I don't like skyblings too much, however that doesn't mean I don't like family headcanons/dynamics
Actually im a sucker for family dynamics, me and my sister both are, and love projecting on silly cubitos a lot (funny cause in this specific duo our genders are swapped)
So I present to you: Snowblings propaganda
Its Scar and Pearl!
First of all they kinda look alike, to the point I've mixed them up in fanart before, which sounds dumb but I'm so fr like actually its happened and I find that funny.
Second, I just love their duo on DL, I lowkey wished they became chosen soulmates, I mean theyre kinda paralels? But on opposite senses?? My sister knew the proper term for this. Like- Pearl got abandoned by her soulmate, and they parted ways completely, resenting eachother. Meanwhile, Scar got cheated on, but even after the betrayal and all that he stayed with Grian and didn't yknow take actual revenge like Pearl did constantly to Scott..
Headcanon section:
Also I love that they seem like- So I think if they were actually related possibly before the series and all, maybe got separated and their memories erased by the watchers? But still met again and took eachother as found family, not knowing the truth. Also, likewise to my online sis and I, I feel like Scar is older in actual age but when you see them interact its like Pearl is the older one.
Also!! Wolf and cat duo, I think thats silly.
And I think possibly they could've hang out more even if we dont see it on camera, trust... like sitting on powdered snow at night as they talk (its mostly Pearl rambling/venting/plotting chaos and Scar being supportive, possibly also making sure she doesn't freeze to death)
Another plus! Scar was a wizard on LL while Pearl got called the witch of DL! And both got villanised a lot on the seasons they won... and they both spent their whole seasons mostly alone, with a small team up at the end...
Pearl was all alone in DL and Scar helped her and kept her company when he could, even if she was unhinged and probably insisted he got revenge aswell. Scar was all alone for most of SL and Pearl still offered him a family in the end... she wanted one of her mounders to win... and he was the last one left, he *was* an actual mounder even if just for one episode, cause she could've helped Gem win, also her best friend (who I see as found cousins, also cause of my relationship with an online cousin), but she wanted her mounders to win, and thats what Scar was, not only that, Scar was her brother, her family.
Have you also considered that Scar, Pearl and Bdubs could make the best found sibling trio ever?
I just think they're the best ever, comfort duo fr..
(A bit Pluto Scar propaganda too, shot out to my genius lil sis for the arguments) Pluto has 5 moons, Scar killed 6 ppl in the finale, but the last one was Pearl who IS the moon. Except to Scar she's more than just another moon, Pearl, who wanted him to win, who offered him a place to belong to, a family, when he had no one, even if it was short lived, Pearl who understood his loneliness, a past winner who very well understood what its like to be the villain of the server, his best friend, his ally, his family.. and the last person he saw before that so called victory.
Plus! Funny quote between my sister and I that sounds pretty DL Snowblings coded:
- "wishing for the best for you and worst for them /j" (sister/scar) - "you see? this is what siblings are for! we pray on other people's downfall
 but for good reasons.." (me/pearl)
Thats all tumblr, thank you ^^

Hey i just thought I'd pop in here after alot of deliberation on how to word this and say *Cough cough*:
Your writing is absolutely incredible. I found GC on wattpad not even a month ago while looking for Wolfstar x Reader fics (Fully fledged ones) and Immediately started reading and fell in love with it, skip forward a couple weeks and i eventually checked out your tumblr. I have come to the conclusion that i have no words to express how much I absolutely adore your writing and I can't wait to see the future of GC (Patiently waiting for the romance to develop (I'm not really i get giddy every time their feelings are mentions even though theres so much inner turmoil attached atm (Btw thats absolutely incredible aswell like its so realistic its *Chefs kiss* amazing, Brilliant))) I'm ginna be on the edge of my seat all day tomorrow until i get to read it (Sometimes i just despise busy days).
-Cranberry
Hey, Cranberry!
Thank you so much for your sweet comments! I can't believe people have come over all the way from Wattpad, that's incredible!
I wanted to have the series on Wattpad because I love the feature where you can comment on quotes (like writing a note on the side of the book), but Wattpad isn't as good at creating a community, and I craved to have one-on-one talks with my readers, which is why, ultimately, Tumblr has become the main home of Gilded Constellations.
Not to say I don't love my Wattpad and AO3 readers, but It's not as easy to connect with them as it is through Tumblr, I feel.
I've digressed, but thank you so much for your kind comments, I know GC is slowburn, but I'm happy to keep you at the edge of your seat for many weeks <3
And I'm truly blessed to have readers who are so vocal about their love for Gilded Constellations. It truly makes my day and prompts me to continue writing more. Especially this past few weeks in which I fell behind due to a mistake in which I completely forgot about a full moon and had to go back and rewrite. A chapter turned into three, and then getting back to the chapter I was working on was tricky af.
So thank you for taking the time to show your love and appreciation for GC, it truly means the world to me.

In the hetalia fandom ive seen a.. rise? surely of an idea spread around and propagated by good, quality angsty art, that Gilbert is a baltic prussian, who was in this or that way converted and turned catholic with or against his will and then attacked his own brother/unspecified close relationship guy Lithaunia, and sometimes, sometimes it extends to Latvia as well (though from all of my time ive hardly seen a lot of.. interaction between gilbert and raivis in general, other than quips in soviet themed fics/art where the two just appear together inevitably. But Latvia was conquered and under german crusader rule for 500ish years..). Its not that this is wrong or imposible really of a scenario, given theyre very mealdable immortals that retain the maturity of teens to young adults for the majority of time, but it.. irks me in such a crazy bastardine, personal, "been into the crusades since 10 years old" way. I believe its a bit uncreative and a.. lower hanging fruit, aswell as difficultly supported by canon (see: he was hanging out and bwing weird with Hungary before the baltic crusades even began, which is true: the order of st mary had missions in Hungary before they were kicked out (and thats a very long and cool chapter), and sought a mission and home since they couldnt go back to Germany (another long, fascinating chapter). The crusaders, aawell, didnt come with the idea of converting people very well into the 1270s, because they faced strong prussian resistance and revolts, right until there were few people left that didnt flee to what is now Suvalkia or Lithuania minor...
I know its more angsty to imagine the representation of the knightly order as a converted "enemy", but pruliet and prupol shipping aside for a moment, i very very lean into the idea of orders' representations being their own separate category.. There is the character drawn for the Templar knights, and while my own creative liberties separate from canon here by the fact that guy is ginger (you have to be up to the baltoslav-sidabro lore to get it but thats another time), those guys didnt really conquer their own collective land to make a separate and independant country: yet he still exists as a representation, of the knights themselves.
I believe strongly and firmly that Gilbert is german, and not converted baltic, due to the order being mostly made up of various at the time german(ic)s, and because the knights' self identity and collectivity was real, was strong, was reckognised by the Pope..
I know pruliet isnt a veerry popular ship, hasnt been ever, and while my feelings on it are a gag and an eyeroll (as most LT pairings are but i guess thats inevitable by virtue of (gestures to self and waves a flag for those that dont know) and i try not to be mean about it these days), it would be cool to see more of (since it does happen and im glad for it) and stronger sheer hate and detest between the two. A man whos virtues are his own, held by no laws, savo miĆĄko ponas (lol), this wide-eyed guy who knows nearly noone, versus this dogmatic, by obsession possesed in devotion, angel that executes God's will without any question.. As per quote of my certifoed pruliet shipper friend "they would tear eachothers dicks off". To each their own, of course, but if i had a cent for people with the baltic Gilbert idea in 2017 vs 2024 i would be maybe five times richer by not a lot, but its interesting theres more of it

