"There's gardens here." Stolas was amazed. "I love gardens. Will give me ideas of flowers to buy." He can finally get back to it without Stella looking down on him for it.

Sat on the roof, you and I // And at every table I'll save you a seat // Sit with you in the trenches // Now I just sit in the dark and wonder if it's time //

I'm searching the room for an empty seat // I’m sitting here thinking it through // Sitting eyes wide open behind these four walls, hoping you’ll call

cornelia st//lover//peace//youre losing me

the story of us // cold as you // I dont wanna live forever

as a followup i wanna say that i think her artistry shines through best when you don't immediately know who or what a song is about

the best way to listen to taylor's music is to ignore everything you know about her personal life

Stephanos couldn't watch this any longer. It didn't matter what they told of him. It didn't matter what road they'd paved for him. He would not keep letting people die for him.

"Enough! Pe - Perah I said stop!"

He moved stepping between Cornelia and his tutor. He knew the duty he had to his people. He knew it was on him to call their Gaurdians. He knew with his blood it would be his power that could do it.

The Asteri needed them and they would not die here. Still wasn't he allowed to be a child at least some of the time?

He looked to Connie, fingers on her wrist.

"You're hurt. Let me call a medic and -"

//The wars and the moving sundered the Stelari from the Asteri they are meant and sworn to serve???//

Stop. Why did he yell stop? Why did he get involved? Her heart hammered, her blood thundering within her ears as she couldn't help but just sink further into herself. The sudden silence, the lack of pain, of being pushed.

Cornelia's eyes only rose when she felt his fingers upon her wrist, she swallowed as she shook her head and tried to pull away.

"No, no. I am okay. It will heal." She tried to dissuade him. Yet something told her to let him care, to let him do as he asked.

Say her name Taylor Swift- say her name

There’s only one muse’s name NYC has ever screamed and her name is Karlie Kloss.

philm club rewatch #1

phil 7/21/12

detailed timestamp notes below the cut but my overall summary thoughts are

you could tell phil was still getting into the groove of liveshows so it's a little awkward and slow going in the first 15 minutes are so with lots of shoutouts and showing the camera random things. liveshows got sooo much better after just a year or so it's fascinating to watch them getting comfortable

mind boggling to think back to a time they were willing to show up to fan meetups and then made a point to state publicly why they weren't there AND share their location so openly constantly (obviously they were about to move but STILL they showed the outside of their flat So Much back then)

the juxtaposition of how naturally comfortable they were with each other (stealing hats, sharing food, having their little jokes and songs) vs. them remembering the chat and having to recalibrate (i don't want to procreate with you)

i'm gonna be sooooo real i still spent the entire hour kicking my legs and twirling my hair and having to pause to compose myself because that's my phil like that was my guy and it brought back all those giddy feelings :3

i love them both so dearly and i love that era despite the bad rep it gets in fandom now because it was also so exciting and new but they were growing up together and taking on the world like 2012 WAS dnp vs. the world and dnp won <3333

0:28- agrees to marry a girl and a boy

1:38- final broadcast from manchester!! moving to london

2:40- stressed bc logistics for moving (he’s trying to be a grown up). interesting that he is taking the reigns on coordinating and not dan 

6:27- PIGEON NOISE MY BELOVED

8:50- phil refers to processed ingredients as “skanky stuff”. sure. 

11:59- he's gonna put lion in his backpack during the move 😭😭 he doesn’t want to lose him

15:01- dan jumpscare popping into defending phil for not showing up to a meet up 

16:21- dan gives him an A star….girl

21:30- american phil i haaaaate it i hate it i hate it

21:57- “everyone just says awkward for everything now” okay this but now everyone says “help??” in the replies of every tweet WHAT DOES IT MEAN???

22:35- cornelia playing harpsichord at phil’s parents 

24:42- phil attempts a guest broadcast with a fan and he’s being so cute despite the horrors

28:42- they’re going to see muse again 😭😭 

30ish- fanfiction segment i love his brain

33:55- dan gets caught playing gw2 and not packing asdfghjl. omg their apartment is a mess they stress me out 

34:39- the way they used to show off their exact locations was truly a time like girl internet safety!!

35:21- he still wants to call his children jack and emily (cuts quickly to mo and slyvester lester joke and i won’t think too hard about what that means with this also being the era of dan being SO deadset on having 2 or 3 children like god they were just babies with dreams)

37:14- phil thinks max the guest is australian and has The Biggest Grin phil you slag ilysm and now he’s promoting him hard lmao

39:57- drawing game. he went too fast i couldn’t keep up so i stopped. unfortunate slur from the chat. 

44:38- had to check his tumblr archive to see the kstew gif he mentioned and found a mv a fan did of the manchester flat to i will always love you phil reblogged (phannies never change)

45:27- sneak peak of the “new” apartment WHAT IF I SOBBED!!!! the first london flat…god they had no idea what’s coming and all the things that will happen in that house ;___; living with danisnotonfire who is through that wall and Not Packing (married babies)

46:24- NEW I LOVE YOU FOR THE ILY SPREASHEET FUCK YEAH!!!

