I think my favourite headcanon that I have is that zag loves I’m gonna claw out your eyes (and drown you to death) and mel loves hymn to zagreus, and sometimes they annoy each other by trying to sing their respective songs louder than the other

In a Week by Hozier ft. Karen Cowley

“The raven is death, obviously. When I die, I want a good tombstone—something right spooky. LT’s got something against the underground, though you’d think that would be just his kind of place. That’s alright. He needs to, he can cremate me. It’s not exactly Catholic, and Mam would turn in her grave, but God is a unicorn and no one is pure anymore, so. What’s all that got to do with me?”

Johnny “Soap” McTavish has a journal. Had. It is his no longer.

Simon “Ghost” Riley had dreams—awful ones, the kind that sank claws into his lungs, dragged him into sleep, and then sent him careening out of it. He still has dreams, but they’re different, now. Better. Johnny’s pages have folded themselves under his eyes and gotten into his head, brighter and more infectious than anything else has ever been. It’s more than the past, that rotting carcass behind him, and more than now. Now is nothing. Now is ash. It’s like, it’s like—blinding, is what it is. He’s a blind man.

It is biblical now. Ghost has read it backward and forward and sideways and inside out. When he runs out of things to read, he reads them again, and when that is not enough, he reads between the lines.

kara has a gorgeous singing voice, but is so reticent about singing around people that no one really knows. she also hates any kind of spotlight so its not something so flaunts.

cute moment of the boys from my show!! <3

[gloriousmonsters]

yknow i dislike so much of totk's story and framing and zelda's inclusion in the past and etc but... the very basic storyline of 'Ganondorf had an incarnation at the start of Hyrule who refused to acknowledge their authority, had a bit of war with them, then tried to fuck them up via murdering someone for magic about it'? just feels SO right if you just end it with him getting killed, not sealed away. both from 'this would play great w/get corrupted into part of the narrative of the Gerudo not heeding the gods and refusing to humble themselves to partake in divine gifts etc' perspective and as something that could inform koume and kotake and ganondorf from OoT.

(obv you'd have to make either hyrule's history way shorter or koume and kotake's lives way longer (or change the time to not the founding of hyrule, but some sort of re-formulation/new royal line establishing?)

but the idea that koume and kotake saw their king die trying to defy Hyrule, while SOME PEOPLE (the sage of lightning) pathetically grovelled for their lives (tried to do desperate damage control) explains like, so much about them, and OoT Ganondorf's plan scans perfectly as 'I'm going to make up for that defeat by doing it better'. He's willing to play a longer game with fake fealty, be more crafty. He'll use any tools at his disposal--except the Gerudo, who he'll keep at arms' length (no endangering them on the battlefield like old days, he's such a good king, ignore all the other ways he's endangering them). And despite the kingdom's weakened state, he's not going to go half-assed about the magic he grabs, no, he is going for the TRIFORCE. hyrule won't have a chance to take him down because he'll have won from the moment he touches it. suck it, ganondorf the first

I don't mean to tip your scale but You will fail at Placing any spells on me. I just ate a flower, One that claims your power,

So you better cower before me.

You must be a liar. Mortals can't acquire Moly without dire consequence.

Then I must be a god like you, Cause I got this root from the ground with my bare hands--

"Hermes gave it to you, didn't he?"

"Okay, fine, yes, but regardless--"

You and I are now evenly matched. Our fates are intertwined, they're attached.

I've got people to protect, friends I can't neglect So now there is no turning back. You've made your one wrong move, now you're done for, I will be the one to prove that you're done for. Not even a spell saves you, cause you're done for. Oh, you better run or soon you will be done for.

also more odds & ends orville info & more not Not orville/phil info as well:

"In Steinkellner’s version of Summer Stock, Jane Falbury (Danielle Wade) and “Pop,” her father (Stephen Lee Anderson), are struggling to hang on to the family farm. Their farm is one of the few in the Connecticut River Valley that hasn’t been absorbed by the Wingates, whose holdings completely surround theirs.

The widow Margaret Wingate (Veanne Cox), whom son Orville (Will Roland) aptly describes as having eyes “as cold as death itself,” plans to absorb the Falbury farm by the simple expedient of having Orville marry Jane. After all the two kids had decided they were engaged in first grade!

Enter the prodigal younger sister Gloria (Arianna Rosario) who has been seduced by the lure of the Great White Way. She returns to the farm bringing along Joe Ross (Corbin Bleu in the Gene Kelly role), the director of the show that will make her a star, its composer Phil Filmore (Gilbert L. Bailey II), and the entire company. She has generously offered the company, which can’t afford rehearsal space in New York, the use of the family farm’s barn. Sister Jane reluctantly agrees to the intrusion with the proviso that the thespians will double as farm hands.

As rehearsals progress, Phil discovers that Orville, a bit of a doormat who has been raised with the understanding that he will never have to work, is a musical wunderkind. He is enlisted to work his magic on the show’s score and begins to blossom.

