MUSICIAN SIRIUS BLACK

4. Never Above You, Never Below by orphan_account (ao3) 5k

6. Forever Is a State of Mind by orphan_account (ao3) 25k

YOUTUBER AU!

Remus lupin is runs a dance youtube channel, where he posts choreographies with his son teddy. He's also deaf and people find it hard to understand how someone who can't hear music could love to dance so much, people like rita skeeter who hires snape as a terp for a new paper article she wants to write about him. Except sanpe is the kind of terp that only signs SLS, remus runs into james, CODA, who helps him out. He also happens to introduce him to sirius black his best mate who is a MUA youtuber, with a decent amount of followers.

With a side pairing of polyamorous james/lily/regulus raising harry together. (Y'all dont understand this fic made me jump in the jegulus train way back in 2016, and ive been patiently waiting for all of you to catch up)

7. real life has no appeal by orphan_account (ao3) 7k

Now that im thinking about it, i think my favorite wlw ship involving Emma is probably her and Nichelle.

They'd be super supportive of eachother and both girls would def need it; Nichelle could use that between the first two seasons of the reboot considering her elimination from the first season, and Emma 100% needs that considering her previous relationship. Also, she's pretty lonely in the cast, like at least Nichelle has Damien.

Also their relationship to fame's def interesting to explore. Nichelle's a famous actress, and while it's never said in canon, the kind of fame that comes from getting easily recongnised by even people who don't seem to be super interested in movies implies she's probably been an actress for at least a little while (you don't get fame overnight usually). Emma on the other hand is on social media and most likely has a following on her own outside of Chase's thing. (not sure if she qualifies as an influencer? but she's probably semi popular oj the in-universe TikTok). I think their different relationships/experiences with fame would be interesting to contrast between eachother.

Hi, love your fic it's fantastic but I was wondering, does Bills voice sound like himself? In chapter 2 Ford said he recongnised his voice but other characters like Wendy or the waitress didn't even comment on it. Is it just similar enough but not really echo-y like before?

Lot of folks asking about his voice this week! Yeah, he sounds exactly the same, except without the echoey effect.

It's a difference of exposure.

Anyone who was around town square when Bill arrived (starting at 1:50) heard his voice, but I counted and he talks/laughs for a total of 1 minute and 4 seconds, most of which is also accompanied by arriving monsters, shuffling facial features, and siccing bubbles of pure madness on the townspeople. They had very little exposure to his voice before they fled or were petrified, and they were distracted the whole time.

I believe the line "Welcome, one and all, to Weirdmageddon!" was magically projected so most of town could hear him, but not loud enough to be heard outside the edge of town, so most people only heard one (distant, distorted, possibly muffled by walls) sentence out of him before the whole world went crazy. I don't think he projected any other announcements to the rest of town.

Anybody who remained hidden throughout Weirdmageddon or who was petrified, brought in as a statue, un-petrified while Bill was outside, and evacuated before he got back, never heard his voice.

The townspeople in the robot Mystery Shack heard some yells and taunts while fighting Bill, which were partially drowned out by giant robot mechanical noises, and they were focused on fighting.

The zodiac members got about 32 seconds of dialogue when Bill arrived. For those that had never met him previously (Wendy, Robbie; McGucket met him 30 years ago but we don't know if they spoke), this is all they ever heard him say.

Wendy might have heard him speak during Sock Opera, but 1) we don't know if she was ever told Dipper was possessed, and 2) we don't know whether he actually sounded like Bill, or if switching voice actors was just an artistic effect and he actually just sounded like Dipper talking weird.

All in all... most of the townspeople have heard very little of Bill's voice, with an echoey effect, during extremely stressful situations where they were more concerned with survival, over nine months ago. It's very easy for humans to misremember, forget, or change details in their memories, especially if they're about stressful events and happened some time ago. Especially once his voice has changed from alien to human, most people won't recognize him until/unless he says something particularly Bill-ish; and if he does sound familiar, they're likely to think "huh, that person's voice sounds kinda like Bill's, what bad luck."

The waitress was working at a diner at 3 a.m. She works the night shift. She was probably asleep when Bill arrived in town, and might have never heard his voice. Wendy—meeting him in the dark—briefly thought he sounded kinda familiar... but realizing he was the infamous Toga Lady was enough to convince her THAT'S why he seemed familiar, because memory is malleable like that.

Ford spoke with Bill regularly for around three years, might have heard other recordings of him while traveling through the multiverse, spoke with him a couple more times just before/after returning to Earth, and had several lengthy conversations with him during Weirdmageddon. Ford didn't just hear Bill; he knows Bill. He'd know his voice. Plus, the attempted murder was a bit of a clue.

i may not know the words but my heart still recongnises the song of my people

[yeahivegotanaccount]

By the way, just countering the inflated pride with 'you suck' is a really bad idea. Not because of "you're worth it and can do no wrong"-type of thing, but 'cause rather than owning up to other people you're still focusing on yourself and start making the self-punishment the get out of jail free card; start restraining yourself on the small stuff only to enjoy the depths of your cruelty on the stuff that actually matters.

