I read once that people should find wine recommendations by looking at prominent sommeliers who already like profiles you like, not because they're objectively correct at wine, but their tastes align with yours and they will likely speak to other wines you would like. I just listened to Tarot Sport by Fuck Buttons because you mentioned it and I really like it, do you have any other music recs in general

oh man this is the nicest compliment ive gotten on my musical taste in a minute! if you like the polyrhythmic aspect of Fuck Buttons where they layer sounds on top of each other until it sound like white noise but if you listen from the beginning with headphones you can still pick out every individual layer, check out Lauren Bousfield. her entire discography is good but Avalon Vales and Palimpsest are my personal favs. if you really like those and need more you can check out some of her earlier work under Nero's Day At Disneyland, specifically From Rotting Fantasylands

if you like having Fuck Buttons on in the background as study music, start looking into old Boiler Room sets on Soundcloud. these don't inherently have much in common other than being good background music but you asked me for recs in general so here are some of my fav sets:

Baauer B2B RL Grime at Ray-Ban x Boiler Room SXSW (warning: this set has the best music but also worst hype woman of all time)

Bonobo Boiler Room DJ Mix (this one was playing as i wrote most of my essays in college)

Purity Ring 45 Minute Mix Boiler Room Montreal (please please please skip to 22 minutes in if you listen to nothing else here, that segment singlehandedly gave me so much more respect for Purity Ring than actually seeing them live in 2012 did)

XXYYXX 60 Minute Set Boiler Room Los Angeles (whole thing is good but skip to 24 minutes in lol)

okay this last one isn't Boiler Room at all but uh. umru ♭⒉♭ fraxiom at Lavapalooza is Umru and Fraxiom doing Minecraft parody covers of hyperpop songs at a concert that happened in Minecraft itself. but it's unironically kind of good at certain points if you have the same kind of brain damage i do where you enjoy Fuck Buttons

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ROGER TAYLOR

It is Roger Meddows Taylor's birthday today so of course I have to make it all of yours problems and yap about it.

We've gotta start off with how talented this man is. He is the KING of drummers in my eyes and will always be. Watched a full concert today to celebrate, and I was just focusing on how fast he could move, and he wasnt always looking at the drums. And his little solo in the Montreal concert and I was staring at him and oh my gosh he can move fast. He looked tired afterwards. And his voice is amazing in its own unique way. I love it. I love listening to live songs and looking out for his baking vocals. I died everytime. My favourite song to hear live is Crazy Little Thing Called Love just because of Roger's rEaDy FreDdIe 🤠. I die every single time I hear and go insane you don't even know. His backing vocals are just *mwah* CHEF'S kiss 🤌.

And his high pitched screaming in In the Lap of the Gods is amazing. Theres a video of Roger Taylor blessing your ears for an hour and a half and it's just him screaming in that song and it really does bless your ears.

Plus he's got solo albums. And unless I'm horribly wrong, he has the most solo albums out of the entire band. I don't have a favourite album but a couple of my fav songs are The Key, Man on Fire and Strange Frontier.

He's written lots of hits and great songs including Radio Gaga, A Kind of Magic, One Vision, These are the Days of Our Lives, The Invisible Man and of course, I'm in Love With My Car.

Then there's the underrated songs that I love like Drowse, Action This Day, Ride the Wild Wind and others that I forgot and I cant be bothered to look up.

He also studied dentistry in uni. I don't know if he would have actually ended up being a dentist if he hadn't joined. But just think if he did.

THIS MAN RIGHT HERE COULD HAVE BEEN YOUR DENTIST SHOVING HIS HANDS IN YOUR MOUTH.

I just watched a video while writing this called the genius of Roger Taylor and they talked about how good he is on drums and used drum talk that even though I play drums, I haven't been playing long enough to understand, so they go into more depth on how talented he is on the drums. Its called The Genius Of Roger Taylor by Drumeo.

And you've gotta talk about his heart warming lyrics.

"With my hand on my grease gun,

Ooooo it's like a disease son."

