A literature student in your third year of university, you’ve been dreaming of having your writing published for as long as you can remember. With a perfect opportunity dangling at your fingertips, the only obstacle that stands in your way comes in the form of a ridiculously tall, stupidly handsome, and unfortunately, very talented writer by the name of Lee Heeseung. Unwilling to let your dream slip out of reach, you commit to being better than the aforementioned pain in your ass at absolutely everything.

But when a string of vampire attacks strikes close to your city for the first time in nearly two hundred years, publishing is suddenly the last thing on your mind. And, as you soon begin to discover, Heeseung may not quite be the person you thought he was.

note: this fic is my BABYYY so I really hope it’s well received and you all have a good time with it. it’s probably no surprise that still monster is one of my absolute favorite enha songs, and this story is essentially (my interpretation of) it in written form. this is going to be a multi-part story, and as of right now, the first part is almost ready to share. for now, enjoy this snippet!

⋆.˚⟡ ࣪ ˖⋆.˚⟡ ࣪ ˖⋆.˚⟡ ࣪ ˖

Crossing a dark line through the word you just penned, you sigh. 

This is the fastest you’ve put a story together in ages. It’s cohesive, and the writing is solid. Your use of metaphor is strong and concise, and the prose feels true to your identity as a writer. 

But something in you withers a bit with every new word you commit to paper. It’s not that you hate your topic. If anything, it’s just that you have no stake in it at all. It doesn't feel innovative or exciting or representative of your creativity. 

No matter how easily the words flow out of you, something about it just feels… flat. One dimensional. 

You need something new. A different angle or an alternative perspective or… Or a fresh set of eyes. 

Struck with a sudden idea, you pull out your phone, plan taking form in your mind. The literature club at your university hosts bimonthly peer review sessions, and you haven’t taken advantage of them nearly as much as you should. They’re a chance for any writer, literature major or otherwise, to come together and workshop any piece of writing of their choice. 

Tapping your finger impatiently on the table, you wait for the page to load. The fall semester did end almost a week ago, so it may be a long shot. You’re not sure if the club typically holds sessions over winter break. But as you pull up the club’s calendar of events, a small smile tugs at your lips. 

Luck seems to be on your side this time. It’s written there in plain, bold font that there will be a session this upcoming Friday evening. That means that if you attend the session and get some solid ideas for revision, you’ll have exactly five days to refine your draft before you present it to Professor Kim. 

The idea of having not only a topic, as the schedule outlined, but an actual complete,  well-written draft to show him next Wednesday, turns your small smile into one that overtakes your features. 

Energized with a new vigor, you reach for your pen again. It doesn’t have to be perfect, you remind yourself, even as a turn of phrase makes you cringe. Even as a piece of punctuation feels out of place. It just needs to be written. You just need to have as much content as you can to share on Friday. 

Besides, you’re sure that a second opinion will help you fine tune this story into something you’re proud to share, something you’re excited to attach your name to.

The afternoon is quick to blur into early evening, and you’re still bent over your favorite corner table. Coffee long drained, you’re full of a new confidence. The thought of proving yourself suddenly doesn’t seem like such an unachievable, out of reach task. 

And when you do finally gather up all of your belongings and make your way back to your apartment for the night, you’re sure that this is the exact boost you needed. 

That same stroke of self-assuredness carries you all the way through a finished first draft. It’s rough and messy and littered with loose ends, but it’s tucked away in the bottom of your tote bag with a smile as you haul it to classroom number 105 in the university liberal arts building Friday evening. 

You pause at the door to the classroom, only for a moment. The inhale you breathe in is deep, full. Nodding to yourself once, you push open the door. 

You haven’t been to one of these workshop sessions since the second semester of your first year, back when you had just switched to a literature major. You remember being wide-eyed and incredibly protective over your work. It was hard to part with it, to let anyone else read over the sentences you were so unsure of. The writing you had little confidence in. 

But your partner had been kind. Another girl in her first year, she had nothing but gentle feedback to give and reassurance that your writing was worth reading. Honestly, it was such an overwhelmingly positive experience that you would have come back for more sessions if you weren’t constantly struggling to find minutes to spare in the day. 

You’re hoping that tonight will be just as rewarding as you enter the classroom, tote bag in tow. But as you survey the space around you, your face falls flat, easy going smile dropping from your lips. 

You weren’t expecting a big crowd, considering that it is winter break and most students are deliberately avoiding campus right now, but you were hoping there’d be more than one other person in attendance. 

Well, you think, deciding to look on the bright side of things. At least you’re not the only person. 

The other attendee is sitting in the far corner of the room, occupying a desk near the front of the classroom. At the sound of your entrance, they turn to face you. 

With that, your small disappointment is quick to snowball into an intense wave of exasperation. Because why is the universe so hellbent on playing games with you?

Your mouth drops open without your permission. “Heeseung?” 

Your sudden outburst fills the room and lingers long into the awkward silence that follows. You hadn’t meant to say anything, but really, what are the god forsaken odds?

If he’s bothered by your reaction to seeing him, Heeseung doesn’t show it. Instead he looks strangely… relieved. It makes absolutely no sense for him to feel any sort of relief at the sight of you, but it’s hard to put a more apt descriptor to the way tension drains from his shoulders, crease between his brows softening as he looks at you, scans you from head to toe. 

A moment of stilted silence passes between the two of you. Another. Your heartbeat feels too loud in your chest.

You exhale, a cross between a scoff and a laugh so humorless it could freeze a flame. Weighing your options, the most tempting by far is to just turn on your heel and exit the way you came. 

Heesung seems to read your intention before you can commit to it. 

Breaking the heaviness in the atmosphere, he acts as if you’ve greeted him like an old friend, not as the source of all your recent headaches. 

“Hi,” he nods, so tentatively you almost want to let your jaw drop open in shock. Almost. 

Because what the fuck does he mean by ‘Hi?’ This has to be some kind of mind game, some way to get in your head and ruin this for you. 

“Right.” Your lips pull into a tight line. You don’t bother to return his greeting. “I’m just gonna go, then.” Hiking up your bag on your shoulder, you turn to do just that. Your first draft will just have to be unpolished. Oh, well. You’re sure Professor Kim will have better feedback for you than Lee Heeseung ever would anyway. 

Once again, Heeseung’s voice cuts across the classroom. “Wait.” There’s a command in his voice. Gentle, but firm. Insistent. So pervasive that you find yourself following without really meaning to. 

Mind made up and dead set on leaving, now you’re just annoyed. What a waste of a Friday evening.

“What?” You turn back to him. You’re not sure if there’s more venom in your voice or your eyes. 

And Heeseung, who commands a classroom with quiet grace, with his steady, unwavering presence, suddenly looks so damn unsure. As if tormenting you is uncharted territory. As if he’s never once left you in the cold with flaming cheeks and a thoroughly shattered ego. 

“I…” he trails off, not quite meeting your furious gaze. “Didn’t you come here to get feedback?”

“Right.” You scoff again. “Because I’m sure you’d love nothing more than to tear my writing to shreds. Forgive me, but I’m not interested in being the butt end of your joke tonight.”

“What?” If you didn’t know any better, the ignorance he feigns would be rather convincing. “That’s not why I’m here.” He shakes his head. “I brought something I want reviewed too.” 

Your brow arches. He can’t be serious. “Even if I did stay,” you counter, “you’re actually the last person I would want to read my work. Feel free to be offended by that, by the way.”

For a solid minute, Heeseung just looks at you. He wears that same damn deer-in-the-headlights expression he had after you brushed him off when he intercepted you in class the other day. He pauses, weighing words on his tongue. “Look, ____.” The sound of your name on his lips strikes a strange chord in you. Until now, you were certain he didn’t even know it. “Did I do something to offend—”

And no. Absolutely not. No way are you rehashing that day in the quad with him now. 

“You know what,” you interrupt. You need to go. Now. You need an out. “I’m actually, like, super tired. I think I’m just gonna head back, and—”

But then it’s his turn to cut off your train of thought. “It’s your piece for Professor Kim, isn’t it?” Heeseung takes your silence as confirmation. “Publishing is a big deal. A second set of eyes will only make your work stronger. And if you hate my feedback, it’s not like you have to use any of it.”

You hate it. You despise the way his reasoning matches your internal monologue nearly word for word. The way your thoughts align exactly. 

You pause, a decision weighing heavy on your mind. He is an excellent writer… There would probably be substance to his feedback. Real, actual, good substance that you could use to make your writing bloom into something truly amazing. He could be the exact spark you need to make your story come to life. 

You purse your lips. “What’s in it for you?”

Heesung smiles, a nearly imperceptible quirk of his lips. He knows he’s won. “Like I said, I brought something I’ve been working on.” There’s an intention you can’t quite read behind his gaze when he adds, “I want to know what you think of it.”

Hook, line, and sinker.

With a grumble, you take reluctant steps towards where he sits on the opposite side of the classroom. And if you slide down into the seat next to him with a little more force than necessary, well, it’s just because you’ve had a long week. No other reason. None at all. 

“Fine,” you relent, reaching to pull your notebook out of your bag. “You get twenty minutes.”

“That’s not nearly long eno—”

“Thirty,” you concede. “And don’t push it.”

i don’t think i’ll ever be done talking about armand songs but for now i only have one left that i need to talk about and that is how much of a loumand song “Starring Role” by Marina is

like first of all “You’re hard to hug, tough to talk to, and I never fall asleep, when you’re in my bed, all you give me is a heartbeat” is so very Dubai loumand and in particular the scene of them alone in their bedroom and how detached it felt, the chaste kiss, Armand’s longing, pleading looks. He’s getting nothing from this.

Then, “I’ve turned into a statue, and it makes me feel depressed, cause the only time you open up in when we get undressed” is both very Armand-as-Rashid with the feeling that he is less of a person and more a servant in the eyes of both Louis and Daniel, and is upset by it. The getting undressed part is interesting because it’s both carrying on from this servant act, fitting in regards to Daniel’s “rent boy” comment, he’s not really a person unless he’s having sex with someone (which oh my god just SO Armand) but ALSO his relationship with Louis outside of the Rashid act- he doesn’t feel like their relationship is anything more than a sexual relationship anyway.

Leading into “You don’t love me, big fucking deal, I’ll never tell you how I feel, You don’t love me, Not a big deal, I’ll never tell you how I feel” Louis doesn’t love him. Not since before the trial at least, its all for spite. He wants Lestat, Armand knows this, and knows he’s only with him for misplaced spite. (“It almost feels like a joke to play a part, when you are not the starring role in someone else’s heart”) But I feel like Armand staying is proof that he does love Louis, even in a twisted way. He can accept it being unreciprocated as long as he has safety and security, even if he’s miserable and will never tell Louis how he feels.

The lines “You know I’d rather walk alone, than play a supporting role, if I can’t get the starring role” I think are an oddly brilliant summary of why Armand chooses to betray Louis in Paris even if it means his death. Armand’s insecurities mean he would rather be alone and self-sabotage than be with someone that he loves that he knows would sideline him for the ghost of his ex (who is also HIS ex)

“Sometimes I ignore you, So I feel in control, Cause really I adore you and I can’t leave you alone” is very reminiscent of Armand’s emotional abuse of Louis to get what he wants (again stemming from a deep insecurity and desperation to not be alone) He can’t be without Louis, so he makes him dependant on him in several ways, then emotionally withdraws for the control it brings.

