Chosen lyrics; They are buried without scalp in the shattered bedrock of our home.

The lake had been covered in misty fog, its eerie tendrils dancing just above the surface of the water, if one looked close enough they could see water sprites at work. Humans believed that magic was gone from the world, but if they only looked a little closer they would see that it was still here, barely; like the final embers on a candle wick. 

She lived beneath the surface of a pond, a safe haven under the ever changing waters of the stream that flows into it. It was always quiet in her small pond, the blue gills and catfish her only company. Though she would not say that it was entirely awful, it may be secluded and quiet but it was always safe, and being safe meant staying alive. 

Trees twisted and wrapped their way around one another, strangling one another for a chance at seeing the sun, oh how she longed for the sun’s warmth. The dense dark green thickets surrounding the edge of the lake, pointed thorns dipping into the water, another reminder of the cage she had put herself in. 

She slipped below the surface once more, sinking to the mossy floor, her head resting on a mossy rock, staring up at the underside of the lily pads. She spent the rest of her day hunting catfish and playing with the small water spiders that skimmed across the surface of the water.

She spent her night curled up in a patch of Hydrilla, its green tips making a space in the water. She stared up into the inky expanse and wondered what it was like above the surface. She wondered if perhaps one day, she too could walk amongst them. She had walked on land before, some centuries ago when she was only a girl.

Back when humans knew and respected the creatures that dwell out of sight, the rulers of nature. For a time they had lived in peace, silently walking amongst them, helping when needed, fighting in wars that were not ours, and aiding the sick with cures and magic long forgotten by mankind.

Somewhere along the path, we had become a threat, a danger to humans, they began to push them back into the woods and lakes, away from civilisations. Her mother was forced from her job as a maid in a keep not far from where she dwelled, it was not long after that, they began to cull them. All her family were snuffed out within a night, now all of them laid at the bottom of the God’s Eye.

All except her. 

She shook the thoughts from her head, she couldn’t bear to think about it any more. She reached a webbed hand toward the starry sky, the rippled surface obscuring the true beauty of it. Her arm came to rest by her side, disturbing the sediment as she sighed, an air pocket travelling all the way to the surface.  

Shimmering sunlight awoke her from her slumber, she sat up and stretched her arms and leant forward to stretch her back, the dorsal fin waying with the current. Perhaps today she would sun herself on the boulder in her lake, enjoy the sound of birdsong and they trickling water. The warmth of the flat rock warmed her cold flesh, her tail swishing in the clear water beneath her. 

The sun had just begun to beam down into her pond, refracting different colours like light onto a thousand precious gems. She spent time braiding her hair down the length of her back, small river flowers delicately weaved into it. She hummed the melody of a song her mother used to sing to her when she was young, the same one she would use to lure men to their watery graves. 

The sound of approaching hooves sent her beneath the water again, resurfacing in the safety of the water reeds. Directly across from her was a lithe man knelt by the running water of the stream, drinking handfuls of water. He was marvellous to look at, his deep green clothes and gold trimmed armour and his hair that looked like spun silver fluttering in the gentle wind. 

A familiar primal feeling came over her, it was stronger than she had ever felt before: have him, have him, devour him, feast upon his bones, it chanted. It frightened her, but she followed the feeling, diving below the water once more only to look at him from between the reeds. She could see all the features of his face now, a strong chin and pronounced nose and eyes that glittered like amethysts in the sun. He was handsome, but she could taste the sadness permeating from him, the wish to be anywhere other than where he was, she empathised with him. 

‘Come and find me,’ she whispered, edging him closer and closer to the water ‘Let me free you from your burdens,’ she cooed, watching him fall deeper and deeper under her spell. 

He was within her grasp, she surfaced from beneath the water, scaled chest glimmering in the sunlight, a webbed hand extended for him to take. Their fingers ghosted one another, his hands were soft and warm while hers were cold and slippery, ‘Come to me, my sweet,’ she hummed melodically. She could practically feel her teeth sinking into his flesh, tearing him limb from limb, the thought sent her milky eyes rolling back into her head. 

A woman with long dark hair grasped his shoulder, pulling him from her carefully laid trance, “You mustn’t venture too close to the water, my Prince,” she said firmly. By the time he had flicked his eyes towards the other woman and back to the water, she was gone. 

