[wearethekingdom]

okay so I know we’ve caught up a bit but honestly, I feel like I don’t know much about how things have been with you lately and I feel bad low key :( because I’d really like to know about your life! so, what’s new with you? Doesn’t have to be anything big, but just, how’s life been lately? Are you on summer break? (I don’t know how things work outside of America </3) Have you seen any new movies or read any books or played any video games lately? This is an invitation to info dump about literally anything that interested you lately too btw :3

Omg hey bro so how you fix the problem is by messaging me /lh like if you just wanna talk about your and my life then you can message me asking and stuff, I have a friend on here and we literally just chat about our lives for like 4 hours at a time

ummmm so I went to sleep away camp or whatever ygs call it in the US for 3 weeks, its an Irish spoken one so you know I ate that up, volunteered for the youth club camp and lost a child at a theme park while doing so (we found him, he was fine) and got some horse riding back in cuz I missed out on like 5 weeks of training lol

With movies I haven't watched a whole lot cuz I've literally had like. No time. I'm seeing the Kneecap movie tomorrow with my bf which I'm very excited about and I'm gonna see I Saw The TV Glow on Monday with some friends even though it's showing kind of late at the cinema (7:45pm), tbh I'm going in completely blind with but people say it's good so I'm simply just going to watch it. I've also rewatched alot of matt damon movies because why wouldn't I? I'm still his number one fan, currently watching The Martian as we speak which I've never actually watched before, kind of disturbing but it's okay because again, it's matt damon!

What I said all those months ago about my partner will need to fight for me when it comes to matt damon? I still hold to it. Guess who my bf looks like 😐 you will never guess its totally unpredictable 😐

I have readdd The Twelfth Day of July by Joan Lingard, it's a book about this guy and girl and the guy is a cath and the girl is a protestant and how they hate eachother and its really good, I love it a lot. I also read all of Diane Olivers short stories while at irish camp, they're really good and I totally reccomend her stuff, I think you would like some of her more scary short stories, a lot of her stuff is unpublished though cuz she was died at age 22 and she really needs more recognition, like when I looked up her most famous story I couldn't even find her other stuff at all.

Games I played Alan Wake about this guy (who is an author) who goes on holiday to this island and his wife goes missing so Alan has to investigate it while this story that he doesn't even remember writing becomes a reality, there's a second one I just haven't played it yet. I played The Quarry about a group of young adult camp counsellors who have to stay one day extra before they get to go home but there's creepy stuff on the property that wants to kill them and it's so good my fave character is my profile picture, we love Dylan Lenivy.

THENNN I played A Way Out with my brother set in the same prison as Shawshank Redemption, these 2 criminals set a plan to escape prison and get their revenge on the guy who murdered one of the mens brothers and well the other one kind of gives away the whole story so I won't go into detail on that one but it's depressing, it's a little disturbing and you get attached to Leo and Vincent the main guys.

Ive just been chilling this last month before school starts again and hanging out with my friends, I was going to go to NI for a while but there's protests and people setting streets on fire so I'm not going anywhere near there for now.

But yeah that's my life, you should totally reblog this with your telling of your life I would love to hear about it!!!

[chuuyascumsock]

SNOOKUMS ❤️❤️

Dw, id never leave you pookers ;)

and stopp im going to squeak 😫

aw eddsworld sounds rlly sweet, im def going to check it out now :D

AND OMG WE TOTALLY WOULD MAKE THE BEST ANALOG HORROR TAPES???? FUCK I LOVE THEM SO MUCH- the world knew we'd be too powerful together and thats why we've never met 🥺 but im so scared to go camping, ive never properly camped before so i like... dont know how it works?? idk, i feel like id be too scared to sleep because of everything- or like id be thinking too much 😭😭

fr like if i met all my moots id def be way too powerful and giddy, like one of those tiny pomeranians that are always bouncing and yapping at everything 🥰🥰

oo how was the movie? we are def connected bc i saw an ad for that movie earlier today AND THEN I SAW YOU POSTING ABOUT IT???

damn :(( I hope you and libby have a good time w teagan, and fr AND DEF DONT LET A MAN COME BETWEEN NO ONE ESP IF THEYRE BEING MEAN TO LIBBY? i dont know her but she sounds awesome from what you've said and the fact that she's good friends w you must mean she is an amazing person ❤️💐 HI LIBBY IF YOU'RE READING THIS HOPE YOU KNOW THAT IM SURE YOU'RE AMAZING AND IGNORE ALL THE STINKERS !!!

dw babe ill eat all the stinkies 😋

and theres no bears where i live apart from in zoos T-T but dw ill say hi to the wild horses for you 😘😘

BUT YES OMG THE TIPS LOOK SO PRETTY?? IT WORKED SO WELL GIRL !! NAD AGAIN I LOVE YOUR JEWLLERY???

(me on the right and you on the left 😋🥰💐)

Hi hi ^^ the movie was so good (I didn’t even watch the first one and I watched the second right after the prequel so it’s a mess lol). Dinner with Teagan, Libby, and other friends also went well. They went to the store after and I went home cause I was eepy and also wanted to get some stuff done, so I’m just sitting in bed.

Don’t worry about camping, the only thing you need to make sure is that you don’t walk into any insect nests or animal territories or you’ll learn that it’s not fun 😌 (I walked into a nest of yellow jackets as a kid and I came out looking bad, it was a whomp). Other than that, I’d say you’re good. Don’t use poison ivy as toilet paper either, that would suck I’d assume 😋

And horses? Dang, if only I was there, I’d know how to ride them (I was forced to take horse riding lessons when I was in middle school and I hated every second of it, hurray to the second place award I won once though for having a horse that listened to me though lol). Just imagine, this could’ve been us:

[yeahiwasintheshit]

watched this movie? doc? idk.. something called 'mondo new york' and man it was a mess. when i saw it i thought it was like a doc about the underground scene of the late 80s in new york, and it kind of is, but its not really a doc. its just a string of scenes from new york in the late 80s, which in itself sounds pretty good, but its kinda lame. like you start off just following this young girl, and she is the viewers kinda guide. where she goes we go. but she never talks or even talks to other people, we are just kinda watching what shes watching. in theory its sounds promising, but it just ends up being boring. and i think they wanted to be like provocative and edgy or something, so we see some fucked up shit like not one, not 2 but a few animal deaths, or maybe its fake, i dont know. either way its not interesting.

we start off and shes at some gritty bar where a woman is performing a song, and at first im like ok this is interesting, but theres no narrator or any commentary, its just a record of this entire song of this persons performance. and its not good. then its like the girl guide just walks away and shes at some kind of maybe poetry slam or something, idk... this weird guy is at a mic and is talking about weird shit. ive been fast forwarding by this point. certainly through the song in the scene before, but this was also bad. this guy eventually takes out 2 live mice from his pockets, and then bites their heads off. it looks kinda real, i mean the mice are 100% real, but just before he bites both their heads off, he does drop his hand out of frame. so that made me think it was more staged than it kinda looked. personally i think its fake. but thats not the last animal death.

then she leaves this poetry thing, after the guy sets off fireworks in his shirt or something dumb. ohhh so edgy! we then go to a punk bar? skin head bar? idk its a room full of white dudes moshing around to punk music and this girl is there. i was also fast forwarding at this point. for no real reason. she then leaves.

she then is at washington square park (daylight now) and theres a comic with a fairly large audience, so i stop it and hes doing some bad comedy. speaking in like "white" waspy voice. i fast forward and stop and hes saying how black people are always late or something, and then saying how puerto ricans have lots of children. its the routine of the pre-internet hack comedian, but he was getting alot of laughs from the crowd. this part was real long! so i fast forwarded thru most of it as he was doing the jewish voice.

she then ends up in like a burnt out building and someone is shooting themselves up with drugs, and this was no joke. very clearly you see blood fill the syringe and he pushes it back. i was sick. there was some talking, but i didnt bother to listen. again i fast forwarded.

shes then talking to some poetry guy in the street, at night now. ummm. oh she ends up in some basement where theyre doing some kind of voodoo something. whats that religion called? santamaria? or whatever. idk all i know is that the guy bites the head off a chicken. this was 100% real, cause those wings were a flapping and blood was squirting and that chicken didnt have a head anymore, and it was in his mouth. i was sickened. but that was not even the last dead animal. ann magnussun shows up and does some bit i was fast forwarding thru, but it ends in her in some field where theres a dead horse and shes beating it with like a stick or something. get it... beating a dead horse. it was so lame, and trying so hard to be idk provocative? interesting? edgy? idk. i was bored, and eye rolling.

but that wasnt even the last animal in the movie being hurt. we also end up in a cock fight. but this thankfully didnt end in a dead animal. the 2 chickens were absolutely fighting, but they didnt have the razors on their claws. the one chicken was pecking blood out the head of the other, but they do make it a point to show both chickens alive at the end of the scene. so whatever

there were other scenes of other things happening, but nothing looked interesting enough to stop fast forwarding. until the end. the final song i stopped and it was actually pretty funny. i tried looking for it on yt, but couldnt find it. it was a drag queen singing a song, i think was called fuck you, and it was kinda funny. he had a sorta fred schneider kinda voice, so it was kinda entertaining. the rest of the movie left such a bad taste, it was a little hard to get over it lol

admittedly out of the whole run time, i prob watched only 35-40 mins of it. so maybe i not the best judge, but if youre reading this, then you know if this is something you care to even watch. i thought it was boring most of the time, and its attempts to be provocative or shocking were really kind dumb and not at all interesting. wow a dead animal... very edgelordy. the only sort of positive i can think of, is the sort of b-roll scenes of 80s new york. kinda cool to see the city and the people back then. i guess.

[sarahtheconjurer]

@ghosttmachine tagged me in a get to know you meme thing (tyyy!!)! So. Here i am posting for oncce lez goooo

Last song:

Technical answer is post traumatic blues by corey taylor, bc ive been using the spotify dj thing and it keeps giving me metal that i o ly kinda like. The funner answer was rhe barbie movie ost since me and my friends literally just got back from it n my friend mariana had me play it in the car. Not rlly my thing was catchy (barbie movie was good btw! Posts abt it being like. Not the deepest critique of social issues and the like are correct but it was a fun time w a lot of heart + rlly great production value + honestly. Very funny. And i watched it w two of my best friends so :})

Currently reading:

For books:

When the Angels Left the Old Country

I haven't touched it in a hot sec, but its a queer, historical fantasy ya book based in jewish folklorex about an angel and a demon that leave europe, after a girl goes missing from the village they've set up shop in. It's very light and whimsical which is not my usual fare, but I'm enjoying it! Its very heartfelt and the two main leads have very good chemistry. And its always cool to see angel/demon lore outside the usual christian sphere.

