this is my truth

[magnolia-sunrise]

the halloween special, i mean, Medieval AU continues>> the arrival of the grievously wounded Kingsguard disrupts Bastien's very isolated, very drunk rural village life - but in much different way than he expected. somehow, miraculously, Wolfgang slowly recovers, and the two of them spend many evenings sharing wine and stories by the fireside, finding each other to be pleasant company.

but how long will the vampire be able to resist the call of the priest's blood >:3

Y'know, I've always been fond of "pest animals" myself. Coyotes in particular—even when everyone's against us, nothin' is gonna keep us down. We're adaptable! : )

Remind me to tell you about it the next time I come across a rat.

(SEMI) CHARMED KIND OF LIFE: EPISODE 3 POST CREDITS BONUS SCENE, PART III - “GENESIS IN BLACK”

Transcript Below.

MAX: You’re shorter than me, you have no room to call anybody a hobbit, Smurfette.

GEMMA: When I get down from here you’re getting turned into a rat too! MAX: If you can get down from there, why do you need me to call off “Lurch”? [he smirks smugly, perking a brow in her general direction.] 

WOLFGANG: [As Gemma continues to struggle in her attempt to free herself, he tips his head to the side thoughtfully as if he’s suddenly noticed something, setting her down perhaps not as gently as he could have before he leans in to get right in her face, narrowing his eyes into an uncomfortably keen gaze that catches her off guard a little.] Huh…

GEMMA: Ec– Hey. Excuse you? [She blinks a few times in utter confusion, leaning back a little bit to put some distance between them.] Is there a reason you’re invading my bubble or –?

WOLFGANG: [Snickering with a roll of his eyes, he shakes his head at her question, turning around momentarily and reaching out to grab her phone out of Max’s hand before he offers it back to her.] I guess I have to call you something besides killer-bait now.

GEMMA: Because you suddenly remembered that I have an actual name? Did I accidentally kick you in the head or something?

WOLFGANG: Because your eyes are green, smart-ass. Like… there’s some brown there, but still, mostly like dark green.

GEMMA: [Not quite sure what to say to that, she just stares at him silently between more confused blinks, freezing up like a deer in headlights.]

What are the chances. Seriously, most of the time this sort of thing happens in movies. The other 2% is done as an elaborate hit with the help of some tech whiz, but he digresses. To be trapped in an elevator is like winning a state raffle or actually losing a needle in some haystack. And to top it all off? He’s never been fond of confined spaces. There’s no looming claustrophobia, but there is a distinct discomfort. It shows in the set of his shoulders. How he presses the emergency button twice despite being told that help is on the way over the crackly speaker.

“What are the chances?” He says aloud this time. The heel of a palm presses gently against his right eye to help alleviate some pressure. It hardly helps.

I think think they’d ACTUALLY DO IT!!!

[fuckyeahvanhalen86-95]

Wolfgang Van Halen has shared the latest single from Mammoth WVH’s upcoming album, Mammoth II, titled Take a Bow – notable for being the longest song he’s recorded so far, with some very special gear choices.

Namely, Take a Bow was put together with the help of Eddie Van Halen’s legendary Frankenstein electric guitar, as well as one of the original Marshall amp head and cab combos that informed the sound of Van Halen’s early years.

It’s a song that Mammoth WVH fans have been patiently waiting for ever since the band’s leader revealed such historic equipment would have a cameo on Mammoth II during a conversation with Guitar Interactive earlier this year.

Brought out of the Van Halen gear vault for the track’s solo, the Frankenstein is wielded impeccably by its custodian for Take a Bow’s guitar solo, which crops up around the halfway mark during the seven-minute song.

Remarkably, its presence can not only be heard but felt. A handful of wailing bends announces its arrival, before some lithe pentatonic licks lure listeners in for the main fretboard firework show.