“Why?” she heard him ask, standing from the waters edge, his eyes hadn’t yet left the spot where he saw her. 

“Dark creatures lurk below the surface of these waters,” the woman replied, though the conversation had become less clear the further they ventured from the water. 

The woman in the water haunted him for days after returning to Harrenhal, the word she spoke to him ringing in his ears, ‘Let me free you from your burdens,’ she had said. She was slowly consuming him, mind, body and soul, and he had no desire to break free from her hold. He would never forget the feeling of being lured by her, both horrifying and euphoric. 

He saw flashes of her everywhere, peeking around corners, the melody of birdsong and in his dark haired lover. He saw her in the pursuit of his own high, chasing her from the recesses of his mind, Alys’ face slowly morphing into the face he saw below the water. Aemond could almost feel her talons ghosting along his skin, leaving rippling heat in its wake.

The feeling of fangs pressing against the column of his throat sent him into a frenzy of thrusts, his large hands guiding the body above him. The melodic song he had heard from her, guiding him like a boat through a tempest, had driven him over the edge. ‘Aemond,’ Alys moaned, though he heard only the melodic voice of the woman in the water. 

He didn’t dare look up at her, instead he slipped from beneath her, choosing to stand at the windowsill, looking over the God’s Eye, wondering about her. Slender fingers and soft lips trailed over his shoulder and down his arm, and yet it did not stoke the fire that burned deep within him as it usually did. 

“It’s her, isn’t it?” Alys asked her nose softly nudging the nape of his neck, her hands never leaving him.

Aemond thought for a moment, “Yes,” he replied, a cold edge to his voice. 

Alys pulled away from him, recoiling from the coldness of the  response “I see,” she said, clearing her throat. “I shall leave you be, my Prince,” she continued, making her way to where her clothes lay. She dressed silently and left through the servants corridor, to remain unseen. 

—

Muffled dragon cries woke her abruptly from her slumber, she broke the surface of the water, a panicked gasp tearing from her as she looked helplessly at the sky. She looked around her, as flickering embers and ash fell from the sky, she couldn’t stay here. Today would be the day where she would face her fears and leave the safety of her pond.

She heaved herself up through the bramble that surrounded her pond, thorns pricking and scratching her tender skin, half blind from the sun. Her legs wobbled as she took a few steps before breaking out into a stumbling run, similar to that of a newborn foal. She cried out in pain as she began to run, nothing good could come from two dragons warring above, she needed to clear out of the pond, she could return when it was safe. 

The pain in her legs and feet was extraordinary, each log she cleared felt as though she was stepping on shards of glass when she landed. It was so loud, the overlapping shouts of soldiers, the clanking of armour and screeching of metal on metal, it was cacophonous; it reeked of self assured destruction. Every bone inside her wanted to turn around and leap back into the safety of her pond, but now wasn’t the time for hiding, it was the time for running. 

She veered deeper into the forest, but something made her stop to look up at the sky, to the dragons wrapping themselves around one another. She turned away once more, determined to find some other body of water to bide her time, when an ear piercing screech sent her to a screeching halt. Her breath heaved in her chest, her lungs working overtime ‘He needs you,’ a pleading voice whispered.

It was enough to send her careening towards the waters of the God’s Eye. 

The larger of the dragons was falling towards the lake, its throat had been ripped open, flames escaping the wound. If its rider was to stand any chance of living she would need to rescue him, humans didn’t live long once they entered her domain. She threw herself head first into its frigid waters, disappearing into its depths untraced. Her eyes only needed a minute to adjust to her surroundings once more, the world around her becoming a little clearer, and it would be any moment before that scaled beast would hit the water.

The crash was unimaginable, sediment and rocks flew past her as she braced herself by a sunken boulder, she could hear the sound of the heart drumming in his chest. It was now a race to find him before The Stranger did, she at the very least could follow his heart beat. She had no idea why she was putting herself in danger for a human who was supposed to be her next meal, she was designed to consume them - not save them. 

