Sandman <3 For all those who have been asking about the other Moons in GITM, here is one I can finally show you! Sandman is a Moon animatronic from Ghost in the Machine <3 His origins are, for now, a mystery ~

One of the less popular, though still decently well-known, sand-related songs from The Chordettes

I'd like to think of this song as a sequel to "Mr. Sandman." Some might find this idea sad, when you listen to the lyrics, but I think it's just the type of bittersweet ending you'd expect when a dream exits someone's life. And I enjoy hearing of the comfort the speaker seems to take from familiar places, where they now return seeking memories, either of a friend, a lover, or even something else entirely that once brought them so much joy

“Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream Make him the cutest that I’ve ever seen Give him two lips like roses and clover Then tell him that his lonesome nights are over.”

I redrew an old drawing of mine from The Sandman. 🖤

Mr Sandman - Benny Cross x Reader

A/N: another Benny Cross one-shot to go with, I guess, I am dubbing the music series? Or something as such, as I am using song lyric's before or in the one-shot haha.

Previous: Part One, Part Two

Friday, the end of the work week for you! The joy it brought you was relief, to know two days away from this lousy grocery store. And its shitty manager, who enjoys making shifts Hell. But it was Friday, his power ends after you bundy-off for the day!

Two hours and thirty-five minutes left, not that you were counting down. But you had past the clock as you walked from the back room, and brought out a box with different candy and gum to stock at the registers. While it wasn’t busy you thought you’d get a head on replenishment. And it would – hopefully – kill more time.

The stores radio was on a not so popular station, which played mostly 50s music, and you didn’t mind it. You quite enjoyed it really. Mr Sandman by The Chordettes had started playing. And, funny enough, you moved back to your register with smooth steps, almost gliding to the music. While humming along to the catchy tune. You smiled as you turned around, your dress swishing about.

“Mr Sandman, bring me a dream

Make him the cutest that I’ve ever seen

Give him two lips like roses and clover

Then tell him his lonesome nights are over

Sandman, I’m so alone-“

You had been singing, your back to the store and any customers. Though the store had been dead when you went out the back. In that time a customer had entered, moving around. They had came in for one reason, and unfortunately, that reason wasn’t in sight. Until you had come out from the back. They had taken a moment to notice how focused you were on the music playing, how you seemed to glide back to the registers. And began to sing. They found it all so amusing, and adorable.

Your singing died – and you wish you could have died on the spot – when you turned around, coming face to face with Benny Cross. You jumped, hand flying over your chest in fright, and a touch of mortification. Your cheeks heating up, eyes wide. After the diner incident a few days ago, you had been mindful to avoid Benny. But it looks like he wasn’t avoiding you.

Slowly your senses came back, and with it your brain function. “C-can I h-help you?” you stuttered, wishing to kick yourself. And moving back behind your register, trying to put distance between you as you awaited his reply.

Benny suddenly questioned why he had come in. Sure, he had noticed you working and finally wanted to talk to you. But what for? It was as if his body had acted before his brain could come up with a plan. So here he stood, before you, unsure of how to answer you. How could you help him?

His baby blues darted from you and around the register, before landing on a pack of gum. Reaching out, he grabbed a packet and placed it on the counter. “Gum" was his response. Which he cursed himself for.

Really? All you could say was gum!? He mentally chastised himself.

Slowly you nodded, hand shakily picking up the packet and running it through for him. Softly you told him what he owed, and Benny pocketed his hand in his jeans in a hurry. Fishing out the money, he placed it in your open palm. For the briefest of moments the rough pads on his finger tips touched your skin. The feel caused a chill to run down your spine, before you finished the transaction by putting the money in the register.

Benny picked up the gum, neither of you speaking. His eyes watching you, as you tried to remain calm. Which was hard to do under your crushes gaze. This was his moment, so what was happening? It was like he was a teenager again, and had trouble talking to a girl.

