and i want to know what would happen if i surrender to the sound

chapter one: sentiment’s the same but the pair of feet change

9,582 words | explicit | chapter 1/8

pairings: viago/rook, lucanis/rook, rook/other rook, viago/teia, general polyamorous madness

Viago can get himself together to go on stage; something about being behind a bass, he can hold it in front of himself like a shield, pretend that he's not surrounded by people. There’s the stage lights and the sound, and somehow this is enough for him to forget about the audience altogether, to imagine that he is still fucking around in his garage, playing for the hell of it, playing out of habit, or something. Something other than what it is.

Read on AO3

Rooks&Crows is either Treviso's next indie darling, a disaster waiting to happen, or Thedas's most musically inclined polycule. Possibly (definitely) all of the above. Their lineup: an uptight bassist, a chaos-magnet guitarist, a hopeless romantic keyboardist, a drummer who's trying very hard not to fall in love with everyone, and a lead singer who's trying to hold them all together.

FINALLY – I am so excited to present the first full chapter of the Veilguard band AU that @mxssful and I are working on. This is one of two "main" stories planned in the series; moss is writing the other one (and it's so good you guys, I am dying, it's so good and I'm so excited for it), which will focus more on Rosa, the band's chaos gremlin guitarist.

I owe so many thanks to people on this: @mxssful for obvious reasons, but also @inquisimer, @effelants and @crabs-with-sticks for so much cheerleading and listening to me ramble. Honestly so many people gave me words of encouragement or advice on this and I can't list everyone – y'all are so great, I don't even have words.

A very, very special shout-out to @idoltina for being my beta on this chapter.

I'm knitting in the corner at a party

and guys my age stop by to tell me I remind them of their aunt, of their grandmother. This is a compliment and I take it as such. They confess to having tried crochet once, and I smile. They get back in line for the bathroom.

I'm knitting in the corner at a party and a queer woman sits on the floor next to me, arranges her skirt, and smiles up at me. (I try not to blush.) She asks me all the questions on her mind about my craft and I answer them, hands still moving. We swap yarn sources. She doesn't stay, but she knows where to find me.

I'm knitting in the corner at a party and everyone knows where to find me when they need a minute, when socializing is too much and the music is too loud and they need to catch their breath. They pretend to be checking in on me, which is sweet, but I can see the relief in their eyes the moment they stop performing for a house full of people. They sit down and tell me things and all the while they never take their eyes off my hands.

The party has wound down and I'm still knitting and the hosts, two guys in their twenties, thank me for "helping to curate the vibe." I had no idea that's what I was doing. I leave the party having forgotten to drink anything and without that woman's number but with many rows added to my top-down raglan sweater. I call it a night, and a good one.

I was gonna say I’m glad tumblr became a lot more of a civil website with less petty discourse but its also the website where people unironically call feminists terfs and tone police women who criticize men so you win some you lose some I guess lol

It's been talked about to death and back but. JSchlatt joining the DSMP, only ever logging on for lore purposes, playing a fan fucking tastic villain that was an absolute joy to watch on screen, equal parts menacing/intimidating and goofy, completely stealing the show and perfectly matching the silly-but-serious energy of the lore up to that point, doing that for 1 season that I still think is one of the most impossibly coherent and thematically powerful pieces of roleplay media to date, and then having his character die after he'd run his course and never logging on again. was completely fucking legendary. He knew exactly what he needed to do and he did it flawlessly then left.

What was that really beautiful wording used to describe characters I like— ah that’s it, sad sacks of issues. That’s this guy right here

[pixlokita]

I was crying from pain at the emergency room and the nurses were bitching about me not dying so they couldn’t help right away even if I kept passing out and had been there for a long time, this sweet old Russian lady who was also admitted since earlier stood up and walked next to me and kept comforting me and asking how I was holding up, she kept checking in on me and being so sweet and going around asking if everyone was doing ok or just distracting family members of patients with nice conversations. She called out the doctors and nurses for not caring, she sat next to me and kept making sure I was ok and then gave me her phone number when she got discharged so I’d follow up with her. Honestly my day coulda been hell today but this one lady made it so bearable it’s not going to be remembered as a bad horrible traumatizing time, I got to meet an actual angel and I’m so happy about it.

Some of y'all trying to encourage empathy for these unethically wealthy people, who agreed to be bolted in to a metal tube, that was unapproved, unsafe and was controlled by a fucking off brand playstation controller from 2011 just for a cute lil death tourism trip is why we as a society will never be free.

They went to a part of the ocean that is so deep, more people have been to space than that far down. With a man who said safety shouldn't be a concern. Oceangate literally fired someone for saying that the window wasn't going to be able to withstand those depths. They'd lost another vessel before for 5 hours. Like plllsss the self preservation left the room. This whole situation is absurd.

Even this man's own stepson doesn't give a FUCK and you want me to? Nuh uh you have the wrong one I'm afraid😭😭

have you heard of among us, candlebearer? you need to vent

[Danny's attempt #58 trying to get the pack to admit they're werewolves] Danny: You wanna tell me something, cutie? Isaac: What? Danny: The fact that you've got fucking glow-in-the-dark stickers for eyes? Isaac, panicking and blurting out: I accidentally drank the glow stick liquid when I was a kid. Danny: ?????

apparently pjotv twt was being weird about book!Percy's eyes being green because they don't think the ocean can be green (???) so consider this a sequel to my Grace siblings eye colors post and here is some visual references of green water for all your Percy inspo needs:

And for reference, the water around New York-ish where Percy is usually is somewhere around this color:

or some alternatives:

or here is a nice hazel green if you want his eyes more on the brown side, which is very common in freshwater ponds and streams:

or if you want him to have totally brown eyes - water rich in tannins will appear brown, greenish-brown, or very dark brown - this is sometimes called "blackwater" due to often appearing very dark or having low visibility:
