#joyride is a good song tho

[bubblebassfatass]

Track 3 not worried: this is for my weird and slightly unsettling girlies with the white aesthetic

listening to irisiri by earth eater reaction thread

track 1 peripheral: this first song is okay but a little weird

track 2 inclined: straight up bad vocals but I see the vision

[ausrache]

i had one hell of a day yesterday. i was crying the whole day, feeling everything in me just collapse and it was . . . bad. it was just bad, without going in too many details. i'm probably gonna be rather quiet on all fronts until the weekend, at least in terms of ooc communication. not sure where ic will take me but i'll see. writing has always been a bit cathartic for me but i'm also just tired. thank you for understanding <3 have a good one everybody!

[wiredsignal]

i would say 'was anyone gonna tell me there was such a good car fucker song as joyride by kesha or did i have to find that out from a rgu amv' but it looks pretty recent so. okay. cool tho

[shitouttabuck]

wrote a line about ranking taylor swift songs by dangerous romantic lyrical anecdotes about driving and i found my own list and i’m right so i’m saying it: least to most perilous lyrics about being in a car with taylor swift

19. this is a big world, that was a small town / there in my rear-view mirror disappearing now, white horse (excellent employment of basic skills, great spatial awareness, proper driving etiquette is being followed, she knows objects in the mirror ARE closer than they appear)

18. “i rent a place on cornelia street” / i say casually in the car, cornelia street (normal, she’s not talking to the driver but she is confirming her address. always good to know where you’re dropping someone off so they can whack that into the gps)

17. remember when i pulled up and said “get in the car” / and then cancelled my plans just in case you’d call, august (pretty romantic but also admitting to being kind of a loser. it’s summer, go joyriding with your friends, babe. no one’s in harm’s way i guess, she pulls over AND announces her arrival, very thoughtful)

16. i complained the whole way there / the car ride back and up the stairs, marjorie (not a risk to anyone’s physical wellbeing, but would you really want to be stuck on a long drive while she complains the whole time. i would not)

15. you’re on your very first date and he’s got a car, fifteen (general discomfort about getting into a car with a high schooler behind the wheel idk)

14. kissing in my car again / stopped at a streetlight, betty (mostly safe, car is parked on an illuminated part of the road)

13. it’s two am in your car / windows down, you pass my street, i wish you would (a little late to be out, but we’ll give them the benefit of the doubt and hope they are making sensible vehicular choices even while doing some light stalking)

12. i want to drive away with you / i want your complications too, paper rings (acknowledging that they have some stuff going on—it’s not clear if this impacts their automobile operating capabilities)

11. i’m drunk in the back of the car / and i cried like a baby coming home from the bar, cruel summer (at first glance, this seems fine. she is in the backseat. but if i was a cab driver and had a beautiful woman weeping copiously in my backseat, i would not be giving the road in front of me 100% of my attention i promise you that)

10. the road not taken looks real good now / and it always leads to you in my hometown, ’tis the damn season (she does not know where she is driving even if she knows where she’ll end up. googlemaps cannot help her on this journey)

9. we could follow the sparks, i’ll drive / “so where we gonna go?” i whisper in the dark / “where we gonna go?” i think he knows, i think he knows (‘sparks’ do not a good map make. she’s driving in the dark but we must assume she’s following the rules of the road. unfortunately, she’s relying on him for directions, and it is uncertain if he knows where they’re headed. we can expect navigation issues at the very least)

8. so baby, drive slow / till we run out of road // in this passenger seat / you put your eyes on me, fearless (they are PLANNING on driving till the road simply. ends. where are they. sounds dodgy. u-turns definitely involved. also, implied that the driver is looking at her while driving? eyes on the road buddy)

7. every little bump in the road i tried to swerve, breathe (sometimes avoiding the pothole is worse than the pothole……)

6. got a one-hand feel on the steering wheel / the other on my heart, our song (if you’re driving stick this is a dangerous game my friend!)

5. you come and pick me up / no headlights, style (no headlights at night???? AND presumably about one harry styles, notoriously bad driver at the best of times????? license REVOKED)

4. you almost ran the red ’cause you were looking over at me, all too well (a traffic crime was very nearly committed, we have this written confession. romantic as hell tho bro you can keep your license)

3. you were driving the getaway car / we were flying, but we’d never get far, getaway car (a crime has FOR SURE been committed. they are probably driving over the speed limit. other descriptions of her experience in this car include the words “crying” and “dying”. does not seem like a good or stable time is being had)

2. pulled the car off the road to the lookout / could’ve followed my fears all the way down, this is me trying (she fully threatens to drive off the fucking cliff what more is there to say)

1. nothing safe is worth the drive, treacherous (look. some people might be wondering why this is the most hazardous of these lyrics. but you must understand, she is getting in the car with the SINGULAR INTENTION of being unsafe, no matter what that looks like. unhinged and beautiful. i’m buckling myself into the passenger seat)

Tagged by @heavenseraph Thanks xoxo

Favorite Color(s): black is the all-time favorite. But also dark red and dark green.

Last Song (I've listened to): Joyride By Ke$ha. I had seen it in some edits, and I wanted to check it out. Anmnd I really liked it!

Currently Reading: I just started He who drowned the world by Shelly Parker-Chan. The first book (She who became the sun) was everythinggg. And so far, the second book is just as good.

Current Craving: something meaty tbh. I might cook chicken for dinner.

Coffee or Tea: Coffee! I like it in almost every presentation. I have tried tea again and again, but it's just not my thing.

I tag @catacombchrysalis @loafofryebread @dreaming-of-hope @littlelatinboyindragv (no pressure tho)

And honestly, anyone who sees this and wants to do it! ❤️

[j-restlessgeek]

[aviel-the-trans-bucket]

Welcome back madlads to my journey through the music of mcr members post-breakup pre-reunion. Today we’ll be listening to Stomachaches by frnkiero andthe cellebration. I’m not sure what to expect but I’m in the mood to be suprised, all I know is I hope it rocks my shit.

As I write the last 3 posts in advance at 5 am on a Saturday because my sleep schedule is fucked, I’ve come to realize I don’t have all that much to say. I’m unsure what to expect going into this, but I suppose that’s all part of the journey . Let’s begin this adventure together shall we?