Michael Myers x Corey Cunningham x nb!Reader hcs (from my perspective/my version/better version) also my first time doing a few good nsfw hcs ੈ✩‧₊˚
Tumblr media
ïœĄoÂ°âœ„âœ€âœŁ------------------------------------------------------âœŁâœ€âœ„Â°oïœĄ
michael myers: -he absolutely adores you and corey. and its not like i “adore you tiny humans” its more like “omg i adore my sweet partners”...yeah i thought you'd be surprised. but for real...he the sweetest. i mean like his quote is “your mine. but im also yours. and im extremely proud of both facts”, yes, thats how sweet he is.
-im not good with nsfw but i can tell you he does it slow, because he doesnt want to hurt you, nor does he need or want to go fast. lots of kisses. hes very nice for aftercare aswell. hes what you guys out there wish your real boyfriends acted like.
-he’ll protect you and corey from ANYTHING. if someone throws a bag of skittles, and it MIGHT hit either of you? he grabs it before it can come close, then he’ll glare at whoever threw it. hes super protective, because he loves you.
-i guarantee that michael only had sex with both of you only once. dont ask why. and after, corey (that asshole) got a tattoo with his initials on his hip. since he got it, he offered to pay for it of you got one to. now you know.
-hes just nice. :)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
corey Cunningham: -SUPER sweet aswell. i could on for hours about you guys holding hands and cuddling with michael, but this is already long so ill just say you guys are a very wholesome poly relationship  :) -since corey can go out to the public, (unlike michael, because he is...you know...a murderer...?) coreys going to take you out to dates and cute stuff. also home dates with michael, since you cant leave him out :( im probably going to hc that you and micheal met because you moved into his old house, so micheal and corey always hang out there. with you :)
-you and corey and michael go out to killings on halloween and after...you all just cuddle on the couch :D and watch horror movies. and eat snacks. -you share clothes. you wore michaels mask a few times for fun. and his coveralls, he thought it was cute. michael got caught wearing your ac/dc shirt a bunch. he feels embarrassed but you let him keep it and told him hes handsome. because he is :3 (ill probably add more soon. i hope you like it.)

I'm the anon who sent the last ask. I appreciate the calm and kind reply. I'd like to further elaborate on my point aswell, because at the time of the ask, I was very frustrated and didn't properly convey what I was trying to say.
In your dubcon LJ X Reader fic, you call the reader, a rape victim, a slut. You refer to the fanfiction as 'smut'. While I understand you may have intended for it to come across as just dark or horror or purposefully uncomfortable... It is still a really bad way to handle that. I don't have a problem with you writing about rape. But, the way you write about these acts has an air of disrespect to the topic at hand, which is why I said you were 'no better than those types of people' (which I apologize for, and isn't really reflective of how I actually feel about the things you write).
Generally, it is frustrating you ask proshippers to dni, but don't handle the topic of rape with proper grace. I'm not going to assume you're glorifying it, because I don't think that's your intention, but the way it is dealt with comes across as insensitive.
okay. so, let me get this straight
 your beef with me comes from the fact that i joking said in the content/warnings section, and i quote, “reader is kind of a slut boy (same)” ?
furthermore, this is about the LJ fic? really? i mean not to encourage beef or anything but of all the fics you could’ve chosen
that one? i mean okay đŸ€·
alright listen, i don’t feel like arguing, so after this post i’m turning anon off so you can take it up with me personally, account to account, if you really need to keep going.
as a victim of childhood sexual assault myself, i must say, i think you’ve got a bit of a stick up your ass. believe it or not i think i’d have a pretty good grasp of what is and is not ok
all my fics are properly tagged with warnings and full disclosure of the content inside. don’t like? don’t read. something tells me you didn’t even read the fic if you’re getting this worked up about a clearly joking comment. i totally get that my more intense content isn’t for everyone, and thats okay. i’m not glorifying anything, like you said, and i’m not going to censor myself for you.
this will be the end of the discussion, thank you and goodnight everybody.

THIRD BOOK NEWS :
been playing a lot of Helldivers 2 since it's release. you can have black armour and a red faceplate so Iv'e been having lots of fun pretending to be a Legion trooper.
two phrases that come up a lot. "Theres no such thing as friendly lasers." and "Immortality does not ward off bullets." the friendly fire is relentless. closest I can get to lunch time on Andrion 3 at the moment though. so if you want an SOTL like game experience I highly reccomend walking through the Legion gate and picking it up.
In book related news. hopefully we'll have the third seeker book soon! I always do love jumping back into Marshalls galaxy and sharing my findings with everyone. The comedy quotes are my absolute favorite but I do always love a good marvelling at the universe aswell. hopefully the publishing isn't too much like fighting exo's with a hotknife but eh. I don't know anything about publishing. Might read the first series again to tide me over. but everytime I do I always wonder what happened to Psycho at the end. (Seriously if anyone even has a theory i'd love to hear it.)
thats it from me. semi yearly SOTL post for you guys. hope you all have a wonderful 2024. I'll probably be back with my thoughts on the third book.