46:41- he’s getting a bit annoyed at the go get dan comments and it’s such a specific shift in vibes which makes sense because this was younow and god knows what that chat was also saying 

48:57- omg it’s danisnotonfire! what are you doing here get out of my house (you’re the same person dot gif) also sooo funny they already had their sides™️

50:36- that iconic dan hair push up and swoop is simultaneously the most comforting/nostalgic and single most anxiety inducing motion of all time

52ish- they’re sooo low energy in this one but it’s still comforting 

53:35- these two…

57:52- phil putting things on dans head because of course he does and taking dans thing because of course he does

58:00- i am not immune to phil in the trapper hat. 

58:24- them seeing all the screenshots and immediately making jokes (fun little note for those who don’t know is younow would have a pop up everytime someone took a snapshot so they knew every time they were being archived which had to have been a specific kind of hell and also what a shit feature??) their skin molecules are touching 

1:01:48- quite possibly the single most controversial shirt dan has ever owned. people haaaatedddd it for years (now im just soft bc its nostalgic)

1:04:06- dan and alexander mcqueen 4ever truly lmao also phil immediately having an opinion on the one he liked dan in better 

1:04:44- "dan played it on repeat all yesterday" “whenever i get sad i listen to it” :(( dan

1:05:15- dans fashion opinions haven’t changed and also the start of them being So conscious of revealing what they spend their money on because fans “didn’t like” when they spent a lot of money on things

1:05:46- we made it an hour before they read a gay comment but he’s handling it better than usual. phil saying “ don’t go there”

1:08:05- dan is STILL yapping about the hat god i love him he simply must elucidate 

1:09:29- aweeee a fanboy <333 he’s their love child (except dan reminds phil they’re not down to procreate with each other)

1:10:24- i love that phil has always thrown a random question at people to ease the tension like it’s suuuch a phil thing to ask what your worst fear is when you’re feeling awkward 

[torturedheart]

“Some people see someone and assume they’ll want to hear every single problem they have.” Daniel shakes his head “There’s some problems I wouldn’t share with my closest friends, let alone some random stranger.”

"It can become rather overwhelming when just about anyone walks up to you wanting to vent. Nothing wrong with having boundaries" she said and shrugged. "I also have never really understood how people can be so comfortable with sharing things with people they hardly know"

[chaosandcrimson]

Drowning in the Blue Nile He sent me 'Downtown Lights' I hadn't heard it in a while My boredom's bone deep This cage was once just fine Am I allowed to cry? I dream of cracking locks Throwing my life to the wolves Or the ocean rocks Crashing into him tonight He's a paradox I'm seeing visions, am I bad? Or mad? Or wise? What if he's written 'mine' on my upper thigh Only in my mind? One slip and falling back into the hedge maze Oh, what a way to die I keep recalling things we never did Messy top lip kiss, how I long for our trysts Without ever touching his skin How can I be guilty as sin? I keep these longings locked In lowercase inside a vault Someone told me There's no such thing as bad thoughts Only your actions talk These fatal fantasies Giving way to labored breath Taking all of me We've already done it in my head If it's make believe Why does it feel like a vow We'll both uphold somehow? What if he's written 'mine' on my upper thigh Only in my mind? One slip and falling back into the hedge maze Oh, what a way to die My bedsheets are ablaze, I've screamed his name Building up like waves crashing over my grave Without ever touching his skin How can I be guilty as sin? What if I roll the stone away? They're gonna crucify me anyway What if the way you hold me is actually what's holy? If long suffering propriety is what they want from me They don't know how you've haunted me so stunningly I choose you and me religiously

Baymax was pulling everything out of his backpack, from a first aid kit to epi-pens and candy until he found a pen. "Ah here is the pen. . .oh dear; They left." Guess they took too long to retrieve the pen. "How sad . . ."

Hey for your jily muse, out of order <3

Okay this is unforgivable, I know. You sent this prompt over two months ago. TWO. This ask has been sitting in my inbox since the 18th of January, so you probably won't even remember sending this but I promise you I've been thinking about it constantly and waiting to have free time to work on it and I have this tendency to leave things unfinished so this is me working through that as well lol

Without further ado, here it is ❤️

Out of Order - 744 words

Evans is in the boys' bathroom. She's in the boys' bathroom and she's crying.

One of her hands is gripping the sink, while the other fruitlessly wipes the tears that keep escaping.

She hasn't noticed his arrival, and Sirius doesn't bother clearing his throat. “I'm sure there's a perfectly logical reason for this.”

She makes a startled noise and turns to face him, her expression a mixture of anger and sadness. It's comical, really, so Sirius laughs.

“There is,” she mutters as she wipes her nose with the sleeve of her jumper. Her voice lacks the edge she usually aims at him— and at James, too, though Sirius can't help but notice a slight difference there.