For manga: steel ball run (part 7 of jojos bizarre adventure) its. A story about a cross continental horse race to find the body parts of jesus. Which is the most coherent way i can put it. Im rereading it w two of my friends rn and im enjoying it! It isnt my favorite part, but its up there, and features some of the best stuff in the series. This is. Also a story featuring a pair of ride or die protagonists with a very strong dynamic and chemistry (honestly, best 'set' of protags in the series) and so much comes from their bond. Its at the point in the series where it started getting a monthly release and it shows, w some rlly gorgeous art. Gyro and Diego are highlights artwise because the former doesnt have a stand he just. Has these steel balls he spins and throws around, so you get very dynamic shots of him just. Chucking them that the author uses in super creative ways to lead the eye and compose panels and the latter. Can turn himself and other things into dinosaurs. Have you ever seen a dinosaur ride a horse? Its fucking sick. It also has some interesting themes of american imperialism and christianity, of all things, which i think are done, well in some respects, esp given the authors track record. IT ALSO HAS SOME OF THE WORST STUFF IN THE SERIES THAT MAKES ME WANT TO KILL HIM W HAMMERS.

Currently watching:

Nothing in particular, but ive got a p big to watch list (Trigun, mob psycho, etc) and i just watched the barbie movie, like i said.

Current obsession:

Guess. Take a guess.

Jfc jojos bizarre adventure is holding me at gunpoint. Its not good its not bad (besides when it is) it its own tier of media. I forgot how much 15 year old me was obsessed w it and so i foolishly rewatched it thinking id be. Normal. I was wrong. God. I've never seen anything like it! It's so clearly a passion project from someone who's very eccentric and so it goes from absurd and stupid and comedic to circling right back to being very human and poignant. Like, it's about love! And familial trauma! And prevailing in the face of great tragedy! And also killing the president because jesus told you so! It's got a myriad of flaws from technical writing issues to genuinely tasteless/bigoted content, so its not some untouchable media, but ive been enjoying it a lot.

Part 5 and 8 are my favorites for very different reasons.

Part 5, Golden Wind, is abt a bunch of weird mobsters on a roadtrip through italy to kill their boss. It has a very charming supporting cast who are a sort of found family of societal rejects, brought together by this guy named Bruno who acts as a leader + mentor + sort of dad? To them. They're all surprisingly fleshed out characters, esp for this early on in the series, and their group dynamic, combined w some of the best fights in the entire show, really sell this part. The main character and main villain are. Not good. Sans a few aspects. Tho. Like i forget giorno is there half the time. (Giorno is my beloved stale cracker of a character but hes MY stale cracke, tho)

Part 8, Jojolion, is uh. Hm. It follows this amnesiac dude who wakes up in the dirt, as he tries to piece together the person he was. It's set in an au version of the town from part 4, w some characters being spins on old ones. Its the most recent part, and it shows. Its a lot better structured, paced, and developed compared to earlier parts. The mystery running through it has a lot of fun twists and turns, the themes are coherent, and the pace is slow, but not meandering. The supporting cast is fun (the lead's romantic interest is an actually decent jojo woman and they have a very cute relationship, and the family the main character is sort of adopted into are all fucking insane) but the real draw for me was the main character. Josuke (the second. Theres another josuke from an alternate universe in part 4, anyway) is probably my favorite jojo. I could go on about him, but compared to the others, he feels the most real? Theres this very grounded sense of frustration abt him as he tries and fails to piece together who he is, while everyone around him seems to have somethimg they need from him, or an idea of who he SHOULD be. He isnt a hero, he isnt even all that noble, hes just trying to find himself and if anyone out there loves him. He's blunt, one track minded, and is doing the jojo equivalent of spamming x to skip through all the dialogue bc hes not here for anyones shit beside his own. Jojolion somehow captures the feeling of being a weird, displaced pseudo adult trying to piece yourself together, while everything Keeps Fucking Happening. I love it so much. But by god does the ending suck hoooooly shit oh my god dude jesus christ. Fucking. I hate tohru i hate tohru i hate tohru fjcjendnxzlzm. Anyway jobin sweep

OTHER OBSESSIONS INCLUDE OCS AND DND.

Im currently running a csm tabletop n curse of strahd game, and am in a ravenloft game. They're all very different but i love them all.

Ravenloft game is a sort of sequel to the curse of strahd game i was in a while bsck

I play pageturn (kenku paladin) and coda (changeling flavored as fallen angel, bard). Ones a 13 year old w a kill drive going through a double crisis of faith while somehow being the heart of the group and the others a shapeshifting corrupted celestial, whos trying to find themself. we are currently exploring the fomain the latter was imprisoned in and have found the eye of vecna and. I am. Excited and concerned for what our wonderful dm has cooked up.

Chainsaw Man game is a high stakes office drama following the worst group of devil hunters youve ever seen. Its more episodic and light than my other games which is a nice change of pace, and i rlly like the energy our group brings to the table. I am always horrified and surprised by whatever new government supplied human rights violation they commit next! Every character is uniquely sad, while still maintaining the token csm dark comedy abt them. We are currently revisiting a mystery allll the way back from our first session and im stoked for some stuff i have planned.

Sippy Crew (curse of strahd game) is drawing to a close and ahh i could make a whole post abt how much these guys mean to me. Its been a joy dming for this group of freaks and watching as they come together not into a found family, but a group of distinctly doomed, but fiercely loyal individuals. They've had two pc deaths, even more close calls, and have lost so much, but they're pushing through like dandelions in concrete. Its genuinely the most emotionally invested ive been in a ttrpg, and am so excited, to see their journey come to a close, and will miss them dearly.

Both jojo and ttrrpgs have been a way to reconnect with friends i dont usually talk to as much, and strengthen the bonds of the friends that i do, which is why theyve hit so hard, haha.

anwyaY this turned out way longer than it needed to be bUt.

@turtleslothart @500sunstone you. Do this.

oo let me see the suIT (priv ask ofc ur wanting to share!) what colour is it??? i love getting suits but i hate the process of choosing them

[babybluelove2]

i have playlists and they r shorter than i want them to be cus my music taste is v tumblr teen girl disaster but. but! i can contribute

warning this got so long proceed w caution

richie:

i dont wanna be funny anymore ~ lucy dacus

I don't wanna be funny anymore / Lately I've been feeling like the odd man out / I hurt my friends saying things I don't mean out loud

short excerpt but there really is no explanation needed at all

~

soap ~ melanie martinez

I think I left the faucet running / Now my word are filling up the tub / Darling, you're just soaking in it / But I know you'll get out the minute / You notice all your fingers pruning up ... Let me under your skin / Uh oh, there it goes / I said too much it overflowed / Why do I always spill? / I feel it coming out my throat / Guess I better wash my mouth out with soap / God, I wish I never spoke / Guess I better wash my mouth out with soap

this song is basically just richie in his head after feeling anything romantic whatsoever. hes so afraid of going too far and he thinks he is unlovable which is stupid but whatever

~

bad astrology ~ flower face

I wish I didn't hate myself so much / Now my body's out of touch again / It doesn't get me any closer / Just to hold you in my mind anymore / When I lock the door, well, ha-ha-ha ... Baby, take it easy, nobody's crying for you ... Baby, take it easy, nobody's dying for you

this whole song is exactly how i view him but its on a deeper level than we get to know him in the movie. this song is him as ive gotten to understand him better and i know it is about an abusive relationship but its him self-destructing and pushing others away and hvvhuvicyxryhfytc although i think this can be combined with 2017 richie if u think about it in a certain light

~

venice bitch ~ lana del rey

And as the summer fades away / Nothing gold can stay / You write, I tour, we make it work / You're beautiful and I'm insane / We're American-made ... La-la-la-la-la-la, losers, beautiful losers / Wha-wha-wha-wha-wha-whatever, everything, whatever

i see this as a losers club song in general but its def from richies pov. and the ice cream line makes me think of that reddie scene from the 2017 movie

~

cherry ~ lana del rey

A touch / From your real love / Is like heaven takin' the place of something evil / And letting it burn off from the rush, yeah, yeah / (Fuck!) ... My celluloid scenes are torn at the seams / And I fall to pieces (bitch) / I fall to pieces when I'm with you

richie is such a hopeless romantic but in a more internal way than ben. ugh cherry is so him i dont even have the words to explain why. also the swearing in the backing vocals?? do i have to go on??

~

mirrorball ~ taylor swift

I want you to know / I'm a mirrorball / I can change everything about me to fit in / You are not like the regulars / The masquerade revelers / Drunk as they watch my shattered edges glisten ... And they called off the circus, burned the disco down / When they sent home the horses and the rodeo clowns / I'm still on that tightrope / I'm still trying everything to get you laughing at me / And I'm still a believer, but I don't know why / I've never been a natural, all I do is try, try, try / I'm still on that trapeze / I'm still trying everything to keep you looking at me

sorry that is such a long excerpt from the song but i couldnt find anything to cut its all so him. personally i think mirrorball is overused in describing characters but richie is literally a cookie-cutter-perfect mirrorball character w him hiding behind the voices and whatnot. a little stozier too cus i am a firm believer that richie hides parts of himself he doesnt want to burden the other losers with based off of misplaced ideas about his role in the group but can not hide from stan. i want you to know is to stan

~

angel landing ~ pretty sick

It's been too long for me to tell you / Something so out of line / But I'll just keep it to myself ... I wish I could speak and have you understand me / I wish I could be without an angel landing ... Some problems are never to be resolved / As neither one o us lives long enough / To see the other give in / Is love so clear? / Is it not distorted? / Like the way that you look at yourself in the mirror / And the way you look in person

this is one of my favorite songs ever. i think saying this song is bill is kind of a shallow take especially when it fits richie so much better. he hides behind all these fake personas because he is so afraid of who he is when there really is no need for him to be cus he is such an amazing person

