#i love sleeping at last so much i have so many songs in the gom playlist of theirs

[tetsunabouquet]

Hey! How are you? :) I have a very specific scenario lmao bear with me. I work as a Disney princess (Aurora, sleeping beauty) in my local themepark, I spend time with children, answer any questions if they have any, read them book, sing my songs. If there is a birthday party in correlation with Disney I get invited and stuff. I was wondering if you could write how gom's would react to an s/o with a job like this, their reaction with the s/o spending too much time with the assigned prince actors and stuff. This is so horribly cringe omg but I love your writing and wanna see how you demonstrate this! Thanks for reading :)

A/N: Again, than you so much for this request, I cannot express how much I loved writing this.

Akashi

-Considering he has two personalities, it obviously depends on the personality how he reacts to it. -Original Akashi actually is pleasantly surprised and quite interested. I think he really digs a s/o that is wonderful with children. -He is amazed at the way you can remain calm and cheerful even when the kids are acting like complete brats. -Honestly just seeing you on the job is enough to convince Akashi you are marriage material. Your ability to play a role, your warmth that never seems to waver despite how bad some of the kids can be sometimes, it convinces him you are the perfect wife for the Akashi household and as warm as a mother as his own was. -Which is why he actually likes watching you on the job. -He isn't envious of the actors who come and play your prince in a possessive kind of manner, but he always wonders what it would be like to play the part of Prince himself. He often likes to imagine himself playing the part, and sweeping you off your feet in front of the kids. -As for Akashi's emperor persona on the other hand, things are naturally different. -For one, this one can be quite clingy and possessive and he has threatened the life of the prince actors at least once per person. -He's not afraid to make a brat cry so honestly one should tell him to stay away. -But no one ever does, because they know Akashi won't listen. -However, this version of Akashi is the likeliest out of everyone to force your boss to pay you well, and your boss honestly worships you afterwards as your boss feels like the only reason their family is still alive is your grace.

Kise

-At first, he doesn't knows wether he should be happy you are the center of attention for once, or wether he should feel envious he's not everyone's sun at the moment. -Kise actually is wonderful with the kids and gets along great with them. You muse it must be his childish side and his ability to be friendly and charming. -Kise, as a model, does have a little understanding of what it is to be in the entertainment industry and the two of you often talk about your jobs and vision for the future together. -As a model, he isn't jealous of the prince actors either. He also has to do a shoot with female models sometimes, so he understands that its business. -Eventually, he actually gets curious and wants to try out as a prince actor himself, because he's good with kids and he honestly wants to see what its like sometimes. -He didn't last long though. His fangirls quickly got wind of it and booked him so many times for parties, that he had to quit.

Muraskibara

-Nobody was surprised about your job, after all, Murasakibara can be like a toddler himself so the fact you are trained to handle them honestly made his teammates think something along the lines of, 'So that's why she's so great with him'. -He honestly shouldn't be taken to visit you at your job because Murasakibara isn't afraid to go after the kids who steal his candy. His murderous look is enough to have any parent present fear for their kids. -Murasakibara doesn't really cares for the prince actors, but he's annoyed with how much time they and your job requires. He genuinely wants you to be around him 24/7. -However Murasakibara always tries to comfort you in his own ways when he notices you have had a rough day on the job. He can be a surprisingly good listener. -He has his own sweet but weird idea of being romantic. For one, whenever it is December he will buy Disney princess themed chocolate calendars because Aurora was on it.

Aomine

-Honestly his first reaction is some kind of flirtatious comment that should be categorized in the 'horrible pick-up line' section of flirting. You end up laughing at it and thinking he looks so cute when he gets redfaced. -Will not hold back his tongue when a brat is acting up, but if the kid bursts out in tears he gets so apologetic that you think he's only ever looked that sincere whenever he hurts you or Momoi. -He can actually be act like a friendly older brother to the good behaved kids, and you secretly think its the cutest thing ever. -Aomine gets quite jealous in regards to the prince actors. He will try to act nice enough when there are kids around, but if its just you hanging out with your co-workers, then he honestly wants to be there so he can keep an eye on the young men around you. -He's not afraid to throw punches at them if they ever dare to make a move on you. -But leave it to Momoi to have a plan to convince you Aomine is your one and only prince. You honestly could not believe him when he showed up on your doorstep in perfect cosplay, but you were enarmored with the gesture for sure.