Magical.

And what makes that even better is that sometimes during concert he would mix the lyrics around, whether on accident or purpose, I don't know, but he would say "with YOUR hand on MY grease gun." Life changing.

But seriously you wanna know some good lyrics listen to the whole of These Are The Days of Our Lives. And then try not to cry.

Moving on from talent, we gotta talk about some more amazing things about him.

He's a funny little boy. Watch some clips of him and you'll see what I mean. I don't care if you don't agree with me, I know he's a funny little boy.

"He threw my best fucking pair of maracas. Great sounding maracas, took me HOURS to steal them, and he just..." I can't write the next part without it seeming like it's a roleplay because it's a motion he makes of throwing stuff away in the air.

Anyways, it was his idea to dress up in drag for the I Want to Break Free video and that was one of his best ideas ever. Rogerina looked amazing.

What a goddess. And when I Want to Break Free got canceled in America, he would help stand up for the video and wouldnt feel ashamed that they did it and said they had a great time and it was fun.

And somewhat similarly, but more importantly, after Freddie died, and the press were being homophobic perverts and saying stuff like Freddie had it coming, or he lived a promiscuous life style, Roger (and Brian) would go on TV and stand up for Freddie and would be like "thats not true at all, you fucking pricks." That's not what they actually said. And he would then go on about how the press were massive dicks to Freddie while trying to get into his private life especially towards the end.

Hes adorable. Sweetie. My love.

"I'd like to make it.. naked 😏, and raw."

"1 and 3/7ths sugars please." "No one and 3/7ths 😠"

"I've just written this new one, WHICH IM REALLY EXCITED ABOUT"

"ITS PERFECT"

Just some quotes there.

Also, APPARENTLY, my sources are shit, I've only heard this once, has not been backed up, but I'm including it anyways, but apparently when Roger wasn't allowed to have Stone lions out the front of his house, he thought outside the box and put up hundreds of glow and the dark gnomes.

He also apparently had to legally fight his neighbour to keep his giant statue of Freddie Mercury he had in his backyard because the neighbour APPARENTLY thought that it was "rUiNinG tHe laNdScApe"

He kissed Brian when he was drunk.

He was called sex on legs.

Grew a beard because people kept mistaking him as a girl.

His eyes.

"There was lots of sex and drugs. Actually there wasn't that much sex and ... Well there wasn't much drugs"

There's also some lovely sad stories with him. Mainly the 300 yards and I don't feel like crying again so I'm not gonna write it out.

I'm gonna stop this here because my finger feels weird from having a plaster on it for three days and I wanna focus on more Roger videos that I've been watching in the background for about an hour now. I'm just gonna say he is shemxy.

And then you've got this:

Love him. Appreciate him. I'm gonna marry him one day, mark my words.

There is a lot more on him. This is all I've got. For now.

Hey

~Hey by Pixies~

Author's Note: this is lowkey my own version of that scene between Barney and Robin in HIMYM. My fav show of all time. So enjoy this recreation of it :) The song is the song that played during that scene. As always italitcs are flashbacks Summary: Alex returns to Denver for the first time since being traded Warnings: swearing, implied smut Word Count: 1,787 Alex Newhook x fm!reader

“I can’t leave Denver, Alex,” she muttered while she wiped a tear that fell onto her cheek. She looked into his dark brown eyes, they were watery but he refused to cry. He couldn’t. It was too overwhelming and confusing. 

He was leaving the team he won the Stanley Cup with. He’s leaving his best friend, he’s leaving his girlfriend of three years. He’s leaving the town he’s fallen in love with.

The rumors of the trade were circulating the locker room, he remained optimistic that he would have a positive outcome from it. Whether that is he’s traded away to a team that treats him right or he stays in Denver. But he was in fact leaving, going to Montreal. A young team, full of potential. He was ecstatic. 

Except when Y/N heard the news she broke down. She was successful in Denver, a full-time job that would be difficult to get anywhere else.  