“You’re like my dad, you’d get on well, I send my best regards from Hell” is a final nail in the coffin, Armand projecting his relationship with Marius onto Louis due to his need to be in that dynamic because its all he knows and recognises as love, even if its self-destructive. Louis goes along with it far too easily, which I think triggers Armand a lot more than he consciously realises. This behaviour is deeply hurting him but he can’t realise or understand why, but has a resentment for Louis come with it even if he loves him and wants him to do it. The mention of Hell is interesting as well, with the connotations. Armand putting himself in Hell as if he was a demon, even though his “father” always called him and angel, heavenly.

“I never sang for love, I never had a heart to mend, Because before the start began, I always saw the end, Yeah, I wait for you to open up, to give yourself to me, But nothing's ever gonna give, I'll never set you free, Yeah, I'll never set you free” This entire bridge just sums up their dynamic terribly well I fear. Armand’s eternal brokenhearted-ness, his “half blank half apocalyptic” looks, doomed from the start, wishing for Louis to be the one to be with him and save him, though not letting him go even if he knows those goals are unachievable.

Marina Lambrini Diamandis somehow you wrote the PERFECT loumand song in 2012 Godbless.

WOOOOOOOOWWW THIS IS PERFECT OMG!!!! This made me stim lol, I love Mariana sm and this is amazing analysis, AHHH YESSSS!!!! Adding to my Armand playlist ASAP. The youd get on well with my dad lyrics goes CRAZY in this context ur mind is incredible.

(Since we r on the subject lol hermit the frog by Mariana is very Amadeo era Armand to me hehe)

༝ ˚ ༝ My Lady is the Sea ｡ ˚ ༝ - Prince Eric x Fem!Reader | NSFW

𖠳 ᐝ warnings: brief smut, 18+ (minors dni), unprotected sex & cursing

Sea salt tickles your nostrils as you step out onto the wooden dock. Nose twitching like a bunny to rid the salty air from your sensitive nerves. You glide forward only a few feet, and your left shin knocks into a wooden pole. A barricade lined the perimeter of the landing. Fencing that stops you from falling into the unknown below. An oil lantern illuminates a portion of the dock and the gradually darkening surface of the deep. The expansive waters lurk just beyond the fading arc of light. Your body gently sways with the sounds of the waves stirring.

Instinctively, you flex your hold on a roped handle. A heavy, disgusting mixture of beer and spit sloshes in the bucket that you have been entrusted to dump out. Polluting the ocean, you think. An unfortunately common attribute of living in a coastal town. It's second nature to dump and forget. Water appears to be along every horizon you look to. It surrounds you, yet it's ever-moving. Continuous. Traveling away.

How you wish you could be out there now. Just like your father had moons ago. Oh, the precious things he gifted you with when he returned to the marina! The carefully selected treasures. He always seemed to know which new object would earn an excited squeal from you because of its sparkles or funky shape. Whispers at bedtime of now fictitious-sounding tales on how he acquired them. To you, his trips were like storybooks. Too embarrassing to admit, you used to go to sleep late into your teens with visions of exploration dancing in your head. Dreaming of the uncharted waters and cloudy faces of the friends you'd make. He'd promise to you, that you would soon be old enough to explore the world with him.

But you couldn't truly treasure the last retelling of his adventures because no one foresaw he would leave it on a cliffhanger. He never came back. Your mother forbade you from speaking of his expeditions as time passed. "Don't go towards the beyond." "This is your home." "You're safe here." she chided. Here, on land. The hope soon ended with the stories. You grew accustomed to the familiar. You were raised here. It's all you have known. Is it worth it to leave at this point?

However, there are instances when you fall back into childlike wonder. In the quiet lulls, similar to the brink of falling asleep, you can't help but contemplate what else the waters hold past their horizons.

༝ ˚ ｡⋆ 𓇼 ⋆｡ ˚ ༝

A faint, muffled tune begins inside and wafts out into the silence. The merry-sounding song envelops you. You blink out of the reverie to adjust your vision in the darkness.

You can hear the pub's piano, in desperate need of a tuning, as you push open the door. A gaggle of men are singing a sea shanty in the dining space. They look disheveled but have dancing smiles. You can't help grinning as you watch these men celebrate life.

“Just docked," Gwen, your co-worker, calls from over her shoulder. She fills up two cups and then slides them over the bar top towards one of the waiting men. He slaps a few coins down and moves back to the crowd, like rejoining a school of fish.

Gwen wipes up the liquid he left, “I heard one of them holler that they came in from the Carribean.”

“I feel like that's only the third ship from around there this season."

"How do you manage to even keep track? There have to have been hundreds of vessels that have passed through here."

You blushingly shrug at her knowing smirk. Teasingly, her fingers reach out to flick at your slightly tarnished necklace. A chain made from Spanish silver with a locket bearing some type of ruby gem.

Leonardo was the one who had graced you with this last year. He was a buccaneer. He and his crew docked in town for a fortnight. He was charming and proud. In the tavern, he was always drunkenly boasting about the treasures he had found. The people he'd fought. The Lords he'd impressed. The people he'd fucked. He was so fun.

When your birthday happened around the time he was in town, he came stumbling into the bar with this necklace. He said it was nothing and that he had dozens of more valuable findings in a chest on board his ship. But he never showed you to prove that to be true. However, you did thank him ever so graciously that night.

He sailed out a day later. No harbor was his home. You're used to this life working as a bartender in a popular trading port. You see hundreds of thousands of faces. All of these handsome men ranged from sailors to buccaneers. They all share with you the amazing stories of their lives. They fascinated you. Inspired you. Seduced you. - You can't help but be attracted to the rugged, good-looking, and ambitious type.

A man unexpectedly calls out from the crowd towards the pair of you. His voice grabs your attention like a Siren's song. There were too many bodies to place where it was coming from in the mass of people, but you swear you briefly saw a hand in the air on the left side of the room.

“My lovely bar maidens, a round of your finest ale, please, yeah?"

“Right away, sir,” you nod curtly while pivoting obediently to fill the dregs.

༝ ˚ ｡⋆ 𓇼 ⋆｡ ˚ ༝

The rosy-cheeked, rowdy men cheer even louder as you approach with their fifth round of booze. Their attention has been won, not by the promise of refreshments, but by the beer sloshing over the rims and onto the pair of bouncing breasts carrying it all.

Low whistles scatter around the table at your cleavage while you lean over to set down the ale. Mucky hands grabbing for the foaming tankards. You catch a handsome man staring through the limbs. He gives you a dimpled smirk. His eyes betray him as they glimpse down to what you can assume is your chest. Well, he's no better than any man.

Your retreating form hears the same voice from before exclaim, “Here is to another voyage through uncharted waters! I am grateful for all your hard work, boys. And thanks to Grimsby for laying off the scolding because we're three days past schedule."

You're back at the bar. A crewmate, with a red kerchief pushing back his straw-yellow hair, heaves an overfilled mug in the air toward the handsome man,

"And a special thanks to our Captain, whose mother would keel over from learning the adventures her dear boy has taken us on. Prince Eric!"

"Prince Eric," they unanimously cheer!

Together, as they collide their drinks, fat drops of the golden liquid splash onto Prince Eric's tunic and wet his chest. The strings of his shirt are untied. Making the neck loosely hang open with his chest hair on full display. Your eyes are drawn to it. Tracing the outline of his defined pecs through the thin fabric. You're no better than a man. Worst yet, he notices you staring. His stare seems to darken, and he motions his mug towards you as a 'cheers' gesture before returning focus to his companions.

Clearing your throat and dirty mind, you turn back to tend to one of your regulars, a local fisherman slumped over on a stool at the end of the bar.

༝ ˚ ｡⋆ 𓇼 ⋆｡ ˚ ༝

Eric strides over as you scrub up the beer rings on the bar, left by the patrons who previously occupied the empty stools. He fluidly pulls one out to sit and drums his fingers along the wood. Blue eyes staring you down for a third time tonight,

"Can I get you anything?”

“I think I should take a breather. My crew is too enthusiastic to get me drunk.”

“Sounds like you're having a bad night." He threw back his head and let out a loud laugh. Admittedly, it was too big of a reaction to that poor joke attempt. You wring out your rag into a nearby bucket to hide your smile.

You wait for a beat before sparing him another glimpse. He’s staring at your chest again. You feel the exposed skin warm under his look. You’re tempted to peek down to see how much this corset is causing you to spill out.

“Did you get it locally?

“Sorry?”

"The necklace," he half-gestures towards you.

You clasp at the pendant, "Oh, this."

He nods with his eyes fixed on your chest a moment longer before moving up to your face. His cheeks are flushed and eyes hooded, assumedly, from the pints he and his crew have slung back. You're moving toward him, holding out the chain to let him get a closer look.

“I think it’s from the Spanish Islands. A pirate passing through last season gave it to me.”

His large hand reaches out to replace yours. “It’s beautiful. I have an eye for treasures like this.”

He's so close like this. You watch his eyes flick around the locket, his fingers tracing over the gems, and the way his dark curls fall as he tilts his head to examine.

“Silly me to think anything else. Here I thought you were just checking out my chest.”

“Well, you do have wonderful tits," he absentmindedly states. He leaves you gaping as he pulls back.

"Thank you for letting me have a look. I'd be rather fond of that if I were you. That's a special gift."

"Y-yeah, but given to me by a not-so-special guy," you shrug.

You sense an awkward pause, but he watches you with a soft, dimpled smile. You motion towards the window out to the harbor, “Which one is yours?”

“The biggest one. Naturally.”

You stifle your giggle and notice a boat at the end of the port. Beautiful and massive.

“Wow, you weren't kidding. What's it like up there?"

"On the boat? You work in a marina. Have you ever been on one?”

“Oddly, no.”

He didn't hide his shock.

“I'm sorry. Are you telling me that summer lover could give you a necklace but decided not to show you his deck?”

“Something like that," you lean onto the bar, "How unfortunate for me, right?"

His hand strikes the top of the bar as he rises from the stool, causing you to flinch.

“Well, that simply just won't do! Do you want to come see mine?"

The lamplight and mischievousness dance in his eyes, "I can give you the grand tour.”

“Will you let me spin the wheel?”

"Only the most skilled helmsmen are allowed to touch," he pouts, then that damned smile graces his lips again, "but I think I may be able to bend the rules for you."

“I’m going on break,” you call to Gwen before following the handsome voyager outside.

༝ ˚ ｡⋆ 𓇼 ⋆｡ ˚ ༝

"And, this would be the Captain's quarters."

"Oh, Captain Eric?"

He sheepishly rubs at the back of his neck, "I don't particularly like going by titles. Makes me feel like I'm trying to say I'm more important than others. I swear by my men. We venture out for fun, but I'd be stuck at port without them."

"That is a very noble thing to say, Prince Eric."

"Come off it," he laughs while moving over to a table against one of the walls. Eric picks up what appears to be a rock. He turns the object in his hands before showing you.

"Fossilized sea stone. Found it off the coast of my home island."

He places the textured stone in your open palms. The unexpected weight of it doubles you over, but Eric catches you. His hand lingers on your hip.

He proceeds to tell you about the rest of his findings laid out on the surface. You love the way his face lit up. Making himself exhilarated with his own stories. You listen intently and let yourself live vicariously through his retellings.

༝ ˚ ｡⋆ 𓇼 ⋆｡ ˚ ༝

Eric locks an ornate chest up as you watch. Sitting on the table now cleared of his glories. “So, are you considered a sailor, explorer, or just a guy with a boat and a lot of time on his hands?”

Eric laughs, "The last one, for sure. Once I turned nineteen, my mother allowed me to venture out and sail with the crew. I've always loved the idea of discovering something new on my voyages. Whether it be places, possessions, or people."