She dove deeper and deeper into the lake, the sunlight filtering away, total blackness enveloping her. Though she could not see very well above the water in the sunlight, she could see perfectly in the dark. She did not dare look at the bedrock of the lake, in fear of discovering corpses she did not wish to see. She could see the roiling bubbles ascending to the surface and the immense heat emanating from directly beneath her, she wasted no time in diving again. 

She very quickly discovered the corpse of the beast, resting peacefully in the bedrock, her rider still saddled. She stopped directly in front of him, watching his hands shake as he struggled with the chains. Malicious thoughts slithered into her head; she could feast for ages on both dragon and rider, she would have no need to think about the surface for a long time. It would be so easy, all she had to do was wait for him to drown.

No. He didn’t deserve this, at the very least she could unbind him and send him to the surface, what happened to him beyond that was not her problem. Against her better judgement, she rushed him, shoving his hands away from the ropes around his waist and ripping them away with her nails. He struggled and thrashed in her grip, using all his might to get away from her.

‘Stop struggling! I’m trying to help you!’ She hissed. He ceased his struggling immediately, having become sluggish and slow, the lack of oxygen finally taking its toll on him, leaving him weak and defenceless. Everything in her screamed at her to devour him, to gut him like a fish and swallow him whole.

A helpless groan left her as she threw his arm around her broad shoulders, heaving him up towards the rippling light of the surface. They wouldn’t be looking for his body yet, but she didn’t have long before they would be descending upon them, she’d be damned if she would die for a human. With one final forceful push of her tail, she was able to push his lithe body halfway up on to a secluded bank, her heartbeat thundering in her chest.

He wasn’t breathing. Gods, he wasn’t breathing!

With the last of her strength she threw herself up onto the bank, kneeling beside him; his heartbeat was there, but faint, she needed to work quickly if he was to survive the day. His body felt as though it was made of lead as she dragged him away from the water, the further away they were from the water, the less temptation there was. 

He had taken water into his lungs, which meant she needed to get it out as soon as possible. She opened his mouth, placing her own on his, pulling the water from his lungs mouthful after mouthful, spitting it onto the lush grass. He had other wounds, cuts and scrapes but it was nothing she couldn’t use her magic to heal. With a final mouthful of water, air rushed into his lungs, sending him bolt upright coughing and hacking. 

The movement sent her toppling over into the grass, where he descended upon her, blade against her throat. Her slender taloned fingers spread out across his face, daring to take his other eye. 

“I saved your life, and this is how you repay me? By slitting my throat?” she asked, half daring him to do it, maybe then she would get some peace. His face seemed to shift in that moment, furrowed brows relaxed his clenched jaw loosening. 

“You are right, I am sorry,” He replied, taking the blade from her throat.

The woman in front of him was full of contradictions, she was both dark and light, sharp edges and softness, terrifying and beautiful. She had almost lured him to his death one day and then saved him the very next. She held no fear in her eyes, even as he had held the blade to her throat, her beautiful, supple throat, he shook the thoughts from his head. 

“Stop looking at me like you wish to swallow me whole, and let me heal you,” she bit at him, a gentle push sending him into the plush grass. She struggled with taking his chest plate, the leather straps far too finicky for her liking she took a sharp talon to the supple leather, slicing into it. 

“No, leave me here,” he told her, trying to force her hands away. 

“You will die if I don’t tend to your wounds!” she said through gritted teeth, pulling the chest plate away and straddling him, pinning his arms underneath her legs. Her hand hovered over the gaping wound in his shoulder, a calming blue light emanating from her palm. She watched the wound pull the deep red ichor back into his body, skin stitching itself shut, leaving no trace that there was ever a wound there. 

I’d like to see his witch heal him in such a manner. 

—

They took shelter in a cave deep in the woods outside Harrenhal, out of the sight of prying eyes and away from hands that would do them harm. In the time they had spent in the cave, she had learnt that the Prince's name was Aemond and that he was not one for conversation. 

“I wish I could leave all of this behind,” Aemond whispered, his voice laced with pain and exhaustion. She sat cross legged across from him, a pleasant prickling feeling crawling up her legs from sitting in one place. 

She tilted her head to the side slightly “Why can’t you?” she asked, her brows furrowed.