Midorima

-Is totally flabbergasted when he learns about our job. Honestly, his reaction is the most comical. -Though he actually does expresses interest and always asks you how your day at work was. -Whilst Takao and Midorima occasionally visit you on the job, Midorima is too busy just appreciating how pretty you look to pay the prince actors some attention. As long as they are nice too you, Midorima is cool with it. -Midorima does worry they are underpaying you sometimes. -Because you have to be good with kids on the job, he actually dares to open up with you about his little sister and any fight or worries he has regarding her (he's too prideful to ask Takao for advice). -His sister adores your job more then he does, which is why he booked you and the other princesses at the park for her birthday. She was so happy seeing 'Nee-Chan' and everyone else dressed up like real princesses for her party and actually dressed up as a tiny Aurora herself to match you. Midorima honestly was melting at how cute the two of you were from a distance, where he took many and many photos.

God this is such a good interpretation you've done and i'm impressed cuz you lined up the lyrics better than i can (my adhd brain scatters unless i'm giving something my full attention) i so DIRELY want to explain the GOM version but i can't fully UGHHHH

some of these explanations are right on the money though with my thoughts initially!! I leaned more towards emotional/metaphorical meanings, but there's an entire section in the end of empathy arc that i can't explain which is why i never gave my thoughts OTL one of the metaphorical things i feel like i can explain is the glass house and lifeline- the glass house referring to wwx's (redacted) state and the lifeline referring to the bonds he has lost or feels he can't keep.

i will explain a little though as to give a liiiiittle explanation where i can however: i did say "sunshot to burial" but i actually imagined "sunshot to mxy" which i regret not changing in my post haha, but i want to go over this part particularly:

'There was an earthquake There was an avalanche of change We were so afraid We cried ourselves a hurricane There were floods Tidal waves over us So we folded our hands and prayed Like a domino These wildfires grow and grow'

These two verses were the start of Nightless city to the end of WWX's first life. I imagined many scenes with the Wens during these and it was so painful to imagine them begging not to be killed or praying for a solution with the "So we folded our hands and prayed" part (┬┬﹏┬┬)

There is a section of empathy at the end that is unique to GOM, which is why i can't talk abt it, but it's between the 4th and 6th line.

'We cried ourselves a hurricane There were floods Tidal waves over us'

and then MXY's parts. 'Until a brand new world takes shape' ‘Till the sirens sound, I'm safe Until the sirens sound, I'm safe Until the sirens sound, I'm safe’

every time "Until the sirens sound, I'm safe" plays i also imagine this is like, referencing to wwx's future life but it doesn't come true until the end, where he is repeatedly finding that he is safe...with lwj, regardless of each danger that comes their way.

i found a song for gom once more

the images that i got of sunshot to burial wwx listening to this made me cry sobs

[akawaiishi-blog]

Ain’t Talkin’ - Bob Dylan

Synopsis :

In a Godless world where even the idea of the nameless one is laughed at and denied, Bob walks through the ruins and decadent cities and clings onto the light of the most precious warmth. Whatever foe must be slayed will be slayed without mercy, whatever opponent is found in his path will be slaughtered. There are no laws in this forsaken wasteland, no honour, no faith, no rules, all’s up for grabs but he resists and holds onto the light like a beacon in darkness. The garden, the most precious place, that too is abandoned and God’s away. Yet relentlessly, he awaits heavenly aid. Bob practices an old abandoned faith, one from so long ago that it lingers only in the very depths and catacombs of our history and time, at the very last floor of our souls.

