Okay, the playlists. We love them, they are so cool. But... there is a mystery and there are ✨Clues✨
Tumblr media
If you take the first letter of the first lyric in each song, every playlist spells a word. Cool cool cool, okay then. But. BUT. Three of the playlists have a weird... corruption. Aziraphale, Crowley and Muriel's have one letter that is wrong.
Here is Muriel's list.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Here is Aziraphale's.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And last, Crowley's list.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The question is, what does this mean? Definitely can't write it off as being an accident. We all know that there is too much attention to detail. And the songs themselves seem very specific. But I have more questions than answers. My questions are -
Is Angel Eyes a reference to Aziraphale's new position - will they in fact change color, and if so, which color is the real "angel eyes" being referenced as his true self?
What is it Muriel is supposed to let go of? Heaven, perhaps?
Why does Starman not fit using the song title like the other two? Is it because that isn't who Crowley is anymore? Should it be replaced with a different song like, oh I don't know, Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy? (chews on glass)
Excuse me, I will be off spiraling over these lists for the foreseeable future.

there is something so special about using a rabbit to symbolize the main character as being helpless and meek, as being a runner, as being prey and then getting to watch as that rabbit finally learns to use its nails.

i fear i am endlessly predictable (writing new dps au which is once again fantasy with Arthurian elements)
Tumblr media
#it's an au of the dark is rising sequence by susan cooper#(which is to say it's based mostly off of over sea under stone and the dark is rising - with hints of the grey king running through)#and also to say that really i just wanted to write an homage to a very specific genre of british children's fantasy fiction#that i grew up reading voraciously + which shaped my proclivities and tastes for literature extensively. the little white horse au also#matched this but unfortunately that one is creeping towards the unfinished wips every day#not to get into an abundance of tags but this au revolves around: todd + charlie + meeks as kids and friends on holiday together#and going on a quest to find the grail. which gets sidetracked by keating (charlie's mysterious magical great-uncle) and also#todd gaining supernatural abilities far beyond those a thirteen-year-old boy can reckon with. rip. you know how it is#i think i was just really interested in the way cooper writes will stanton he has such a brilliant. canniness to him#which i suppose is the point after he becomes an old one. anyway! enough waffling in tags!#tristan writes#dps#dead poets society#dps fandom#dps fanfiction#dead poets society fanfiction#no anderperry because they're all kids so no romantic relationships per se (other than in that teenager way -#and also they have like. the world to save and evil to defeat lol)#but neil is here and supernatural and also fun to write. there's a certain cadence#and i like leaning into a more ominous side of him especially when he's so young in this au it's really funny#strangely ethereal looking thirteen-year-old child tells you in his prepubescent voice that the Dark shall reclaim the Light in a#fierce and savage hunt known to history but the likes of which the huntsman has never seen over rushing water.#and you just kind of have to sit there and deal with that#SORRY THESE TAGS GOT VERY LONG I REALLY LIKE THIS AU

Neil can you please write my senior year theater bio for the program. I got the lead in the play The Curious Savage” but I don’t know what on earth to write. Help me. PLEASEE. I’m begging you. I already asked Michael and got no response.
Ex. This is **************. They are a senior at **************. They play Mrs Ethel P. Savage. (What ever you write for me) they hope you enjoy the show.
P.s. this can be complete and utter bull crap, bios at my school are always just nonsense! Please write whatever but try to make it
I think this is one for crowdsourcing. Okay crowd, pour on that special source...

Hi-Lo Arthuriana
Have a high interest in Arthurian Legend but low readability?
Here's a collection of adapted or abridged books to help ease you into the literary tradition. This list is ordered from simplest to most complex, beginning with picture books and ending with "translations" of Middle English texts into modern English or abridged versions of longer texts such as the Vulgate. Books in a series are numbered.
As always, if the book is still in print, I link to where you can legally purchase the book. Supporting living authors is very important! Otherwise, enjoy a PDF, on me, to keep the legacy of these authors alive.

