Figured if I was going to go on the Snow White rant, I needed to actually rewatch the Disney movie.
The opening credits are much more interesting when you know some of the names. The only women who got on the list were Dorothy and Hazel, but it was nice to see their names at least and know who they were.
That book is gorgeous. All the details of the calligraphy and illustrations and binding.
Wow, the Queen is so much creepier than I remember. The fact that using the magic mirror involves summoning a "slave" trapped in the mirror? Don't like that.
That peacock behind her throne, though? Stunning, fantastic, no notes.
I kind of love how the Queen forces Snow White to be a maid, and Snow White just...doesn't care at all. She's just scrubbing a floor and totally fine. Queen's obsessed with Snow White every minute of the day and Snow White doesn't think about her at all.
Sorry, I don't buy the romance at all. I know it's a fairy tale, but one song does not a life-changing romance make. (There was a version of the scene where the prince was going to rejoice over the fact that she loved him, which might have been too much, but it at least would have helped sell it.)
The scene of Snow running through the forest and then collapsing in tears did make me feel for her.
It seems like Snow White and the Queen are from a completely different movie from the dwarfs. They've got this whole high fantasy feud going on, meanwhile these guys are living in a sitcom.
The dwarfs were the best part. Forgot how cute those guys could be.
There was not enough story here. 75% of the running time is them trying to stretch this paper-thin story to feature length. There's a big long cleaning sequence. A big long sequence of the dwarfs figuring out who invaded their cottage. A big long introduction sequence. A big long washing-up sequence. Multiple extended gags involving a fly. All fun to animate, I'm sure, but not at all up to modern pacing standards.
(I'd kind of like to compare this to other escapist '30s musicals--is this kind of structure common for movies where the point is just to show up and escape the Depression for 90 minutes?)
As a kid, I had one of those sing-a-long videos with a bunch of Disney songs, and I did not realize that I had a deep emotional connection to it until "Heigh-Ho" made me instantly happy and the Silly Song unearthed memories I didn't even know I had.
A lot of the other songs kind of stink, ngl. There's a reason the washing-up song is not in the public consciousness.
Kind of out-of-line for Snow White to just show up at their house and treat them like misbehaving children.
The skeleton in the dungeon reaching for the water pitcher? Can't believe the movie went there.
(Then they drew too much attention to it and kind of wrecked it. But wow.)
I like that they give a valid reason that the Queen thought True Love's Kiss wasn't going to be a problem.
But the queen cackling over the fact that Snow White's going to be buried alive? When it comes to showing this movie to children, I'm not hesitating about Snow White as a female role model, I'm hesitating because it's dark.
(But also--why not just poison her? I get that living death/buried alive is a worse fate than just plain death, but if she's not actually dead, how does the Queen count as fairest in the land? Especially since she magically made herself as ugly as possible?)
They carved her name in the coffin! Just like the bed! They finally get to make her a bed and it's to lay her to rest! It's almost enough to make me tear up.
The castle in the clouds makes me think of heaven/resurrection imagery, which ties in interestingly to my take on it.
There is so much potential to flesh out this story in a live-action version. Since you can't fill up the runtime with comedy dwarf antics, there's so much space to flesh out the relationship between the prince and Snow White, and give texture to the feud between the Queen and Snow White, and to dig deep into Snow's sweet character and how it affects the dwarfs, which is why it stinks that they're going for just another Not Like Other Girls update.

Top 50 Albums of 2022
7. Dawn FM by The Weeknd
For an album to come out in early January and maintain my interest for an entire year, even with a mountain of other great music released each week, is quite the accomplishment. But then when you have global superstar Abel Tesfaye, aka The Weeknd, once again delivering another visionary and cinematic pop record like only he can, we can't be too surprised. As a huge fan of both The Weeknd's music and concept records in general, this one was always going to land high up this list.
Going back to March 2020 to the height of global lockdown for just a moment, where Abel gifted us his fourth studio album After Hours, a record filled with heartbreak and hedonism that brought a much-needed escape from the reality of what was happening in the world at that time. It went on to become by far my most played Album of 2020, helping me and I’m sure many others to get through the toughest of years. That album and the success of singles like Blinding Lights and Save Your Tears also helped catapult Abel to another level of superstardom, even leading him to headline the SuperBowl Halftime show in 2021.
Fast forward almost a year on from that star-making performance, and Abel returned in January 2022 with his latest opus, Dawn FM. Much like After Hours, Abel had seemingly delivered the perfect vision for that exact moment in time. Whilst the world was once again stuck in between a return to some sort of normalcy on one hand, but also some returning COVID restrictions on another, Abel took the dancefloor to limbo on this highly ambitious concept album set in his vision of the afterlife. Speaking on the concept for the record which sees none other than actor Jim Carrey take on the role of a paranormal disc jockey, Abel has explained:
“Picture the album being like the listener is dead. And they’re stuck in this purgatory state, which I always imagined would be like being stuck in traffic waiting to reach the light at the end of the tunnel. And while you’re stuck in traffic, they got a radio station playing in the car, with a radio host guiding you to the light and helping you transition to the other side. So it could feel celebratory, could feel bleak, however, you want to make it feel, but that’s what ‘The Dawn’ is for me.”
It’s a grand vision but one Abel controls masterfully alongside his collaborators, with Max Martin, Oneohtrix Point Never, Swedish House Mafia and Calvin Harris just some of the production credits listed here. Alongside the aforementioned Jim Carrey, artists such as Quincy Jones, Tyler The Creator and Lil Wayne also crop up to lend their inimitable voices to proceedings as well. However, despite these assistants, the imagination on display remains uniquely Abel’s, with his own vision and voice keeping things anchored. The most impressive element of the whole record though is how it’s so cohesively woven together, with each track seamlessly segueing into the next, as if you were indeed sat in the car just casually jamming along to the radio.
The album begins with the epic, synth-driven title track, that starts with some birds whistling before Abel anxiously sings “Make me believe in make-beliefs, 'Cause after the light, is it dark? Is it dark all alone?” Soon Jim Carrey arrives to welcome the listener properly to “103.5 Dawn FM” which then leads seamlessly into one of the record’s most interesting tracks in Gasoline, where Abel’s distorted vocal bounces off an intoxicating whirlpool of 80s synths.
How Do I Make You Love Me follows which has been one of my most played songs of the year, with its infectious synth-pop groove and instantly catchy chorus. Before you’ve had time to catch your breath, Abel takes it away with the aptly-titled lead single Take My Breath. Arriving to take things up yet another notch, I’m thankful Abel chose to include the longer and superior version of the track with the extended instrumental intro passage into the final album cut. Sacrifice then completes this incredible opening five track run, with a super funky lead guitar line and a good dose of disco flair.
The hits don't stop there though with the sumptuously melodic Out of Time, the rumbling pulse of Best Friends and magical, spacey electronics of Starry Eyes helping to keep the strong momentum going. Abel then manages to deliver towards the back end too, thanks to the neon-soaked beams of Every Angel Is Terrifying, the wonderful 80s groove of Don’t Break My Heart and the brilliantly anthemic synth-banger and hugely popular single, Less Than Zero.
The album then closes quite beautifully with a spoken word piece written by Jim Carrey entitled Phantom Regret, which he ends by saying “God knows life is chaos, but He made one thing true - you gotta unwind your mind, train your soul to align, and dance 'til you find that divine boogaloo.” Poignant and poetic, it makes for a simply sublime ending.
Beyond the record itself, the music videos to accompany each single were also as ever outstanding. The trippy animated video for How Do I Make You Love Me you can watch above, but I highly recommend checking out the others for Gasoline and Out of Time when you get chance too.
All in all, this is a deep, pensive record that carries plenty of emotional weight, but will also have you dancing and singing away with the biggest smile on your face. I think After Hours will always be the sentimental favourite due to how much I leant on it during lockdown, but this is arguably an even stronger and more cohesive outing for The Weeknd. Thoroughly deserving of its place inside my Top 10 Albums of the Year, this is a hugely impressive concept record and an utterly engaging listen from one of the most fascinating and visionary popstars on the planet.
Best tracks: How Do I Make You Love Me, Gasoline, Phantom Regret

5 February 2024: Nanci Griffith Revisited, Nanci Griffith. (Damian/BMG, 1999)
This is one of the most peculiar albums I've seen. Someone somewhere decided it made sense to take Texas singer-songwriter Griffith's folky recordings and transform them into nightclub bangers. I embellish a bit—I've not heard this yet, so I don't know that they're really nightclub bangers—but someone really did decide there needed to be a Nanci Griffith remix album, with things like "Gomi's Extended Arena Mix" of Griffith's gentle song "Late Night Grande Hotel." While apparently some copies leaked out into retail, Griffith's management took umbrage at this project and were able to halt a widespread release. I don't know how wide it really could have been; what in the world is the market for this? Coffee shops whose clientele are bored unless there's a little bit of trip-hop beats in their folk? What an asinine project. So, of course, having just spent many, many months examining the entire Griffith catalog in detail, I needed to obtain this thing to cap it all off. It's not easy to find, but I finally did it. (Oh, I forgot to mention: Damian starts the album out slowly, with three "Original Mix" Griffith tracks, which I presume are just her original album versions. I'll be finding out.)
Above are the front and back covers, removed from the jewel case.
There's no real booklet; the front cover/insert is a 5" by 5" square and the artless mess shown below is on the back of it. Labels like this, I swear. I see they have a Dolly Parton album, too, and there's one by Kinky Friedman, of all people, but by and large Damian Music seems to be a total bonehead of a label, even if they somehow got distribution by BMG.
Not only is this a dumb concept with artless packaging, Damian Music couldn't even proofread the track list. For the three separate tracks remixed by "Boy Wunder" (good grief), the typesetter or designer or whomever messed up and just put Boy Wunder's name where the song title was supposed to be. The track list on the back cover is the only place the titles appear, so for these three tracks you have to play the album to find out what Griffith song they represent. Ridiculous.
Here's what you see under the tray, with Nanci Griffith's name in script on the spine, as if seeing it twice on the front cover isn't enough.
Last, here is the disc.
I'm glad this thing got buried. What an embarrassing idea and product. I looked up the Dolly Parton album on Damian and it's a remix album, too. The executive producer of both is one Kyle Utley and these are his only two credits listed on Discogs.

So I may have come up with an entire song list for this (sorry for potentially annoying people with the tagging it’s just that you all have INCREDIBLE ideas and I want to give you guys credit where credit is due)
Double life
This a a quick and short opening Greek chorus type song sung by the watchers based on @confessions-of-a-xiaoholic’s idea with the watchers just singing about the basic concept of the fact they have 3 lives, a soul bound and that the game will end in death and tragedy, this will then fade into the next song which is:
2. Who is my soulmate?
This song is sung by Grian as suggested by @eavenreach and @extended-play (who is the one who got the song name idea) however it’s mostly an ensemble song kinda like @crowzeal’s idea where it goes over each of the soul mate pairs finding their soulmates and each time a new soulmate pair is found they sing the line “my soulmate is you” and the leif motif of the soulmate pair will play from @ashtreehollow’s and @carrioncider’s ideas before they enter their duet which then transitions to Grian making a comment on his thoughts of the soulmate pair
(when it’s Ren and BigB he sings
“Ren is with BigB!”
“Wait Ren’s with BigB”
“Oh, I hoped that’d be me”)
There is a quick interlude in the song where he meets up with boat boys and they have that fabled conversation in the ravine where they sing “maybe it’s Scar” “Scar! No, No way!” “How about I axe him, whatcha say?” The music starts playing again and Grian is continually singing no as Joel gets closer to Scar, first it’s quiet but then it gets louder and faster until the legendary “NO!” from the axe crit where Grian in a soft and shaky voice sings “My soulmate is you”. The next half of the song is Grian rushing through the remaining pairings while simultaneously losing it with Scar in the background making random jabs at Grian like:
“Grian you’re singing really fast, do you need to catch your breath?”
“Nonsense”
“You’re lying aren’t you”
“No! That’s not true!”
