heya! was wondering if you have any songs you connect with john/dios apate. 💕

OH. YES. Sorry (not) to be basic, but No Children is THE Dios Apate song of all time. Here's a post about TMG lyrics that are Dios Apate core to me

Some off the top of my head: Wasteland, Baby (Hozier) / Demons (The National) / Frankenstein (Rina Sawayama) / Kiss Me Son of God (TMBG) / The Man Who Sold The World (Midge Ure version) - all of these are youtube links

If you do spotify, here are some public playlists crowdsourced from my TLT buddies

WAIT YOU READ TLT OH MY GOD???

In the process of!!! I’m a third of the way through Nona atm. I’ve had a journey with these books lmao, I was slogging through Gideon for weeks, nearly gave up on it, didn’t really click with it till the last quarter or so; Harrow I went feral over, finished it in two days; and with Nona I’m not clicking quite so much but I am curious to see where it goes.

But yeah, Harrowhark “I am a war crime” Nonagesimus has my heart. She’s the type of character that’s right up my alley, brilliant, highly driven, more or less deranged, buries her emotions so she presents as a scary stone-cold bitch but really just needs a hug. I’m completely obsessed with her.

NOT THE ETHEL CAIN LYRICS FOR PAUL OH MEIN GOTT THEY FIT SO PERFECTLY WHAT HAVE YOU DONE

broooo paul als charakter ist leider so family tree coded it does make me crazy. "the fates already fucked me sideways / swinging by my neck from the family tree" <- me when im the product of a millennium spanning breeding program that fabricated not only me but my very mythos. me when i won't ever do anything without having to wonder if my whole life is already written for me. etc

[lylahammar]

just read your tags abt being distantly related to rubens, like, that’s so cool! would you share a lil more abt this (if you’re comfortable)? anyway have a great day 🩷

I wish I could! I only know about as much as I shared 😅 my grandfather was a Finnish immigrant who was extremely secretive about his life, so after his death my mom went digging into her family tree and discovered that. But afaik it’s a very distant relation to be clear!

[kimtaegis]

your tags on my hobi painting just made my night thank you 🥹💝💝💝

oh gosh they didn’t convey in the slightest how much I love it! when I read that you literally painted it with oil (I had this phase as a teenager where I tried out all kinds of paint and oil was so intriguing yet tricky to me) I was blown away. the talent of yours shown in this single piece alone? incredible, thank you for sharing your art with us to marvel at 🫶🏻🤍

[avizou]

adddgffg thank you so much for your reblog & tags on my hobi painting 🥹💖 and you should totally try oils!

of course!! i'm always so impressed, the talent 🥺🤍 i've only ever used acrylics, oil seems so intimidating somehow 😭

[sjweminem]

YOUR TAGS ON MY KABUTO/OROCHIMARU ART JUST MADE MY DAY 😭💘💖💝🩷💞💓💕💗

YOU ARE MORE THAN DESERVING OF THEM!!!!!!!!

[perksofbeingalittletwat]

Incredible tags

I just fundamentally don't understand how John Giaus, trillionaire-hater, Maori scientist who was on Tumblr turned around and crowned himself God Emperor and immediately started colonizing the same way his own country had been. Like I understand people change/power corrupts/If All They See Is Spooky Cows Do Spooky Cows but it's such a huge turn around.

Seven sentences game / WIP Whateverday ;)

@gardensofthemoon tagged me in the general WIP game, @a-world-of-whimsy-5 and @curufiin in the seven sentences one, so here we go. Thank you all for tagging me, you're lovely 🖤

Pharazôn summoned her there, like a dog, and now she follows his call and comes to him, like a dog. Míriel rearranges her silken shawl that does little to protect her from the cold. She wraps her arms around herself as she traverses the vast hallways in measured steps. Her gaze wanders to the wide arched windows without glass that open towards a storm-grey sky painted with swiftly moving clouds over a quiet golden city. Summer has dwindled, and all joy Míriel wrested from it has withered along with its blossoms, the lushness of green meadows and scant laughter in warmly lit evenings between vineyards and her flower garden. She wants to sigh. Doesn’t, and walks, holds her head high.

8, 9, 10, 11, 13 abt John

8. Have you received anon hate? What about?

tbh quite rarely! the highlight was when I wrote a Cancellable Fic and I woke up to my email inbox full of angry comments and I made a video montage set to twenty one pilots.

Please imagine being in the despair-filled depths of the first lockdown and waking up to THIS. Priorities, folks!

(cw I guess — don't watch this if you're sensitive to fandom harassment, I'm very very over it and I make fun of it, but it's probably a bit anxiety-inducing ig)

A more recent memorable one was a long rant about Alecto that I don't really remember in full but said something like "I bet you're one of those people who gets off to Joss Whedon's sad barefoot beaten-up women"

9. Most disliked character(s)? Why?

If we're talking TLT... this is sooooo hard but I'm gonna have to say Palamedes. Because he's a reasonably popular character that I mostly vibe with in specific ways, so when I check out Pal fics I never know if I'm going to love them or backclick right out.

