#one thing leads to another

[synthsays]

GUYS

I don't know if anyone else has said this before but maybe the "one thing led to another" from TBOB wasn't an innuendo BUT a REFERENCE to the song One Thing Led To Another by The Fixx released in 1982!

With lyrics like

"The deception with tact, just what are you trying to say?"

"You see dimensions in two"

"You run for cover so discreet, why don't they Do what they say, say what you mean, and baby One thing leads to another You told me something wrong, I know I listen too long but then One thing leads to another"

The whole song sounds a lot like Ford in the paranoia era!

Finished my first bomber jacket in time for my birthday…sort of weird/poignant but it is the best bday gift this year.

This can only be an ode to OTLTA.

apollo speaks arabic, hilal straight up dies.

that is the post. based on the thing i wrote here. more under the cut

apollo while visiting his kids at camp takes notice of hilal and strikes small conversation. and while theyre on the subject of poetry and oral tradition through the ages, he recites a few verses in perfect arabic, and hilal. well hilal finds herself momentarily unable to breathe.

was it the god's unexpected fluency of her native language, one she hasnt heard in years? or was it the content of the poem that acquainted her jaw to the infirmary floor and threatened to send the rest of her following?

aight so the 'poem' i had in mind is this one & i cant find an original source or citation anywhere to save my life for some reason:

يا من غزيتيني بلا سيف وسلاح “You who raided my heart without a sword nor a weapon, وملكتني كلي وأنا لك رهينة and owned all of me making me a hostage of yours. بالهون لي بالهون يا سيد الملاح Slow down on me you master of beauty, خلي الوصل بيني وبينه مدينة and shorten the distance between you and I.” يا من غزيتيني بلا سيف وسلاح You who raided my heart without a sword nor a weapon, وملكتني كلي وأنا لك رهينة and owned all of me making me a hostage of yours."

nearly dam screamed first time i heard it. polyglot apollo folks.

this scene came to me when i opened my notes and i audibly gasped in the car on the way home from uni. the brainrot is r e a l

I had a thought. It’s probably already been said but… helping me shave as a form of knife play. Like setting me up with a bowl of water and a knife of their choice. Towel and shaving cream ( mine smells like vanilla).

I lie back and spread my legs. I can feel the gentle touch. Strong calloused hands on tender skin. I look down to find them focused. Considering. Cold steel on my warm thighs. Just to hear them say.

“Hold still dearest, I don’t want to cut you.”

L'il snippet from my alt-80s band's performance Sunday at Smith Gardens in Oakwood. It was a beautiful night and we had an appreciative audience.

Pigeon

Pigeon,

today I found your decapitated

body on the pavement,

and I can still smell your blood.

It made me think of what

Killed you?

Fox. Car; human. Person.

Pigeon,

It made me think of

school, 22% in Biology

and a 3 in English, my mother

says she is proud of me

But I

am not, and neither are you.

Pigeon,

are we three all doomed

to die alone and

without the love that binds us?

I thought that maybe you had died for my sins

But you only died for yours.

you could say he really wanted that sticker to be permanent

Thinking on it, I believe we need to acknowledge just how messed up things were for the character of Megatronus Prime in the Transformers One movie. Consider, betrayed and murdered by one of your own followers alongside all of your comrades. And then, having someone who idolises you, D-16, co-opt not only your name by calling himself Megatron, but to have your very face be used as the insignia for the Decepticon movement he started.

In most other continuities of transformers, Megatronus is a villain, known often as "the Fallen" for his actions. But here, in Transformers One, he was a hero like all the other primes. Yet, despite being an actual decent person for once, his whole identity will forever be associated with villainy in the eyes of Cybertron's history because of Megatron's use of them. That's just insult to injury :(