Every time another character asks Grian about why he's so frantic he tells them Scar is his soulmate to which they sing “I’m so sorry” to him like in @intraweb’s post. Once all the other pairings (minus the divorced quartet) finish their part he finally tells Scar about their soulmate bond where Scar sings the line “my soulmate is you” where I want to incorporate intraweb’s idea of Scar being really excited to be Grian’s soulmate with the jellie pandas singing in the background like in @wasyago’s tags (which also falls kinda inline with @abyssmonarch-cookie’s idea). I also want to incorporate ashtreehollow’s, @carrioncider’s and crowzeal’s idea of desert duo having their motifs not be their soulmate motif but their separate character ones and while Scar is singing his part of this song Grian is singing on top of him with his worries and grievances about how Scar isn’t careful enough.
3. Who is my soulmate? (reprise)
There is a decent break between this and the first rendition of the song because between them Pearl and Martyn had their whole nether expedition and the lost and bound game. It starts with Pearl singing “my soulmate is you” but with Scott cutting in singing “But we don’t need you” with the leif motifs for galaxy duo and zombiewood splitting into the separate character motifs from @sandsoftide’s tags. Scott and Cleo reveal themselves as chosen soulmates and the key becomes its minor version, slower and Scott and Cleo’s motif’s blend to become the chosen soulmate leif motif. Scott and Cleo leave the stage and Pearl tries to get Martyn to remain with her only for him to sing “My soulmate isn’t you” and leave Pearl on her own. Also if the original version of the song was the typical band style song with drums, guitars, keyboards etc. the reprise would be a string orchestra similar to “the quartet at the ballet” suggested by carrioncider.
4. Un-Tilly be friends
Get it, cause it sounds like “Until we’ll be friends”. This is Pearl’s “I want” song where she sings about maybe getting a friend based on op’s reblog, which is also composed with her leif motif, super upbeat but also very sad lyrics based on crowzeal’s tags. It starts with her singing to herself about her woes and how she’s all alone now but still has hope for a friend until Scar shows up and they talk about their woes with their soulmates together like intraweb’s post until Scar suggests getting powered snow and leaves where the song slows down and Pearl’s motif gets a bit distorted because she’s alone again but then she brightens up and starts singing about her best friend Tilly, this is where @hermitshell’s idea comes in where Tilly then suddenly dies then the beat drops and the song gets even more warped. Pearl is then axe crit’ed by Scott and gets even sadder until Box boys show up (from intraweb’s idea) which causes the song to get happier because they promise her a dog which excites her but then Scar shows up and scares them away but the song still stays happy and upbeat because Scar’s here. A bit of a time skip where Pearl gets Tilly and decides to visit Box Boys then the horse prank happens which abruptly ends the song
5. We’ll unbound you
This is a duet (or technically quartet) song based on op’s reblog between the homewreckers and the chosen soulmates in their quest to split off the rest of the soulmate pairs. I added homewreckers here because NO-ONE HAD ANY SONG IDEAS FOR THEM???? That makes me really sad and that needs to be fixed. It's mostly an upbeat and silly song based off the failed attempts by these groups and the shenanigans they get into with their homewrecking schemes and the relationship ranch however at the very end of the song the four of them repeat the line “We’ll unbound you” until it switches to Grian singings “I’ll unbound you” while standing in front of the heart in box which leads to the secret soulmate plotline
6. My gift to you
SECRET SOULMATES DUET. Based on @leylila’s idea, it’s this overly cute, really sweet love-dovey duet song filled with every cliche in the book and the entire song about Grian talking about his gift of the heart to BigB and them singing about how excited they are about this relationship.
7. Reel him into the surface
The Act 1 finisher where the ranchers bring the warden to the surface (name inspired by @radishearts). It’s split into two parts, the first part being just of the ranchers with their leif motif being highly prevalent in the song but, as intraweb’s post states, constantly changing tempo and distorting however whenever Jimmy sings to calm Tango down the leif motif becomes more normal, but that doesn’t stop Tango’s crazed ramblings about how “we’re gonna reel him into the surface” and how dead Scar is gonna be. The second part is when the warden does arrive at the surface and to fulfil @thetimeagent’s wishes it will become a rock ballad. The song turns into the showstopping ensemble piece as stated in op’s reblog starting with Martyn and Pearl singing “I hear a Warden screeching!” “Are you joking?” “Are you looking?” Then they run for their lives running into each of the soulmate pairs where they add their lines (when they run into box boys they are arguing about the secret soulmates thing but then are quickly distracted by the warden like in raddishhearts’ tags) until they all sing together to “Reel him into the surface” which makes reel a pun because fishing rods. The song ends with the Warden killed and a very sad Tango.
8. Fell in love
A zombiewood song which starts as just Martyn’s leif motif as he sings about how in love he is with Cleo and Cleo just not having it so wherever Cleo butts in their motif starts to place but zombiewood’s motifs don’t become their soulmate motif until the VERY end of the song, then bad math happens like in leylila’s post where we only her Martyn’s leif motif on its own again but very slow and sombre.
9. My thanks to you (My gift to you reprise)
This happens after Ren and BigB turn red and is about them trying to work together. This version of the song is slower and quieter. It starts with just Ren and BigB’s leif motifs separate from each other and the lyrics are deconstructions of the overly cliche lyrics of the og
“I'm not as bright as the sun”
“I can't move heaven or Earth”
“A blessing or a curse”
“I’ll never be ‘the one’, but we can make this work”
But even though their not as dramatic or bombastic or overly loving it’s very genuine and sweet as their soulmate leif motif starts to form with the two of them laughing and messing up the melody and jumping in at the wrong time but still very happy.
10. The time is now
The title was taken from BigB’s 4th episode and is about the pool party. It first starts with the homewreckers singing about how “the time is now to have some fun!” and then inviting everyone to join them with some interludes of the ensemble just chatting until you hear the box boys’ leif motif when the zombies come out and start attacking everyone. Somewhere in the song the fishing rod incident happens but I forgot the timeline for this.
11. Everything burns
Ah yes the song that started it all. I agree with @featheredenby in the fact that it should start with a Joel scream. It starts off with a dramatic and manic monologue by Joel before the first verse hits. It’s mostly just Joel singing frantically with Etho very occasionally butting in for banter but also to harmonise with Joel in the chorus. It’s never quite rap but the song is extremely fast paced and difficult to sing (like those really hard rhythm game songs). The song will consist of heavy guitars, drums and bass with a super fast tempo. The final line is “And everything will burn” from @sparks-chaotic-cove’s post.
12. Burn the keep
Based on crowzeal’s tags for a burn the witch/angry mob type song where the ranchers and desert duo are stuck in the red velvet keep with Boat boys trying to kill them. This is also the first song where we actually get to hear desert duo’s leif motif because they're trying to survive together (ashtreehollow’s idea). When the s-tier water bucket clutch happens I imagined the song temporarily becomes slower and with wind instruments with desert duo’s leif motif being stronger as the song took a more hopeful turn, but then ranchers die and it returns back to the original beat where desert duo run for their lives as the song ends.
13. You’re still here? It’s over.
This song starts after Jimmy dies and gets killed by the endermen and is the rancher’s curtain call song. The stage is black and only two red spotlights are on stage pointing down at the two of them. The entire song is slow with violins and a soft piano playing their leif motif with them both apologising to each other and putting themselves down while continuously telling the other they did their best and how happy they were to be the other’s soulmate. The song goes through all their moments together until they turn around to face each other and slowly walk together until both their spotlights join each other as they sing the final line of “Let’s go home” where they walk to the right side of the stage together. (Tango's ending message in his finale drives me insane if you couldn't tell)
14. We have to fight
Box Boys’ curtain call song which starts when Ren and BigB realise the other reds are burning the box. It's a really triumphant song with matching band energy with boat boys and desert duo in the background chanting “ship burns, everything burns” and “will you fight” respectively. When the two die the song loses a lot of its instruments but there is still a bass guitar playing the soulbound leif motif in the background where Ren tells BigB he’s happy that he stayed by his side despite everything and BigB thanks Ren for still believing in him despite everything.
15. Fell in a situation (Fell in love reprise)
Behold @fountainpenguin, Zombiewood’s awkward alliance mates number. This is right after Cleo offers Martyn to live with her or when they decide to move into box (I actually haven't watched either dl povs so idk if this actually happened). Unlike the og song this is mostly just their soulmate leif motif and they actually get to sing together this time, properly duetting unlike the og where they kept on interrupting each other. This is them just being awkward and pretending they are still annoyed about being together and how they definitely haven't started forming a deeper bond with whenever one of them starts being genuinely nice to the other they immediately backpedal which is great.
16. My apology to you (My gift to you reprise 2 electric boogaloo)
Yeah that’s right, my gift to you gets two completely different reprises cause it’s just that narratively interesting. Desert duo’s curtain call song which happens right after Grian kills them with the warden, though really it should just be Grian’s curtain call song because as in op’s and fountainpenguin’s posts, Scar doesn’t sing AT ALL with the entire song only consisting of Grian’s leif motif. Even though musically they aren’t connected I want this song to parallel “Why are you still here? It’s Over” with that song being about two soulmates apologising to each other whereas this one is one soulmate half heartedly apologising whereas the other one is completely silent. This song also starts with two red spotlights on the two of them however while Grian is standing up Scar is lying curled in the corner with the audience unable to see his face (based on fountainpenguin’s idea). The “I’m so sorry” line in the song is the exact same as the one in “Who is my soulmate” like in intraweb’s post but the rest of the song is just Grian apologising (about the warden) and how he’s sorry he broke Scar’s heart (because that’s what happened when you’re faced with a warden screech) and and he’s sorry for not being with him (by going down to get a warden to the surface). The og song is supposed to be a duet with one person singing a few lines then the other person singing the next couple of lines and just alternating however when it’s supposed to be Scar’s turn he’s just glaring at Grian. At first Grian is like “Scar, it’s your turn come on, sing” but once he realises he isn:t singing Grian haphazardly continues the song, Grian tries to get Scar to sing the second time he’s supposed to come one but it didn’t work and by the third swap Grian just continued singing until at the very end Scar says:
“You’re lying aren’t you”
“No….that’s not-”
And then the music cuts with Grian and Scar leaving in separate directions of the stage states by fountainpenguinn.
17. Un-Tilly be friends (reprise)
This is based on op’s reblog where Pearl is with the remaining reds and is trying to team up with them but fails to. The song is faster this time and in a separate key played with more drums and guitars than before but Pearl’s motif is also louder this time.
18. And everything finally burned (Everything burns reprise)
Boat Boys’ curtain call song, name from sparks-chaotic-cove's post, which is an orchestral rendition of the song but still very rapid-fire and intense mostly based on intraweb’s idea of it being short, Joel and Etho screaming at each other, a big crescendo and ending with:
“And everything finally burned”
“Including us”
With the music suddenly cutting
19. Something wicked this way comes
Homewreckers curtain call song which starts when they're in the woods and are hiding with their soulmate motif playing softly. The song is quiet but tense like from a horror movie with the drums slowly getting lower and faster until the music suddenly stops and pearl’s motif starts playing and she starts singing “something wicked this way come” where the song takes a sudden shift in tone as violins start playing and the song’s tempo speeds up as it gets more actioned packed until Bdubs is stuck in the corner and swings his axe, and it’s revealed he hit Impulse by accident but before he could say anything Pearl kills them. The music stops but Pearl’s motif starts to be quietly played in the background. The homewreckers get a short moment where they laugh at the hilarity of their death and wish the divorced quartet the best of luck.