~

kill v. maim ~ grimes

I got in a fight, I was indisposed / I was in despite all the wicked prose / But I'm only a man / And I do what I can ... B-E-H-A-V-E arrest us / Italiana mobster looking so precious, uh / B-E-H-A-V-E never more / You gave up being good when you declared a state of war / Eh, oh, don't behave, oh don't behave, oh ... You're goin' to the party and you're goin' to the show ... I did something bad, maybe I was wrong / Sometimes people say that I'm a big time-bomb ... The fire hurts alright / The people touch it / I can't touch it, even though it's mine

its the vibes so the vibes. this is richies theme song to me even if nobody gets it. grimes is so messy in lowk a way i love and the lyrics dont really make sense and it is just so richie. didnt she say that this song was from the perspective of al pacino in the godfather part ii if he was a vampire who can travel through space and switch genders? anyway richie

honorable mentions : soap~melanie (a classic reddie song from richies pov), nurses office~melanie (i see people putting this as an eddie song cus of the name but really its richie), superstar~angel landing (self-destructing loser stop it)

eddie:

vampire banquet ~ fox academy

(there is lots of repetition in this song this is just the general idea) Ivory ceilings / Burgundy walls / There's blood I can feel it / As we float through the halls / And when you bite my skin / The whole room gets dim / Vampire banquet / And we're never gonna make it / We're locked in a room / There's no getting out

this is a v claustrophobic and trapped feeling song that reminds me of eddie in how he is so afraid in exactly the way the song is scary and still somehow manages to be brave. i have lots of thoughts on this but i will leave it at that

~

oblivion ~ grimes

I never walk about after dark / It's my point of view / 'Cause someone could break your neck / Coming up behind you / Always coming and you'd never have a clue ... I need someone else / To look into my eyes and tell me "Girl you know you've gotta watch your health" / To look into my eyes and tell me / La la la la la

the above excerpt xrtcyvubin eddie eddie eddie ok. important explanation cus i was iffy and it feels neccessary. grimes wrote oblivion about her sexual assault so it is a vulnerable song and i dont want to take away any meaning from that but i think different interpretations of songs allow for music to have meaning to listeners as much as it does to the artist. oblivion has this paranoid resonance to it which feels v eddie. it is a terrified sort of helplessness that bleeds throughout the sound like he has no control over something bad he knows is going to happen to him or his friends

~

hug all ur friends ~ cavetown

Sing me a song, tell me your thoughts / I could listen to you all night long / And I don't care about my sleeping routine / I've fucked it up as it is, but we've got so much time to kill / As the night rocks me to sleep ... Life's too short / To worry about things we got wrong / So hug all your friends and let them know / You're not letting go / No, I won't let go, oh ... When the night turns cold my thoughts feel like stone / And it's nothing I can't change / But I can't breathe anymore / I forgot how to walk by myself / I could do with a little more of your help

i think people dislike cavetown but i only know like four of his songs and this one is in fact eddie kaspbrak coded so....eddie is just so caring and people seem to forget that. they need to stop doing that

~

recess ~ melanie martinez

I was too young / To see the truth / In my grandma's lap, I'm drowning in her perfume / Too naive to even care / 'Bout the words she whispered while she brushed out my hair ... When I get upset / I think in my head / "I do as she says" ... People gonna try / To tell you that you're fine with dollars in their eyes ... Don't let them hurt you, baby / Just say, "Recess, I'm tired"

the majority of this song just boils down to sonia fucking kaspbrak and her fucking w eddie's mind. that bitch

~

grow ~ conan gray

Yeah, I think I'm ready for / Running on concrete / Electricity / I finally can breathe / I think I'm ready for / Only you and me / We made it out, it seems / I made it out, it seems / I think I'm ready to / Grow, to grow / To grow, to grow / Yeah I see it comin', I see it comin' / Oh boy, I'm runnin' / And oh boy, I'm runnin', runnin'

after everything is said and done, this is eddie. this is eddie who he was meant to be. let him run let him run let him runrunrun

~

honorable mentions : another life~flower face (reddie love song from eddies pov), isobel~flower face (i cant tell if this song is so him or if it is the furthest thing from him ever), germaphobe~mim jensen (the name. its a shallow take but u can have it if u want)

stan:

birdhouse in your soul ~ they might be giants

I'm your only friend / I'm not your only friend / But I'm a little glowing friend / But really I'm not actually your friend / But I am ... Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch / Who watches over you / Make a little birdhouse in your soul / Not to put too fine a point on it / Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet / Make a little birdhouse in your soul

this fuckiniggfhaib song about a nightlight makes me think of stan every time it comes on. free me of my birdhouse-in-your-soul-stemmed stan brainrot please

~

mini alex g speed round

the same ~ alex g

I was a girl / I was the only kid in the world, I thought I knew / What it meant to you / But I'm wrong / I'm wrong, I'm wrong ... I'm not okay / In fact, I'm sick today, I'm on the floor / It's such a bore / It's nothing new to you ... I'll be downstairs, let me do my hair / And put my makeup on, it feels so wrong / You say "Rock on" / I'm not the same ... Too fast, too slow, too late / You are never gonna make it / You're never gonna make it

this song is obviously from the perspective of a girl but it is a girl who thinks the same way stan does. how he is so set on his world view but that gets messed up and it tears him apart. and the you he is talking about is richie. stozier best friends means the world to me

time/space ~ alex g

Hold on tight / To this time, this place / Cause everything you know / Will be erased / You were born / Inside your head / And that is where you'll be / When you are dead / You're just a boy / You are no man / And nobody you know / Will understand

same idea and my stan playlist is long and mostly characterizes him similarly throughout the songs so some of these explanations might be shorter even if all the songs are accurate enough that i feel the need to put them on this list

~

allen street ~ pretty sick

Out on Allen Street, it's 7 in the morning / If I help him up, will he give me fair warning? / Let me lick the wounds I got while I was out last night ... Nothing's gonna last forever / I feel better safe than sorry ... (tw!!) Cut myself up now, it makes me feel more holy

another song that reminds me of stans thought process. it's almost like he is trying to self-preserve but he is just terrible at it

~

void ~ melanie martinez

It's tastin' kinda lonely / And my mind wants to control me / Ah-ah-ah empty / There's rotten things left in me / Injected by society / No one here but me to judge me ... I fear I won't live to see the day tomorrow / Someone tell me if this is Hell ... Bloody, like a body that has died, and it's myself / Tangled in my own intestines

stans character arc and main barriers are all connected with his internal struggles. and his fear. the last bit of the lyrics i copied down put it so well

~

flower face!

sleeping season ~ flower face

Hey / Where'd you get those shadows on your face? / And promise you'll put flowers on my grave / You know I'm counting down the days / Wait / Our bitter hearts are made out of sand / Let me give you all the love that I have / Before it slips right through my hands ... Now this world's not right, they're breaking down your door / Why / Do you let them eat away at your mind? / Now you're walking like a dog in the night / But you look like an angel in the light

both the first and second person resonate with stan

spiracle ~ flower face

I want the parts of your hand-grenade heart / That beat slowly with anger and fear / I want the parts of you you only show / To the birds outside your bedroom window / I want the teeth that you lost as a child / That you hide in a box under your pillow ... I want your quiet, your screaming and thrashing ... I want your safe word, your passive resistance ... And I want your nightmares, the ghost in your doorway / Your paralyzed sleep and your *scream*

any of the losers to stan. the way she describes this second person feels v stan

october birds ~ flower face

Where'd the October birds go? / I used to watch them from the window / When I had eyes to see / When I was more like me ... But I've never seen a staircase without dreaming of falling ... And I haven't seen war, but I've tasted the sand / I've died five hundred times with your flag in my hand ... No man is an island, I'm the girl on your shoreline / Washed up and heaving, pathetically breathing

every time i find a stan-coded song with bird motifs a fairy gets its wings

~

lana del rey now cus i listen to so much lana

love song ~ lana del rey

We go fast, we go so fast, we don't move ... In your car, I'm a star, and I'm burnin' through you ... I'm a fuckin' mess, but I / Oh, thanks for the high life / Baby, it's the best, passed the test, and yes / Now I'm here with you, and I / Would like to think that you would stick around / You know that I'd just die to make you proud

stan to bill with how stan subtly highlights bill while still idolizing him in the way that all the losers do

blue velvet ~ lana del rey

She wore blue velvet / Bluer than velvet was the night / Softer than satin was the light / From the stars ... But when she left / Gone was the glow of / Blue velvet / But in my heart they'll always be / Precious and warm, a memory / Through the years / And I still can't see / Blue velvet through my tears

after the twenty-seven years the phone call when things were never the same. idk about anyone else but i felt stans absence and the losers did too

fingertips ~ lana del rey

Will I die? Or will I get to that ten-year mark? / Where I beat the extinction of telomeres? ... Will I have one of mine? / Can I handle it even if I do? / You said that I might / It's not fair or so they said / To carry a child / I guess I'll be fine ... It wasn't my idea the cocktail of things that twist neurons inside / But without them, I'd die / They say there's irony in the music, it's a tragedy / I see nothing Greek in it ... To get to you, save you if I take my life / Find your astral body, put it into my eyes / Give you two seconds to cry

a deeply personal and vulnerable song for lana and it fits with stan for whatever reason. the bit concerning uncertainties about having a kid and how it affected him and patty and how stan knew that he was the one that was preventing it from happening even if it wasnt consciously. and the rest of it is simply put sad.

