This song brings out the feral rat inside of me!!

[lobster-risotto]

Silverflint AU where Silver is a 28 year old who inherited a home from his great grandfather on the coast of Florida in a tourist town based in 1700s piracy (apparently their port is meant specifically to travel to and from historic Nassau for tourists) with all utilites paid for for the next four years. He never knew the man, not really, and surely felt confused as to why he had earned a home from him. However, he needs a home after having just completed his culinary degree.

He moves in, terrified of the change but eager for the free house, and the town seems nice enough, though full of people from places that are definitely not Florida.

Silver barely notices at first, the way his things don't quite stay where they put them. The way his hair stands up or the room gets strangley cold. Eventually, though, its starts to really bother him. And that's when the shadow starts showing up. That's when the dreams start, and they make little sense. That's when the smell of seawater gets almost sickening at times, and he swears he can smell gunpowder in his bed when he wakes up. However, Silver does not believe in ghosts. It must be all the change, he convinces himself.

At some point, the shadow stops being a shadow, and it's a person. In the corner of his eyes, just for a moment, he swears someone is standing next to him, or sitting at the dining table, always looking at him.

Then whispers come through. It sounds like someone calling to him. He can never tell, and it must just be his imagination.

He finds a letter from his great grandfather, explaining the history of this place. Built in 1734, a pirate lived here supposedly. Obviously, he thought, this is a pirate town after all. With the note is a ring and it looks old. Like, really old.

He puts it on, and the weight of it seems... different.

Immediately after, he hears from behind him in a thick London accent, gravely and irritated, "Fucking took you long enough."

Reposting this spicy art of Saf and Orchid I did last year in honor of Valentine's Day, and because I adore them.

Orchid belongs to and is wonderfully written by @thefirstperished.

Okay this one was actually super difficult

[ancientbygone]

and everything that's here is rising in tone and saturation it's an aching, it's a violence, it's a longing to erase the separation

a companion piece to Cicadas, of sorts. closeups under the cut:

And I know The gods will Abandon The heavens just To find us

you ever just find an album that you listen to a million times it just fills your chest and heart and head and yeah it might not match the muse you're writing but it just??? inspires you so much

Meyakinkanmu membalas cintaku

Haruskah ku mati karenamu?

Terkubur dalam kesedihan sepanjang waktu

I’m the midst of burnout earlier this month I found solace through the songs of my younger years

[emahriel]

idk how you feel about this kinda music but my nerdy ass was just listening to sleep token and their song “chokehold” was giving me all of the fjorn and astarion feels i didn’t know existed in me!! what have you done!!

Oh my god don't get me STARTED- you have found my weakness. I love Sleep Token, I love their songs' lyrics and Chokehold's are!!! YES. I mean even just Fjorn as an individual, his relationship with the sovereign he used to serve could be summed up by these lines:

I come as a blade A sacred guardian So you keep me sharp and test my worth in blood

Fjorn and Astarion both trying to accept their flaws but show each other that there is yet hope for a better future as long as they're able to put behind the years of suffering they've gone through and set aside their differences. And while they both promise to look after one and another and protect each other, I do think Astarion being more power hungry than him would sometimes get in the way and prevent Fjorn from being there for him the way he would...

So show me that which I cannot see Even if it hurts me Even if I can't sleep Oh, and though we act out of our holy duty to be constantly awake You've got me in a chokehold
