What else is on the soprannaturale OST?

ok so first of all, the thing about dino is that he listens exclusively to 1970s music, right? except where in the us that would be classic rock, in italy that means a slew of singer-songwriters who yes, made rock music, but often of a very reflective/bittersweet/intellectual variety. and honestly? that tracks for a character who reads vonnegut in his spare time. so essentially some of the most featured artists in his cassette tape collection are:

fabrizio de andré

francesco de gregori

lucio battisti

francesco guccini

renato zero

many many more but those are the main ones

eta: not technically in the same category of songwriters but still very much part of the Classics™️ and definitely included in the mixtape he makes for castiele are “se telefonando” by mina and “minuetto” by mia martini. i know this because of italian prophetic powers

when he comes back from hell in season 4 and discovers that lele has attached his ipod to the car radio, and he turns it on, eros ramazzotti’s “terra promessa” starts playing and dino throws out the whole ipod.

what else. let’s see. instead of “all out of love”, the romantic song dino sings in the car after pretending not to be into it, is “come mai” by 883. when he’s about to die in the s3 finale and he and lele have that brotherly bonding moment by singing badly in the car? instead of “wanted dead or alive” by bon jovi, it’s “certe notti” by ligabue.

and speaking of ligabue -- as i previously mentioned, “urlando contro il cielo” is the equivalent of “carry on my wayward son”

anyway this is just a little taster of the choonz playing on the aw (ambra warner bros)’s soprannaturale :)

#LIGHTWOOD FAMILY FEELS FOREVER

/Persuasion feels forever too, tbqh, tho this bit is obviously not much of an Elliot cognate. Perhaps it fits, though, for how Lady Russell felt about Anne’s father and sister in comparison to her mother?

@princess-shepherdess said:

Malec and Persuasion fusion are the match made in heaven tbh. Second chances! Two people in love finding their way back to each other! YES GOOD MORE OF THAT!! Alec as Anne Elliott is a delight. Maryse as Lady Russell is also an interesting choice because I’ve got so many conflicting feelings about both of them.

I’m also intrigued by Magnus in this universe and maybe a little bit worried; ngl I’ve never been very fond of Captain Wentworth  

I really quite like Lady Russell because she does mean well, she loves Anne with all her heart and she truly thought she was helping. (She wasn’t, obviously, but there’s a reason Anne never thinks there’s even anything to forgive, though obviously Frederick had some different opinions there.)

And yes! Anne is my favorite for many of the same reasons Alec is, perception and self-worth and external validation issues that are so related... though she’s not quite as salty 😅

I’m not sure what to do with the second half of that because I love Wentworth beyond rhyme or reason? If it helps, you can do a correlation with their temper; Magnus is quite capable of being vengefully petty after all, and Wentworth refuses to see Anne how she is when they meet again in the future, largely because he’s still holding on to how much Anne hurt him.

/the fact that she hurt herself more is not a thing he would have any way of knowing, really, though perhaps it should have been obvious to anyone who knew her well. But he perhaps didn’t know her as well as he thought? It was not a terribly long romance, the first time ‘round.

and @sharona1x2, I saw those lovely tags, I can rant about Magnus & Persuasion forever and ever feel free to ask any time *laughs*

(and wow I’m behind on my replies, this uh. keeps going. for awhile. sorry?)

Augh my HEART. After doing de Vega’s romance and then going back and seeing him at his worst, it was so PAINFUL. I love this.

Your answer for knight and prince(ss) filled me with squishy feelings, just - not being able to cross lines because he knows he’ll have to meet her eyes the next day? That SO PERFECTLY SUMS UP the beauty of that route and I think I have to replay now.

whoo! I AM ALWAYS HAPPY TO BE BLAMED FOR REPLAYS

I mean, I can see him dangling off a dinosaur skeleton and swearing? That seems entirely in character :D (Or trying to hide a torn dress with his fancy hat. Basically, apparently, I need to watch Bringing Up, Baby again. As Always.)

Can I just say, I’m sold on your Wing!fic wip? Like if you end up finishing and posting it, I will definitely read this. The idea of Alec’s wings flirting with Magnus with a s1 Alec attached to them is pure gold. I think the idea or fake-hating is interesting 🧐it’s a nice twist. Also… don’t mind if I go check out your Mer-curse series 💨

WHY THANK YOU ON ALL COUNTS!

And yes, I love the idea of wing!fic, I’m glad other people do too, I’m just bad at actually writing atm. 😅😭😐🤷🏻‍♀️

@la-muerta said:

I would read demon!Magnus contemplating priest!Alec’s feelings/thoughts/beliefs on faith!                      

YAY. I am enjoying it, I just have no idea where I’m going if it’s no longer slightly heretical smut in front of the angel stained glass 🤣

awww, thank you (istg, that’s not even that angsty? In comparison? I mean. It’s a sequel to the “he died” after all.)

