#obviously the nightwish one was my fave because nightwish

[thelastevilregal]

These are good and I want them on my blog *yoink*

Tagged by @thelastevilregal to share 5 songs I listen to

1. Tommy Tutone - Jenny

2. OneRepublic - All the right moves

3. Ella Fitzgerald - Summertime

4. Melnitsa - Blade of grass (I'm begging you to listen to at least the first 15 seconds of this song just to hear the sound of a zhaleika, a type of wind instruments)

5. Nightwish - Sleeping Sun

(Bonus song) Melnitsa - Tsarevich

Bold of you to assume I know 10 people on here so I'm once again passing the torch to @thelesbianpoirot and @olivinesea if they want to. And I hope the links work because I searched for songs via a tumblr option on my phone.

A (While your Lips are Still Red💋) U and V for the fic asks 💕

Oooh I love these, thank you so much for asking!! 😘😘😘

A: How did you come up with the title to While Your Lips Are Still Red?

Okay, so two things you need to know:

- By then I would always name a fic after a song I like (I still do but it's not systematic)

- This story was initially supposed to be a one-shot about fake kissing turning into real kissing.

So basically I wanted a songtitle evocative of the mouth/lips/kissing and I really liked this Nightwish song. The mention of red lips reminded me of Beth’s lipstick, and the actual meaning of the song (some sort of Carpe Diem, the red lips are a metaphor for being alive) quite fitted the idea of Beth rediscovering she's alive after twenty years of being a zombie with Dean 😂

U: Share three of your favorite fic writers and why you like them so much.

Aaaah, I have so many faves!!! Okay so from the top of my head there'll be:

- Obviously s_t_c_s (@sothischickshe). Her writing is absolutely unique and her characterizations of Beth and Rio as cranky lunatics are totally on point and hilarious.

- elisewrites (@elise-jupiterstyle). She has one of the most haunting and poetic writing I know, and her fics are delicious pieces of angst. One of the fandom's most underrated writer if you ask for my opinion.

- MissMaxime (@missmaxime). Here's a writer whose writing constantly surprises me, getting better and better with each fic she writes, and she's also one of the most creative authors around here, whether it's with unexpected POV (I See Your True Technicolor), timeline management (Wild At Heart) or comedy gold (Stuck In The Middle).

And you know what the best part is?? These three ladies are also delightful, incredibly kind human beings 💜💜

V: If you could write the sequel (or prequel) to any fic out there not written by yourself, which would you choose?

Oh wow, I have absolutely no idea! I mean the genesis of Love and War was basically me trying to write my own sequel of A Rational Choice because I couldn’t wait for the update, but other than that, I don’t know... I mean I think we all have pretty different vibes around here so it would be difficult for me to mix my writing with someone else’s? Not to mention how I wouldn't feel AT ALL competent to pretend that my writing is as good as the original...

So don't get me wrong, I have absolutely no pretention to even reach the ankle of her talent, but maybe I'd choose Tell No Tale by @riosnecktattoo because I absolutely adored this universe and would love to see more of it (@riosnecktattoo wink wink!)

 

Ask me fanfic stuff!! (and I’ll probably take forever to answer them)

Rules: answer 30 questions, tag 10 blogs & post it as a text post. I was tagged by @theotokosi last month but I kept forgetting to fill this out!

I’m a shy bean and hardly ever do text posts on tumblr but new year new me let’s do this ~*~

——————————————————

nickname: I get called Lorenzo by most of my friends and my partner, other than that it’s usually Loz

gender: cis female

star sign: cancer ♋️

height: 5’8”

time: it is currently 5:20pm

birthday: 5th july

fave band(s): dimmu borgir, bring me the horizon, foals, circa survive, arctic monkeys, sticky fingers, deftones, fall out boy (yes I still like fob okay their new album was great 😂), the neighbourhood, nightwish, twenty one pilots, nine inch nails, die antwoord, rüfüs du sol, cloud control, lots more!

fave solo artists: the ones I can think of off the top of my head are bayonne, david bowie, lana del rey, childish gambino, matt corby...

song stuck in your head: adrenaline by rupaul got stuck in my head the other day after watching a rupaul’s drag race complication video. jingle bells was another one that I woke up with in my head the other day and like it’s february pls don’t do this

last movie watched: at the cinemas was Mary Queen of Scots, last movie watched at home??? I actually can’t remember??? the last movie I remember actively putting on was like three weeks ago probably and it was The Duchess because keira knightly 😍

last show watched: Bob’s Burgers - before that the last series was Godless becausecause I wanted something to fill the hole red dead redemption 2 left but I didn’t really like Godless tbh :/

when did i create my blog: some time in 2010. long enough ago I was in the inception fandom 😂

what do i post: pretty things, memes, picture of people I like, video games and movies/tv shows I like

last thing i googled: “Morocco smart traveller” because I wanna go there one day and I want to know what’s going on

do you have any blogs: I have a seperate tumblr blog for my art that I have not updated in many a year. the other day I was thinking of posting my art here but I’m not sure??