Strap in if you dare, I’m going to talk about Riko.
Yes, he is a Bad Person. Nothing I’m about to say counters that. However… evil isn’t always so obvious as to dress in black and torture everyone you love. Evil is insidious and nuanced - it can creep in when you aren’t expecting it and have no defences. We’ve been given this incredibly complex and interesting example of it, and we’ve been given it for a reason. Riko is a character worth trying to understand.
Could Riko ever have been saved, and if so what would it have taken? What if he’d been able to follow the Fox path to redemption instead of the Ravens to perdition?
Except both Foxes AND Ravens were traumatised… the thing that ruined Riko was power. Lincoln said it: “nearly all men can stand adversity but if you want to test a man’s character, give him power.” Who was Riko without power? It’s hard to see.
So I’m fascinated by a different question - how did Riko see Riko?
We know how the Foxes saw him: a low-functioning sociopath with zero coping skills and the personality of a cat trapped in a wall cavity. Presumably that’s not how he saw himself. What kind of headcannon did he construct for himself, what was his own personal mythology?
We know he wanted his father’s approval, he wanted to be number one. We know how badly he dealt with those desires being thwarted.
I know how it feels to be an abandoned child. You feel like the outer edges of a person, with this gaping hole in the centre. It’s not just that you lost a loved one, it’s - how can I say it - it’s like the clasp that lets you hold on to people has been torn out too. Everyone will leave now, and you know it.
(I didn’t cope by turning my bedroom into Abu Ghraib, though.)
It’s the worst of both worlds. His father is far enough away to cause that gaping wound, yet not sufficiently gone for it to ever close over and heal.
But… despite his impossible situation, Riko wasn’t withdrawing into himself. Resentment ate away at him and he liked doing side-projects of revenge, but it was hope driving him on. I see Riko as someone with a very hot flame in them, someone determined to succeed (like Neil). He was driven, even if the goal he chased so eagerly was an illusion. I think he saw his situation as a challenge, an opportunity to prove himself and eventually take his rightful place at his father’s side (surely that’s what Kengo really meant, surely this was a test, a test he can pass if he just wins one more time...)
Imagine something like… the second son of a Roman emperor, sent to some far-off outpost to get him out of the way subdue rebel tribes. A chance to make a name for himself, an opportunity to create an elite unit where violence and skill are everything, where winning is everything. A challenge he accepts with savage excitement.
And the world views them with the kind of awe once reserved for ancient Sparta. Unsurpassed warriors, impossibly focussed. Yes, they endure conditions no one else could even consider but they always win, and everyone loves winners. They are the legends of legends. Surely his father will see.
Kevin was his Lancelot, his shining sword, his right hand. Kevin added to Riko’s status, assured him he must be a hero if he had such a splendid champion at his side.
But Kevin is beautiful, so perhaps Riko’s feelings were more complicated than that, perhaps they were feelings he couldn’t admit he had. He could still work those feelings into the overall picture though… it’s all part of Kevin being his beloved champion.
Until the champion started edging him out of his own story and had to be sacrificed. A necessary sacrifice, but losing Kevin struck a huge blow to the mythology Riko built up about himself. He could no longer look in the mirror, side by side, and see Kevin’s glory (and, yes, Kevin’s dad) reflected back as though it belonged to him too.
Despite this Riko finds a way to keep winning, even without his champion. Surely that is even more impressive? Can his father see that?
Still no response. In the story Riko constructs for himself his father does no wrong, so this towering rage he feels has to crash down on someone else. He tells himself he is punishing his troops for daring to be unworthy.
Then there is Jean, someone from a caste so low as to be unclean, even subnormal, someone it would hurt Riko’s prestige to treat with any kind of respect. But Jean is also beautiful, and those feelings can’t be worked into the myth. Their outlet is the darkness behind closed doors, along with all the other feelings that don’t fit the story of the hero.
Harming his people, his intimate possessions, was Riko’s coping mechanism for rejection and humiliation the way self-harm in many forms is to many others. (Are you hearing me if I say hurting yourself is hurting your own Perfect Court, and there is collateral damage even if you think it’s just you, because people love you and suffer because of it? Are you hearing me if I say stop being Riko to yourself?)
And maybe his enjoyment of that cruelty was, deep down, a form of denial that the cruelty arose from anguish. ‘No I’m not upset, I’m not a loser, I’m in control, I’m doing this because I like it…’ Maybe even to the point where rendition becomes sexual.
But it’s starting to unravel. He’s lost his only friend and can no longer unleash his mounting frustrations on Jean the way he wants to; he’s running out of pieces for his board.
Then he finds the fugitive his family were chasing for so long. This is his big chance. He’ll have a brand new champion for his stable or a valuable offering to please his father, he wins either way.
He captures this feral child who tells him there is no empty throne waiting by the side of the emperor, Kengo never mentions his son’s name, Riko is nothing more than a joke in that far-off capital. So much scorn in those words that the carefully constructed mythology withers before it.
First the would-be rook took the queen, then the wild-card knight escapes again, and now the whipping boy / concubine / bishop is taken by a girl with a cross around her neck. The king has lost all his men… because that’s your REAL story, isn’t it: everyone leaves you.
And then… Kengo dies.
Yes, Riko is a Bad Person. No, I do not like him. But Nora gave us two boys who met their brother for the first time, two boys who cried out their brother’s name only to see their hopes shattered. And in that moment they were one, so I cannot dismiss this monstrous, horrible abomination no matter how hard I try.
I can however dismiss anyone who says Nora is not a goddess of writing.