All I Want Is Nothing: ok so far it sounds good, and I’m just now realizing I’ve never really gotten a good listen to Frank’s voice (I haven’t watched any interviews besides solo ones from Gerard 😬). Ok this sounds kickass ngl. I like this it bangs. So I’m liking where this is going, the sound is good and I’m thinking maybe this might be a bit more my speed than hesitant alien was even tho it did grow on me.

Weighted: Song 2 let’s go, ok very moody. Ok this rocks, I dig this vibe. Shit I need lyrics these are audio only and I have processing issues. Ok I like this it’s nice, it’s not quite blasting my tits off but I feel it in my bones this album has the potential to.

Blood Infections: ok this bangs, I’m really digging his moody vibe. Oh shit yea no this fucks. I dig this, his voice kinda hot ngl 👀. So this one did tickle my brain good but still not punching me in the face.

She's the Prettiest Girl at the Party, and She Can Prove It with a Solid Right Hook: oooo tasty guitar opening. Aw this is pretty. This is really sweet, I like this. Just a really cute vibe, fuck yea man. I love songs dripping with just this tenderness.

Stitches: ok sick beat, this has a vibe I feel like I’ve felt before but I can’t put my finger on where. It’s vibes, it’s a banger. It kinda fucks, it’s a headbanger for sure.

Joyriding: ok I like the rhythm (I’m only doing audio but I’ll probably go back and and watch the music videos) oh shit this is what I was waiting on! This one blasts my tits clean off! Fuck yea!! Yea this one fucking slaps!

Stage 4 Fear of Trying: oooo guitar beloved. Oh damn the vocals are a bit cleaner and he sounds nice damn. This is a feelings song isn’t it, shit. This is gonna be one that makes my emotional wounds sting. The music is fucking gorgeous tho, and he sounds great.

Tragician: oh fuck hell yea! This bangs out the gate, also for like half a second the guitar sounded like the opening to I’m not okay. Yea this is sick, you can really rock to most of these but especially this one.

Neverenders: ok this is looking like bangers all the way down. This slaps, but again joyriding was the only one to get close to the music feeling like it decked me in the face. It’s great but not quite obliterating me y’know.

Smoke Rings: oh opening was fresh, that’s nice. Ok it does bang, but I’m bad at descriptions but it does bang different from the last 2. It’s sick af tho.

Guilttripping: ok this is nice. A bit of a slower tempo. I don’t have a whole lot of thoughts on it. It’s a nice song, I’m neutral on it.

Where Do We Belong? Anywhere But Here: oh I heard that note. Does guilttripping lead straight into this song? Raking strings and grainy audio, sick. There it is! There’s the punch in the fucking face! Goddamn!

So the album was, good. I liked most of the songs but for most I don’t feel particularly strongly about them. I think in my own opinion it did kinda get a little stale towards the end before the last song went hard. It’s a good vibe and I do really like his voice but idk. My top 5 of the album would have to be…

1: Joyriding

2: Where Do We Belong? Anywhere But Here

3: Tragician

4: Stitches

5: Weighted

Well first album down and I’m excited for more, I wanna see if he’s got a song that’s really gonna blow me away. I’m honestly starting to understand the picture a bit more, what makes mcr so appealing to me is it’s some of the best of all of the members at the same time. One of my favorite songs of Gerard’s solo career was the hazy shade of winter cover with Ray. I’m honestly a bit worried to really wow me it’s gotta be all 4 of them. The next post will be the keep the coffins coming ep and parachutes album, see you next time madlads.

[vacantgodling]

ooo thank you thank you!! i'm blushin ngllll

idk something hits different about people complimenting your music taste lmaoo

BUT for the crack & goofy songs

bang! by AJR i'm mostly just thinking of the band just saying FUCK IT and doing a lot of wild shit. like who cares y'know?? shoplifting at the mall, joyriding, robbing a bank idc lolol like they're just having a good time because they're just over everything that's been going on and its morrreee goofy than it is crack. its a bonding exercise.

fiance by mino is so much harder to explain in the context of paramour but basically i love mino-he's a great artist. but fiance just makes me CACKLE especially when i think about his personality (like the artist). like the song itself, i sing/listen to when i'm being goofy. so in the context of amon and hya i'm really just imagining an au where amon is EXTREMELY FORWARD about his feelings for hya with absolutely no shame and is kind of sleazy about it and idk it just makes me laugh to think about it

(which ones are you saving tho i am very curious)

All the odd asks for Paramour and Lukewarm Rejection? 👀👀👀

tumblr just ate my answer and i’m Extremely annoyed bc i had so many LINKS UGH

the easiest thing is i’m going to make spotify playlists for the answers to all of these songs in the order of the question bc TUMBLR YOU ASS.

anyway the questions are:

An ironic song that isn't really that ironic

A song that 🥺 ouchie hurts angst

A song for a badass scene

A song for a scary scene

A song for a trailer or amv of a character

A song for a kiss (i did kiss for both)

A song that doesn't make sense on the playlist without a long explanation (i feel like i didn’t have many songs like this so rip)

A song to make a crack (goofy) video to

A song a character dances to

Villain arc song

For add your own category i did music they’ve probably fucked to pff

LUKEWARM REJECTIONS PLAYLIST:

PARAMOUR’S PLAYLIST:

[moonlit-imagines]

Headcanons for Friends to Lovers with Rodrick Heffley

Rodrick Heffley x reader

warnings: mentions of a bad home life

a/n: YALL I FUVKING DID IT AND IM TERRIFIED OF THE REPERCUSSIONS

prompt: y/n and rodrick have been friends for a long time, so long boundaries seem to be blurred

you’ve actually known rodrick since elementary school

it all started when he asked you to join his band

“i can play drums, you can play the tambourine because that’s the only other instrument i have! it’ll be wicked!”

your band lasted a week and only had one gig, it was for rodrick’s parents

who LOVED you by the way

they somehow permitted you to sleepover almost every other day, you practically lived at their house

FOR YEARS you did this

terrorizing lil greg

“what’s he gonna do, pee his diaper?”

