💗 GROWING HEART - if they have a crush, is it noticable? what changes when they’re in love?

because i want to make it a fun little surprise i’m only going to answer the first part of this question.

L: kind of? at first sight, L is very open emotionally and makes it known that they’re interested, but aside from that it’s not very obvious

Ale: nope, ale won’t outwardly show their interest until they’re sure you feel the same. they have too many eyes on them to advertise every crush

Charlie: 100%. charlie won’t admit it verbally, but they blush and get flustered if their crush flirts/shows any interest in them

Dion: dion likes to follow the courting traditions they grew up with on dreki eyin, so they’ll usually present their crush with a gift to show their affection

S: they like to be pursued, so instead of saying how they feel, they’ll wait for their crush to speak up. they may drop very discreet hints and hope their crush picks up on it

El: definitely not. they won’t even acknowledge that they have a crush, let alone show any sign of it

i don’t normally add Albright but

Albright: they tend to be very physically affectionate in general, so it’s hard to know if they have a crush

BACKSTORY

Kenna grew up raised by her mother, Queen Adriana, after her father's premature death. She was never interested in balls or frilly things, but rather train with a sword with her best friend, Dominic Hunter, an orphan who had been taken in by servants. Many thought that the pair were in love, but really, it was all platonic.

Kenna grew into a beautiful, yet fierce young woman who craved riding into battle and bringing glory to her kingdom. That is, until Luther Nevrakis assassinated the rulers of the Five Kingdoms, her mother included. Kenna swore to avenge her death one day.

DURING THE SERIES

After the disastrous banquet, Kenna ran away to the Ruins of Rajkur, where the monks trained her to one day retake Stormholt back into Rys hands.

Unfortunately, Prince Marco Nevrakis was obssesed with killing her so no threatn would come when it came to the sole Nevrakis rule. With Luther off to fight the Iron Empire, and Kenna having been ambushed, she ran off to Leon Stirling's camp filled with mercenaries and former Stormholt soldiers.

They soon recognized her face, for she had a bounty on her head, and she decided to fight Severin, head of the mercenaries, in exchange for loyalty and recruiting the mercenaries and soldiers. It was a tough battle, but Kenna reigned champion and decided to recruit Severin than execute him. He'd prove to be a deadly fighter.

Next they were off to Aurelia, for its wealth was famous across the realm, as well as it was hidden. The beautiful and charming queen welcomed Kenna herself and threw a banquet in her honour, and both shared a romantic moment, as well as she got acquainted with her spymaster, Raydan.

Much to her dismay, it was all a cunning ambush from Marco to capture her, and he almost succeeded, had Kenna not struck him with a hidden dagger, and escaped. Her next destination was the famous Foundry of the Technocrats.

On the Labrynth, they found a young boy by the name Whitlock, who proved to be an asset in her quest to defeating the labyrinth and its beast. Now at the Foundry, she found out that Whitlock was the leader and recruited him to her cause.

With a mighty army at her back, Kenna rode to Stormholt, where the final battle would ensue. The battle's tide favoured Kenna, but Hex's -who was Whitlock's mentor- cannon turned the tides, Kenna had to fall back in order to persevere lives.

With Dom's help on the inside, the cannon was destroyed, and Kenna went for Marco in a mighty duel, where she ended up decapitating him for his crimes.

After winning the battle, she was crowned the rightful queen and prepared herself for the next threat: Luther Nevrakis himself, who'd return soon to tighten his grip on the Five Kingdoms.

Next, she went to Thorngate, where she defeated the Nevrakis army and convinced the Thorngate people to join her cause and proclaimed Rowan Thorn as queen, although the battle had a terrible cost: the castle almost burned, and Dominic lost control of his powers, almost burning Kenna alive while trying to save her from Vassilios Nevrakis' attempt on her life.

Now with Thorngate at her side, she travelled incognito to Alriel, the famous city that was under the crude rule of Florian, who had an iron grip on the ship builders. Kenna encourages the citizens to rebel, and fight back Florian's tyranny. Although they don't dethrone Florian, they do get what they wanted... a fleet, and travel to Lykos, where terrible news are met: the Foundry has been destroyed by Hex!

Before Luther arrives, they must also take Lykos and capture Zenobia, and they have to ask for the help of the Adder of Lykos... Raydan's sister. The Adder proves to be cunning and cruel, but Kenna proves her wrong and even gives her a poisoned dagger. Making a deal with her, she parts to Zenobia's masquerade ball and discovers how cruel she can be. With her eyes on Zenobia's necklace, Kenna sees one fire user controlled by Hex and prevents him from killing while Raydan steals the necklace, and they all escape in time... but Helene Leventis, the right hand of Luther and Gabriel's killer, intercepts them. Kenna uses her wit to let her see that serving the Nevrakis ins't honourable and that she's a coward for clinging at her, and Helene finally sees reason... and joins her cause, deserting Luther.