do you get asks: nope

why did you choose your URL: okay so it’s kinda a long story but I’ll try simplify it - when Star Wars 7 came out I had heart eyes for kylo ren because adam driver is handsome and every time I saw one of those “star sign memes” kylo ren would always be on my star sign (understandably we are an emotional bunch), on my birth month on calendars, and I did one of those “what star wars character are you” and my result obviously ended up being kylo ren (I’m nice in real life I swear!) so it became a meme with my friends that I’m him and so they roast me by calling me ky-lauren.

following blogs: 361 but a LOT of them are old inactive blogs. I’ve been on this website for too long 😂

followers: 259 but I think a lot of them are old inactive blogs and the occasional pron bots that somehow still exist even after the “purge”

favourite colour: red

average hours of sleep: anywhere between 5 and 10 there is no in between

piercings: I have a septum piercing, a nose ring in my left nostril, and three ear lobe piercings on each ear. I really want a medusa piercing but I’m hesitant because not sure if it will suit me/too much maintenance/if it leaves a scar/hurts too much.

instruments: I have a very musical family and I have natural rhythm and I get the hang of instruments quickly but I’m also a gremlin who can’t commit learning anything for a consistent amount of time. I have a bass guitar which I used to know some songs on and I’ve also got an electric keyboard piano which I’m trying to actively learn songs on.

what I’m wearing: here is a rare gpoy because I have deep ~*~body and self esteem issues~*~ but I left the house today for something other than work so I actually put outside clothes on (I’m sorry I don’t know how to pose) so here be my dress

how many blankets do you sleep with: just one doona (duvet? Is that what they’re called? I’m australian I don’t know the proper word). If it’s REALLY hot then I’ll just use a bed sheet but I like having a proper blanket on me no matter the temperature for comfort and security and also because they soft and squishy.

dream job: when I was young I wanted to be soo many different things, first it was a palaeontologist, then an actress, a director, then a musician, an author, illustrator... as an adult I still want to do all these things haha. now a dream job would be something I have location freedom in so I can move around countries!

dream trip: I want to go everywhere!! a dream trip would go just drop everything and travel the world for a year. I’ve been so desperate to travel like most of my life but I’ve never been able to afford to go anywhere. but hopefully at the end of this year, my partner and I can afford to go to Egypt (which has been a dream trip for me since I was little!). I wanna see all the old temples and the pyramids!

fave food: okay so I just like food but if I was to pick one thing THIS is probably my favourite food

it’s an australian (I think it’s an australian thing??) party dish which is basically spinage, corn, sour cream and I think like some sort of stock (some people out extra bits in it) all mixed together and baked in a cob loaf and you just fricken get in there and dip bits of yummy lightly crunchy bits of baked bread into it and it’s delicious!!!

current fave song: right now it’s a tie between “star roving” by slowdive, “bishops knife trick” by fall out boy, and “the unveiling” by dimmu borgir. I keep going back to those songs for the past 6 months and they all have a memory attached.

nationality: australian

Music and random FFXV headcanons

Noctis:

Has a Marty McFly complex: gets fired up when he’s called a Chicken.

Likes old Fall Out Boy.

Likes Nightwish.

He loves orchestral/soft piano music, but feels a bit shy about it and will mostly listen to that when entirely alone.

Ignis shares that taste and gives orchestral/piano suggestions to Noct.

Noct never told him, but Ignis knows he prefers privacy, so he just suggest music and leaves him alone (unless Noct specifically asks him to stay). 

DC comics. Period.

Gladio:

His musical taste is the most diverse one.

Will go from Bon Jovi to Ella Fitzgerald to Eluveitie but: 

He LOVES classic disco hits.

Will always sing and dance to I Will Survive

Will always sing and dance to Can’t Take My Eyes Off You.

He LOVES musicals, both theatre and movies.

Damn Latin rhythms, Gladio will dance to them.

Only jazz companion to Ignis.

He likes Clamp manga.

Marvel but DC ocassionally.

Ignis: 

He LOVES Muse

Fave album = The Second Law

Would marry Matt Bellamy’s voice if he could.

Orchestral/Soft piano musical mate to Noctis.

Too reserved to sing, but will ocassionally hum.

Flamenco fanboy? I mean, it’s elegant and fire-like just like he is? Dunno.

Jazz and Blues because he can.

Loves waltzes (and knows how to dance them but rarely shows it).

Any waltz: Tchaikovsky’s Waltz of the Flowers or Joe Hisaishi’s Howl’s Moving Castle.