“rodrick!!!”

always trick or treating together, exchanging candy when you got back go his house (or occasionally yours)

you guys didnt like hanging at your house, your parents were kind of....a lot to handle

starting middle school together, wreaking havoc on all the teachers

rodrick did it to impress you, according to mr. and mrs. heffley

but he’d give you a stupid little smirk from across the classroom after he got scolded so you believed them

whenever anyone gave you shit at school, rodrick wouldn’t hesitate to step in and show them who’s boss

“rodrick, you’re gonna get detention again!”

“yeah, well, i’m not gonna let them be mean to you”

you went to his house after school most days, sometimes you’d get there first while he was in detention

mrs. heffley had after school snacks

“y/n, why don’t you play some video games with greg while you wait for rodrick to get home?”

playing wii sports with greg, who cried when you won

you also had time to do homework while you waited, rodrick usually copied afterwards

when rodrick came home, he’d drag you to the garage to show you his drum skills

he hit himself in the head with his drumstick

“ooh, that’s gonna leave a mark”

next step was high school, which was a weird step up

but you guys had each other

you still spent most nights at the heffley residence, but you had to sleep on the couch instead of on the floor in the attic (aka rodricks lair)

“you two are growing up, so we think it’s best that you don’t sleep in the same room together, right?”

rodrick emptied one of his drawers for you to put your clothes in

but you still end up stealing his clothes half the time

“i wish i could be mad, but you wear all of my clothes better than me”

subconsciously doing couple-y things without realizing it

like rodrick would pull you closer to him when you two were together, put his arm around you, give you his jacket, etc

“are you guys serious? you’ve got to be dating!” -everyone

“rodrick, when are you and y/n going to get together?” -mr. and mrs. heffley

the answer was always the same: “we’re just friendssssss”

watching his band practice and cheering him on no matter what

you’re his guest vocals ☺️

when he got the van, it was a whole new world for you guys

you could go out wherever whenever

(with parent approval usually)

“wanna go ride around for a little while? hit a gas station and get a bunch of candy?”

“do you even have to ask?”

watching scary movies in his room

“platonic” cuddling in his bed

stuffing your face in the crook of his neck during scary scenes

“come on, y/n! it’s not that bad!”

him having to hold onto you for comfort so you’d keep watching with him

sometimes falling asleep together and his mom or dad coming to check on you later

“alright, time for bed! y/n, you get your usual couch...”

laughing your ass off at rodrick when he messes with greg

manny loves you, sometimes rodrick is jealous of the attention you give to his baby brother instead of him

rodrick scooping you up in his arms when you least expect it, never fails to make you scream

“hey there, hot stuff”

“you’re impossible!”

roller skating together, he held your hand the whole time bc he was worried you’d fall

his friends ENDLESSLY taunt him over your relationship

when he makes plans with others, he always says “let me ask y/n first” which just SENDS his friends oh my god

“dude, that’s your s/o!”

“no, they’re not! shut up!”

hating being apart a lot its so stressful

sometimes you’d have a pretty hard time at home and show up to his house at odd hours, but you were always welcome

you have your own key

“hey, what’s wrong?”

“my parents...they’re just the worst”

rodrick knows its bad when you start crying

he took you up to his room and played some music (quietly as not to wake the house)

you laid on top of him while he rubbed your back and told you that he was there for you

dozing off on him, as per usual

dude, the amount of pictures you have? astronomical

you playing his drums, the two of you going 🤘, an actual nice picture of you guys, him carrying you on his back, kiddos on your first day of school by year, you kissing his cheek “platonically”

comforting him when he was having his own hard times, whether it be an argument with his parents/greg, difficulties with musical inspiration, or anything else

“come here, you need a hug”

“i need several”

“you’ll get ‘em”

talent show! talent show! talent show!

you completely cussed out the rest of his band before they went on bc they had the audacity to replace him

but greg managed to save the day

“greg, my dude, give me a high five, that was awesome”

he wasn’t actually half bad but like, his mom kinda stole the show

more joyrides in the van

absolutely BLASTING the music in there while you and rodrick sat on the floor in the back and ate the taco bell you’d just picked up

“dude, you gotta try my potato griller, it’s a godsend”

“okay, but try this slushie, its so good. i mean, not as good as a 7-eleven slushie, but it’s up there”

finishing your food and laying in the van for another hour bc you just loved each other’s company

but after sitting together alone for so long, you felt like there was something left to do, what was it?

you and rodrick were moving around a bunch and ended up next to each other sitting against the wall of the van

you looked over at each other and hesitated before leaning in to kiss

and you guys kissed for a while

okay, so, you made out on the floor of his van with led zeppelin playing in the background

✨magical✨

it wasn’t awkward or anything, just long overdue

okay it was a little awkward actually

“well, that was” *clears throat* “that was cool or whatever”

“yeah...wanna do it again?”

“oh, for sure”

not like it was a surprise to anyone when you announced you were FINALLY dating

“wait, you guys just started dating? i thought you’d been together for like, at least 5 years” -mr. heffley

“this is great! obviously, we’ll need to set up some boundaries so that everyone is comfortable and safe, but yay for young love!” -mrs. heffley

“gross” -greg

mrs. heffley wrote a column in the newspaper about you titled “my teenage son’s fantastic significant other”

not much changed after you and rodrick got together, just kissing, “i love you’s” and more teasing from friends and school faculty

“we were all rooting for you two, actually!” -the teachers

summer vacation with him

it was always SWEET

going to the pool together, he’d usually lay out on the chairs with you but you were able to drag him into the pool a few times

“come onnnn, it’ll be funnnn”

“you’re lucky you’re cute”

hugs from behind!!! kisses on the top of ur head!!!!

PROM AH HAH HAH

seeing rodrick in a tux was too funny for you, you almost couldn’t stop laughing (especially at the eyeliner he insisted on wearing)

but he just couldn’t stop staring at you

“rodrick!”

