were infinite, if we could experience everything, there wouldn’t be as much weight to all the things we say and do. The fact that we deliberately chose to spend time with someone, that we take the time to get to know them, and then when the time is right, choose to live with them for the rest of our limited but beautiful lives, all of this part of the human condition is a wonderful thing that should be celebrated.
Parts of Interest:
“But like a firecracker I know
Even your divinity is not eternal.
With every breath and every laugh,
We come closer to an inevitable end.”
The idea here is simple; no matter how beautiful every moment of our life is, how perfect, it is still another step, another second towards the end of our lives. Death is an inevitable, crushing deadline, one that cannot be escaped by anyone, or anything.
“If today the world were to end
Would I want to be anywhere but in your hands?
If life were to once again begin anew
Would I want to be with anyone but you?
If where it all ends lies right at the horizon
What fault in our stars would coerce my love?
But for the infinitesimal reasons that are not my own;
I would love you, even to the last moment.
And so if everything ends now,
What other than your smile
Was ever worth living for?”
There’s a lot going on here but the premise is simple; even if it all came to an end, even if the world did stop turning, I wouldn’t stop loving you, I’d keep living and fighting and I would appreciate you even more because I would know that my last moments with you would hold that much more weight. It is what I hope is, a powerful end to an otherwise calm and peaceful read on the power of love and its triumph over love.
Dedication:
The poem isn’t dedicated to any one person, but rather all my friends, and loved ones, and family; it’s a big love letter to the world really. And it’s also a letter of hope; don’t be afraid of loving and living even if death seems omnipresent, simply live today to its fullest, and enjoy every second of company with your loved ones.
Final Words:
Not my favorite poems of this collection by a long shot, but definitely one with a lot of feeling and emotion behind it. It’s a raw exploration of life, love, and its interaction with the final barrier.
Personal Rating: 5/10

Firecracker
A firecracker dances,
Sings me it’s sad little song.
I listen closely, silently,
To see what it has to say.
When the world is so fragile;
What does it mean to listen?
To hear what you say?
Sitting at the edge of the world
With nothing left to experience.
Nothing more than a dream long dead,
Beginning at the end of your sigh.
Look at what you’ve done,
What you’ve made in me.
A hero, a lover; bowing down to you…
Listen to my words;
And hear my slowing breath.
Don’t lie at all,
Because I know what you think.
Speak into my soul,
Warm me with your words.
Make me feel like the only person to you.
You laugh when I smile, and I smile when you laugh.
And my heart positively breaks in two,
Every time I see your glowing face.
Don’t you see the power you hold over me?
And I believe there’s something new,
Something lying beyond,
About to burst, explode…
And it begins with this moment…
And a firecracker lights up your face,
It sings me a song.
It’s one that has your name,
One that flutters like a firecrackers breath.
But like a firecracker I know
Even your divinity is not eternal.
With every breath and every laugh,
We come closer to an inevitable end.
And when everything is so momentary,
When everything lasts but moments at a time.
What is there to live for,
Other than the magic of your world?
And if everything ends this moment…?
If today the world were to end
Would I want to be anywhere but in your hands?
If life were to once again begin anew
Would I want to be with anyone but you?
If where it all ends lies right at the horizon
What fault in our stars would coerce my love?
But for the infinitesimal reasons that are not my own;
I would love you, even to the last moment.
And so if everything ends now,
What other than your smile
Was ever worth living for?
Next up is: incandescent !

GET TO KNOW THE MUN.
respond to the prompts out of character!
what made you pick up the current muse(s) you have? The answer, as ever, is brainrot. I fell down the danmei rabbit hole after getting the MDZS manhua and am to blame for dragging frexiasought down with me, but it's her who convinced me to make the blog and try writing some of my favourites. That said, I still want to write fanfiction with them too.
is there anything you don’t like to write? Character or ship bashing. I'll never enjoy reading it, and I refuse to write it. Obviously some characters are antagonists, but I'm so tired of Jiang Cheng bashing and Lan Xichen or Lan Qiren bashing. I didn't leave the FE community just to see the same things here.
is there anything you really enjoy writing? Maybe it's because I'm an old woman, but recently I've come to LOVE family content. Mu Qing's style of running his Palace is based on sect culture but also on that. And in general I just LOVE good sibling dynamics.
how do you come up with headcanons? Primarily brainwaves. Typically I bounce these brainwaves off of my notes app or Eva before I finalise them, but there's no telling what prompts some of those. They might come while I'm reading/watching, but also out of the blue while I'm working or showering. I do, however, also have a history of reading fanfics, spotting headcanons or portrayals I enjoy, and stealing them for myself (often with a bit of readjusting to better fit my own purposes). I'm not proud of stealing, and I try to credit the og fics if it applies, but I'm not above admitting it. 
do you write in silence or do you play music? I tend to have speedruns open at all times when I'm home, so I listen to that. Otherwise I typically have music going, though I usually can't sit still when listening to music. I detest silence, though.
do you plan your replies or wing them? I typically wing them. Usually I'll have an idea of how to respond when I first see the post/ask I'm responding to, but as to how I execute that thought and add to it, that's winged. Wung?
do you enjoy shipping? Recently I've come to enjoy more platonic relationships more, but I will always be a shipping whore. I think that my aromantic ass lives vicariously through fictional characters.
what’s your alias/name? BP!
age? I just turned 31 this year and I feel like a relic of an ancient civilisation.
birthday? Mid February.
favorite color? Red and black, judging from my warhammer armies.
favorite song? I go back and forth. Wuji (XiaoZhan and WangYibo version) is very high up there atm though.
last movie you watched? Kingsman. My brother insisted I had to, as a self-respecting Bachelor of English Literature, and he was right.
last show you watched?  I'm actually in the middle of watching the Untamed with Eva! It's a lot better than I expected, the actors very clearly understood the characters they're portraying.
last song you listened to? According to my youtube history, something from the Golden Sun Dark Dawn OST.
favorite food? I would commit a crime for the asian-inspired soups from a local noodle joint.
favorite season? Cranky old woman doesn't like any season. I go from hay fever season into cold season. I'd say autumn, but the cycling roads get super dangerous and the low-hanging sun blinds me. So probably summer, outside of heatwave time, bc both school and work tend to settle down around that time.
do you have a tumblr best friend? Pep and Eva for sure!