“I have a duty to my family, it's a matter of honour,” was the silver haired Prince's response, his jaw twitching as his arms came to rest across his broad chest. The dim embers illuminating the way his lip twitched upward as she leant forward, to press him further.

“Your family would rather send you to die than allow you to leave?” She responded, her voice laced with disbelief, she shook her head. It slowly became clear to her about what happened just hours ago, when he demanded she leave him to die. He had wanted that fate, he would have preferred death to failure. 

Aemond pinched the bridge of his nose, his voice taking on an edge “It is about honour, as I said,” his response did not invite any further conversation between them. And for a while there was nothing but the crackle of logs on a fire and the sound of their breaths. 

“Run away with me, it's not safe for either of us here. We can board a ship tonight and be gone by morning,” she offered, they could board a ship for Essos or Yi-Ti and never be found again. She would forsake the waters of her home for him, if it meant that he could live the life he desired. 

“No,” was Aemond's immediate response, face contorting into a scowl. She was beginning to break down the barrier of duty and honour he had surrounded himself with, for without those virtues, what would he become? 

She stood from her perch on a boulder, allowing the silk shoulder cape Aemond had given her to cover herself to slip away. Exposing the mounds and valleys of her body, the scales on her legs and cheekbones catching the firelight. “Come, My Darling. Please just give me your hand,” she cooed into his ear, running her delicate fingers over his shoulder and up the column of his throat, stopping to stroke his jaw. 

And so he did.

ever think abt lullabies . heat exhuastion rn cant articulate. may wouldve sang jay lullabies. who else jrwi pcs wouldve gotten lullabies do u think. id like 2 think mays one would b the same my mother sang 2 me bc it was abt birds

cayden PLEASE tell me ur inside and cooling off rn or im hitting you with a bus

do you think edyn would sing gil lullabies on the rare occasions they'd get to see each other in the undersea. do you think gill would try to memorize those tunes and hum them to himself when the nights were rough after training all day.

do you think drey had a few shanties he'd always hum to himself that ava and jay picked up on as babies, but they're tunes they hardly remember now? do you think chip ever heard any of those tunes on the black rose? do you think both chip n jay are haunted by the memory of that tune? maybe drey sang it once for them or they heard it in passing and it unlocked memories they hardly even knew they had. do you think ollie parrots them now?

and do you think chip hums his own stupid songs to ollie? do you think ollie mimics jays birdsong-esque voice and gill's rare harmonious tunes that sound like sirens' calls?

and do you think the black rose was a musical ship. do you think that arlin, drey, and finn would often create nonsense tunes together that evolved into their own shanties, and that chip and lizzie would repeat them as well? do you think that, post-black rose, chip ever tried to use the beginning melody of a shanty to get to lizzie whenever she was angry and closed off to him? do you think she'd scoff and get angry cause they weren't those kids anymore?

do you think jay and ava had their own favorite lullabies from their mother? do you think may repeated those lullabies to jay when gil was clinging onto the shreds of life, unsure if he'd make it through til the morning? do you think jay was only reminded of what she'd lost before and what she stood to lose again?

I'm the invisible man who can't stop staring at the mirror

This lyric is so weighty and loaded. No wonder Patrick doesn't actually ask Pete to clarify the lyrics, because all of Pete's lyrics are so densely packed with meaning, "what does this mean?" isn't a question that can be answered. This is, like, yeah, Pete feeling invisible (I wish that I was as invisible as you make me feel) but also being faced with that lack of reflection everywhere he looks, everyone reminding you that they're talking about some version of you, but they can't see you, even though you're standing right there in front of them, but everybody's looking straight through you, and yet you can't stop looking, hoping that at some point you're going to see you looking back at you. You're staring at the mirror, hoping someone sees you -- even if that person is just you, but you don't get yourself, either.