do you ever cry about the fact that so many people in Jean’s lives are “could have been’s” like this doesn’t really make sense but bear with me here.
the most obvious one is Kevin right? The one who got away? Who chose his freedom over Jean and doomed them to a forever complex relationship of mutual love and conflicting resentment. “It was always you” but one sided, the reason Jean is alive and yet they cannot connect without the past haunting them both. “If the lord does not recover, Riko will take his anger and grief out on everyone around him.”
“Good thing you’re not there anymore”
“Jean still is”
and then, obviously there’s Neil, right? The misplaced forever partner, who was so savage to Jean at the banquet but in their hour of need they had each other’s backs at the nest. Another “could have been” who again chose freedom over servitude and left Jean there to face the aftermath of his chaos
Renee, “right person wrong time”, “in another life”, the girl who kept him sane after Kevin and Neil both left him, who saved his LIFE when she rescued him from the nest. Renee, who dropped everything in the middle of the night to break into Edgar Allen and DEMAND to see Jean. “If he’d been going to say anything else, he forgot it when he got a good look at Renee.” Renee being another one of Jean’s “nonstop temptations”. He still wears her cross necklace and keeps her picture at his desk. I’m going insane
didn’t Nora say that if Andrew and Jean had the chance, they probably would have gotten on quite well?
it feels evil to include her in this list but Eloide. Don’t make me say anything else.
“One sister, four years younger. I haven’t spoken to her since I left home,”
“You should try and reconnect.”
“what does this plan mean for my sister?”
“Did you think you were special?”

Neil antagonizes Aaron.
"Are you at all sorry?" Neil asked. "You took his family away from him." If looks could kill, the one Aaron shot Neil should have flayed the skin from his bones. "That man was not his family." "Technically, he was only a couple signatures away from being Andrew's legal brother. I didn't mean him, anyway. I meant Drake's parents, Cass and Richard Spear," Neil said. "They were going to keep Andrew. Drake was an inconvenience Andrew was willing to live with in exchange." "An inconvenience," Aaron echoed as he surged to his feet. "You fucking—" "And now Drake is dead," Neil said. "Do you think Cass will ever forgive Andrew? It doesn't matter what Drake did to him. She won't be able to look at Andrew without knowing her son is dead because of him." "I don't care." Aaron gave a savage jerk of his hand. "I don't care if Andrew never speaks to me again. I don't care about Cass or Drake or anyone. What Drake did—no. If I could bring him back from the dead and kill him again I would." "Good," Neil said quietly. "So now you understand why Andrew killed your mother." It was not at all what Aaron was expecting. He was so angry it took a couple seconds for the words to really register, and then he recoiled from Neil. "Why he—what? That isn't the same. He didn't do that for me." "He told me he did," Neil said. "I didn't even have to ask him. He warned her to stop hitting you and she wouldn't. He had no choice but to get rid of her. Just like last night, right? Drake was hurting Andrew, and you made him stop. Except I lied," Neil said, getting to his feet. "Unlike you, he's not angry that you interfered. I just said that because I needed you to understand." "You don't know anything," Aaron said. "I know you've got a couple weeks to think about it," Neil said. "When Andrew comes back sober you're going to have to talk about this. You won't get anywhere if you start with Drake, so you might as well start with your mother. Now let's get out of this city.”

Hey Kween, I just saw your tags saying you're writing Kevseth and... Ahhhhh! I read through the whole tag on AO3 recently because I got obsessed and now my favourite author's writing for them too??! I am so excited!!! Wishing you a good time zone 🧡
Thank youuu! Ok so here's the deal about them. One of my favorite books is Summer Sons, and while I was on the audiobook I thought ok, hold on, what if... Seth, raised in the south, warm southern drawl, shitton of attitude and repressed sexuality??? YES.
Anyway, here's a snippet for you. I already love them. 😍
“Fuck off, Day,” Seth growled in his face. “Don’t act like your name isn’t the reason why you matter.”
Kevin grabbed his face, fingers digging savagely into the joints of his jaw. “I’m not going to apologize for that. You don’t know half of what I had to do to be here. I’ve worked through blood and broken bones to get where I am, and I still barely made it.”
Seth clutched his wrist in a crushing grip. “Boo-hoo, poor Kevin Day, had an accident, how sad, how tragic. Piss off, dick. What, you think my life has been a fucking Hallmark movie?”
Kevin pressed his palm flat on the wall next to Seth’s head, the brush of air across his neck sending a shiver down his back. Seth wanted to fucking punch the air out of him.
“You’re here, aren’t you?” Kevin said, his eyes burning wild. “I know it hasn’t been easy. You wouldn’t be here otherwise. But while Neil and I work our asses off to move this team forward, you only deign to play with us. You act like you don’t care about any of this, Exy, college.” Kevin leaned so close Seth could taste the salt on his lips. “But I think you’re full of shit. You’re scared because it does mean something. You’re just used to being a fuck-up. Don’t you want to know what you’d be if you stopped?”
“Fuck you!” Seth spat out and his head clocked against the lockers.
“Yeah. We already did that. Let me know when you're ready to see what else we can do if you fucking tried for once.”

i know that the "you know, i get it" speech is the definition of savage but the fandom should definitely not forget when Neil Josten: the person no one knew before this night had the balls to say those words to Riko Moriyama on live television