As you’d expect, Wolfgang further channels the tones and techniques of his late father by rifling through two-hand tapping licks aplenty, each passage increasing in urgency and technicality as the solo speeds along.

Understandably, Van Halen said he felt the solo turned out “really special,” and said it made him happy to “capture some of dad’s history on this song forever.”

“It was the last song we finished. It’s officially the longest song I’ve released to date, and I feel the guitar solo is really special,” he said of Take a Bow. “I played the solo on the original Frankenstein guitar and through Dad’s original Marshall head and one of the original cabinets.”

“It’s straight up what he used on the earliest Van Halen records. It makes me happy to capture some of Dad’s history on this song forever.”

During his previous conversation with Guitar Interactive, Van Halen spoke of Take a Bow beyond the spotlight-stealing gear choices, describing the song as an “evolution.”

“That moment when I came up with it was like, ‘Okay, this is one of those evolutions,’” he reflected. “This was not on the first album, and this is a new side of myself that I think you start to unravel and see as time goes on.”

“That’s a really special moment. I think it’s one of the more special things I’ve recorded with Mammoth. I’m very excited for people to hear it.”

On the gear front, it’s not the first time the Frankenstein has been used on a Mammoth WVH track – Wolfgang also recruited his father’s Holy Grail guitar for his first studio album – nor will it be the only guest gear to cameo on Mammoth II.

While documenting the album’s recording process, Wolfgang also shared pictures of the other guitars that would be making it on to the tracklist. That collection includes the radically modified Gibson SG from Dirty Movies and a Veilette Citron Shark baritone guitar.

Mammoth II – which has been previewed with Another Celebration at the End of the World and Like a Pastime – is available to preorder now ahead of its August 4 release.

' YOU MAKE A VERY TEMPING OFFER, but you see the only problem with your plan is that I'm already in bed and going out with you means I have to get out of this said bed. you see where I'm going with this yes? ' propped up on their elbows the poor locksmith makes a sad attempt at rubbing the sleep from their eyes as they struggle to adjust to the harsh light filling the room. with no awareness of the time, he suspected he had only managed to sleep for an hour or so before the other had barged into the room. a devilish grin eating away at their cheeks only meant one thing, that @enfate was plotting something and they weren't about to let them go unattended. ' YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE TO OFFER MORE than just a few drinks wolfgang, if you want me to come with you. '

WAIT that's when they pick up smoking??? OUGH. okay. okay wait did they just have a match and cigarette on hand to light bastien's and accompany them that's fucking. fruity (or if i missed smthin pls feel free to correct me hglkhfldgd)

AAAHhhgg okay okay i was gonna make a separate post about it for the Wolfgang Wednesday so this is a great opportunity for me to talk about it, thank you!!

SO. the context behind the events of the comic (that i decided would drag down the script and left them at just *implied by dialogue and details*) is that Wolfgang has been trailing Bastien for weeks before this meeting and very much carefully prepared for it.

first they genuinely wanted to repay the favor of Bastien de facto saving their life, second they feel genuine remorse for how they acted and how they left things before (Bastien dressed their wounds at knife point, with Wolfgang not saying much other than threats and leaving without a word, not to mention the scar they left them with. despite this Bastien never went to the cops about it).

first they needed to track him down - fortunately the word of the clinic travels fast within their circles, and from there they have been watching Bastien for a while: noting down his schedule, who he meets and where, where he lives, who he dates, his habits. all as part of checking out who this guy even is, if they can be trusted, and to help Wolf figure out a plan of how to approach him.

they adjust their appearance to be.. a bit less intimidating (no high heels :( ), and they try out smoking beforehand to practice the movements. they rely on their beauty and charm to help smooth out the rest.

and so not only they show up at exactly the time when Bastien would be leaving the clinic and having his last cigarette of the day, they are there already smoking. very normal very casual. it's actually a stroke of luck Bastien doesn't have his lighter at hand, and they can light his cigarette for him, it's a nice unforced interaction and simple favor so they latch onto that opportunity.