Eurovision 2023 - My ranking
Phew, I had to rush to whip up this ranking before @docholligay ’s two-day event. (Starting tomorrow! Don’t miss it!!)
I based my ranking on the stage performances when available, as I think they are closer to the final products. Let's do this!
37. Denmark - Reiley - Breaking My Heart
Are 12-year-olds allowed in the adults’ competition now? Baby-faced cutie pie got his heart broken by his meanie girlfriend. Never mind the kid’s heart, the excessive use of autotune and choppy chorus is breaking my brain 😖. Last place due to sheer auditory discomfort.
36. Ireland - Wild Youth - We Are One
We’re all different but we all live together and ain’t that beautiful blah blah blah. So trite. A snoozefest. (But we're wearing masks! Isn't that cool? No. Not nearly as cool as last year's space wolves.)
35. Romania - Theodor Andrei - D.G.T. (Off and On)
Skin on stage. I think if you feel the need to put largely-naked dancers on stage as ‘entertainment’ for the audience, it doesn’t speak well of the quality of your song.
34. San Marino - Piqued Jacks - Like an Animal
Menagerie on the dancefloor, or man woos his ladylove with such enticing lyrics as “I can smell you like an animal” – classy. C’mon, baby, let’s romp in the zoo. 🐍🦋🐒🐘🐫🦌🐙🦤
33. Poland - Blanka - Solo
High school girl clique strives to imitate trendy American pop idols – and fails spectacularly due to lack of vocal or dancing talent (the national final performance is particularly painful to watch and listen to).
32. Georgia - Iru - Echo
I have two working theories here: either the song actually means something in Georgian and they used a machine translator that turned it into nonsensical English; or they picked random words in a dictionary and vaguely connected them in a semblance of sentences.
31. Serbia - Luke Black - Samo mi se spava
A tormented lock-in gamer’s anguish about the scary world outside. The staging is just as jumbled and jarring as the electro sounds.
30. Israel - Noa Kirel - Unicorn
This song is about harnessing the power of a unicorn, which apparently entails heavy use of autotune, acrobatic dance moves, and transformation into a centaur (the music video producers really need to shape up on their mythical creatures).
29. Lithuania - Monika Linkyté - Stay
This song about overcoming difficulties doesn’t have much for itself. The mantra repeated during the chorus gets quickly annoying. The lady singer looks very sweet and earnest, though.
28. Switzerland - Remo Forrer - Watergun
Young man has a grand realization and acknowledges that real war is nothing like playing pretend as a kid. Well duh.
27. Cyprus - Andrew Lambrou - Break a Broken Heart
Poor guy got dumped by mean girlfriend and is sad 😢. But worry not, he will overcome this hardship because “you can’t break a broken heart.” That’s about as deep as the lyrics go.
26. Greece - Victor Vernicos - What They Say
Self-pitying guy hates everything and himself. Don’t listen to this one if you’re already feeling low. There’s a real tonal shift between the downright depressing lyrics and the rather upbeat tempo. Also, throughout the music video, my main thought is that I want to give the guy an umbrella and a plumber’s contact details to save his flooded sitting room. ☔
25. Latvia - Sudden Lights - Aija
Indie rock band aims to soothe his weary listeners’ hearts who ache from being confronted to the big bad world out there. (And apparently, based on the music video, the main singer gets drowned by his followers for his efforts.) Sleep-inducing, which, admittedly, is the whole point of the song.
24. Slovenia - Joker Out - Carpe Diem
Group of young people dances all night long to forget about their everyday’s boring routine. The song does a good job translating daytime dreariness into music, but the chorus is too one-tone to convey night-time exuberance. Generally boring.
23. Netherlands - Mia Nicolai & Dion Cooper - Burning Daylight
Existential angst about screwing up and rising again. Since this is a male and female duo, I think they could have done something much more interesting with both of their voices by giving them different melodic lines that would complement each other instead of having them sing either individually or in unison. A missed opportunity.
22. Iceland - Diljà - Power
If ESC 2022 was the year of heartbreak, 2023 is the year of toxic relationships – this is the third song on this theme (after Denmark and Cyprus, and we can also add the UK). This one is kind of underwhelming at first, but does pick up power over time. Singer is cute as a button and has a nice energy on stage.
21. Armenia - Brunette - Future Lover
Sweet little girl makes a wishlist about what she’d like in a future boyfriend. The song starts off sweet and cute, then picks up pace in the middle, but the chorus is incredibly repetitive.
20. Azerbaijan - TuralTuranX - Tell Me More
A song about the importance of communication in a relationship. Evidently a worthy aim. For which we needed to resurrect the Beatles, interspersed with rap segments. The trouble is that the resurrected Beatle keeps asking his BF to share his feelings while saying nothing about his own, and though his rapper boyfriend does express himself, I fail to understand what his actual feelings are. Not so great communication after all.
19. Austria - Teya & Salena - Who the Hell is Edgar?
Satiric critique of the music industry. The chaotic energy is strong in this one. Fun, though.
18. Albania - Albina & Familja Kelmendi - Duje