He's moving into your space, "I am happy to have met you, Y/N."

"And I, you, Prince Eric."

"No titles here." He leans in with a hint of a grin in his whisper, "I forbid it."

"Oh, that sounds like a command, and I shall obey, Your Majesty."

He chuffs as you see his eyes drop to your necklace again. His fingers dance along the silver chain before exploring further and grazing over the top of your chest. He makes sure to peek up at you for some sort of permission. Silently, you put your hand over his own to guide him to grab a handful of your breast. Eric takes the cue and squeezes while closing the gap between you with a kiss that immediately heats up. Hands knead your breasts over your camisole-corset top.

"And here I thought you've been admiring my necklace all night. I feel scandalized," you tease while he kisses your neck.

"No, no, it is beautiful! But, these," His calloused hands give a reassuring squeeze, "are really lovely."

Hands quickly work to pull down your blouse to expose your tits. Eric rolls a nipple between his forefinger and thumb. Gasping, you arch up into his touch. Legs instinctively spread wider to allow him in. You feel his dick twitch the moment he presses closer.

A moan growls in the back of his throat as he rolls his hips. Grinding his hard-on into your wetting core while you kiss. Your skin grows hot, his breaths come heavy, and the heat is building between your legs. 

Eric put his mouth to your breast, sucking at your skin in obscene, open-mouthed kisses. Eliciting a low keening sound from you. He withdrew just enough to lave at your nipple, back and forth, over and over, until your pussy thrummed to the same beat.

"Is it very unprincely of me to tell you that I would very much like to fuck you right here, now, in my chambers?"

"You are but a man, my Prince."

༝ ˚ ｡⋆ 𓇼 ⋆｡ ˚ ༝

Your body was thrown across the desk. You don’t know where to put your hands, so they grip and scrape at the wooden surface while Eric fucks into you.

He has a firm hold on your naked waist. Keeping your long skirt hiked up to your stomach so he could watch himself penetrate you. He has a brutally harsh pace going. The delicious feel of the drag and pull of his cock.

Eric braces himself on the desk. A toned arm flexes next to your head. His face is now closer to yours as he changes the angle of his hips. With the newfound support, you feel him speed up his thrusting. He groans into your chest. Playfully biting a nipple before kissing up to your neck. His movements were enough to bring you dangerously close to reaching your high in only a few minutes.

"Oh, Prince Eric," you whine.

"Fuck." His hips stutter. "What's my name?"

"Captain Eric. Eric. Eric. "

A wave of bliss hits you and you screw your eyes shut. It doesn’t take long before both of you reach your orgasms. You hold onto Eric's biceps with all your might, as you scream his name. No doubt loud enough for everyone in the tavern to hear.

༝ ˚ ｡⋆ 𓇼 ⋆｡ ˚ ༝

At dawn, you're re-dressed and carefully creeping over the creaky floorboards. Trying not to wake any of the still-drunk crewmates who had found their way back onto the ship.

Catching your eye, the silver locket, sat on the once-empty desk, glints in the daybreak. Eric's back rises and falls. The rest of his bare body is covered by the messy bedsheets. Blissfully oblivious of your exit.

You let that sleeping form be your final image of the handsome Prince and disembark the Royal ship.

Since MARINA (And The Diamonds) won the last poll, here is Lords Of Chaos characters as MARINA (And The Diamonds) songs <3

Øystein // Are You Satisfied?

I was pulling out my hair the day I got the deal, chemically calm. Was I meant to feel happy that my life was just about to change? One life pretending to be the cat who got the cream.

Oh, everybody said, "Marina is a dreamer." People like to tell you who you're gonna be, it's not my problem if you don't see what I see. And I do not give a damn if you don't believe.

My problem, is my problem that I never am happy. It's my problem, it's my problem on how fast I will succeed. High achiever, don't you see? Baby, nothing comes for free.

They say I'm a control freak, driven by a greed to succeed. Nobody can stop me. 'Cause it's my problem if I wanna pack up and run away. It's my problem if I feel the need to smoke and drink and sway.

It's my problem if I feel the need to hide. Are you satisfied with an average life? Do I need to lie to make my way in life? Sad inside, in this life. Unsatisfied, praying. Unsatisfied, waiting.

Are you satisfied with an easy ride? Once you cross the line, will you be satisfied?

Varg // Lies

You're never gonna love me, so what's the use? What's the point in playing a game you're gonna lose? What's the point in saying you love me like a friend? What's the point in saying it's never gonna end?

You're too proud to say that you made a mistake, you're a coward 'til the end. I don't wanna admit that we're not gonna fit. No, I'm not the type that you like. Why don't we just pretend?

You only ever touch me in the dark. Only if we're drinking, can you see my spark? And only in the evening, could you give yourself to me? 'Cause the night is your woman and she'll set you free.

Lies, don't wanna know. I can't let you go, I just want it to be perfect. To believe it's all been worth the fight. Lies, don't wanna know, don't wanna know.

Pelle // You

You don't know me like you think you do. You don't own me, but I can't cut you loose. Everybody thinks that you're a star, but underneath, I see just what you are.

We both know that we can never change, walking slowly through the smoke and flames. Yeah, you break me down. Yeah, you shut me out. But it's all about you.

I know what you're about, but I need you now 'cause it's all about you. You don't love me like you think you do, you don't know that I'm just as bad as you.

Everybody thinks that I'm the heart of every party, but it's just the start. Deep down, I know that we're just the same, burning slowly through the dust and flames.

Fenriz // Venus Fly Trap

Whatever you give life, you will get back. Why be a wallflower when you can be a Venus Fly Trap? I never quite fit into that Hollywood thing, I didn't play that game for the money or the fame.

I did it my way, baby. Nothing in this world could change me. Don't underestimate me 'cause one day, you're gonna see you're in a losing battle. Babe, you'll never stop me being me.

Got the power, hold the reins. I should be motherfuckin' crazy, nothing in this world could change me. I sacrificed it all for a life to call mine, all the love and security to be myself.

I know that money ain't important and it don't mean you're the best, but I earned it all by myself and I'm a millionairess. They'll shame you, blame you, pretend to even hate you.

Take away your rights, pacify you with their lies. Whatever you give life, you are gonna get it back. Why be a wallflower when you can be a Venus Fly Trap?

Hellhammer // Weeds

Could have filled a garden with all the flowers that you gave me, but none of them were ours. You know the problem with history, it keeps coming back like weeds.

And when nothing feels enough, at least you taught me how to love. But he keeps growing back. Baby, just open your eyes to see. He's growing from inside me.

And I just don't know what I can do, I thought I cut him at the root. I miss all of my exes, they're the only ones that know me. And God knows that sex is a way to feel a little bit less lonely.

I tried to keep it covered up, but now I think my time is up 'cause he keeps growing back

Necrobutcher // Too Afraid

I wanna change, but I don't know how. I've been trying to turn my life around. I've been to every party, every bar. Nothing thrills me in this city anymore.

I guess I didn't know if I was happy. I can't pretend. Been feeling like I don't belong and I see I've reached an end. What can I do? I hate this city, but I stay 'cause of you.

Well, why can't I change? I wanna move on, but I'm just too afraid. Just too afraid, that's why I stay. Get on the train, I go underground. People look so lonely with eyes turned down.

This isn't living, this isn't how I thought my life would be, but I need to get out. Nothing's gonna change the way I feel, I can't pretend, I've reached an end.

I wanna move on, but I'm just too afraid. It could all be different. In this life, change your future in an instant. Ah, just to feel alive.

Occultus // Soft To Be Strong

I know it's hard to be soft, I know it hurts to be kind. I know that when love is lost, it's only fear in disguise. And I guess I've known it all along, the truth is you have to be soft to be strong.

Finally, I feel the fear is gone. I found out love has to be soft to be strong. I believe the world is beautiful, only the weak ones are cruel. I choose to love you without fear, no shame in being sincere.

And I made myself believe other people wanted to hurt me. I took my bitterness and made it sweet, I took a broken heart and made it beat. Somebody hurt me long ago.

And though to heal a heart is slow, it's just a consequence of pain. There is no use in laying blame.

Faust // Froot

I've seen seasons come and go, from winter sun to summer snow. This ain't my first time at the rodeo. Good things come to those who wait, but I ain't in a patient phase.

It's summer time and I hang on the vine, they're gonna make me into sweet red wine. Hanging around like a fruit on a tree, waiting to be picked. Come on, cut me free.

Come on, fill your cup up. Looking for some good luck, good luck to you. Living la dolce vita, life couldn't get much sweeter. Don't you give me a reason that it's not the right season.

Babe, I love you a lot. I'll give you all I've got. Yeah, you know that it's true. I've been saving all my summers for you, like fruit.

Sweet like honeysuckle late at night. Leave it too long, I'll go rot like an apple you forgot. Birds and worms will come for me, the cycle of life is complete.

I'm your carnal flower, I'm your bloody rose. Pick my petals off and make my heart explode. I'm your deadly nightshade, I'm your cherry tree. You're my one true love, I'm your destiny.

Autumn, I'll be gone. Birds will sing their mourning song. Oh, my body is ready for your love. Oh, my branches are heavy. I've been saving all my summers for you like fruit.

Attila // Numb

One track mind like a goldfish, stuck inside my petri-dish. I can't breathe and I can't smile, this better be worth my while. I feel numb most of the time.

Lower I get, the higher I'll climb and I will wonder why. I got dark only to shine, looking for the golden light. Oh, it's a reasonable sacrifice. Forego families, forego friends. It's how it started, how it ends.

I can't open up and cry 'cause I've been silent all my life. I get dark and I'm in hell, I need a friend, but I can't yell. I'm no good to anyone 'cause all I care about is being number one.

I got dark only to shine and I'll light up the sky. Stars that burn the brightest fall so fast and pass you by, cough like empty lighters. I feel numb most of the time. Stars that burn the brightest fall so fast and pass you by, spark like empty lighters.

Manheim // Rootless

I'm a cloud drifting by, dripping tears from the sky. I'm a snail without a shell, a leper with a golden bell. I've got nowhere to go. I'm a stray cat on the roam, choking on a chicken bone.

For a home sweet home, no sweet home. For a root, for a leaf, for a branch, for a tree. For something, somebody, that reminded them of me.

Running with my roots pulled up, caught me cold so they could cut what there was left of love. I'm rootless. Work your fingers to the bone, building castles out of snow.

I'm a nomad walking on, humming to the same old song. Lower case society, tight to no community. A kingdom without a king, with no sense of belonging.

Tracking my roots through the snow. No home sweet and no sweet home. I've got nowhere to go, I'm rootless.

Metalion // Orange Trees

I can see the flowers and the greenery. I take a breath of air, I feel free. Spent so long, was busy chasing happiness when all I needed was a little peace.

Try to get back what we need, living like we're supposed to be. Flowers in my hair, I belong by the sea. Where we used to be, sitting by the orange trees. Summer in the air, bodies in the heat. Just you and me, sitting by the orange trees.

So far away from neon lights and city streets, this is where I used to dream. Been around the world, but I could never replicate the feeling that I get beneath my feet.

Watch the sun go down into the sea, wrap your love around me. Life is beautiful and now you see, this is how it feels to be free.

Blackthorn // Living Dead

Every day, I feel the same, stuck and I can never change. Sucked into a black balloon, spat into an empty room. Was it really worth it? Did I really deserve it?

I haven't lived life, I haven't lived love. Just a bird's eye view from the sky above. I'm dead, I'm living dead. Got bubble wrap around my heart, waiting for my life to start.

