OC Ships and Songs Tag

I was tagged by @mysticstarlightduck, here, and @pheita, here. Thank you both so much! 💙

Rules: write two to five songs from them that represent your ship between your ocs (it can be platonic or romantic or a secret third thing). then add a quote from said WIP (if possible!) underneath it.

Tagging (gently): @sam-glade @outpost51 @void-botanist @sparatus @sarahlizziewrites and anyone else who'd like to do this!

Mariel and Axtapor: Valentine - Laufey

This WHOLE SONG is so them I can't 😭 but these parts especially!

What if he's the last one I kiss? What if he's the only one I'll ever miss? Maybe I should run, I'm only twenty-one I don't even know who I want to become I've lost all control of my heartbeat now Got caught in a romance with him somehow I still feel a shock through every bone When I hear an, "I love you" 'Cause now I've got someone to lose

Quote

And then, the realization hit me; he would probably be more affectionate now than ever before. Such a thing could not be possible, could it? I could hardly imagine how he would be— Oh, it was too much to entertain! I smiled at him, then covered my face bashfully, giggling at the prospect. He laughed along with me but, curiously, didn’t tease me about it.

Fay and Wilkes: If We Were Made Of Water - BANKS

Perfectly encapsulates their forever will they/won't they. My angry little disasters 💙

Baby say it again Maybe if you say it again Maybe if you say it again Maybe I'll believe it then Baby say it again Baby if you say it again Change some words around maybe I'll believe you then And I'm hurting from the way that this worked out If you could rearrange your words you could've saved it If we were made of water, we could swim around it Can't no more

Quote

She nodded after some moments and cupped my face in her hands. We savored one another on the decks of her ship as we’d done many times before, but not under the stars or those vast skies as before. Beneath the surface. Occulted. And this time with the limits of how high we could reach laid plainly before us. The soured reality of our demise tainted the water around us like some festering thing. There was no joy. No love. Nothing beautifully stirred. It was still and cold.

Hartim and Lexlar: Pain and Misery - The Teskey Brothers

You guys are just getting to know these two but they and their story have lived in my heart for so long, I can't wait for you all to know it too 💚

Honey, please, whoa please Won't you stay with me? 'Cause since you gone It's pain and misery Hey I'm begging you, honey Whoa I want you to love me Yeah, I want you to love me I need you so bad

Quote

Something about the way he had spoken the word made Eiph’ck feel strange. He turned his head, easily finding Quye’ck’s outline. He was looking back at him, but in the darkness, could not make out his expression. “Goodnight, Eiph’ck.”  Those words, they were warm. And loud. Like a fire… They made his throat hot. They made him grateful for the darkness.  “Goodnight, Quye’ck.”

Because I'm insane, here's some drawings and doodles of some fairly oddparents stuff I've been doing the last couple days plus @circusgoth-dotcom 's s/i! (Pictures taken moments before disaster)

I don't know why I seem to suddenly and RANDOMLY get new hyperfixations lately, but my partner pointed out that it's always when they're gone on a work trip 😂😂 the colors aren't super concrete on my s/i and the outfit in general is a work in progress still, but I've been having a lot of fun experimenting with the style!

“I made her feel powerless, I knocked her down and— and she still makes me feel scared.” —Satoru, So Find One And Seize It, Chapter 5

So a consequence of rereading Chapters 4 and 5 of SFOASI from The Odyssey series by the utterly incredible HotCocoaaa ( @biscaanii ) and then listening to Hawk in the Night by Maddie Buckley soon afterward is getting immediate brainrot for the most depressingly brutal piece I could start 2024 with. It worked too well for the Gojo Clan, especially Cocoa's rendition of Satoru and his grandmother, Akemi. She's a terrible woman and she fascinates me.

Go read this series guys it's so great—

(WIP) Music Monday Tag | Tagged by @simplegenius042

The rules: Post a song that is relevant to your WIP or inspires it. I’m also including the lyrics.