“what?! you’re stunning!”

honestly, prom wasn’t all it was cracked up to be

you danced like maniacs for a few songs and ended up ditching early on

but you did end up renting a bunch of movies and getting tonssss of snacks and changing into pajamas as soon as you got to his house

im talking popcorn, candy bars, ice cream, cans of pop, chips, chicken nuggets and so on

and also passing out on each other

“i think i love you a little more, i didn’t know that was possible”

“i have that effect on people”

he makes u breakfast before his mom gets the chance though

“pancakes? for me?”

“i put chocolate chips in them too, you’re gonna love them”

(they were a lil bit burned, still good tho)

you guys really did just spot on get each other

okay but i know you also roast each other sometimes so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

relationship goals, honestly

fresh outta ideas 🤠 goodnight

[euclydya]

hi i have been very busy between work and figuring out the kid's insurance and apartment bs (i have experience in construction but it's against the terms of my lease to fix plumbing shit myself so my landlord made us have like a week of maintenance guys coming in and out for what i could've fixed in two nights -_-). i hope y'all've been alright though!

today's recommendations: fuck off by jayne county for billy, party til armageddon by jayne county for eddie, we are golden by mika for steve, good guys by mika for will, and pretty in pink by scene queen for chrissy.

Hi!! we have been good yeah!! That sounds sO fucking annoying though Jesus Christ <//3

All of these songs are SO good, pretty in pink especially!! Jayne County's a musician we should listen to more as well omg 👀

Our recs (almost everyone's kinda asleep tho so I'll be, uh. playing messenger I think is the term! -Wilford):

Be Gone - Brand New (Steve's rec)

Highly recommend that you listen to the live version first, if you want to even Possibly understand the lyrics /lighthearted. We've been obsessed with this song recently—all the lyrics on any lyric site is incorrect and that's Weird And Annoying. The only live version available is the one we linked. The lyrics in the studio version are way more chopped up and hard to understand. It's so weird!!! We Lov It Though <3 -Wilford

You're Crashing, But You're No Wave - Fall Out Boy (Eddie's rec)

Neither Eddie nor I can remember if this one's been rec'd before? I don't think so but my memory's horrendous lmao.

Another collective favourite sure, but Eddie easily relates it to hex's source tbh -Wilford

Hazy - Red Vox (Billy's rec)

We've been watching a lotta Vinesauce recently and every now n then remember that Vinny also has a band?? his music is really fuckin good. haven't listened to anything recent of his but Hazy & Ghost Page are tied for bein our top favourite Red Vox songs tbh!!

very fitting for the weather too I think. It gives off a cold n foggy vibe -Billy

Joyriding - Frank Iero (Will's rec)

Another song we don't remember if we've recommended before :/ our memory is. Bad!

But! Chose it for the ending lyric!! We're kinda,, going momentarily dormant but We Will Be Back™. That is a threat! (/lighthearted) -Will

Cheerleader - St. Vincent (Chrissy's rec)

Thematically appropriate, I think :3c -Chrissy

—

and,, Yeah as Will said. They're kinda. Going dormant currently, which brings us to this question: if they aren't gonna be fronting much at all for a while would you still wanna continue sharing songs? It's cool if not we understand, but. Yeah. ahajsjskdj

If so, then. Here's a couple songs from Dark & I:

Do It All The Time - IDKhow (my rec!)

House of Memories - P!ATD (Dark's rec!)

Thank you so much for the songs, your music taste really is good!! :D -Wilford

[generallyunskilled]

I have thought of a song that I think would be really good for c!Tommy. Joyriding by Frank Iero and The Cellabration.

It just really fits him with its big theme of being a bit of a coming of age song but also having a lot of mental health struggles and sorrows that you know you need help with but still pushing everything away and you don’t really know why. The main point really is suffering because you feel like it’s selfish to reach out.

That’s kinda how Tommy’s character is right now. Yeah, he did contact Puffy about therapy but he’s not really done anything to use the support system he has. Granted, Tommy also doesn’t feel like there is any support for him, he feels abandoned, but he still has that “lonely in a crowd of people” vibe the song has.

It’s an alt-rock song, so if that’s not your thing you don’t have to listen to it but if you do like that sort of music I’d say give it a listen. Just a heads up tho if you check out the music video, there’s blood in it. A lot of blood.

[yourlocalkrankenpflegerin]

EventhoIamquitechaotic

[cruisercrusher]

for the fic-writing ask, 13, 15, 2, and 9. and the new perspective au.

U//w//U

13- what music did you listen to for this story...?

I have a whole official playlist!

It’s not 100% complete tho, might add more songs later. Yes, it is in order of plot. For reference, this last chapter was at the joyriding by frank iero point

15- what did you learn from writing this fic?

Lots of stuff, the most research I did was in terms of football, but I’ve barely retained any of that information. The second most researched thing I’m looking at for this fic is court/legal procedures. And I also tried doing some math to figure out how much student loan debt obi wan. The answer is a lot

2- what scene did you first put down?

Well I wrote out the plot of the fic as a whole first, but the first actual scene I wrote is the very first one— I started at the beginning of chapter one. After that when I had more ideas for scenes I wrote them down in a separate doc for later use. I think one of the first future scenes I wrote down was part of the conversation Cody and Obi Wan had in chapter 10, it was sitting in my planning doc for like months before I used it lol

9- where there any alternate versions of this fic?

Sort of yeah, originally Rex and Key’s subplot was going to go very differently, I changed my mind literally as I was working on chapter 12. The old one wasn’t nearly as good

Thank you for this lol I love answering questions about the au 💖💖💖💖

[daily-davenport]

Not drawing stuff today so have a Davenport-centric AU I’ve been thinking of for funsies!

[Haven’t decided on a fun name yet tho - “Lucretia gets Yeeted AU”, “Edward and Lydia Joyride AU” or “Johann is harassed by a Giant Invisible Jellyfish AU” are probably the best ones I got so far for levity’s sake. Or just “Animus AU” for brevity’s sake?? Anyway - there’s the Animus Bell, Lucretia has Bad Luck and Davenport gets a job.]

Set up

Basically, Lucretia fails in Wonderland. She spins slightly different on the wheel and instead of giving up time, she has to give up some memories - that she refuses. Since the Animus Bell lets the Wonderland Liches see contestants’ memories, they see something interesting and decide, “Oh let’s not let this one go”, and don’t offer the Escape Game.