F - dont like

Stop saying “(insert character name here) has never done anything bad in their life. They’re babie and are so innocent.” Or “(insert character name here) did this so they’re the worst most selfish character and deserve to die next season!!”
news flash! Every. Single. Character. In . Stranger. Things. Has. Made. A . Mistake.
AND THATS OKAY!
All characters have flaws. If they don’t it makes them boring characters. I’ve seen FIVE. F I V E people say today that will is the most selfish character of stranger things and deserves to, and I quote, “die next season, #killwillbyers .” No. I’m not kidding.
For starters: Will may have been inconsiderate last season but reminder!! 1. He’s a 14 year old boy 2. Him wanting to play d&d doesn’t make him a bad character it makes him a DIMENSIONAL character. Stop expecting him to be perfect. He’s learning. He’s growing. He doesn’t deserve to die just because he wanted to play D&D. Him calling El stupid was a throwaway line. Mike didn’t even care that Will called El stupid because Mike understood Will didn’t mean it and that he was frustrated, so you shouldn’t either. I admit, calling El stupid wasn’t cool, but neither was El assaulting Max but apparently that’s justified. My point is: EVERY CHARACTER IS FLAWED. Every one. Stop pretending like Will is the worst thing that’s happened to the show and stop pretending like (insert character here) is the most small harmless bean ever:
This is coming from an EL STAN aswell. I’m just pointing out the hypocrisy in this fandom. Because it’s insane. Apparently Will calling El stupid (which I’m not saying wasn’t bad- I’m just saying you can’t seriously hate a character for making a realistic mistake and refusing to acknowledge all of the selfless things Will has done and only pointing out the one thing he’s done that makes him flawed.) but point is, apparently Will calling El stupid makes him the most selfish awful person ever but El assaulting Max and completely not being understanding in some elements of seasons 2 and season 3 and in ways being a brat, it’s fine because “it was a mistake”, which it WAS! El doesn’t deserve to be hated for those things because she’s a dimensional character and I love her. But stop ridiculing others for things you wouldn’t ridicule your fave for.
Every character has messed up. Stop expecting characters to be perfect. I’ve seen people say Will was worse than Billy. Billy, the racist abuser. Exactly.
These characters need to have flaws to be good and entertaining characters. And remember, the party members are KIDS! They’re brains are still developing! They’re children! They’re learning and developing. They aren’t the Pope or Obama. They say and do mean things. Doesnt mean their actions shouldn’t have consequences, it just means that you have to understand that your fave isn’t going to be unproblematic all the time. Deal with it.
Every one of the party members has made a mistake or multiple.
MIKE: made out with el for 6 months straight and ditched his friends. Can be a complete asshole. Ignored the “best thing that’s ever happened to him”, tried to control El, is an ass to Max
LUCAS: was wary of El and insulted her. Can be too blunt and can forget about his surroundings and about others feelings
DUSTIN: kept dart despite knowing it was from the upside down. Can be selfish
WILL: was inconsiderate of Mike’s break up, called El stupid.
EL: assaulted Max, spied on mike despite knowing mike hated it, was very blunt and rude in ways, can be a brat and doesn’t understand some things that are meant to keep her safe
MAX: Can be a total asshole. Very set in her ways. Doesn’t like to understand peoples point of view
THIS DOESNT MAKE THEM BAD CHARACTERS! Instead of paying attention to their bad traits start recognizing all the good things they’ve done. All of their GOOD traits. This fandom can be so pessimistic at times.
Every single member of the party has made mistakes and have done morally incorrect things. But they’ve also done very good things too!!! 97% of the things the party members have done have been GOOD. Stop paying attention to that 3% that isn’t morally correct or selfless or kind. You’ve made mistakes and I’m sure you’d hate being ridiculed for the rest of your life over one thing you did months ago. Or one mistake you made when you were younger and more naive or when you were still growing.
Instead of pointing out the bad things each party member has done and holding them up to impossible expectations because they are CHILDREN, take a minute to appreciate all of the good things they’ve done, which include (but aren’t limited to)
MIKE: Loyal, kind, patient, understanding, puts his friends needs infront of his own, will do anything for the people he loves, trustable
LUCAS: rational, leaves no man behind, defends his friends no matter what, brave, fights for his friends
DUSTIN: Patient, uplifting, funny, always will be there for you and will listen to you. Super smart, can get you out of any scientific or mathematical situation. Unapologetically himself
WILL: loyal, kind, a great listener, the mediator, peaceful, selfless, loves you unconditionally, puts his needs behind everyone else so he won’t worry his mom or the party
EL: selfless, brave, would sacrifice herself for her friends and family. Kind hearted and genuine. Always forgives people for their actions
MAX: will beat someone up if she found out they bullied you. Very uplifting and encourages you to be independent and to love yourself
AND THATS NOT EVEN ALL OF THEM!
Appreciate the good traits your favorite characters have! I’m not saying you aren’t allowed to dislike a character but it’s complete bullshit that you’d create some personal head canon that so and so is an awful person or make up lies about a certain character just to get an excuse to dislike the character.
These kids have trauma. Stop expecting them to deal with their trauma in 100% healthy ways. This is the EIGHTIES. They can’t just go find a support group online or go on Quora to find the answer as to why they’re acting a certain way.
These kids are misunderstood and they really just need a hug. Stop making a certain character out to be something their not.
And for the love of god, El and Will are both great characters and are my 2 favorites so can we stop this war it’s pointless
AND ALSO:
If you wish death upon ANY of the party members I will personally kick you into orbit. They are 14. who wishes death on 14 year old children?! That is disgusting.
Anyways, have your faves. Enjoy the show. And I’m not telling you NOT to dislike a character but instead of hating on them, level with them. Put yourself in their shoes. Reason with them and ask yourself, “Well maybe I also would act like this if I went through what they went through.”
Character are going to have flaws! Don’t let that stop you from appreciating the parts of their character that are good and lovable.
I’ll say it again: a good character needs to have flaws to he entertaining.
So no: the statement “(character here) has never done anything wrong in their life ever.”
Because they have. And that’s OKAY! Normalize having flawed yet lovable and enjoyable characters. That’s why I love ST so much. The party is REALISTIC. The kids ACT LIKE KIDS. Stop expecting them to be and act like 45 year old men or women. They’re learning. Growing. And developing.
PS: this does not go for the characters that have no good qualities and simply are villains *cough, Brenner and Lonnie cough*