Benny cleared his throat. “I wanted to apologise for the guys the other day" he babbled out. “They shouldn’t have said that...”

You blinked, taking in his words. “A-ah, it’s f-fine. No real harm done...”

He nodded. “Ah...what’s ya name?”

Your eyes widened at Benny’s question. “I-I'm (Y/N)...” you replied softly.

Benny slowly nodded, a small smile on his full lips. “That’s a pretty name, it suits ya...”

You blushed, yet remained quiet. How do you reply to that? And without sounding like an idiot? You can’t, not for you anyways. You both stood there, watching the other while remaining quiet. Benny was having trouble coming up with something else to say, wanting to keep this interaction going. But he was dying, no words coming to mind. And in that moment the silence was broken, but not by either of you.

“Mr Cross" came an all too familiar stern voice, you both turned and saw an older woman you knew all too well.

“Mrs Martin” Benny stiffly greeted.

The old woman was actually a former high school teacher, which you both had encountered years prior. The old gargoyle looked to you, her gaze soft, before her stern gaze was back on Benny. She was known to be a hard ass, unless you had been a good and hard working students. Which you had been. As you can guess, Benny hadn’t been such a student. And that meant many of the teachers looked down their noses at him.

She huffed. “I hope you aren’t bothering this nice young woman" her voice was sharp, and had almost a warning to it.

Benny stood up tall, head held high. “Of course not Mrs Martin, just makin' a purchase and small talk".

Mrs Martin nod firmly, “good. Then you can move on".

Benny sighed, not wanting to cause a scene. “Yeah” – he turned to you with a lopsided grin and a wink – “see ya around (Y/N)”.

Benny then headed out, you watched him walk across the road to his bike via the window in the front of the shop. You stared at him, getting on his bike and starting it up, until you heard Mrs Martin clear her voice. Turning back to the old woman, who was giving you a pointed look, her basket sitting on the counter awaiting you. So you began to ring up her items and bag them, before taking her money and returning her change and receipt.

She collected her bags and was about to leave, before pausing. She looked to you with a concerned look. “Look (Y/N), a man like Benny Cross isn’t right for you. You’re a good girl, who deserves a good man. You understand?”

You didn’t like how she assumed Benny wasn’t a good man. Sure, he was a Vandal and they are questionable. But part of you believed there was good in the young Vandal, and saw it first hand when he stuck up for you. Benny was good in his own way. Plus, there’s good and bad in everyone.

Not trusting your tongue, you just nodded to her. And she seemed pleased, taking her leave. Yet that small interaction with your old teacher left a bad taste in your mouth. In your fantasies Benny was sweet and kind, but in reality, he wasn’t as such. You’d heard the gossip of what he gets up too or has done.

Then you realised you had spoken to Benny. He had come in to your work and spoken to you. Your face felt hot from the blush that washed over your face. No doubt your face was bright red. Placing your hands on your cheeks, you couldn’t help but smile a little. Than that voice in the back of your head came forth, putting doubt in your mind. Maybe he was just apologising and that was it. No way he would be interested in you...

Did you get mysterious messages? ~🎵

MYSTIC MESSENGER MUSIC HEADCANONS :D (RFA + V, Rika, Vanderwood)

Jihyun / V

I think V would love Mitski. Just imagining him painting while my love, mine All mine plays in the background is so sweet. I also think he'd like cavetown, clario, Adrianne Lenker, Liane Flores and Tears For Fears. He often listens to it as background noise when painting or photographing but I also believe he'd practice singing using certain songs (and maybe sing you to sleep HSHSHS)

Jumin

Jumin gives me trouble because I feel like he listens to music for lyrics or lack thereof rather than sound. He listens to blues, jazz, classical and maybe a soft rock love song here and there. If he listens to a song with lyrics, he'll study them. He doesn't really listen to music often but when he does, it's often used as background noise rather than him genuinely indulging.