Lucretia eventually lands on Bad Luck and ends up experiencing an “Arms Outstretched” moment without someone stretching out.

The twins saw Lucretia has some things they very much want: a cool plane-jumping ship, a jellyfish that eats memories, and a potentially powerful vessel who can’t currently fight them (i.e. a voided Davenport).

Lydia possesses Lucretia’s body and Lu-Lydia and Edward make their way to the ship.

Davenport, even in his Voided state, can tell something is Very Wrong and somehow ends up breaking Fisher’s tank and accidentally drinks some of the ichor.

He’s too dazed but recognizes, whoever this not-Lucretia is, they can’t have access to whatever Fisher’s power is and manages to distract the twins and make Fisher undetectable - Fisher escapes but Davenport also gets soul-yeeted.

Edward possesses Davenport (they use illusion magic, I’m sure they’re pumped about having a vessel who can do high level ill. spells).

Meanwhile, Kravitz is having a field day cause super-death-criminal Lucretia just showed up in the Astral Sea out of the blue in utter anguish. Then a second one shows up and Lucretia is not having a great time.

Plot things happen and Lucretia and Davenport manage to strike a deal with the Raven Queen - for one year* they help Kravitz and try collecting the Relics and save this Plane from the Hunger. If their term of service runs out and it turns out they’re lying about the Hunger, they go to the Eternal Stockade forever. (*a period of time subject to change)

Fun Stuff to Consider

LUCRETIA AND DAVENPORT.

Davenport is mad as hell but he has to work together with Lucretia (and chaperone Kravitz) while their goals are different.

Lucretia feels awful but still believes her actions just and vows to not fail again.

Lucretia still wants to find all the relics and enact her Barrier Plan. Davenport does not necessarily want to find all the relics - just the Animus Bell because they’ll find the Starblaster too - and initially wants to leave this plane to its fate and try again.

Davenport “lives” in this plane and grows attachments and is conflicted about just leaving. He would still chose to leave for the Greater Good I think but that’s interesting to think about (he deffo has a moment with Hurley and Sloane natch).

Kravitz having to work with these two powder kegs.

Davenport and Lucretia working together on a dime to casually sabotage Kravitz’ efforts to catch Barry but also trying to use their new powers to search for Lup.

BARRY. Does he see possessed Lucretia and Davenport?? Does he know they’re possessed?? If he does, how does he react knowing they might be dead?? Or does he see Reaper Luc and Dav?? Barry this was your Relic’s fault!!

Edward and Lydia’s bonds can make the Bond Engine run Very Well

Fisher still finds Johann cause it hears his music and proceeds to hang out around him cause it likes his songs. Johann is distressed cause invisible force is eating his music and suddenly he can’t remember his songs but also he realizes it likes his songs so he gives it concerts.

Johann and Possible Eldritch Creature Friendship ™

Then Fisher splashes Johann and suddenly HOLY SHIT JELLYFISH cause he ended up drinking some ichor. but he’s the only one who can see them??

Key Plot Points

Edward and Lydia try using the Animus Bell to bass-boost the Bond Engine to summon Keats. (I also like the idea of Edward-Davenport studying manuals trying to figure out extra-planar physics and being like, “HAVING THE KNOWLEDGE DOESN’T MAKE ME UNDERSTAND IT”)

Either they tear a gigantic hole between planes or Magic Cycle it and drag the Astral Plane into the Prime Material Plane. 

The baby Voidfish! Johann co-raising Junior. Possibly Johann writing a song so good, the Voidfish ends up broadcasting the song and EVERYTHING LUCRETIA VOIDED. There is some chaos.

All of Faerun know the Birds and that a terrible horror is coming. I admit I haven’t thought of how the general populace reacts to this knowledge as much but Lu-Lydia and Daven-ward take advantage of their bods’ sudden celebrity status.

This is earlier so Governor Kalen hasn’t gotten his revenge on Raven’s Roost yet. Magnus remembers and Julia lives dang it. They team up to go and find the Relics and the other birds.

Merle had already left home and parleys, trying to reunite the birds (he can’t summon the undead - or else would he summoned Lup right? - so he fears the worst when he can’t contact Barry, Lucretia or Davenport.)

I can’t decide when Taako is at this point but he’s on a war path LUCRETIA. (He might deflect from the THB and go off with Barry to search for Lup later on??)

Tres Horny Boys and Julia are back together and go relic hunting (they probably head for the Chalice first since that’s the one they know where is)

Lucretia and Davenport probably try steering Kravitz away from the THB in case they suffer divine retribution.

The THB+1 run into Lu-Lydia and Daven-ward without knowing about the possession.

That’s all I have so far (I can’t figure out how Lup fits in ;; !) - I’m not planning on doing anything with this but I’m having fun with it

14, 16, 17, 30?

Oh, wow, that’s quite an info dump lol let’s do it:

14. Classic, Dreamcast or Modern? Pick one.

That’s such a hard question, considering SA1 is a top 3 Sonic game to me; but honestly I love our current Modern boi (thank goodness they are calling him just “Sonic” again). It’s not only the fact that his improved design is totally supreme (Unleashed Sonic is top tier, LW and Forces did mess a little bit with that perfect design tho), but I tend to find him more fun and laid back when the Pontaff writing isn’t fucking everything up. I mean, I unironically find funny the exchange between Sonic and Infinite before his first boss fight, and Colors is also good fun, y’all are just meanies :c

16. Favourite Sonic soundtrack(s)?

Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood. Next question.

nah jkjk (or is it tho??)

It’s no secret that I fanboy CD, Adventure 1 and Unleashed’s soundtracks very hard. In addition, I’ve always loved Sonic 3 and Sonic Rush. The rest of the games don’t hold to the same highs as these ones for me, but to be honest sometimes it feels like I’m picking a favorite between all my children haha.

(Do fangames also count? Because I’m starting to feel the urge to gush about Sonic Before the Sequel and After the Sequel’s OST again.)

17. Favourite Sonic music track(s)?

Let me get the most important out of the way first: WITH ME.