You said you're taking requests, and I'm bored out of my mind so...how bout a connor for dbh headcannon where he just doesn't understand how the Sun could be in his s/o's eye ("it's in the sky detective, how can it be in your eye too?") and after a few guesses he just googled it and goes "oh." Then starts using it without proper context.
You heard that right and asdfghjkl thats quite adorable. A havent written anything DBH related for a bit so I'm a bit rusty but oh well
My dumb ass was so confused with this for a bit but its just the sleep deprivation sooo also, I just found out that theres a song called the "Sun In Our Eyes" by MØ and I like it
Edit: im so fucking sorry for publishing without finishing this shit. Its 1 a.m. here okay?!?!
Tumblr media
⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃
Connor was confused
[Name], his pop cultured, meme talking and also loving partner is always odd
and he certainly does not understand those words [Name] says at times
or rather, what most says too
like right now
the two were on the break room, just recently finished a case while Hank decided to actually write his report
Connor and his [Name] were just relaxing
well, [Name] was while Connor accompanies him
as [Name] was stirring his cup of coffee that he brew not so long ago
Connor was slowly drifting off to his thoughts
he was a deviant now by the way
but back to the thoughts thing
Connor remembered someone had mentioned about [Name] eyes in a case
it was the newbie recruit if he remembered correctly and he did
the newbie saying how [Name]'s [Eye color] eyes were like the sun is shining in on them
[Name] after all a kind and charming man
but Connor was confused on why that recruit says so
after all, the sun can not be taken out of the sky. that is very impossible to do such a thing
so he had asked that on [Name]
"[Name]?"
"Hm? Yeah, Con?"
"I have a question"
"Okay? Shoot"
"I do not understand. my program would not allow me to do such a thing [Name] and even if it does, I will certainly not do so"
"Crap, you're still new to this.. right... what I meant was... ask away"
"I see... well, I am wondering on why does someone says that the sun is in your eyes? It is the sun. It can not physically moved. It is in the sky"
cue confused [Name]
"Huh???"
"Apologies but P.O. recruit Jameson had said that the sun is in your eyes the other day and I am confused"
"Oh... Oh... Connor, I think Jameson meant was that my eyes are bright or something. I dunno"
"I... I see..."
still not satisfied with it
Connor still wants to know more about "the sun in [Name]'s eyes"
he went to Hank next
the lieutenant was not much help
"I do not know about this... umm... fuck, just ask someone else"
Connor went to Reed
the brunet detective flipped him off and cussed him out
Connor didnt know where to go as Conan and Connil is obviously not verse on this knowledge aswell as they are still new to deviancy
then Connor remembered that he can go ask the web
so he did
so many results
like... so fucking many
and he is so fucking confused
Connor's LED swirled to yellow to indicate his confusion
but after searching for a bit
he finally found some context
and he used it
it did not go so well really
despite [Name] kinda explaining and Connor searching it out already
he is still a dumbass
"[Name]"
"Oh, hey Connor, good morning!"
"The sun is quote lovely today"
Connor says as he stares into [Name]'s [Eye color] eyes blankly
"Okay...?"
[Name] is confused
what the fuck is up with Connor?
his confusion goes more levels as the day passed because Connor is just making him so damn confused with this "sun" and looking at his eyes thing
help this man
and help the android
after a few more awkward staring and odd sentences coming out of Connor's mouth
[Name] had enough and asked what is wrong with Connor
"[Name] I--"
"Alright, that's it! Connor... look... are you alright?"
Connor tilts his head a bit as that (cute) look of confusion plastered on his face
"Pardon me [Name]?"
[Name] sighs as he placed a hand on Connor's shoulder
"Look... Con... you just been recently acting kinda weird. Staring at my eyes and saying weird stuff and shit... I mean... its kinda adorable ag first but now its kinda creeping me off love"
"I... I did not realize that I am causing such discomfort to you [Name]"
Connor looked like a kicked puppy and [Name] felt his heart fucking squeezed at this android
"Its alright... just... why did you act like that?"
"I just want to compliment your eyes... like what P.O. recruit Jamesom did... comparing it to the sun..."
[Name] wanted to die
his android boi wanted to compliment his eyes???
aweeeeeeeeeeee
[Name] smiled and placed a soft kiss on Connor's forehead
"Well... that was sweet of you"
Connor's face lit up by that
"Still... i need to teach you how to compliment and what does "the sun in my eyes" mean though"
[Name] teased as Connor nodded his head with a smile om his lips
[Name] did teach Connor the right meaning of that sentence
and Connor used it right this time
[Name] was so proud
he kissed Connor
such dorks

More Family Content: Setting Up A Grimdark Campaign
Grimdark is a setting style thats focus on dystopian fantasy violence and the ammoral, think less ‘Starving Games 9: the diverging maze runner, girl is special but in love with two guys’ nonsense and more the Warhammer. I myself, (being someone who never grew out his angsty side) is an absolute whore for this kinda stuff. The main appeal for this setting is no matter who you are, you are a villain. But thats good. Cause everyone is  a villain in a grimdark campagin and being the villain is cool sometimes. So I thought I would give you my process of setting up a Grimdark D&D Campaign if anyone wants to try it.
Inspiration
Well before we commence on actually scarring our players we need ideas. And to quote Picasso, “good artists borrow, great artists steal”. So lets look at some recommendations for you to read or look up or play to steal-I mean take ‘inspiration’ from.
The Warhammer Franchise: If you looked up Grimdark in the dictionary you would find a image of the Warhammer universes with the words ‘For The Emperor’ covered in heretic blood. The Warhammer Franchise has two Grimdark settings, the ‘40k universe’ and the ‘Age of Sigmar universe’, both good examples. The 40k universe being a high gothic sci-fi universe as the zealous and xenophobic imperium of mankind and their space marines who fight gods of chaos and egyptian alien terminators... and Orks (Yes actual orks) who paint things red to make them ‘go fasta’. Age of Sigmar is the more fantasy side with Giant bat zombies and Rat hulks and whatever the Hell-pit Abomination is supposed to be. Both good starting points, if you would rather read then trying to play the games and get drowned in lore, for the Age of Sigmar angle try ‘Scourge of Fate’, ‘Court of the Blind King’ and ‘Rulers of the Dead’ for my recommendations, though Age of Sigmar has book series for each faction in the game so choose an aesthetic you would like. For 40k, could not recommend anything outside the Horus Heresy series, yes its over 50 books but pick the first one ‘Horus Rising’ and that should help. Warhammer actually even has ‘Warhammer horror’ series set in the universes as well if you want to go a spoopy angle.
The Starcraft Franchise: Moving alittle over and returning to the realm of science fiction there is the Starcraft franchise. The starcraft games really pull from the previous mention Warhammer for its concepts and designs and pulls it off well. Plus I really enjoy the world building almost as much as the warhammer stuff (Okay last time I will mention Warhammer). So go onto youtube and look  the games up or go buy and play them. However there are some books aswell if you would rather just read up on the lore like ‘Flashpoint’ and ‘Queen of Blades’. Obviously this is if you want to go for a more sci-fi or steam punk styled game but its D&D, do want you want (And if you want to do a sci-fi, look up the Dark Matter suppliment). But overal a good idea of how to do Grimdark.
The Song of Ice and Fire Books: Now put your pitchforks and torches down, I know season 8 of Game of Thrones was the equivlent of a hooker; that being you expect a huge payoff but you get robbed the satisfaction, being left with nothing but disappointment and a strange itch in your groin afterwards that reminds you of what you hoped for. But we are talking the books not the tv series (Though you can include it I suppose). Many of us know this franchise for its sheer bleak outlook of alliances and the concept of loyalty and the roulette of life that may just kill someone important at any point. Obviously a more medival approach for Grimdark but a good one and I would recommend it to anyone (When he finally finishes writing THE DAMN FINAL BOOKS). Obviously the whole book series is the reading recommadtion so find them cheap somewhere and delve in headfirst.
Other more Eldritch recommendations: Cosmic horror and grimdark go together like a fat kid and diabetes so I thought I would throw some quick recommendations for if you want to explore this angle aswell:
The Yellow King-Robert Chambers: A collection of short stories revolving around cults and maddness... yes please.
Bloodbourne-fromsoftware:  Phenomenal game, explores both classic gothic and cosmic horror, I have drawn from this game for inspiration A LOT more than I am comfortable saying. If you can’t get through the game, maybe try the Offical Artwork book as it can gve images that you can use a inspiration for scene dressing in game.
The HP Lovecraft bibliography and the Cthullu Mythos: Seperating the man from his work, the penned work of HP Lovecraft is still some of the best written cosmic horror from the arguable father of cosmic horror... once you get over the racial stuff.
The Dark tower book series and IT- Stephen King: A more light hearted apporach to Cosmic Horror but still good horror to pull inspiration from. Main issue, if you wish to read up on Stephen King, set some time aside  
The Darkest Dungeon-Red Hook Studios: Not gonna lie, I love this game probably too much (I will probably blame it for my obesity if I wasn’t aware thats it’s my fault I am a fat f*ck) I think it shows exactly how bad it probably would be a adventurer (I actually base my own stress rules on this game-more on that in another post) so is a good representation on what a grimdark fanatsy world would be like on these characters.
Session 0
Alright now that you have successfully ripped off every grimdark franchise-I mean collected recommendations for inspiration, let’s move onto what to discuss in your Session 0.
1. What are your players okay with?
This one is painfully obvious but a session 0 is like when you lose your virignity; you don’t set some bounderies or go into it somewhat prepared, you are gonna face a sticky situation afterwards and probably get your head kicked in by someones dad for corrupting their kid (Just me?...).On the topic at hand, its good to know what your players are okay with and can inform your story direction. For instance, I had a player who want to play a reform brothel worker but i would not allow it due to the circumstances of another player.  Normally the questions I ask beforehand is is the following
Are you okay with detail viseral descriptions of violence?
Are you okay with scenes of torture/depravity?
Are you okay with depictions of slavery or prostitution?
Are you okay with themes like suicide or mental/phyiscal abuse?
Are you okay with sacrifical death or occult themes?
Are you okay with swearing?
Following this you should adjust according to suit your players, you want them to enjoy being evil, not weeping at the evil around them. So before you do anything, set your bounderies.
2. What is their motivation?
Another obvious one but also important one. To help establish characters in the world they live in, you must discuss their motives. Why are they on a quest? What are their intentions with the reward after? And so on and so on. Then once you have that and have discuss you can help the players fit the world alittle more. A thing I have told my players is to think of a motive for a character and turn it into an obession; this is due to the theme of obession is thorough throughout many grimdark settings as it’s easy to make a character’s good intentions twisted when they become so obessed with and wrapped up in it.
Of course you’ll get players that while wanting to play grimdark still want to be the token good upstanding hero because reasons (These would be the people that go to a pick and mix shop just gets white mice the bland pricks). But it is okay, you can work with it and truthfully I like the dynamic of the bright eyed advenutrer and friends that slowly gets tainted by the reality of the world they live in (If you want some inspiration on this I recommend the show Madoka Magica).
3. Understanding
Okay this is a more serious point. Alot of players I have played grimdark have kinda took some of the darker elements for granted as well they haven’t experience things like that. Which in turn can hurt players that have experience in those matters. So I always ask my players (And I am asking you too future grimdark DMs) to look into these themes, research and understand why they are not right and why we should not really have them in real life. If you are playing something like this just so you can be a slave trader without consequence then may I ask you to leave the table.
Playing to be a villain is good, playing to be an asshole is bad.
And that should help, I would in0clude some the additonal rules I use aswell like Stress and Bleeding but I will save them for another post after I am finished rewriting them for the third time and this post is already so goddamn long. If you also have recommendations for new DMs when it comes to running Grimdark, by all means share them. Thank you for reading.