~

last artist i swear: duster unfortunately w their depressing music

orbitron ~ duster

You know the clock is ticking down / And no one's in control / And though the orbit's all been planned / What happens when you launch it? / You're not the first to set foot here / Just another / And I know you're terrified / Like the rest of us

control. there is no control stan wants control he is scared because everything is so unexplainable

constellations ~ duster

Constellations / Put it to rest / Terror again / Horror in town / No sleep 'til then / Turn down the lights / Don't fuck around / No ins and outs

i don't really have to explain this one tbh

~

i want you ~ mitski

I want you / I hold one card / That I can't use / But I want you ... You're coming back / And it's the end of the world / We're starting over / And I love you, darling / And I am done, dear ... I found you / I found the door / But when I stepped through / There was no floor ... I want you

stan to bill stan to mike stan to the losers that he cares so much about but he feels like he will only hurt them by coming back. he cant do it he cares so much about them that he cant do it

off topic : the door line paints the picture of eddie falling through the floor in neibolt in my mind

~

honorable mentions : stars will fall~duster (this is a stan song there just isnt enough lyrics for me to justify properly putting it on this list), oh no!~marina (yeah), twilight~bôa (this song is about a love triangle basically but it just feels stan to me), poison tree~grouper (the poison tree growing in him metaphor just works for stan)

ben:

light shower ~ melanie martinez

You are the light I've been searchin' for forever / Feels like, man, I've really never felt the rain / Buried in the desert, didn't think / I'd push through the dirt ... You cranked the heat up, I was cold, my past grew mold around my heart / And all my anger, sadness, regret disappeared / It's madness, I'm not used to all this water, love, it's true

my ben playlist is short sadly but this song does such a good job at describing how the losers affected ben who is a deeply lonely character beautifully enough that it makes up for it. its the kind of loneliness that you dont recognize because you havent felt anything but. im pretty sure theres a whole passage in the book about it. the losers gave ben the community he needed and rsdtfyguhbibou

~

the state of dreaming ~ marina

Millions of girls float on that one quote / Living on their last hope, on their last hope / I live my life inside a dream, only waking when I sleep / I would sell my sorry soul if I could have it all ... All I really want is to be wonderful / People in this town they, they can be so cruel ... If only you knew my dear how I live my life in fear

i feel like i might have made this up so i apologize if i mixed up my characterization of ben somewhere with his mischaracterization in the recent movies but didn't he like to read like fiction? am i making this up? even if not this song is ben cause i feel like it is <3

~

pity party ~ melanie martinez

Why'd I put my heart on every cursive letter / Tell me why the hell no one is here / Tell me what to do to make it all feel better / Maybe it's a cruel joke on me / Whatever, whatever ... It's my party and I'll cry if I want to ... Maybe if I knew all of them well / I wouldn't have been trapped inside this hell that holds me

a pretty surface level song that again has the loneliness motif. i love the heart on every cursive letter line for ben though. love it so much it fits so well

~

honorable mentions : the other woman~ldr (low blow but feeling like the second choice), puppy love~ldr unreleased (its just so cute pure love awww hes so romance ytcgvuhbjn), cowboy like me~taylor swift (does this fit whatsoever? no. am i willing to bend the intended meaning to describe ben with a song called cowboy like me? absolutely)

bev:

I FORGOT ABOUT MY BEV PLAYLIST DESCRIPTION WHAT "effy stonem more tragic less tumblr with 10x more fiery fiona apple fury" someone please stop me i was evidently upset about the manic-pixie-dream-girl-ification of 2017 bev when making this playlist. effy stonem is foul

anyway

family tree (intro) ~ ethel cain

Jesus can always reject his father / But he cannot escape his mother's blood / He'll scream and try to wash it off of his fingers / But he'll never escape what he's made up of ... The Fates already fucked me sideways / Swinging by my neck from the family tree / He'll laugh and say, "You know I raised you better than this" / Then leave me hanging so they all can laugh at me

next! (sorry)

~

fast as you can ~ fiona apple

I let the beast in too soon / I don't know how to live without my hand on his throat / I fight him always and still ... I may be soft in your palm / But I'll soon grow hungry for a fight / And I will not let you win / My pretty mouth will frame the phrases / That will disprove your faith in man / So if you catch me trying to find my way into your heart / From under your skin / Fast as you can, baby / Scratch me out, free yourself ... Fast as you can, baby / Wait, watch me, I'll be out / Fast as I can, maybe late but at least about

long excerpt because this song is bev. fiona apple in general is so very beverly marsh this song is just the one that i think is the most her. i am a firm believer that bev would listen to fiona apple. also fuck tom rogan and her dad. beat them up bev! fight for yourself! i love you!

~

melanie martinez time bc i obviously listen to a lot of her

nymphology ~ melanie martinez

Call me your nymph / Praise me for martyr, praise me for sin / Call me your muse / A sprite or an elf you cry to, then use ... Auctioned to a selfish man who thinks that he's the prophecy ... I'm not fiction, I'm not fae, I won't lick your wounds today / But I'll throw you in the ring, gift you with my sufferin' ... Diamonds and rubies, the star in all the movies / Wears me out, big pockets, I am her favorite locket ... Where did I get refined, get my cuts and my polishes?

looking at this playlist it is kinda anti-men whoops <3 same idea i love strong female characters screw stephen king and his misogyny and bevs manic pixie dream girl persona ok? thats the biggest thing to get out of these songs

recess ~ melanie martinez

People gonna say / If you need a break, someone'll take your place / People gonna try / To tell you that your fine with dollars in their eyes / Just remember / Don't let them fuck you, honey, no, oh / Don't let them try / Don't let them hurt you, baby / Just say, "Recess, I'm tired" ... Where is my time? / Gone in my mind / Gone, I can't find / Euphoria

yes this song was also in eddies playlist but its a different interpretation for bev which u can tell from the lyrics i chose to copy down. dont have much of an explanation for this one i think its pretty self-explanatory

~

a burning hill ~ mitski

Today I will wear my white button-down / I'm tired of wanting more / I think I'm finally worn ... And I've been a forest fire / I am a forest fire / And I am the fire and I am the forest / And I am a witness watching it / I stand in a valley watching it ... So today, I will wear my white button-down / I can at least be neat / Walk out and be seen as clean

bev bev bev firstly the fire thing makes me think of her neibolt version but like in her own perspective. does that make any sense? she is the fire and the forest and a witness.

"I want to run towards something, not away!" she is tired of wanting more!! she wanted to run towards something but where did that get her !! its just easier to be seen as clean !! yuftuyig8yuvoug

~

miss lizzy grant!!

cinnamon girl ~ lana del rey

Violet, blue, green, red to keep me out / I win / There's things I want to say to you / But I'll just let you live / Like if you hold me without hurting me / You'll be the first who ever did ... Kerosene in my hands / You make me mad, I'm fire again

her to the losers. her to the losers her to the losers !!!!

mariners apartment complex ~ lana del rey

You took my sadness out of context / At the Mariners Apartment Complex / I ain't no candle in the wind / I'm the bolt, the lightning, the thunder / Kind of girl who's gonna make you wonder / Who you are and who you've been ... Don't look too far, right where you are, that's where I am / I'm your man ... They mistook my kindness for weakness / I fucked up, I know that, but Jesus / Can't a girl just do the best she can? / Catch a wave and take in the sweetness / Think about it, the darkness, the deepness / All the things that make me who I am ... When everyone's talking, you can make a stand

i ended bev with this song specifically because it showcases all the best parts of her character. she has so much to give and so much to help the world after everything. she wants to run towards something it is so important to her to make a stand

~

honorable mentions : cigarettes out the window~tv girl (tv girls music is lowk misogynistic so i couldnt put it on the playlist but it is the correct bev vibes), father~the front bottoms (low low blow after family tree i am not putting this in there), limp~fiona apple (an example of another fiona apple song that is v her)

mike:

some things cosmic ~ angel olsen

I promise you my word / If we should part / My dear, dear love / You know you're in my heart / And though I may be getting older / Know that I'm coming with you / Know that I'm hanging on to / The things that you said ... If cosmic force is real at all / It's come between you and I / I want to be naked / I don't mean my body / I don't mean my body / I'm floating away

mike is the last to join the group and the one who has to sit with the memories and bring them all back. the fact that the losers had enough of an impact on him for him to do that. mike in that twenty-seven years stuck without anything to do but wait. it makes me so sad. fucking bill denbrough with his undeniable leadership changing the trajectory of a bunch of kids lives forever

~

california ~ lana del rey

You don't ever have to / Be stronger than you really are / When you're lyin' in my arms, baby ... I wanted to reach out, but I never said a thing ... Oh, I'll pick you up / If you come back to America / Just hit me up / 'Cause this is crazy love ... You're scared to win, scared to lose / I've heard the war was over if you really choose / The one in and around you

mike is such a rock for the rest of the losers. his reliability and grounded-ness is the reason why he was undeniably the one who had to stay

~

father and son ~ johnny cash, fiona apple

You're still young, that's your thought / There's so much you have to know ... And I know that it's not easy / To be calm when you've found / Something going on / But take your time, think a lot / Why think of everything you've got? / For you will still be here tomorrow / But your dreams may not ... It's always been the same / The same old story / From the moment I could talk / I was ordered to listen / There's a way and I know that I have to go away

tyfuiopojihygufty i love this song when thinking of mike. he was so young! he had dreams and ambitions and heart and and. i know mikes dad is central to his storyline but i am 150 pages into this book i have barely met him yet i want to know howww

~

mitski for mikey <3

working for the knife ~ mitski

I always knew the world moves on / I just didn't know it would go without me / I start the day high and it ends so low / 'Cause I'm working for the knife ... I used to think I'd be done by 20 / Now at 29, the road ahead appears the same / Though maybe at 30 I'll see a way to change / That I'm living for the knife / I always thought the choice was mine / And I was right, but I just chose wrong / I start the day lying and end with the truth / That I'm dying for the knife

not exactly the 9-5 metaphor that the title suggests but more a contrast between what mike thought his adult life would be versus what it turned out to be. i love the i chose wrong line in this context

brand new city ~ mitski

I think my fate is losing its patience / I think the ground is pulling me down / I think my life is losing momentum / I think my ways are wearing me down ... I should move to a brand-new city / And teach myself how to die / Honey, what'd you take? What'd you take? / Honey, look at me / Tell me what you took? What'd you take?

i feel like im running this mike alone twenty-seven years thing dry. but this song. he should move to florida. not teach himself how to die tho

nobody ~ mitski

My God, I'm so lonely / So I open the window / To hear sounds of people ... Guess I'm a coward / I just want to feel alright / And I know no one will save me / I just need someone to kiss ... Nobody, nobody, nobody ... I've been big and small / And big and small / And big and small again

this fits too well. mike mike mike the guess im a coward lineeee

~

coffee ~ beabadoobee

Don't stay awake for too long / Don't go to bed / I'll make a cup of coffee for your head / I'll get you up and going out of bed / And I promise that one day I'll feel fine / And I promise that one day I'll feel alright ... Don't know how long I'll stay for / It's okay I'll knock on your door / Won't you come down and get me? / I like it when you hold me / Tight

this was going to be an honorable mention but i wanted to put a mike appreciation song. i heart him and his feel-good-ness