I don't need to know the odds that we survive I'll still hold you close like the sharp edge of the knife If you gotta go, put the blindfold on my eyes I'll hold on to hope, 'cause I love the way she lies Darling, I would risk it all for you Betting on a hand I was bound to lose Deal me in again 'cause it hasn't killed me yet Love can turn a red heart black and blue I'd still play the game if you asked me to Hoping for the best with a gun against my head

Sacrificed my innocence too young I'm numb Kiss the pink back in my lips, my love Check me for a pulse, baby, I'm dead inside Crawl under my skin and bring me back to life Speak to me in tonguеs, oh, mi amore I can hear the angels on the other side Baby, scream my name and bring me back to life Make my heart beat again Want me, save me Only you Can make my heart Beat again

You stay hanging over me like wisteria Always hanging in the air everywhere I go There's an ocean in between us I see you, though 'Cause it's you in the air that I breathe Coming over me with the waves from the sea I think I wanna be with you Believe in you To be free with you

Auraugust Day 23: Flex

Akira had hoped that they could show some flexibility. What was it people said about unstoppable forces and immovable objects?

So this is my first post of a new AU SOMEONE bullied me into making (ilu @azems-familiar and @sunderedazem) where Akira has already been with G'raha and had Stella before the end of EW, but she loves Hyth and Hades too. Shenanigans ensue. I think the booktok girlies call this a 'why choose'.

For a note, I write down the name of the capital with blood

The only thing in the world which keeps me going

No matter how many times I change my path, my destination is still right here

Instrumental

Where am I? How I got in here?

I feel so tired, as if I walked for many miles

What I see is a door leading out of this room

I am prepared to confront whatever waits behind

I'm frightened by what I see

But somehow I know that there's much more to come

Immobilized by my fear

And soon to be blinded by tears

I can stop the pain if I will it all away

If I will it all away

Grief rains over me from my sky

The fear of losing you is still there

I won’t write any songs without you

Without you, the words won’t fly around in my mind

My soul is abandoning me

Where are you?

What’s a song that describes their relationship? Or, what’s the song that they’ve deemed “their” song?

What is something they can never agree on? How do they meet in the middle?

and

What are their favorite places to kiss on their partner(s)? What are their favorite types of kisses?

for the sunbringer's song blorbos :3

YEAHHH thank u, thank u <333 (ask game link)

What’s a song that describes their relationship? Or, what’s the song that they’ve deemed “their” song?

.... y'know, i don't know what "their" song in-universe is, but i know they have one. my first thought was that there's literally a song *about* them, but that feels a bit too self-indulgent even if i think it comes with the territory of being fantasy heroes in a setting where bards write elaborate ballads about said hero types.

a real song that i think describes their relationship, though, is wasteland, baby! by hozier. i think that ties into both the massive impacts they each have on each other, as well as the literal fact that their relationship starts while they are trying to save their world and *prevent* an apocalypse.

What is something they can never agree on? How do they meet in the middle?

OHHH heheh so. this is something i had to stop and think on a little bit, because this may be toeing at some spoilers for wayyyyy down the line in sunbringer's song. but... amid their disagreements in the story, there's one thing that comes to mind in particular. this is an issue that i think they would eventually come to an understanding on, but it takes time.

wyll originally encourages eden to consider reconnecting with his father abdiel. not because he thinks eden should just forgive and forget, but because he wants eden to be able to *have* a parental relationship with the one parent he has left, and he believes that forgiveness would be *better* for eden than holding onto the grief and resentment that's driven him throughout his life. (in part spurred by his own complicated feelings around his own father--wyll sees the parallels and wants eden to have a better relationship with *his* father.)

and as for gale... at first, gale really admires abdiel as a wizard and doesn't understand why eden would want to *hide* being the son of such a powerful, accomplished wizard, regardless of their relationship. and in some ways, him encouraging eden to accept that does help him, especially encouraging him to accept his heritage *in spite* of the shit abdiel put him through... but at first, gale ends up disregarding a lot of eden's feelings on the matter, even if he doesn't *mean* to do so.

and eden... does not react well to any of this, especially at first. it's very hard for him not to take it personally and assume the worst of people, even if he knows logically that wyll and gale both love him and *want* the best for him. he doesn't *want* to hear them telling him that he should forgive his father, or he should be *proud* to be the son of such a terrible man. so, he lashes out, flinching and hissing at them (metaphorically speaking).

(gale and wyll also have their own disagreements about this, especially after seeing how eden reacts to this. it's a Mess.)

as for how they meet in the middle on this... it takes a while, i think, but eventually eden actually hears them out and considers what they're saying. and he's stubborn and prideful and hates to admit that he was lashing out unfairly, even if he is on some level aware that he was. they're able to come to an understanding, and apologize to each other.

wyll and gale *do* encourage eden not to shy away from his past and heritage, and to let go of some of the resentment and rage he carries... but not for abdiel's sake. for his own.