He walks towards her and hands her his monogrammed tissue - he's never used it for this purpose specifically, but it has proved to be useful during the occasional prank or after a rough full moon - which she grabs immediately. She doesn't thank him, but he doesn't expect her to.

“Ah well, that's all I needed to know. It's not like you're invading my personal space or something.”

She lifts an eyebrow and eyes him curiously, looking more like her usual self. “I'm sorry, is there a plaque or an inscription that I haven't noticed? Does House Black monogram bathrooms as well as tissues?”

“Not that I'm aware of, no. Don't give my mother ideas, though, she might actually try to do that.”

She makes an attempt at a smile, but it quickly turns into a quiet sob.

“Apparently there can only be one crying girl per bathroom, and Myrtle has claimed the one across the corridor as hers so it's out of order,” she explains as she tries to regain control of her emotions, “and I thought this one was empty since everyone is heading down to watch the match.”

“You were right... for the most part. Why aren't you going then?”

“No reason,” she replies, her voice even, but she's not looking at him.

Sirius thinks he knows why. He suspects it has to do with the good luck kiss that Cornelia Kettleburn gave James at breakfast and how quickly Lily disappeared after that.

“Cool. I'm not going either. Fancy going to the Astronomy tower for a smoke?”

She looks taken aback. “I— wait, why aren't you going?”

In truth Sirius wants to go, and James is going to kill him for this, but lately he's been claiming that he no longer has feelings for Lily, and Sirius hates being lied to, so technically this is just payback.

“James got on my nerves so I'm skipping the match in protest,” he adds with a shrug and it's the truth, because it wouldn't be fair to lie. “So, are we smoking or not? Got a fag I can borrow?”

She's not an idiot: she knows this is an olive branch of sorts. Sirius can tell she's deciding whether to believe him or not; after a moment she sighs, and Sirius knows he's won.

“Haven't you got your own? Merlin, you're cheap,” she says while producing a pack of cigarettes from her satchel and handing it to him, a smirk on her face. He's glad to see that she seems to have calmed down significantly.

“I'm trying to quit so I stopped carrying them around,” he replies and grabs one, putting it in the breast pocket of his vest.

“Looks like it's working,” she notes as she fixes her appearance in front of the mirror and readies herself to leave the room.

“Absolutely.”

“Why are you mad at Potter anyway? Thought you two were inseparable,” she asks as she walks towards the door, a step ahead of him so that he can't see her face.

“Can't tell you, it's a secret.”

She huffs. “You lot are starting to sound ridiculous with all these secrets,” she whips her head towards him, her disapproval clear on her face, though he's almost certain this is just another way of disguising her curiosity. “Is this little group of yours a cult or something?”

“It's a counterculture,” he explains as he exits the bathroom, “how else are we going to beat those bigoted dickheads? The only way to fight a cult is with another cult.”

He's just joking, but the idea doesn't sound half bad to his ears.

Apparently Lily disagrees, because she snorts. Loudly. “Not sure about that logic but you do you, I guess.”

“Thanks for the support.”

“Anytime, Black.”

[torturedheart]

Daniel looks up at the sounds of shouting, shaking his head in disbelief over the disagreement. He carefully leans over when a woman speaks to him “Something about their pastry not being hot enough…stupid things to get in a fuss over is all.”

The way DC could be one of the most hectic yet peaceful places if you knew where to look. That’s where Daniel had found himself, a quiet coffee shop on a corner where he could sit and watch the people moving about in peace. A cup of coffee in his hands, his cane resting against the seat on the table he currently preoccupied. And everything seemed all right, nothing could bother him in this moment.

I can totally see imgonnagetyouback and the bolter being two sides of a pattern she undoubtly has had her entire dating life. Thinking about it. Denying both Matty and Joe another song but it's feels right. I shall accept 'pattern' as a way of tagging her songs into my system of tagging the songs too.

ooh i do like imgonnagetyouback as an exploration of a pattern, but ultimately i find it too detailed? or detailed in like. like there's a tone in the details that makes me lean towards a literal interpretation.

the bolter though i think is 100% a pattern, and i also see it as an answer to the archer in a lot of ways. something i've found very interesting in her love songs throughout her relationship with joe is a switch from begging her muse not to leave her to begging her muse not to let her leave. and in a lot of ways we've seen that since speak now, but i think it really kicks into high gear during lover-- the archer, cornelia street, me!, afterglow, and daylight all really position her as the one who's due to run at any moment, and then that pattern continues through folkmore and midnights-- midnight rain and the great war are two other excellent examples. and i think that anxiety stems from the way she would leave men during the 1989 era (matty being one of them), and the more she got anxious over doing the same thing to joe, the more the retroactive guilt intensified, and we see that on chloe or sam. so the bolter is a massive exhale on all that self-punishment and agonizing that fueled a lot of way she stayed with joe and got back together with matty, and is ultimately forgiving herself for a pattern of behavior that stretches beyond either them