Okay, other favs include: Flame Core (The Cavern), Jungle Joyride (Night), Pleasure Castle, Snowball Waltz, Fly In The Freedom, IceCap Act 2, Stardust Speedway (Past), Work It Out, I Am (All of Me) (fun fact: I used to hate that song back in 2011/12), Set In Motion and a whole lotta more that I probably forgot about lol.

Also: Metro Madness Act 1, Titanic Tower every single act, Foliage Furnace Act 1 (legit I cry every time I listen to it), Redhot Ride Act 1, Parhelion Peak Act 2. Told y’all I was going to gush about this stuff (?)

30. Excited for Sonic’s next birthday?

I think I’m more excited for what’s going to happen before and after the 29th birthday rather than the bday itself, unless they decide to throw a massive party again. I was telling a friend earlier today on Twitter that I’m way more excited for the next game, whenever that thing releases, because it could be the beginning of something special (I still have my hopes up lol)

Wow, that was a big answer, thanks for asking, Beev, it was a fun time :P

Chapter Five:

Part four:

As Kiro and I continued down the hall, I kept my defenses up high. Kiro almost got killed because of me. I wasn’t going to let it happen again. Especially if it was me that Montu was after, I couldn’t let Kiro get mixed up in it. Although, as I walked down that hall, I couldn’t help but admire the work that Montu had put into destroying me. From the lights to the dark metallic sheen of the walls, everything looked particularly upscale. If we were under any other circumstance, I would feel honored to have so much money spent on me. 

We had walked for a good amount of time before either of us spoke up. “So!” Kiro snapped and clapped his hand on his fist, “When are you taking off the helmet?”

“Never.” I deadpanned.

“Oh come on! Please?”

“Nope.”

“Well what if I guess who you are? Would you take it off then?”

I felt my palms start sweating.  “How could you guess? I came to the studio when you were on stage. You haven’t met me yet.”

“Hm, I guess you’re right.” Kiro paused for a moment, “... Then how about we play 20 questions! Ya, know, so I can get to know you better?” 

“Um…”  I bit my lip. I guess there was no way I could keep stuff from my Song Bird now. 

I sighed, “Sure. Why not?”

“Awesome!” I heard Kiro excitedly clap from next to me, “Ok, uh,... What do you like to do for fun?”

“... Joyride on my bike.” Even though Victor took that from me...

“Makes sense! Do you have any siblings?”

“Two brothers and two sisters.”

“Names?”

“Nope. Too personal.”

“Ah, dang.” Kiro laughed, “I thought I had you there. Uh, what do you do for a living?”

I paused, “...I help the police with consulting investigations.” 

“Really??” Kiro giddily asked, “What kind of investigations??”

“I’m afraid that’s classified.”

“Ah, I see... So, what is your job at Ike ‘n Bar Productions?”

“... I assist Bart.”

“Like his personal assistant, assistant?”

“Sure.”

“I can’t imagine you being a personal assistant.” Kiro scoffed.

I stopped and turned to look at Kiro with a raised eyebrow. “Excuse me?”

Kiro waved his hands defensively, “I mean-” The floor underneath us lit up. The same blue light that outlined Kiro's hand, outlined a square around my feet. The ground underneath me started shaking, making the both of us lose our balance. The light got brighter and brighter as the ground became more and more unstable. I closed my eyes and threw my hands in front of my face.

“What the hell?!” I yelled, still struggling to find my feet.

“Ike!” Kiro’s voice was coming from above me. I looked up and saw that the ground Kiro was on had started rising while I was descending. He reached his hand out to mine, “Give me your hand!” I stood on my tippy toes and reached for his hand, but I couldn’t quite close the distance. The gap between us slowly grew.

“Almost…” Kiro muttered, “Just a bit more.” He leaned forward as much as he could. Eyes brimming with concern and urgency. (Stage 8-14) I looked below me. 

“Ah, screw it.” I stepped back, “Brace yourself!” I called to Kiro. The ground stopped shaking. I took a step and leaped into the air. Kiro’s hand wrapped around my forearm and held tight as I slammed right into the side of the wall, breaking the strap to the helmet on my head and causing it to fly off of me. I looked down to see the helmet plummet down the endless chasm below me. I quickly turned to look up at Kiro.

“Don’t. Let. Go.” I spoke through my teeth as I tightened my grip on his forearm.

“Wouldn’t dream of it.” Kiro grinned through a pained expression. Kiro and I worked with each other to pull myself out of the hole. I took a step onto the rising wall, then a strong force pulled me upwards. I landed onto the ground and right into Kiro’s chest, where I could hear Kiro’s rapid breathing in my ear. “Are you all right?” he asked urgently, “Are you hurt?” I looked up and into Kiro’s starry eyes. The eyes that were such a beautiful ocean blue, I could almost swim in them from how close I was to him.

“Kiro.” I breathed, leaning closer to his face.

“Yeah?” Kiro said just as softly, a blush starting to form on his cheeks. I leaned in closer, further increasing the blush on Kiro’s cheeks. We were mere inches apart when I punched his arm. 

“Ow!” He scoffed, rubbing his arm, “Why did you-”

“You jerk!” I hit him again, “You knew it was me the whole time?!”

“Wh-”

“You called me ‘Ike’ just then! Don’t you dare try to get out of this!”

Kiro paused, then he laughed, “Of course I knew it was you Super Stranger! I knew it the moment you yelled at that poor director!”

“And yet you still asked me that stupid question?!” Each syllable ended with a hit to his chest, “You made me think you hated me!” Kiro grabbed my hands.

“Would you quit it?!” He laughed. I glared at him. His smile gradually fell. “I thought we were still playing our little game… which I guess wouldn’t have been so fun from how bad of a mood you were in.” Kiro looked me sincerely in the eyes, “Ike, I’m really sorry if I hurt your feelings. I really didn’t mean it. Please don’t be mad at me.” I huffed, struggling to find an excuse to keep my anger towards him. Then I sighed. I backed away from Kiro and sat on the ground. Kiro sat up, the worried expression he wore further deepening. He opened his mouth.

“I’m not angry at you.” I interrupted, holding up a hand, “We’re cool.”

“Thank goodness.” Kiro sighed heavily, “I don’t know what I’d do if The Super Stranger hated me.”