I want to make you as lonely as me

This line is also ambiguous: How lonely is he, really? Especially the 2008 Pete Wentz who wrote this lyric, who was hounded by paparazzi and could never go anywhere. He's got a specific kind of loneliness going. He's lonely while surrounded by other people, because none of the millions of people all around him can actually see who he is. I always think of this song as being set in a club, with drums are four on the floor and it's three drinks too late, I just always envision him in a crowded place, surrounded by people, but none of those people can see him. He's lonely in a crowd. So on the one hand he's super-lonely, and on the other hand he's never alone. And on the third hand (it's a Pete Wentz lyric), it's impossible really to make someone as lonely as you because as soon as you've pulled someone else in you've changed the equation of your loneliness. I'm sure we're meant to think he's going to make "her" as lonely as him by leaving her, but he's the one who's already lonely so it's like she's already left. I don't actually think the song is about a romantic relationship (I seldom think that about Pete lyrics) so much as it's about this codependence of, If I have to sit here lonely, I'm going to make you sit here lonely with me. I will condemn you to this loneliness with me. I will drag you down here with me. This is what I do to people. Even when we're together, we're isolated.

You can get addicted to this now

Ambiguity again: can get addicted to being lonely, or get addicted to never being alone? get addicted to the self-pity of feeling misunderstood and so never make the effort to be understood by anyone because it's easy to wallow? He's made an absolute mess of things, sitting surrounded by people who think they know who he is and none of them ever see him, but you can get addicted to that nonetheless, addicted to having all of those people around, all of those blank mirrors you can't stop staring into. And that now at the end of the line, like: get addicted to this instead of that. That chorus is packed to the gills with stuff.

scars by the crane wives perfectly mirrors the albatrio in such specific ways???

like of course the line “maybe born in a storm beneath an angry sky” is perfect to gillion and the prophecy, but also so is everything else in that verse. the first line, “i’m not the person that i thought i was. i couldn’t tell you where the ache came from” describes his journey on the surface. he went from being the clear champion with an exact destiny to his own person and i don’t know if he could pinpoint the moment his destiny became uncertain. was it the moment he emerged? when he spoke to the tree? when he grew to be friends with oversea creatures?

now, i think the second verse is a little less clear on comparisons HOWEVER i think it could be seen as describing jay. the first line, “all the love, all the kindness, all your best laid plans couldn’t stop me from becoming the way i am” could be seen as a reference to jay’s mother. despite how kind her mother is and the rigid upbringing she was given, that clear path to being a navy soldier, she still became a pirate. her family sinks everything they have into making sure all of their children become incredible navy soldiers, but it still didn’t work. the love and kindness line is a little bit of a stretch when referring to jay’s upbringing but like…. her mother was good?? kind of?? i’m struggling on an exact comparison for the second half of the verse so i am going to move on.

i’m gonna tackle the chorus last cause i think those lines are a mix of things, but verse three is, of course, going to be chip. right of the bat the lines, “i’m not the person that i thought i was. i’m trying to come to terms with what you’ve done” feels like chip’s journey into becoming a better person. he always thought he would just be the bastard, pissing off the people around him, lying to get what he wants, but jay and gill have changed him. overtime he’s slowly become a better and more supportive friend to them in ways i don’t think he fully comprehends. he’s always had the hardest time shaking his old habits and getting over that he’s not just some pirate. in the last lines of the verse “i’m still burning like a tire fire deep down inside. oh i’m burning like a tire fire and i don’t know why” it reminds me of his constant need to find arlin. that fire that was lit in him as a child, that fire that led him to becoming a pirate is still burning, but there’s not a real reason to go search for him now. chip has everything he could need with his current crew, but because of that deal he still feels this constant need to find arlin. and also his fire powers yada yada that’s an obvious comparison.

the chorus!! i’m using the last version cause it’s the longest, the rest are just variations of the same thing and this post is long enough as it is. right off the bat “cause i was born with a whole in my heart” island of desire, chip gets his heart ripped out. all very obvious links. it’s literally the name of the song they sing while they’re there so i don’t think it needs a lot more explanation. the rest of the chorus, “yeah we were fucked from the start. tell me it’s inevitable that i’d end up with scars from falling down, down. we were always meant to fall apart.” makes me think of them jumping down into the black whirlpool. kinda of an echo of the black rose pirates. the scars line could also be the marks on drey and finn’s backs.

but it could mean nothing who knows.

At the mercy of his wife's doting care and affection, he begins to wonder if his relationship with his wife, like his body, is doomed by frailty.

And one Not Safe For Tumblr fic by Thefallen1986.