But every day, it never comes, permanently at square one. When it's late at night, I'm so dissatisfied. The weight of an empty life will lessen in the moonlight.

I lay back in a glittering mist and I think of all the men I could've kissed. I haven't live my life, I haven't lived love. Only alive when I pretend that I have died.

Ann-Marit // Shampain

Lay dagger dead inside a lonely bed, trying to hide the hole inside my head. Watching the stars slide down to reach their end 'cause sleep is not my friend.

Drinking champagne to forget yesterday 'cause I remember the way it ended the day that I walked away. Drinking champagne made by the angel who goes by the name of Glittering Gabriel.

Drinking champagne made of an angel's tears and pain, now I feel celestial. Elderly stars slide down the lonely sky, slipping away to find a place to die.

I wonder when the night will reach its end 'cause sleep is not my friend. Drinking champagne meant for a wedding, toast to the bride, a fairytale ending. Drinking champagne, a bottle to myself, save the taste of fabricated wealth.

If you're reading this, it means i broke my promise of not trying a third time and uploaded the playlist without the songs that caused the previous videos to be blocked; and, like i said in the description of the current video, there are A FUCK TON of songs in which couldn't make it to said video

I decided to post the full list of songs in here so you guys could make your own private playlist; and again, like i said in the description of that video, i have separated the songs into categories in case any of you want to understand how my character analysis affects the playlist, since i don't plan on making a video or post talking about my character analysis on Goldie

I'll also be adding the images to mark each category and color coding the songs that are in the video and the songs that aren't

[alu3e]

connecting more songs to lotr + hobbit :) this is a thing i do to pass time so its not very well made. also really tired atm but cant sleep

1. i am an english language hater and all mistakes are out of pure spite. its not my first language. im also a grammar hater.

2. i take everything literally when it comes to this. it might not be the meaning in the song but im doing this my way.

3. probably dosent make much sense. i usually dont do full songs so its lots of skipping between some lines i think fit (or just a song that fits the vibe tbh)

4. mostly movie based? havent gotten far into the books yet

2 songs + link to my other ones (this is nr 2)

oh no! - marina

before anything this one is dedicated to my bestest friend ever!! thanks jay for letting me ruin your favourite song

this ones about frodo please tell me you guys see it as well. im very literal word to word about this one so sorry for that :,)

im only after success:

frodo + gollum fighting over the ring sort of in mount doom, when he cant destroy it (what are you waiting for scene you get it, very movie based here) and all that

i just want to make a change, i just wanna change:

saying he will take the ring to mordor, and then 'i wish the ring had never come to me' (and the books 'i wish it need not happen in my time' or whatever the fuck he says) come on guys

i know exactly what i want and who i want to be:

queue the whole i think frodo is still in love with the shire thing, come ON. please. hes still in love with the shire and little rivers and then after the whole thing he goes back to the shire and it isnt right and everything i dont really have the words to explain this but i think you get it.

i know exactly why i walk and talk like a machine:

the ring making him do things he wouldnt. come on cause he wouldnt send sam away if not for that. and gollum and shit on that last note but you know. the ringggg the rinnggggg

im now becoming my own self fulfilled prophecy:

i will take the ring to mordor!!!! he fulfilled that!!!! and also theres this one part i cant remember fully right now but i think its gandalf who goes bilbo was ment to find the ring and you were also ment so like. you know. he fulfilled that by living. I think thats what self fulfilling means atleast otherwise i stand by my first point.

one track mind, one track heart, if i fail ill fall apart, maybe it is all a test:

this one isnt so clear to me but i couldnt leave it out,, its just screaming to me but i cant come up with a good connection

if you are not very careful, your possessions will possess you:

THE RINNGGGG. this part is what made me do this in the first place. come on its so clear it screams the one ring a deaf person could hear it. ex, bilbo scene in rivendell. mount doom when he cant drop it. the list goes ON. I could make this about the arkenstone as well but thats for another time!!

tv taught me how to feel, now real life has no appeal:

the ring still. very much ring.

it has no appeal:

coming back to the shire and home (movie ending) where it hasent changed and it could all be home again but it ISNT because *frodo* had changed.

1 2 skip a few...

im gonna fail, gonna die, die, die, die..

this one is just because i like the line tbh. ringwraiths thing where hes stabbed? mount doom? whatever you want.

thats oh no! i really like this one its the one with most obvious connections for me.

time will change you - the crane wives

this one has both a bagginshield verison and a frodo verison, so 1st one is frodo and 2nd is bagginshield :) these ones arent very well thought out so sorry hshshsj

frodo verison:

something hurts, something aches, something bends until it breaks:

frodos journey to mordor and everything like that. the ring weighing down and breaking him yk having to sail and shit. also ringwraith stab but eh i like ring more.

its only time that tortures you:

how it went down over time and got worse and worse?

youll leave behind what dosent move:

i guess like, the other hobbits. not really making sense here but leaving them to sail away, and they dont. sam does i guess but he still left them. their journeys didnt change them (as severely) ((dont quote me on that)) so they had to leave so i guess thats what is the 'dosent move:.

we all outgrow our roots:

this one just totally dosent make sense, but the 'in his heart he still loves the shire' thing again.

aint that the way it always goes:

bilbo and then frodo. all these guys going on adventures and boyfriends and tragic shit wtf man.

just relax and believe that this will pass:

(movie ending heavy) coming back to shire and believing it will be alright but still its not the shire that has changed its frodo that has changed. again btw

leave your love in a grave:

leaving sam to sail

bagginshield version:

something hurts, something aches:

thorin being all changed obviously that would hurt, i mean hello 'the dwarf i met in bag end' (waves hands frantically)

something bends until it breaks, its only time that tortures you:

dragon sickness (i love dragging things to the dragon sickness i just noticed)

planting hearts in a grave (pray they grow after it rains):

well bagginshield was always doomed wasent it. plant your trees. they are everything but they are just a grave after all no.

someday time will change you:

dragon sickness and thorin changing when they got closer to the mountain and getting in and all that shit and smaug you know. not really but hey.

we all outgrow our roots:

did he though? if you think of the roots as thror and that sickness being passed down no he didnt really. but also yeah, getting out of it and rallying (is that what its called? pretty sure its what bilbo says in batfa) and wanting to part from bilbo in friendship (totally gay)

aint that the way it always goes:

kinda bag end feelings here? bilbo not being sure he would come back and if he did he would be changed. also push in balin here i saw someone mention that he didnt wanna do the quest and everything and when thorin says 'the wealth of our people lies unprotected' you can see he just KNOWS what will happen. idk who originally pointed this out that i saw but all credits to that person. (if it wasnt just me that missed this obvious thing even after rewatching a million times then go and look at it cause i like that he just knows what will happen with the sickness and everything oh balin i love you)

give me a chance to get this right:

i want to part from you in friendship hellOOO. ENTIRE death scene.

leave your love in a grave:

bilbo!!

this is all I have right now :) the bagginshield one really hit me like a rock cause i realised most of it as I was writing?

hobsartaglet said that the crane wives just followed the company and wrote songs about them and i TOTALLY agree. btw im your biggest fan if you see this hi in my heart i am just a fangirl

anyways thanks for reading and heres a link to the other songs i have connected:

On Repeat Playlist Tag Game

Rules: Shuffle your repeat playlist 10 times and tag 10 people. Tagged by @flymmsy 😘

If you've ever wanted to laugh at my musical tastes, no better opportunity now, folks!

I know a lot of you guys are within the venn diagram of shared/mutual fandoms, so what I'll do for this (to make things interesting) is assign a pairing for each song and a wee rationale as to why ;)

Tagging: @defira85 @atypicalacademic @dirty-bosmer @henbased @braindancer @feykiller @vasiktomis @circlejourney @chickenparm @sweatandwoe (sorry if you've been tagged before!)

SHEPARD / GARRUS (Mass Effect) Okay, Reina's technically not 'Shepard', and this is a big cheat because Jeon Somi is her voice claim haha. Definitely a song she's released out of spite when Garrus all but disappeared to play vigilante on Omega ;)

MARTIN SEPTIM / MARINA CORVUS (TES IV: Oblivion) Listen, listen, this song is so perfectly them it actually kind of hurts a lot. To people that surrounded Martin, Emperor-to-be, Marina was exactly the kind of troublemaker they needed him to stay away from. But to Brother Martin the man made of flesh? She was everything to him uwu

GORTASH / DURGE (Baldur's Gate III) Come on now, the lyrics are PERFECT for a Durge lamenting about the big dumb crush she's got on Enver and oh my god? He likes her back? (She says, kicking her feet in the air, after a bloody massacre, much to Sceleritas Fel's dismay)

MAYOR HANCOCK / LEE (Fallout 4) UGH oh my god so I know Lee Know from Stray Kids is his faceclaim but this song is very much them. Wanting to run away, seeking freedom where they can take it? Not wanting to take shit for all the crap that's been thrown their way? Yeah <3 Maybe for a modern AU <3

GORTASH / DARK URGE (Baldur's Gate III) It's not cheating! If Kill! Kill! Kill! was from Durge's perspective, I can see this being from Gortash's perspective (the fact this is one genuine emo/alt??? perfect for Gorty's aging rockstar look). Like come on, it's in the name, the lyrics, the screamo bridge? Davey Havok knows what's up.

ONMUND / ALREK (TES V: Skyrim) Oh man. Oh man so this particular album from Bastille has been very Onmund/Alrek coded to me (for reasons I won't get into yet ;D) But this is very much like Alrek watching the world quite literally burn and the only thing he can think of is courting the cute mage and throwing all his cares into the wind. After all, when the world's ending, why does any of it matter?

CAPT DELACOURT / MC (Heart of a Sky Pirate) Hey, my otome game officially lives on an app, so this counts ;D But these more upset, shanty-esque songs definitely reminds me of Delacourt and his romance route. Throwing your cares to the wind (literally) and having a grand ol' time no matter where the adventure takes you.

F!SOLE SURVIVOR / CURIE (Fallout 4) Hear me out: I think Parker's (my sole) romance with Curie is almost highschool puppy love. And it doesn't help that they both have some pretty huge baggage that they need to work through-- so having someone to lean on and love in a way that's easy, carefree and happy? Yeah they're gonna hold onto that <3

STELLE / MARCH 7TH (Honkai: Star Rail) Forever crying that my Caelus is getting so many better pulls than my Stelle, but fwiw, I definitely think Stelle and March have a very fun, easy-going relationship. Kinda need to when you're Trailblazing across the galaxy in a giant space train (and angering gods along the way, oops!)

GALE DEKARIOS / TAV (Baldur's Gate III) Hear me out: I think these two would be so into each other in the way that they absolutely would not leave each other alone. You think Astarion/Tav is bad? These two have it worse. To be more precise, my Tav for this romance, Rae, is very much into exploring his romantic curiosities with Gale. No one else makes him feel as safe and wanted uwu

THE EUROVISION 2024 RANKING!

The time has finally come for me to rank the Eurovision songs we have this year. But before I do, I do want to make a couple of points because there are, I feel, a couple important comments that need to be made.

For one, you'll notice that I ranked only 35 countries while the list has 37 songs. There are 2 countries that should not be competing this year, and I decided not to include them in my ranking or any other posts I make here on Aijamisespava, especially as a heavily opinion-based platform. Second, this was a REALLY hard year to rank. So if you see a song ranked super low, it's not that I hate it (I don't really hate any of these songs), it's just I liked some more than others. And finally, I won't be providing explanations for my rankings quite yet. I have a fun 2023 vs. 2024 post for next week planned where I will explain things.

Ready? Set? Here are the first Aijamisespava Eurovision Rankings!