Widow Wingate takes umbrage with all this and vows to shut the enterprise down. Fortunately, the cold embers in her soul are stirred to renewed life by her encounter with Montgomery Leach (J. Anthony Crane), the has-been ham enlisted to give Ross’s show some cachet, so all might not be lost.

[...]

They make this Summer Stock a veritable feast of nostalgia. I was especially taken by the amusing way Steinkellner used Jackie Gleason’s theme song “Always” to further widow Wingate’s plot to get Jane and Orville hitched.

[...]

Orville, who has found personal liberation in show biz, is accorded a moment that reminded me of a similar scene in the musical version of The Producers. In a triumphant declaration of his emergence from under his mother’s thumb he exults, “I’m in the theatre! And I love it!” The audience loved it, too.

[...]

As director, Feore has elicited some wonderful performances, especially from subsidiary characters. Veanne Cox is splendid as Margaret Wingate as is J. Anthony Crane as Montgomery Leach, the faded matinee idol. Will Roland (Orville) and Gilbert L. Bailey II (Phil) both have wonderful moments and their intense professional friendship is one of the show’s highlights."

INTENSE PROFESSIONAL FRIENDSHIP you say....and also ofc everything about orville and wanting to be a musician and being in the theatre and he loves it sounds so good. i love it

the other night i was just absolutely flabbergasted thinking about how music is such a sacred thing that brings people together so easily. . . from the song of a church choir, to the dishwashers and cooks singing along badly to 2000s hits in a hole in the wall diner, music is everywhere within everyone and always has been and it’s such a beautiful thing to think about

[enjoytheglow]

This is the scene I was talking about in my previous post

[bellamyroselia]

Was going through some old songs both for inspiration and to put on playlists, and I think I found a great Lucinigo song

Granted, it's not in English but that's not really a problem for me

He's staring. Has been, actually, for a while now. Makoto was accustomed to moving around a lot throughout the years ever since what happened ━ happened. Maybe, in the far off haze of autopilot spanning years, long before Akira had taken the attic above as his own, he'd visited Leblanc; when he was young & quiet & dead-eyed, and quite frankly he still was still all of those things, but it was different now. Knowing what he knew. Going through what, he was finding, was a very common occurrence for people like him ( the fools, one might say. )

Yuki takes a sip of his soda from a silly straw he may or may not have brought from home as the work to close up at the end of the day buzzes around him behind the counter, Sojiro willfully turning a blind eye to the two wildcards in his Cafe in turn for that higher priority. It's a good opportunity. Makoto takes it.

[Rhodes, Buddy, Charlie - a totally random coincidence uwu]

When Buddy found out about what happened with Rhodes, they couldn't stop thinking about it. They were even grinding their beak over it, unable to just let it go. They even went on to tell Charlie about it, mostly venting about how a parent could do that to a child! It was there, between them, they hatched a plan. A surprise. They would save up every penny they could and get Rhodes their instruments back! Somehow...they knew they could ask their parents for help, but, they wanted to put in the effort - for their friend.

So, it took a while, a good couple of months of working their feathers off, but they were still able to afford the electric guitar that got sold. The drums would come later; they got one out of two done.

-

"C'mon Rhodes, you're gonna love it," Buddy grinned, leading both Rhodes and Charlie up the stairs, "It's a surprise, just for you."

Buddy was giddy themselves, doing their best not to just spoil the surprise. Leading them straight to the music room, Buddy threw open the door, letting Rhodes and Charlie inside. Resting against the piano, was a jade green electric guitar, with Rhodes name printed on the side. Buddy gestured towards it,

"Ta-Da!" Buddy laughed, "We got you your guitar back!"

"Well...we doubt it's the exact same one your dad sold..." Charlie comments, "But we hope you like it as much..."

"Well, what do you think?" Buddy asks

| muse interaction [part one]

Rhodes was a few things, he was pretty blunt and didn't fully hold back his thoughts. Full of opinions and well he made them known as well. Could blame this side from the way he was raised by his father a harsh critic himself. Throw in the fact the boy was smart and often made to feel in the right? well it was just the right mixture to create the mess that was the owl-pegion. But like himself being mixed species he had other interests past just knowing what was good like food and drinks and even fashion. Rhodes also had a love for music. Sparked by his mother from when he was young. Introduced to the best of the best of music because of his mom. It was what she claimed helped spark her inspiration for art. Always playing the old glam rock bands loud and proudly. So she started to give him her old CDs she would burn the music on to. Even with his mother being so far away after the divorce. It was like having her near by. Maybe that is why music became a passion.

Not that it matters what it meant to him. His step mother turly fit the bill on the wicked step mother trope. Complaining anytime he touched his drum set, he'll even when he got headphones for his guitar! But now she just blew up every time he even just thought about playing! When his brother was a hatchling sure he could understand the claims of interrupting their naps and such. But when they got older? Sudden it was giving her headache and whatever bullshit she are up with. Often getting his Dad to scold him and tell him he couldn’t practice in the house. Fine! He wouldn’t he went else where, and played for hours like the pier, or around the town just anywhere he could hell he even got a gig or too in some coffee shops. And maybe he got a bit carried away. Maybe he stayed out too long and missed an assignment here and there And Maybe when Karine got stuck answering a call from the school only to be annoyed? Rhodes shouldn’t have told her to bite shit. And it shouldn’t been a surprise when he came home from school to find his instruments just gone. Sold. Just like that, Rhodes wasn’t sure what hurt most. His dad agreeing to it? Or the fact the drums were a gift from him. He never had the heart to tell his mom what happened.