[ashmp3]

5, 6, 17, 23, 26 but i wanna know all about everything actually so if you get multiples and want to switch any of these for a different one ofc feel free (except for 17 that one has to stay put bc i need to hear about giulietta karaoke)❣️

heheheh well the coffee date deal is on & today is new moon so lets manifest mwah mwah!!! and surprisingly i didnt get those so no duplicates lets enjoy 💋♥️ 5. Song that needs to be played LOUD... okay first song that came on my mind was.... glad you came by the wanted but let me explain let me explain okay... You know how they repeat the word from the line before (turn the light out now / NOW ill take u by the hand / HAND you another drink / DRINK it if u can / CAN u spend a little time / TIME is slipping away / AWAY from us so stay / STAY with me so i can make / MAKE U GLAD YOU CAMEEEE) well.. i simply think i need to play it loud and say the words OBNOXIOUSLY clear and LOUD. which is a prompt. 6. Song that makes you want to dance... Oh im a dancer at heart im like an annoying male peacock of some sorts. Lately my before shower dance playlist consists of s&m - rihanna, put my hands on you - dean and una noche en medellin - cris mj. But i really am easy everything makes me dance i did zumba it is what it is. BUT i gotta say like maya berović and buba and jala era reminds me of turning 18 and dancing until my feet were numb. i was KNOWN as the girl that loves to dance and i rmr at one of those bday parties the DJ from the booth saw me from the top and asked the birthday girl for my number KJVDFSNVKS like im not joking i was crazy back then but still a nun. Duality... YAWN.

17. Song WE would sing as a duet on karaoke... in giulietta naturally of course. I mean ana you were good and serious about it but me i am a jester and how can i NOT say ljubav by devito and nikolija? how can i NOT say loš sam ti ja, like we are not singing about lino and jeonghan? I think we could sing a plethora of songs like we could do kao kokain too. Just two guys...... Chilling...... 23. Song that you think everybody should listen to... I dont know why but first person that came on my mind was amira medunjanin. My favorite forever and always is što te nema. I think her voice could bring people to life so I am blasting it through my huge imaginary megaphone 26. Song that makes you want to fall in love... I have few. I always said that her - majid jordan is MY love song even though the lyrics a bit HEH but i love love the start i got her in the palm of my hand, she knows i love her. Movement - hozier (when you move im moved... Killing myself). Gills - thornapple. TO YOU - seventeen... oh so so many truly! s&m by riha-

HAUNNTT HI

I - Has tumblr caused you to stop liking any fandoms, if so, which and why

not really? for the most part its just made me get deeper into fandom lol. like ive started reading botw fics bc of the tumblr fandom and its been very fun

O - Choose a song at random, which ship or character does it remind you of

ooo i shuffled my liked songs and got the song "after the war" by reinaeiry and. :( it reminds me of lizzie and ayva if they had gotten the chance to be together without any pirate or navy bullshit . oughhh now im sad :( they are so tragic like waghhhh i know u dont know them but. shaking my lil gremlin hands at you they were so in love and ayva just haunts riptide's story sm i love them... daily propaganda go watch jrwi riptide for tragic lesbians..... :(

on the other hand it could totally be about albatrio or polypirates. wagh.

oh and speaking of lizzie/ayva cafe 1930 is a them song. it has no words but. them.

S - Show us an example of your personal headcanon (prompts optional but encouraged)

RANDOM HEADCANON TIMES jay was taught the flute & violin as a kid and while she can play them super good she prefers playing random chords on the ukulele that sound good together :]

gillion he/she and neos pronoun user i will die on this hill sorry . speaking of this genderfluid chip & trans girl jay always. and butch edyn

chip loves singing he sings so much random words while he's doing chores and singing sea shanties arlin taught him or singing ollie to sleep. jay teases him endlessly about the lullabies he sings to ollie

animal lover jay is canon but. she loves animals so much. just adores them so much she will pet any animal that comes up to her she doesn't care about rabies. she's tried to make them get a pet other than pretzel so many times. im sooooo tempted to write a fic where jay smuggles a cat on board and yes it will be navyseal

jay loves sketching like mundane scenes in her life rlly colorfully and dramatic and with a lot of meaning behind it. like u know that one drawing that's like "i realized something about human connection but im too drunk to write it so i drew it" ??? thats how she draws. she dips her toes in landscapes :)

gill loves drawing ppl. his family, his sister, random ppl on the street, etc etc !!! he has gotten really good since when he first started but he goes through random bouts of self doubt where he refuses to draw

chip doodles random shit really and he does it on EVERY piece of paper he can find the corners of their map is covered in tiny doodles. these include angry doodles of niklaus looking very mischievous and pretzel with a big knife.