Meanwhile, in order to weaken Nevrakis rule, Kenna sends Val into the viper's den as Zenobia's handmaiden, where Val uses her cunning to gain the princess' trust and capture her, and she does a formidable job, as well as getting intel on what Hex is planning, and even steals a weapon that proves mighty in the battle.

After much preparation, and with Dom back from his mission, they prepare for the Battle of the Bay, and while it started well, soon Kenna was in danger, but was rescued by Dom... turned into a mighty blue dragon! They both soared the skies, sinking Hex's ships and reducing Luther's army by much. While Dom kept on burning everything, Kenna faced off against Luther, and after a tough fight, she won the fight, capturing the Blood King himself.

However, Dom worked himself too far and collapsed... right into Hex's clutches, who captured and enslaved him for her own, evil purposes.

In the aftermath, while interrogating Luther, Kenna discovered why he had come back so soon to the Five Kingdoms: the Iron Empire. After that, Kenna received an invitation to visit the empire.

Everything started off well, but there was something off about the empire and the empress herself. When they invited Kenna and her companions to a championship, Leon, Kenna's personal guard and warrior, was sacrified for the empress. In her pain, rage and grief, Kenna swore to take an eye for an eye.

They fled Marossi, not without taking Clover, Azura's handmaiden, with her, as well as a wolf pup whom Whitlock taught how to talk. They'd recruit everyone in the Five Kingdoms to make alliances... starting with the Nevrakises.

Kenna invited the remaining Nevrakis family to dinner: Luther, Zenobia, Diavolos and their ally, Florian. What started as a tense situation, Kenna used her diplomacy and soon connected with the youngest son, Diavolos, whom Luther sent alongside Kenna for her mission to fight back against the Iron Empire. Kenna, Diavolos and Annelyse went to Aurelia to avoid further wreckage while Raydan and Val went to Fydoria to seek answers against Empress Azura's power.

On Aurelia, Kenna, Diavolos, Jackson and Sei fought against dragon Dom while Whitlock stayed safe in the airship. The fight was difficult, and Kenna almost died, but Dom returned to them, as well as Sei's friend Anton, and it seemed like Hex would flee again... but Whitlock intercepted her and confronted her, making her see reason, and willingly took her prisoner. Kenna decided to make use of Hex and make her work for her as redemption.

When returning to their headquarters, Kenna received devastating news: Raydan had betrayed them for Azura, and had thus injured Val in the commotion.

After days, Kenna and Raydan reunited, but she was not happy. He was a traitor, after all. As they sparred, he proved that he had been a mole in Azura's side and had discovered Azura's weakness: spells and her own daughter, Lia, whom he had brought with him as a secret weapon against the empress, who turned out to be a thousand years old. They fought off Azura's shadow assassins and interrogated Raydan about his findings after he recovered from his injuries.

With one last night before the battle, Kenna spent the night with Val, Annelyse and Diavolos. The day after, Kenna prepared for the battle as Azura's army came to Stormholt. The battle was her most difficult and challenging, and seeing that Azura had no qualms killing people left and right for her own purpose, she played the deadliest gamble: she'd fight Azura herself in a one-on-one combat against Azura.

Raydan's spionage proved fruitful and her anti-magic spells weakened Azura's offense, and when it seemed like she'd die, with one last effort, she struck Azura, killing her in the duel. In that moment, everything was fine.

But Luther Nevrakis betrayed her and tried to kill her, but Diavolos himself helped her duel him and killed him as well, thus ending all of the threats of her reign.

To celebrate, she decided to marry the love of her life, the woman she had loved all along... Annelyse Adair, Queen of Aurelia. They celebrated a lavish wedding, where Kenna was queen consort of Aurelia and Annelyse was queen consort of Stormholt.

AFTER THE SERIES

A year later, they had a baby boy, Marcellus, and while conceiving was hard on Annelyse's part, the baby was healthy and cheerful. Two years later, they'd have a girl, Ayrin, the future queen of Aurelia.

During those years, Aurynn married Raydan after thorough Fydorian courting demanded by her advisors. Diavolos and Adder never married, but suffices to say, that they were together for the rest of their lives, and through her, the Nevrakis line continued. Val remained a bachelorette-although she never lacked good company-, and Dom and Rose finally married with Trystan's approval, while Sei and Anton got together later in life.

