"We're trying to get away from the whole sɛx thing. People were starting to think I was arrogant. I just read some review of the album, and this aṣṣhole said I was apparently full of myself. I don't think that at all. We just wanted to get away from the sex thing because it was embarrassing me. It's just that...well, there are other things in life besides autumn, women, religion, and fire...the things I normally write about. Now, we chose death, drugs, depression, and Halloween."

~Peter Steele, Outburn Interview, January 2000~

"(Everything I Do) I Do it For You" by Bryan Adams

“Look, there's Salim!” Jason pointed, letting out a breath of relief. He reached for his radio. “Salim, come in man. You there?”

“I'm surrounded,” Salim whispered back. “Vampires... so many vampires.”

Jason felt his heart plummet into his stomach and grow cold. His brain went into a panic. He knew Salim could handle himself, but that was only against one vampire. Their explosions woke up who knew how many, and they were all pissed.

“Too risky,” Nick argued. “You go down there, you'll die with him.” That was true. If Jason went down there, he'd be putting his life on the line. Jason couldn't imagine a life where Salim was gone.

“Salim's one of us now,” he decided, “and marines don't leave their own behind. You hearin' me, Salim?”

“If I don't make it,” Salim replied, “tell my son I did everything I could.”

“Tell him yourself. I'm comin' to get you.”

Jason hopped down into the vault and charged forward. He would do whatever it took to get to Salim, to keep him safe.

– – –

Gunfire announced Jason's arrival. Salim's heart soared seeing the marine. He spared Jason a smile before turning and finishing off the vampire Jason had distracted.

“So you've come to join the fun?” he asked with a laugh. Jason flashed a smile back, switching out his rifle clip with a fresh one. He was so focused on that he didn't see the vampire rearing up behind him. “Jason!” Salim cried out. He reacted without thinking, hurling his stake like a javelin. Jason ducked out of the way, the stake making impact in the vampire's chest.

Salim rushed in and pulled the weapon out, smacking the vampire across the face to knock it to the ground. He stood over it and staked it again to make sure it was dead. Salim looked up to catch Jason's eye. The man was staring at him with his mouth hanging open.

“Did you seriously just throw that thing at me?” he demanded.

“I did,” Salim answered with a laugh. Jason grinned at him but quickly shook it off.

They ran to the exit side by side. Salim glanced Jason's way again. Some movement behind them caught his attention and he looked over his shoulder. Some ancient thing was watching them leave. It had a spear in its hand. Horror seized him a moment before the ancient one made his throw. Salim didn't even pay attention to where the creature was aiming. All he knew was that he had to protect Jason.

He grabbed the marine, pulling him out of the way. The two of them hit the ground and rolled. Salim heard a metallic thunk and stared where it landed. Right where Jason would have been standing. Salim's hands tightened around the marine for just a moment before the two were scrambling on their feet and running again.

– – –

They stood side by side, a knife in one hand and a flare in the other. This would be their last stand in the six minutes of darkness.

“It has been interesting knowing you,” Salim said.

“This? This is bullshit. I'm not here to honor the dead. Truth is, my life was goin' nowhere fast. I jumped at the chance to sign up.” … “When those towers were hit, I was stoned outta my fuckin' skull. I didn't even hear about it 'til a week later. How's that for profound?”

“Zain is all I have left in this world. After my wife left us, I gave him my all.” … “My boy has made me very proud. If only he would stop stealing.”

“If we both want to live, we must fight as one: the sword and the shield.”

“Whatever happens down there, I got your back.”

“Let's light these fuckers up!” Jason said. Their eyes met and they shared a quick smile. It was a dire moment, but they would both choose to stand here together than anywhere else alone.

– – –

Sunlight was glowing through the holes in the shepherd's hut. Screams from the dying vampires finally stopped. The five of them exchanged tired smiles. Finally it was over. Salim gave most of them a passing glance, lingering the longest on Jason. The marine met his stare. Salim wished he could express how much this man meant to him the past few hours. Especially that moment when Jason charged in to save him.

The rhythmic thumping of helicopter blades cut through the silence. Jason abruptly rose to his feet. He gave a little jerk with his head before walking into another room. Salim waited a few beats before following.

“I fuckin' forgot Eric called in air support before the mission,” Jason blurted out.

