niche blorbo post number 624 get excited

[safrona-shadowsun]

Tell me, Saffarooni? Do you believe in the art of claiming ownership of your partner? Do you believe in leaving your brand and mark upon them? A reminder that no matter where they may go in life, there will always be a part of you to remind them that their heart, soul, and body was yours to touch? To embrace? To feel?

A penned note was left at the bar for the nameless inquisitor, the usual ritual for anonymous confessors that left no offered confessions themselves. Or did they, merely in the questioning?

No mark needs to be made to lay a claim, or to feel a belonging. I would hope my love comes to me of his own will, of his own want. Not a desire that's imposed. But sometimes strange bonds grow in strange ways, bring souls closer. That, I believe in.

PS: You use a nickname that I only know one to use, but these are not questions he would ask. If you will play pretend, at least do me the favor of buying me lunch. It has been his turn to pay for a long time.

{ Tagging @unabashedrebel because he coined the nickname "Saffarooni ;) though I sincerely doubt he submitted this ask! Little references for @thefirstperished too. }

I’m so excited to be starting my first Dallas residency on March 30th and every Thursday! When I got here I had a hard time finding events and things to do! If you are new to the area @dtxkiss is elegant! This is the type of spot where it’s not unusual to see people hop out of a Maybach’s 🍾🥂upscale is my vibe and I live for the fashion that is in and out! I’ll be playing mostly soul music & R&B but also breaking in with some hip hop and afrobeats here and there! It’s a 25+ crowd in the lounge upstairs. Good music, outstanding food and drinks, and BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE! So so dope! 💕 come out and party with me! I hope to meet my fav commentator @claudiajordan in there some time! Or maybe the soulful @musicbyla_ @therealdjhoney is always a vibe! Or even the @scattaafrobeats squad #randb #randbmusic #dallasevent #dallasevents #deepellum #deepellumtexas #djbellascratch #bellascratch #kissdallas #randbsoul #randbartist #uptowndallas #dallasuptown #randbsinger #soulmusic #soulmusiclovers #soulmusiclives #soulartist #dallasnightlife #soulsinger #soulsingers #randbsong #randbsongs #soulsong #soulsongs #grownandsexy #randbsoulmix #dallassoul #dallasdj #dallasdjs (at Dallas, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqE8CD_NPir/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Aretha Franklin "Sweet Passion" 本作は、大ヒット作前出の"Sparkle"から1年振り、完全オリジナルとしては"You"から2年振り、23番目のスタジオアルバム。 1976年のサウンド・トラックアルバム"Sparkle"のゴールド認定の成功で、アレサの売り上げが短期間で復活した後、有名なモータウンの美メロ魔術師プロデューサー Lamont Dozier(ラモン・ドジャー)とペアを組んで制作した作品。 がしかし、セールス的にはBillboard 49位/Billboard R&B 6位と振るわず... 。 1976-1977年ABC Recording Studios and Whitney Recording Studios (A1 mixed at Studio 55.) 録音＆ミキシング、1977年5月19日リリース。 楽曲の方は、全般的にジャジーなアレンジがゴスペルっぽい歌唱とマッチ、いかにもラモン・ドジャーらしいドラマチックなメロウ・グルーヴ全開のアルバム。しかし、当時の音楽シーンの流行とソウルファンの期待からは、ずれてしまったのか.. 。 コーラスもなく、ジャズ・バンドのような6人編のSextet。ベースにレイ・ブラウン、ギターにリー・リトナーやレイ・パーカー・ジュニアの名前もあり、超豪華なんですが。 #AtlanticRecords ‎– SD 19102 Side A-1 "Break It to Me Gently" - 1stシングル、17曲目となるR&B 1位/POP 85位。R&Bが時代的に低迷している時期ながら、アレサの新たなR&Bムーヴメントを感じます。Carole Bayer Sager 作、しなやかかつ力強いヴォーカル、シリアスなバラード。 共同制作者としてマーティ・ペイチと息子のデヴィッド・ペイチ(TOTO)、ギターは、リー・リトナー&レイ・パーカー・ジュニア。 A-2 "When I Think About You" - 2ndシングル、R&B 16位。アレサ作のスロウでしなやかでスケール感ある全盛期にはないニューソウル的なナンバー。 レイ・パーカー・ジュニアのギター。 A-3 "What I Did For Love" - これまでのアレサにはなかったような哀愁感たっぷりのバラード。肩の力を抜いて紡がれる、見事な表現力。 ベースは、レイ・ブラウン。 A-4 "No One Could Ever Love You More" - Lamont Dozier 作。ストリングスを配した流れるようなミディアム・ハイな曲。 リー・リトナー&レイ・パーカー・ジュニアのギター。 A-5 "A Tender Touch" - アルバムの流れを決定づけているアレサ作の壮大なアップテンポのラヴ・バラード。 本作もギターは、リー・リトナー&レイ・パーカー・ジュニア。 Side B-1 "Touch Me Up" - Lamont Dozier 作。2ndシングルB面、77年以降Aristaに移籍する前までの短い間活躍したライヴ定番曲。 ギターは、リー・リトナー。 B-2 "Sunshine Will Never Be the Same" - Lamont Dozier 作。ゆったりとした平和なサウンドを散りばめた豊かな気持ちになれる楽曲。レイ・パーカー・ジュニアのギター。 B-3 "Meadows of Springtime (Aretha Franklin)" - アレサ作、メロウでとろけるような流れ。 レイ・ブラウンのベース。 B-4 "Mumbles / I've Got the Music in Me" - メドレー形式ながら3分程のジャズテイスト、アッパーで豪快なスキャットが聴き処。本作もベースはレイ・ブラウン。 B-5 "Sweet Passion (Aretha Franklin)" - ラストは若干重たくありつつも、最後までしなやかさの落ちないムーディバラード。リー・リトナー&レイ・パーカー・ジュニアのギター。 #ArethaFranklin #RayBrown (b) #LeeRitenour (g) #RayParkerJr (g) #LamontDozier #DavidPaich #MartyPaich 名作と評価されても良さそうなのですが、ソウルファンの中では評価は低いそう。前作"You"はマイアミ的な明るい心地良さ、次作"Almighty Fire"はカーティス・メイフィールド関連、次々作 "La Diva"はArista移籍直前のディスコサウンドと何かと話題性はありますが。 #soulmusic #fuzey #soulsinger #queenofsoul #vinyl #vinylcollection #soulrecords #recordcollection #arethafranklintribute #gospel  #アレサフランクリン #ソウルミュージック #ゴスペル #レコード ※作品を知り、ソウルの素晴らしさを伝えたい。様々なソースをアレンジ、先輩諸氏に感謝。 https://www.instagram.com/p/CnJ7LohPdaY/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The High Councillors of Morilast