(sidenote, but i've had an idea for a bit for, like... a side story/au sort of thing where the party meets eden's dad. no one likes him.)

What are their favorite places to kiss on their partner(s)? What are their favorite types of kisses?

HEEHEHEHEH... >:3c

wyll: wyll is a big fan of the forehead/temple/top of head kiss. it's a fantastic brief yet tender way to show affection in his opinion, pressing his lips to eden or gale's heads when he passes them, especially when they're wrapped up in their work and might not notice him right away.

tbh, i think wyll just loves showing affection to his partners in general--the specific place doesn't matter, as long as they know how much he cares for them every time he presses his lips to some part of their body.

i'm also very soft for the idea of wyll greeting his husbands by kissing their hands. don't look at me <3 (silly)

gale: similarly, gale loves a good forehead kiss, but what he really likes is being able to be a little over the top with his affection. like everything he does, gale loves deeply and fully, and every gesture oozes that love. whenever he can, he likes to stop and kiss them everywhere he can reach, quietly marveling at the fact that these two beautiful, amazing men love him and are his.

he also loves to tease them. whenever he passes by them, he likes to swoop in and give them a quick peck on the cheek, then dart away before they can respond. especially eden, because he thinks it's very CUTE the way eden will pout up at him every time.

eden: eden is very physically affectionate, but kissing is something he tends to hesitate on more often than not. he likes showing affection, but more often that manifests as cuddling or casual touches than kissing. random kissing tends to just fluster him.

but... especially once the trio's been dating for a while, eden starts doing so a little more often. his favorite way to kiss them is to just. lean up and peck their cheeks or lips real quick before going back to whatever he was doing before. his only obstacle is that they're both much taller than him. so... sometimes eden has to get creative.

(cue eden taking a running start to jump up onto gale to kiss his cheek and tackling him in the process, while gale yells "STARLIGHT I CAN SIMPLY BEND DOWN A LITTLE!!!!" repeat the process with wyll ad infinitum.)

Songs and Ships Tag

Rules: write about two to five songs from them that represent your a ship between your ocs (it can be platonic or romantic or a secret third thing). then add a quote from said wip (if possible!) underneath it.

Thank you for the tag, @theprissythumbelina.

Passing the (optional) tag to @blind-the-winds, @ceph-the-ghost-writer, @void-botanist, @theimperiumchronicles, @ieppiq, and an open tag to anyone else who wants to join in.

So, now here's Sullivan and Road from Empty Names being "a secret third thing". Think of these all as being sung from Sullivan's perspective to Road, and in roughly chronological order:

Dear Fellow Traveller by Sea Wolf

Dear fellow traveler under the moon I saw you standing in the shadows and your eyes were blue You put your hand out, opened the door You said, "Come with me, boy, I want to show you something more"

You spoke my language and touched my limbs It wasn't difficult to pull me from myself again And in our travels, we found our roads You held it like a mirror, showing me the life I chose

Eternity by Mizz Fish

Friends like you are hard to find So I’ll stick with you til the end of the line We aren’t perfect but that’s alright

All your dreams, your passions, ambitions You’ve told them to me like a man on a mission And I’ve done the same to you many times

Somehow we made our way here just by lookin around Somehow we knew what was lost had somehow been found Because of you I knew I could be who I wanted to be without feelin a fool In front of those who don’t understand Because of you I knew that sometimes you may be hurtin But that cannot stop you from feelin deserving And following your dreams You come runnin when I fall even if I don’t make a call for help No one needs their eyes to see We’ll be friends for eternity

Trying times and metal struggles I know for a fact you’ll be there on the double Because you won’t want me to feel alone

And anytime you need someone beside you A shoulder to cry on, a friend to stay true You know I would never let you down

The Funnyman's Smile by Michael McCormic Jr.

Well, I had a dream I was trapped in a cave with nothing but a magic lamp I polished its side, and out you came with gold shackles around your hands You said, "Son, I think there's something people like you and me should know" Life is more than empty jokes and putting on a show 'Cause you can make the world smile, and get nothing in return And in the end you find that what you give is what they think you're worth Then you offered me three wishes, but I saw only one worth while" I said, "I want the chance to make the Funnyman smile Oh, give me a chance, a chance to show you"

Funnyman, you're not alone No, even when you're crying I'll be there to hold you close And tell you everything will be alright