35. Finland: "No Rules!" by Windows95Man 34. Latvia: "Hollow" by Dons 33. Albania: "Titan" by Besa 32. Cyprus: "Liar" by Silia Kapsis 31. Ireland: "Doomsday Blue" by Bambie Thug 30. Luxembourg: "Fighter" by Tali 29. Sweden: "Unforgettable" by Marcus & Martinus 28. Netherlands: "Europapa" by Joost Klein 27. Austria: "We Will Rave" by Kaleen 26. Australia: "One Milkali (One Blood)" by Electric Fields 25. Iceland: "Scared Of Heights" by Hera Björk 24. Germany: "Always On The Run" by Isaak 23. Malta: "Loop" by Sarah Bonnici 22. Czechia: "Pedestal" by Aiko 21. Moldova: "In The Middle" by Natalia Barbu 20. United Kingdom: "Dizzy" by Olly Alexander 19. Spain: "Zorra" by Nebulossa 18. Greece: "Zari" by Marina Satti 17. Portugal: "Grito" by Iolanda 16. Armenia: "Jako" by Ladaniva 15. Estonia: "(Nendest) narkootikumidest ei tea me (küll) midagi" by 5MIINUST & PUULUUP 14. Italy: "La Noia" by Angelina Mango 13. Ukraine: "Teresa & Maria" by alyona alyona/Jerry Heil 12. Denmark: "Sand" by Saba 11. Switzerland: "The Code" by Nemo 10. France: "Mon Amour" by Slimane 9. Poland: "The Tower" by Luna 8. Lithuania: "Luktelk" by Silvester Belt 7. Georgia: "Firefighter" by Nusta 6. Slovenia: "Veronika" by Raiven 5. San Marino: "11:11" by Megara 4. Norway: "Ulveham" by Gåte 3. Croatia: "Rim Tim Tagi Dim" by Baby Lasagna 2. Serbia: "Ramonda" by Teya Dora 1. Belgium: "Before The Party's Over" by Mustii

Final Verdict: This year started off a tad underwhelming. Maybe this was my saltiness at my national final winners not winning. However, as I listened to some songs more and more, I started really liking a lot of the entries. And then the internally selected songs came out and I was utterly blown away by some of the songs we got. Was this a good year? Absolutely. I can't wait to see all these songs fight it all out in May! *oh yeah, may I note that my opinions may change? My winner has been flip flopping between Serbia and Belgium for a while and may continue to do so until the end of time*

Congrats to Belgium for winning my personal Eurovision so far, and scoring their 2nd victory in my rankings (having been my winner for 2015).

Okay, I'm gonna go now, bye!

Winx club playslists

Someone liked it so here we go, all my winx playslists songs + reasons

Imma just... Go ahead and tag those who encourage me, hehe-

@h-doodles @theguythatdraws @prancingpixie

Group Playlist:

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1A5ssSjVPbpd35kjVPMNMD?si=4ca30869ea514dd5

Kids in the corner- Arguably the best thing to come from Fate the winx saga. Just the misfits, found family stepping up vibes

Alright- Montage song vibes, definetely something they blast while training

Home- “ Oh, home, let me come home. Home is wherever I'm with you. Oh, home, let me come home. Home is wherever I'm with you.” Need I say more?

Meet me at our spot-  Again, the found family vibes + the excitement yet fear of growing up

Lotta true crime- They literally became the next company of light and are an all girls group. I don’t need to say anymore-

Twin size mattress- Their own emotional baggage, trauma, how they found solice in one each other

Sports- Again, just found family vibes

Marlboro nights- Montage vibes

boho days- Montage vibes

Glory and gore- They were literal freshman when they fought an army of decay- and they saved the entire universe multiple times.. Yeah the girls are badass warriors

Tonight Tonight- But at the end of the day they are also just teenagers trying to enjoy themselves in a world that seems determined to force them to grow up too quickly

I can feel it- Montage, stupid teen vibes

Freaks-Found family, group of misfits

Then there’s of course the individual playslists;

Bloom:

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/18trVd42Z2FxcVIFEV5AoQ?si=a8af770a5ff94668

Bones-Magic that has always been crackling under-well, her bones. Plus there is no way she always had good control of her magic.

Jenny (i wanna ruin our friendship)- Her and Selena were definetely into each other, i’m just saying- and if not Selena, she definetely had a crush on Stella and/or Flora at one point.

Back in school- Let’s get one thing straight- an adopted kid who’s quiet with a hyperfixation on fairies as a teen- Bloom got bullied and got panic attacks whenever vacations were about to end, i’m not wrong-

Waiting on a miracle- Now hear me out on this- Mirabel’s desire for a mriacle like the rest of her family, Bloom waiting for the miracle that’s control of her powers or atleast to be able to understand them

Runnin’ - ... Bloom canonically ran away from Alfea 5+ times, it just felt fitting-

Carry on wayward son- Honestly I at first added this one cause... my sister loves supernatural but the first lines do actually fit! Except Bloom is carrying on Daphne’s power, the dragon flame, and come on- “There’ll be peace when you are done. Lay your weary head to rest, don’t you cry no more.” That’s Daphne talking to Bloom right there-

Look who’s inside again- Again, Bloom before meeting Stella

Are you satisfied- All these girls are Marina coded- But jokes aside, even if she always wanted to be a fairy, there’s still fear and nerves in there too. Homegirl felt like she didn’t belong in that school for weeks-if not two whole months when she first started

You’re gonna go far, kid- She did as a matter of fact- go far- Plus come on “see them running for their lives” when she has full control over the great dragon and kicked ass in the season 1 finale

American idiot- Bloom grew up on earth and... idk i just felt like it fit- And Mike is definetely a Green day and metallica fan so there-

Stella:

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5G3IfiIY4iwZeU8lrCJUGB?si=2ca97c37049a47e8

Sunkissed-Solaria has THREE SUNS, enough said

Honey- Idk why but this song SCREAMS Stella to me

Make you mine- Definetely a song Brandon once put on a playlist for her and it’s been on loop in all of her playslists ever since

Primadonna- Again, just Stella vibes-I don’t feel like I have to explain myself further

Devil town- “Mom and daddy aren’t in love. That’s fine, I’ll settle for two birthdays.” It’s the divorced kid anthem-

The Family Jewels- Did you know when you have both mommy and daddy issues, it’s called parental wounds? yeah... Stella has parental wounds

Seventeen- Stella definetely has a low self esteem despite what people think. I mean *gestures to season 3*

Cherry bomb- Stella has a lot of depth, yes, but she’s also still the ‘trouble making party girl.’ 

Princesses don’t cry- again, season 3- Same applies to Layla/Aisha

Young and beautiful- *gestures to season 3 again* Come on, her being cursed-

Flora:

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/197IGgpoRUmWnyXc9lGFN1?si=22a5a6207df743c9

Backyard boy- Idk, this entire song just screams Flora and Helia’s relationship to me (which btw is goals)

Prom queen- Flora also has a lot of insecurities, but hers are more so about her own shy personality and her inability to speak up. “i was never cut out for prom queen” which only got amplified to appearances when she couldn’t find the courage to confess to Helia

Vienna- Flora is a certified burned out gifted kid with overachieving tendencies

Put your records on- I heard this song and all I saw was Flora barefoot walking around in a field naming all the flowers. Also definetely her wake up to song

She- Flora, another queer icon. The soft spokenness of it all, the sweet, gentle “please can i have this person in my life” just screams Flora

Savage Daughter- At the end of the day Flora is a nature fairy and well, that girl is a goddamn force of nature (pun intended)

Treehouse- Again, referring to her more introverted nature and how the only ones truely allowed inside are the Winx. “Why can’t everyone just go away? Except you, you can stay.”

Some nights- Even with Chatta’s and the winx support, speaking up for things I can imaigne is something Flora struggles with well into adulthood. Even if one moment she seems to be commanding everyone’s respect and attention, the next she can be in a corner, just wishing no one would see her. “Some nights I wish my lips could build a castle, some nights I just wish they would fall off.”

The record player song- this song just screams cottagecore to me and therefor it screams Flora. I mean, wearing vintage dresses, climbing in the trees? Come on. Also “wish i was a teenage rebel, never even got detention.” Flora’s fear of not living life to the fullest cause of her anxieties.

Tecna:

 https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4cbGvZsrqhd8DGhAWmS4FN?si=ab7dbdaec9b54d65

High hopes- “I got one more run and it’s gonna be a sight to see.” Listen- I was daydreaming trying to think of songs for Tecna, heard that line and all I saw was that scene of her marching forward to close the omega portal in season 3. Instantly added it-

This is me- A personal fave cause... come on, Tecna’s whole arc is about learning her own emotions and understanding those of others

I’m a mess- It’s always easier to feel and acknowledge negative emotions rather than positive ones, and even someone as logical as Tecna suffers from that.

Lemon boy- She IS the lemon boy. I mean, come on-

Family jewels- Yes, this one is for Tecna too. I mean, her whole “not acknowledging emotions, operate only on logic-” she got it from SOMEWHERE-

Cloud 9- “when he calls me pretty, i feel like somebody” come on.. her and Timmy, about how acknowledging her emotions helps her get more healthy and she makes progress and the- “You remind me how to fly.” Timmy also has similair struggles and they help each other, come on- it’s their song

Mastermind- She’s the mastermind of the Winx, period-

Rät- “ The hot girl in your comp sci class And I was Darwin's prep school dream, Bred, born and raised to kick your ass. I fell for circuit boards, Rocket ships, Pictures of the stars. If you could only be what you pretend you are” If this doesn’t scream Tecna-

Oh no- “ Maybe it is all a test.'Cause, I feel like I'm the worst, So I always act like I'm the best.” Being a fairy isn’t just about being clever and logical and I can imagine Tecna really struggled when she didn’t score high enough to her liking on tests because of that

top of my school & Price of perfection- These have similair vibes and well.. Mainly how I see Tecna’s relationship with her parents

Musa:

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3AZmwiKJMEPzNHb9tctJ2N?si=d825bb7dc0144a1c

Tomboy-Mainly how Musa became more feminine clothing wise later on but also the fact that she can do both, masculine and feminine, she rocks both like a ... well a tomboy-

Won’t bite- Idk why but this is just one of those songs I can picture Musa singing to hype herself up

Tear in my heart- I mean, that first line already- “Sometimes you gotta bleed to know, that you’re alive and have a soul.” Soul is literally what you need for music- Both to make it and to enjoy it

not your barbie girl- Musa is an independant queen, please and thank you- ... even tho she and Riven are a bit toxic, i still ship it-

That bitch- “ And I keep talkin' like I'm taller than the trees (bitch). But my eyes never see much higher than five feet.” All short Musa jokes aside, homegirl is a feminist and blasts this at any chance

Put your records on-  “Girl, put your records on, tell me your favorite song.” Music is THE best way to connect according to Musa. Sharing playlists and songs recommendations, even a simple “hey, i heard this song and thought of you-” that’s her love language.