20. Now that leaves it with this
After Pearl’s insane double kill it moves over to the remaining divorced quartet members who are together who are cheering for Pearl’s win. Pearl’s motif is still playing from the previous song but now the rest of their individual motifs starts to blend with it until we finally hear for the first time the divorced quartet’s motif as in ashtreehollow’s tags. Scott comes to the horrible realisation “Now that leaves it with this” and Martyn lays the first blow. This is when the song gets more intense with violins, flutes, pianos, guitars and synths with a rapid tempo as zombiewood starts to chase Pearl. When they meet up with Pearl the song quiets for a bit with Pearl’s motif getting louder until Martyn starts attacking her dogs where the volume of the song return but Pearl’s motif is still there, in fact, the more damage she’s doing to the louder it gets until zombiewood is out (this also serves as zombiewood’s curtain call song with them at the end saying the lines
“And here we are”
“To the end”)
21. Tilly death do us part + Who is my soulmate reprise 2 electric boogaloo
The song starts when galaxy duo arrives at spawn. Now throughout the musical I imagine whenever a soulmate pair arrives on the stage or is interacting with each other we get to hear their soulmate leif motif and this is true for galaxy duo however every time this has happened the motif was distorted or out of tune in some way. This song is the first time we get to hear their soulmate motif in complete clarity. This song starts with Scott talking about their initial feud and break up with Pearl later joining in but not interrupting Scott as they are actually singing a proper duet this time. They go over all the good and bad times, their deaths and kills until finally Scott sings:
“Pearl you deserve this more so in the same way, Tilly death do us part”
Pearl demands why and this is where “Who is my soulmate” comes in (tilly death do us part and who is my soulmate reprise are two separate songs but are right next to each other in a similar way to fly octo fly and ebb and flow in splatoon 2) where Scott and Pearl sing in the same tune as the og song:
“Because my soulmate is you”
“Don’t you know I forgive you”
“Because my soulmate is you”
“Can’t you see I forgive you”
“Because my soulmate is you”
“Stop it please I forgive you”
With after every line the tempo gets faster and the song’s key gets higher until Scott and Pearl sing at the same time “My soulmate is-” “Scott I forgive-” but before either of them can say ‘you’ the song ends with Scott lying on the ground and Pearl in the centre of the stage with her motif playing quietly in the background based on ashtreehollow’s final tag until it fades to the final song:
22. The moon (Double life reprise)
This is the watchers pulling a greek chorus again singing about Pearl and the tragedy of her win. Hailing her as the moon and mocking her over the fact she won the same of soulmates completely alone.
Some of the songs might not align with the timeline because I haven't watched everyone's povs but I hope this is worth the long read! I hope more songs get added to this!
double life musical. i don't know how to write a musical at all however i think boat boys should have a duet entitled "Everything Burns" and then it reprises when they're eliminated

The grey concrete building stood tall in front of you. You leaned your head back to see the top, but it was nearly impossible. All you could see were windows leading into the sky. A doorman in a black uniform stood by the entrance, watching whoever went in and out. He nodded his head with a stoic look in a greeting.
The lobby looked more welcoming than the outside building. There was a fireplace with three sofas surrounding it and a coffee table stacked with magazines. A few women were already sitting there, gossiping about the new dapper doctor that had rented the entire top floor.
You rolled your eyes and went over to the reception. A man stood to greet you with a smile, but he was talking to someone in his headset, which only took a few seconds before he hung up.
“I am sorry about that, how may I help you, miss?” he asked.
“I’m here for an appointment with dr. Syverson,” you said a little nervously.
“Ah, yes. I have a form you need to fill out,” he handed you a piece of paper and a pen, “The elevators are just right over there. Take it all the way to the 52nd floor. Another receptionist will be there to guide you further.”
You accepted the paper and went for the elevators. A chill went down your spine as the cold air from the air condition hit you. You pressed the button for dr. Syverson’s floor. An orchestral song started playing over the speakers. It wasn’t until you listened closely to the lyrics that you noticed it was ‘Nothing Else Matters’ by Metallica.
You closed your eyes, swaying to the beat of the soft drums. Lars Ulrich had been your celebrity crush as a teen, and you still listened to their older songs when you had a bad day.
The elevator doors opened with a loud ‘ding!’, pulling you out of your trance. Another receptionist stood at the opposite side. She looked up from the computer and smiled.
“Welcome to dr. Syverson’s clinic. Do you need help filling out the paper?” she asked nicely. You quickly scanned what you needed to scribble down. It was mostly your personal information and history of health.
“No, I think I can manage, thank you,” you smiled back.
“You can take a seat in the sofas, and when you’re done just fold it and put it in the mailbox, dr. Syverson will call you in, shortly,” she motioned to a black mailbox by the elevators that you had missed when walking past it.
You nodded and went for the sofas. The room was warm and comfortable with green plants everywhere. The sand-coloured leather sofas were softer than you expected as you sank down. You filled out the form and put it in the box.
Instead of sitting back down, you decided to walk over to the floor-to-ceiling windows and take a look at the impressive view of the city. Your eyes widened at how far you could see, all the way to the ocean, and if you squinted your eyes, you might have been able to see your apartment building, even the bar you had often been frequenting lately.
Dr. Syverson walked out of his office. He stretched his arms above his head, feeling a bit sore from having sat down reading his patients’ charts all afternoon. Now he just needed to check on his last appointment, before he could go home and enjoy an ice-cold beer.
His receptionist was packing her stuff, sending him a kind smile. The perks of working with his sister were that she didn’t try to seduce him, or leave her underwear in his white coat pocket like some of his patients tended to do.
He smiled back and looked around the room. His gaze landing on you. His first thoughts were not ‘oh there’s my patient’, no, his mind went straight to ‘YOWZA!’.
“Last patient for today, Luc. I’ll be leaving now, see you tomorrow,” he heard his sister say to him. She smacked his arm to get his attention. He was pulled back to reality, saying goodbye to her before walking towards you, changing his mindset from dirty to professional.
You gasped when a flock of seagulls flew by, making you take a step back and hit a wall. Except the wall had arms that grabbed your shoulders before you hit the floor.
“Whoah, careful there, miss,” a deep rough voice said. You looked up and saw a man with a trimmed beard, a soft smile on his lips, and a mischievous look in his cerulean eyes.
“I’m so sorry,” you choked out. You quickly remove yourself from his arms, first now noticing that he was wearing the white coat signalling he was dr. Syverson. And if that didn’t kick your brain in gear, then the name tag on his chest should do it. Dr. Lucas P. Syverson.
“It’s all good. This way, please,” he made sure you followed him to his office. The wall colour changed to a more soothing beige colour and was adorned with colourful paintings. You didn’t notice what they depicted before you stepped closer to one. It was of naked human bodies in various forms and shapes, very fitting for a gynaecologist’s office.
He had various books about his profession, but a few stood out to you. One had a peach on the cover and was written by dr. Syverson himself. You were impressed but wondered about the peach until you saw the title that made you blush deeply.
“How to eat a peach for dummies.”
He motioned for you to sit in the armchair, while he plopped down on the opposite one. He grabbed a chart from his desk and a pen.
“I’ve had a look at your medical history, and the…” Dr. Syverson looked down on the chart, “three gynaecologists that you have been referred to have written that you are in a state of good health. Well, we’ll see about that, I’m not too keen on some of these doctors you’ve had appointments with. They’re as old as Methuselah.”
You let out a peal of laughter. The joke having put you at ease with the doctor, who was smiling as you calmed down from your fit of giggles.
You were a little bit shocked by this doctor. Dr. Syverson was nothing like how you had imagined him. He couldn’t be over 40, with the extended educational schooling he would have had to go through. You remembered having read somewhere that it took at least 12 years to become a gynaecologist.
“Oh my gosh, they were. Another thing they had in common was that they would take a “quick” peek, not caring that I was screaming in pain, and then tell me that I’m healthy as a horse.”
Dr. Syverson sat back; his brow pushed together. You could practically hear the gears turning behind his forehead. He ran a hand through his beard, which made you notice that he wasn’t wearing a ring. If he wasn’t your doctor, you might have asked him on a date. Had you only met him at a bar instead of his office, and not being his patient. Damn it.
“There is definitely an issue we need to figure out here. I want you to know, miss that I plan on solving this mystery. Please, tell me in your own words what you think is wrong?”
You opened your mouth to explain, but all the sentences you thought of were too embarrassing to say out loud.
“Miss, you can say anything here. Nothing leaves these four walls, I promise you,” dr. Syverson tried to make you feel more comfortable with him with his gorgeous smile. His presence alone was putting you at ease. How did he do it?
“It burns when I’m penetrated,” you confessed.
“Penetrated how? During intercourse or masturbation?”
“I haven’t had sex since this happened. I can barely stuff two fingers in there,” you blurted, turning tomato red, confessing something so private to a total stranger, but it felt great to finally say it out loud, like a heavy stone being lifted from your shoulders.
“How about I take a look? Let me see with my own eyes that you’re ‘healthy as a horse’,” he quoted the old men, making you giggle. “You can leave your trousers and underwear on the bench, and have a seat on the table. I’ll be back in a few minutes.”
The dashing doctor left the room while you removed your clothing. Feeling a little self-conscious, as you walked over to the gynaecologist table with the stirrups and sat between them, trying to cover your private parts with your shirt.
Dr. Syverson came back soon with a variety of scented candles in his arms.
“The smell of something nice usually helps my patients to relax a little,” he explained. He held them up for you to choose.
“This one,” you smiled and handed him the one called Ocean Mist.
“Nice choice, that one is my favourite,” the doctor grinned. He set the lit candle on his desk. The scent of a sandy beach and salty ocean soon filled the room. The doctor pulled the ultrasound machine towards you. You leaned back on the table inhaling deeply, willing your abdominal muscles to relax. The sounds of a guitar reached your ears. You watched as he set a portable speaker on the small table next to you.
“I hope you don’t mind a little music,” he said, smiling, while he put on a pair of bright orange gloves.
“I love Metallica, so please keep it flowing.”
“Can you guess the song I’m playing? Put your legs up here for me,” he patted the stirrups.
You lifted your legs, intensely listening to the instrumental version of the song.
“Is it ‘The Unforgiven’?” you asked.
“Correct, you’re good. This is going to be a little bit cold,” he squirted a large amount of gel on the ultrasound wand. He slowly inserted the rod inside you, pushing ever so gently. “How long have you listened to Metallica?”
You winced at the invasion but tried to keep your muscles from tightening around the smooth object. You didn’t see the set jaw on the gorgeous looking doctor. Your sweet scent was tickling his nose and making his mouth salivate by the thought of tasting you.
“Since I was a teenager. I’ve been to at least one concert per tour they’ve done,” you groaned in pain.
“I’m sorry, your right ovary is a little difficult to find. You’re doing great. Your left ovary is the epitome of health. Are you on any kind of birth control?” he asked casually, trying his best to make you feel safe around him.
“N… no… I…” your voice broke, and tears started streaming down your cheeks. Doctor Lucas quickly removed the wand, cleaned it and sat down next to you.
“It’s okay. Let it all out,” he told you softly. Concern for your well being was painted on his chiselled face.
“It’s just that… I haven’t had sex for years, YEARS doc. No man wants a broken woman, especially not a woman that cannot be penetrated without her screaming in pain.”
You babbled so much you forgot that you were in a gynaecologist’s office and not at a psychologist.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to blurt all that out,” you started to blush a crimson red.
Lucas fought hard not to pull you into his arms. His protective instincts were on high alert; he wanted to make you feel safe, make you feel loved. He was cursing the bastards who had hurt you. To him, women were the stronger sex, had to endure more pain than men. Women are precious, made to birth life, made to give love and be loved.
“It’s quite alright. You’ve had a rough time,” he patted your arm, the safest place to touch you and went to get up. “I’m going to feel around to see if there’s something I’ve missed with the ultrasound. What other bands do you listen to?”
You watched as doctor Syverson slapped on another pair of gloves and squirted a smaller amount of gel on his finger, on his long thick finger. You were practically drooling by watching him prepare to examine you.
“Eh… I listen to a little bit of everything,” you said. You laid back down and draped an arm over your eyes. Watching the handsome doctor working was becoming too much for you. He was stirring feelings inside you that you hadn’t felt in a long time, and not in this form or quantity. You had taken a look at his well-proportioned ass when he walked out earlier, and his black trousers did very little to hide his hefty package.
“I’m sorry, but, again, this is going to be a little cold. What was the last song you listened to?” he warned.