Waltz 3/4 rhythm is life.

Power metal companion to Prompto (with some exceptions).

DC but Marvel ocassionally.

Prompto: 

Star Wars fanboy to death (obviously).

Musical theatre/movies companion to Gladio.

From AC/DC to Green Day.

Power metal!

Likes Panic! At The Disco

Would go gay for early-years Brendon Urie.

The one that knows best on videogame music.

Loves Koji Kondo.

Loves Mario Galaxy.

Won’t say it but he loves Disney music.

Marvel comics. Period.

What else do you headcanon? :)

Consider the headcanons come from the enviroment I live in/the things I know; I might be missing more accurate headcanons, but that’s not the point. It’s just for fun, so consider not coming up with comments of the “ugh ofc not, this is so fake, he’d like this better u ass” sort, thank you.

Tunes Survey

Survey #44 on the Countdown to 2018!

This one's from the 8th and I've done more on the 9th and 12th so far.

What's a song you like with a color in the title?

Paint It Black originally by The Rolling Stones, although my fave cover is by Inkubus Sukkubus.

What's a song you like with a number in the title?

One by Three Dog Night, but my fave cover is by Filter from the X-Files: Fight The Future soundtrack.

What's a song that reminds you of summertime?

Soda Pop by Britney Spears, which is from Pokemon The First Movie.

What's a song that reminds you of someone you would rather forget about?

I don't seriously want to forget any of my exes because they taught me a lot, but I'm not so hot on thinking about Matthew M. more than I have to.

He was the worst SO of mine and the only one I ever thought of as a total loser by the end of our relationship. Still, the song Fighter by Christina Aguilera reminds me of him.

What's a song that needs to be played loudly?

Not too loudly, but I'd go with (Hey You) Free Up Your Mind by Emma Bunton. She was Baby Spice of the Spice Girls band. It's another song from the first Pokemon movie.

What's a song that makes you want to dance?

Nothing always puts me in a grooving mood, but sometimes Shake It Off by Taylor Swift works.

What's a song to drive or ride to?

Definitely Cruisin' which is originally by Smokey Robinson, but I prefer the cover by Gwyneth Paltrow and Huey Lewis.

What's a song about drugs or alcohol?

I have no interest in songs about drugs, alcohol, sex or being braggadocious. So I obviously dislike a lot of rap music.

What's a song that makes you happy?

Nothing always makes me respond that way.

What's a song that makes you sad?

Same as above. Music doesn't directly influence my moods like that.

What's a song you never get tired of?

I'd get tired of anything eventually.

What's a song from your preteen years?

I always listened to old Beatles songs back then, so just pick your poison.

What's one of your favorite ‘80s songs?

Eye Of The Tiger by Survivor which is my fave fight song. It inspired one of my usernames, but my nickname is also Tigress partly due to my year's Chinese zodiac sign.

What's a song you would love played at your wedding?

I have no idea, getting hitched is the last thing on my mind.

What's a song that's a cover by another artist?

Man, I've already mentioned several… I can't really think of another off the top of my head.

What's one of your favorite classical songs?

I don't really have favorites of songs without lyrics.

What's a song you would sing a duet with on karaoke?

I'm a fantastic singer so karaoke isn't really any fun for me. *shrug*

What's a song from the year you were born?

Hm, I'd have to Google that…

Sledgehammer by Peter Gabriel! ❤

What's a song that makes you think about life?

No Rain by Blind Melon.

What's a song that has many meanings to you?

Well, most songs seem rather straightforward…

Maybe something by Nightwish because they have songs laden with lots of meaning, although I'm not talking about interpretations here.

What's a favorite song with a person’s name in the title?

I don't have any faves with names in them. In fact, I prefer songs that don’t drop names like that.

What's a song that moves you forward?

Fight Song by Rachel Platten is pretty inspirational.

What's a song you think everybody should listen to?

I don't think there's a song like that.

What's a song by a band you wish were still together?

I don't really feel that way.

What's a song by an artist no longer living?

Thriller by Michael Jackson.

What's a song that makes you want to fall in love?

None have that effect on me.

What's a song that breaks your heart?

I think the only one I could even bring up is Tears In Heaven by Eric Clapton since I know what it's really about.

What's a song by an artist with a voice that you love?

I Want To Conquer The World by Bad Religion.

Despite my own beliefs, they have some good songs and I used to listen to them a lot as a kid. However, there’s content regarding confusion about God that I could've explained when I was 13.

What's a song you remember from your childhood?

The Sailor Moon cover of I Wanna Hold Your Hand by the Beatles.

What's a song that reminds you of yourself?

Bitch by Meredith Brooks. That's the only one that doesn't have any content I could possibly disagree with. LOL
