#snowbaz soundtrack

[valeffelees]

hey, what's up. i hope August has been kind to y'all. 🖤

thank you to those who've continued to tag me in their wipsday posts these last couple weeks. i'm in pretty rough shape these days, so y'all have no idea how much i look forward to sundays and wednesdays, even when i don't have the energy to engage with fandom as fully as i'd like to.

i thought i'd share a bit more of the chat-fic i affectionately refer to as "bitverse" today. 💫 i've shared two other snippets from this fic before, [here] and [here] if you're curious.

Agatha doesn’t text him until quarter-to midnight. “Home safe,”  she says. And then, “Sorry.”  And, “We went out for supper.” Simon slouches in his chair, wedging a knee into the space between his stomach and his desk, the edge digging into his shin. It’s sharp and tight and not at all comfortable. He texts back, “it’s ok,”  and, “where at?” “That Italian place downtown.” “ew,”  he says, and she reacts to it with a thumbs-up. “Did I wake you?”  she asks. “no,”  he says. Then, “DQ tmrw?” Agatha reads his message, but doesn’t respond right away. The three dots pulse on her side of the screen for three strange, awkwardly long minutes before she finally replies with, “Maybe,”  followed quickly by, “Ask again in the morning, I can’t think about ice cream when I’m tired.” “are you going to bed?” “Yeah, sorry.” “it’s ok,”  he says, “it’s late. night aggie” “Night.” “ily,”  he says. She reacts to that with a thumbs-up, too. Simon locks his phone and drops it on his chest.

🖤🖤🖤

It’s an honor and a privilege to work with @theearlgreymage and @artsyunderstudy on our COBB project Eirlys.

I present to you the first song from the slowly releasing Eirlys EP:

I’ve traveled many miles from the east // with my smile the mark of the beast // full devotion I’m a wicked priest // crossing every line I ever conceived like it’s the air I breathe

here’s my open wound // all bloodied and bruised // can I say something true? // I am scared of you

the byproduct of bad prophecy // are four horsemen and they were all me // full destruction crushed by my own debris // grant some mercy the year of jubilee on this broken body

here’s my open wound // all bloodied and bruised // can I say something true? // I am scared of you // down in flames we’ve burnt // ashes in the dirt // let the soil rebirth // new heaven and earth

wanna plant a tree? // watch it grow with me // wanna plant a tree? (x2)

here’s my open wound // all bloodied and bruised // can I say something true? // I am scared of you // down in flames we’ve burnt // ashes in the dirt // let the soil rebirth // new heaven and earth

First Line Analysis

Thanks @kiwiana-writes for the tag! Apparently even though I've been back in fandom for two years, that doesn't equate to ten fics. So this includes the opening line from one of my ancient Battlestar Galactica fics. Which, honestly stands up IMO.

RULES: post the first lines of your last 10 fics/chapters posted on AO3 (if you have less than 10 fics posted, post the first lines of all your fics) and try to draw some conclusions.

Lines

The Co-captain D-men Reveille (™, patent not yet pending) spits out a rapid guitar riff, the CD alarm and selection of Haus mix CDs randomizing their wake-up soundtrack to Infinity Guitars. (Friday Prime - a Check Please Ransom/Holster time loop fic)

The call comes at 3am. (finally (already, always) - a Carry On Snowbaz fic but let's be honest a love story to lesbian mums, still a WIP)

The ocean is a warped mirror, and the sun is glancing into my eyes from its every shifting peak. (Feet Burried in the Sand - a Carry On Snowbaz fic)

If you've never seen a MG in person, you aren't ready for it. (Three Months or 3,000 Miles - a Carry on Snowbaz fic)

It's very hot. (Visible at sea - an In Other Lands / Turn of the Story Sunbrat fic)

The day I became a Sophomore, as our dorms rotated down, my room was suddenly twice its previous size. (A Dangerous Affinity - a Carry On x Naomi Novik's Scolomance Snowbaz epic)

The first thing I noticed about Agatha was the line where her jaw slopes into her neck, the interplay of tendons and skin and bone: the sternocleidomastoid, the hyoids, the styloid process. (scapulae - a smutty femslash offshoot of A Dangerous Affinity, so technically a Carry On fic featuring Agatha/OC)

It’s been ages since I’ve walked in on Snow crying into his pillow. (Good at Something - a Carry On Snowbaz blowjob epic)

We’re leaving the movie theatre when Penny sees the ice cream shop. (Baby, it's cold - a Carry on Snowbaz+Stormchaser fluff-fest)

He wouldn’t say his ears are ringing, but there’s something vibrating just like that, his consciousness modulating on its axis. (An Arranged Meeting - a Battlestar Galactica Starbuck/Apollo sex club fic)

Analysis

Apparently I have two types of opening lines: SNAPPY AS FUCK and heavy with figurative language.

Literally none of these tell you who the POV character is. Apparently I like to keep that information close to my chest.

Most of these seem to be about establishing concrete details that will be relevant to the story. Only 2 and 8 don't do that work.

Looks like I'm into showing not telling. In context all of these lines except for 9 have meaningful emotional weight, but I'm going to make you work for it.

Getting to Know Me (and You)

Thanks for the tag, @bazzybelle!

1. 3 ships I really like right now: This is hard for me for a very different reason...I really only like one ship at a time and I'm hardcore loyal to the ship for literal years. That said, I'll scrabble up a number 2 and 3, but my OTP is, to no-one's surprise:

SnowBaz: I've never found any couple in any form of media as endlessly interesting and inspiring as these boys. They're both so difficult in such different ways, and yet both so loveable. I simultaneously want to hug them until they heal and shake them until they see sense lol. But I guess that's what fic writing is for!