It was an erotic scene, watching him standing between your legs, one hand on your belly, while the other was about to enter your most sacred place. You felt him enter. A soft moan escaped your lips.
Lucas’ ears perked. He hadn’t expected to hear that sound coming from your full lips. Had he heard correctly? The little vibration from you sent a jolt straight to the beast he was trying to keep dormant. This wasn’t the first time a woman had moaned while he examined them, but you were different. Another sweet sound reached his ears. You were so responsive to his touch, so open, so reactive. His mind was racing, but one word kept popping up, more.
You had forgotten how to speak, how to form sentences, how to communicate. You could only feel.
“Miss?”
“Hmm?”
“The last song? You listened to,” he didn’t mean to sound so tense, but he had to distract himself, his treacherous mind, he needed to keep the small-talk going, to break the silence. He wanted to kick himself in the balls for thinking about you, while he was fingers deep inside you. His compassionate instinct was winning over his lust.
Stop it, Lucas! You’re a professional. You cannot mess up! You CAN NOT fuck this up! She needs your help. Lord, give me strength.
“Oh...” you murmured, coming back from whatever universe he had sent you to with his finger technique, “Ehm, before the Metallica song in the elevator, I listened to ‘What’s Your Country Song’ by Thomas Rhett.”
“That’s a great song. I like country music.”
“I wouldn’t have guessed you as a country kinda g… GOD!!!” you gasped as he curled his finger, touching the spot.
You released a louder sinful sound, a sound that hadn’t left your lips in a very long time. Lucas watched as your chest was heaving, gasping for air. The room was suddenly suffocating him. He felt like he was burning up from the inside. His breath was hitched, and he couldn’t form a coherent sentence. Why did you have to sound like desire itself?
“Does it hurt when I do this?” he asked, his voice lowering an octave and reduced to a velvety whisper. He hooked his finger once more, listening intensely to the sounds escaping you.
You couldn’t take it anymore. Your eyes rolled back in your head. You lifted your hips, moving your pelvis closer, needing more friction, needing to feel him deeper inside you.
Fuck!
He was watching you, vehemently. A fire was burning deep in his groin, heck even his eyes were flaming. His shoulders moved fastly up and down as he was heaving in the air through his parted lips, he needed oxygen, he needed to control himself. He was scolding himself for feeling like a horny teenager.
“This is… wrong,” he said in a panic. He moved his hand away from you. You wrapped your fingers around his wrist in a fierce grip.
“Please…” you begged, “please don’t stop. I… I haven’t felt like this in a long time. Please, Lucas… I need you… I need you to finish this.”
He could hear the need in your voice. He could smell your arousal. You were clawing your nails into his skin. The look in your eyes was clear that you wanted him just as much as he wanted you. The same eyes were shining with unshed tears, begging him for release, and the sound of his name from your lips was making him so close to breaking his resolve.
“I… can’t… you’re my patient,” he groaned, his forehead showing the concerned lines of wrinkles, which made him look even more desirable.
“Can’t you make an exception? Just this once? Please...”
Lucas ran a gloved hand through his short-cropped hair. He turned away from you, needing support for his shaky legs he leaned against the back of his office chair. He was thinking about it, really thinking about it.
“Please, doll. Don’t test me. I’m standing on the edge, and I’m this close to jumping in with both feet. I can lose my career, and I don’t want you to regret this tomorrow.”
You watched as his shoulders sank. You moved off the examination table, pulling the hem of your shirt down to try to cover your nakedness.
“I’m sorry, dr. Syverson. I… I didn’t mean to put you in such a precarious situation,” your voice was small. Your gaze firmly on the wooden floor beneath your feet, you felt so ashamed to have tried to seduce your gynaecologist, who was only trying to help you. Lucas turned around to the sound of your voice breaking, and a little saddened that you started calling him his title again. Your cheeks flushed, your arms wrapped around yourself. You gathered the courage to move towards your clothes.
“Damn it!” he cursed. He moved towards you with the speed of lightning before you could take a single step. His large muscular frame wrapped around you, your head was laying on his chest, listening to the racing of his heartbeat.
“Say ‘you’re fired’,” he ordered, his voice husky and commanding like some kind of army captain, but it was also desperate. Desperate for you not to leave him. Craving your touch. Desiring, longing, yearning, lusting for you.
Your eyes widened in shock as you processed his words. He heard you gasp as you realised what he was saying.
“Dr. Syverson… you’re fired,” you whispered seductively, although a little shaky too. You watched as the sweet and calm doctor changed before your very eyes.
He clashed his lips with yours in a hungry kiss. He was starving; his only thought was to taste you that was his only goal. Your scent had been making him insane; famished was more correctly described.
While holding you in his arms, he made you move backwards until your bum found the end of the exam table.
His kisses were desperate, and so were you. Your heart felt as if it was about to beat out of your chest. Your breathing was shallow. It was going to happen; it was really going to happen.
He lifted you up and made you sit on the exam table. He parted your legs and went to stand between them. He cupped your face between his warm palms, leaning down to kiss you again. He kissed your jaw and all the way to the shell of your ear.
“Please, don’t regret this,” he whispered and went to touch his forehead against yours.
“I want it, even more than you do,” you answered breathlessly.
With your consent, there was no turning back now.
He devoured your mouth while his hands roamed all over your body. He unbuttoned your blouse while you shoved his white coat to the floor. You pulled at his button-up, buttons were flying everywhere. He shoved your shirt down your shoulders and off your arms before he threw it somewhere behind him. You ran your hands up and down his hairy chest, wanting to feel all of him, not the doctor, but the fine specimen of a man that he was.
He removed your bra with a flick of his fingers. Slowly revealing your breast to him. Your nipples two hard buds, waiting for his mouth to suck, lick, bite, whatever he wanted to do.
“God, you’re so beautiful,” he whispered. His voice was desperate, so filled with lust, but also something oh so sweet.
Lucas moved his lips down your collar bone. Feasting on your breast, nibbling at your skin, before he finally went to town with your nipples. With the first touch of his tongue on your left breast, while he pinched the right, you let out a loud guttural sound. Just him playing with your bosom was about to send you over the edge. The coil in your belly was so close to snapping.
“More… Please, Lucas, more,” you whimpered, pushing his head to the place where you needed his mouth the most, right between your thighs.
You heard him chuckle. He gently pushed you down, making sure you were comfortable before he hooked your legs over his shoulders for better access to your glistening desire.
“Fuck…” you mewled. The sight of the mountain man between your legs, the growing bulge in his dark trousers was so erotic you were about to combust. Your sex was on fire.
“Your body is divine, bug. It was made to be worshipped. I want to make the pain go away,” he said softly.
You didn’t get to say a word as his tongue ran along the seam of your wetness, making you shutter from the first contact. His tongue was wide and long, his mouth blowing hot air as he sucked your lower lips gently.
That tongue of his was everywhere, inside you, lavishing you, adoring every centimetre of your flushed skin. You lifted your head to watch him working you into a frenzy, right as he sucked his index finger into his mouth, coating the digit with his saliva.
The pleasure that he was giving you was overwhelming. The moment he pushed his finger inside your womanhood, was like nothing you had felt before. His finger was warm, and it was a whole different feeling than when he was gloved. His tongue darted out to play with the glistening pearl hiding between your lips, sucking in his finger. Your wetness allowed his movements to be smooth and easy, in and out, and he found that spot that made you howl in ecstasy.
“Luc… I’m… I’m so close… FUCK!”
The coil broke, snatched, ripped apart. You weren’t pushed over the edge, you were shoved, hard, and the pleasuring waves kept coming and coming. It felt as if your orgasm was never-ending. You never wanted to come down from that high. It was addictive.
You released your hold of Sy’s head from your thighs, not having noticed you had trapped him. You were panting hard, trying to catch your breath after the tsunami of an orgasm the doctor had given you.
Lucas’ palm covered your cheek, wiping the tears that had fallen from your eyes.
“Did I hurt you, doll?” his face scrunched in concern.
You shook your head, no.
“No… that was the most amazing thing I’ve ever experienced.”
The smile on Lucas’ face was breathtaking. He was beaming with pride. You watched as he leaned back, noticing he was still wearing his trousers. The apparent bulge in his abdominal area looked painful.
You moved to sit up, motioning for him to stand.
“I want to return the favour,” you told him, unzipping his trousers. You were gentle, as the tent grew more extensive, the more you released his manhood from its confinement. You helped him out of his black boxer briefs and came face to face with the finest cock you had ever laid eyes on. You were drooling, licking your lips, dying to taste him.
“You don’t have to, angel,” he groaned as your tongue darted out to taste the precum leaking from the tip, hearing him growl, a sound coming from deep inside him.
“Please let me, Sy,” you pleaded, taking his length in your hand. You looked up to see Lucas nodding slowly. He groaned in acceptance.
You ran your tongue over your palm to lubricate it. Lucas’ eyes widened to the size of teacups. His cock jolting in excitement, his heart skipping a beat at the erotic scene happening right before him.
One hand touched his hips, moving to the small of his back, to have a grip on his ass, pushing him closer to your face. He filled your hand beautifully with his hardness, yet he was still soft to the touch of your palm. You started moving your hand up, slowly, hearing his gasp was turning you on even more than you already were. You smeared the clear precum around the glans with your thumb. Delicately wrapping your mouth around him. Your lips were stretched to max capacity, a voice in the back of your mind was telling you that you had to be careful not to lock your jaws, but then again you had a doctor right in front of you if the situation should happen.
You languidly moved his member further into your warm mouth, coating him with your saliva. Your tongue gliding over the tip. Lucas released a low moan that sent vibrations through his body. He lifted his face towards the ceiling. Your hand left his ass, moving down his thighs, tickling the backside of his knee, before travelling up the inside of his thigh and gently cupping his balls.
“Fuuuuuuck…” he guttered. You sucked the part that could fit in your mouth in synchronicity with your hand’s movement. He felt the tightening deep within his testicles. The hitching in his breath notified you of his coming release. You led his hands to your scalp, letting his fingers fisting your hair, before giving him a sultry look with his cock in your mouth.
He was grunting hard as he set the pace, while you did your best to keep up with him. Moving his hips, chasing his release inside your mouth. You relaxed your throat, letting him take over. You wanted so much to please him.
“Fuck, sunshine… I’m so close,” he growled.
“Come in my mouth,” you uttered. It was like something within him snapped the minute you voiced the words. He moved faster, harder, rougher. Until you felt the first spurts of his seed hitting your palate. You swallowed everything he spilt and then licked him clean.
Sy fumbled with his office chair as he sat down with a satisfied hum and pulled you to sit on his lap.
“That was amazing,” he smiled at you, kissing the tip of your nose, your cheek, the corner of your mouth and lastly a lingering kiss on your reddened lips.
“Glad you approve,” you grinned back, “Can I ask you something?”
“Anything.”
“About those books,” you pointed towards the books you had peeked at earlier.
“Theses I had to write for med school.”
“Tell me about them while you rest for round two.”

Psycho Analysis: Audrey II
(WARNING! This analysis contains SPOILERS!)
Man-eating plants are really cool, but you really don’t see them a lot in fiction these days. Sure, your average Scrimblo Bimblo is probably going to have to jump over a few of them in his game, but you never really see one take charge and be the big bad.
Well that’s cuz none of those other plants have half the guts Audrey II does.
An alien plant that zapped down to Earth during an eclipse, it ingratiates itself with the weak-willed Seymour, manipulating him into feeding it human flesh and blood so it can become bigger and stronger in its quest to spread across the world. And it does it all with great style, a killer smile, and one badass villain song.
Motivation/Goals: Audrey II’s got one goal in mind, and that is global domination. To this end, it dupes Seymour into feeding it and giving it the power to grow and expand. It’s kind of your typical evil alien plotline, combined with a “be careful what you wish for angle.” Seymour is getting fame and fortune at the cost of his soul and his peace of mind, and the plant bringing him this good fortune is duping him.