“Haven’t I already said no one can hate Kiro?” I arched my eyebrow, “Besides, you’re my sidekick. What was I going to do? Wait for your redemption arch?” Kiro laughed heartily, bringing a warm feeling to my heart. I looked down and the warm feeling vanished. Blood dripped down his forearm. Kiro followed my eyes and looked down.

“Oops!” He held his arm up to reveal a cut running down his forearm, “I must have cut it when I caught you.” Kiro smiled at me, “We need to find a better way of saving each other. One of us keeps getting hurt!” I glared at Kiro and took his arm. 

“Yeah, but I don’t have anything to patch you up with.” I mumbled, looking around the small room. 

“Wait! You do!” Kiro reached inside his pocket and pulled out a small white handkerchief. He handed it to me, “The one you had given me the day we had met was stained. So I got you another one! Too bad this one will be stained too.” I took the handkerchief and dressed Kiro’s wound.

“I don’t care about a handkerchief.” I said, “Just as long as you’re healthy.” I could feel Kiro’s stare bore a hole in my eyes but I didn’t dare meet them, keeping my focus on the handkerchief.

“Thank you, Ike.” His voice was so soft that I nearly missed his words. I looked up at him.

The floor we had been riding passed through a dark room then to an opening to a new room. This one was much bigger than the last, looking to be about the size of a basketball court. It was windowless and had the same dark metallic panelling and blue lighting as the previous hallway. 

Kiro and I stood up and looked around the room. The room was seemingly empty except for a long, dark, metallic door standing on the far wall. I nudged Kiro and walked over to it. There was another keypad beside the door but this time it had a QWERTY keyboard.

“What do you think it could be?” Asked Kiro. I hummed and drummed my fingers on my arm. 

“Well, with the last one, I put in a random code to see how many numbers were needed for the code. Maybe we could start there?” I bent down and started typing in random letters. The keyboard stopped typing after four letters then flashed red. A grinding noise came from behind us. Kiro and I turned and saw a panel from the floor slowly opening. The sound of metallic buzzing filled the air as drones flew out one by one from the hole. They formed a line in the air and flashed red lasers right towards us. Their laser zeroed in, pointing directly at my forehead. 

“Watch out!” Kiro lunged at me just in time for the drones to start shooting. The bullets whizzed over us to the control panel for the room, completely destroying it. A loud click came from the door as it swung open. The drones stopped shooting as their lasers came back on to look for their target.

“Go!” I shoved Kiro off of me and to the door, “I’ll distract them!”

“Are you nuts?” Kiro scoffed, “You’ll be-”

“They are after me, not you!” I looked up just in time for the drones to spot me with their lights again, “Go! I’ll follow!” I pushed off of the ground just as the drones started firing again. But, instead of stopping this time, the drones followed my movements. Keeping close to my tail as I ran around the room to lose them. I looked back and caught a glimpse of Kiro running into the room. Satisfied with the fact that he was safe, I started looking around the room for a way out of the predicament I was in. I spotted the opening on the floor.

An idea in mind, I made my way to it. The bullets rained relentlessly around me as I slid to the flooring. I grabbed an edge from the paneling and pulled it up. From the force of my Evol, I was able to peel it away easily, holding it in front of my face and blocking the bullets as they pelted the paneling. The bullets stopped and red lights lit up the ground around me. Taking advantage of the pause. I quickly bent the panel in my hand into an arch and threw it at the drones. The panel flew in a curve, crashing into the drones in their perfect line.

More drones came from the flooring. With no time to waste, I booked it to the door. Kiro stood there with an outstretched hand. I took it and, with help from his pull, I flew into the room. Kiro raced to the door and shut it. I ran over to it as well, offering extra support. 

We waited for what seemed like forever for any sign that the drones would come back. Eventually, Kiro sighed. “I think… we’re good.” He said, a hint of uncertainty playing at his tongue. I let go of the breath I was unaware that I was holding and panted heavily, falling to my knees and resting my head on the door. Kiro slid down next to me, placing a hand on my shoulder. “Are you alright?” He asked urgently, “Are you hurt?” I shook my head, answering both of the questions honestly. Kiro sighed and removed his hand. “Man.” He laughed, “They’ve got some weak defenses if that flimsy flooring could take them down.”

“Right.” I sighed, turning to sit next to Kiro. I looked around the dark room. It was nothing like the others. It was an average size, the walls and floor a dark grey, making the room seem dreary and uninviting. The carpet under us was hard, likely flattened after years of being walked on. At the back of the room was a metal desk with a keyboard and mouse. Six flat screen monitors hung from the wall and pointed to the singular wheely chair that sat in front of them. A computer sat under the desk, buzzing slightly.

I groaned as I slowly stood up. Kiro grabbed my arm quickly. “I don’t have a good feeling about this.” He whispered to me. I looked over to the computer.

“I’m sure we could take it.” I winked at Kiro. He smiled slightly but still kept a firm hold of my arm. I motioned for him to stand up. He did so, sliding his hand down into mine, stopping my heart in the process. I looked up at Kiro. 

His focus was locked on the computer. He had a strange look in his eyes. As if he had some idea what the computer might hold. But that would be impossible. Unless Kiro knew Montu in some way…

I shook my head. No. He couldn't. Kiro's life was just as at risk here as mine. 

Kiro’s eyes finally fell from the computer and onto me, catching my eyes in his. “Everything ok?” He asked, tightening his grip around my hand. I slowly nodded, turning from him and looking at the computer. 

“Let’s get a closer look.” I walked to the computer, releasing my hand from Kiro's to take the lead. Kiro stalled a moment but eventually joined my side. 

I inspected the monitors. Nothing seems off about them. I looked down at the desk.  A keyboard and mouse sat in the middle of it. I tapped the enter key. The screen in the middle of the six turned on. Another password needed to be typed in. “Ok, we get it.” I groaned, “You’re hiding something. Can we just get on with this stupid gambit?” I moved the keyboard to me. Kiro moved the keyboard back before I could start typing. 

“I don’t think we should just type something willy nilly into the computer.” He said seriously, “This isn’t the same as the others. If we don’t do this carefully, we’ll get kicked out.”