“It was a smart decision,” Salim reasoned.

“I thought so at the time, but now...” Jason's brow creased, his eyes tense with worry. “I'm sorry, Salim.”

“If you're apologizing for saving me, I don't know how to feel about it,” Salim said, trying for a light tone. Jason pressed his lips together in a stern line.

“I can try to distract 'em,” Jason offered. “Give you time to escape.”

“No. This time, I'll charge into danger for you, Jason.”

Jason opened his mouth, closing it again with a dazed expression. They stood there in silence, gazes locked, until Jason broke it. Salim followed after him where the other Americans were already gathering outside. Military men wearing gas masks exited the helicopter. They were guiding the survivors inside. Salim instantly held his hands up in a sign of surrender.

“Easy, fellas,” Jason warned before any of them could point their guns at Salim. “He's with me. I see any of you point your guns at him, your ass is mine.”

They saluted in answer. Jason stuck close to Salim's side just in case, sitting next to him inside the copter. He caught Salim's eye again and nodded to him. Salim gave him a little smile in return. If Jason could face vampires, Salim could face the US military.

He didn't even feel afraid. He knew the consequences of his choice, but he would make it all the same.

– – –

Jason squirmed restlessly in his chair. He was getting tired of going over the story. No matter how many times he said it, the situation wasn't going to get any less fucked.

“Fuck!” he burst out. “How many times do I have to keep tellin' you the same damn story?!”

“I understand,” the person in the hazmat suit responded. “However, CENTCOM needs to iron out any... irregularities.”

“Such as?” Jason fumed. “The whole fuckin' thing was irregular!”

“Such as why you allied with an enemy combatant?”

Jason knew they were going to bring that up eventually. Rage boiled just under the surface. Why didn't they just slap him with the label of “betrayer to your country” and get it over with? He was about ready to jump out of the chair and deck the guy, just to make it official.

“You weren't fuckin' there! Those things were rippin' us to shreds! I don't give a damn who it was, we needed all the help we could get!” He let out a frustrated breath, but he wasn't done yet. Not even close. He wanted these people to understand exactly where he stood. “I stepped back into that hell to save Salim,” Jason declared. “That man is worth five of you people! Semper-fuckin-'fi!”

Silence hung in the air after his rant. They would understand what he was saying. Always loyal to Salim. Not to you, not to the goddamn military. So go fuck yourself.

No warnings just I don't know about my taste in music.

Mammon

I know everyone uses this 😂

His love is everything

My favorite Abba song.

It's too perfect

[lilacwriter07]

'Psychopaths In Love' tag and Dark Horse by Katy Perry are a good mix for an Adamsapple fanfic 🤔

"Adam ! Don't open the gate, you can't Lucifer inside !" Sera pleaded at the first human, covered in golden blood one hand holding tight on the head of former angel Rapheal .

"Shut it ." Adam grins as he opens the gate, and slowly the devil steps inside . Blood dripping from his hands and mouth, as his giant demonic form crawls inside .

"I am home ~"

( something like this maybe ? 🤔)

[toomanyfanficsnotimetowriteem]

Some other music that's inspired fic ideas for me:

"Faithfully" [would be called "Two Strangers Learn to Fall in Love Again"] (Rinzler and Lucifelia{Rectified Yori} fall in love despite Clu's best efforts to keep them apart)

"Welcome to the Machine" (If instead of taking over the Grid, Clu trapped Flynn inside and replace him in the real world?)

"We'll Meet Again" (During Uprising, Tron and Flynn unknowingly connect their dreams while Tron is resting in his healing chamber and Flynn is meditating)

"Deliver Us" (Silly one-shot AU idea; Clu is the pharaoh, Beck is Moses, and Yori is his mother)

"1985" (A typical day in the life of Kevin Flynn until the fic ends with his wife's death)

[arc852]

While Shattered Reflections is brought up, I thought I would share the song that literally inspired the entire fic. And, funny enough, the preview spotify gave me to post is the exact part that inspired the fic the most.

[hunniegl4zed]

"Can't Wait" By TLT is the song of Mayhem's Soul.

That or "Long-Time Friends" (Same artist)

TLT makes such BANGERS 👀👀👀🔥🔥🔥 Both of them suit Mayhem perfectly ✨✨✨✨

[thepenultimateword]

Just had an idea and want to gauge interest!