Performance: Levi Stubb’s of The Four Tops played Audrey II in one of his only two voice roles, the other being Captain N’s version of Mother Brain. Stubb realized that he was simply too powerful and had to give other people a chance to voice act, so he dipped and went back to being a hugely iconic Motown singer for the rest of his life after these two roles. Boy, does the man kill it as Audrey II though! But we can’t give all the credit to Stubb for bringing Audrey II to life, though his voice is the big selling point; props must also be given to the dozens of puppeteers who worked tirelessly to make this massive plant puppet feel as alive as it does. All of it just comes together perfectly.
Final Fate: It really depends on what version you’re watching. If you’re watching the theatrical version, Seymour manages to get the upper hand on the Mean Green Mother from Outer Space and manages to blow it up with an extremely corny stock explosion effect… or does he? Despite the seemingly happy ending, there’s another Audrey II in Seymour and Audrey’s yard. Dun dun dun!
youtube
In the Director’s Cut, though, Audrey II’s big song ends a little differently, namely in that Seymour fails and is eaten, which lets Audrey II’s plan go on completely unimpeded. Cue one of the most impressive feats of special effects and puppet work you will ever see as Audrey II and its numerous duplicates go on a kaiju rampage through New York. The movie ends with the fate of the world up in the air, and even the fourth wall isn’t gonna protect you because Audrey II bursts out of the screen.
youtube
Best Scene: “Mean Green Mother from Outer Space” is hands down Audrey II’s finest moment, simply because it is an awesome villain song sung by an alien plant voiced by a legendary Motown singer.
youtube
Of course, if we’re considering the Director’s Cut here, the extended kaiju rampage is just breathtaking with how impressive it is.
Best Quote: Say it with me now: “FEED ME.”
Final Thoughts & Score: Man-eating plants are seldom the big bad in fiction, and it’s a real shame when the original Audrey II, Audrey Jr., is one of the most influential man-eating plants in all of media (it inspired the Piranha Plants in Mario for crying out loud!). But I guess there’s a good reason for that: When there’s already Audrey II, where else can you go but down?
This villainous Venus Flytrap from the cosmos is just a glorious slice of B-movie fun. It has an amazing design coupled with fantastic puppet work and voice acting, it has a simple yet effective motivation and goal, and it has an awesome villain song. What more do you even need from a villain? Audrey II is just a clear and obvious 10/10, hands down, no question.
A big part of why Audrey II is so great is just the sheer audacity of it. This is a big, goofy plant monster who says shit like “Tough titty” and sings a toe-tapping villain song, and yet at the end of the day it is just so thoroughly wicked, evil, and manipulative. It’s such a charismatic creature that manages to be both genuinely, terrifyingly evil and awesomely fun and memorable. When it comes to horticultural horrors, there’s simply no comparison (Save maybe for Biollante, but she’s not really evil).

No because their relationship is beautiful and I will never stop screaming about it. Everything OP said is so accurate and I love it. The writing of this show, of these characters is absolutely phenomenal! Every little detail is important. And if you look at the soundtrack - pardon me while I let my music nerd out - specifically at Reki and Langa's "character songs" or "theme songs" if you will, and you listen to the English versions and compare it to the rough translations of the original Japanese, they talk about that kind of stuff.
Langa's song talks about "New emotions have come to life/Emerging so fast" and "Colors add to unsure tomorrows" and toward the outro it circles back to "A new emotion inside is burning" these are feelings he has when he's skating, sure, but as we see in the show, he only feels truly alive like this when he's with Reki. He can live his life vibrantly and in color with Reki around otherwise his life feels dull and almost colorless again.
And then there's Reki's song. I present to you the following quotes: "I don't mind the work spent to help out/If it adds to time spent to hang out/I wanna stay there, I've gotta stay there"
"Can't stop the feelings I got inside"
"I know of a place I can be me/Fills up my heart with some meaning"
And finally, "We're never gonna be alone again, I realized"
Reki is talking about S and his love of skating throughout this song and how that community became home to him, yes, but isn't it beautiful to think that Langa is his home, too? That they follow the idea of "Anywhere is home as long as I'm with you"? And the song even goes so far as to mention Reki realizing that neither he nor Langa have to be alone again as long as they have each other!
There's also the entire ending credits theme but I want to cite the lines (all of these rough translations of course): "No matter what, I'll be at your side"
"You'll always be in my heart"
"If the world ended tomorrow/I wouldn't need anything special"
And "Let's go together, I'll go with you/Talking about nothing with you forever"
Whether you see them as romantic or not, these have to be some of the sweetest song lyrics I have ever read. They love each other so much that they will always stick by each other, they could talk forever and presumably not get bored, they have permanently cemented themselves in each other's hearts!
There are so many small details and visual cues throughout the show itself that clearly demonstrate how important they are to each other, but that attention to detail extends to the music and the lyrics and ahhhhhh their relationship is just so deep and beautiful and I love themmmm!
If you, by some miracle, have read this far in my absolute essay that I did not intend to be an essay, thank you for coming to my Ted Talk 😅😅 ❤🩵🛹
Never forget how they saved each other.
Langa was stuck in his own grief. He was suffering. He was completely lost and depressed, even if he was hiding it deep down. And then Reki came. He tore him out of his depression, and gave him happiness in the midst of his suffering. He became his light and basically saved him.
And then there’s Reki. His depression and insecurities took over him. He was angry and sad and hateful toward himself. It wasn’t until he saw Langa skating, saw that light in front of him, that he started to feel stronger. Langa pulled him out of his depression, and gave him happiness in the midst of his suffering. Just as Reki did to Langa.
These two saved each other, even if they don’t fully understand it. Even if they credit it to skating, it was each other. They were each other’s light in the darkness; their raison d’etre.
#sk8 the infinity#sk8#sk8 renga#sk8 reki#sk8 langa#Reki Kyan#langa hasegawa#they’re so in love#i love them both so much#i obsess a ✨normal✨amount

Eternal Diva’s leitmotifs
Today in “Rucy won’t shut up about Layton”: I’m obsessed with Janice’s songs.
Basically, I’ve dedicated a few hours of my life to break down the songs of the CD: The Eternal Diva Janice Quatlane into the diferent themes that play during the movie. My post about doing it is gaining a lot of notes, so I hope this is well received and y’all are not liking that other post because astrophysics is cool (it is, but, so is Layton!).
Please be careful: This contains SPOILERS FOR THE MOVIE!
Brief disclaimer: While I know a bunch about music theory, it’s been a while since I’ve done a serious analysis and not having the sheets for the music it’s the opposite of convinient. So it may not be 100% perfect, but here we go!
Click in the image for better quality/readability! (The numbers in each cell indicate the approximate time in seconds each motive plays).
The first, most obvious theme in the movie --the whole plot revolves about it-- is the Song of the Sea. In the image it’s represented by the colour dark blue. I divided it in two parts “Song of the Sea” and “Song of the Sea Extended”, because it sometimes the first part pops out alone, like when Layton plays it with the piano or when Nina sings it in the beach.
However, the Song of the Sea is both parts together! As proof for this we have:
In Melina’s room, the Song of the Sea part 1 was fully written out, that’s how Layton can play it. Part 2, “Extended”, was only half written. Descole wouldn’t need Melina if he already had the song written out, would he?
Ambrosia only begins to rise when Melina starts to sing the part of the Song of the Sun I’ve labeled in light blue, the variations of “Song of the Sea Extended”.
It’d be fun, wouldn’t it? If Descole had had the Song of the Sea all that time without needing the Detragan... I wonder if he knew that he had part of it already. While it’s not exactly the version that’s sung in the Song of the Sun, in the song “A transient life’s departure”, which is from the opera, there’s already the long version of the Song of the Sea! Not even 12 minutes into the film, the Song of the Sea is heard as Ambrosia’s Queen dies and Layton narrates.
About the Song of the Sea, the longest version of the leitmotif outside when it’s specifically being sung in the Song of the Sun is in “Janice Tears”, that plays when Melina reveals herself. Interestingly, Indigo Memories has the exact same themes but doesn’t play in the movie (or at least I haven’t found it). In the non-vocal soundtrack there’s also a piece, “Travel Guide”, a version of Descole’s theme, that’s not used.
Aside from that theme, there are other three important leitmotives that I named after their lyrics in the final song: “senya”, in green, “anata dake”, in red, and “fukai” in yellow. “senya” and “anata dake” appear to be the leitmotifs of the opera “The Eternal Kigndom” itself, as they play in all the songs we hear that are part of the opera: “Record of Memories”, “Let this happiness be eternal” and “A transient life’s departure”. Interestingly, “senya” is the theme that Luke recognizes in the vinyl and reminds him of the whole movie.
This way, we can see that the final song of the movie consists basically of Janice singing the Song of the Sea in it’s “Janice’s Tears” version (aka, “Melina is revealed to be alive version”) and then singing all of “The Eternal Kingdom” opera leitmotifs. 7 full minutes of musical callbacks to Melina, that only ends when the credits do, as the Song of the Stars (the first of the three Songs, being also played by the vinyl!) brings us once more back to Layton’s office.
#eternal diva#professor layton#hershel layton#Janice Quatlane#jean descole#the eternal diva#luke triton#long post#music analysis#emmy altava#analysis#feel free to correct me if i get something wrong#the return of rucy the layton infodumper

not sure if you’ve answered this before, but what’s your process look like when you make an amv? i’m just curious and in constant awe of ppl who can make videos like you do :)
hello all!!! i have answered this before and i have a vid help tag with other asks i’ve gotten about stuff like this! but i’ve gotten several more messages along these lines so i’m just going to answer a bunch of them together (under a cut since i love to ramble about editing lol). i do just wanna say i’m definitely not the authority on video editing and obv everyone has their own techniques!
edit: i just finished typing all this up and it’s SO long so sorry in advance LMAO god bless anyone who reads this entire thing
so i work in news tv and we have a very specific workflow for writing scripts, sourcing video, producing, and editing. i’ve just applied that to making amvs! for every video i make, i copy the song lyrics into a google doc and adjust them to match the song i’ve cut (i often will trim songs for time and/or content purposes). then i start planning! i’ll mark down what clip i want to use for each lyric next to that line, and any sound bites i want to use (with episode numbers!). i’ll color code between video and sound bites and lyrics, so my scripts end up looking something like this (for my honeybee amv):
doing the planning ahead of time makes everything much easier when it’s a video that spans the whole show or involves a lot of sourcing, like honeybee or sports analogies. that way when i get to the actual editing process, i already know what i’m going to do and have a game plan. for videos like happy ending or believe it or not, where i’m mainly just pulling from a few episodes, i can just plan it in my head as opposed to writing it all down, and produce as i edit. obviously i do make in-the-moment decisions while editing—sometimes a shot doesn’t work the way i thought it would, or i go where the video takes me—but planning ahead definitely helps. i know some people use spreadsheets as well, with columns for lyrics, video clips, and sound bites if applicable. once you find a system that works, it actually goes pretty quickly.
as for sourcing clips themselves/finding clips within episodes, i talked about that here and kind of here. the short version is that transcripts are a must, and the supernatural wiki is hugely helpful by cataloguing all the hugs, prayers, phone calls, etc. in the show. gifmakers that tag episode numbers on their posts are your friends. it gets easier the more video you make—that’s another huge reason i make the google docs for each video (even the ones i plan in my head, i end up going back and making a loose script with episode notes just for reference). if i can’t remember where something is but i know i used it in another video, i can easily reference past scripts!
i also cut all my videos in the same project in premiere pro, so i can flip between them easily. instead of checking a past script, i can just go to the video sequence itself and copy the clip i’m looking for! this was especially helpful when i match cut together the 5x18 and 4x22 wall slam shots for my bestie video, and then stole it from myself for honeybee hahaha. at any given time i have at least 8 sequences open:
because of the sheer volume of videos i make, it’s worth it for me to download the entire show—i have all 327 episodes in HD, plus deleted scenes. if you think you’re only going to make a few videos, i’d start with scene packs. you can usually just google “destiel [or whatever ship/character you’re looking for] scene packs” and there will be any number of ones you can download. if you need other specific scenes, you can always download/torrent individual episodes or screen record netflix (that’s what i did before i got HD download links). i’m happy to share my links if you DM, but be warned it’s a lot of disk space (about 500GB on my hard drive). someone also compiled every destiel scene, downloadable here.