Distraught daughter laments the loss of family time caused by the vagaries of modern life. Said daughter’s family perform as backup singers on stage. Heavens, Albina is SO dramatic, she would rip her heart out on stage and offer it to us still pulsing and bleeding if she could. Meanwhile, some of the accompanying family members look vaguely uncomfortable, like they’re wondering what they’re doing there. Rather hilarious on the whole.
17. Croatia - Let 3 - Mama ŠČ!
PUTIN EAT MY A** TRAAAKKKTOOORRRRR. Charlie Chaplin’s The Dictator meets the Village People. It’s a whole thing.
16. Czechia - Vesna - My Sister’s Crown
Woman empowerment anthem. I’m really curious what the staging will be like for this one.
15. Belgium - Gustaph - Because of You
LGBTQ+ inspirational anthem put to 1990s retro sounds.
14. Malta - The Busker - Dance (Our Own Party)
Kid who’s uncomfortable with noise and crowds leaves large venue to continue the party with a select few friends in a more comfortable setting (honestly, that’s me). Sax-heavy jazzy/funky tunes. They’re doing some interesting stuff with the staging, using props a little bit like a theatre play.
13. Moldova - Pasha Parfeny - Soarele și luna
Local shaman is planning his wedding to his destined bride, blessed by the sun and moon – all very mystical. Between the chanting women and the ethnic flute, it’s difficult not to see this as a mix of France’s and Ukraine’s entries from last year, although this is hardly the only number inspired by folklore over the years.
12. United Kingdom - Mae Muller - I Wrote a Song
Young woman who was wronged by a dirty cheater redirects her energy towards a creative outlet instead of giving in to her negative and destructive feelings. Fun and peppy britpop.
11. Finland - Käärijä - Cha Cha Cha
Crazy person on a boxing ring invites you to a night of boozing and getting smashed. Did I mention the crazy? This song is a terrible influence: the more I listen to it, THE MORE IT GROWS ON ME, SEND HELP!
10. Germany - Lord of the Lost - Blood & Glitter
Glam metal rock band sings about the multifaceted nature of humankind. Or something. This is absolutely not the kind of music that appeals to me, and yet I can recognise that the song has its merits – it’s not all one-tone loudness, and the singer has a nice voice when he deigns to sing rather than screech.
9. Ukraine - Tvorchi - Heart of Steel
Unsurprisingly, Ukraine sings about resisting in the face of adversity. Honestly I would have been happier with Ukraine winning last year with this song instead of Stefania. The Ukrainian lyrics look like they’ve been thrown in like an afterthought though. The staging uses some interesting visuals, although the crossed-out nuclear symbols are very much on the nose; I’m sure there would be a way to convey the same idea more elegantly.
8. Australia - Voyager - Promise
Australia invites you to go out and explore the world. They’re not trying to out-eurovision everyone else with grandiose performances this year and it’s working out for them.
7. Estonia - Alika - Bridges
The lady can sing. Self-reflexion is good for the soul, says the lady. The song starts soft and ends up strong, with some changes in pacing in-between. I like the melodic line, particularly in the lower registers, as well as the “round and round” effect of the chorus, like a carousel.
6. Sweden - Loreen - Tattoo
This is SO formatted for Eurovision. It’s not like it’s a bad song but I feel like I’m being spoonfed pre-packed expected winner material. Also, the melody of the opening lines reminds me very much of ABBA’s The Winner Takes It All. Coincidence? Homage? Poaching?
5. France - La Zarra - Evidemment
La grande glam queen. I’m still bitter that she was just nominated by the French Eurovision organisation, robbing us of an evening’s fun and the opportunity to vote. O the irony of going to Canada to pick an artist who claims to sing, quote, “la Grande France” (as if that is even a thing). But, okay, I’ll admit that she has a great voice. And the song is a good mix of oldie tunes and modern sounds.
4. Spain - Blanca Paloma - Eaea
Poetry on stage. Haunting in the best possible way. And they're doing interesting stuff with the staging. Love it.
3. Portugal - Mimicat - Ai coração
Woman falls into madness waiting for her lover. The successively increasing and lowering pace gives a lot of dynamic to this number that looks like it could belong to a musical. The staging and dancing is laid out like clockwork. Very engaging and entertaining. (How did this rank so high? I liked the song okay when I first listened to it, but to make it to the top three…)
2. Norway - Alessandra - Queen of Kings
A banger. I dare you to listen to this song and not be ready to run to battle with a cutlass between your teeth. A rousing anthem that takes its roots in sea shanties and female empowerment. For some reason, the music video took inspiration from the flurry of dystopian YA books and movies from a few years ago. Go figure.
1. Italy - Marco Mengoni - Due vite
When I started listening to the songs to do this ranking, I fully expected that the struggle for top place would be a battle of queens between Norway, Spain, France and Estonia (Portugal sneaked up on me). And yet here comes Italy. Damn it, Mengoni could sing whatever he likes with this dulcet voice full of emotion and this luscious language – I would follow. The Pied Piper of San Remo! One remark though: the video from the national performance is 4 minutes long whereas the Eurovision piece will have to be cut down to 3 minutes – what will that do the flow of the song? We'll have to wait and see.
So there you go, that’s my ranking! Happy Eurovision season, everyone!