Today I will write in English and I'm sorry if I make mistakes.
I want to talk about how I was born Asian but mixed Asian of East and South Asia . I have olive skin tone... honey 🍯 and tall for an Asian girl 178cms/5.10 Tall ,Big double eyelid eyes ,tall nose,slim legs and small face and I Really am thankful to God. But with that comes Jealousy...most of my past friends have always been bitter and jealous about me ,spreading negativity so I now have very few friends. I'm a polyglot (Asian languages + English) . And if I travel abroad then White,Latinas and Black people make racist comments on me saying I eat Bat,Slanting eyes,Dirty etc... and Asian Americans make fun of my English.
I realized that I shouldn't be ashamed of who I am or how smart I am . English doesn't determine ones intelligence neither does it make people rich.
I can have a good conversation in English, read and write aswell and thats enough .
As for others in Asia who'll outcast me because I'm half ...God created me this way ,milk honey and spice. I will embrace it and no more be insecure about being tall.
I want to say everyone that please don't be embarrassed about yourself
Work hard and try to be a better person but never change all the positive things in you. Embrace your skin color ,face ,imperfections, uniqueness etc.
I know you have heard "Love yourself " but I know its not easy
Start by tiny steps like waking up early , not being on phone much,reading or listening to music,walk or exercise, drink lots of water,have skincare routine, eating well but not unhealthy food ..shopping is a good therapy but not everyone have much money so start collecting even if it is a penny. Clean your room , read positive quotes ,watch good movies.
Don't watch murder or horror (I have noticed it radiates negative aura)
Don't think good things in Bathroom (Think of all the bad ones like what's bothering you so all your bad thoughts goes down the drain)
Start Meditation (doesn't matter if you have a religion or not ...Meditation doesn't require God form it only requires your focus/consciousness)
Cut Bad people from your life (Boyfriend,girlfriends, friends or any family member doesn't matter ) if they are draining your energy then its best to not be their friend.
Hope everyone will love themselves and healthy.