The Five Kingdoms eventually joined officially under one country named Cordonia, with the Rys royal line still standing after many centuries.

REVIVAL AU PT 2

TW for execution and nasty stuff

Also, my OC!

Meet Ace Whitlock, the Ultimate Doctor.

He's a pre-op trans gay man.

His execution is called "Monokuma's Plauge". Ace is trapped in a room with only medical textbooks and every medication known to man. He has been injected with a disease created by Monokuma that will kill him if he doesn't take the correct medication in time. He sits at the only desk in the room, frantically reading medical textbook after medical textbook, trying to identify the illness, but nothing lines up. He's bleeding from his eyes, he's coughing up puss, he gets muscle spasms, he's rapidly losing weight, he's feverish and faint, but nothing lines up. Eventually, he figures it out, grabs the pill bottle with Monokuma's face on it, and... it's empty. Monokuma lied. There's no cure. Ace slowly dies, clutching the bottle he thought would save him in despair.

Ace's Revival Form is mostly normal, but he now has a needle tattoo on his collar bone, and he's covered in stretch marks from the rapid weight loss.

Coming up...

163 PLAYLISTS

My listening habits are changing. The real evolution began when we were forced to move to a small two-bedroom apartment from a three-bedroom, two-story house. Living in an apartment complex with neighbors above you, and on either side requires a bit of consideration, and discretion when it comes to noise. As a result, I’m finding myself listening to music more often on my computer, and my iPod. My records still get played on my turntable, of course, but my cassette deck, and CD player often go unused for weeks. The new CDs, or those I’m playing more often get downloaded to my iTunes program. And the cassettes usually are limited to accompanying me on walks when the weather is friendly, and whatever I’m in the mood for is only available to me in that format.

But the availability of a computer program allows me to listen to music in a new way because I’m able to organize it. No longer do I have to listen to my collection one album at a time. Now, in order to get the most out of my collection (especially with time always at a premium), I’ve taken to creating my own playlists, and I’m particular about what goes in them, and always trying to think outside of the box so that the playlist can give me a completely fresh listening experience. That’s why I don’t use the streaming services. I don’t want to pay them to make playlists that aren’t as interesting or comprehensive as those I can make for myself.

I’ve done a few posts here about specific playlists, but this time I thought I’d provide the entire list. I’ve given each playlist an appropriate name, with a brief explanation of what’s in it, and how many songs (in parentheses) make up that playlist. I won’t list every artist in every one of the mixed artist lists, but you’ll get the idea anyway. So, here, alphabetically, is the complete list as of March 2024. Playlists come and go, and nothing is immune to changes, and tweaks. That’s what makes this so much fun.

…and Friends (115) I wanted a playlist that brought together a group of musicians who often played with one another, and whose music was somewhat similar. The title, and the concept came from the Delaney & Bonnie & Friends On Tour album where they were playing with Eric Clapton. That group of musicians, together, and separately also played with Joe Cocker, and Leon Russell who are here, among others. Clapton played with them and Duane Allman which opened the playlist to The Allman Brothers. I added J.J. Cale as well. The Band was also included because they played with Clapton on his No Reason To Cry LP. And, of course, Delaney & Bonnie, and Derek & The Dominos appear along with Blind Faith. Bobby Whitlock of The Dominos, and Rick Danko of The Band also appear as solo artists. Anyway, you get the idea. And the music fits together beautifully.

Alive/Total Energy (136) The first of many label playlists. Label playlists are open to any artist on that particular label. This list features everyone from The Black Keys to Datura 4 to Buffalo Killers, and more. It helps if the label does a particular type of music, and, if not, that you restrict the playlist to music that fits together.

Alligator Blues (457) Another label list drawn from all of the anniversary releases (there are 7) by the Alligator label along with a few artist collections, and a series the label did called Crucial Blues. Every artist who ever recorded for the label is represented (except one I don’t much care for), and because of the label’s consistency over the past 50 years, is a perfect playlist for the contemporary Blues fan.

Allman Brothers Band (44) A collection of my favorite songs by the band along with some of the solo stuff members did as well. It could be much bigger, but since the band is represented on a few other playlists, I limited this one.

AM Gold (1,404) A massive collection of artists and songs spanning AM radio in the 60s and 70s.

AM Soul (553) Same concept as AM Gold, but this one is strictly Soul music from the same period.

America (80) Songs from 7 different albums by the band America.

Americana (310) A genre playlist bringing together what I consider to be American Roots Music. So anyone whose music fits that description is on the list. So there’s Rock, Blues, and Country from artists ranging from Los Lobos to Johnny Cash to X to Doug Sahm to Ry Cooder to The Byrds, and so on.