Recently I did a writing challenge/event made by @epiclamer and @save-the-villainous-cat where we surrendered an ask and gained one in return to write a story about. It was really fun and part of its purpose was to reignite writing activity on tumblr. Well, I want to inspire the same thing but with a new challenge.

I get a lot of my writing inspiration from music. I like to apply lyrics to my characters or imagine new stories, I’ve even gotten out of plot holes by listening to songs. While listening to music today, I thought about how it would be cool to write or read a story based specifically on a song. I think it would be fun if everyone who wants to participate in this challenge submits a song. Then in returned everyone will randomly receive a song that they must go listen to and base a story on. It’s up to writer how they used the song for inspiration whether it’s the lyrics, message, vibe, etc. as along as it can be plausibly linked to that song. I’d probably set a deadline, and out of fairness, people would have to really commit to write something if they join, that way everyone gets a story for the song they submitted.

So what do y’all think? If I get enough interest, I’ll organize it. (And don’t worry, this post isn’t an official sign up for it or anything, just seeing interest)

[zarxen]

F<3ck it, were giving into the cringe

ECHO cover redraw with a really old tvhead oc I was thinking about again. (MV on left, OG on right, Def recommend listening to the song). I've had them for a long time, the concept came to me in a delusion and I never really got rid of them <3

+bonus wip I started of the exact character I'm never going to finish

So Far Away by Carole King

[Baba?] Salim blinked out of his thoughts and turned to focus on his son. Zain was watching him with a worried expression on his face. [Are you sure you'll be all right while I'm at school?]

[Yes, of course I will, son,] Salim assured him.

[Okay.] He didn't looked convinced, and honestly Salim couldn't blame him.

Salim hadn't been sleeping well ever since he came back from the Sumerian temple. His waking hours weren't much better: his thoughts kept drifting off to an American in a gray cap with a cowboy accent. That was where his thoughts were just moments ago. Did air support ever come to retrieve Jason and the other Americans?

[Baba,] Zain prodded him again. [Maybe you should go out tonight.]

[Go out?] Salim repeated in confusion.

[You've been in the house for days,] the boy reasoned. [Go out. Maybe make a new friend?] He raised both eyebrows in a clear signal. How embarrassing for his son to suggest such a thing, of all people.

[Zain, really, I don't think--]

[I just worry about you being by yourself,] Zain explained. [And besides, it's been five years since Maysa left.]

[I'll go out, if you're that worried,] Salim soothed him, [but I make no promises about any new 'friends'.]

Besides, he already had a new “friend” that he couldn't get off his mind. Of course, Jason wasn't exactly the same sort of “friend” Zain was alluding to, but he was also more than just a passing acquaintance. Salim didn't really know how to categorize his relationship with the marine. If he only knew how Jason was doing, it would ease a burden on his mind.

How was he going to contact the man? All he knew were names-- nothing about where Jason and the others were stationed or how long their tour was meant to last. Remembering Jason's comment about getting a drink when they were topside, Salim grasped at the flimsy straw and went bar-hopping. Salim only meant to look for the marine, instead sitting down and drinking. When he got home he was a little drunk but not any closer to knowing what happened to Jason.

Salim ended up falling asleep on the couch. At some point he heard a knock at the door. Groggy and hung over, Salim staggered to his feet. He had the irrational thought that it was Jason on the other side. Excited, Salim hurried to answer. He deflated when he saw it was just his neighbor.

[Please turn out your light,] he was scolded. [It's past midnight.]

Salim apologized and turned off his lights. Of course it wasn't Jason. How would the American even know where Salim lived? He really needed to get that man out of his mind. This ache in his chest, this pining for someone Salim knew for mere hours…

Allah. I think… I think I… Salim swallowed hard as he let himself think the words. I love him.

Oh, when the sun loves the moon Never touching but never far Oh, at the break of day A summer's ray A moonlit night that casts away Their love remains, their love remains...

No warnings. Let's have fun.

Beel

We all know Beel wants the watermelon sugar

All he wants to do is protect his loved ones. He just wants to look after you.

"Thinking of you is enough, need no food". "We’ll have a feast for all-out friends at our wedding." The song is way more romantic than you expect

Many very popular Indian sweets are mentioned. It's sexy food 😂
