#the song is bismarck

[skdjrhaejdhst-cat]

I'm sorry but "bound by iron and blood" is the single most metal line in all of history and it's a song about a fucking boat

[botslayer]

We had gathered around a simulated fire in our holochamber. There were a number of us sharing traditional campfire songs from our various worlds, a trend so common among the galaxy you could almost compare it to eating. A lot of them were, upon reflection, the sort of things sung to children but we felt they were special to us. When it was the human's turn, a man named Sam, I was most curious what he would play. To my surprise it was a war song.

"In May of Nineteen Forty-one the war had just begun.

The Germans had the biggest ship that had the biggest guns.

The Bismarck was the fastest ship that ever sailed the seas.

On her decks were guns as big as steers and shells as big as trees."

Bare in mind the forest around the nine of us shifted to a simulacrum of an earth forest for his song. We had a good sense of an Earth tree's size.

I don't recall all the rest of the song but I do recall Chikal asking where Sam had learned it and the resulting answer. His father. His own spawner taught him how to play and sing a song about maritime warfare. I now understand the ways humans frighten a number of other inductee species.

what's funny is that other than our car being wrecked I'm kind of having a really great day?

[certifiedgirlthing]

A good example of it. Nightcore, with the character being from an anime.

[tropicalisima]

He was made to rule the waves across the seven seas To lead the warmachine To rule the waves and lead the Kriegsmarine The terror of the seas The Bismarck and the Kriegsmarine

[howl-at--the-sun]

This has been my entire mood today

[ragingbookdragon]

Ghost: Aw, you still listen to boy bands? Cute.

Y/N: Shut up, boy. You look like you listen to Boulevard of Broken Dreams just so you can imagine angsty scenarios.

Soap: *Snort*

Y/N: You shut up too. You look like your favorite song is Stacy’s Mom because it makes you think of when you shagged your teacher at the end of your sixth year and then bragged about it.

Gaz: *Trying not to laugh*

Y/N: I better not hear you either. I know for a fact you’re in the 1% of listeners of Weird Al on Spotify.

Price: *Tired old man sigh*

Y/N: Don’t even. Your favorite songs are The Wreck of The Edmund Fitzgerald and Sink the Bismarck and all that tells me is that your hyper-fixation is shipwrecks.

Rammstein [headcanon for König]

a/n: @actuallyhiswife had a post about a Rammstein song fitting König and as a German metalhead who follows this band for a very long time I’m eager to share some of my culture with you guys. Tbh most of those songs are for a quite possessive and masochistic version of König, but tbh I can see that and I can’t wait to write some stalker!masochist!König inspired fics by those songs. I also attached a spotify link for every song.

tw/cw: suggestive content, mentions of cannibalism, smut, sex, piv, noncon, dubcon, possessiveness , power play, masochism, degradation, toxicity, manipulation, pain and more

If you want to know anything more about the specific songs or anything, just comment or message me.🩶

》 Masterpost 《

Ich tu’ dir weh

This song is about the pleasure of pain mixed with degradation and manipulation. A line translates into: “Your body is already distorted, but it doesn’t matter because everything is permitted that pleases. I’m gonna hurt you.” And, how a person (reader) is obsessed and dependent from another (König) and this person literally doesn’t care about it.  Another line translates into: “You’re completely devoted to me; You love me because I don’t love you. You gonna bleed for my salvation.”

Bück’ dich

This song is literally about submission and degradation. One line literally says: “I don’t care about the face, just bend over.”

Pussy

I have to add this one for obvious reasons. It’s just a song about having sex. I don’t think I need to really explain it, but I want to translate one of my favorite lines from that song that would fit König way too good. The line says: “Pretty Misses, do you desire more? Let’s have a blitzkrieg with my meaty rifle.”

Giftig

This song is literally about a toxic and dangerous relationship. A relationship that you can’t cut loose. So you rather destroy yourself with it than leave them. A line for example translates into: “The poison flows slowly into my blood, I start to see white lights and yes, somehow I do like it. There is simply no remedy.”  

Link 2 3 4

Originally this song was a statement to deny the accusations of the Band being part of the right scene in Germany.  But the marching beat (added as irony back then) is something I just find fitting. A line translates into: “They want my heart on the right spot, but then I look below, it beats left there”

Rein Raus

This song is just about having sex and fitting a very huge dick into a tight cunt. Yeah, I don’t need to explain that further. A line to translate: “You moan, I predict you: An elephant into a bottleneck.”