Something stupid in my brain makes it so I consider arrogance fucking awesome and unfortunately telling it to go fuck itself kinda worsens the issue. Eugh. Man, why figuring out the problem doesn't solve it.

Ok, Odysseus, the raining* king of Ithaca, is my Roman Empire.

And I don't particularly mean all the "adventures" he went through or the wrong he might have done.

It's the pain of a parent who has not been able to watch his child grow up.

He remembers him as a baby. He was once very close to home, to be able to see (and raise) him still as a child, but that too was taken from him. If it weren't for the right circumstances, he might not have recongnise him in adulthood.

* I apologize for this silly joke that still makes me smile.

[whatcannotbesaid-shallbewept]

The biopic epidemic is bad for a number of reasons (awful Pacing, misinfo, general boringness) but the worst thing about them, is how empty they feel.

I love Llewyn Davis and Tick Tick Boom. Before those movies I didn't care about the early 60s folk scene, or a failed musical from the 80s. But those movies made me care.

Those movies were full of passion. Made by people who were obsessed with the topics they were making a movie about. And it showed!

But all these new age biopics (Especially music biopics) are supposedly about artists who were extremely passionate about their craft - but you feel none of it. None of them made me care.

The Biopic Epidemic has turned into a machine - put in a person's life, a barely serviceable movie comes out.

They can't lean too hard into comedy, because then the Oscars won't pay attention. They can't be about anything "frivolous" from the subjects lives, because the Oscars only give awards to movies about Important Topics.

How do serious drama movies adapt to a market full of IP, superheroes and franchises? You make a serious drama movie about something recongnisable.. like a brand. Doesn't matter if that brand is Elvis or Pop Tarts - it just has to be something people recognise.

So these movies can't be "too serious" or go too deep into any one topic, because they have to be scientifically precise brand of milquetoast to appeal to Awards and the general public.

So all the movies end up feeling the same.

No central conflict, no emotional core, no defining info beyond what you'd find on a Wikipedia article.

The bohemian rhapsody and Whitney Houston biopic might as well be the same movie with different actors. They didn't make me care about either of them.

I don't understand why I'm supposed to be excited for a Bob Dylan or Beatles biopic that will feel exactly the same as every other biopic I've watched.

These are unique people, with endlessly fascinating lives and characters. But no matter what, the movie won't feel any different from the last music biopic.

[aqualblue]

This is not a question this a statement. expression of admiration YOU HAVE SUCH A LOVELY ART STYLE I LOVE IT SMMSMSMSMSM! I hope you recongnise HOW AMAZING YOUR ART IS.. It's exquisite.

Chronicles of Ineffability Announcement

After season two's devastating final all we can do is wait for the third season to come out which is a pretty long wait (4 years or so!).

But! We can always create the sims versions of Ineffable Husbands and do all the matchmaking. Surprise: this is what I did.

After playing for a bit, I've realised that the atmosphere in the sims world goes very well with Good Omens's quirkiness and absolute sillines. With a dash of imagination and roleplay, all of this can be a whole lot of fun.

For example:

Crowley dissolving into bedsheets because sims do not recongnise custom pillows is a bug, but you can think of it as Crowley sleeping with the blanket over his head if you want to. Loud snoring with the "zzz" above the bed only makes it better.

A side note: Aziraphale's grunts in the background is him trying to upgrade the sink. Hold on, can't he just miracle the upgrade? Why would he even bother to do that? Well. Let's say, Aziraphale likes to do things the human way. When they moved to the South Downs cottage, he insisted on limiting the amount of miracles they can perform per day (Crowley still breakes the rule occasionally but gets scolded every time). That's why he thought it'd be wonderful to try something new.

The next morning the pipe under the sink bursts and Crowley's not happy about it. Whatever Aziraphale did to that sink, he did not upgrade it.

Don't even get me started on the rats invasion (a story for another time).

After all of this, I thought I had to share my gameplay. It's wild and hilarious so here it is. From now on, I'll be posting Good Omens x The Sims 3 shenanigans under #chronicles of ineffability tag. There'll be both funny and romantic stuff that I come across in my game. So if you're interested, please hop on and let's have a good laugh^^

(i've already shared some of the screenshots/gifs in my main blog but now i'm moving here to post about sims separately)

Not me, coming into your inbox and giving you so much love---- love that you ceaselessly deserve. 🤍🤍🤍 I know that so far this month, when the world should be overcome with joy and festivities, that they would rather be hateful to those that they don't know online. So along with the lovely, sweet, beautiful anon that you received, I also wanted to bestow so much love to you.

Ever since I met you ( look I know we had each other a mutuals before Kol, but Kol is how we truly connected I think! But trust and believe it would have eventually happened ) you have been nothing but a shining, radiant, piercing light, cutting right through the veil of pure darkness that this site at times can be. They call this place a hellsite for a reason, and you've been nothing short of lovely. The kind soul that you are out of character, and the devastating ruin of a vampire that you are in character, it's something I've truly come to love, and it sure as hell didn't take much.