Asylum Records (432) Not strictly a record label collection – although many of the artists included were on the Asylum label. But the focus is, instead, on the West Coast singer-songwriter movement of the 70s with room for a few artists who might well have spent time or should be in an Asylum. So there’s Linda Ronstadt, Eagles (group and solo), Little Feat, Tom Waits, Van Dyke Parks, the Buckingham-Nicks Fleetwood Mac, Frank Zappa, and so on.

Bang Yer Head (778) Exactly what you’d imagine – 778 of my favorite Hard Rock/Heavy Metal songs.

Bangles (226) Every Bangles group and solo recording I own.

Bar None (84) A label collection that features, so far, four of the artists who record for the label.

Beach Boys (114) My favorite songs by the band, along with some solo work by Brian, and Dennis. The surf stuff is not represented. You’ll see why later. This list focuses on the period after they stopped making surf records (although it does include a few early non-surf favorites.

Beatles (88) My favorite Beatles songs spanning 1963-1970.

Beatles Early Years (28) Star-Club and early Decca recordings only.

Beatles Solo (173) My favorites from each of the band member's solo catalogs.

Beck, Jeff Beck (37) Not to be confused with that other Beck. Favorites spanning his career.

Beserkley (77) A label playlist featuring the usual suspects – Modern Lovers, Greg Kihn, Earthquake, The Rubinoos, and more.

Bird (27) My Charlie Parker playlist is simply a digital version of Warner Brothers 2 record set The Very Best of Bird issued in 1977. It was never available on CD, so I reconstructed it from a box set I have. Same running order, same songs. By far, my favorite Parker recordings.

Bizarre/Straight (86) A label list featuring Frank Zappa, early Alice Cooper, Captain Beefheart, and the G.T.O.’s.

Black Sabbath (54) All drawn from the post-Ozzy era. The Ozzy stuff is represented in the Bang Yer Head playlist.

Blood, Sweat & Tears (45) The band’s first five albums complete.

Blues (319) My favorite Blues records minus anything on the Alligator label which has its own playlist.

Bomp/Voxx (258) A label list with artists ranging from The Barracudas, to The Crawdaddys to Iggy Pop, The Last, Paul Collins, Romantics, Shoes, Flamin’ Groovies, Zeros, and more.

Bowie (104) All my favorites. I’ve tried to make it smaller, and I just can’t.

Boz Scaggs (28) Drawn from his career-spanning My Time anthology, and his Memphis blues album.

Brian Auger (24) From a career-spanning Best of.

British Blues Boom (337) A who’s who of the British Blues movement from the beginning.

Bruce Power Trios (67) The Jack Bruce trios with Cream, BBM, West, Bruce & Laing, and Robin Trower

Buddy & Co. (103) A mix of Buddy Holly, Del Shannon, Roy Orbison, Bobby Fuller Four, Tommy Roe, Bobby Vee, and Marshall Crenshaw. If you know these artists, you know they fit together beautifully.

Cactus (30) Drawn from a career-spanning anthology, and the reunion album V.

CD5’s (368) A playlist of every CD single I own – all in one place.

Chick Corea (58) Drawn from 6 or 7 of my favorite Corea albums.

Chick Corea Elektric Band (67) The band’s complete catalog of studio recordings.

Christmas (150) Best Christmas and Holiday songs from every genre.

Chuck Berry’s Golden Decade (76) Modeled after his three volumes of Golden Decade collections along with the Blues collection, some rarities, and his final album CHUCK.

Clash (35) My favorites with some interview snippets thrown in for variety.

Clive’s World (266) One of my more inspired playlist ideas. Designed to chronicle the period at Columbia Records when Clive Davis took over the label, and remade it as a contemporary giant in the music business by signing artists the likes of Laura Nyro, Sly & The Family Stone, Chicago, Blood, Sweat & Tears, Taj Mahal, Johnny Winter, Electric Flag, Janis Joplin, Santana, and many more. It all fits together beautifully, and recalls an era (1968-1974) when Columbia really was one of the great record labels. Based on Davis’s first autobiography, Clive.

Coltrane ’61 (50) Every Coltrane recording live and studio from the calendar year 1961.

Coltrane ’67 (25) Every Coltrane recording live and studio from his final calendar year 1967.

Columbia Classics (180) 15 complete album favorites on the Columbia label from a dozen different artists (Miles, Sly, Dylan, Simon & Garfunkel, Santana, and more.)

Coolest Songs (141) Features 8 volumes of the Wicked Cool label series The Coolest Songs in The World, along with a collection they did called Halloween a Go-Go. A real mixed bag of cool stuff.