707 / Saeyoung / Luciel

I think he'd listen to mostly everything but especially synth wave, pop, new wave, rap, noise and glam rock for some reason. I could see him vibing to Depeche Mode one moment and then Fetty Wap the next. He would definitely unironically listen to wannabe by the spice girls LMAO. Also probably really likes tv show intros like iCarly theme or something. AND DISCO!! Seven dancing to bee gees when!?!?

Yoosung

To get rid of the obvious he'd listen to video game osts, pixel (I think that's what the genre is called?) and probably, here me out, pop punk. Or like Falling in Reverse. I think his favourite band would be the All American Rejects but I can also see him liking old demi lavato or Camilla cabello. Both basic white girl music and then randomly pop punk mixed in. As for gaming soundtracks I think he'd really like the undertale ost and probably listens to music through gacha life amv 😔

Zen / Hyun

I FEEL LIKE HIS MUSIC TASTE WAS EXPLICITLY STATED BUT I DONT REMEMBER RAHH okay okay uhm- !! I can totally see him listening to Whitney Houston, Abba, The Cardigans, The Beatles etc for some reason but also he'd feel self conscious that his music taste is too "old" so he would throw in shit like Kendrick Lamar and Future to spice things up and he would never ever admit that his favourite song is Angeleyes by Abba.

Jaehee

Bubblegum Pop, Indie and Doo Wop!!! Mitski, Girl In Red, Kinneret, Princess Chelsea, The Chordettes and The Supremes are frequents of Jaehee's playlist! She only really listens to music on the plane or in the office though. It helps her relax and take her mind off the stress for a bit. I can imagine her learning piano and playing songs like Johnny Angel or Mr Sandman in her free time.

Rika

Rika likes Melanie Martinez and i refuse to argue. She would probably relate really hard to some of her music and overall loves the way it sounds. Can also see her liking Penelope Scott. On the other hand, i see her liking classical or just soft piano music. Color me Blue by Akane would also be a song i can see her liking.

Vanderwood

Metal, Glam Rock, Glam Metal, Dad Rock, 80s rock just. Yeah. You get the point. Metallica, Journey, Mötley Crüe, Guns n Roses, Van Halen, Cinderella, Def Leppord and Dokken !! His favourite bands. Just classic 80s/90s rock for ya. Absolutely goes to their concerts religiously. Probably plays electric guitar as well..he could perform his own concert tbf

Mr Sandman by The Chordettes but its all the versions of Trudy talking about Tucker

[albiorixsims]

... people I`d like to know better💕

Tagged By: @kvashaa спасибо за отметку 😘! Мне это напомнило анкеты, которыми обменивались в детстве, где-то у меня до сих валяется такая тетрадочка)) И как обычно, краткость - не моя муза.

Last Song: The Chordettes - Mr Sandman (музыку слушаю редко, я больше визуал, точнее визуало-кинестетик - сначала рассмотреть как следует, а потом еще потрогать надо хдд. Но мелодия сэндмена в голове застр��ла на днях и не отпускала, пока я ее наконец-то не послушала. И вот теперь она опять у меня в голове 🤪)

Favorite Color: смотря на чем)) последнее время люблю приглушенно-припыленную палитру в естественных тонах, как ниже, но определенного любимого оттенка нет.

Last Movie: мульт "Хранители снов" (пересматривала, оч люблю, смотрю практически каждый год в январе), а сейчас в процессе просмотра второго сезона "Игра в кальмара".

Last Book: фанфики считаются? хдд "Shattered Pieces" by ashestocrows (потому что естественно после мульта я пошла читать фанфики по Кромешник (ака Питч Блэк, я в оригинале смотрю)/Джек Фрост (и ничего мне не говорите про разницу в возрасте - Фросту за 300 лет!)

А вообще, я столько перечитала литературы в юности, что последние лет десять, наверное, пресытилась, и мало что цепляет. Если говорить прям о книжке, которая официально публиковалась, то "Гойда" Джека Гельба (псевдоним, на самом деле автор - молодая девушка), псевдоисторический роман о Федоре Басманове и его жизни при дворе и отношениях с Иваном Грозным.