[romy-rubenstein]

( HANNAH MARKS, CIS WOMAN, SHE/HER ) — Look who it is! If you take a look at our database, you’ll find that ROMY RUBENSTEIN is a TWENTY SIX year old GRIFTER that has been in Chicago for EIGHT YEARS. According to government files, they’re a MUTANT on LEVEL THREE with the powers of RUSALKA PHYSIOLOGY. That must be why they’re DEVOTED and VENGEFUL. If you ask me, they remind me of THE CREAK OF DAMP WOOD EXPANDING, THE CLAMMY TOUCH OF SEAWEED ENTWINING YOUR WRIST, AND THE ELEGIAC FALL OF MARINE SNOW IN THE MUFFLED DISTANCE. They are affiliated with THE CULT OF THE BLESSED.

QUICK FACTS

full name: romy bina rubenstein

age: twenty six

gender: cis woman

personality: obsessive, selfish, judgemental, loyal

height: 5′3

star sign: tbd

fc: hannah marks

mutation info: READ HERE

FULL BIO

Born to wealthy parents. Had everything except their attention as they spent most of the time travelling, leaving Romy at home with an au pair and her siblings. Consquently, she acted out a lot to try and get mom and dad’s notice.

After going to study at University of Chicago (which she is pretty sure she could have gotten into unaided, but her parents hefty donation probably didn’t hurt), she spun further out of control with no supervision. This culminated in her stealing a yacht, and crashing it.

Romy drowned, as did her friends on the yacht with her. This was the moment that catalysed her mutation: she regained consciousness, able to breathe underwater. Managed to drag one of her friends from the wreck, narrowly saving their life.

Never dried off! She is now perpetually dripping water (which can fortify plantlife and control people a la a siren song), has long gills on her neck that open up when underwater, sharp teeth, and webbed fingers and toes.

Her surviving friend was disturbed by the changes, and also unable to forgive her. Though she’d saved their life, that wouldn’t have been necessary if Romy hadn’t crashed the yacht in the first place. So, they left her. And her parents didn’t want much to do with her either: Romy was perpetually dripping all over their nice house and it was a threat to the decor.

They bought her a houseboat to which she has been  banished, and now Romy spends her time on the Chicago River. The houseboat is overflowing with plants, which Romy likes more than she likes most people.

The mutation came with an unfortunate proclivity for drowning people. One night, she tried to drown a certain Santiago Quijada. The attempt was unsuccessful, but he liked her attitude and her abilities.

This is how Romy got the job as his right hand man (this is how SHE thinks of it, regardless of how he might describe their relationship), using her persuasive powers to lure people into the cult.

Kind of obsessed with Santi. Not sexually because she’s a lesbian, but just in general, and gets weird and jealous about him. The vibe: cat rolling about in the sun displaying belly; she needs him to acknowledge how cute the belly is but if he touches, she will spring shut claws OUT

‘i’m his silly little rabbit...’ ‘his what?’ ‘his silly little rabbit’ ‘does he call you that?’ ‘no :)’

QUICK FACTS

Never finished her degree (causing a yacht wreck ending the lives of several students will do that to you). But she was studying biology before, because she always liked plants even before she got power over them. And we love women in STEM!

When drowning people, she does crocodile-esque death rolls. She doesn’t have to! She just thinks that’s more fun (and she’s right)

Misandrist :/ sorry. Kind of hates men on sight, but will play nice and be friendly or flirty if she thinks it will help her lure them into the water.

Strained relationship with her parents. They never had much time for her, and even less so now she’s a soggy bog bitch. Has an older sister and a younger brother who she gets on a bit better with, but Romy is definitely the black sheep of the family. She’ll take their money though <3

Jewish, and mostly keeps kosher. She is the reason you see rabbis on tiktok answering questions like ‘is it possible for human meat to be kosher?’ (it’s not possible. disappointed rusalka noises).