Country (551) All my favorite Country songs in one place.

Creem (817) Based on the artists written about and reviewed over a 20 year span in Creem magazine. All were welcome provided the song in question was true to the magazine’s style and mission statement. This was a challenge, but I got it right. Listening to the playlist reflects my experience reading the magazine. And this is the kind of playlist no computer program or algorithm could ever provide for you.

Cruisin’ (105) The Cruisin’ series 1955-1963, and a Wolfman Jack CD titled Howlin’ On the Air. Basically, radio shows from the Golden Age of Rock n’ Roll.

Dance/Pop/Hip-Hop (311) A mix of contemporary radio fare from the late 70s into the current century. There’s less of this kind of thing in my collection than most genres because my interest in and tolerance for it has limits. But the best of what I heard is all here from Kylie Minogue, and The Spice Girls to Beyonce and Amerie, Madonna to Taylor Swift, etc. there’s even some hardcore Rap.

Deep Purple (81) The Blackmore classic era is represented in the Bang Yer Head file. This one focuses on the Steve Morse years, and I threw in Slaves and Masters with Blackmore, but with Joe Lynn Turner on vocals just for fun.

Disaster (110) Punk from the Disaster label drawn from four volumes of the Old Skars and Upstarts CD series.

Discreet (57) Label playlist that features Frank Zappa, Zappa with Captain Beefheart, and Ted Nugent & the Amboy Dukes. Odd collection, but, like all the others, somehow it works. It helps they all come from the same time period.

Donna Summer (30) About a decade’s worth of her best. I wasn’t into Disco, but I was into Donna.

Doors (40) Just my 40 favorite Doors songs on one list.

Doug Snyder & (17) Doug Snyder was a regular customer at a record shop I worked at many years ago. One day he handed me two CDs, and a cassette of his own music. He was such a quiet, retiring guy, that he’d never even mentioned to me before that he was a musician, and had made some records. It’s all experimental noise Rock (a genre I love), and so I used the two CDs, and found a free download online of the cassette, and put it all together. It plays for 2 ½ hours, and you can get lost in it. The CDs are Daily Dance and The Rules of Play credited to Doug Snyder and Bob Thompson. The cassette is Interference by a band Doug was in called Sick Dick & The Volkswagens. I wonder what he’d say if he knew he’d made my playlists collection.

Duffy (20) The two records by British chanteuse Duffy, a favorite of mine.

Dylan (55) Cherry-picked collection of my favorite Dylan songs.

ECM Radio (206) A collection of songs drawn from the Rarum series of CDs on the ECM label, along with a couple of label samplers. Virtually every Jazz artist in the label’s history is represented here.

ECM Touchstones (156) 50 of the label’s classic albums in one place.

ECM Touchstones II (167) 50 more of the label’s classic albums in one place.

Elmore James (73) The essential recordings from my favorite Blues artist of all-time.

Eric Clapton (56) My favorite Clapton stuff, but excludes his ’74-’77 years. For that go to….

Eric Clapton & His Band (55) All the recordings, live and studio from his ’74-’77 band. He’d kicked the heroin to become an alcoholic, but it seemed to lubricate his creativity. That was his best band.

Film Music (96) My favorite songs from my collection of film scores and soundtracks.

Fleetwood Mac (75) Group and solo favorites spanning the band’s entire career.

Folk (198) My favorite British and American Folk music from the 50s to the present day.

Garage Rock (1,024) Some of the greatest music of my lifetime made by kids not much older than me. Primitive, raw, energetic, and irresistible. Drawn from a variety of compilation series such as Nuggets, Back from The Grave, Pebbles, Teenage Shutdown, Psychedelic States and more.

George Jones (39) Favorites from Country music’s greatest voice. Tammy Wynette guest stars.

Georgie Fame (65) Primarily a download of a vinyl boxed set titled The Whole World’s Shaking. Includes a few extra tracks from my collection. Fame is one of the great voices in British Blues and Jazz.

Glenn Hughes (66) Hard Rock’s MVP award goes to this guy who has had a long solo and band career making music with some legendary names. Includes tracks from Trapeze, Deep Purple, Black Country Communion, Dead Daisies, and his solo career. Wall-to-wall great.

Gliiter & Glam (94) Platform shoes, capes, teased hair, makeup, and electric guitars fueled this 70s Rock movement. Bowie, T. Rex, Roxy Music, Sweet, Queen, Suzi Quatro, Slade, Mott The Hoople, and more.

Grand Funk Railroad (104) The people’s band live and studio best. I still listen to them.