10. Most disliked arc? Why?

The Study of Doctor Sex because it's my least favourite of the short stories (& also I think the Sixth come out looking creepier than most of the fandom thinks)

11. Is there an unpopular character you like that the fandom doesn’t? Why?

IDK who counts as unpopular in my little lyctorfucking cave, so I'm gonna go with Silas. Teenage Pope! He never had a chance! He is THE ONLY person in the Canaan House group who looked at the Lyctoral process and said, undoubtedly and without even thinking about it "If God asked me to I'd say sorry God you're wrong." Can't wait for him to get back in AtN

13. Unpopular opinion about [John]?

This post I reblogged this morning says it better than I could, but in general I think fandom analysis doesn't engage enough with his identity as an indigenous man. I do have others :D but this is the most niche I think!

[salty asks list]

[thecoolblackwaves]

@lvsifer okay I watched it tonight!!! Woo man it was good. The sound track was minimal which I actually quite enjoyed, it let the quiet moments be quiet and the battles take place with all the sounds instead of covering it with music. I feel like that fit the tone of the movie well, made things feel more visceral, so I enjoyed that choice. I 100% see why you've been lusting for the scary bald nephew 😂 he was so hot! Very bloody and intense. His fight seen with Paul was so good (and another moment where they just kept the actual noise and no music which made it quite umm erotic). Also the costumes were great really enjoyed them. I highly recommend the movie! I did hear that certain choices were made that differ somewhat from the books towards the end but as I haven't yet read them (planning to now) I couldn't tell you what they all were or how significant it was.

Did you just watch Dune? I JUST WATCHED DUNE! ARE YOU STALKING ME?!?!? (jkjkkk)

I HAVE NOT WATCHED IT YET. I actually haven’t even finished the first one yet (only read the books) but hope I can watch both in around 2 weeks if it’s still in cinema then BUT the bald freak has got me twirling my hair (I too am bald) and kicking my legs.

WAS IT GOOD?

[crackinthecup]

@elevenelvenswords cheers for the tag <3 <3

Make yourself in this picrew and post the last song you listened to.

[spielleute]

hope the beyond evil guys are gay. 🙏 would u recommend watching it?

hello hi PLEASE watch beyond evil i cannot recommend it enough. one of the most well-made shows i've watched in recent memory in that every single aspect of it fucking rules like soundtrack rules narrative rules shot composition rules characters arcs rule mystery rules acting rules. genuinely tv at its finest and that's not even mentioning the fact that the main guys are gay . & well if we're getting into the fact that the main guys are gay. i honestly cannot even begin to describe the sheer insanity of their relationship progression. the obsession the mutual respect the mutual distrust the homoerotic mind games the devotion the sacrifice the whatever souls are made of his and mine are the same of it all. they could've had gay sex 50 times per episode & it would've been less gay that whatever the fuck we ended up with. this is where i have to disclose that they're not "canonically" gay in the sense that they do not kiss each other on the lips but their relationship is so clearly the heart of the show like [fleabag voice] this is a love story. please watch beyond evil everyone reading this youwant to watch beyond evil you want to watch beyond evil so bad.

[theskeletonprior]

I was tagged by @lvsifer to share the last seven lines of my WIP. You can see their very nifty excerpt here. Here's mine.

Ravenot opened the crucible, insensible to its heat, and strewed what looked like jet black sand over the coals. It sighed as it ignited, glowing almost instantly, flowing over them like molten glass. Ravenot closed the crucible, taking up the censer by its chain, and stood over the Summer Lord and his subject. "Though you are scarcely Risen," they said, "and you can breathe no longer, I bid you remember. Though you are Risen, and you walk toward the end of the path, I bid you look back. Look towards the fork in the road, where it split thee like a reed on a knife-edge. Remember the breath that was stol'n away. Tell me of the thief."

I'm tagging @alexanderflowerbird @void-botanist @ceph-the-ghost-writer @thatndginger @sunset-a-story and anyone else who sees this and would like to participate. Feel free to complete the prompt and tag me!

Last Line Tag

Rules: show the last line you wrote and tag as many people as there are words.

Thank you @hogans-heroes for the tag!! (I cheated a bit because the last part of this was kinda insane out of context, not much better in context but still)

“Hey, this place belonged to my dead grandmother, have some respect,” said Bucky as he popped the thinner end between his lips and fished a lighter out of his dressing-gown pocket. It was sunshine yellow and featured a scuffed up picture of a busty girl in a bikini below the text“I <3 LA”. “Yeah, yeah, we all got dead grandmas, that don’t make you special,” said Curt with a roll of his eyes.

I will not tag that many people lol, I will just go with @lvsifer, @fersrsbizniz @weimarweekly @steeseman and @vampireghostlawyer !!