Prodigal Daughter (Ben Hardy x Reader)
Prompt: Ben and the cast finds out reader is an expert drummer.
youtube
When your dog-loving boyfriend auditioned for Bohemian Rhapsody, he's been working hard to be able to play the percussive set as he wanted to honor the character the he was going to play in the movie. You supported him as a loving girlfriend would do although not that he didn't knew much about you but the fact that you were actually an expert on the drum set had him, his castmates and the two members of Queen in total awe as they eyed from across the stage set.
It happpened like this
.
"Awe love, thanks coming here to support me." Ben had an arm around you while walking together, following his cast mates and the others to the stage. The iconic Live Aid was their first scene as Ben told you and for support, you went to watch him as you wanted to see the hard work of your dear lover.
"Love, you should rest for a bit. You've been playing for a quite a while." Your voice laced with concerned. You watch him shake his head no, "It's okay, love." He continous to do the drum routine.
You know that he will nail it. And what better way to boost him than be there and cheer for him.
You stood afar from the set as they shot the scene. You would catch him glancing at you with his biggest smiles as you would bob your head to his beat. The beat that you fell inlove with in your teen years. You didn't even notice the way your foot tap to the ground, each stomp so acute to the beat of the biggest drum.
"and
.CUT!!"
You were the first to cheer as you ran to the stage to meet Ben, him doing the same by jumping off it with a large smile welcoming you in his muscly and comfy embrace. You could tell he was proud of himself.
"Babe! That was so cool!!!"
"I KNOW, I was like--" he babble with some sound effects, making some clear emphasis of what he had seen himself doing behind the drum set. Giggling at his action, you both walked together to the bottom of the stage where the peeps had gathered.
Exchanging different compliments, Ben and his castmates were rained with praises from Roger and Brian.
"My almost prodigal son is here." The lead drummer of Queen quoted earning a shy smile from the lad. The man has been a great role model for Ben as he almost stood as a father to him and to you aswell.
"Almost."
"I think we could all agree to that can we?" Gwilym said.
"Well, he did nail it. Good Job Benjamin. But I think Cardboard Ben is Better." Laughter bursted inside the loose circle, you laughing along Joe's affection to your boyfriend carbon copy in cardboard.
"Stop it, Joe. Your hurting my feelings here."
The chatter continued, talking and complementing Rami and Gwylim of them rocking their own routine.
"O My Goodness! Y/n M/n L/n. Is that really you?"
Now this somehow caught everyone's attention. Turning to the owner of the voice, you met the very, very familiar face of a female. It didn't made you hold back the smile the moment you met her gaze.
"JEM!! ITS YOU!!" Basically scurrying out of Ben's embrace, enveloping the girl in a bear hug, and vice versa.
Joe was the first to speak out of all the confused faces.
"Jem, love? You know Y/n?"
Ben was also confused as he knew all of your friends yet he wasn't very much familiar with this one but not in a bad way. The interaction you gave looked genuined and so did hers, it was as if you knew the said stranger almost by heart.
Jem, who is basically bear hugging you looked back to her boyfriend and said,
"OH, Joe, guys, remember when I said I was in a band?"
Everyone nodded.
"Well, you see we were a four person band and I know you have met my two other former band mates and I said I had lost contact with one of my members since our accounts have been hacked before. " you still had the girl in your grasp while looking at the small crowd cowering around the both of you.
"W-wait? Are you saying Y/n's your long lost band member?"
Jem nodded furiously at Lucy's question.
"Wow! Y/n, why didn't you say anything?"
Ben had a seemingly excited look on his face as if he was a boy who just found a treasure chest in his backyard. His eyes trained on you. Curiosity lingering on them.
"Well, nobody real asked about it and that was way too long ago." You trailed.
Joe suddenly pops up statement.
"Hold on a minute, Viola said that she was the pianist and Jax was the bassist. And you told me that you were lead vocalist
"
Ben was the next to speak, following his friend's statement.
"Which would mean that my girlfriend, is your band'--"
"Lead drummer? Yeah!"
The confidence your dear friend radiated as she began to brag you to your friends turning you into a shy fly. And the fact that your idol, nome other than another father figure aswell known as Roger Meddows Taylor, who is basically standing beside you is hearing all this things got you shy chills.
"Hey, Jem thats enough. Besides, as I said that was quite a long time ago and I don't think I could be that great on it anymore."
Jem gave you and eye roll, "Y/n, there's no way that you could loose your touch. Even if your mind doesn't remember, your hands and feet does. Also, I heard from Ben that he would sometimes catch you playing with your chopstick while doing the dishes. I should've known your dating the hunk of a man sooner." You rolled your eyes as Jem whispered the last sentence to you.
"How 'bout you plah for us love?" Roger placed a hand on your shoulder, handing you a pair of sticks. Your eyes turned into saucers.
"I-i don't know Mr. Taylor--" "Roger kiddo."
You smiled, "Roger, as much as I want to play. I not as good as I was before."
This time Ben talks you out.
"You can't be that bad love, we just wanna see you play. You can go do any song."
You looked at him, rather unsure of yourself. Sure, one can't unlearn what is learned. Everyone around you started to encourage you aswell. Ben's puppy eyes, was the last warning bell you could ever receive as you sighed and took the drum sticks. Suddenly feeling a spark in your palms after having contact with it after a long while.
"Go Y/N!!"
"YOU CAN DO IT LOVE!!"
You ran up to the stage, thanking yourself for wearing a pair jeans on this unexpected day. Jem skipped her way as she followed you and as if she already knew what song you were gonna play, she hurriedly plugged her phone on the jack and waited for you settle.
"Brings back memories doesn't it?" You shrugged off and smiled as you held the sticks in position.
"Damn, feeling deja vu here."
"You just miss it." Jem replied to you.
You stared past the drum set meeting Ben's eyes as he howls your name. Roger doing the same and so does the others around the stage. Father and boyfriend, cheering for you. What a heck of a combo.
You nodded to Jem who proceeded to play the track with a little low volume so it won't over power your routine.
"GO! Y/N GO!" she called out.
Taking a deep breath, you let yourself get lost on the music.
(0:00 to 0:15)
Like your hands had its own mind, it smashed the sticks tips to the first beats. Nearly missing the timing.
"That's a good start." You joked to yourself as you continue to the beat.
Eyeing back to back to your small audience. Their heads bobbing with your beat with smiles on their faces. Watching as your pace gradually quickened along the way.
(0:16 to 0:25)
"I think it's getting faster."
Rami's comment made Ben aware with his girlfriend beat. After having countless practice and hearing some bands drummer plays, Bon Jovi's song had some of the trickiest drum routines and he could tell how complicated the beat and yet, seeing you calmly beaming with each hit, your hands and arms swiftly moving to the next beat as if she practiced the whole routine for almost a week. Whats more was also, it looked quite your style.
Your face looked calm and composed with each beating.
He marvelled you and as if you were so used to the clashing and bashing, you didn't miss any timing.
(0:26 to 1:09)
No eyes left your figure while staying on your beat. Each pair beaming the quicker your arms switch directions as the chorus neared then, what happened next was a small yet seemingly gigantic movement when they caught it. That was the moment Ben knew that his girlfriend wasn't an amatuer drummer.
You twirled one drumstick in between your fingers as the other hit the cymbals, your lips mouthing the lyrics with a smile etched on it. Then slamming both down to the clash instrument.
"Ohhh!!!" "She twirled them! Did you see that?!"
Your hands swifting left to right like accelerate, still singing to the chorus. You drowned yourself to the symphony of each percussion that surrounded you like no one was watching, eyes closed you, staying with the beat.
(1:09 to 2:00)
Maintaining a heck of speed had Roger Taylor screaming his heart out for you. Calling your name, screaming 'thats my kid!!' Out of now where and jumping along the music. Like a proud dad, he cheered.
People were bouncing like they were in a rock concert. Joe was banging his head to your melody. Gwilym and Rami were arm in arm and singing to the song. Brian was dancing around with Lucy.
(2:00 to 2:03)
Your speed growing to a thunderous amount that had everyone going out of their mind while you sat there like you practiced the whole performance for weeks.
"Oh my god! She's freaking nailing it."
"UGH! Ben she's a freaking Queen!"
Ben was freaking out like everybody else while watching your routine with the sticks that even thought he can't do.
(2:03 to 2:32)
The crowd under the stage as the staff was singing along while you drum your heart out. Your movements were so in sync with what your mind had thought of in every sequence, executing everything perfectly. Continuing to the music, each beat was a perfect hit. You caught sight of Ben who had a hand on his forehead and another on his, face had saucer eyes and a slack jawed smile, staring at you.
You let yourself meet his gaze as he notice this.
You winked at him.
(2:34 til end.)
Ben's breath hitched as Roger muttered an 'oh my god' beside him as you threw a stick in the air, then catching it perfectly before hitting the beat perfectly once again.
Everyone was screaming after that, Joe was grabbing his permed hair as if he had witness something insane before him. Lucy could tell that after this mini concert, she won't be able to talk the next day.
Doing a couple more stick twirling and fast paced movements, you finally reach an end with a satisfying clash from the cymbals. Panting, you turned to you now large crowd, screaming for you.
"And there goes your Prodigal Daughter." Roger could only nod on Brian's statement.
Ben rushed up to stage and immediatly lifted you off the ground. Rambling how insanely amazing you were.
"You gotta teach me your ways love." He mumbled against your lips.
"As long as I get something in return." You said after quick peck on his lips.