“But you don’t need a job, I can prov-”

“I need to be independent, Alex. I cannot imagine just following you wherever you go. Alex, I can’t follow you to Montreal,” she mumbled standing up from the couch and walking towards the front door.

“Y/N. Y/N!” he let out urgently as he followed her movements. She spun around and met his gaze. His eyes became more teary eyed. “What does that mean?” he asked in a hushed tone. 

She pressed her lips together as she dropped her gaze towards the floor. “I love you, I love you with everything that I have, Alex. But I can’t follow you to Montreal,” she muttered as she wiped another tear that fell on her cheek. “I have a life that I love in Denver. I grew up here, everything I love is here,” she explained. 

He looked into her eyes as he nodded slowly. His heart shattered in that moment. He was going to a team that cared about him, wanted him so badly. But all he cared about in that moment was that the woman he loved was not going with him. 

The season was not going as Alex expected. He was injured for the majority of it and was feeling incredibly low. The fans were overwhelmingly supportive over the whole process. He was feeling at home with his new team. He was actively taking French lessons to try and become more accustomed to Montreal. 

He was getting along great with his new teammates, he was happy. He was also happy because Y/N and him were still friends. Despite ending their relationship, they remained friends. 

At first it was awkward, only keeping their friendship over text but it was still close. Now they talk almost every day, she was his rock during his recovery. And now he was in Denver for two days. 

She was sitting on her couch, her gaze watching Alex fall into the boards hard. A gasp left her lips as she covered her mouth with her hands. He was slow to get up, but was able to get off the ice on his own. He went straight down the tunnel.

She began texting with Kailey, Bo Byram’s girlfriend and her closest friend. She was frantically typing about how nasty the injury looked on Alex. It was a long intermission, waiting to see if Alex would return but it was hard to tell.

Kailey had called her, the Avalanche game was just starting in Arizona. “I saw the clip on Twitter, that didn’t look good,” Kailey mumbled.

“I know it was tough, but he hasn’t been ruled out,” Y/N explained as she watched the intermission report draw to a close.

“I’m sure it was just scary, easier to get checked out than to force it,” Kailey reassured as she let out a dramatic groan, probably about something that was happening during Bo’s game. 

“Yeah, yeah, totally,” she mumbled. 

“So, are you sure you and Alex aren’t doing long distance, seems like you guys are still super close,” she pressured, a smirk evident on her lips. Y/N rolled her eyes playfully as she watched the ice fade into view. The broadcast zooms in on Alex skating on the ice, to start the game.

“He’s on the ice,” she mumbled into the phone, a sigh of relief leaving her body as she smiled towards the screen. “I gotta go, call me later,” she mumbled before she hung up the phone and rested it beside her.

The game starts and only twenty seconds in, Alex is shoved and falls awkwardly into the net, his foot getting entangled with the net. She gasps as she watches him try to get up, but finding it impossible to put any pressure on his ankle. 

The ref calls the play dead, she gasps as she watches him get assistance from his teammates to stand. He skates towards the bench with help, unable to put pressure on his other ankle. 

It had been forty minutes since the game ended, Alex unable to return to the game. She calls him, needing to hear his voice. After seven rings, she nearly ended the call before he answered.

“How bad is it?” she asked as soon as he answered. He chuckled dryly.

“Not looking good,” he mumbled as he took a sharp breath, “Definitely out for a while,” he mumbled, sadly. 

“Oh Alex, I’m so sorry,” she muttered as she tilted her head back. He stayed silent. “Al?” she let out. He hummed. “Whatcha thinking?” she asked. 

“I’m frustrated,” he mumbled, “Finally have a place where I can say I can actually make an impact and I’m out for like the whole season,”

“You don’t know that,” 

“Two months at least,” he let out, groaning. “So you were watching?” he asked, changing the subject. She smiled as she tilted her head back.

“Haven’t missed a game yet,” she mumbled.

He let out a huff of air as he smiled widely, “No?” and she hummed as a reply. “Well, you’re gonna have to watch the games even though I’m not playing,” he let out.