~

honorable mention (only one i used my other one) : sugar water~flower face (this does not fit it should not fit but it does it doesnt but it reminds me of him for no reason at all)

bill:

r.i.p. to my youth ~ the neighborhood

R.I.P. to my youth / And you can call this the funeral ... Might go to Hell and there ain't no stopping / Might be a sinner and I might be a saint / I'd like to be proud, but somehow I'm ashamed ... I'm using white lighters to see what's in front of me ... When I can't breathe, I won't ask you to stop / When I can't breathe, don't call for a cop / I was naive and hopeful and lost / Now I'm aware and driving my thoughts, oh

this is my bill song. this is the song that reminds me of him more than anything else. after georgie he was revenge-driven and unstoppable and he had no idea what he was doing. he blamed himself even though everything was so much bigger than him. this is his song

~

lucky ones ~ lana del rey

Let's get out of this town, baby we're on fire / Everyone around here seems to be going down, down, down / If you stick with me, I can take you higher, and higher / It feels like all of our friends are lost / Nobody's found, found, found ... Finally, you and me are the lucky ones, this time ... You know we'll never leave if we don't get out now, now, now

this is a losers club song but its def from bills pov if just for the i can take you higher line. but it is from his perspective i cant explain it they arent the lucky ones but they are

~

couple alex g songs

let it go ~ alex g

It's a really big car / It's a really big part / Of a really big heart / Are you really there? ... I'm sure sorry about your son / I heard he was a lot of fun / And I'm sorry 'bout the way / That he ran away / Are you really there ? ... It's a really great place / Way up here in outer space / You know it's all just a race / You can let it go

replace son with brother. bill. the repetition of are you really there and then after the last verse you can let it go are so meaningful. this is the losers to bill

16 mirrors ~ alex g

Let's get all the years where I was her friend (let's get all the mirrors in the bottom of the well) / I thought I lost my heartbeat (this is a piece of cake, working with my hands) / This one is a page where I used too many colors (16 mirrors at the bottom of the well) / Roll it in a mirror all my work will be discovered (this is a piece of cake, working with my hands)

i will not pretend to understand this song that i love so much. the lyrics are overlapping and difficult to fully make out but something in me is saying its bill. the colors bit. the mirrors have to have something to do w self

~

a pearl ~ mitski

You're growing tired of me / You love me so hard and I still can't sleep / You're growing tired of me / And all the things I don't talk about / Sorry, I don't want your touch / It's not that I don't want to / Sorry, I can't take your touch / It's just that I fell in love with a war / Nobody told me it ended / And it left a pearl in my head / And I roll it around every night / Just to watch it glow / Every night, baby, that's where I go ... There's a hole that you fill

bill was so obsessed with revenge with georgie that it kind of overtook everything else. the losers were the only thing that kept him from going completely off the deep end

~

emily i'm sorry ~ boygenius

She's asleep in the back seat / Looking peaceful enough to me / But she's waking inside a dream / Of screeching tires and fires ... When I pointed out where the North Star is / She called me a fucking liar / Emily, I'm sorry, I just (Emily, I) / Make it up as I go along ... Headed straight for the concrete / In a nightmare, screaming / And now I'm wide awake, spiraling / And you don't wanna talk ... You know how I get when I'm wrong (you know how I get) / And I can feel myself becoming (I can feel it) / Somebody I'm not, I'm not, so ... (I'm) I'm 27 and I don't know who I am (don't know who I am) / But I know what I want

i picture this as bill to stan after the first face off w it. stans upset and bill has no idea what hes doing but he knows he cares for stan and its a weird type of unflinching trust that stan has in bill that he is upset at bill about because he knows that it will get them hurt. this is like a hc at this point but i feel like this happened in some form

~

matilda ~ harry styles

You were riding your bike to the sound of "It's no big deal" / And you're trying to lift off the ground on those old two wheels / Nothing about the way you were treated ever seemed especially alarming 'til now ... You can let it go / You can throw a party full of everyone you know / And not invite your family, 'cause they never showed you love / You don't have to be sorry for leaving and growing up ... Matilda, you talk of the pain like it's all alright / But I know that you feel like a piece of you's dead inside / You showed me a power that is strong enough to bring sun to the darkest days ... You don't have to be sorry for doing it on your own

the way bills parent treated him after georgie is so terrible ughhhhhh this is the losers to bill. the last line the last line

~

honorable mentions : the greatest~ldr (the greatest loss is the loss of the losers adventures together and its just from bills pov for no reason i can elaborate on), remember~alex g (just the end with the please dont help me bit), vampire banquet~fox academy (yes it was on eddies list yes bill also feel claustrophobic in his ghost house yes they coincide), savior complex~phoebe bridgers (bill and his savior complex)

sun bleached flies ~ ethel cain

this song had parts that apply so painfully to a loser or multiple losers and parts that dont apply to anyone so im separating it by lyric

Sun-bleached flies sitting in the windowsill / Waiting for the day they escape (all)

"God loves you, but not enough to save you" / So, babygirl, good luck taking care of yourself (stan and bill)

If they strike once, then you just hit 'em twice as hard / But in the end, if I bend under the weight that they gave me / Then this heart would break and fall as twice as far (bev and bill)

We all know how it goes / The more it hurts, the less it shows / But I still feel like they all know / And that's why I could never go back home (richie)

And I spend my life / Watching it go by from the sidelines / And God, I've tried / But I think it's about time I put up a fight (eddie, could be any of them but so eddie)

But I always knew that in the end, no one was coming to save me / So I just prayed, and I keep praying and praying and praying if it's meant to be then it will be (mike and a little bev and maybe even a little ben)

And I forgave it all as it comes back to me (ben)

I can't let go when something's broken / It's all I know and it's all I want now (bill)

bonus ok so machine girl has this album wlfgrl that samples from my fav movie ever ginger snaps which is about werewolf metaphors cough richie tozier....its mostly rave-ish instrumental butttttt ginger claps and out by 16, dead on the scene could def fit on to a losers club playlist, and potentially excruciating deth

calling the losers’ club/it fandom!

i’m currently writing an ethnography on dying internet spaces, and want to partake in the ritual that is making a music playlist!

so, leave in tags a song that reminds you of one of the losers, and if you want to can tell us which loser it is (some songs might be obvious lol) and for funzies, tell us which version of that loser is reminds you of (book, miniseries, 2017/19, adult or child, etc.)

and if you have a special reason it reminds you of them you can say it or if it’s just vibes alone that’s fair too! i’ll start us off:

- eddie my love by the chordettes - eddie as a kid, all versions (i imagine sonia sang this to him and he hates it)

- eddie baby by felix hagan & the family - adult 2019!richie would sing this to eddie teasingly

please boost this!

Fave Instrument: piano, violin & electric guitar

Aesthetic: I have so many aesthetics that I like and I'd say I'm quite versatile but my favourite is edgy/e-girl meets cute/soft girl aesthetic. (so basically black + pastels)(this is specifically for clothing - although, I like this aesthetic in general but if I looked at other kinds of aesthetics, then this section would become a whole novella)

Fave author(s): Jennifer L. Armentrout & Marissa Meyer so far,,, I need to find more time to read to have a more inclusive list here,,, I also like Rick Riordan and Liu Cixin

Fave animal noise: the war cry squeaking of a very angry desert rain frog

(if you've never seen this/heard this frog - you will not regret it, believe me)

Random: This is going to make me sound incredibly stupid, I know, but please bear with me: So, on one hand, I'm kinda hesitant/scared to post about good news... even when I'm really excited about it, I'm afraid people will think I'm bragging and then dislike that something good happened to me (for once🫠). But on the other hand, I'm also hesitant to share bad news, aka things I'm struggling with, because then I'm afraid people will think I'm too negative and that I'm toxic for their mental health... so, in the end, I just kinda end up bottling everything up... which, I know, isn't good, either.

Tagging: (lol I'm not sure I can gather 17 people- so as always, feel free to ignore this, this is in no way something you must do but if you're up for it, I'd love to get to know y'all a little (for those whom I haven't really interacted with so far)💗💗) @http-peachie @littlefallenrebel @mossyforesst @rain-nights @bakerysnake @interstellix @jellihye @marculees @the-troijan-horse @vallkyr @lucyepiccrash @notjustaprettygirl4567 (I can't add you for some reason but if you see this, you're invited to do this tag if you want♥️) @oddlittlefandomist @hanstagram @hanniesunshine @sorikkung @linogram

[urne-buriall]

ive had a bad day and find myself here to humbly request any behind the scenes insight to the crafting of your fics (research, writing habits, inspiration, teasers) im currently reading the 90s horse girl dean wip and the ashes canon fixit 💌

sorry you're feeling down. here are some trade secrets.

spirit of the west:

for research I read My Friend Flicka, Misty of Chincoteague, Phantom Stallion: The Wild One and watched the first season of Heartland, which was harrowing because a) so many of their horse plots were things I was already going to write, and b) being a Canadian alive at the time that season aired I felt personally attacked by the similarities to my own life. she had my freaking alarm clock. they played a song in the background by a band called Tangiers, an obscure indie rock group from Toronto that I listened to constantly in '06/'07 and was certain no one but me had heard of. I digress. I also started reading The Horse Whisperer but it was more peopley than horsey so I watched the movie instead, which was very visually rewarding. total love letter to Montana.

I also sometimes go to youtube and watch videos of stallion taming or horse farm chores to see if there are any details I want to include that I might otherwise have missed. my youtube history got so weird for this one.

for any vet stuff, I read a few blogs and articles as I approach the scene. I've seen a foal being born before, and seen more than one cattle-birth, but want to get the details right for a more complicated delivery.

oh yeah, I rewatched the John episodes of SPN, something I never thought I'd set out to do, because keeping away from caricature is really important to me, considering what he's like in the fic.

this is almost a teaser: for my latest research I opened up a vintage copy of a 1990s GED preparation guide on archive.org to skim through the table of contents and introduction. the GED lore.

another teaser: I have a chapter heading for Chapter 16. the chapter contains one word: "Rodeo!"

our lights in ashes:

for this one I read a whole bunch of Southern Gothic short stories, because the short story is where it's prime. I also read The Road by Cormac McCarthy (father and son traumabonding in the Southeast) and watched Eve's Bayou (very good!), Shy People (weird), the original The Beguiled, and the documentary Southern Comfort. there may have been more I read - I easily convince myself I'm not doing writing research, just having a fun time with a book I'd long intended to read, but it really is writing research.

the inspiration was because it was originally for @deancaspinefest, and the best part of pining to me is when both parties want to be together and know it, but can't. I asked myself, how could Cas and Dean see each other frequently and want to be together while something external to themselves keeps them from fulfilling anything? because writing them together is the point. no scenes between Dean and Cas until the end of the story is just no fun for anyone. so I asked if Cas might be slipping in and out of the Empty - thought "no that makes no sense based on what we know of it" - then went and created my new realm of Apeiron. once I had that, man, everything else about the story fell into place.