Still into you- Her and Riven, no other words needed

Dear maria, count me in- Just musa vibes, idk how else to describe it

Sit still, look pretty- Again, independent queen Musa who wants to make that money and not have to rely on anyone unless she chooses to

Hey look ma, I made it- *gestures to her and her mom* When she becomes an guardian fairy or when she starts making money with her music, just- 

Layla/Aisha: (imma refer to her as Layla cause that’s the name I grew up with)

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0J0GMzon7v2Z7tBF6yAm4X?si=3189375851374f57

Riptide- “I was scared of dentists and the dark, I was scared of pretty girls and starting conversations.” If that doesn’t summon up her childhood, I don’t know what does-

Sofia- Layla’s first crush was absolutely on that one ginger girl that taught her the freedom that comes with dance

Ain’t shit- Have you seen how homegirl treated Nabu and the boys at first? Come on-

Afraid- “ When I wake up, I'm afraid, Somebody else might take my place.” Homegirl has abandoment issues and fear of being left behind and/or replaced. It just made sense

Underwater- Honestly just a song that seemed to fit her as the princess of Andros. I mean, it’s a planet with like atleast 50% of it’s population living underwater. Also could definetely see it as a lullaby her mom used to sing to her.

Shut up and dance- Layla’s go to up beat song, you can’t convince me otherwise

Runaway- Honestly I just see tthis as her yearning for freedom away from the court, the ability to make her own choices and the life she wants to live

Princesses don’t cry- Same with Stella, the pressure of having to become queen, being hyperaware of everyone watching your every move

Sit still, look pretty- Again, Layla wanting to have her own say in what happens in her life, wanting to be active in every way possible in her life, not a mere passive bystander

Roxy:

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1hOEFrvqhya9dsJys68RQa?si=4ef80d945431463d

Wake me up- “wake me up when it’s all over” her utter complete denial about wanting to do with any fairy stuff including the fairy hunters. Homegirl wanted none of it 

Téir Abhaile Riu- So first of all, Roxy’s irish so- Second it’s something that just gives Roxy a little hold onto, she loves celtic music as it’s as far as she knows (before she met the winx) the only connection she has left from her mom

Tir Na Nog- Do... Do I really need to explain this one...? The home of the earth fairies, come on-

Show & Tell- “Im’on display for all you fuckers to see.” From one normal day to these crazy girls insisting you’re a fairy, fairy hunters coming after you, hearing literal voices thanks to the White circle. Homegirl had it ROUGH and felt like every move was watched, as if she wasn’t human anymore. “ Why is it so hard to see? (Why?) If I cut myself, I would bleed (kill me) I'm just like you, you're like me. Imperfect and human, are we?”

The last of the real ones- Come on... Last Earth fairy

Sweet Hibiscus tea- “ And I'm not your protagonist, I'm not even my own. I don't know anything, I don't even know what I don't know.” Roxy had.. a very rough and long way when it comes to her path of acceptance to being a fairy. Unlike Bloom, she wanted nothign more than to just be normal.

I can’t handle change- Idk, Roxy has always struck me as a person who thrives from a routine and already dislikes change. Yet a change as big as being told you’re a fairy? I mean... Can’t blame her for acting out-

Freaks- She really felt like a freak, I imagine. Probably way before she even met the winx. Luckily for her, they are freaks too where she fits right in.

Below the surface- Everyone remember those moments where she literally got POSESSED by Nebula, fairy of war?? Yeah- “ Listen close, Follow my instructions. There is no time for introductions. He was the one that made us. You'll be the one to save us.”

You’re gonna go far, kid- I mean, her and Bloom are each others foils, right? They are so the same yet each other’s complete opposite, it only felt fitting that I’d put a song like this too in Roxy’s playlist. Also “if you can’t get what you want, well it’s all because of me” is just Roxy @ the fairy hunters and honestly- good for her.

[evilmagician430]

🎶?

for VT/taleblr in general i think a lot of lemon demon's discography fits it well, especially the ultimate showdown of ultimate destiny. and the next dimension. both of these songs are kind of homestuck-y too now that i think about it

sibling rivalry by pup is a really good acachalla family song, as well as kids by the same artist.

similarly i think touch tone telephone and ancient aliens are good P.I.E. songs.

i actually have full playlists for some characters- some on my youtube page, and some are kind of just in my head. if i had to narrow down the songs for each character it would be like this

toast - evacuate the dancefloor by cascada, i am not a robot by marina and the diamonds, kaleidoskull by lemon demon, ravers in the UK, take it off by ke$ha, are you satisfied by marina and the diamonds, so its like half sad amv music and half music i think he would actually listen to. people forget hes not just some prim and proper brit, hes also a hard drinking party boy.

ghost- problems by mother mother, bloodeater by mom/girls rituals/cats millionaire/devi mccallion, flight of the crows by jhariah, oh oh oh sexy vampire by disko warp, jerma meatgrinder remix??(if this also includes jimmy casket songs) haunted by laura les, and uh fuck it bad blood by creature feature. and ofc secret by the pierces.

maddiefriend - crazy town by marz mitzi, doktorspiele, best friend by toy-box, prescription by msi, bill watterson by lemon demon, weird science by oingo boingo, serial contraption of malice by ghostie-p, and magical doctor by maretu.

sally - the end by lil uzi vert and babymetal, gimme chocolate by babymetal, mommy's little monsters by creature feature, dead bodies everywhere by korn, IT GIRL by aliyah's interlude, ready to die by andrew w.k., chu chu lovely muni muni mura mura, little girls by oingo boingo, barbie girl, when i grow up by the pussycat dolls, etc.

sue - woof woof by arthur, i cant handle change by roar, 1989 by msi, entomologists (original version) by ghost/ghostie-p/marz mitzi (i forget how they went by at the time of releasing that song), good news by the garden, my alcoholic friends by the dresden dolls, bloody mary-kate and ashley by pup, and ummm no specific song but i think she would listen to korn

billy - fin fin come and see him, butterfly by smile.dk, girl you need a shot of b12, september dark planet by arthur, walking by steampianist, still feel by half alive, gangnam style nightcore by psy, lego racers ost main menu and also the building mode music, boyfriend by big time rush, tbh i just get a lot of eurodance and boyband vibes from him. there are SOME songs that make me think of him in like an amv way but not many

sadly i must admit gertrude and papa i dont imagine amvs of them often. to any songs. except maybe aim for the head by creature feature, i feel like thats a gertrude song. same w spooker chris and any other characters i didnt mention. i simply do not think of them that much while im listening to music. sad!

spencer (main course - i have an entire playlist for him but i'll try to trim it down in this post) - karkat's theme from the homestuck ost, black hole by steampianist, eighth wonder by lemon demon, cabinet man by lemon demon, evil me by arthur, september by the living tombstone i think? the brony song. welcome to kitty city by cyriak, cat hacks by lemon demon, the machine by lemon demon, the blind prophet from the homestuck ost, the 'you are an idiot!' song from that one computer virus, the first watamote ending song, want you gone from portal 2, waiting for the world to end by mother mother, buried alive by creature feature, stupid stupid world by talking kitty cat, weekly shonen bye-bye by pinocchio-p, alphys from the undertale ost, ode to crayola by lemon demon, just monika from the ddlc ost, not safe from the off ost, christmas kids by roar, here we are from the undertale ost, awoken by h8 seed ft woodentoaster, hole-dwelling by kikuo, amygdala's ragdoll by ghost, faget by korn, evolution by korn, and oxidation and dream monsters by ghostie-p. boom. thats basically the meat of my spencer playlist.

i just remembered i also have a cywren caster playlist but im gonna limit myself to gmod roleplay characters cause im tired of typing and i dont think anyone cares anyways. if u do though check my youtube channel O.K. much love bye

Batfam and Superfam as Marina songs part 2

Bruce: Handmade Heaven

"I envy the birds high up in the trees, they live out their lives so purposefully, I envy the spiders, the squirrels and seeds, they all find their way automatically... 

And I could no longer ignore, the ivy growing tall, this life don't suit me anymore, the writing's on the wall..."

Selina: Can't Pin Me Down

"You can paint me any color and I can be your clown, but you ain't got my number, no you can't pin me down...

You ain't got me sussed yet you're not even close, baby it's the one thing that I hate the most, all these contradictions pouring out of me, just another girl in the 21st century..."

Dick: Blue

"Gimme love, gimme dreams, gimme a good self esteem, gimme good and pure, what you waiting for? Gimme everything, all your heart can bring, Something good and true I don't wanna feel blue anymore...

Gimme one more night one last goodbye, let's do it one last time let's do it one last time one more time..."

Jason: Karma

"Heartbreaker real faker, getting off on bad behavior... 

You're only sorry when you're coming down down down....

Don't be sorry when it comes around, I'm like Oh My God I think its karma...

And when the world comes crashing down, it won't save you, all of the money in this town, it won't save you, won't save your reputation now, it won't save you..."

Tim: Solitaire

"Don't wanna talk anymore I'm obsessed with silence,  I go home and I lock my door I can hear the sirens, I see buildings and bars from the window and I listen to the wind blow, I see people and cars covered in gold and I'm happy to be on my own...

Watch my life unfold all around me like a beautiful garden, I see flowers so tall, they surround me, Oh, my heart, it became so hardened..."

Damian: Living Dead

"Everyday I feel the same stuck and I can never change, sucked into a black balloon spat into an empty room...

Got bubble wrap around my heart waiting for my life to start, but everyday it never comes permanently at square one...

I haven't lived life, I haven't lived love, just bird's eye view from the sky above, I'm dead, I'm living dead..."

Clark: True

"Everybody tells us what to do, think they always know what's good for you, we know they don't really have a clue...

'Cause you don't need nobody else, when you are true, true to yourself...

Always said we're gonna be true we will never change we will never change, they could never do it better than when we are together..."

Lois: Man's World

"Clouds in the whites of our eyes we saw it all, burnt me at the stake you thought I was a witch, centuries ago, now you just call me a bitch...

If you have a mother daughter or a friend maybe it is time you comprehend, the world that you live in ain't the same one as them, so don't punish me for not being a man...

Spring appears when the time is right women are violets coming to light, don't underestimate the making of life, the planet has a funny way of stopping a fight....

I don't wanna live in a man's world anymore..."

Jon: The State of Dreaming

"Living on their last hope, I live my life inside a dream...

All I really want is to be wonderful, people in this town they, they can be so cruel...

If only you knew my dear, how I live my life in fear, If only you knew my dear, how I know my time is near...

Yeah, I've been living in the state of dreaming, living in a make-believe land...."

Conner: Valley of the Dolls

"Born with a void, hard to destroy with love or hope, built with a heart broken from the start, and now I die slow...

In the valley of the dolls we sleep, got a hole inside of me, living with identities, that do not belong to me...

Back to zero here we go again, racing down into oblivion Back to zero, here we go, I can feel it coming to the end, the end..."

[cursesavior]

post 3-5 songs that remind you of your muse. repost, don’t reblog.

1: bullet with butterfly wings - the smashing pumpkins

the world is a vampire sent to drain / secret destroyers hold you up to the flames / and what do i get for my pain? / betrayed desires and a piece of the game // despite all my rage, i am still just a rat in a cage! / someone will say, "what is lost can never be saved" // now i'm naked, nothing but an animal / but can you fake it for just one more show? / and what do you want? i wanna change / and what do you got when you feel the same? // and i still believe that i cannot be saved!

2: custer - slipknot

because anything exceptional gets crushed by common people! / with jealousy, and ignorance, and all their common evils! / this planet isn't special, collections made of clay / i'm waiting for the punishment, i know it's on my way! / so cut, cut, cut me up and fuck, fuck, fuck me up // irreverence is my disease! / it's secondhand, but you know me! / this son of a bitch is on his knees / the last man standing gets no pity!

3: this is how i disappear - my chemical romance

to unexplain the unforgivable / drain all the blood and give the kids a show! / by streetlight, this dark night, a seance down below / there's things that i have done, you should never know / and without you is how i disappear / and live my life alone, forever now! // can you hear me cry out to you? words i thought i'd choke on, figure out / i'm really not so with you anymore, i'm just a ghost / so i can't hurt you anymore! / and now you wanna see how far down i can sink / let me go, fuck! / i'm so away from you.