The Sense of Me / Chemicals
A Walk in Chiaroscuro update: So this song embodies the mood we’re in. Don’t worry it’s a good thing. Like many a times before, I’m re-writing the outline - it’s the 10000th times I know! - and I’m adding things in. Again. Honestly, at this point, half of the story is “✨stuff I added at the last minute for dramatic effect✨”
Without going into too much spoilers, there's about 3 pages worth of bullet points I’m adding to the narrative. I didn’t insert them in the outline yet, so idk if it’ll make the chapters longer or simply add some. The good news is that every time I do this I get an extra boost of creativity and motivation. On the flip side, it may take me more time to get to finishing the new chapter. (and the freakin’ fic too gkfdjiudhuihsui!!) Chapter 31 is currently sitting at 1.2k words, waiting for me to get back to it. But enough about my writing process. I mostly wanted to share this song with you today, that I’m sure all of you have listened to ad nauseam ten times over. It’ll always remind me of the moment I just became attached to Nathan and yelled at my screen a resounding “WHAT? Of screen?! Really!?! You’re killing that character OF SCREEN????!” and never recovered. As you can see.

Personally, I’ve been feeling both simultaneously for years & I think I’ve had enough. Im ready to let it all go & pivot to the nothing related to marketing, PR, communications, ……nothing. Im 31 going on 32. I’ve been working in this since I was in college around the age of 21. Altogether 10 years. I have nothing to show for & no more doors are opening.

77. I think I’ve been fighting depression and it’s caught me.
78. Mental Healness on Tik Tok is a great guy. It’s refreshing to see a black male open up about his mental illness to help others. He is a diagnosed narcissist & has so many men & women in his comments who has narcissism that are getting help because of him.

82. Beyoncé - “Church Girl” should be played more often.
83. It takes one day to get married but a lifetime to stay married.

85. I’m unfriending a lot of men when I get back on Facebook. If we not family, genuine friends, you’re not inspiring me, we not hunching, or making money together….then I don’t see the point of remaining Facebook friends.
86. I may be single but I ain’t out here physically fighting a significant other. 🙌🏽
87. Everyone should watch “Bao” & “Red panda” 🥹
88. I LOVE BEING AN AUNTIE!🥰
89. Stop having relationship conversations with people you’d never consider dating or that are not on the same wave length as you. You’re wasting your energy.
90. I feel some type of way about the “hot Cheetos girl” trend in Tik Tok.
91. RIP Grandma Holla 🙏🏾
92. Teaching kids to set boundaries, how to respect other people’s boundaries, & supporting them while they are practicing is important. It is also important for them to watch YOU set boundaries, respect other people’s boundaries, & see you receive support from your tribe.
93. “It’s clear that I’m not feeling you & you not feeling me. On the G, what comes after A? Just let that let that Nigga B.” - Freaky T
94. Sunday is not a rest day from the gym or from moving the body.
95. Go watch “Shadow In The Cloud” on Hulu.
96. I got new bras! 🎉

98. 🔑 “Sometimes your point is in your silence.” - Megan Brooks
99. “High value but no core values.” 🚫👎🏽
100. “Drake wants a Ayesha Curry but is Drake a Steph Curry!?” - KnoForSure Podcasts

The Ties that Bind Us, Chapter 20
“Have you given any consideration to where you’d like your next posting to be?”
Katie shook her head. “I’m still trying to wrap my head around everything. Hadn’t even thought beyond today.”
“I would imagine you’ll be getting quite a few offers coming in, and you’ll no doubt have your pick of the lot.”
“I suppose.” She narrowed her eyes. “Are you hinting at what I think you’re hinting at?”
Anderson chuckled. “You caught me. My XO has tired of ship life and is taking a post on one of the outer colonies.”
“Interesting timing.”
“Indeed. Though when he first came to me, you were still an N5. I’d still have tried to recruit you if you’d left back then, though I knew you wouldn’t.”
“It was tempting at times.” Katie cracked her neck, still stiff and sore from the raid. “As is this offer. It’s… very tempting.”
“I sense a ‘but’ coming.”
She shrugged. “Not a ‘but’ exactly, and not a ‘no.’ More of a ‘can I think about it?’”
“Of course. I wouldn’t want you to go into any new assignment without sitting on it for a bit.”
“And now you sound like Dad.”
“I don’t know whether to take that as a compliment or not, given how often you two butt heads over Alliance matters.”
“It varies, but in this instance, it’s a compliment.” She glanced over Anderson’s shoulder. “Speak of the devil…”