Daryl’s adopted daughter

Chapter 1

Summary: Diana is a girl on the run in the apocalypse. Her past chases her no matter where she goes. One day, by chance, she meets Daryl Dixon. Thinking she’s a walker, he shoots her and brings her back to their camp. Shane strikes a deal with her: she has to stay for two weeks before she can decide if she wants to stay. But Diana is determined to keep her past in the past, and never make the same mistake again

Season 1 - I’m not sure yet

—————

Diana sat in a circle with her family. Blood dripped down her neck from her lips.

Everything was red.

 Red

       Red

 Red

How could everything have gone so wrong so quickly?

Her eyes never left the blond man she once knew. She watched him as her fury and fear grew louder and louder, echoing off her skull.

That was, until Negan stepped out of the van. He walked about the circle, until his eyes landed on her.

"Fancy seein' you again, Darlin'."

                               ————————

    Rick stumbled into the street, a hospital gown draping his skin. He knew there was something wrong. There was something off. Maybe it was intuition...

  Or maybe it was the woman, chopped in half, chomping her teeth to get at his ankles.

    He rubbed his eyes, the sun glaring right into his vision. It had been a week and a half since the start, and a day since his IV ran dry. It had been even longer since he last saw the sun.

   Where was everyone?

 Why hadn't he waken up to nurses and doctors?

  Or his family's familiar faces?

  He spotted bodies. Bodies walking. Maybe three.

  He couldn't understand... he couldn't understand any of it...

  The light off a gun reflected into his eyes. He blocked it and moved to see where it was coming from.

  The revolver was placed in the holster on the side of a walker. The man... or whatever he was now... shuffled toward Rick.

 He was deathly pale.

  "Sir," Rick's voice cracked, "sir, are you okay?" He held his hand out, trying to make it a comforting gesture to someone possibly in need.

  Edging closer, the man stared at him with hungry dead eyes. His clothes were torn and draped off his skinny frame, his eyes laid sunken in his face.

   "Sir?" He asked again, stumbling back.

   The man growled and advanced further.

   "Are you-?"

   With a blur, the man was down.

  Nearly tripping over his own feet, Rick let out a horrified gasp.

  On the ground was a little girl, around Carl's age, placing her knife in the mans forehead. Her light blond hair, tucked under her baseball cap, clung to her dirty face. The crunch echoed in Ricks head, reverberating off his skull.

 That was the first walker he had ever seen killed.

  She quickly wiped her knife on the walkers shirt and snatched his revolver. She opened the back to check how much ammo was left. Satisfied, she clicked it shut and began patting the double dead man down.

  "W-why did you do that?" Rick found his voice again.

  She leaped back, her bright blue eyes finding his.

   Quickly, she pulled herself up and began to dash away. If Rick hadn't lunged out and caught the back of her shirt she would have disappeared as soon as she apparated into his line of sight.

  "No. You can't leave yet." He spun her around to face him. It was evident how terrified she was. Especially with her eyes as wide as dinner plates and hands clawing at his arm. "Why did you kill that man?"

  She glared at him and wriggled harder. "Man?" She gasped, "that... that wasn't a man!" Her hands fought to unclamp Ricks grip. "That's a Walker! He would have eaten you if I hadn't stopped him!" She grunted with effort. "Didn't even see you. You already look dead."

  "What do you mean by dead?" Rick questioned, holding tighter.

  "Gone. Deceased. vamosed. Perished." With each word she struggled. "Now let me go!"

  Rick was about to question again, when he felt the stitches on his side rip. With a grunt, he let her go and fell to the ground. His hand cupped his side.

  "Please.." he stopped to breathe heavily as the girl watched him warily. "I don't know what's happening. I woke up in the- in the hospital." He glanced down at his side to eye the bleeding. "The sun will be setting soon... and I need help."

The girl glanced at the lowering sun. Tapping her foot, she glowered at the ground. "How can I trust you." It wasn't a question. It was as if she was challenging him to be wrong.

Rick attempted to stand, only to find himself back in the ground. "I was a cop. My job was to protect the people. ALL people. And I like to think I did a good job of that."

She stuck the revolver in her holster (which was clearly stolen based on how big it was). "Prove it."

"I don't have my badge or my hat. That's at my house. But I'm officer Rick Grimes. I've been on the force for seven years. My partner was Shane Walsh. I was in my car when we got a call about a run away car. I was shot in action and hospitalized." His eyes seemed to beg her to help him.

Diana tried to fight the raging war in her head.

She knew better.

She knew to trust no one.

Her father and mother both betrayed her trust.

Why trust again?

But... she could tell when people were lying. All people have tells. Her fathers tell was him avoiding eye contact. He always looked at the ground. For her mother, she always played with her wedding ring.

But this Cop... sheriff... man... was not lying.

He looked her dead in the eye.

"Fine. Come with me." She hadn't known that she was gripping her new revolver until she released it. "I have a place in the sewers. I know... in most movies that's where walkers would be. But how would someone get down there in the first place? You'd have to move the lid." She walked over to Rick and slung his arm over her shoulder to help him stand in any way. "And most walkers," she grunted "are pretty stupid."

"Thank you...for helping me." Rick stated gratefully.

"I have some house rules, you know."

"Name them." He said confidently as they shuffled down the street.

"One: you're gone when you can walk."

"You don't want someone to watch your back?" Rick was surprised. Usually, kids jumped at the chance for safety. The ones he has worked with in cases of violence had immediately decided he was trustworthy.

"the worlds changed. You can't trust people." He noted the grim expression on her face. He wanted to ask why, but he figured it was better to stay silent.

"I'd argue about that, but I'll hear out your other rules." He wrapped his arm around his side again, fingering the broken stitches.

"Two: you do as I say or you die."

"Yes ma'am."

Rick couldn't help but like her spunk. She was serious, but it wasn't much of a threat coming from an eleven year old girl.

"3: ..." she started only to trail off.

"...3?"

She cleared her throat and resituated Ricks arm. "You repay my kindness if we ever cross paths again. I don't care how."

"Was already planning on it." He grinned. He could feel the conversation beginning to die, so he started it back up again. "What's your name, kid?"

She hesitated, eyes staying on the road. "Diana." She spoke softly. "My mother named me after the Roman goddess of the night."

Rick smiled. "Pretty name."

Diana's thoughts drifted to her mother. Her mother with her honey brown hair and warm chocolate eyes. She stopped her thoughts there. "Well... what about you, officer friendly? You got a name?"

Rick laughed. "My names Rick Grimes. I ain't named after the moon goddess, but I think it has a nice ring to it. Don't you?"

She forced down a smile. "Pretty name."