Tonight was the first night he was coming back to Denver. He was nervous especially since his best friend, Bo, wasn’t playing for the Avalanche anymore either. He was laying in his hotel, unsure if he was allowed to call and ask to see Y/N. 

The boys were supposed to be on lockdown and rest inside their hotel rooms, alone. But he had to see her. He pulled his phone towards his ear, the phone rang a handful of times before she answered.

“Welcome back to Denver,” she said teasingly. He chuckled as he bit his bottom lip.

“Go to dinner with me,” he requested, in more of a demand. She furrowed her eyebrows harshly. “Meet me at our restaurant in an hour?” he asked. 

She needed to say no, this whole being friends was easy with phone calls and texting. She wasn’t sure how she was going to act if she saw him in person. It’s been nearly a year since they’ve broken up and she hasn’t even thought about being involved with anyone else.

“Okay,” she mumbled before hanging up the phone. 

~

It was several hours later and they were finished with the dinner. It wasn’t awkward at all, almost as if they’ve been together this entire time. Except there were no signs of romantic tension. “I can’t believe we finished a whole bottle of wine,” she mumbled while shaking her head.

“You act like that’s a lot for us,” he said laughing. They stood up from the table, walking together out of the building. She rolled her eyes playfully as they continued walking through the restaurant that they used to be regulars at.

They waited for the Uber they were going to share home. It was easier than riding separately. Her apartment was on the way to his hotel room. He stared towards her with a look she couldn’t quite decipher. 

“I’m glad you agreed to go with me,” he let out, a smirk toying his lips. She smiled towards him, unsuspectedly she wanted to kiss him. It was a sudden urge, she wanted to blame the half bottle of wine she drank. Or it was the way he was looking at her, she missed his lips. The small scruff of facial hair looked amazing on him, as his brown eyes seemed brighter than normal. 

The Uber pulled forward, and stopped in front of them. They climbed in the backseat. They were suddenly aware of each other's presence. Being on the opposite end of a dining table it was easy to feel normal. But being a near inch away from one another it was hard to ignore the magnet pulling them towards one another.

“Are you nervous?” she asked as he shifted his gaze towards her. His eyes looked down towards her lips for a brief second, admiring the red gloss covering them. 

“Right now?” he asked, she shook her head. “Oh tomorrow? Yeah, a little. But I’m excited to play at Ball Arena again.” he mumbled as he licked his lips.

“I’m excited to see you play in person again,” she muttered. 

“Yeah?” he asked, squinting his eyes slightly. She nodded.

“You know, our nights after that restaurant usually end differently,” she changed the subject, dropping her gaze to her lap. He smirked as he leaned his head towards her. She lifted her gaze to meet his eye. Her heart was pounding so loud it was the only thing she could hear.

She was getting hot as he was staring her down with utmost desperation.

“Yeah we are usually all-” he began making dramatic kissing motions towards her, purposely swirling his tongue out of his mouth. 

“Right?” she laughed as she began mimicking the motion again as they leaned towards one another. Suddenly they began kissing for real. His hand took a hold of her cheek, pulling her towards him. The kiss was sloppy and desperate for more. 

It was only a few minutes before the Uber driver stopped in front of her apartment building where they both climbed out of the car without thanking the driver. He took a hold of her hand guiding her towards the apartment as they were both breathing heavily. 

Stepping inside the apartment they stumbled into the stairwell beside the front door to the building. He shoved her body against the wall and began kissing her again. She leaned her body against him as his hands held her hips tightly against him. 

“Fuck,” she mumbled against his lips before she slipped away from his grasp, taking a hold of his hand as she guided him up the stairs towards the second floor.

anon asks

do you like milkshakes

what are your fave lestappen fics of all time

where's your username from??

damnn okayy ty for this anon <3

Yes I love me a good milkshakes but im not obsessed with them or anything (cant stand strawberry tho). My dad has been making absolute bangers of milkshakes for as long as I can remember so it was a cold beverage I grew up with a lot. This also means i'm very judgy about my milkshakes so I don't drink them unless i'm sure they're gonna be good.

oh lordy lord. this is gonna be longgg.