4: hurt - nine inch nails

i hurt myself today, to see if i still feel / i focus on the pain, the only thing that's real / the needle tears a hole, the old familiar sting / try to kill it all away, but i remember everything... / what have i become, my sweetest friend? / everyone i know goes away in the end / and you could have it all, my empire of dirt / i will let you down, i will make you hurt.

5: numb - marina

i can't breathe, and i can't smile / this better be worth my while / i feel numb most of the time / lower i get, the higher i'll climb / and i will wonder why, i got dark only to shine / looking for the golden light / oh, it's a reasonable sacrifice / burn, burn, burn bright / forgo family, forgo friends / that's how it started and it how it ends / i can't open up and cry / 'cause i've been silent all my life // ooh, i get dark, oh, and i'm in hell / i need a friend, ooh, but i can't yell / yeah, i'm no good, no good to anyone / 'cause all i care about is being number one!

[squishlamb]

hi i made a huntlow playlist!! 💚💛 i might be updating this from time to time

genres: pop, indie pop, kpop

i am very insane about them & spent SO LONG curating this playlist. so here's my long ass breakdown of the songs cuz huge brainrot:

PART 1: the lone wolf (oh wait, feelings?)

MARINA – Oh No!

"Don't do love, don't do friends; I'm only after success. Don't need a relationship; I'll never soften my grip."

Hunter at the start of it all, the Golden Guard™️ who's knows what he wants: making a change for the better aka recruiting kids for the emperor's coven!

but ACTUALLY, he's slipping. sorta losing it and he kinda knows it: "If I fail, I'll fall apart... cause I feel like I'm the worst so I always act like I'm the best."

flor – heart

any sport in a storm!!!!

our boy makes friends! he learns teamwork and sportsmanship! he really does have heart and is letting his heart hold true <3 such a feel good song

"Don't wanna waste love, don't wanna hurt you" yeah that's about captain willow

ALSO the mention of wolves, OF COURSE: "And for so long, I've lived my life listening to the wolves looking for scraps to tear from me 'til I lose control. Can't take my heart no matter how your teeth sink and pull. Won't lose my heart"

Wallows – Scrawny

"Hate feeling like I'm not in control... I've been sleeping with the light on. I tend to freak myself out."

here we have the skrunkly going THROUGH it. like, about everything in life. he is so conflicted

"Will you come a little closer now and see that I'm a scrawny motherfucker with a cool hairstyle?" yea he had a cool hairstyle fr

i also take this as he wanted to be closer w/ Willow + the other kids but he had to keep up that confident/independent golden guard front as a defense mechanism yk? And he rly believed he was nothing more than a Scrawny Mf With A Cool Hairstyle

twenty one pilots – Tear in My Heart

the 안녕하세요 (hello) at the beginning aww lol

"Sometimes you gotta bleed to know that you're alive and have a soul."

hunter questioning his grimwalker origins but at the same time his new hexside friends ARE his real living friends. his feelings and new friendships are proof that he's alive, and it's all thanks to Willow so he is especially drawn to her

leo. – despair

my guy realizing he feels Particularly different w/ Willow lmao. REAL different. confusing feelings. what's a hug??? affection???? wh??A???

"It's not romantic, I swear. It might be closer to despair." real

joan – nervous

really just another cute pining song i wanted to add in lol. but also it's Hunter becoming more aware of his feelings. not really denying it anymore; he KNOWS he gets nervous around Willow

“It’s not like me to bite my tongue and hold back” Hunter is well-spoken af BUT NOT ANYMORE LOL

The Happy Fits – So Alright, Cool, Whatever

"After you leave, I'll be so alright, it's true. It's not like I've got something grand to say to you."

Hunter's sloww acceptance of his feelings. he WANTS TO BE W WILLOW! YASSS

But also "I've got an effervescent glow if you'd show me all the dark parts of your mind." foreshadowing to FTF of course >:3

Will Joseph Cook ft. chloe moriondo – Be Around Me

ok finally we have some Hunter AND Willow POV. this song's like after they've been texting A LOT and they're so used to regularly talking with each other <3

also the iconic "OMG did you call me baby?" part is so huntlow, especially the "Cool" followed by the nervous chuckle omg. That’s what I call loser boy pining and girlboss flirting. But it's nothing too serious... YET.

The Cars – Just What I Needed

gotta put some 80s in here. I'm thinking this is them spending more casual time together in the human realm!

"I don't mind you hangin' out and talkin' in your sleep." After seeing Willow sleep in TTH, I hc that she sleeptalks lol

Blossoms – Oh No (I Think I'm In Love)

Wrapping up this first part of the playlist aka Hunter’s (generally) one-sided crush. Started with an Oh No and ending with another kind of Oh No.

"You and me, we're different as people... You've got blue skies in your head." Hunter def put Willow on a pedestal and saw her as this huge inspirational sunshine

"Home is where I'll be when you're standing beside me." Hunter finally feels at home with someone else--Willow!! (+ living with the rest of the hexsquad ofc)

PART 2: smitten

Troye Sivan, Jay Som – Trouble

it's giving a simultaneous hunter and willow POV. though i also take it as willow slowly falling for him :3

"Accidental lover, what'd you do with all my common sense? You came in undercover..." (any sport in a storm moment!!!!)

"I'm tired of livin' like I'm dyin' but now I can't find the silver linin' like before" Hunter fr

"I'm not one to need saving, but I guess I'll give it a try" Both of them fr

Jayme Dee – Tip Toes

Oh my god this song was in all the edits in 2014 or whatever lol

WILLOW POV! WILLOW POV!

“Boy, you came like a hurricane, knocked me down like a tidal wave. Didn’t see you comin’ so quick; look at you boy movin’ so slick” Literally Willow’s first impression of Hunter was this kid ZOOOOOMING

Mentions flying a lot = flyer derby duhhhh

Also tip toes cuz yeah HEIGHT DIFFERENCE slay

Carly Rae Jepsen – Sweetie

"I ran into you like a crash of thunder." Willow POV. anything thunder/lightning/electricity means Hunter and this is true

"You're not as lonely as you think you are... Anything you want boy, I can make it happen. We could fall in love and I could be your sweetie." Willow being the absolute girlboss she is while also reassuring Hunter

SEVENTEEN – Adore U (Eng trans)

First kpop song let’s go. One of the cutest songs to ever exist LIKE??? "So what I mean is, I want to know all of you" / "I adore you, enough to get dizzy, adore you!"

“You’re so pretty it’s selfish but your personality is so humble” Hunter @ Willow

“You can lean right here. You can cover your pain with me. Tell me your feelings.” BOTH

“Baby, you are my angel” First song that mentions angels, which is a big theme moving forward in the playlist! since they helped each other with their respective near-death experiences jgkldfjsg (ACTUAL DEATH for hunter)

BTS ft. Halsey – Boy With Luv (Eng trans)

So much fluff. 100% Hunter in the human realm, totally smitten and totally in love and he LOVES the feeling!!!!!

"Your every picture I wanna have under my pillow." Yesss all the polaroids hello!!!!

"...now I became a hero" Hunter's so mf giddy from Willow he's growing from his traumatic golden guard days and he really does love who he's becoming!!!

Ariana Grande, Mac Miller – The Way

Really sweet song I’m dying from the sugar at this point

FLOWERS. “I’m thinking ‘bout her every second, every hour. Do my singing in the shower like do she love me, do she love me not?”

“Be your lover, your friend, you’ll find it all in me. Stay by your side, I’ll never leave you … I got a bad boy, I must admit it.” yaaaassss hunter the "bad" boy lmaoooo

The Cab – Her Love Is My Religion

Ok HEAR ME OUT we all know Belos is some crazy puritan whom Hunter grew up to value. but now that he knows Belos is fucking insane, Hunter is finding faith in his loved ones instead which INCLUDES WILLOW BROOOOO

Sorta angel references!

Leanna Firestone - Smitten

“You snored and it was the most beautiful sound that I’d ever heard” Hunter @ Willow lmao

“You’re insecure about your crooked teeth but can I just say this, I’m kinda glad that you never got braces cuz I like your smile just the way it is” Willow @ Hunter HHHNNNNNGGGG

“I don’t know what I did or how I did it, but I did something right” Hunter fr

beabadoobee – Dance with Me

Everything so far has been high energy crushing but I imagine they had very chill cozy reflective moments too

IMAGINE WILLOW ASKING HUNTER TO DANCE AAAAWWWWWWWWWW THE CUTES

They’re just happy and forgetting about their troubles

Also a transition to slowwww it down into the next part

Part 3: losing and trusting

Ariana Grande – raindrops (an angel cried)

THE ANGST BEGINS…

"The day you left me, an angel cried." yeah remember how Hunter DIED in Willow's arms? yeah,

WILLOW IS THE ANGEL HERE OK

Melanie Martinez – Cry Baby

"Your heart's too big for your body, it's why it won't fit inside."

Willow ANGST time. Imagine seeing your close friend die in your arms and feeling like you're not allowed to cry cuz you're the strong one??

This opens up all the wounds of being bullied and she’s reminded of being a crybaby, losing her friends (esp Amity), and just feeling SO much. But she’s not ACTUALLY letting herself cry now. Especially after this bitch ass BOSCHA taunts Willow; Willow doesn’t want Boscha to have that power of truly hurting her

“You’ll just let them drown” Willow @ her past, bullies

“I just let them drown” Willow @ her own feelings and ultimately herself in her vines

Carly Rae Jepsen – Making the Most Of The Night

"Baby, I'm speeding and red lights, I'll run. What I got, you need it and I'll run to your side when your heart is bleeding... I know you've had a rough time but here I come to hijack you; I'll love you while making the most of the night"

Ok wtf this is literally Hunter when Willow was in her vines. Speedy boy

The only thing that doesn’t match is when Carly sings about “no more tears” but other than that this song is so huntlow

MUNA – I Know A Place

“I know a place we can go where everyone gonna lay down their weapon… Just give me trust and watch what’ll happen / Don’t you be afraid of love and affection”

In the playlist timeline, this would be Hunter reassuring Willow to trust him (and Gus) but it also works the other way around in general!!

Like this is so Willow @ Hunter: “It’s like you’re carrying all the weight of your past. I can feel the bruises, yellow, dark blue, and black. But baby, they’re bruises, only your body trying to keep you intact”

Vacation Manor – Thoughts in Progress

"Well, you can hold back the truth while never tellin' a lie. And I won't ever know the person that you're keepin' inside 'til you trust me with your thoughts in progress."

Hunter @ Willow !!! SOBBING

The “wasting our time” has a lil negative mood to it but honestly it DOES make sense considering Gus was suffocating in Willow’s vines LMAO

Maisie Peters – Take Care Of Yourself

THIS is the song that started this whole playlist

"The world won't fall if you're not holding it up... And you try, and you try, and you're trying but the burden is heavy and overgrown." WILLOW !!!????

"I hate how you talk to yourself. It's not weak if you need to be held. So cut off a little slack and roll all your cavalry back; my love, take care of yourself." 100% HUNTER @ WILLOW DURING FTF. am sobbing

Then the second verse is totally willow @ hunter: "You don't get a medal for the last one awake so rest your eyes and give your baggage to me." bro these two im gonna die

flor – restless soul

another sweet song of reassurance and self-care that totally works both ways within huntlow ;-; I take it as more Hunter POV just cuz of FTF.

"Come and lay down your restless soul. ...you're wearing out."