He chuckled. "Well, Diana, I am glad I ran into you."

~~~~~

They arrived at the sewer lid.

"Here we are. I've been camped out here since early yesterday morning." She slipped under Ricks arm and got down to lift the lid. With a couple tries, and an offer from Rick for assistance, she lifted the lid.

She stood up and dusted off her hands. "I'll go down first and scope out the area. Need to make sure it's still clear. Then I'll help you down."

She began her descent.

Rick watched the top of her light haired head fade into the darkness with each step. He briefly thought she would try and make a run for it. Escape through the sewers.

He immediately dismissed it. Why would she waste daylight by helping him? The sound of her footsteps hitting the water at the bottom and echoing as she walked down the tunnels set him on edge.

Especially when they began to fade.

He sat patiently for over ten minutes, watching the sunlight tick by. He looked down into the darkness, listening for any sound. There was nothing... not even a whisper.

Maybe she did leave.

"Alright, Sheriff, get down here! It's clear!" Her voice reverberated loudly from the tunnels so suddenly, that Rick stumbled back.

"I don't have all day! Unless you wanted to be walker chow, get down here!"

Rick chuckled as he began to shuffle his way down the tunnel.

"Any day now, Deputy Fossil!" She shouted.

"Hold your horses, kid." He slowly lowered himself into the dark. He looked down to see where his feet were going to land, spotting the flashlight that Diana held. Her light hazel eyes reflected impatience.

"Nice place." He said, clearly biting back his truth.

"Don't be fake." She said as she kicked at the water. "It smells like a pig ate dirty gym socks, farted, and died."

"I was trying to spare your feelings."

"Don't bother. I'm leaving this place as soon as you're ready."

Rick finally landed on the bottom of the sewer. "You got a place you're headed to?"

Diana shook her head. "No. Just a place I never want to see again."

Rick stopped moving to look at her. "Troubled home life?"

She thought about it and shrugged. "I guess you could call it troubled home life. It was home once. But this apocalypse changes people."

"I'm sorry kid."

"Don't be. That's just life."

Rick opened his mouth to say more, but Diana beat him to it.  

  "Alright, lets move." She motioned for him to follow.

           The place she had holed up in was dryer than most spaces. There were a couple of dirty blankets placed on the ground and a first aid kit. Some batteries were sprinkled on top.

     "You can sit there. I can stitch you back up." Diana pointed at the wall. Their part of the sewer was a dead end so they wouldn't be surprised.

     "Thank you."

Diana hadn't stitched wounds before, but she did well enough.

 Rick tried starting a conversation again but she told him she needed silence to focus.

                                         ~~~~

    "Are you sure you want to travel by yourself?"

  Diana nodded as she packed her things. "Very sure. You're nice and all, but you don't want to travel with me."

 The Georgia sun had risen already and they both were preparing for departure in the street

   "Do you have any family to find?" Rick questioned.

"I already know where they are. And they don't want me either." The girl looked down, avoiding eye contact.

"If we ever meet again, you better give me more details." Rick narrowed his eyes and pointed at her. "I deserve to know more about the little girl who saved me."

"Once a cop always a cop I guess." Diana said slyly. She looked back at him. "What about you? Any family?"

 She eyed a walker down the street but decided it was too far away to pursue.

"I got a son and a wife. My son's your age actually. 11." Rick looked through the neighborhoods. "I don't know where they are, but I'll protect them. They need me."

Diana squinted in the direction he was looking at, seeing nothing. "You'll find them, chief." She patted his shoulder, having to reach up very high.

"It was nice to meet you, Diana." Rick said, a little sad that they were parting. Possibly that he would no longer have company. Maybe that he didn't have enough time to get to know her well. "I don't know if I'll see you again, but you helped me without anything to gain."

Diana scoffed. "I'm not a good kid."

"You're right."

Diana looked up, confused.

"You're one of the best."

She wrinkled her nose at him. "Go. You have people to find."

"From the looks of thangs, so do you."

"I don't have people."

"You'll find them. Just a matter of where and when." He stuck his hand out for her to shake.

She placed a brown bag in his hand instead. "It's for the road. There's batteries, water, a flashlight, food, bandages, antibiotics, and one more thing..." she unbuckled her holster and handed it to him, along with the revolver. "You need these more than I do."

Rick tried to push it back to the little girl. "No I can't take this. You need it."

"No, you do. You're gonna help people, Rick. You're gonna help so many. You gotta find your people." She pushed it back to him. "I'm gonna be fine. I spotted a gun down the road that I'm gonna check out later."

Rick gave her a solemn look before accepting it. "If you can, head to Atlanta. The CDC is near there and there's bound to be survivors."

"I don't need survivors."she rolled her eyes.

"They may need you, kid. Ever think about that?"

She stayed silent for a moment. "Stay safe, sherif fun sponge." She shook his hand, even though he hadn't offered it yet. "I hope we meet again."

"We will." He smiled. "I don't know how or when, but we will. I have a debt to pay."

She wanted to return the smile but couldn't. "I hope you find them."

"You to."

With that, they went separate ways.

please do rank mgg's movies on how much you liked them ! i've only seen a couple and i'd love to hear it :D

omg i got so many asks and im so happy so first of all thank you everyone!! @ssa-m-187 also asked for this so im just gonna do it in one

just to clarify this is ranked purely on my favs, not how long mgg is in it or how important he is (also spoiler free cause of course i want everyone to watch any of these that sound interesting to them!!)

also this is subjective! so if i say i dont like anyones fav or i love ur least fav its all good!! opinions and commentary are good and im just being dramatic in these casual reviews cause its fun

18. zoe

this movie annoyed me, because its SO BORING, i struggled to make it through the full thing cause it is not interesting at all imo. i wouldn't recommend you watch unless you specifically (like me) wanna be able to say you watched them all

17. beautiful girl/the ugly life of a beautiful girl

mgg himself said he didnt think this movie would ever see the light of day and i completely understand why, it wasn't made well, and there was almost no actual point (ALSO THE ENDING MADE ME WANNA SHOVE MY HEAD INTO A WALL)

however... if you wanna see mgg play a *ahem* adult film director than i will not judge you

also if anyone was to ask me to rate them based on how hot he looks this one would be HIGH

anyway moving on

16. endings, beginnings

once this was SO BORING... how can a movie with 4 of my celebrity crushes struggle to hold my attention so much?? ill tell you CAUSE ITS NOT VERY GOOD and all the characters suck and are boring (except mgg plays this like perfect ex boyfriend so good job casting department)

15. rv

its just... not funny... like it gets to be up here cause i wasnt bored out of my mind but its just.. not funny at all

14. newness

i know a lot of people love this one but i just didnt vibe with it, i expected it to be something it wasn't and i think that's partly the fault of how they marketed it but it made me a little peeved

13. the great buck howard

probably the most average out of every film on here, i really have no take aways from it, its fine but like i wouldn't recommend you go watch it if that makes sense

12. 68 kill

please dont murder me, i know my opinions are unpopular everyone but I DONT LIKE IT, i think its entertaining, i think its fun to watch with friends so you can all make fun of it together but its just not a objectively good movie

also its incredibly misogynistic

11. life after beth

this one i know is objectively bad but i cant help but love it anyways... its just fun and entertaining

10. magic valley

i struggle where to place this one, it's definitely interesting and thought provoking... but i dont think its one of the best

i liked it more the more i sat and thought about it

9. how to be a serial killer

i like this one a lot!! if you can find it i say watch it, but it's not a stand out for me personally

8. hot air

ONCE AGAIN I KNOW THIS IS LIKE EVERYONES FAV AND ALL THAT but i just dont like the "homewrecker" trope, in like really any kind of media

i feel like it's romanticized a lil here and that kind of turned me off

however!! i understand why people like this one and other than that i think this one is really good so i would definitely recommend it

7. trash fire

i thought about this movie for hours after i watched it... its so good... like ahhhh i really like this one (its a lil... strange though so it might not be for everyone if that makes sense)

6. (500) days of summer

not a love story but so good (im telling yall this cause youll hate it if you think its a love story oops)

5. the life aquatic with steve zissou

compelling, interesting, and i love a good unreliable narrator, it truly keeps me going

4. band of robbers

this is also an unpopular opinion but i love this one (im allowed to like movies for the sole reason that theyre fun yall and this is one of them)

3. horse girl

WATCH THE FULL THING, EVERYONE JUST WATCHES THE ONE SCENE BUT I PROMISE THIS WHOLE MOVIE IS SUCH A GOOD VIEWING EXPERIENCE AND SO WORTH IT

2. suburban gothic

one of the funniest movies ever imo, its my go to comfort movie

1. excision

NO ONE TALKS ABOUT THIS ONE BECAUSE HES NOT IN IT A TON BUT ITS GENUINELY ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES IVE EVER SEEN

IM STILL THINKING ABOUT IT AND ITS BEEN MONTHS SINCE IVE SEEN IT

HOWEVER, its disturbing (i watched it while eating lunch, i would strongly suggest you DONT do that) and has a lot of cutting and general medical/surgical horror, if that is not your thing maybe dont watch this one

but seriously i dont think this movie is appreciated enough, i love it and im so glad i decided one time i was gonna watch all the mgg movies cause i would have never seen this otherwise

[thecringefailintherye]

YES CONSIDER YOURSELF AND BE BACK SOON (THE BIGGEST BANGERS IN THE FILM) CREDITS SONGS!!

well.. that was a journey and half

[winterscaptain]

tali i have kind of a weird question? growing up my family never watched a lot of classic/common movies (we were FIRMLY a veggie tales house) so I have No Clue what like half of the movies you mention are? like I've never seen footloose or what a wonderful life or die hard? or practically... anything you've ever talked about :(

(also ive never seen mean girls but thats a oersonal failure cas I just. forget to watch it?)

do you have a fav/good movie i should start with cause I feel like I'm missing out on so much :(

hi honey!! you’re so valid, and i had LOTS of veggie tales experience growing up. i know you asked for one, but i went a lil ham on this list because you’ve unknowingly touched on one of my favorite hobbies

okay so i have a big list for you, but it’s in really manageable chunks!! i went to theatre school at the school that houses the Best Cinema School in the World (fight on, usc) and i have Opinions™!! 

if anyone has any other recs not on this list, drop em in the replies!!

i’ll put these in order of my preference/pop culture relevance, so it’s all subjective and idk what your taste is like, but if you have any questions im always here for you!! i’ve added a few notes and disclaimers along the way

this is a really good list to go off of, in general! 

okay so here are my top seven films that i never get tired of watching, in order.

skyfall

that thing you do

captain america: the first avenger/captain america: winter soldier

inglorious basterds*

the sound of music 

knives out

blazing saddles**

* inglorious basterds is a quentin tarantino movie, and tarantino isn’t for everyone. his films are always really bloody, intense, and rife with bad language. i don’t like him personally, but i love his work. this is, in my opinion, his best and funniest work

** blazing saddles is a mel brooks movie, and he’s REALLY offensive and inappropriate in his satire. it’s definitely an iconic comedy, but not to everyone’s taste. it’s one of those movies where you’re actually allowed to laugh at the really horrible jokes because it’s an equal-opportunity offense-fest lmao 

so here are some other genres and films that are a good foundation!

IN GENERAL!! i don’t like remakes. if there’s an older version of the movie, watch that one. trust me. 

i’ve also bolded a couple of key favorites on this list

romantic comedies

my best friend’s wedding

the ugly truth & 27 dresses (katherine hiegl movies ROCK)

sleepless in seattle & you’ve got mail (meg ryan and tom hanks own my ass)

when harry met sally

movies based on books/short stories

to kill a mockingbird

the book thief

the hunger games trilogy

divergent

chronicles of narnia

pride and prejudice (2005 or the bbc miniseries)

3:10 to yuma

based on a true story

ford v. ferrarri

three billboards outside of ebbing, missouri

moneyball

zero dark thirty

the king’s speech

black mass

apollo 11

documentaries*

ken burns’ civil war

ken burns’ baseball

paris is burning

blackfish

free solo

the hunting ground 

* please be advised, some of these documentaries cover some disturbing and distressing subjects. please engage responsibly!

superhero movies

iron man

the dark knight*

wonder woman