@maxcuntstappen's I Loved You Before I Knew I Was Supposed To holds a special special place in my heart. Lav, being the absolute majesty they are, did a phenomenal job with it. It's so tender and soft and sweet i can't get enough of it. I've read it enough times to narrate it scene-by-scene. I wish I could read i again for the first time ( I would gladly slam a cardoor on my hand for it). Something about it makes me wanna hug Lav and cry. (CHECK OUT LAV'S OTHER FICS TOO THEY'RE ALL AMAAZING AND SO WORTH THE READ AND RE-READ)

Right Where You Belong by @amarynas is another absolute fav. This remains the fic to which i cried the most without a doubt. It's so fluffy (lets ignore the absolute heart attacks it gave me for amin here) and RWYB Max is an absolute loser boyerfriend (affectionate) and I wouldn't want it any other way. Also shoutout to Cisca for making Charles so tenderly fierce. It was a treat.

Long Live (The Walls We Crashed Through) is a fic i'm an absolute sucker for (sue me, i'm weak for the bsfs to lovers trope). It's so tender and nice and heartwarming and I wish I could read it again for the first time.

Never in a million years would I have thought I'd read Chef AUs, but here we are Grapefruit Mignonette and Give Me That Fire are both Chef/Restaurant AUs that truly slap. They're both so well written and give you an amazing insight into the industry while keeping you in a chokehold the entire time.

Red, White & Orange-Nassau and Homeward Bound by @f1-giuki are OMLLL. They're both so good it's insane. They give me sm comfort i wanna cry. The found-familyness of it all has me in such a strong chokehold and i don't ever wanna come out of it.

Meet Me In Montreal is a series by my legend @bumblewyn that i absolutely love. It's a pretty quick read (it's all mini fics that averages at 2kish words per work, hence why the series) and a constant reminder about these two's inability to be normal about each other with a side-dish serving of angst.

I'm pretty sure there are so many gems out there i've missed mentioning bc i have the memory-span of an octopus (fun fact if you havent figued it out; octopuses are the animals with the shortest memory span of just 3 seconds) but yeah. RIP to all the other amazing fics out there that i've read and adored but simply can't remember atm, i hate my brain too (and i suck at bookmarking or saving my favs so here we are). (P.S. All these writers have more amazing, amazing fics that i've not mentioned so do check them out if you haven't)

Uhm. It literally has no meaning behind it, love. I love love stars (fav shape fs) and i was struggling to find a username and i happened to be dooding stars at the edge of a sticky note whie brainstorming usernames so i decided on star, my brain generated the word 'world' for me and it became starrwrld bc starworld was already taken. (and maybe, just maybe, it is a small allusion to the song starman and to bowie himself bc i love that man)

[1chipmarch]

Favorite of Montreal songs and album? I can never decide on mine but rn I’d say Mingusings and Wintered Debts for the songs and Skeletal Lamping and Paralytic Stalks for the albums. Sorry if this has been asked already

HI HI!!!💕💕

This question is literally so hard, I’ve been pondering all day about it but I think I’ve narrowed it down a bit!

My favorite album has to be satanic panic in the attic or cherry peel, I think those two are just perfect and I love every single song in them!

Now for my favorite songs:

party’s crashing us, bassem sabry, sails,hermaphroditic , sex Karma, heimdalsgate like a promethean curse, soporific cell, triumph of disintegration, dour percentage and ummmmm …..THERES WAY TOO MANY!!

I literally love way too many songs .. but if I was held at gun point to choose then I’ll pick sex karma and party’s crashing us because they mean a lot to me !!

Also no worries! I haven’t gotten this question yet and I bet my answer would be different everytime since I’m super indecisive about picking favorites!

Also I loveeee winter debts and skeletal lamping, i have many more favs but this post would be super long if i rambled on about OM!!

anywayyss..

THANKS FOR ASKING ^.^ !!!!💕💕

[spiral-wizard]