As I walked out tonight in the mystic garden The wounded flowers were dangling from the vine I was passing by yon cool crystal fountain Someone hit me from behind Ain’t talkin’, just walkin’ Through this weary world of woe Heart burnin’, still yearnin’ No one on earth would ever know

I like to think of the mystic garden as the place of introspection where the self truly resides. You can reach that world through either contemplation of the state of things, meditation or even stimulating your feelings to such heights that you’ll walk around as though you were chased by a pack of hungry dogs. It is not part of the physical world yet all have access to it emotionally, it is the place from which imagination, inspiration and creativity reside, introspection is key. The 5 senses of man are conduits that influence that world, this is why the flowers are wounded, both worlds are intrinsically connected. The senses influence reality, memories, actions and events, they corrupt the purity of the garden and inject into it sickness where the vegetation that once was pure slowly rots and is left to die should we be careless enough not to act righteously and bravely against the sin which we were born with. Sin is inside that garden, it is a small seed and how much one wants to water the seed of sin is up to himself, whether it be conscious or unconscious, that is until he recognizes the seed. It’s ironic that the only link between the garden and the outside world is sin itself, we cannot live without it but peace is a losing battle worth fighting for. Adam and Eve bit into the apple and became like God, knowing good and evil and therefore finding the choice between good and evil but to also perceive good an evil. If they had not had the apple, the arts that we know would not exist, this song would not exist. Truly, we should be grateful to the serpent for this, it gave us almost complete control of ourselves. The crystal fountain I can only picture as the divine spark which gives life to the garden, water is life, without it, there is none. Christ says that the kingdom of God is found within, knowing that Bob’s a believer, that would make sense, God is the very atom of the water that spring from the fountain. Bob gets hit by somebody bringing him back out from his introspection and into the physical realm where pain and woe thrive.

There is no point in Bob talking, rather it seems that he’s better off just walking and leaving the physical world crumble around him. The world is made up of pain and his heart burns and still yearns for more closeness yet no one will ever know about the struggle since the description of that yearning is simply indescribable. To fill the void and the emptiness in a world where all things idolize decadence of the soul rather than growth, who’d understand ? Or may be, no one would ever know because the journey he undertakes in this song is completely inward, there’s a hint to that at the end of the song

They say prayer has the power to heal So pray from the mother In the human heart an evil spirit can dwell I am a-tryin’ to love my neighbor and do good unto others But oh, mother, things ain’t going well Ain’t talkin’, just walkin’ I’ll burn that bridge before you can cross Heart burnin’, still yearnin’ There’ll be no mercy for you once you’ve lost

Prayer does have power. Through the law of attraction, good and positive thoughts influence our experience of the world and what we can receive from it, baring in mind that it is much harder to do than it is to say. Since pain is an addictive feeling that releases endorphins in the brain, it’s almost as though we need pain whether that be physical or mental, it’s well documented that some of us are addicted to torturing ourselves with negative thinking. Evolution taught us to be careful of all dangers and to expect bad to happen, man could not defend himself against the animals that surrounded him and so was made to always be on his guard therefore thriving upon negativiy, was man the underdog of the world and stood against the dangers by broadening his consciousness to the point that he began to become his own worst enemy through the realisation that he has the potential to destroy anything by the use of his own psyche ? Man grew and found within himself the devil, the devil was the only way he was going to survive in this world. How wide does Pandora’s box open ? Lucifer brought us the light, Adam and Eve were inside God’s mind, what God could not do was remove the Tree of Knowledge because it served him and was necessary to him. He was supposed to carry the knowledge and burden of perception. We can only be grateful to Lucifer for sending us on the amazing journey that life is. I thank both. I forgive both. The mother I can only think of as the Madonna, symbol of purity and life unspoiled by fleshly needs.  

Not all things inside man are good. Observe the world of psychopaths at the top of the political world or even the business world and you begin to see that these people are untouched by judgement because they simply have no conscience of others. Karma does not affect you when you have no conscience, it’s only when you develop conscience that judgement falls upon you. The idea that everything is made out of love is not the only way to touch the feeling of elevation and ascension, you can go all the way down and find power over the world, you will not be yourself when psychotic laughter overtakes you, you’ll be consumed by power and burst out of your chains, eat the world as though it was a piece of raw meat and lay all things to waste. That evil of having no regard for the world around us resides in everyone. Can you handle it is the question and how long for before you break, are you born a psychopath to the extent that you will hurt others and never even honestly think about what happened ? You can lose your good conscience very easily but it might not be lost long enough for you to carry on without looking back. Good and evil intertwine, you might think that you’re doing good when in the contrary, you are doing evil. Picture a funambulist walking on the Yin and Yang. We are stuck between good and evil, it’s as though we’ve been put inside a snow globe where good and evil is the glass that keeps us inside.