having every episode already loaded in premiere for all my projects also makes it a lot easier to source clips. once i use a clip in a video, i’ll put a marker on the episode file, so that after a while i have most of the important scenes/lines marked to easily find them. to give you an idea, this is my episode file in premiere for 12x10 lily sunder has some regrets (markers at destiel scenes, the car fight, hot girl cas, etc.). markers are the green tabs along the bottom:
premiere also lets you color code and name markers, so ONE DAY i will go back and color code them all. the ones above are all the same color, but in a perfect world, i’d have a myraid—for destiel shots like hugs, touches, looks; for important pieces of dialogue; for action shots; etc. but for now this works ok for me, so that’s a project for another time!
between detailed scripts, one giant premiere project, markers, the wiki, and my own memory, i have so many points of reference that i can usually find any clip i need in about 2 minutes max. sound bites are often harder to start out, or tiny specific shots i haven’t used before, and that’s when i turn to tumblr gifsets or beloved mutuals to crowdsource. but if you’re as obsessive about marking/keeping neat scripts as i am, it gets easier and easier with every video you make. that’s part of why i’m able to cut videos together so quickly. (also i want to stress i do this for a living and have to produce/edit a new piece for my show every day so i’m used to it. and compared to constantly updating content/sources and news that changes every day, 327 highly documented episodes that never change are much easier to handle hahaha)
this is all great for me since i make so many videos and plan to continue doing so, but if you’re only making a few, this level of work isn’t worth it imo. really it’s all about developing a system that works for you. whatever you do with episodes/sourcing, though, i cannot recommend planning things out in a script ahead of time enough.
everything i just mentioned is producing, though. for the editing process, i usually do it in this order:
music first. any parts i want to cut, i make sure it all sounds smooth
then soundbites. i usually try to weave them into the lyrics—i have characters talk in breaks between lines or instrumental sections as much as possible. i’ll sometimes go so far as looped/extending an intsrumental part to make room for the soundbite i want there lol. if i do have dialogue over a line, i do the sound mixing/levels at this point as well to make sure everything is audible/one doesn’t overpower the other. (also i always include the video that goes with these bites when i drop them in, and decide later if i want to show the character speaking or have other clips cover the dialogue)
once i have all the audio locked in, then i bring in all my other video clips. sometimes i edit completely chronologically, sometimes jumping from section to section—it depends on the song or how i’m feeling
double check sound mixing. i usually listen to my videos through a few times, with headphones and without to make sure it’ll sound good no matter how people watch it
once i have picture and audio lock, i go through and color correct my clips. i’m basic and just use lumetri color in premiere, and usually just play with brightness, saturation, temperature, and tint until i like it
render and export! :)
i always have several audio tracks, but i try to keep my video tracks condensed. i’ll drop clips on a V2 level, and edit a section there, and drop the whole chunk down to V1 so i know it’s finished. that way when i leave and come back i can know where i left off/what’s done/etc. to give you an idea, this is the timeline for my what the hell video:
i always render as H.264 with high bitrate, and make sure to check “render at maximum depth” and “use maximum render quality” for the best quality. i’m sorry, but i don’t know what the equivalent options are in final cut, imovie, kdenlive, etc. i post on youtube mostly so i don’t have to sacrifice quality, but usually just using a lower bitrate will get you under the tumblr file size limit and it’ll still look good.
as for the anon who asked about “polishing”: first of all, thank you!! second of all, it’s in the details. all of this is a matter of taste and my own insanity, but here are some little things i always try to do:
after i color correct, i blur out any credits from the starts of episodes. i use gaussian blur for this, but really any blur tool works
as much as possible, i avoid clips where we see a character’s mouth move but don’t hear the words. in tv/film we call it “lip flap” and i just think it looks messy. also i’m trained to avoid it at all costs at work hahaha. it’s more for serious videos that this matters a lot to me (e.g. i think i did a really good job eliminating lip flap in my happy ending amv)—for comedy videos i don’t sweat it as much
i put audio fades on the start and end of every single audio clip i use, even if i don’t think i need it, to make sure everything sounds smooth
i use markers for timing, especially in action-y videos like what the hell. i’ll put a marker on the clip i’m using at the exact moment a punch lands, and in the song on the beat. if i have the magnet/snap in timeline tool on i can just easily snap them together instead of having to spend time finagling it
this is such a small thing but i dip/cut to black for a tiny bit at the start and end of every video. this way if i post with tumblr video player, there’s black between the loops, and it gives you a beat before the video restarts. i do this even on videos i post on youtube, just because i think it looks nicer/more professional
this is 1,500 words so i’m going to stop myself before i pull something. if you have follow-up questions feel free to ask and i’ll continue to add them to the vid help tag, but any more questions about sourcing clips or my process in general i’ll just link this post going forward. anyone who made it this far, i am sending to a telepathic kiss. thank you for reading and happy editing!

How to use music in your projects the RIGHT way
So I was browsing YouTube to find royalty free music that would fit the vibe of my game and I came across this absolute clusterfuck of a comments section. For context, the music in question is royalty free, and there is a $20 licensing fee.
I am going to have an aneurysm from reading this.
So here’s a quick tutorial on what these words mean and how to get music for your projects, the right (read: legal) way.
ROYALTIES are an ongoing fee that depends on how many times the work is viewed or purchased. For instance, you might pay a certain percentage of the revenue from a YouTube video, a fixed amount for each time an ad is run, or a sum for every 1,000 books sold. When something is “royalty free,” you don’t have to pay the artist any ongoing fees.
LICENSING FEES are a one-time payment for permission to use the work in your final product. Just like you need a license to drive a car or use Microsoft Word. And just like Word, there might be some different licenses available, like a license for non-commercial vs commercial work, or a license to use it in multiple works.
JUST BECAUSE SOMETHING IS ROYALTY FREE DOESN’T MEAN THERE ARE NO LICENSING FEES!
So knowing those very basic facts, how do you find music to use in your games (/other projects)? Well first of all, Kevin MacLeod. All of his music is both royalty free and free. There’s a reason every YouTuber and their mother uses his songs! But say all of his music is too overused for your taste (this is especially the case in horror!)
Go to Bandcamp and type in “royalty free,” then click “Music tagged with royalty free.” Boom. Tons of music and sounds you can use as long as you buy them once- and plenty are available for free, too!
But wait, there’s more! How do you know what you’re allowed to do with those songs? Let’s talk about Creative Commons!
A Creative Commons license is what many artists use to waive their copyright protections, and music that is free to use is often going to be licensed under one of these. They allow the artists to give permission for you to use their work under copyright law. It’s important to actually check the license on music you want to use, because it’ll tell you exactly what you’re allowed to do and what you’re NOT allowed to do with it.
Let’s say, hypothetically, I want to use this instrumental track in my game-
Awesome. Let’s check the license on that bad boy. It’s located right near the bottom of the page, under the lyrics if the song has any. If it says “some rights reserved,” you can click the link to see the license.
In this case, here’s the summary of the license:
So it looks like we can use this song and edit it however we like so long as we make sure to credit the artist (generally with a name and link) and link to this license. Here are some other possible terms for CC licenses:
ShareAlike: You can remix and adapt the work as long as the new version is distributed with the same license.
NonCommercial: You can’t use it in works that make you money, such as in a monetized YouTube video or in an ad.
NoDerivatives: You can’t distribute an adapted version of the work, like a remix, mashup, or extended version.
If your song doesn’t have a CC license, check the description or any websites they have- they may have a different license listed there or included with the download. If it’s a small creator, you can always reach out to them and ask for permission. Otherwise, it’s fair to assume you’re not allowed to use their work.
Bottom line: Artists deserve to get paid for their work. If you wouldn’t want somebody to rip the code from your game without your permission or make money off of your artwork without paying you a dime, why should you do this with somebody else’s work? Take the time to make sure you’re allowed to use music the way you’re planning to use it, and be appropriately thankful when an artist does you the courtesy of asking for nothing in return.

ok. we are officially listening to the two additional tracks. trying to comprehend kind of failing here but we're doing it so first up. Araraari Raaro (titles the same for two of the versions)/Nallaani Cheekatilo. i literally cannot tell you when in the film this would show up maybe during the Deepika arc or the final climax idk but that bridge. that f*cking bridge my God. i have chills. Deepthi sounds so good the Hindi sounds so good the Tamil and Telugu sound even better WHAT. sorry to Zinda Banda and Chaleya and Not Ramaiya Vastavaiya but she's everything to me that's her ty for not releasing this as a single bc i would have lost my mind confirmed already struggling to pry myself away from this song to listen to the other one
Faraata/Pattasa/Garaata is the semi-party/Afro-esque(? at least to me) bop but you need to be in the mood to vibe for it. you need to have the atmosphere for the body rolls. kid you not i could not figure out the tempo for the first fifteen seconds and it was f*cking with me so i listened to the drums in the back and then i was like 'OH' and restarted the song. unfortunately for Arijit the Hindi is my least favorite version maybe bc of Badshah just showing up a third of the way through. i saw him on the credits so i expected it but not like that? ig? the problem is tho the mixing is notably better in that version than for the Tamil and now i'm slightly pissed bc they took the best part from her. the back and forth of the nagara? dhol? chenda(? i think? it's probably something i can't recall the name of rn) in my headphones is very much muddied. at least Telugu escaped most of the brunt of the f*ck up and Arivu sounds good rapping in both this and the Tamil but it's still there Anirudh what did you do. why would you do that to her. and with Nakash singing too what were you thinking in post-production i expected more
as for the title track it slaps but we expected that since it's an extended version of the prevue theme they had released the first time around. it's better than Pathaan's official theme imo like ik you can't exactly sing running with King Khan bullets rain down like it's thunder ready or not she got the glock she'll put you under you know we game time on the front lines till it's over deep in the trenches for you like a soldier when Jim is trying to blow sh*t up and Rubi is on his trail but ykw maybe you should have and that's just the tea
they released the full Jawan soundtrack two days before the film drops in theaters. these f*ckers are insane
#film: jawan#jawan#shah rukh khan#srk#vijay sethupathi#nayanthara#sanya malhotra#priyamani#deepika padukone#bollywood#local gay watches Bollywood.txt#tl;dr: we got Shah Rukh back with a full album to boot you don't get it. you don't f*cking get it#this soundtrack gets a stamp of approval from me. -5 points deducted for the Badshah feature and f*cked Tamil/Telugu mixing#but i said that already didn't i#the effect of that song on the album is cancelled out by the absolute superiority of Araraari Raaro and everything after so uh.#you get a pass somewhat#edit: i'm hearing rumors that Faraata is the SRDeepiKa song. i'm so sorry to those two but i change nothing of what i've said#extra edit: forgot to add that Faraata's instrumental reminds me of Sun Zaara from Cirkus. interesting

Make the Season Bright (Fred Weasley x Female!Reader)
A/N: FRED DESERVED TO LIVE! We were all robbed and I will spend my days making sure that fanon supersedes canon! To my lovely Nonny who requested this, here is the wintery fluff Fred Weasley we all need!
Prompt: 24. “I’m watching the Barbie Nutcracker.”
Word Count: 2.2K words
Playlist: The Christmas Song - Nat King Cole [YouTube] [Spotify]
Warnings: None!
“They know that Santa’s on his way He’s loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh And every mother’s child is gonna spy To see if reindeers really know how to fly.” The Christmas Song – Nat King Cole
He apparated into the alleyway behind her apartment complex and peered around the corner to ensure that no muggles caught him. The snow was falling in thick flakes, the silence of it crossing over everything. He could see the busy street of muggle cars zooming by, but their sound muffled by the weather. An experience not everyone got to experience. It was hard to explain, but it was one of his favourite things about winter, the hols aside. He thoroughly enjoyed a serene snowfall.