I want you to know how much you mean to me and the rpc as a whole. I have had others attack our ship, not understand it or why people like it but it's not for other's to love or to like. If they do that is great, and I am so happy they know good taste lmfao. But what you've created here in Kol, and what we've created together as the two halves that have made kolnausi, is something that cannot be watered down, tampered with or replicated. I am so sorry to those unfortunates that decided to not follow due to only wanting to ship with you, and I know that's been on your mind.

Your Kol is everything and so much more. Do you know how stunning, how dazzling, how radiant your soul truly is? Because I do. And you give your all, and so much love, and all of you, to others. And it's something I wish others weren't so afraid to do. You deserve all the love bestowed on you, and it's an honor and a privilege to be in your astounding orbit. I love you so much Alls, and I am so thankful to have you in my life! 🤍🤍🤍

i have this ask and never wanted to release it but i just lkdsb lksf i'm swooning okay? this is making my days and my nights and just shfskj i'm screaming at you for our babies and your muse, who is becoming kol's muse, you know? like, he could write tones of songs in his rockstar au for her??? think he wrote all of his album for her to declare his love or something. because she is just magical. ( not that she isn't in his every day life. because she is a witch or something. ) we love nausi in this house.

the fact that we have our muses married and all in the span of two month. the fact that we connected them right away. as if we were playing with barbies and told them to kiss and never let go of each other? the work we are putting onto them. i just can't help but love what we are creating even more.

from their da verse, where they are the worst for each other but becomes more and more everyday, from their bridgerton verse, where they become lovers but we know how it always ends up with one of them or the both dying to actually met again in a new universe. i love them and their story. and can't wait to sees more of them on my little computer screen.

the love and dedication you pour into nausi??? we can see the evolution and we so love it. she is unique and just perfection, like, i'm keeping her with me forever and always. just like i'm keeping you with me forever and always. best friend of mine, my soulmate. my lifeline. i love you and i hope this little message of love will put a smile on your face.

you deserve the love and recongnisation.

The Big Finnish Music Project for International Kääryleet, part 5.

Go to part 1 for all the context. We pick up where we left off in part 4, as the list is (more or less) in chronological order.

Martti Vainaa ja sallitut aineet

I'm linking this song not because of the artist but because of the song. It feels that these guys dropped this song and dipped. This song represents the sort of.. humour music genre, that started emerging in the 2000's and hit a peak in the 2010's. This song is called Pelimies, it's from 2005, and i remember this being played in my school disco when i was 12. It reminds me of exactly the sort of schoolboys as Mic Mac describes, and that’s why i wanted it on the list.

Sunrise Avenue

Apparently, if you're Slovenian, you know them..? Says Bojan. They were very popular in Finland, but I don't think their fame beyond Finland is fully like grasped by Finnish people. As far as i know, there are European countries where they were huge. This is their first hit, Fairytale Gone Bad, from 2006. They broke up a while ago, and the frontman Samu Haber is solo now. You might have seen him, if you watched UMK24 which he hosted.

Poets of the Fall

Rose to fame in the 2000's and had a few real hits, but as of today they actually have a massive cult following. One of the more influential rock bands in Finland. This video, Carnival of Rust, is also massively popular and quite a famous music video. This is from 2006 and i remember seeing this on tv a lot back then.

JUMPING INTO THE 2010'S

The 2010's saw the rise of rap and hiphop into the mainstream in a massive way. Not that they were ever marginal, but there was definitely a culture shift in the 2010's.

--

JVG

Possibly the most popular in the genre of rap currently, for the last 10 years or so, JVG are a rap duo who rose to fame in 2011 with the linked song, Häissä. They are also known for being hockey boys and weaving a lot of hockey and sports references into their music.

Petri Nygård

So this is what i meant about humour music rising to popularity in the 2010's. But y'all remember the 2010's right? It was a bit like that everywhere for a while, wasn't it. LMFAO, Gagnam Style, Duck Sauce etc etc. everyone was just being wacky for a few years, right? Well Petri Nygård was wacky and crass and stupid, on purpose. This is Selvä päivä from 2011.

Cheek

One of the most domestically successful artists in Finland. One of the rappers to bring American style hiphop culture to Finland, with the bling and the girls and the cars and the mannerisms and such, which all was becoming increasingly more popular in the 2010's. Cheek quit music in 2018. I chose this song, Syypää sun hymyyn from 2012, because Käärijä references the title line in Takavoltti.

Robin Packalen

I know some of you know him from the Käärijä boyfriend Pokedex, and from competing against him in UMK. But Finnish people knew Robin originally from making a song about a girl pulling a sick frontside ollie on a skateboard when he was 14 years old in 2012. The Robin phenomenon among teen girls in particular was nuclear in size. He's like the Finnish Justin Bieber.

Haloo Helsinki!

Domestically speaking a massively successful rock band, Haloo Helsinki! broke through in 2008 when the members were barely out of high school. They've been a constantly strong presence in rock ever since, even though they took a bit of a break a few years ago. They have their own recongnisable style and are just generally well loved in Finland. This song is one of their biggest hits Beibi, from 2014.

End of part 5. The next part takes us from 2015 to 2024, and then there is one extra bonus part for some deeply Finnish musical moments...