Ninth Dimension, Seventh Lane

by @ohfreckle

Rating: Teen and Up

Pairings: Magnus/Alec

Side Pairings: Simon/Izzy, Alec/Underhill

Summary: After the Lightwood siblings found out that they weren’t working for the good guys, they broke with the Clave. They’re on the run now in a stolen Firefly transporter, trying to make it to Earth, which has been deserted for centuries, to to hide the Mortal Cup so it can’t be used against Downworlders. Between working jobs as smugglers and his relationship with his security officer, Alec isn’t exactly happy, but content. Until Magnus Bane, warlock and companion, joins them as a passenger.

janoda replied to your post “fishuus replied to your post “Like I don’t want to tag anyone...”

it's also not the first time i've heard complaints about their customer service and handling of their kickstarter... and I'm not in the fandom AT ALL, so that definitely means it's persistent enough to remain an issue.

Yeah I knew there were some problems with the Year 2 one, but I never realized it was this bad. There’s still no word on will it’ll be fixed.

[wrangletangle]

janoda replied to your post “Hey, if y’all could think about doing me a little favor? If you’re...”

I'm not saying Erik and Erik would be friends, but I'm thinking they have very much the same ideas and a similar view on justice justifying the deeds... So I'm saying I'd read all the fics where Magneto and Killmonger meet.

Ok, yes, you have a very good point. It would be interesting, at least! Probably a high body count though.

I do honestly prefer this type of antagonist (can’t quite bring myself to say “villain” here). It’s good to have story conflict that raises real questions.

[singingwordwright]

I am so on board with your Robert theory... also because in the books (bane chronicles) he's actually the one circle member who actually murders other shadowhunters (and Magnus is a witness to that) and he just never does any penitence for that and argh, he's such a sleazeball. They can't use that because they don't have those rights, but if your theory is on, it's a great way to keep the essence of that storyline and dammmmnnn, I want this so much.

I actually had a really terrible thought while I was re-watching to write my 2x19 recap.

Valentine specifically says that he received a fire message from his operative in Idris.

In 2x16, Robert was yelling at Max for messing with some fire messages he’d sent.

What if Max figures it out?

What if the reason they didn’t have Sebastian kill Max was because too many people knew it was coming because they’d already read the books.

…so instead, they kill Max another way.

@magnusbanecat said: but what is robert’s motivation to side with valentine? it seems he’s ok with magnus, a dw, when max was hurt?

In one of the Tales From Shadowhunter Academy short stories, they get into Robert’s history with the Circle, which basically amounts to “Robert was a giant coward.” The reason he followed Valentine–to the point of repudiating his own parabatai, Michael Wayland, when it turned out Michael (who was already questioning Valentine’s way of doing things) was in love with Robert–was because Valentine said to him “follow me and I’ll make all your choices for you and you won’t ever have to be afraid because it’s all on me.”

It was a huge lie, of course, but that’s basically the core of Robert’s personality. In the books, he outgrows it somewhat, but the argument could easily be made that he goes back to the Circle because it seems the path of least resistance. He thinks Valentine will win, and he wants safety and protection for himself and his family after that happens.

One could also easily make the case that he’s not, in fact, okay with Magnus, or downworlders, but that he’s too cowardly to be forthright about the fact that his Nephilim-supremacist tendencies are still very present and active. Because remaining silent is, again, the path of least resistance, at least until he knows it’s safe to go public with them.

Hi! I was wondering if Kiem has a last name?

Technically not! The central royal family only have a personal name and their title. However sometimes they need a surname for convenience, for instance enrolling in education, and at times like that the convention is to take the surname of the non-royal parent (there is usually one non-royal parent). So for Kiem that would be ‘Tegnar’.

Yes, we have decided to make one, and we will link it in the prompt posts! It’s only gonna be optional, and you will still have to make a Tumblr post to tag with #shaumondays so we can add your work to the blog.

For the starting scene writing ask game: the og Malec Persuasion AU, what was the scene that started that for you?

That was, honestly enough, the first thing I ever posted for Malec & Shadowhunters, and was inspired by one of the early scenes in s1 where they’re standing next to each other on a balcony not touching. There’s literally maybe a hands-breadth between them though, and they’re both entirely aware of that space, and that sort of physicality is one of my favorite things about a good regency.

So the fic idea was just them meeting, and there being this space between them, and both of them knowing there was absolutely no way to cross it.

ALSO Regency!Magnus with boots so highly polished they’re almost mirrors was a mental image I had to share.

@janoda you are SO welcome!! i love dissecting lyrics and translating stuff back and forth between english and italian so this is just as fun for me as it is for you, if not more :D

as to your question: very well spotted, “piccola stella senza cielo” (little star without a heaven) is absolutely about cas, specifically the way he doesn’t really fit with the other angels anymore after falling. NB: of course cas is not “little” by any definition but we know dean is constantly aiming a wifification ray at him (see: “baby in a trenchcoat”, “huggy bear”, “a weird dorky little guy”, “yea high”, generally treating him like a cute n cuddly lil nerd) so like. the song is just in dean/dino POV lmao. the second half hits especially hard:

hold yourself up; the other stars are willing enough it’s just that sometimes, you don’t think it’s enough for you maybe it will come to pass that your eyes will close again or maybe it’ll just be a half-hour parenthesis. you will burn up, little star without a heaven you will appear, and we’ll be enchanted as you explode mid-flight you will melt after a trail, a breath, a veil you will break off, because you’re only held up by a thread, y’know