And The Saga Continues
By saga I mean me supervising this 'fake RbbSbb' account on twitter because I want to.
also Im going to separate the posts by day, if anything else happens I'll retweet and add it on this one. Tommorow its a separate post.
If you're intrested to see the first bit (two separate days in a post, one in which I found and then kept retweeting what happened after weeks (?) of not checking on it) (! I do reccomend reading the previous one)
so if you're intrested look up the tag #Fake-RbbSbb in my account.
-
Sooooo as expected our buddy changed his bio to 11, which supports my speculation that it was (obviously) a countdown to Louis' show.
Tumblr media
nothing new on the following/pfp/header etc...
They did tweet some things, but I'll touch on that later, first off the likes: It seems they are continuously trying to raise attention towards Rbb (and Rbb only???) being back in two weeks by sending anonymous statements in peoples CCs.
Also they liked this HIV support tweet- and I found that sweet so im also adding it in, because aweareness is key.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
aswell as replying back with their usual variation of two emojis:
Tumblr media
No sign of Android anywhere, just WebAppℱ.
Now onto the tweets:
Just like with the 12 they posted yesterday, today they posted an 11. And I got curious to know where abouts they were setting the time to:
Tumblr media
If whatever I triod to do here is too complicated (even I dont understand it lmao) basically:
In LA posting time would've been 23:29
In London posting time would've been: 07:29
so if they wanted to (and im speculating this because I did not check) update it on midnight lets say (or close to), then logically the tweet would've come from LA.
Now this thing which then tells us there will be a pattern of when they'll update the countdown
Tumblr media
The thing I found weird right, is that they're doing a countdown (supposedly) to Louis' show. So why update on LA time?
Next thing they posted was this:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
'Well Meet at the end of the Road' at a first glance you'd guess they're talking about the countdown.
But oh to know who Rudolph Valentino was...
I'll put some intresting quotes I found of him here, you can skip all of this if you want, I'll do a short resume at the end of the indented.
"He was a sex symbol of the 1920s, who was known in Hollywood as the Latin Lover (a title invented for him by Hollywood moguls), The Great Lover, or simply Valentino.[1] His premature death at the age of 31 caused mass hysteria among his fans and further propelled his status as a cultural film icon."
"The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse was released in 1921 and became a commercial and critical success" + "For his follow-up film, they forced him into a bit part in a B-film called Uncharted Seas.(1921)" + "Rambova, Mathis, Ivano, and Valentino began work on the Alla Nazimova film Camille.(1921)" + "Valentino's final film for Metro was the Mathis-penned 'The Conquering Power.(1921) "
thats 4 movies in a year!! Talk about overworked- (depending on how long they were)
"After quitting Metro, Valentino took up with Famous Players-Lasky, forerunner of the present-day Paramount Pictures, a studio known for films that were more commercially focused."
"Jesse L. Lasky intended to capitalize on the star power of Valentino, and cast him in a role that solidified his reputation as the "Latin lover"
"In The Sheik (1921), Valentino played the starring role of Sheik Ahmed Ben Hassan. The film was a major success and defined not only his career but his image and legacy."
"Famous Players produced four more feature-length films over the next 15 months" + "His leading role in Moran of the Lady Letty(1922) was of a typical Douglas Fairbanks nature" + "Valentino starred alongside Gloria Swanson in Beyond the Rocks(1922)" + "Valentino began work on another Mathis-penned film, Blood and Sand(1922)" + "During his forced break from Rambova, the pair began working separately on the Mathis-penned The Young Rajah(1922)"
15 months 4 movies. and again I will stress the 'capitalize the star power' over there.
Seems too familiar tbh.
"Missing Rambova, Valentino returned to New York after the release of The Young Rajah. They were spotted and followed by reporters constantly."
*cough* *cough* "spotted"
"During this time, Valentino began to contemplate not returning to Famous Players, although Jesse Lasky already had his next picture, The Spanish Cavalier, in preparation. After speaking with Rambova and his lawyer Arthur Butler Graham, Valentino declared a 'one-man strike' against Famous Players.[31]"
About the lawsuit:
"He was also upset over the broken promise of filming Blood and Sand in Spain, and the failure to shoot the next proposed film in either Spain or at least New York. Valentino had hoped while filming in Europe he could see his family, whom he had not seen in 10 years.[27]"
"In September 1922, he refused to accept paychecks from Famous Players until the dispute was solved, although he owed them money" + "Famous Players, in turn, filed suit against him.[33]"
"Valentino did not back down,[33] and Famous Players realized how much they stood to lose." + "the studio tried to settle by upping his salary" + "Variety erroneously announced the salary increase as a "new contract" before news of the lawsuit was released, and Valentino angrily rejected the offer.[31]"
"Valentino went on to claim that artistic control was more of an issue than the money." + "Famous Players made their own public statements deeming him more trouble than he was worth (the divorce, bigamy trials, debts) and that he was temperamental, almost diva-like. They claimed to have done all they could and that they had made him a real star.[33]
"Other studios began courting him." + "However, Famous Players exercised its option to extend his contract, preventing him from accepting any employment other than with the studio." + "Valentino filed an appeal, a portion of which was granted. Although he was still not allowed to work as an actor, he could accept other types of employment.[33]"
Return To The Movies
"Valentino returned to the United States in reply to an offer from Ritz-Carlton Pictures (working through Famous Players)" + "Rambova negotiated a two-picture deal with Famous Players and four pictures for Ritz-Carlton.[37] He accepted, turning down an offer to film an Italian production of Quo Vadis in Italy"
PERSONAL LIFE!!!!
"Valentino once told gossip columnist Louella Parsons that: "The women I love don't love me. The others don't matter". He claims that despite his success as a sex symbol that in his personal love life he never achieved happiness.[62]"
"Valentino impulsively married actress Jean Acker, who was involved with actresses Grace Darmond and Alla Nazimova. Acker became involved with Valentino in part to remove herself from the lesbian love triangle, quickly regretted the marriage, and locked Valentino out of their room on their wedding night."
"From the time he died in 1926 until the 1960s, Valentino's sexuality was not generally questioned in print.[67][68] At least four books, including the notoriously libelous Hollywood Babylon, suggested that he may have been gay despite his marriage to Rambova.[69][70][71][72][73] For some, the marriages to Acker and Rambova, as well as the relationship with Pola Negri, add to the suspicion that Valentino was gay and that these were "lavender marriages."
"Such books gave rise to claims that Valentino had a relationship with RamĂłn Novarro, despite Novarro stating they barely knew each other." + "These books also gave rise to claims that he may have had relationships with both roommates Paul Ivano and Douglas Gerrad, as well as Norman Kerry, and openly gay French theatre director and poet Jacques HĂ©bertot." + "However, Ivano maintained that it was untrue and both he and Valentino were heterosexual.[24] Biographers Emily Leider and Allan Ellenberger generally agree that he was most likely straight"
like every historian would say: "they were just good friends"
"further supposed evidence that Valentino was gay; documents in the estate of the late author Samuel Steward indicated that Valentino and Steward were sexual partners.[77] However, evidence found in Steward's claim was subsequently found to be false, as Valentino was in New York on the date Steward claimed a sexual encounter occurred in Ohio."