(As of Obsidian Sapphires; some of the notable predecessors will come later 👀)

Seven individuals of contrasted paths, united by murder and the legacy of their namesake's desire for divinity. Rumours, stories and superstitions dating back thousands of years decorate their title, for which they are the next chapter, as Helinda's Magistrate grows restless.

Morilaste sits north of Helinda, nestled in the foothills of the Vilhaontian Steppes. Though separate in their daily affairs, the Court of Morilast is still bound by Helinda's founding treaty. Upon inheriting the Mark of Morilast, embedded is a stipulation that for every moment after a day and a minute that a High Councillor spends outside Morilaste's borders, they will descend into madness.

The Cast

Arguably the hallmark of anyone afflicted with his Mark, a painful process by which one undergoes a severe growth spurt that shoots them to literal new heights. Actual biological giants in this world don't grow this tall, the general average range is 20-32 feet (tallest non-spelled giant was 38 feet tall, which is still short by High Councillor standards)

The Serpent Soulsinger — Najsha

She's devious, daring, with a touch of arrogance. To strike a deal with her is to get a piece of jewellery to signify it. Her signature hallmark is the serpent, she has a golden snake ring on her right hand that she's fearful of breaking above all else. Also, she has purple fire.

(Features here)

The High Riding Menace — Namon

Life is an opportunity to be seized. He's an adventurous, fun-loving sort, but could do with being more serious when it matters. Also, he has attempted to flirt with Eshani on more than one occasion.