when i was scripting this, the goal was this dance of push and pull - Wolfgang pushing into his personal space and trying to see how far he would let them, Bastien pulling away, Wolfgang changing their approach on the fly and trying again until they find their way in.

they both leave that meeting a lot more interested in each other than they expected to be (especially Wolf, who mostly just expected to complete their apology errand).

smoking itself doesnt really do much for Wolfgang, but the motions, the ritual of it is something they retain as a form of easy, casual interaction at first that of course grows into something different entirely over the years : )

@vendettamuses SAID:

It’s a bit strange to see. While Willhelm isn’t the most active member of the agency on his best days, he seems especially hesitant to move around now. The chill of new spring dawn permeates the air, and under his breath, he mutters about “that damn spring cold” making his joints hurt. He sulks further behind his morning paper, only peering up to greet Jean with a “mornin’. Your pills and coffee are on your desk.”

SPONTANEOUS INTERACTIONS || ALWAYS ACCEPTING

Jean was more than glad that winter was finally over. Sure, if someone asked, he'd say he preferred winter over summer, but he despised the way the cold nipped at his skin. Hated how his lungs burned with every smoke. Then there was the matter of the damned hole in his glove...

He'd told himself time and time again to patch it or find another pair.Yet here he was, still absentmindedly thumbing the ripped seams whilst his hands buried themselves in his coat pocket for warmth.

Still hunched over as he stepped into the warmth of the Agency building. He gave a quick nod to Sushi as he passed by reception, avoiding most of the lobby's idle chatter as he dipped into the shared office. Tired eyes raised tp focus on the desk opposite to his, hopeful in finding his companion sat there. And there he was... sort of. Dark hair poked out from behind the newspaper. Grizzled features lay obscured by walls of printed text. The sight was welcomed, but different. Dark brows furrowed as he stepped over, allowing gloved fingers to grasp at the top edge and pull it down just enough to find Willhelm's sulked figure.

"What's got into you?" A pause. That was harsher than it needed to be. Especially with Willy. "... Are you feeling alright?"

Clouded blues fell to the idly moving hand just beside the officer's side. The way it'd crept down and pressed at his knee. Caught the way the senior's expression twinged as he brushed it off, mumuring about the weather and his 'old bones'. Jean sighed and wordlessly stepped away from the desk, holding up a hand before vanishing from the office once more. Coffee remained untouched. Pills remained in place. And there were a good few moments of terse silence before the satellite officer returned.

When he did come back, he moved to step around the desk, pausing only for a moment to gauge the other's reaction, before pushing the chair to spin outward. Spin toward him. One hand rest on the worn fabric, and the other gripped a damp rag. Jean nudged Willhelm's hand out of the way, letting his touch linger as he pressed the compress to his pant leg. It was warm.

"Keep that there until it cools off, hm?" Another pause. "... and thank you. For the coffee."

I should stop reading example sentences on Duden. Like, who calls their mother "Mutti"?

[pansyparkinsvn]

Now noticing who she’d crossed paths with, Pansy instinctively positioned herself in front of James, despite the situation no longer being hostile. Luckily, her soothing had been successful, and the child’s cries settled to quiet gargles, allowing for an easier conversation between her and her former intruder. “They say children are the best at reading people,” Pansy quipped, shrugging a shoulder. “You scared me enough, anyway.”

Wolfgang couldn’t help but grin at the sight of the pair as he approached. The more time he and Felix had spent in Alexandria, the more often he found himself thinking about her. He still really wanted to know her name. Now that the pair had officially moved in, Wolfgang had been walking the perimeter, trying to learn the layout from the inside, and of course, hoping to run into her. He’d had a feeling they’d cross paths again, and was glad he was right. “Ah, hallo again, you two. It seems I am scarier than I thought.” He nodded toward James, noticing the toddler was crying again.