Mein Teil

This is literal song about cannibalism. (Was inspired by the criminal case by the cannibal of Rothenburg.) Won’t go into any further details because the song speaks for itself. A line to translate: “Today I will meet a gentleman; he likes me so much he could eat me up. Soft parts and even hard ones are on the menu”

Waidmanns Heil

A song that totally holds hunter/prey vibes. It's about the thrill during a hunt. About the ecstasy the hunter feels while chasing his prey, and about the power balance/play. A transalate of the very first lines: "I've been in heat for days, so I'm going to hunt myself a doe and I'll sit there until morning, that I can give it a chest hit."

Du hast

It's, as I believe, one of the most known songs outside of Germany because of the simplicity of its text. But we have a big double meaning here, because "Du has(s)t mich" can be translated into "you have me" or into "you hate me". It explores the detriments of marriage, and the developing separation and resentment drawn from a long-term relationship.

Bonus:

Bismarck by Sabaton – Sorry but I won’t argue about it, he does love that one! So I just needed to put it onto the list. If you don't know Sabaton, they make really cool power metal inspired by actual historical war victories, heroes and soldiers.

[plane-goes-brrrt]

@aqua-grunt-zesty, do you remember that speaker in your team's HQ that is still blasting music periodically? I did it, but, uhm, I feel guilty now. So, as an apology, I will play some sea-themed songs and then turn the speaker off.

Sleep well, guys. I will not bother you anymore...

...for now.

[maddie-grove]

Becoming a country music purist but specifically for that period in the early sixties where a bunch of country songs were just recaps of historical events or general historical fiction. I don’t want to hear about some guy with his girl in a truck on a Saturday night; I want to hear how the Bismarck was sunk during WWII.

FIC WRITERS' RETREAT 2023

Registration Now Open!

For the first time since 2019, we are back in action! Full-blown fic writers retreat, as is told of in song and story.

To Register, Click Here

When: August 10-13 2023

Where: Sheridan College Trafalgar Campus, Oakville, Ontario, Canada (Near Toronto)

What is it? Four days spent with other fic writers, at all levels of experience. There will be a mix of workshops (Topics TBA and open to suggestions), prompts and challenges, and plenty of independent writing time for your own personal projects.

It’s also an opportunity to make connections with people who share your interests and passions, and where you can focus on your own goals and creativity.

Finally, all meals and many of the snacks are taken care of so your only responsibility will be to yourself.***

Cost (in CANADIAN DOLLARS): $450.00 

(approximately $340 USD as of this posting)

Here’s what you get for it:

Meals (Three dinners, three breakfasts, two lunches)

Accommodation (2-person suites with private bedrooms)

Meeting space and resources

Daily workshops and writing sessions (2+ per day)

Registration fee included in the price

Registration Process:

Click on the Registration Link, above.

Complete the form and submit it.

Select a payment option: a) e-transfer (Canadian residents only) or b) PayPal (link in registration form)

Make your deposit of $225 CAD (50% of total cost) to complete your registration

Second payment is due on August 7, 2023, the Monday before the retreat begins.

Please note that we have reserved suites for our estimated number of participants so space will be allocated on a first come, first served basis.

Travel to Toronto is not included

...but once you're here you can probably get a lift to the venue without too much trouble.

Contact me with any questions! Or see the FAQ Page

***A note regarding meals: They'll look a little different this year. Other years, the venue has provided catering, staff, dining area, etc. This year, that option became prohibitively expensive, so we've decided to handle it ourselves. (Because @blogstandbygo is a treasure and a scarily competent organizer.)

This will be a mix of outside catering (from which we serve ourselves), DoorDash style take out, and stuff we assemble ourselves. Your registration covers the cost of all the food, and it will mostly be prepared and ready-to-eat, but there may be some assembly required, and we'll all share clean-up.

This has made a huge difference in terms of the cost of the event, which seemed worth it to keep this as accessible as possible.

Tags under the cut. Let me know if you want to be tagged in this. If you’re not tagged it’s because I didn’t know you were interested. (Or I used an old list and forgot, or I thought you'd asked to not be tagged - correct me if I was wrong!) It's not because we don't want you! Please come.

(Finally, please advise me of any errors or dead links!)

[l-alan-l]

Can’t stop pondering the question if the Captain would listen to Sabaton or not.

Like Heavy Metal ain’t his kind of genre but hear me out!

The lyrics are about World War One and Two and their significant events and the heroic deeds of soldiers, God they even have a song about Bismarck (the ship) and he would totally love songs about all that and his lil autistic ass is definitely the kind of autistic that would listen to loud music to blend out overwhelming noises.