scott pilgrim vs the world (okay give me this one)

spider man 1, the amazing spider man, and spiderman: homecoming (all different spidermans, all great movies!

deadpool**

* tdk is really really dark, but the performances are immaculate.  ** deadpool is wildly inappropriate, so don’t take the R-rating lightly! it’s so funny though. so so fucking funny. 

teen favorites

10 things i hate about you

mean girls

some of these movies don’t get everything right. if you do choose to engage, engage critically and let the art make you feel something. 

tom hanks movies

yes he gets his own category

joe v the volcano 

castaway

big

saving mr banks

movies where the government saves matt damon

the martian 

saving private ryan

interstellar

jason bourne (technically he saves himself, but he’s still funded by the government)

war movies

fury

band of brothers

full metal jacket

the last full measure

war horse 

1917 

hacksaw ridge

westerns

django unchained

the magnificent seven

true grit

the good the bad and the ugly

a fistful of dollars

old hollywood

an affair to remember

breakfast at tiffany’s, roman holiday (audrey hepburn is an icon of the era)

any alfred hitchcock movie, but psycho and rear window are my faves

these movies don’t get everything right. they are a product of their time and often come with insensitive and unironically offensive cultural baggage. if you so choose, engage critically. you’re still allowed to enjoy the movies, just understand what’s not acceptable! 

christmas movies

it’s a wonderful life

white christmas

a christmas story

the holiday

die hard (some people don’t think this is a christmas movie. i disagree.)

the family stone

a year without a santa clause

halloween movies

hocus pocus

beetlejuice

anything by tim burton - the nightmare before christmas, the corpse bride

the shining

the blair witch project

get out

cult classics

the rocky horror picture show

the room

reservoir dogs

jennifer’s body 

point break

these are WAY more fun with friends - please quarantine responsibly, but it's so worth the wait to watch this with a big group of people.

[fuckingthefictional]

Cross my heart- Part 15

Pairing: Tommy Shelby x OFC, John Shelby (platonic) x OFC

Warnings: Talk of sexual assault, semi smut.

A/N: Enjoy a long ass chapter, that hasn’t been proofread and it probably crap!

Previous//Next

“What the fuck do you mean she was attacked?”

“John calm down.”

“No I will not fucking ‘calm down’!”

“John your shouting isn’t helping the situation at all.”

“But Pol-“

“Don’t ‘but Pol’ me John, that girl was attacked and nearly raped! Your shouting is not helping the situation one bloody bit.”

Eliza listened from her spot on the sofa, her body ached and her memories were still intense and raw from the previous night.

Her eyes felt heavy and she felt bleary. Eliza wanted nothing more than to sink into the cushions of the sofa and just disappear.

There was a great deal of pacing coming from the kitchen, which she assumed could only be John’s.

Eliza wished she could’ve told him in a normal way, like she did with all her troubles- over a glass of scotch. That he didn’t discover the events of the night before in such a horrible way.

Her heart pounded rapidly in her chest, her entire body felt as if it were in shackles. Like she had her hands tired- as if there was no escape from this dark backstreet

She could feel ever grope, every unwanted kiss, she could hear every single taint and harsh laughter.

She felt cold and exposed where her clothes had been forcibly removed and the fearful tremble in her body refused to go away.

It felt as if she was helpless, there was nothing she could do. Like she was watching herself be pushed around and assaulted in the most cruel ways from the outside.

And then he came, cigarette burning and the soft glow of the ashy embers as they were flicked off onto the mud caked floor.

The man who had a red right hand in his pocket and a peaky cap perched on his head and she could see the blades tucked away, still glinting occasionally in the soft glow of the nicotine filled stick.

At long last she felt her knees hit the floor, as she simultaneously heard begging and screams of pain. Her hands were stained in blood and the screams got louder and louder until they just...stopped.

“Liza?” A frantic voice was calling to her, she felt like she was being shaken, “Liza wake up!”

She woke with a start, shooting up and rocking back and forth. Eliza felt someone attempt to hold her, but after the previous night she attempted mercilessly to escape whoever was touching her. She thrashed and tried to break free, but they held on.

Eliza was sure she was crying now, her voice croaked and cracked as she attempted to cry out in some sort of attempt at being rescued.

A small part of Eliza’s mind knew she was safe, that nobody was trying to hurt her. In any other situation she would relax into the embrace and find comfort. But this- this was to much to handle.

“Let her go Johnny boy-“

“Tom what the fuck is going on?”

“I’ll explain in a minute- just go through to the kitchen, aye an’ I’ll sort this.”

“Yer out ‘yer mind if yer think I’m leaving her here with you.”

There was a small pause, before the sound of retreating footsteps were heard by Eliza.

“Liza, open yer eyes for me.”

She slowly cracked open an eyelid, almost afraid of what she might find. Her vision was blurred as she burst into floods of tears at the sight of Tommy kneeled besides her.

“I- I thought-“ Eliza tried to explain, but couldn’t bring herself to say the words.

“You are safe.” Tommy couldn’t express the words hard enough it seemed, his gaze pierced into Eliza. He continued on leaning closer to prove is point, “I will keep you safe, my family will make sure you’re safe- I never want ye’ to live in fear Liza.”

Eliza just nodded, tears soaking his shoulder as he gently combed through a few stray locks of her hair.

She could feel gentle lips brush her forehead, a huge contrast to the violating ones that she had been forced to receive the night before.

“I just need time.” Eliza tried to reassure herself, “the wound will heal with time.”

“An’ I’ll be with you every step of the way, I promise you that much.”

“Just don’t go breaking my heart along the way.”

“As long as you don’t hurt mine either.”

//

Life was a struggle to get back to normal for Eliza, she went back to work a few days after the bruises had healed up.

Routine practically kept her sane the following weeks after the incident.

She’d wake up at six in the morning, fix Harry his breakfast and then meet Tommy outside the Garrison for seven. He would then walk her to the schoolhouse and wait with Eliza in her classroom until the children started to line up outside- she’d teach for the day and then be picked up by Tommy or John (and occasionally Arthur) where they’d walk back to watery lane and Eliza would stay until it nine helping with homework and bedtime routines. After a long day she’d walk with the Peaky men back to the Garrison where she’d go on shift.

By the end of the day Eliza usually felt exhausted enough to close her eyes without fearing the makeshift movie full of her past memories.

Routine worked.

Until Tommy showed up at Eliza’s window on a Sunny Sunday. Sunday’s were the day that Eliza allowed her routine to include a lie in, so she could relax and recover before Monday came around.

But of course Tommy kept tapping on the glass panes of her window.

Eliza wanted to do nothing but turn over and stuff her head into her pillows- but she knew Tommy was incessant and would stop until she payed him attention.

So she rolled out of bed and unlatched the window, pushing it open slightly before making her way back to her bed and sliding under the warm covers.

“Liza?”

She grumbled in response.

“Ive got a surprise for you.”

“Is the surprise letting me sleep for another hour?” Eliza grumbled groggily, “because that would be appreciated.”

She could practically see his smirk in her mind, there was a small chuckle from behind and then Eliza felt the covers be ripped away from her body.

“Tommy!” She shot up, to see him stood above her with a smile on his face. Eliza liked seeing him happy.

“Get up, we’re goin’ out.”

Eliza sighed, “Fine.”

//

“Where are we going?”

They had been driving for what felt like hours, Tommy had driven them out of the city- and Eliza could admit that it felt good to get fresh air and not be inhaling the heavy black smoke.

Eliza felt free, like she was in the rolling fields that her childhood town in Ireland held.

Away from Birmingham she felt as if she could leave behind her problems, and focus on some of the finer details in life.

Like the dewy grass, or the way the wind brushed against her skin, or how Tommy’s hands would occasionally tap against the steering wheel, or how his eyes would light up more every time they passed a horse in a field.

Eventually Tommy parked at their supposed final destination, it wasn’t much- a field and paddock which held a few horses, and a stable with what appeared to be a riders hut attached to it.

“Where are we?” Eliza was lost in her own befuddlement.

“My stables.” He replied striking up a cigarette.

“But I thought you had a stable in Small Heath?”

“If you mean Uncle Charlie’s boat yard, then yes- but technically it’s not mine.” Tommy opened his side of the car door, before jogging round and opening Eliza’s side too, “Besides, I prefer it when the horses have a bit of fresh air- Small Heath don’t do their lungs any good.”

Eliza smiled at that comment. She’d gathered that Tommy had a soft spot for animals, especially horses.

“Let me rephrase my original question then.” Eliza giggled, “Why are we ‘ere?”

The young man stopped in his tracks, “To ride of course.” He began to walk besides her, linking there arms together, “Yer told me that you’d ride when you were in Ireland, growing up- that yer missed it.”

Her heart swelled at the fact that Tommy had remembered that conversation. Eliza found herself struggling to form proper sentences, so instead she just nodded in awe.

“Now come on pretty girl, the longer we talk ‘ere- the less ridin’ time we’ll have.”

Eliza raises a brow and smirked, she leaned in as their noses brushed slightly. She could’ve sworn she heard Tommy’s breath stop.

With a final breath she steadied herself, “Race you!” She screamed sprinting away as quickly as her skirts allowed her to.

//

Tommy looked dumbfounded for a second before he also took off running, chasing after her trying to reach the fence first.

It made him smile, seeing how childish and free Eliza could act.

Tommy was a damn good businessman- but if he knew one thing, it was that he was willing to follow Eliza to the end of the world.

When he was around Eliza, Grace was forgotten in his mind.

When Eliza was around, he felt a genuine happiness that he hadn’t felt since before the war.

“Hurry up old man!” Eliza called playfully from the top of the terrain, Tommy shook his head a laugh escaping his lips.

“I am not an old man, you cheeky little-“ he cut himself off, “I’m not even thirty yet!”

“Old.” She retorted back still laughing heartily.

“Liza you’re 3 years younger than me- you’re ‘old’ too.” Tommy bargained.

“Are you calling me old Mr Shelby?” Eliza teased

“Polly raised me to never call a lady old.” Tommy replied, it was true- he remembered when he called his teacher old and Polly came marching into the school and smacked him right around the head. It was clear that he hadn’t done it again.

He looked across to see Eliza gazing wistfully at the horses in the paddock.

“I’ve got the perfect horse for you to ride.”

Eliza turned to him, her interest clearly peaked, “A dappled grey mare.”

Tommy could see her eyes scan across the field, trying to find the horse he’d just mentioned. When she did, she gasped and began to walk over to the gate.

He followed behind her, watching as Eliza’s steps became more springy as she got more excited. Eliza’s laughter consumed the air as she reached her hand out to pat the horses nose.

Tommy hovered behind her, his breath lingered near her neck.

“You need a hand getting up?”

Eliza just nodded as he helped lift her body off of the floor, his calloused hands grazed her waist.

“Thanks.”

“No problem pretty girl.”

//

“Thank you for today Tommy- I’m thankful, really.”

Tommy stepped forward, tucking a few stray hairs behind her ears. They had ridden for a few hours and had just finished putting the horses back into the stables.

They were both mucky and had thin layers of sweat coating their skin.

“No issue at all Liza.”

“There must be a way I can repay you.” She was stood in front of him now, even closer than before.

“Well,” Tommy licked his lips, brushing against the younger woman’s face, “there is one thing you could do.”

Their gaze lingered on each other, before the tension became too much and they met in a hot searing kiss.

Tommy walked them back towards the support beams as he continued to kiss Eliza with as much passion as he could muster.

Eliza was tugging and grasping at his hair as their lips moved together in tandem.

“jump.” Tommy breathed as he braced her body against his as her hips clashed up against his groin.

It caused them both to moan with pleasure, as Eliza rolled her hips against his again and Tommy planted hot kisses across her chest.

They began to shed clothes as they navigated through the stables and to the pile of hay in the corner.

Curses and pants could be heard throughout the area.

However before it progressed Tommy had stopped, “Liza...are you sure you want this?” He felt like he was pushing her.

But Eliza just caressed the sides of his face, and sweetly pecked his lips with her own, “I need to feel like I’m back in control- there’s nobody else who could take care of me in this way, except for you Tommy.” She pressed their lips together again, “So for the love of God- fuck me already!”