Trying to do good onto others is probably the hardest task that’s been brought upon the self, how to do good when all things relate and so many options are open to you that you are blinded by temptation and voices call you from all sides to give into satisfying yourself even if it means to destroy all things around you ? And even if you try to do good, it’s most likely going to be misinterpreted by whoever it is you’re trying to do good onto until it’s understood that you are protecting both yourself and them. Give food to the ever hungry and he asks for more, take it away from him and he’ll take years to understand why. Blinded by an education where all was given to him freely rather than him learning to fetch for himself.

Things don’t go well so Bob keeps walking and not talking, it’s better to keep quiet and to keep walking than to pay attention to the outside influences that may throw you off course in your quest for true goodness, or even worse, that it is you who is the evil that destroys the good around, to keep others safe it’s best if you stay far off and quiet. True goodness is upside down in our social realm, things are inverted. May be that’s why he’s got to burn the bridge or as the last line suggests, may be it’s because you are the enemy. Or is this all happening in Bob’s head and he’s talking to himself ? Restlessly running from himself.

Now I’m all worn down by weeping My eyes are filled with tears, my lips are dry If I catch my opponents ever sleeping I’ll just slaughter ‘em where they lie Ain’t talkin’, just walkin’ Through the world mysterious and vague Heart burnin’, still yearnin’ Walkin’ through the cities of the plague

It’s a painful, painful world. I don’t have much to say about that one, you can only cry for so long, it wears you out and your lips are dry from the thirst for whatever you’re thirsting for has not been satisfied. You know you’ve got enemies. They’re all around, they spit at your values, they laugh at your beliefs, they do anything to keep you in line, they sell you stuff, they show you shit on TV, they bomb Syrians while ISIS run over your families, they lure you into thinking that there is such a thing as winning or losing against them when there is only the awareness of how you treat yourself that counts. Treat yourself well and you will treat others rightfully as they deserve, things are not so black and white and it would be very long to explain how serving one’s self is to live in the laws of nature and God, it’s the contrary of selfishness. It doesn’t matter where you go, which side you might choose, there’s enemies all around anyway. You could pick a side and see where that leads you but loyalty’s only to the self and to God, rely on no one. The world’s vague and that picture of mythical walking as though Bob was an old pilgrim wandering through the cities of the plague is intact and as powerful as ever. Sodom and Gomorrah where all pleasures are up for grabs in order to fill a void that will never be filled through any physical acts anyway, you might as well pluck your eyes out. The people in those cities experience no growth, they’re at a stand still, everything repeats and it’s hell to get out of a habit. Despair leads into habits. ‘’Find me one righteous soul in either cities and I shall not destroy them’’ I paraphrase. God, since found within, was let down by the people of Sodom and Gomorrah and so by not serving the God within and living in accordance to it, the cities fell. They brought destruction on themselves by living in constant sin. Forget yourself and you will be absolutely lost, imitate or try to fit in where you don’t belong and you’re going to hurt yourself really badly.

Well, the whole world is filled with speculation The whole wide world which people say is round They will tear your mind away from contemplation They will jump on your misfortune when you’re down Ain’t talkin’, just walkin’ Eatin’ hog-eyed grease in a hog-eyed town Heart burnin’, still yearnin’ Some day you’ll be glad to have me around

Reality, perception, physics, names, words, everything is out of speculation. Bob then sarcastically puts a touch on how the world might not even be round. ‘I know that I know nothing’ said Socrates.

Contemplation leads to philosophy and that is no fun, one is not supposed to contemplate himself, rather it’d be better to blame other people for your own misfortune, you are not supposed to grow, you are not supposed to face yourself. You’re supposed to bitch about your experiences, that is how your shadow is kept over you like a veil over the light, you should not begin to examine yourself otherwise, you do not give into greed. Are you experiencing symptoms of reflection and contemplation ? Phone your doctor, you suffer from depression. A couple of pills will cure you from the ghosts that haunt you day and night only to come back when the effects wear out, there’s no cure but the education of the self and of the soul, struggle and you will be rewarded, bring out everything that you’ve got, resist and give into nothing but yourself, tough as that may be, no matter how many times you might fail. Now you may think you can rely on a friend but the question isn’t if they can carry you but how long can they carry you for before they too begin to break under your weight ? That is evil and selfish. Carry yourself upright, stare into the face of mankind and don’t forget your mirror.  