You can find the rest here. As always, comments, reblogs, etc. are very very welcome

My #1 post of 2022
Head Over Tattered Sneakers, Ch. 62
It's been... awhile since I updated, becausse *gestures to life in general*
But here we are, a year and a half later, with more Bex shenanigans. Enjoy!
“Wow,” Kaidan began, clearly trying not to stare, “you, uh—”
“Look like you got stabbed in the face by a hundred tiny blades,” Morgan finished when he faltered. Bex stifled a laugh when Hackett reached over and smacked him on the back of the head. “Ow.”
“You’re not wrong, exactly.” She shifted from side to side, staring at her boots to avoid Hackett's gaze the same way she'd avoided Zaeed's. “The fight with the Shadow Broker was… intense. But that's one name crossed off the list of people who want me dead, so I'll call it a win.”
“Close call, according to Massani’s message,” Hackett said. “He mentioned that you didn't take your commandos with you.”
Bex rolled her eyes and finally raised her head to look at him. “We took them to the base, but the Broker had some sort of plan, and they got locked out of his office, so it was just us and Liara. Just me an’ her, actually, after he knocked Zaeed out cold.”
“Is he all right?”
“He joined in Karin’s post-battle nanny goat nagging, so yeah, I'd say he's just fine.” Bex shrugged. “A little sore, probably has a raging headache, but he'll be right as rain in a couple days. He'll be touched that you care.”
Morgan snickered and sidestepped when Hackett glared at him.
“So what can I help you gents with today? I know you didn't call just to stare at my face. Well,” Bex nodded to Morgan and Kaidan, “at least you two didn't.”
Neither even cracked a smile before they glanced at each other, at Hackett, and then took a step back.
Shit.
“We have a delicate situation,” Hackett said, “and we could use your help.”
“Steven, be serious. No one has ever put me and the word delicate in the same sentence unless they were taking the mickey.” Bex narrowed her eyes. “‘Sides, I'm not in the Alliance or a Spectre anymore. I'm not at the top of anybody’s Must Call list.”
“That may be true in most cases, but…” Hackett hesitated before continuing in a somber tone. “Garrett Kyle has reappeared on our radar.”
Bex stumbled back to sink into her desk chair. “As in Major Garrett ‘I got cold feet on the battlefield and ran like a bloody coward’ Kyle?”
“Yes. We don't know what happened after he was given an honorable discharge—”
“‘Honorable’ my ass,” Bex muttered, covered by a cough.
“—after Torfan, but at present, he's set up a commune for wayward biotics.”
She groaned. “Not again… Why’s it always fucking biotics?” She frowned. “Actually, wait… Why is it biotics this time? Unless he got dumped in a vat of eezo in the last six years, Kyle's not…”
“No, he's not. But we’re under the impression he… identifies with them.”
Bex stared stupidly at the screen for several seconds. “In what way could he identify with biotics?”
Hackett held up a hand. “I know, it sounds ludicrous. My own impression is less that he identifies with them, and more that he identified a group of outsiders who needed a guiding hand. Or something to that effect. In fact, he now goes by Father Kyle.”
“This should be bloody brilliant then.”
You can find the rest of this beast of a chapter here. Comments, kudos, reblogs, etc. are always welcome.

How about glancing at each other’s lips? :)
Glancing at each other’s lips
Once the whiskey was consumed, David and Patrick fell back into easy conversation. They don’t know where the night is going to take them, but they are enjoying the moment.
David moves to take his sweater off and Patrick follows.
“Is this OK?” David whispers, not wanting to break the mood.
“Yes, it’s fine.” Patrick, replies, giving a small swallow.
David glances down, first at Patrick’s lips, and then to his neck, and back to his lips. Patrick nods, and then David is kissing him.
Patrick moans into the kiss, and David deepens it. After a couple minutes, they both part for air lips, red and swollen.
They both look down at their lips and give shy smiles to each other.
“I didn’t know it could feel like that.” Patrick sighs.
“Neither did I.” David murmurs. He pulls Patrick into a hug and kisses his forehead. As they both decide what comes off next.

Suit
This weeks Drabble: Suit. @schittscreekdrabbleblog
Also unbeta’d
“Fine. Suit yourself.” David huffed as Patrick slammed the door to their cottage. David knew it was a dumb argument. They’d been digging at each other all week, and now Patrick had stormed off. 
Patrick knew he was being petty. He could feel the tension building all week long. There was no reason for it except maybe the change in seasons have their moods a little down. He breathes and jogs around the block.
David was pacing the kitchen when the front door opens. He peered into the living room and looked at Patrick. 
“I’m sorry.” they say in unison.

Drabble: Bargain and Blanket
@schittscreekdrabbleblog word(s) of the week.
Got me some Stevie feels.
The blanket at the base of her bed is well worn. She bought it in a bargain bin at Target before they went out of business. Stevie has used this blanket during all her ups and downs over the past couple years. It comforted her when she and David went from FWB to just friends, there after Aunt Maureen died, there when she realized she owned the motel, the Emir stuff, and when she became a boss lady. As she folds the blanket, she realizes how much she’s changed since the Rose’s came to town. She smiles for the future.