These are the few quotes from his wekipedia page in which I literally gaped at...
So in short:
Sex Symbol who was an Actor
Got his image enhanced and exploited by his manager.
Constanly Overworked
Relationships used for PR (?)
Thought about leaving his management which led to a 'one man strike' and a lawsuit.
The lawsuit started off because of finantial reasons, but it was revealed it was more because of fucking creative freedom.
Management tried to reason with him, he didn't back down. And they continued to do so before an article of the 'lawsuit' was made public, he didn't accept any.
Management tried to paint Valentino as 'ungrateful' and that they were the reason he was a star.
When other people tried to get Valentino to work with/for them, his management stopped him by "threatening to extend the contract" (?) which prevented him from acting.
His sexuality was never really questioned due to the many relationships with woman he had (one which literally was a lesbian)
Lavender Marriages / PR marriages
After his death, speculation that he dated many men came up.
One even said they did the dEEd, but its impossible because they were both in separate countries duh, right? RIGhT????
The way we can literally compare this with Harry's situation (and maybe Louis' aswell!!!) is literally hurting my mind.
Also adding that @eyupdaisy is helping me a lot, kuddos to her aswell. She found this:
If you search the actual name of the post 'We will meet at the end of the trail' on google, this picture comes up
Tumblr media
Which the HT account made a very lovely and subtle connection to it a few days ago
Tumblr media
Guess well have to start lowkey monitoring them too? Or maybe just what they interact with the Mr.R acc...
wait- max images reached ;-;

Album of The Week: ‘Low’ By David Bowie
Stand out song: A New Career in a New Town
For this week’s album of the week I’ve chosen to go with ‘Low’ from David Bowie released in 1977. The first in the Berlin trilogy, for me this is the defining Berlin album. It is important to note here that it may be the defining Berlin album but it does not contain the Berlin song for the ages which has to be ‘Heroes’, one of my desert island discs for sure. Putting this aside though, ‘Low’ feels the most like an album based on Bowie’s years in Berlin. I think as it is the first one it has a sense of freshness to it that the others don’t. That is not to say that they feel stale, far from it, but rather that he has established himself in the city by those two albums. Here, he is finding a new career, in a new town (forgive me, I had to work it in here) and that uncertainty, naivety, excitement and openness all shines through. 
This first installment from an incredible trilogy of albums is a big departure from Bowie’s previous body of work. His eleventh studio album delves more into experimental song creation and draws a lot of inspiration from the German electronic scene that he found himself in. At times ‘Low’ feels that it is travelling through the speed of light, its momentum tearing down all in its path as it becomes a defining album for a generation and at other point it is slow and ambient, almost self aware. To boil it down, a lot of its strength comes from its juxtapositions. The track order doesn’t really work and that’s a good thing. ‘What in the World’, an experimental song that as its title suggests is full of uncertainty is immediately followed by ‘Sound and Vision’, a song that right from the outset you can’t help but smile at. My personal favourite, ‘A New Career in a New Town’ is sandwiched by ‘Be My Wife’ and ‘Warszawa’. The former feeling like a rebellious kid running away from home to get married to the child of a rival family and the latter could very well slot into ‘Close Encounters of the Third Kind’ (interestingly released in the same year as ‘Low’) and no one would notice. It is all of these stark contrasts that make it the Berlin album. Perhaps more than any other city, particularly in the 20th Century, Berlin is a city full of juxtapositions and even though Bowie was living in the West this albums feels like it is drawing from both the West aswell as the East. 
I would also be remiss if I didn’t talk a little about ‘A New Career in a New Town’, which after much deliberation is my stand out song from the record. A new career begins with a thumping, a thumping that before becoming rhythmic feels like it could be Bowie’s heart as it beats with the excitement and nervousness of going to Berlin, this thumping explodes into a song that in my eyes should be the anthem of the Berlin wall coming down (don’t quote me on that because I have a long list of songs that I think all deserve to be that anthem and i change my mind on which is the most fitting every day). 
Above everything else, ‘Low’ is far from a perfect album. I don’t think I would even call it a masterpiece. And I think thats why I love it. It feels real, more than any other Bowie album, to me atleast, this feels like it is him. ‘Low’ seems to perfectly encapsulate the feel of a city and the man making the records and preserves it in a very honest way. When I was in Berlin a couple of years ago (oh boy do I miss that city) I listened to ‘Low’ and I felt it was as current as when it came out in 1977. Berlin is a city that has such a history that it can’t be ignored and yet, it also has a complete sense of modernity. Moreover that it is always on the cutting edge going into the future. It is a city that exists in 2020, in the Cold War and is painfully aware of a time before then. ‘Low’, whilst coming out in the late 70s, somehow gets all of that. Bowie made it coming out after a troubled time with addiction, it is aware of his past, it is focused on the now in Berlin in ‘77 and it is looking to the future. To be quite honest, I don’t think we’ll ever catch up with ‘Low’, it will always be more than one step ahead. Just like Bowie.

P.S Now listen to ‘Heroes’ because THAT is a masterpiece.