Guess Who (32) Among Canada’s best exports. Hit after hit after hit.

Herbie Hancock (32) Drawn from his late 70s Jazz records with V.S.O.P., some 60s Blue Note favorites, and a one-off with Michael Brecker & Roy Hargrove.

Immediate Records (162) An overview of Andrew Oldham's Immediate label during the Swinging London period of the 1960s.

InsideOut (161) The best of the 90s European Progressive Rock label. Squire, Howe, Hackett, Flower Kings, Pallas, and more.

Jackie ’60-’67 (59) Eleven of the best of saxophonist Jackie McLean’s albums for Blue Note during the sixties. All of them gems.

Jazz (250) My favorite Jazz in the traditional mode.

Jazz Christmas (91) The best Christmas music is Jazz Christmas music.

Jazz Fusion (356) Miles, Weather Report, Return To Forever, Mahavishnu, Coryell, Herbie’s Headhunters, and more.

Jazz Is (671) The more commercial stuff drawn from the late 70s to the 90s, and beyond. The GRP artists, Bob James, David Sanborn, Candy Dulfer, Bobbi Humphrey, Crusaders, Chuck Mangione, the CTI stable of artists, Earl Klugh, Eric Gale, George Benson, Grover Washington, Jr., Joe Farrell, Joe Sample, John Klemmer, Rippingtons, Spyro Gyra….you get the idea. The stuff the Downbeat critics hated. No Kenny G, or other junk like that. Just the best musicians in the world cookin’, and groovin’. I built this from the ground up just a few years ago because I wasn’t buying it or listening to much of it back in the day. But it sure sounds great now.

Jefferson Starship (76) One of the most underrated bands of the 70s and 80s.

Jersey Shore (273) New York and New Jersey music – Billy Joel, Springsteen, Four Seasons, Rascals, Mink DeVille, Genya Ravan, Patti Smith, the Dolls, Ronnie Spector, Southside Johnny, and more.

Jimi Hendrix (55) All his best.

John Mayall (81) I have more than 40 Mayall titles in my collection. So I pared this down to his anthologies on the Deram, ABC, and Silvertone labels which covers about 40 years.

Joni Mitchell (26) Only the very best.

L.A. Witch (23) The catalog from the edgy all-girl band.

Led Zeppelin (86) The studio catalog – all of it.

Live! (72) A mix of favorite live albums. This is constantly changing.

Lorrie Morgan (47) Country music’s greatest female voice – to my ears anyway.

Michigan Rocks (523) Covers the cream of the Michigan Rock scene from Garage to Punk to  Metal to Glam to just plain ol’ Rock. Seger, Nugent, Ryder, Quatro, MC5, Stooges, Frost, SRC, Third Power, and all the rest. No stone left unturned.

Midnight Oil (86) The best from one of my all-time favorite bands.

Miles Davis 1957-1991 (59) The focus is on his 80s work with just a few tracks from the 50s, 60s and 70s. The rest is elsewhere.

Mod Revival (169) The best of the bands who formed in the wake of The Jam’s success in England. Mod style. Mod sound. Late 70s period.

Moondog Matinee (1,309) named after Alan Freed’s radio show, this is (I swear) every great record from the early days of Rock ‘n’ Roll. R&B, Doo Wop, Rockabilly, and that demon Rock ‘n’ Roll.

My Jukebox (1,000) My 1,000 favorite songs of all-time.

Nanci Griffith (209) Most of the catalog from the best artist of the past 45 years.

Neil Young + Friends (51) The absolutely essential Neil Young solo work and his stuff with CSNY, Buffalo Springfield, Stephen Stills, Crazy Horse, and The Stray Gators.

Nightclubbing (112) Live sets from bands of the New Wave, and Punk era.

No More Wars (63) A collection of anti-war songs.

Norman Whitfield (80) A collection of the best from Motown producer Norman Whitfield.

Norton Records (164) Some of the best from NY label Norton records.

NWOBHM (182) A generous sampling of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal movement of the late 70s, and early 80s.

Ono (67) The first four solo albums by Yoko Ono, and some rare singles.

Ornette Coleman (137) My favorite Coleman records beginning with his mid-60s Blue Notes, and continuing to his final recordings before his passing in 2015. Also includes tribute albums from Tim Berne, and Aki Takase & Silke Eberhard as well as five tracks from his funeral service by admirers, and fellow travelers.

Outlaws (117) Waylon & Willie, and a few others.

Ozzy Osbourne (107) All his best solo records in one place.