Still walking and Bob’s very negative in this song and rarely is negativity tolerated in social circles, too much negativity and criticism is a toxic habit, it blurs the lines so fuck you Bob, go away. Yet negativity offers some fantastic insights into the state of things. If a society lives under an illusion and utopia that everything in the world is good, then you can be sure that there’s something rotten under it. I’d rather say that all things are in bliss rather than everything being made out of love. Actions though, are most of the time done out of love whether they be wrong or good.

They will crush you with wealth and power Every waking moment you could crack I’ll make the most of one last extra hour I’ll avenge my father’s death then I’ll step back Ain’t talkin’, just walkin’ Hand me down my walkin’ cane Heart burnin’, still yearnin’ Got to get you out of my miserable brain

Society spoils you with goods and buying something expensive is often a way to show off how well you’re doing. Consumerism encourages us to believe that our material gain is success and will bring us the needed love which we all seek. It’s the age old story, from the fall of Rome to the breaking point of capitalism. When Rome fell, emperors drank to power since they assumed that they were all powerful they’d thought they’d won everything and by letting down their guards and indulging into pleasure, they lost their way and without struggle there are no lessons and no lessons equals no growth. With capitalism (fuck communism too btw), it’s the citizens that let down their guards against the government, banks and companies. By spoiling the individual with material things, the individual receives a small moment of approval from others which he begins to depend on, it’s just as addictive as pain. It lures him into thinking that his soul does not need taking care of but that rather, his phone needs an upgrade. For the common individual, it also makes him believe that he is escalating the social ladder in the sense that he is closer to the masters of the world while the masters are actually enjoying the most expensive wine and tasting the healthiest and best food around while leaving the individual going into the supermarket to buy a smart price can of potatoes. While the money has gone into upgrading the phone, the minimum wage earner’s body is hungry for health. Later on and whether that game be unconscious or not, this is what happens : While companies fatten the citizens with greed and entitlement, politicians play on the self-pity the individual experiences (because to consume has not fulfilled the needed love) in order to get votes. Behind the curtains, politics and companies are having a hand shake.

Back into the lyrics, you could crack at any moment to give into that game, it is very tempting to throw it all away to join that kind of world because you could get these moments of appreciation too, you see them all around joyful but the moments might be ephemeral, after all, you can’t be in someone else’s mind. So Bob’s gonna make the most of one last hour, he’s gonna do something, keep active because these moments of appreciation are ephemeral and will lead to withdrawal after they’ve gone. To believe that the senses can satisfy the void is misleading, they’re always hungry for more. Only one thing can satisfy and it is immaterial and hard to reach. Then again, we are animals and all animals need physical release. The beast inside must be served, if not served it will come back to insult you and put you down every day.

It’s getting harder to walk, pass him his walking cane while he gets that person out of his already worn out brain, miserable and numb, Bob’s running from a ghost. You can be haunted by memories, they’ll eat you like flies from the inside out. There’s a certain kind of people that can take over you and it’s not them to be blamed personally but they turn into the master puppeteers of your mind, they can literally break you. Worship another human being and you will find that there is no way that this person will ever be satisfied (Mea Culpa), idols are not to be worshipped.

All my loyal and my much-loved companions They approve of me and share my code I practice a faith that’s been long abandoned Ain’t no altars on this long and lonesome road Ain’t talkin’, just walkin’ My mule is sick, my horse is blind Heart burnin’, still yearnin’ Thinkin’ 'bout that gal I left behind

Bobby’s got people that comprehend and understand the feeling, the code of life that must be respected and shared like pirates on a ship or outlaws and renegades in a Texan desert. Faith has no altars, as a matter of fact, there is no need for any altars. ‘’I never turned aside, he said, I never walked away. It was you who built the temple, it was you who covered up my face’’ L. Cohen.