Wedding
For @schittscreekdrabbleblog this week and the word is wedding. Almost didn’t get this done!
The first holiday season after the engagement, David and Patrick, visited the Brewers. David didn’t know what to expect but the Brewers were extremely welcoming. One night after dinner, Marcy brings out some old photo albums and Patrick cringes. 
“There will be time for some cringing later dear, but first I wanted to show you some of our wedding photos, since you are planning your own.” She smiles at the boys. 
They sit and look through the wedding album, and Patrick as a baby album.  They laughed and enjoyed the stories. 
Later that night, David whispered to Patrick, “Thank you.”

My #1 post of 2022
Did I actually write this this morning? Say what? I didn’t procrastinate?
@schittscreekdrabbleblog words of the week are Review and Bonus word is deer.
Something was eating the garden and Patrick was going to get to the bottom of this. He went to the store and bought a backyard camera and set it up.
When David got home from work he noticed the camera. “What’s this honey?”
“I’m going to catch whoever is eating my garden.”
David nodded and kissed the top of Patrick’s head.
The next morning Patrick reviewed the footage on his laptop. “Those damn deer!” He muttered.
David walked in, “Those deer are cute!”
“Monsters are what they are.”
“Hmm, Oh ok dear.”
Patrick glares and works on his game plan.

Sitting To Know Your Collection March Roundup
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Sitting To Know Your Collection: Week 10! (March 3rd - March 10)
Album: Tall People Have No Feelings by The Vanilla Milkshakes Play Count: 3-4 ish times Top 2 Tracks: - We Sound Shitty So Spin Will Like Us (Track 11) - Deez Boots (Track 3) Yay! We made it to 10 weeks!
Doesn’t the title give the same energy and Randy Newman’s “Short People Got No Reason To Live?” 😂
Back in 2019 I went and saw a Green Day cover band and these fine folks were opening for them. At that show I’m pretty sure I got a free copy of this week’s album and if it wasn’t free then I just paid for it like an upstanding human lol. Anyway this is a solid, cheap punk record and I had fun listening to it. The repetitive lines (inside of songs) that come with a lot of punk music were some of my favorite parts, especially because when I’m binging ish, I’m drawn to anything that I can latch onto. So, it doesn’t take too long for me to attach myself to lines like “I annoy myself with my misery. I annoy myself with my misery. I annoy myself with my misery….” lol.
If y’all want some sh*tty but good and easy punk to dabble in and have fun with, go check them out. I don’t think they’re on Instagram anymore, but there’s BandCamp and Spotify and wherever else you consume music.
PS: Just like no sealed tapes, I unsealed this one cause, no sealed CDs either lol.
_______________________________________________________________
Sitting To Know Your Collection: Week 11 (March 11 - March 17)
Album: Metro Station (2007) by Metro Station Play Count: 3-ish times Top 2 Tracks: - California (Track 9) - Seventeen Forever (Track 1) We visited 2007 for the second time during this year of albums and let’s just say I love 30 minute-ish albums. They’re just so digestible. Back in the day, like back in high school, I remember standing in Walmart and trying to decide whether to get this album or Taylor Swift and 17 years later you could see what kind of teen I was and thus part of the elder “emo” I grew up to be. The album came on and I immediately knew every word. I haven’t listened to this one in a while, but it came back like it was yesterday. There was only like one or two songs that needed to get to the chorus before I got it, but I still got it. We still got it. That being said the scene although it still gives good memories, gives me some pause as well lol.
_______________________________________________________________
Sitting To Know Your Collection: Week 12 (March 18 - March 24)
Album: As Cruel As School Children (2006) by Gym Class Heroes Play Count: 4 Top 2 Tracks: - 7 Weeks (Track 7) - Shoot Down The Stars (Track 2)
It’s fun coming back to this album when I do cause for the most part there still are some good vibes, however this time I caught somethings I hadn’t before and will say that not all vibes are good vibes. Maybe I just missed every time it came on previously, but the song about the affair with the teacher was not it bruh. And we all love Clothes Off, but we don’t have to take them off to have a good time. Now I’m not trying to trash the album or anything like that, I’m just realizing what I’ve been singing for many years now. Look up them lyrics y’all lol. Anyway it was still fun, just had to pause a little bit.
_______________________________________________________________
Sitting To Know Your Collection: Week 13 (March 24 - March 31)
EP: I Try Not To Think About The Past (2018) by Zach Frost Music Play Count: 4 Top Track: You Can’t Go Back (Track 2)
I usually avoid EPs with these listens cause they’re so short, however due to #NoSealedCDs and this one being special I made an exception.
A few years ago the very kind Zach Frost sent me a some merch and a few CDs after I talked about a band he used to be in that I really loved. I never opened the cd because I never found the right moment and just listened to him on Spotify. Anyway I finally cracked it open and gave it a few official physical listens.
My opinion is that this sounds like it could have been a Ska record. Maybe it’s because I’ve been listening to like one Ska Punk artist or the catchy lines in You Can’t Go Back. Anyway I had fun with this one and wish I would have gotten more than 4 listens in cause it was so digestible. (I honestly just kept forgetting to press play after it was over.)
.
.
What was your favorite from March or what would you check out?
Stay Tuned For April!

