rayllum + taylor swift

in honour of both speak now taylor's version and tdp s5 and that cute asf rayllum moment in the trailer, a list of lyrics from 4 speak now songs that match rayllum in my mind:

mine

made for them. the whole song. 'do you remember we were sitting there by the water / you put your arm around me for the first time' midnight oasis from season three. The Scene.

'i was a flight risk with a fear of falling / wondering why we bother with love if it never lasts' rayla. that's all. season four and also poor girl's family situation.

'you made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter' runaan's not really careless but like i'm JUST SAYING

'you are the best thing that's ever been mine' speaks for itself. 'what we had was something special' 'you are the best thing i ever had' RAYLAAAAAA

ok i could do a whole essay on that song by itself but like

go listen it's Them

2. sparks fly

'drop everything now, keep me in the pouring rain / kiss me on the sidewalk, take away my pain' ahem. if this isn't rayla to callum. i don't know what is. he dropped everything to help her return zym to xadia, they had that heartfelt moment in the rain with the lightning strike-

'get me with those green eyes, baby, as the lights go down' self explanatory.

'gimme something that'll haunt me when you're not around' CALLUM. SEASON FOUR. NEED I SAY MORE?

'i'm on my guard with the rest of the world / but with you, i know it's no good' season four. callum asks /rayla/ for help with the whole 'if i'm possessed' thing and rayla lets down her guard to talk to him while he's asleep.

3. long live

'you held your head like a hero / on a history book page' 'it was the end of a decade / but the start of an age' end of season three. the way they hold hands and look so proud and zubeia looks at them like 'god damn how long was i asleep'

'long live the walls we crashed through / all the kingdom lights shine just for me and you' they crashed through the boundaries between humans and elves, katolis and xadia, and duren and katolis came through for them in the s3 battle.

'long live all the mountains we moved / i had the time of my life fighting dragons with you' not dragons, but like, they definitely had a very amazing journey and rAYLA SAYS HE WAS THE BEST THING IN HER LIFE OKAY I'M NOT OVER IT

'bring on all the pretenders, one day / we will be remembered' them against the world... they'll be remembered as the human mage and the last dragonguard... my heart...

4. back to december

or, rayla @ callum after season 4 i'm right and you know it. i don't even need to explain these lyrics.

'so this is me swallowing my pride / standing in front of you saying i'm sorry for that night' episode two.

'it turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you / wishing i'd realised what i had when you were mine'

'when your birthday passed and i didn't call' (eyes callum)

okay this one just makes me sad

i couldn't think of a 5th... if you can add it. pls. look i was listening to speak now taylor's version over and over again and then i realised it was Them

I thought Will would like messing with louise sometimes. Louise doesnt seem to like his sense of humor, though.

(Characters are will and louise from @peachnewt 's story, getting in deep !!)

what if i told you hiram lodge was a redditor?

i think he's catfishing and suicide-baiting posters on niche kink subreddits at this very moment

[duchessofostergotlands]

Never related to anything more than the scenes in Ghosts where Thomas reveals he's Scottish and is mortally offended people didn't know, even though he’s spent the last four and a half seasons talking in a posh English accent.

The Dream (The Angel's Kiss)

Based on the sculpture by Auguste Rodin (1905)

(Censored just in case even though it's nothing explicit, uncensored under the cut)

"I remember you, something about you... coming to me, and sinking into me, and giving me breath again. . ."

so long and good night 🫡

ruminating on 'the vees died despondent nobodies' thoughts

velvette interrogates vox after she hears him give various conflicting and bombastic accounts on air. a selection of these include: blew his brains out on live television, administered the death penalty for killing his "bitch wife," a tragic accident involving two shetland ponies, dubiously legal iranian yogurts, and a whole lot of cocaine. the actual cause was shockingly ordinary- a heart attack in front of the television, alone, his corpse only recovered after two weeks passed. he was watching a game show and his last mortal regret was never even learning who won, because he died during the commercials.

last week I was swimming in the adriatic sea thinking about devil's minion and then telling myself how pathetic I am for thinking about devil's minion when literally this is my view

today i watched the first episode of hotel portofino and was like heyyyyy the setting looks really familiar, turns out it was filmed in croatia, so assad zaman may have also been swimming in the adriatic sea thinking about devil's minion and that makes me feel a little better 🖤

the other half to my “Piper has sectoral heterochromia” headcanon is that she also has hazel eyes alongside the heterochromia and the Argo 2 crew just also doesn’t know how hazel eyes work, because they’re teenagers and its funny and makes sense for them to be A Little Dumb about some things. And hazel eyes tend to confuse people anyways. They just think she has like. Special Eyes™ or something. They think her eyes change color cause they don’t know that hazel eyes just look different depending on the light. And also Percy’s eyes do change color so they figure if one person on the ship already has color-changing eyes then Piper can too.

finally finished all of one character's entire quests/optional dialogue/questions/etc.... 100,000 words... .... aughhh

obligatory sentence before the read more because tumblr refuses to register a read more on mobile without a sentence before it

something I really really really really want is to meet someone who shares my music taste. if not in its entirety, than at least in its majority. I feel like I know a lot of people to whom music is enjoyable, but not a lot of people to whom music is like... a life-sustaining thing. for example, my local bestie thinks music is alright, but she's more of a podcast person and really only listens to music that's popular now. WHICH IS FINE! like I love pop music, I do not begrudge her for being into what's current!!!! she invited me to see both hozier and noah kahan, neither of whose discography I'm overly familiar with, but I love a good concert and knew they'd deliver! of course then she got pregnant and no longer wanted to go, so rip those concert plans, maybe that would have turned me into the biggest noah kahan fan of all time lol.

anyways she is only an occasional music listener, whereas I listen to music every day, I derive enormous amounts of serotonin from music, I really really really love music and I really love MY music more than most things. I feel like if I found someone who liked all the same music I liked, I'd fall in love with them on the spot ahahaha.

like I don't know a single person who I'd take to every concert I go to. I might consider my youngest sister, as she probably can hang with the heavier rock I listen to (and my middle sister really enjoyed the rock concert we went to in the spring together). but it's like... I dunno. Music is so important to me. It's everything to me. And I feel like there would be a certain ecstacy to connect to someone and realize they get the same music I get.

this might be a really niche crossover, but hear me out: spies are forever buffy the vampire slayer au.

tatiana is the slayer. the woman burdened with the task of keeping the world safe from vampires and demons.

curt is her loyal sidekick + best friend. he's the goofy comic relief, but he can still hold his own in a fight

owen is a ghost story -- for generations slayers and watchers have sought to track down the mysterious "deadliest man (not) alive" responsible for thousands of brutal deaths across multiple centuries.

at the same time as tatiana tracks the vampire from myth down, curt is falling in love with a quirky british man he keeps happening to run into. owen is playing two different personas, culminating in a showdown where curt and tatiana realize they've been talking to the same person, and curt must choose between his best friend and the man he's fallen in love with.

Miles Vorkosigan is exactly Caleb Widogast's type (hyper-intelligent, driven, personality is five fronts in a trenchcoat, could murder him). Caleb isn't quite Miles's type (tall, competent: yes. brunette, woman: no), but he would fit in great with Miles's string of lovers, eg "when I met him he was a homeless vagrant and when I left him he was chief of research ethics at imp mil", etc. In this essay I will....

A nice way you can involve others in the joy of transition is to ask them to help you choose a middle name, I think.

My best friend chose my middle name, and that is honestly something I really cherish as an adult. She supported me before everybody else did, and it honestly helped save me. I think it's a great way to memorialize others, even if you grow apart.