It wasn’t worth the fight that would break out between them and maybe? Maybe he was tried of all of that. Maybe he could just take this sacrifice. If he just gave it up then, that would end the fighting between him and Karine. Which would end the spats between his mom and dad over it all. Because, his mother was always on his side. Which just made more trouble at his dad’s. Yeah maybe it was for the best. But? Rhodes was kind of known for being a music guy. Hell he scored a few dates because he could play. Guy like musicians too after all. So when he got asked to help out tje school band in a pinch?

More trouble. He spent a few days with Buddy's family till things blew over. He really didn't want to turn to his mom because well then she would know what happened. But he did let it slip to Buddy what happened and honestly? He didn't know Buddy could be mad. Did feel nice though having someone on his side in that whole mess. But it wouldn't compare to now.

And we'll it's why he had gotten three tickets for the school performance. On the off chance he felt lole asking Charlie and Buddy to go. His mom was going she could pick them up. Maybe. The show was that weekend. When Buddy called to see if he could stop into the city though? He brought them he needed.to give his mom her ticket anyway.

"C'mon Rhodes, you're gonna love it,"

Buddy was sunny as always, smiling wide and looked like he might pop from the excitement. So course Rhodes followed along with Charlie who seemed equally as excited in his own way. Interesting?

"It's a surprise, just for you."

"For me?" Rhodes tried sharing a stare with charile to see if he could gain a hint here at all. But nothing. He tried to rack his mind a second to take a guess. Unable to think of any reason for a surpise? A but familiar with the house by now he did notice they were heading towards the music room. Buddy's Dad Bailey was a musician himself. Piano and the violin he believed was what that room housed in it?

Still didn't give him much answer on why they were going there? Rhodes didn't know squat about either of those instruments? Maybe this was some werid bonding moment? Like friends do? An attempt to cheer Rhodes up over everything going on? Well the guestuer was nice but not needed.

Course that wasn't the surpise. "Alright but I gotta get to my-" words dying out ready for an excuse to be givin when his eyes landed on it. A jade green electric guitar. Propped up against the grand piano on the room. It almost nearly matched his own why it took him a second to react to it at all. But Buddy wasted no time to reveal the surpise.

"Ta-Da!" Buddy laughed, "We got you your guitar back!"

"You?" Was all that came out from Rhodes own beak at the time.

"Well...we doubt it's the exact same one your dad sold..."

Of course it wouldn't be, he tried to get it back the day it happened to no avail. The guy at the shop from the receipt he was so kindly given by his step mom, said his stiff was gone. Top teir shit so course it went fast in a pawn shop. But it nearly looked the same!

"But we hope you like it as much..."

"I.." again words just were not forming as they would normally. Left to simply walk into the room and get a closer look. It wasn't the same the excat same but it was the right model and color even. But what stood out most? His name was on it. Which deceeases resell value. He sure putting his name on it was more just to add to the gesture for some reason Rhodes was unable to guess the meaning behind. Moving to pick it up still at a loss for words he slipped the strap over and around his neck and felt over the strings. Taut of course because it was newer and odd tingle of excitement came across his fingers. Recalling the pain and blisters he got from learning. A little quicken pace to his heart as he strummed across the cords.

He forgot how that felt.

"Well, what do you think?"

Rhodes stood quite for a moment. What did he think? for someone not to shy away from stating his thoughts for once he couldn't form a single one. Rhodes deep down loved both his parents he did but some where along the way it was like they both sort of just forget about Rhodes. His dad remarried started a new life. Before encouraged his quest for music. Now? he selling what he loved most and claiming it a waste of time? His mom was better sure but in her time being single it's been about finding who she was and such so much so she barely seems phased by Rhodes lack of interests. Doesn't help he says nothing of course. But Buddy and Charlie? they went out of their way and got him this? Rhodes felt a warmth hit his cheeks. They didn't have too. At best he thought this friendship would last a few months at best. But now? He finds himself chocked up, wiping at his eyes with the sleeve of his shirt.

"Think, it's better than my last one actually Buds and Char." Needing a second before he turned to face them. Smiling softly he had no idea how to even say thank you. As he looked at the pair of them, and lowers his gaze down to the gift. Feeling over it. It felt right. "Thanks really you really didn't have too. You two better be ready to tell me your favorites songs though. Only right the first thing played on this beauty is the favorite songs from my favorite people ever." Sentiment wasn't truly his thing. Suddenly he recalled the tickets. "Ya know, im pretty good on the drums too." He reached into his pocket so to hold the tickets out to the pair of them. "if ya free this weekend that is, was hoping you guys might wanna check it out?"