He scanned up and down the parking lot before making a clear beeline for the double low-rise apartments in front of him. His booted feet crunching with each step. He murmured a quick charm to brush away his footprints from the alley behind him. It was unlikely that anyone would notice the one-way prints, but he didn’t want to compromise himself or her.
A flurry of snowflakes floated past him in the breeze, and he hunched his shoulders forward while shoving his mittened hands into his pockets. He really should’ve worn a thicker jumper. There was no way she was going to believe he hoofed it on the underground all the way here in what he was wearing. He briefly thought about transfiguring it into a peacoat but knew it was putting too much at risk. He’d find a way to distract her from asking too many questions.
He hopped up the few steps into the courtyard, heading to his left to come up to the building doors. He paused before pressing on her buzzer and looked up into the second-floor window. He could see that her curtains were pulled closed, but he could still make out her shadow on the couch. He could see the flicker of light from her TV.
He was called out of his thoughts by the sound of someone approaching. Fred had become a keen ear on all things around him ever since the war. He figured it was overcompensation for George losing one of his. He spent more time reading body language and listening to everything around him. He could catch the smallest scrape from across the busy shop. In tonight’s quiet, it wasn’t hard at all for him to hear as the door was unlocked and then the hesitation of the other person before stepping through.
“Hey, buddy,” The stranger next to him called out, “You coming in or not?”
Fred whipped around, always surprised at the cold politeness of muggles. It made him chuckle. They were still offering to hold doors open or letting people pass, but it was always coated with distinct antipathy. He guessed that it wasn’t too much different from the way that the old purebloods of the wizarding world looked down on everyone else. That forced civility with the lower class always present in the way they held themselves.
He smirked to himself. The thought that purebloods and muggles had something in common made him want to taunt and tease a few specific people, but the war was over, and people were trying their best to move on and, in some cases, change. However, he knew that if others were making attempts to adjust to a new society, he couldn’t continue to treat them as unkindly as he’d done in the past. Shaking his head, he brought himself back to the present and turned fully towards the door.
With a broad smile to the other man, he nodded, “Yes sir, thanks!”
He bustled through the opened door behind him, and they parted ways as Fred skipped up the stairs two at a time. He was fascinated by the layout of muggle apartment buildings. Everyone in the wizarding world, or at least everyone he knew, lived in houses—most similar to the Burrow but some as grand as a Manor.
Reaching the second floor, he turned to his right to the first door and knocked lightly while trying the handle. The latch popped open, and the door opened easily under his touch. He raised his eyebrows in concerned shock but then remembered that they made this arrangement a few days ago. She was expecting him.
He poked his head through the door, looking straight and then to his right to where she was curled up on the sofa. He grinned at how comfortable she looked. There was a mug in her hand while her feet were curled next to her on the cushion with a blanket thrown over her lower half. He admired her small grin as she watched whatever was on the screen, but he found he couldn’t take his eyes off of her.
He sent a silent prayer out to Granger, the smartest muggleborn out there. She’d given him a crash course in all things muggle that had helped him woo this fine woman. He was still trying to find the courage to tell her who and what he really was, but it was always hard. Every time he found himself on the verge of uttering that infamous phrase, he always chickened out. Oh, if George could see him now.
Pushing the door open, he extended his arms out with a flourish, “Honey, I’m home!”
He did a bit of a spin while she looked over at him and chuckled at his entrance. The sound of her laughter sent his heart into a flurry, and his stomach filled with butterflies. He realized at that moment that tonight was going to be the night that he finally told her. Stopping in his twirl, he leaned over her sectional couch and sent her his signature wink. She clutched at the mug in her hands as she tipped her head to the side and laughed out loud at his antics.
He quickly toed off his shoes and shed his jumper, hat and gloves. He hopped over the back of her sofa, ignoring her protests as she stepped all over the cushions until he was cuddled up against her. He leaned in as close as he could get, only her cup stopping him from making it all the way. He gauged the scowl on her face, finding the mirth laying unhidden in her expression. He lit up into a bright smile before smashing his lips against hers.
She sighed at the greeting, letting her shoulders relax and her hands holding the mug settled into her lap. She lifted one hand away from the item to lay it against his cheek, sneakily threading her fingers up into his hair. He broke the kiss with a fake but content growl. She laughed again, quietly, only for the two of them.
Taking a liberty, he lifted her cup and leaned forward onto the table while taking a moment to watch the movie playing. He furrowed his brows at the scene before him, utterly confused. She’d shown him animated movies before, but this one looked very strange. Almost as if they were plastic dolls or something. He wasn’t sure he liked it.
He snuggled back into her, ducking under one of her arms and wrapping both of his around her.
“What’re we watching?” He asked, his eyes glued to the screen.
She smiled, “I’m watching Barbie Nutcracker.” There was a bit of pause where she shifted to get more comfortable before continuing, “I always watch it at least once around this time of year. To satisfy my younger self.”
He didn’t know what to say to that, having no idea what a Barbie was, so all he did was nod in agreement. Together, they hunkered down and finished the entire film, Fred weirdly fascinated with the storyline. He recognized a few tidbits from wizarding traditions, but so much had been dumbed down by, or even for, muggles. He wondered if this was the only version there was out there or if they had multiple ones.
It didn’t take long for the movie to end, and he found himself wanting to ask her a thousand questions, but as the credits rolled up the screen, she shuffled out from under him. He pouted at the loss of her warmth, but when she bent to pick up her mug, he understood.
She walked around the coffee table, calling over her shoulder, “Do you want a hot chocolate?”
He watched her as she went, wondering again how he managed to get her to give him any time of day. Instead of spending too much time stuck on the how, he focused on the now.
“Yes, please, my dear.” He shouted out to her.
He heard her tinkling laughter at his response before there was the sound of her moving about her minuscule kitchen. He continued to stare at the direction she’d gone in, resolving to figure out a way in how to announce his truth. He wondered if he could apparate quickly over to Granger’s flat and get her opinion on the matter, but he figured that was stomping over boundaries and chose not to do it that way. Or perhaps a Patronus to his twin and give him a double surprise.
Letting out an aggravated groan, he stood up and wiped his suddenly clammy hands down his jeans. Why couldn’t this be any easier? He strolled around the sofa to pick up his effects and hang them up properly. As he was walking over to the coat rack, he dropped a mitten, and as he bent to pick it up, a small WWW box fell out of his pocket. He eyed it warily, knowing he hadn’t put it there, and before he could figure out who or what it was, it was exploding into the room around him.
There was a loud bang as their signature product burst to life in her tiny living room. He heard the clank of cups onto the counter and heard her footsteps as they came running. He swallowed, panicking and tried to yell for her to stay put, but it was too late. She was standing in the entryway of her kitchen, staring directly at him and the Weasley’s Wizard Wheezes fireworks popping off around him.
He glanced over at her sheepishly. This was quite a stitch and one he was completely inept at talking himself out of. How did he explain magic to a muggle?
“Oh, Merlin,” She whispered, more to herself than anyone.
Fred floundered for an explanation, but once he registered her exclamation, he stopped.
“You’re a – are you a witch?” He blurted out.
She licked her lips, staring at the bright W now illuminating her entire flat.
“Are you one of the Weasley twins?” She countered.
They both stared at each other, astonished at the turn of events. Then simultaneously, they registered the other’s question and answered at the same time.
“Yes.”
“Merlin.”
Then they both dissolved into shocked laughter. She leaned heavily on the wall behind her before sinking down to the floor, giggles continuing to fall out, to the point that she was wiping tears from her eyes. Fred followed suit, finding himself sitting cross-legged in the middle of her living room. With a quick wave of his hand, he snuffed out the fireworks and left them sitting there with nothing but the smell of gunpowder and fresh hot chocolate between them.
“You lied!” She exclaimed, pointing a finger over at him, “You told me your last name was Weekes!”
His mouth fell open at the accusation, and he tried to feel ashamed, but he was in the same boat as her.
He pointed back, “You lied to me too! You let me think you were a muggle this whole time!”
She laughed incredulously, “Only because I thought you were one!”
“We’re a right pair, aren’t we?” He shook his head, running a hand through his hair.
A long moment passed where neither one said anything. They were both processing the events that had transpired. Then Fred looked up and regarded her questioningly.
“Do you really live here?” He asked.
She grinned and let out a huff, “Yes, I prefer it.”
Then he had another thought, “How come you didn’t recognize me?”
“I had my suspicions at the beginning, but after a while and all the hints I kept dropping, I figured I was making a baseless assumption on the red hair.” She shrugged.
He let out a loud guffaw, “I wish George were here to see this. He’d be in stitches over all of this.”
She smiled over at him, realizing belatedly that she’d been dating one of the most eligible bachelors this side of the Atlantic. She blinked a few times, the shock of that setting in. She wondered if she should mention it, but he didn’t seem phased by it when he thought she was a muggle, so maybe it wasn’t worth worrying about.
“So, where do we go from here?” She finally asked.
He gave her a wicked grin, “You wanna see the shop after hours?”
She raised her eyebrows, “Really?”
“Yeah, I happen to know the bloke who runs the place,” He nodded conspiratorially.
She let out an amused and slightly exasperated sigh, his classic mischievousness and devilish personality connecting a lot of dots. She nodded at him before crawling over the short distance between them and taking his face in her hands. She kissed him soundly, rendering him speechless.
“No more secrets.” She murmured, and he nodded in full agreement.

Getting inside the groove
This a fic that I wrote for @warriorteam1924 . She loves Hot Space and she's a bassist, so I tried to write how I imagine it was some of the creative process of Cool Cat. <3 I hope not only Katie, but also all of you can enjoy this little fic I wrote. Be aware that it could have grammar/syntax errors because English isn't my first language.
Also you can notice a little reference of a real audio of them in studio, I hope you can find it! ;)
This fic features John and Freddie in Musicland Studios, special participation of Reinhold Mack and the rest of the boys.
Word count: 1080.
Warnings: no one, this is soft.
Taglist: Katie, @toomuchlove-willkillyou @deakysgurl @0-primejive-0
1981. John was there, recording an album with he was not pleased of, but he was a damn professional and did his job smoothly. Until it was the time when he wanted to show to Freddie something. That idea was an idea which he wasn’t pleased completely and it wasn’t finished, but perhaps his dear bandmate could help in that process. Another time his doubts were revisiting his mind and also the “I’m not capable to do it”, “I’m not capable at all!” or “This isn’t my fucking gift!” were present, trying to low his mood.
John and Freddie were alone in Musicland Studios, or at least in the recording place itself. John was reading and re-reading the sheet of paper in the controls room, trying to complete by himself before to show it. He sighed frustrated.
“It’s better of this way” he thought, contemplating the paper with incomplete lyrics. He approached to Freddie, that was smoking a cigarette next to him.
-Freddie, I have an idea for a song… well…
The singer saw his friend’s face and could decode what he tried to say.
-I got it, honey -Freddie said, watching to his friend’s eyes.- Show me what you got, please.
John extended the sheet of paper with the unfinished lyrics of a song.
-It’s unfinished… it’s what I wanted to say to you before -John said, meanwhile his friend was inspecting the piece of paper.
-As I imagined -Freddie replied, raising his sight to his friend’s eyes- Isn’t a problem that I couldn’t resolve, darling- He stood up of his chair, turned off his cigarette, and he started to looking for a pencil.
John couldn’t help, but smile relieved.
-You have something really good actually! -Freddie exclaimed, emphasizing the word “really”, when he finally found a pencil.
John’s smile was bigger and his cheeks flushed. His eye wrinkles were emphasizing the brightness of his smile.
-You know that’s not my gift, Fred -John said, still smiling.
-Bollocks, your process it’s just slower, that’s all! Plus you cannot say that isn’t your gift after a success like Another One Bites the Dust ! That was a song by you, and you know how much we needed to convince to the other two because it wasn’t very rock-ish. -Freddie said, now sitting in a couch near of the coffee table of the room.