Andreil: These boys are even bigger disasters than Simon and Baz, so of course I Iove them. But I've never felt the slightest urge to write about them, so that love is a far distant second.

Elliot Schafer/ Luke Sunborn: Again, I love these flawed, lovely boys, but I don't even think about them often enough to know if there's a ship name for them!

2. First ever ship: Err...probably a pair of my little ponies or care bears or something. The first I remember is She-ra and Seahawk from the OG She-ra series. The first one I really cared about was Mulder and Scully from X-files.

3. Last song: @foolofabookwyrm-activated would laugh, because I honestly think my most recent song was Never Gonna Give You Up, when I rickrolled my last class today. Other than that? I remember hearing Phoenix, by Fallout Boy on the drive home? My music taste is kinda all over the place, but if I had to pin point a style, I'd have to say songs from movie soundtracks 😂

4. Last movie: Oh god...it's been so fucking long since I sat through a whole movie. I'm sure it was whatever Marvel or Pixar or Disney movie that came to theatres most recently? Hell, maybe it was the Barbie Movie. I do remember seeing that in theatres over the summer.

5. Currently reading: SnowBaz fanfiction, pretty much always. I've gotten terrible about finishing novels as life has grown busier and more chaotic. I think the last one I finished was maybe Ocean's Echo?

6. Currently watching: My favorite dancer on Tik Tok (for fic inspiration and also just because he's amazing).

7. Currently eating: Nothing.

8. Currently craving: Nothing--upset stomach tonight, food sounds blech.

I'm not sure if there were tagging rules for this, but I'd love to here from @cutestkilla, @artsyunderstudy, @ivelovedhimthroughworse, @frjsti, @carryonsimoncarryonbaz, @fatalfangirl, @facewithoutheart, @you-remind-me-of-the-babe, @moodandmist, and @giishu

Get to know me game

Thanks @aroace-genderfluid-sheep for the tag!

3 ships I really like right now

You know the drill. It's still Klaine, Snowbaz, Zimbits.

First ever ship

I think it might've been Bloom/Sky from Winx Club, which, girl, no. But alas, I was a wee child back then.

Last song

I am currently listening to the Splatoween 2023 soundtrack from Splatoon 3.

Last movie

I don't watch a lot of movies. I think Nimona might also have been my last.

Currently reading

Harrow the Ninth. I finished Gideon the Ninth recently and I am moving on to the next book. I admit I have mixed feels so far.

Currently watching

Right now? Nothing. I am constantly rewatching Nerdy Prudes Must Die and the new Dan and Phil Sims 4 video. Series wise, I am slowly watching Our Flag Means Death since @when-kurt-met-blaine kindly timestamps the triggering stuff for me.

Currently eating

I just had bad pho. I made it myself from a bouillonblokje or whatever it is called in English. This:

Currently craving

Pizza, but good pizza, not trash like Domino's. I blame the two pizza games that I am currently playing (Pizza Possum and Good Pizza, Great Pizza)

I am once again taking the lazy route cause I am very tired, so anyone feel free to do it. Tag me!

[tyrannuspitch]

[tsugarubecker]

please pay me attention im out of control (and im super super proud of this actually)

[shrekgogurt]

so to make a long story short i was listening to "stay down" by boygenius and was like omg this is so baz pitch wait no it's even more simon snow omg they match wait uh oh the horrors it's also ME so here you are (lyrics under the cut)

Wasn't a fighter until somebody told me I had better learn to lean into the punch So it don't hurt as bad when they leave There you were, turning your cheek I look at you and you look at a screen I'm in the back seat of my body I'm just steering my life in a video game Similar accent a different name It's a slow down So would you teach me I'm the villain, aren't I? Aren't I the one constantly repenting for a difficult mind? Push me down into the water like a sinner, hold me under And I'll never come up again I'll just stay down It's a half life, it's a fallout It takes so long for me to settle down And when I finally do, there's no one else around So I stay down

[peeepeeepooopoo]

do yourself a favour and in each soft snowbaz moment in awtwb listen to "like real people do" by hozier

I Made A Thing (Pt. 2)

Hello all, I’ve made another thing!

I didn’t really expect to be writing another fic soon after finishing the first one but I couldn’t get this idea out of my head and I really wanted to try and write Simon and Baz post-Carry On as adults trying to navigate a world that neither of them expected to live to. I hope that I did these two beautiful, strong characters justice, portrayed their emotional growth and their own journeys justice. 

So, without further ado, here’s my fic, “We Can Be Heroes”

[kaaaaaaarf]

3 & 5 for the Writer Playlist ask, author’s choice!

Hello there!! 💕 Oooh I love this ask!

Okay, so I don't (currently) write Snowbaz, but from my Baz playlist:

3. A song that 🥺 ouchie hurts angst

Seen by DEZI for sure 🥺🥺: Darlin' I would wait for you But I know you don't want me to You could break me, and I'd buy the glue But I'll settle for a notch on your bedpost [...] Now I think I see why your ex-boyfriend calls you cold 'Cause he never took the time to learn your trauma and love you whole

Oh! So for Murder Husbands, music features heavily (especially for the second chapter) - in fact, the second chapter has it's own secret playlist that will be posted as soon as it is. ✌🏼

5. A song for a badass scene

Press by Cardi B features in a pretty important/badass scene for chapter two....👀 In general, I would say that if Murder Husbands was a movie, Toxic from the Promising Young Woman soundtrack would be like, Remus' theme for the whole thing.