“That’s very inquisitive of you, Kiro, but what other choice do we have?” I reached my hand out to him, “Do you see a sign or a post-it note in here that tells us the password?”

“But-”

“Kiro, the only other way out of here is through the killer drones behind that door. If you’d rather deal with them then be my guest.” Without wasting any more time, I moved the keyboard back to me and typed in random letters. The screen went black again. I braced myself… but nothing happened.

“Did I really guess it right the first-” My words were cut off by a loud siren. The screen glowed red as bright red text flashed on the screen.

“System Wipe commencing in 3:00”

The time started counting down from three minutes. I cursed and tried hitting the escape button. Then, when that didn’t work, every other button on the keyboard. In a flash, Kiro whipped the keyboard from me and took a seat in the chair. He pulled something from his vest pocket and bent down to the computer. When he sat back up he was holding a phone with a wire connecting it to the computer. I froze. He had a phone all along? Why didn’t he tell me? Why didn’t he use it? Why was he using it now…?

Kiro’s phone suddenly filled with small, green text, appearing and disappearing quickly. Kiro tapped at his screen quickly, eyes skimming the screen quickly as he did so. I looked back up at the time on the monitors. 

1:30 

and counting. 

I clenched my teeth and looked down at Kiro, helpless. With nothing else I could do, I placed my hand on Kiro’s shoulder, clenching it tightly, hoping for it to be comforting in some way. 

Soon the time had gotten to 10... 

9...

8...

7...

6...

5...

4...

3...

With one theatrical flourish, Kiro tapped a sting of letters into the keyboard in front of him. Everything went black. Then text appeared across the six monitors.

“Welcome, Key.”

I whipped my head to Kiro. He met my eyes. A look of worry and surprise splayed across his face.

“You’re Key?!” My voice became loud and uneven.

“I can explain.” He said, holding his hands up. I grabbed a bundle of his shirt and lifted him up and off of the chair. I held him close to my face.

“Then you’d better start talking.” I said through my teeth. 

Before he had the chance to talk, the chair under Kiro spun in place. One of the hand rests caught Kiro in the side and pulled him from my grasp. Kiro roughly fell back into the chair as it turned and pointed away from me. The chair extended forward, launching Kiro out of it. He fell to the floor harshly and with a grunt. The chair spun back around. The hand rest hit my knee, making it buckle just enough for it to scoop me into the seat. The chair pushed itself into the desk, locking me in place. I moved to push away but bars shot up from the sides of the handrests, locking my arms down onto it. 

I was stuck.

I cursed and struggled against the straps. “Ike!” Kiro called from beside me. I turned to look just as Kiro reached out to me. The floor rumbled from underneath us. With no warning, walls shot up from each side of me, cutting me completely off from Kiro and the rest of the room. I pulled at the arm rests. The chair seemed so dainty! It was just a casual chair a moment ago! With my evol, I should be able to just bust out of-

The monitors went completely black. 

They were soon replaced by more text:

The Black Swan Collective.

I stopped struggling.

We come from the future, with the sole purpose to accelerate Human evolution. We possess Evol. We create all.

I hitched my breath. A group of Evolvers? Here? What were they planning? What did it have to do with me?

No one can stop us, for we hold the world in our hands. The Queen will soon awake. As will her Rook.

A strange feeling overcame my chest. What does that mean? I didn’t know a queen or a black swan collective… then why did I feel so strangely at that statement? Why did it almost seem… familiar?

Together, they will reform this world into one that will be worthy of our existence.

We look forward to marching together into a new world.

Pictures began to flash on the screen, one after another, the scenes depicted all not quite clear. A sealed room with no light, an empty experiment table with several beakers of chemical compounds next to it. A wall full of cabinets. People in white gathering under a surgical lamp.

I heard blood rushing to my temples. I struggled to find composure, something to pull me back into reality, But I couldn’t. My mind was focused solely on the pictures on the screens as more pictures overwhelmed my senses. One picture made my breath hitch.

There, on an experiment table, lying peacefully, was a familiar looking brown haired girl. 

The next picture came on the screen. The girl was lying next to a boy. One with bright blonde hair and a dazzling aura. Another picture came. This time that small brown haired girl was in a room, sitting on a bed next to another girl. The other girl’s hair was also brown but her hair was different. It was bushy and a mess of rats and tangles. And her eyes were a bright blue. They shone as she spoke to the little girl next to her. They were holding hands. 

My own hands started shaking.

The next picture showed a lab but things had gone awry. Tables were flipped and broken glass scattered the floor. Strange substances laced through the floor tiles and coated the bushy haired little girl as she stood in the corner of the room. She was protectively standing over the first girl, who was curled in a ball against the corner. The bushy haired girl’s eyes showed no fear as she protected the girl. Not only that, 

but they were now crimson red.

My hands shook even harder as hidden memories came crashing to my senses. Sounds of glass smashing, people yelling, sirens going off, and screaming.

The next picture made all of the sounds disappear. Men in lab coats were separating the girls. The little brown haired girl was protectively blocked by the men while several men struggled to hold down the bushy brown haired girl. Her mouth was open as if she was screaming as tears streamed down her face. 

My hands stopped shaking.

Don’t take her away, I found myself thinking, She’s hurting. Leave her alone! She doesn’t want to be hurt any more! I told her I would protect her! I promised I would! Get away from-

Unable to take the noise in my head any longer, I screamed. A power like I had felt only once before flooded my body. I closed my eyes, finally regaining my composure and remembering the state I was in.

 I was trapped.

 I needed to move.

 Now! 

With my new found power, I ripped my arms from the restraints. Bands snapped at my strength, clanking to the floor loudly.  I stood up and threw the chair aside. Avoiding any more eye contact with the pictures, I raised my fist and threw it into the monitors. Electricity sparked from them with every hit I threw. I didn’t stop until the only thing that was left was rubble. I panted heavily, looking down at the mess I had just made. My eyes skimmed over the computer under the table. I picked it up. Without hesitation. I crushed it between my hands, letting sparks fly and enjoying the screams it gave off. They can’t hurt her anymore. They won’t hurt her again. 

I won't let them.

(Next)