Lots of mixed memories popped up in John’s mind from that time, but overall he continued smiling because his friend accepted to help him. John sat next to Freddie to contemplate him filling the gaps, scratching and writing again, to stop to think and analyze about which words would fit better.
After some minutes of respectful silence, John broke it.
-I have a bassline if you’re interested.
-I’m eager to know how this sounds -Freddie replied, standing up of the couch, emphasizing the word “eager”.
Both gone to the recording area with the paper and the pencil. John was way more motivated with his new song.
John was sat with his bass, Freddie stayed stood up in front of his friend.
-Well, I thought this like the main bassline of the song… -and John proceeded to play the main bassline of his new song.
Freddie couldn’t help it but start to sing the song, reading the lyrics from the sheet of paper.
-"You’re taking all the suuunshine away…"- Freddie sung, but he stopped suddenly- Am I singing this like you imagined?
John stopped to play.
-Yes Freddie -John replied, smiling- a bit higher would be nice, but... I don’t know if your vocal range can reach that note now that you smoke.
-Remember that I can use falsetto.
John opened his gray eyes surprised, intrigued to listen more Freddie in falsetto. He listened to him doing falsetto in The Kiss recently, but not in a song by him. John always told that Freddie was his voice, so he was excited to listen “his” voice in his new song.
-Let’s start again, but full falsetto, yes?
-Yes!
John started to play the bass.
-Now! -John said softly, some seconds later.
-"You're taking all the sunshine away, making out like you're the main line… I knew that".
John smiled a lot.
-“‘Cause you’re a cool cat, taping on the toe with a new hat… Oh, just cruising, driving along like the swing king… feeling the beating of my heart…”
John cannot feel better. Joy flowed through his veins and his face irradiated joy. Freddie could see this reaction and he continued and continued singing the song, despite it wasn’t finished. Both gone with the flow.
“And you really get inside the move”. John made a slide in his bass. “And you really…” John made a little arrangement. “...get inside the groove”. Another arrangement. Those little arrangements weren’t on his John’s mind before, he created them in the precise moment that Freddie sung the song.
Freddie just opened his eyes wider. His friend never stopped to amaze him with his talent.
They ended the session, the first version of the song has born.
-How was that?
-Oh, it was lovely!! Wonderful!!
John cannot help but smile wider.
-Thanks Freddie -
-Your idea of sing it in falsetto it was really good. It fits with the song, by the way. Believe a bit more in yourself, John -Freddie said, putting his hand in the right shoulder of John and watching directly to his friend's eyes.
-Okie… by the way, the song has born playing the guitar some days ago…
-I wanna listen you in the guitar too! -Freddie exclaimed.
John smiled and left his bass, to go where it was laying his Telecaster and play along with Freddie.
At the middle of that jam, where Freddie was trying to play with the piano the same chords as John in his guitar, his friends and the producer came back from the near bar and they watched to John and Freddie having fun. They left to the duo to end their moment.
-Do you wanna talk more about that song? Sounds so nice John, so you. It was another song from you? -Mack asked, since the opened door of the control room.
-Yes -John and Freddie replied at the same time.
-Well… Freddie and mine. Freddie helped me- John confessed.
-The main credits goes to him.
-But you also helped me and added the piano! -John added.
Mack and the guys couldn’t help but smile because of this moment. That friendship, perhaps it was just “work” friendship, but it was pure and genuine, and that what it worth it.
------------
If you really enjoyed this, please like, comment and reblog please! That helps me a lot!

Do you have a list anywhere of your favorite hs fics?
I suppose it’s appropriate I make one now! will prolly come back to add on at some point, but as it stands
HERE’S THE FIC RECS: (it is quite long, click the readmore)
Last updated Sept 10 2021 !
Perpetuity => https://archiveofourown.org/works/12835047
Written pre-epilogues, largely about mending damaged bridges after the game. I always mention this fic as what settled me back into hs as a fandom and dirk/jake
A Palate Cleanser => https://archiveofourown.org/works/21642637
The jake eulogy we missed on candy. it’s real good. (now with a podfic version on the second chapter!!!!)
It’s only a canvas sky
==> https://archiveofourown.org/works/28718544
Their guardians dead at the hands of the Condesce, growing up in the shadow of her slow takeover of the Skaian Federation, Dirk Strider and Jake English have spent their whole lives alone up until shortly before their twelfth birthdays.
Or: Dirk fixes a transmitter, makes a friend, builds a robot, and tries to communicate affection over distance to the barest possible minimum.
(A good mix of fluff/angst/yearning, captures early & friendship dirkjake REALLY well, a good analogue au to their canon upbringing!!)
Sburgatoria => https://archiveofourown.org/works/20726822/chapters/49242167
What if we were four lesbians stuck in an uncanny valley real housewives purgatory-esque-suburbia and we bickered then kissed 😳
Prologos
https://archiveofourown.org/works/23961157
“Sadstuck for the discerning jakeliker”
Magnesium Ion, Porphyrin Ring => https://archiveofourown.org/works/21787465/chapters/51988876
Jade + Jake exploration throughout their growing up years, the relationship they had to their guardians and to one another between split realities and time.
I Know What You Think Of Me => https://archiveofourown.org/works/21516589
You never knew you wanted vriska and jake to be friends but now…. you do! and they’re going to gut a mountain of salmon to get there. Hilariously masterful vrisrezi to boot.
What Happens In-Between =>
https://archiveofourown.org/works/24240424/chapters/58409713
i KNOW you aren’t done with jaded fisheries observer vriska just yet and for that i’m thankful to say, we have a sequel, and dirk is in it to her great annoyance
Drive it home with one headlight => https://archiveofourown.org/works/19281412/chapters/45856705
The Hitchhikers Guide to Your Ex-Boyfriend ==>
https://archiveofourown.org/works/25747519/chapters/62875855
EXTENSIVELY ILLUSTRATED!!!! Post-canon fanadventure focusing on jake, brain ghost dirk, and a very concerned third party inhabiting jake’s brain that isn’t all too happy with the current turn of dubiously canon events. Still updating, very fun and smart.
The Four Kings, the God Thief, and the Black Diamond Pirates =>
https://archiveofourown.org/works/17886581/chapters/42220607
DIRK AND VRISKA. PIRACY. SONG. HOES (JAKE)
Sea shanties for Thots (Four kings sequel) =>
https://archiveofourown.org/works/22210135/chapters/53028541
jake needs to adjust to his new life and occupation overseas, ft; more songs, more piracy, and schrodinger’s hoe. Extensively jake-introspective, told through his POV.
Song of the Pyre =>
https://archiveofourown.org/works/10875459/chapters/24161439
EPIC SCALE vrisrezi space opera ft. hardass legislacerator Terezi & outlaw Vriska being forced to work together after they sort-of-accidentally kill terezi’s shitty clown ex. Feelings are caught, trials are held, there’s a revolution coming. Delightfully written. Reads as pretty solid and complete despite the 19/21 chapters done - ACT 1 counts as a book of its own, ACT 2 is solid.
Pilot Light, Pale rapture (full series) => https://archiveofourown.org/series/1403233
“They want you on Olympus, they want you on a faraway star watching the planet turn benignly. They want the original Gods in the four corners of the earth, protectors in an invisible palace. “And the Witch sat vigil in her southern eastmost realm, looking down upon her descendants,” they’d say, “and saw that it was good.
You do not have an Olympus. You have a house that smells like burnt toast, because Davepeta did just that only an hour ago.”
Prospit kids + Really Good and Fun earth C shenanigans ensue. Incredible insightful exploration on Jade, her childhood, and mostly what happens after the curtains close and she finally has time to be awake.
After Meat, Aftermath. (full series) => https://archiveofourown.org/series/1420354
In one universe, college!au Rose lalonde takes barre classes. In another, arguably more relevant one, Rosebot peers into her life. this will lead to inevitable chaos. incredible rose + kanaya + vriska + jake + dirk focus and one of my fav AU’s.
*below are my favorite dirk-focused works:*
Detective Pony
https://archiveofourown.org/works/2427119/chapters/5371283
At first I didn’t include this one, having taken for granted that everyone had read it already, but I think as of ‘21 the fandom is a bit different and not many have. Facts being: this is the definitive solo Dirk Strider story; seamless with the detective pony book dirk edits in homestuck-proper, deeply indulgent, funny, and cathartic, one might even say. Also an audiobook and a webseries, if that’s more up to your speed!
A Eulogy for Laplace’s Demon (After Meat, Aftermath spinoff) =>
https://archiveofourown.org/works/20047735/chapters/47475769
A good jump-in point for AM,A but hugely more focused on dirk arguing with his own demons. Doesn’t pull any punches.
Dualshock Desertbloom =>
https://archiveofourown.org/works/18428552/chapters/43651733
Dirk wakes up in a scalding liminal space and splinters his beta self out of his body like an amoeba parting in two. It’s a Predicament. They have to learn how to cohabitate if they want to try to figure out what the fuck is going on, and Dirk can’t help but prod and poke around to learn more about his twisted-funhouse-mirror-self along the way. Really meaty character-study, some of my favorite dirkvoice (and brovoice) passages are definitely all over here.
House of Dirk => https://archiveofourown.org/works/19156126/cha pters/45530146
dirk and caliborn, in a sitcom, holding hands. nothing bad could ever possibly happen
Timaeus, Testified. => https://archiveofourown.org/works/19479223/chapters/46368625
“go crazy go stupid!!!!!!” - dirk strider, metamonster
*Fun / short / thoughtful stories:*
Two idiots at Homoville, N69, TX
==> https://archiveofourown.org/works/26130925
Dirk freaks out and goes on r/relationships to try and figure out how to mend the semi-relationship he has with his weird roommate. (hint: his name starts with J)
Light Without Effulgence
==> https://archiveofourown.org/works/25986289
Rose is having a writer’s block. Jake is bored in the middle of his family’s own vacation. They sit down to mercilessly pick at each other’s brains, and the results may surprise you (not clickbait)
Interrogating the text from the wrong perspective => https://archiveofourown.org/works/615521
(Calliope and Rose have fandom wars. Its really funny)
Witching Hour => https://archiveofourown.org/works/12620732
Eschewal => https://archiveofourown.org/works/4284384
jake goes ham
Dreamscapers => https://archiveofourown.org/works/22455073/chapters/53653849
Stygian blue =>
https://archiveofourown.org/works/23946412/chapters/57588850
Terezi and brain ghost Vriska have a conversation. (illustrated!!!)
Bitter =>
https://archiveofourown.org/works/30871334
Jaw-dropping JadeRose comic oneshot; meta, jealousy, crushes, and girls being a little off.
*FANADVENTURE CORNER:*
CHOICELESS HOPE
==> https://archiveofourown.org/works/28100313/chapters/68850048#workskin
Your name is TEREZI PYROPE.
You have been searching the depths of the FURTHEST RING for CHILDHOOD BEST FRIEND, PRETEENHOOD NEMESIS, TEEN SWEETDIAMOND, and POSSIBLE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE, VRISKA SERKET, for what may or may not have been THREE MONTHS.
-
Near the start of her search for Vriska, Terezi is offered a choice.
KITTYQUEST
==> https://mspfa.com/?s=32792&p=2
Centuries in the future, the daughter of jade harley and davepeta pierces together what it is like to grow up knowing your parents and much of your extended family are immortal beings. Incredible art, lots of really really fun cameos and incredible worldbuilding (Not epilogue compliant, barely credits compliant, remains one of my favorite extended pocket universes to this day.)
FAILURE TO LAUNCH
==> https://mspfa.com/?s=34750&p=1
It’s june egbert’s first night out! From the official TV programme summary; “Starring the one and only JUNE EGBERT! Who knows what shenanigans will ensue… Wild hootenannies? Late night pizza picnics? ROMANCE??? Tune in and find out on FAILURE TO LAUNCH!” this can only ever end well, right?
THERAPYSTUCK
==> https://mspfa.com/?s=36345&p=3
That’s right, buckos. The lot of you are going to therapy. Turns out after a member of the tight-knit god community (Sollux) decides to seek a little help, more shenanigans were sure to follow.