It also sounds uplifting and happy, so we're shifting from the heavier tunes!

Part 4: falling

Harry Styles – Golden

did i put this in because it's "golden"? yeah,

Willow POV, actually allowing herself to fall in love in a scary, vulnerable way. love is not just a lighthearted cute flirting, this shit is pretty serious!!

BUT Y’KNOW IT ALSO works the other way around. I'm so stuck on Willow POV just cuz the lyrics are "You're so golden" hahah

BTS Jimin – Serendipity (Eng trans)

one of my fav songs ever; so beautiful

continues on the theme of vulnerability in love, but also revolves around destiny. considering caleb x evelyn, huntlow is definitely references that fated universe stuff.

This song also has a theme of flowers and duh WILLOW

“Let me love you” Hunter really reaching out to Willow here this is WHAT HE WAS COMMUNICATING TO HER *muffled screaming*

Ariana Grande – pov

A continuation of that dreamy, romantic, vulnerable love vibe.

Huntlow both gotta work on their respective self-perceptions. but they totally love each other. their relationship emphasizes learning to trust and love YOURSELF outside of your strong persona and THAT…! YES!!!

"How you touch my soul from the outside? Permeate my ego and my pride" Willow @ Hunter

"I wanna love me the way that you love me, for all of my pretty and all of my ugly too. I’d love to see me from your point of view.”

Troye Sivan – Angel Baby

another romantic BANGER while also continuing the dreamy mood. Specifically emphasizes angels and living.

“I’ll tell you how I almost died while you’re bringing me back to life.” works both ways.

“I just wanna live in this moment forever cuz I’m afraid that living couldn’t get any better.” ok Hunter WANTING TO LIVE.!! I’M SO NORMAL

Ariana Grande – Intro

“I’ll give you all I have and nothing less, I promise.”

THE ULTIMATE DREAMY song. From Angel Baby to this, they’re talking about the heavens or ascending or some shit and THIS IS WHERE I think of Huntlow holding pinkies (PROMISING THEY MEAN A LOT TO EACH OTHER!!) at the end of FTF & ready to keep moving forward

“I want you with me on this road to the sky, we’ll be shining every night. I promise you, just me and you. Oh, I promise you.”

Part 5: fight for love

The Cab – Angel With A Shotgun

HUNTER IS THE ANGEL HERE

“Fighting ‘til the war’s won, I don’t care if heaven won’t take me back. I’ll throw away my faith babe, just to keep you safe.”

Hunter again throwing out Belos' puritan bs and fighting for his loved ones

If Belos does some shit to Willow I think Hunter will go into Avatar state lol. Either way Belos is gonna get his ASS BEATEN

The Script – Superheroes

“She’s got lions in her heart, a fire in her soul. He’s got a beast in his belly that’s so hard to control. Cuz they’ve taken too much hits, taking blow by blow. Now light a match, stand back, watch them explode.”

NO CUZ THESE TWO IN FULL COMBO COMBAT

Willow has already proven to the ones who hurt her that she is more than her weaknesses PLUS now embraces her emotions, but Hunter hasn’t totallyyy confronted Belos so when he WHOOPS BELOS’ ASS IT’S GONNA BE SO GOOD AND HEARTFUL—(I’m really on about this aren’t I)

Linking back to Song #2 (flor – heart)! Embracing your emotions rather than hating them!

A nice, feel-good, inspirational song to wrap up the war stuff. Also, they are still learning and will always be, they’re not suddenly emotional gurus saved by romantic love

This song was my shit in 2016 omg

Part 6: ease

NIKI – Plot Twist

Cute song, transitioning to the happy ending (I fucking hope so).

This section is them having the time to relax and pause and reflect on their relationship! Hunter was a plot twist in Willow’s life alright. But also the other way around ajkflsjgkla ilove them

“Who could’ve imagined… you?”

JVKE – this is what falling in love feels like

I think about Hunter ABSO FUCKIN LUTELY JOVIAL after everything is ok and he’s just!!! Wow! The sun! I love my gf!!! I’m happy!! eee!!!!!!!!!!

push baby – Wishing We Were More Than Friends

hunter again :3 more reflecting back

“I even told your friends the perfect phrase but they just laughed in my face” imagine hunter talking to like. Luz or gus about how to tell Willow he likes her but he’s just so CRINGE and they’re dying

“I’d sit and wait ‘til you came online, wasting hours of time, it’s fine.” Totally bro

NCT DREAM – Walk With You (Eng translation)

They’re talking about the snow crunch and it’s winter THEREFORE HUNTLOW

Everything’s settled on the Boiling Isles and the two are meeting up for a date!! Dawwww

Lostboycrow, AVIV – Strawberry Sunscreen

Happyyyyy ass song. Huntlow being happy together UGH!

“She’ll paint a cabinet from the 60s and find diamonds when she’s thrifting” Idk this gives me Willow vibes :)

Deniece Williams – Let’s Hear It For The Boy

Basically Hunter’s a loser but Willow loves him soso much LOL

Rex Orange County ft. Benny Sings – Loving Is Easy

Dreamy ass romantic song

“I was all on my own, almost glad to be alone until love came in on time” Hunter fr

Taylor Swift – Daylight

Oh my god y’all this is Hunter wanting to live part 4893248

“There are so many lines that I’ve crossed unforgiven” / “I wounded the good and I trusted the wicked” Golden Guard days??

“Threw out our cloaks and our daggers because it’s morning now, it’s brighter now” Golden Guard days OVER!!

“I once believed love would be black and white but it’s golden” YALL.???!!!

OK AND. THE OUTRO… “I wanna be defined by the things that I love. Not the things I hate. Not the things that I’m afraid of, I’m afraid of… Not the things that haunt me in the middle of the night. I, I just think that you are what you love.”

MY BOY IS HEALING!!!! AHHHHH AND WHO DOES HUNTER LOVE???? ..........

The 1975 – I’m In Love With You

"It's simple and it goes like this," HE LOVES WILLOW GOD DAMN ITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

AND SHE'S IN LOVE WITH HIM TOO BYE

THAT’S ALL OK TIME TO CRY!!

I also have a raeda playlist and a lumity playlist!!! Idk if I'll do writeups for them cuz this one took SO long but we'll see ;)

The Little Mermaid 2 and 3 (bring it on!)

The Little Mermaid 2 and 3:

my all-time ultimate fave character: we all know it's ariel lbr but...again not to be too predictable, andrina! she's SO much funny in every incarnation i read of her and she's the only character that seems to make it with a semblance of character integrity (even more so than ariel who does NOT fare well with these sequels)

a character I didn’t used to like but now do: king triton maybe? i still think he has abusive tendencies and certain things frustrate me about him to no end but i think he's realistic and there's a weight to him that's intriguing to me

a character I used to like but now don’t: queen athena. i thought she was pretty as a kid and i liked her whole voice/singing to the kids plot thing but i just think she's so uninspired and lazy and her voice isn't even that good, her design is blah, and i don't think ariel's mom is that lady lol sorry

a character I’m indifferent about: hm. benjamin??? i guess it's fine that they kinda gay-coded him and it's some representation but he's marina's sidekick, and marina is the ultimate ick, and idk he's just so bland anyway that it's hard to feel anything for him outside of what he is

a character who deserved better: andrina! she deserved WAY more lines and screentime. i wish they got the original andrina back but tara did her best, i guess

a ship I’ve never been able to get into: carlotta and grimsby. like i get they're both side characters that are a man and a woman but obligatory hetero ships that have no chemistry aren't my thing (this is directed at the fandom, the movie doesn't really put them together)

a ship I’ve never been able to get over: i think aquata and that boy they put her with in the third movie are cute i guess? again i'm actively trying not to say ariel/eric

a cute, low-key ship: um. melody and that blonde boy??? i guess

an unpopular ship but I still enjoyed it: ??? there aren't really any other ships in these movies, they honestly don't offer much

a ship that was totally wrong and never should have happened: melody and that guy she danced with in the beginning of the second movie, but that was the point so

my favourite storyline/moment: hm...uh. um. uhhh OH WAIT i do love ariel singing in that hazy room in the beginning of the second movie. the animation is like rugrats level bad BUT jodi's singing carries it

a storyline that never should have been written: THE THIRD MOVIE. i will go to my grave standing by the fact that i think the banishment of music is the DUMBEST plot i've ever heard of/seen in all of hollywood and the fact that disney is SUCH a difficult company to break into and it's so competitive and it's supposed to hold the highest standards for its craft and THAT plot wasn't ridiculed in its initial pitch in the writer's room and how that plot not only contradicts THE FIRST SCENE we see of ariel missing the concert in her original movie but doesn't even make any sense, given that she gives her voice up to be human so clearly she doesn't care about music THAT much is baffling like the minimum wage character performers in the parks get better training on integrity than the writers from that movie

my first thoughts on the show: i honestly never cared about either movie but i think i disliked the third movie less when i first saw it because tlm2 made melody the main character and that really irritated me as a child because i didn't want to see her and her walrus and penguin, i wanted more ariel who was delegated as a side character bc i guess older women or moms just aren't interesting/worthy of being main characters???

my thoughts now: for as much as i personally dislike the second movie, i'm still glad we have it because i think some of jodi benson's singing is superior to any of her other recordings and i'm genuinely astounded by her talent in some songs. the third movie though is painful and i hate it and it makes me resent disney lol

REPOST & LIST 6 SONGS THAT INSPIRE YOU TO WRITE YOUR MUSE(S) .

Ikki

#1 -Juice WRLD & Marshmello - Come & Go

I try to be everything that I can / But sometimes, I come out as bein' nothin’ / I try to be everything that I can / But sometimes, I come out as bein' nothin' / I pray to God that he make me a better man (Uh)/ Maybe one day, I’m going stand for somethin' / I'm thanking' God that he made you part of the plan / I guess I ain't go through all that Hell for nothin' / I'm always fuckin' up and wrecking’ shit / It seems like I perfected it / I offer you my love / I hope you take it like some medicine / Tell me ain’t nobody better than me / I think that there's better than me / Hope you see the better in me / Always end up bettering’ me.

#2- Juice WRLD - Lucid Dreams

I'll do it over again / I didn't want it to end / I watched it blow in the wind / I should've listened to my friends / Leave this shit in the past / But I want it to last.

#3- Juice WRLD- Wishing Well

Waiting for the exhale / I toss my pain with my wishes in a wishing well / I can't breathe, I'm waiting for the exhale / Toss my pain with my wishes in a wishing well / Still no luck, but oh, well / I still try even though I know I'm going to fail / Stress on my shoulders like an anvil.

#4- Cold Play- Sky Full of Stars

'Cause you're a sky, / 'cause you're a sky full of stars / I'm gonna give you my heart / 'Cause you're a sky, 'cause you're a sky full of stars / 'Cause you light up the path I don't care, go on and tear me apart / I don't care if you do, ooh-ooh, ooh / 'Cause in a sky, 'cause in a sky full of stars I think I saw you.

#5 - Cold Play- Viva la Vida

I used to rule the world / Seas would rise when I gave the word / Now in the morning, I sleep alone / Sweep the streets I used to own / I used to roll the dice / Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes / Listen as the crowd would sing / Now the old king is dead, long live the king / One minute, I held the key / Next the walls were closed on me / And I discovered that my castles stand / Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand.

#6- Oh No- Marina and the Diamonds

One track mind, one track heart / If I fail, I'll fall apart / Maybe it is all a test / 'Cause, I feel like I'm the worst / So I always act like I'm the best / If you are not very careful / Your possessions will possess you / TV taught me how to feel / Now real life has no appeal.