Faith is an act of trust and acceptance to a power unknown, that power does not reside in the altar but again, in the feeling that led to the construction of that altar. God is all around and beyond, we are part of it. Like the vessels that run in our veins, we are the vessels of God. The only place where one might truly worship is again, inside and through the actions undertaken to show proof of that faith, that it is practiced. It lies dormant to plain eyes but is wide awake under the microscope. Go to a place of worship and you might find like-minded people, but it won’t follow you around and go wherever you go, you can only carry faith with you, you can only carry yourself with you. God is synonymous with life. God is synonymous with all things since, from my view, we are inside of it and each one of us carries the spark to live well and according to the code, the laws of nature.

Anyway, Bob’s companions turned out to be a mule and a horse. Jokes.  But the heart still burns,  still yearns and the person in his miserable brain is probably an ex lover.

Well, it’s bright in the heavens and the wheels are flyin’ Fame and honor never seem to fade The fire gone out but the light is never dyin’ Who says I can’t get heavenly aid? Ain’t talkin’, just walkin’ Carryin’ a dead man’s shield Heart burnin’, still yearnin’ Walkin’ with a toothache in my heel

The apocalyptic picture of bright heavens and wheels flying remind me of the coming of judgement day, I can only picture the wheels as the wheel of fortune that hangs above every individual, all things have lost their sense and everything is going in every direction offering no sense of orientation. I know I’m going too far there, it’s probably a plain picture.

The fire’s gone out, life has been sucked out of him, there is nothing left but a flickering light, the flames that drives life into activity, into the hope to change things for the better are gone. There is nothing left but a sense of holding onto the light, however small it might be, Bob does not lose hope or beat himself up, he’s gonna hold onto it until the time comes but whatever happens, the preservation of that light is most important. You can be left empty in this world, that doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t carry on when all lust for living has been swept away, there is light, there is hope. Heavenly aid we can get.

Still walkin’, still not talkin’, he picked up a dead man’s shield and is the dead man his dad ? He mentions avenging his father’s death in some verses before. Make peace with the ogre and your DNA will serve to continue a purpose that flows in your vains.

The sufferin’ is unending Every nook and cranny has its tears I’m not playing, I’m not pretending I’m not nursin’ any superfluous fears Ain’t talkin’, just walkin’ Walkin’ ever since the other night Heart burnin’, still yearnin’ Walkin’ 'til I’m clean out of sight

Bob’s sight is distorted, there’s no ending to the suffering, everywhere there is suffering and that’s the truth. I keep thinking that when it comes to the superfluous fears bit, he makes allusions to the evil spirit and the heavenly aid, those things are no joke and I mean no joke. Our perception is limited but we can switch consciousness with hallucinogenics, seeing things that are not therein our natural sight. DMT seems to lead very much into that. Ayahuasca does show you a world of entities that you cannot see in this realm, different worlds in one. Look into Shamanism. ‘’Shall any gazer see with mortal eyes or any searcher know by mortal mind; veil after veil will lift but there must be veil upon veil behind’’ Edwin Arnold.

‘‘Walkin’ til I’m clean out of sight’‘ - Bob’s my soul companion, love you Bob.

As I walked out in the mystic garden On a hot summer day, a hot summer lawn Excuse me, ma'am, I beg your pardon There’s no one here, the gardener is gone Ain’t talkin’, just walkin’ Up the road, around the bend Heart burnin’, still yearnin’ In the last outback at the world’s end

There’s someone else in the garden now, she’s looking for the gardener but he’s gone, there’s no one left. All’s left to itself. All the way Bob goes into infinity, in the last outback, drifting into whatever the horizon has to propose, he’ll forever walk aimlessly only preserving the flickering light which serves as the only redemption in a world filled with anguish and self indulgence. Or, this is where it relatesback to the beginning, Bob’s on a hot summer lawn, on a hot summer day, a woman comes up to him and ask him where the gardener is. Bob responds that the gardener is gone. This is in the physical world but Bob responds to her with a double meaning. All of this happened to him in a small moment in time while he was taking a journey within himself which involved the social realm. I love it. Meanwhile, because no one on earth will ever know what just went on inside or even comprehend what he saw or even what he sees or feels, he carries this realm within himself to the end. No one believes dreamers even when they’re not dreaming.