The Sage — Ordune

The foil and balancing act amongst a group of High Councillors with a penchant for death and drama, his calm and measured disposition is a benefit for most. Also of particular importance to Affril (beneath all of Affril's jokes and banter and failure to admit that)

The Fox Prince — Affril

A strong flamboyant streak bursts through him. Drama and grandeur are his specialty, nothing angers him more than being upstaged. (He is a bit sensitive by times, quick enough to anger.)

Also, has an excellent eye for art and aesthetics. From a sharp fashion sense to adorning his manor with gold filigree and fine paintings, statues, other artworks, he doesn't shy away from the bright and bold.

(Also, one of the prominent High Councillors in Soulswapped)

Lady Alchemist — Orlaith

A wolf in lamb's clothing. Her calm, quiet nature and short stature in comparison to the others makes her overlooked. But she enjoys it. Her skills lie in alchemy, making potions and cures for whenever someone needs it. She's also an expert in poisons and intricate spellwork, with a natural affinity for water.

Fate's Prodigy — Eshani

The newest on the block, having only gotten her Mark ten years prior, yet has slipped in like a hand to the glove. People admire and fear her, not realising just how many secrets are flowing around in her head. (Claudia attempts to use her sometimes, for Eshani has some of what she lacks; elemental magic [fire] and a personality that draws people in.)

(Features here)

(Also, one of the perspective characters in Obsidian Sapphires)

Morilast's Reprisal — Claudia

Just as Helinda's superstition of crows being associated with bad luck and the Court of Morilast started to die down, she turned up and resurrected it. A large number of crows swear loyalty to herself and her Second, for her manor offers safety and comfort, and the two of them are crow shifters. Her great weakness is in plain sight, however.

Features in:

- Divine Ransom

- A Pawn for a Greater Cause

- A Dance With Death

(She's one of the antagonists in Obsidian Sapphires, and a side character in Soulswapped)

Also, just as a side thing, I'm planning on doing a collection of stories set in Morilaste/following the High Councillors (known as This Blood-Stained Charcuterie). The how and why and all the juicy stuff surrounding the Court's namesake is going to appear in there too :D

Good afternoon!

Today is the 30th anniversary of the release of Legends, one of my favorite sets from when I started playing.

I know you've mentioned your love of Hell's Caretaker, but did you have a favorite Legend from Legends?

When Legends first came out, my favorite legendary creature from it was Rubinia Soulsinger.

[ghostcond]

doodle page of the au i made that is completely self indulgent and for myself (i wanted him to go to therapy)

i talked about how fucked up it was that he was just Out There once in this post if you want to read it....... so yeah

[safrona-shadowsun]

🧡 Who is your OC’s favourite person? Why is this person the top of their list and have they actually met them (an idol or rolemodel or celeb can be someone’s favourite after all!).

"My husband is my favorite person," Safrona answered almost by default. "Not that I haven't met some others that have their weight in my life, but my Orchid is home. That has not changed in some years." The void elf curbed the spilling of other would-be thoughts with a careful smile. "If that explanation doesn't serve you, you might ask him yourself, no?"

{ @thefirstperished }

[xaeyrnofnbe]

this is one of my various wof ocs, tarsier! she’s weird and silly, with some morbid interests, primarily in her collection of various bones and skulls. easily one of the most adventurous rainwings in her village, but always drags along her nightwing best friend, soulsinger.

she’s also transgender, which is one of the things i wish the books had touched upon, as i imagine the different tribes would have very differing and interesting views on that sort of thing. in this case, i think the rainwings are chill. her village is much more concerned with the young dragon’s fascination for the dead than they are for how she identifies.

additionally, it is her adventurous nature that results in her and soulsinger getting involved in the main plot of my story for them.

btw don’t like without reblogging. i go through my notes, I See You.

Day 23 of the #BlackMusicMonthChallenge — “Your fave from a musical family legacy.”

‘Hello It’s Me’ x The Isley Brothers feels soooo good to me! I feel like my whole nervous system just chills out whenever I hear this song. I just realized that I also could’ve used this song for Day 22’s challenge because they outdid themselves on this cover! The way they arranged Todd Rundgren’s song is a masterpiece within itself.