Mercy On Us
Verse of the day
========================
Matthew 20:30 Two blind men were sitting by the roadside, and when they heard that Jesus was going by, they shouted, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!”
========================
** SAY THIS BEFORE YOU READ; HERE’S SOME CHRISTIAN AFFIRMATION **
I AM PRAISING GOD
I AM LISTENING TO GOD
I AM FEARLESS
I HAVE A CLEAR MIND
********************************
Thoughts
=======================
We can’t allow people and things to stop us from calling on God; it’s bad enough we sometimes have our emotions to slow us down from reaching out to God, and when this happens, it causes us to be diverted from calling on him, but we must stay focused. In this story, it was two blind men and who needed Jesus; they heard Jesus was coming their way, so they started shouting Son of David, have mercy on us, everyone around them told them to be quiet, and they didn’t stop why because they knew if they kept calling out to him that he would hear them! Do you believe that? Do you believe that through whatever the world is saying, God is much bigger than this world ??
The men that walked around Jericho shouted because they knew they had the victory!
Luke 17:15 Then one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, praising God with a loud voice;
Psalm 98:4 Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth; break forth into joyous song and sing praises!
Ezra 3:13 So that the people could not distinguish the sound of the joyful shout from the sound of the people's weeping, for the people shouted with a great shout, and the sound was heard far away.
See, shouting means victory; shouting means I know he can hear me! Shouting means we know that if we shout, he could hear us, and HE can break through this spiritual fog. HE CAN BREAK THROUGH ANYTHING; some of us are going through a spiritual fog because we aren’t shouting enough to praise him, and some of us aren’t shouting enough because we are lost with what we have going on; these men in this story didn’t let blindness stop them from shouting for help, they didn’t let what they lack stop them, they shouted because they had faith to know he could heal them!
“Acts 3:38 And leaping up, he stood and began to walk, and entered the temple with them, walking and leaping and praising God.”
Joy should make us shout, believing God will answer us should make us leap and shout a Holy Ghost shout because when we praise God, and we believe he makes sure we have, because we took the time to show where our faith is! Where is our faith in knowing that we can have a breakthrough?
The fog that’s there in our life is meant to break us; the enemy knows what to do at the right time; that’s why we can’t pay the enemy any attention; that’s why we must ignore everything he throws at us, and it’s hard to do, but if we don’t we will be lost in our thoughts! Lost in how we THINK we are losing, we aren’t losing my friends; we are gaining when we walk in God!
“Romans 8:31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
We might have the world telling us to stop praying, stop praising, stop reading your word, but in the word, it says this! If God is for us, who can be against us? The world can be against our ideas, against our desires, against our calling, but when we walking in the light and we are walking with God! We don’t have to have anyone but God in our corner because when we have God in our corner, it’s like having a billion people on our side; we don’t need the likes, we need God, we don’t need the thumbs ups we need God, we don’t need all the subscribers we need GOD !!!!
“Colossians 3:23 Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men,”
It says it here work heartily for the lord, not for men; what we do in our life, we do it for God; we don’t do it for the glory of men but for God! God is why we pray, not to tell others we prayed; God is why we praise him, not for others to see us praise him! We do everything for God! & when we place everything on God, he will show us why we made the right choice; choosing God, choosing praise, and choosing his love is more important than anything in this world !!
**Today, look at your situation and your life, ignore the rude remarks and the ugly ways of others, and keep your eyes on God; keep your mind on Jesus, and he will be there for you! No matter how loud they shout or how harsh the words can get them to ignore it all and stay focused on the situation at hand. Stay focused on God most importantly, praise God through your circumstances, keep calling his name through the fog, and don’t let the fog stop you from reaching out to God
©Seer~ Prophetess Lee
========================
Prayer
========================
Heavenly Father, we thank you for allowing us to call out to you, we thank you for allowing us to be near you, we thank you for forgiving us of our sins, lord help us to be more like you, lord help us through or fog, help us to stay focused on you and not what’s happening lord, we thank you for what you already did we praise you for all that you do, lord we desire to make you happy show us your will for our life show us more of you give us more wisdom and knowledge in Jesus name amen.
========================
Reference
========================
+James 5:13 Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing praise.
+Hebrews 13:15 Through him then let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that acknowledge his name.
+ Psalm 71:8
My mouth is filled with your praise, and with your glory all the day.
========================
Further reading
=========================
Isaiah 28:14-30:11
Galatians 3:23-4:31
Psalm 62:1-12
Proverbs 23:19-21