Хотя изначально книжку заказала больше из-за обложки от Кориандр, с первых глав очень понравился слог автора и сама история зацепила, в итоге я бросила бумажную, отцензуренную версию уже где-то на 1/5 части книги и нашла изначальный вариант, который автор выкладывала когда-то на фикбуке (сейчас он естественно удален, поэтому пришлось хорошенько порыскать в интернете). И вот, получается, что по сути, это тоже фанфик😅😅😅))) Что я считаю плюсом, ага. А "книжки", пожалуй, как раз и не читаю последнее время из-за беспощадной цензуры, потому что весь смак вырезан.

Sweet, Spicy or Savory: острое и кисло-сладкое (люблю азиатскую кухню), но и от сладенького не отказываюсь)))

Last Thing I Googled: внезапно, Марди Гра 2024 (сама не знаю зачем, увидела в Игре в Кальмара и, наверное, хотела вспомнить что это за действо такое)

Current Obsession: новые сюжеты для двух геймплейных историй, хотя нет трех, или даже четырех 🤨 (короче, я как обычно в своих фантазиях, которые, надеюсь, вскоре выльются в блог, а то одна история вообще аж с прошлого нг терзает, а другой сюжет, в общем-то, даже отснят почти полностью (пришлось заранее из-за ограничения по времени события с подарками Смерти), но перед ним должны быть типа события до, которые пока не могу отскринить из-за беспорядка в СС...)

Больше ничего не расскажу пока что, но все скрины, которые я вставила в пост - это спойлеры, (а то давно ничего не постила, стыдно даже 😁 нет) и на них есть парочка новых персонажей, которых я никогда еще не показывала (почти), но очень-очень хочу показать в скором будущем🤞.

Looking Forward To: когда наконец-то доразберу свои завалы СС... Занимаюсь этим уже больше месяца, из-за чего не могу ни играть, ни новые истории скринить, только notion заметками засоряю(((

After writing such heavy stuff I need a little levity, so have some wholesome modern!AU Enmu imagines

Enmu’s absolute favourite Christmas film is The Polar Express, for obvious reasons. He literally jumps for joy whenever he watches it.

He’s 100% part of the Thomas The Tank Engine fandom. Making video edits, writing fanfiction, making fanart, the whole works.

Enmu’s loves classical music, especially Tchaikovsky, and songs from the Golden Age of Hollywood, particularly Mr Sandman by The Chordettes and Dream A Little Dream Of Me by Doris Day.

Enmu is a massive fan of the Nightmare On Elm Street series. He often brags about being able to give Freddy Krueger nightmares on various horror subreddits, which elicits no responses other than “ok edgelord”.

Enmu is literally in love with vintage steam engines. Whenever he visits a museum dedicated to them, you’re guaranteed to hear at least one employee say “Sir, please stop kissing that train!” And of course, he always has his camera at the ready, compiling a massive portfolio of his obsession.

“Film titles are so deceptive these days. Believe me, I rented Trainspotting with very high hopes and that’s two hours of my life I’ll never get back.” - Enmu, after watching Trainspotting without having a clue what to expect. His disappointment was immeasurable and his day was ruined.

The Starlight Express Incident, rather than being the title of an analogue horror series, is what happened when Enmu went to see the eponymous musical and got kicked out of the theatre for being too excited. For the most part, he was just squeeing very loudly. Then as the show ended, he literally screamed “HOORAY!”, got handbagged by several frustrated audience members, fell out of his seat and down the stairs, then had to be dragged outside by security before anyone tripped over him.

Enmu has a plushie of Thomas the Tank Engine that he falls asleep with every night. He is fiercely protective of it.

Enmu has My Trains by Lemon Demon as his ringtone, because of course he does.