Paisley Underground (263) The best of one of California’s coolest musical movements. Bangles, Dream Syndicate, Three O’Clock, Green On Red, Game Theory, Long Ryders, Rain Parade, and many more. This took a lot of work. Much of this stuff had gone out of print. There really should be a box set. Are you listening Omnivore, or Rhino Records?

Patti Smith (48) All of her groundbreaking stuff in one place.

Paul Weller (34) The Jam are elsewhere. This is all Style Council, and solo work.

PJ Raw (117) The edgiest, and best of PJ Harvey’s amazing catalog.

PJ Stripped (92) Every track here comes from Harvey's demos series of albums.

Pop TV (100) The Monkees, Cowsills, Partridge Family, The Archies, and Josie & the Pussycats. A sugar overdose.

Post Modern (317) The best of 80s Modern Rock.

QSKY Radio (89) Soundtracks for Almost Famous, FM, and Dazed and Confused – all in one place, and all hailing from the same era.

R.E.M. (43) The cream of Athens, Georgia’s finest band.

Radio London (136) British Pop, and Rock from the Pirate Radio era in England.

Rainbow (67) Ritchie Blackmore’s other contribution to head banging.

Redbeard (1,544) FM radio in the 1970s named after its greatest DJ. Every great record is here – I swear on my stack of Circus back issues.

Reggae (153) A healthy sampling of Jamaica’s greatest export. And only 16 of the tracks are by Bob Marley & the Wailers.

Return To Forever (36) Live and studio very best.

Riot Grrrls (232) Begins with Joan Jett and The Runaways, and includes Bikini Kill, L7, Sleater-Kinney and many more.

Rolling Solo (153) What were the Stones up to when they weren’t rolling? Begin here.

Rolling Stones (136) The best studio tracks.

Rolling Stones Live! (64) Betcha can’t guess what’s in this one.

Ronnie Spector (91) Most of the Ronettes, and Ronnie solo recordings.

Rosanne Cash (40) Her very best as chosen by me.

Rush (34) Comprised of the ‘74’-80 Retrospective, Moving Pictures and Vapor Trails – my favorites.

San Francisco (289) The best music from one of America’s greatest cities. Dead, Airplane, Starship, Hot Tuna, CCR, Doobies, Groovies, Santana, Steve Miller, Youngbloods, Tower of Power and more.

Santana (98) The very cream of the band and solo albums.

Scorpions (47) These will indeed, Rock You Like a Hurricane.

Simon & Garfunkel (37) Just the duo’s best. The solo work is elsewhere.

Slash/Los Angeles (345) A killer collection of the best from Slash Records, Slash magazine, and the Los Angeles scene of the late 70s and early 80s.

Slayer (41) For my money, the last great Metal band.

Sleater-Kinney (40) A mix of live and studio stuff.

Softcult (19) Most of the catalog from this Bandcamp favorite.

Sonic Youth (38) Noise merchants live and in the studio.

Southbound (117) Songs by mostly Southern artists about living in, going to, or from the South. Great road music. From the bluegrass of Kentucky to the Voodoo of New Orleans to the Florida Keys. Just take 75 South.

Southern Rock (245) All the finest music from artists of the Southern United States.

Steely Dan (77) The entire catalog through Gaucho, amigo.

Stephen Stills (54) Best band and solo work, similar to the Neil Young playlist, but nothing repeated.

Steppenwolf (45) Like Grand Funk, a sentimental favorite, and a band I still listen to.

Surf & Drag (733) An entire playlist of surf and car songs. This is where The Beach Boys surf records are hiding.

Suzanne Vega (67) The best of her studio work.

Taylor Swift (42) Eleven early favorites, and the entire 31 track The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology.

Temptations (53) Motown’s finest.

The Mooney Suzuki (38) Garage Rock for the new century. Three studio records and one live. A wall of noisy Rock.

The Reivers (29) As Americana music goes, this is as good as it gets.

Todd Rundgren & Utopia (50) The absolute finest Pop Rock you’ll ever hear. Has both his solo work, and his work with Utopia.

Tom Petty (169) Live and studio masterpieces.

Top 100 (100) My 100 most played songs. I update it monthly.

Troubadours (403) Singer-songwriters, King, Taylor, Paul Simon, Souther, Stevens, Croce, Buffett, Denver, Mitchell, Collins, Nyro, Loggins & Messina, Carly Simon, Newman, Vega, Waits, and many, many more.

Trouser Press (715) Like the Creem playlist, this is based on the magazine that ran from 1974 to 1984, and covered both the British music scene, and the blossoming Punk and New Wave movements. I did a brilliant job with this one as well. It’s like having your own Time Machine.

Van Halen (66) Probably all anyone needs.