Brie and the babies were home with their friends and their families. They had been discharged after being given the okay to leave the hospital. The babies fell asleep during the car ride home. It took a few minutes for her, Mike and Phoenix to figure out the car seats. The babies hated being moved around. They fussed until they were strapped in and given their pacifiers. Going home. It was going to be a long six months. At the same time, it was going to go by so fast.
One day, they were going to turn around and notice they had to plan their first birthday party. Then, they were going to be toddlers crawling all over the place. She had connected her phone with the radio, so they could listen to her playlist. The first song that played was You’re Going to Miss This by Trace Adkins. It was about living in the moment because life happened so quickly.
Mike wasn’t a fan of country music like she was but he had to admit, it was a very good song. It was the reminder he needed. As a new father, he was going to have moments where he wished they slept through the night, so he didn’t have to wake up every few hours. Someday, he would be wondering where the time went as they planned their first birthday party. His little girls wouldn’t be newborns anymore. They would be starting to walk and talk.
Dada! Dada! He and Brie would be running around making sure they didn’t hurt themselves or put the wrong things in their mouths. Lily, don’t climb on that. Lila, don’t put that in your mouth. It was going to happen before he knew it. One day, he was going to come home and watch them crawl over to him. He would wrap them in his arms and kiss their little foreheads. Dada loves you!
When they got home, they put the car seats in the living room before putting everything upstairs in the bedroom. It could be unpacked later. They were having the band and their kids over. He wrapped his wife in his arms. They were home. She rested her head on his shoulder and he kissed her forehead. He loved her because she helped make him a father. I love you, too. They went back downstairs, where they went into the living room after taking out the babies.
She held both of them while he worked in the kitchen. He wanted her to rest as much as possible to prevent her from developing postpartum depression. They were both content at the moment, as they had new diapers and had been fed before leaving the hospital. They had their little hats on their heads and mittens on their hands to protect them from accidentally scratching themselves.
She was so in love with her girls. They were perfect. Was she still anxious about being a bad mother? Yeah, she was going to visit her therapist the following afternoon by herself. Mike and Phoenix would take care of the girls while she was gone.
The first to arrive was Phoenix. He hugged Mike and gave him a quick kiss before going to the living room. Linsey was coming with the kids. They were very excited to see the babies! Baby, Daddy! That was what Cheyenne said as she jumped up and down. Baby, Daddy! Yeah, babies were exciting! He bent over and hugged her before sitting down next to her.
Gradually, everyone started showing up. Chester took one of the girls before sitting down next to Brie. Lila. He still couldn’t believe he had two girls after having four boys. Even though they couldn’t reply to him, he talked to them as if they could. Draven and Tyler came over to meet their sisters, as did the other kids. They wanted to see the babies. Chester was thrilled to have his girls, especially since he was fighting with Jaime and Isaiah because they didn’t want to see him.
He was a terrible father, who chose Draven and Tyler over them. They were teenagers, so they had the right to choose who they wanted to live with. He was heartbroken and he wished he could talk to them. Yeah, he had a drug and alcohol problem but he tried to be a good father to them. He was sober and was fighting every day not to relapse. His ex-girlfriend, Elka would try talking to them.
He was secretly jealous of Phoenix because he had a crush on Mike first. Because of how happy they were, he didn’t want to say anything and fuck up their relationship. Still, he wished it was him.
They all listened to the kids talk about the babies and they answered their questions. When they started crying to have their diapers changed, they asked why they were sad. The adults laughed at the cute question. They weren’t sad. That was how they communicated what they needed since they couldn’t talk. They were brought upstairs by Brie and Mike after they excused themselves.
When they came back down, the babies were hungry. Didn’t they just eat? He laughed as he went to the refrigerator and took out two premade bottles. Yeah, it seemed like that. He handed one to Brie before giving the other to Lila. They then went back to their guests.
“They’re hungry”, Noa said
“Yeah. You guys think they want a steak dinner”, Phoenix joked.
No! The adults laughed. They couldn’t eat steak because they didn’t have any teeth! That was exactly right. Someday, they could have a steak dinner. The kids were so interested and amazed by the newborns. They were so small, like baby dolls. Yeah, they were. One day, they would grow up to be big like them! Then, they could play with them. Brad asked Mike how he was doing.
He was so tired but so happy to be home. As was Brie. What was the song called that they were listening to on the way home? It was some country song. Knowing her, that was half her playlist. They laughed.
“It was some guy with a deep voice. The song was about getting an apartment and having kids.”
“Oh, Trace Adkins. You’re Going to Miss This.”
She got out her phone and found the song on Spotify. They listened to it. It just happened to come up as they were driving home. Patti recommended it to her when she was pregnant. They agreed it was a nice song. It wasn’t a stereotypical country song about beer, horses and whatever else country artists sang about. As a joke, she played Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy by Big & Rich, making them laugh.
“Save a horse. Ride a cowboy, Phoenix”, Chester joked.
They laughed.
“I was going to say something but then I realized it was not appropriate for children.”
“Think of the children, Phoenix”, Brad said.
“Won’t someone think of the children”, he joked back.
They laughed again. Was she going back to the studio? Not for three months. The twins would be sleeping a little longer and she would be used to having a routine with them. Brad and Mike were going to have her go to Nashville for a week or two to work on music. That was going to be a lot of fun! The first time she went there, it was a cultural shock because it was so country music oriented.
“You walk down the street and hey. There’s Toby Keith or whoever. There’s zero paparazzi and nobody cares that you’re from LA. It’s a culture of beer, football and country music. And trucks.”
“I would go for the beer”, Phoenix said.
“You would make a great country artist”, Rob joked.
“I don’t like trucks and I don’t play football.”
“Fair enough.”
They laughed. After a while, the babies fell asleep for their naps. Mike brought them upstairs and put them gently into their crib. He then turned on the baby monitors, so they could hear them when they woke up. After taking one, he went back downstairs.