Because doctors still need checkups Bartenders need a drink or two The funnyman, still needs to smile And these days, I do, too 'Cause all the times you made me laugh Now they feel a little colder To know that when life knocked you down You cried on your own shoulder 'Cause you can make the world forget its problems for a while But who was there to make you smile? Tell me, who was there to make the Funnyman smile? Oh, to make the Funnyman smile

Ship in a Bottle by fin

You can fit everything you know In a bottle for you to show Pick your brain apart and put it in And build it again with needles and pins Everything you have earned is a ship With blue waves crashing into it But nothing can touch your happy thoughts anymore With your glass ceiling, walls, and floor

Between My Teeth by Orla Gartland

And I-I-I bite my tongue 'Cause I don't know how to tell you I'm getting this urge to run And I-I-I bite my tongue 'Cause I don't know how to tell you Oh, you deserve someone else Who can treat you like I want to

Oh, ah, ah, please don't lean on me 'Cause I don't want your heart between my teeth I, I think I better leave 'Cause I don't want your heart between my teeth I can't take the pressure of it, I can barely breathe Ah, ah, please don't lean on me 'Cause I don't want your heart between my teeth, no

Turtles All The Way Down by Sammy Copely

See, I could choose for the both of us And you'd just go along because You've trusted me for no good reason Love no matter what the season

Force the last page of our story You're my favourite allegory Hope to god that you'll forgive me My mistakes will long outlive me Mine, mine is the unkind, kindest cut of all And I'll watch you fall

And I don't know if this makes it any easier Perhaps you'll find comfort when I say You and I are nothing more than meteors Never meant to live long past today

Yes, I'll choose for the both of us You'll just go along because You've trusted me against your judgement You deserve someone who doesn't

Force the last page of your story No more boring allegories Hope to god you'll rise above me Though you'll always be part of me Mine, mine is the unkind, kindest cut of all I'll watch you fall

Now watch me fall

And now a snippet:

“I see.  I’ll leave you to it then.  Just try not to rough anyone up too badly while you’re there.”

“Of course not.”  Unlike with this job, Sullivan had given his friend his word about certain aspects of his conduct ahead of time.  It had been long indeed since the last time his friend had simply explained a situation and left with no implication other than that they wouldn’t ask questions about what Sullivan chose to do with the information.  It was certainly one way to keep their conscience clean.  “Sleep tight,” he adds.

“I’ll try.  See you later.” 

The line goes silent but there’s no click of a hangup.

Sullivan moves to the kitchen, checks the freezer, and finds it surprisingly boring.  No stashed electronics, frozen potions, or preserved body parts.  He grabs a carton of ice cream, kicks another body out of the way so that its partially-crushed head won’t hold the door open anymore, and closes the freezer.  

Returning to the balcony, he leans over the railing, balances the carton on it and begins scooping out ice cream with a knife.  Much like the city vista below, it’s night black and speckled with glazed bits that reflect the glowing veins of light that run through it.  At least the penthouse’s late owner had good taste in something.

He glances back over his shoulder and blinks through his filters.  No significant signatures other than the already-ransacked saferoom.  He returns his gaze to the view, eats his looted ice cream and waits with his phone still up to his ear.

“Su?” his friend’s expected voice finally whispers.

“Yeah?”

“Am I a bad leader?”

“Of course not, everyone loves you.  They’d follow you anywhere.”

“But should they?”

“Hey, what brought this on?”

“This is twice now that Eris and Ashan have come back in bad shape, and every quest so far we all wind up separated.”

“That’s just a new team going through the growing pains of getting used to working together.  The point is they came back and it’s not been anything they couldn’t recover from, and you’ve been able to help everyone you’ve tried to help.  That sounds like a resounding success to me, especially for the early stages.”

Silence.

Consideration.

Waiting.

“Has this happened before?”

“Do you want me to answer that?”

“No.  I don’t think I do.  It’s just…”

Sullivan’s grip on his phone tightens.

“Just what?”

“I’ve been thinking about the gaps more than I should lately.”

“And?”  They should barely be able to think about them at all.

“The list of reasons I’d want to leave them empty is pretty short, isn’t it?”

The ice cream carton tumbles down to the streets far enough below to be another world.

“You trust me?”

“For happily ever after.”

How bitter the old joke between them is.

“This isn’t going to be another gap.  I would have tried harder to talk you out of it if I thought there was a chance of that.”

“Thanks.  I needed to hear that.”

“That’s what I’m here for.  Now get some sleep.  You’ll feel better in the morning.”

“I’ll try not to dream.”