Van Morrison (119) All solo work, and all essential.

Velvet Underground (64) 31 Velvets tracks, and 33 more from Reed, Cale, and Nico solo.

Vinyl Masters (398) Complete albums from the golden age of vinyl records – all personal favorites.

Voices (393) The greatest voices in popular music from Sinatra to Streisand to Bennett to Celine Dion to The Carpenters, and more. Not Rock. Not Folk. Not Blues. All stuff your parents loved. All stuff that anyone with an ear for quality will recognize as worthwhile.

Weather Report (87) Most of their brilliant catalog in one place.

West Coast Jazz (242) You thought I forgot about the other coast, didn’t you? Never. All great Jazz music from the Pacific coast state. Essential. Drawn from two boxed sets, and book of the same name along with a variety of things from my collection.

Who (33) 16 of The Who’s best and 17 more from Townshend, Entwistle, and Daltrey solo.

Wilko (46) Not the band, but the late ex-Dr. Feelgood guitarist. Includes his work with the Feelgoods, Roger Daltrey, and some solo stuff. I miss him.

Willy DeVille (65) Includes the best Mink DeViIle, and solo work as well. So underrated. And still missed.

Winwood (36) Career overview featuring Traffic, Blind Faith, Spencer Davis, and Powerhouse along with some sterling solo work.

Woodstock (28) A hodgepodge of my favorite songs from “3 Days of Love and Peace.”

Yoko (50) No, you’re not seeing things. This is the other Yoko Ono playlist. This one picks up with the Double Fantasy sessions, and runs through her 1995 Rising album. I love Yoko’s work. No, seriously. Stop laughing. I’m not joking.

Yuja Wang (95) Everything I have to date from the greatest pianist I’ve ever heard.

That’s it. Check back for updates now, and again. I’m always making playlists because I have nothing better to do. I hope this list gave you some ideas of your own.

El: they don’t like spooning or cuddling, but they may hold your hand instead

Kay Poorboy, 1970

Kay was a groupie of rock frontmen Eric Burdon and Joe Cocker in the late 1960s; girlfriend of bassist Carl Radle from 1970 to 1980; and wife of drummer Buddy Jones from 1980 to 1983. While most know the album cover art of ‘Layla & Other Assorted Love Songs’ by Derek & the Dominos is supposed to resemble rock muse Pattie Boyd, the girl featured on the inner sleeve collage is actually Kay. From the mid-1960s until the late 1970s, Kay and her best friend/co-groupie Francine Brockey were confidants of pianist-songwriter Leon Russell as well. Like Francine, Kay also worked at the LA nightclub The Classic Cat, but as a dancer rather than a waitress.

I can’t believe people actually think that killing Rafael would have saved OPH. That is the stupidest shit I’ve seen from the fandom in ages.

Killing off a major character should only be done if it’s central to the plot. Like in VoS when the Sterling family was murdered throughout the story. THAT made sense, because it was literally a book with a plot that centered around mysterious murders and disappearances and the deaths actually raised the stakes and furthered the plot.

Hell, even in TC&TF when Leon was killed. Losing Leon, a valuable ally and trusted friend, to Empress Azura set in stone for Kenna that the Empress needed to be killed, and war was a necessary evil. I’d argue that it had to be Leon, as he was a lifelong ally to Kenna and was practically family to her. I mean, if someone like Sei or Whitlock was the one killed, Kenna would probably be furious, but wouldn’t immediately turn to war. Leon’s death immediately propelled the plot and got it where it needed to be.

OPH book 2’s primary stakes were saving the hospital. The plot was to work on the diagnostics team while also finding a way to finance and save Edenbrook. Killing Rafael would have in no way furthered or helped that plot. All it would have done was permanently remove a good character from the lineup, a LOVE INTEREST, at that. Raf doesn’t have the most romancers of the OPH love interests, but you can bet your ass Pixelberry would have lost a ton of support for the book had they killed him.

What are the ROs love languages?

L’s job takes up a lot of their time so spending quality time with them, or cooking for them while L relaxes, means a lot.

Ale appreciates small gestures and words of affirmation. It would make them really happy to find a sweet note on their desk or get a back rub after a long day.

Charlie prefers intimate forms of physical touch: butterfly kisses, warming each other’s feet in bed, tucking in their shirt for them.

S loves to receive gifts, especially plants or magical trinkets.

Dion’s love language is physical touch; they enjoy a cuddle or holding hands, but they love more playful things like wrestling and pillow fights.

El’s love language is quality time, specifically having a listening ear while they talk about their hobbies, fears, or anything else they don’t have to keep secret.

thanks for the ask