REVIEW: STARS ON ICE AT ROGERS ARENA - MAY 18, 2023

Of the four cast numbers, my favourite was the sentimental “To Build a Home” that preceded intermission. It really solidified Browning’s role as a guide and respected leader in the sport as he individually embraced each skater/pair at song’s end. The pairs and ice dancers had a brief spotlight, and the number felt warm and nuanced. 

It was Madeline Schizas’ first full tour, and I enjoyed her skates to “Don’t Rain on My Parade” and “Everybody Wants to be a Cat.” I really think Stars On Ice has been beneficial for Schizas to work on her expression in a low stress environment. It was nice to see her embrace her playful side (cat ears and all!). She also has some very impressive spins! Patrick Chan was a crowd favourite, having called Vancouver home for the past six years. In his tour return for the first time in four years, he didn’t show much rust to “Wicked Game” and “I Hear a Symphony.” He’s such a staple in Canadian figure skating, and the ‘Pchiddy’ appreciation was evident in the room. 

Keegan Messing performed a redux of this season’s short program to “Grace Kelly” and a skate to Tophouse’s “The Mountain Song.” His quick footwork and spins were in full force, as was his unwavering warm spirit. I will miss Messing on the national team, and hope he continues to do ice shows while spending time with his beautiful family, who figure skating fans have grown to know from afar. 

World Bronze medalists Piper Gilles & Paul Poirier were sensational in their “Evita” and “Annie’s Song/Thank God I’m a Country Boy” routines. I’d watched them many times on television from this season, but nothing compares to the live event. They were fighters this season, notably Gilles after a surgery to remove a cancerous tumour in the winter. Their poise and ability to transform into character is something I always admire, which extends into their “Evita” bows towards the audience. 

Alexa Knierim & Brandon Frazier are coming off their best season yet. Their throw jumps and height on the triple twist are outstanding! They performed their exhibition routine to “Shallow” and short program “Separate Ways (Worlds Apart).” Their steady and sure demeanor was on display, and I was happy to see them skate in-person. One of my favourite skates of the night was Alissa Czisny’s “Chasing Cars.” It was proof that you don’t need jumps to make a program special. She used the song (version by Tommee Profitt and Fleurie) to emote through movement, graceful skating and spins that spanned the ice. The cover song had a really cinematic build that Czisny used to her advantage. 

Jason Brown is having the most fun on tour, uncontested. His Backstreet Boys routine was a joy. In an all-white ensemble, Brown even demonstrated ‘the worm’ on the ice, among some impressive jump splits. Even his bows had energy, with waving and jumping abound. In his Act II skate to “The Impossible Dream,” I was reminded of his gorgeous triple jumps, some of, if not the best, on tour. As a side note, I had a brief interaction with Brown as the skaters arrived at the rink, and he could not have been friendlier! 

Satoko Miyahara was a returning cast member from last year. Her elegance and interpretation of the music was stunning to watch. “Jenny of Oldstones” and “Ne me quitte pas” were her programs of choice, and I can confidently say her elegance is missed on the circuit. There’s a confidence and calmness in how she glides on ice, and I hope she’ll continue to be a mainstay in the cast. 

A breakout season for Belgium’s Loena Hendrickx, we were graced with her presence in her debut Canadian tour. As girls behind me whistled and hollered “get it, girl!” Hendrickx skated to Britney Spears’ “Circus” and Loni’s “Loneliness.” She had attitude and was fierce, and it’s easy to see why she will continue to be a top contender next season. Her arms overhead jumps are flawless! Madison Chock & Evan Bates are technically immaculate, if we didn’t know already from their consistently high scores in competition. Their performance is also top notch, and they’re very innovative skaters in their lines and elements. Their skate to “Nightcall” was a highlight (the chemistry!), and I was excited to see #ChockBates in action for the first time! 

Elvis Stojko’s bringing old school rock back. Skating to Shinedown and Van Halen, Stojko looked casual and collected with hands in his pockets, denim and black fingerless gloves. His mature and slightly edgy presence is always popular, drawing favourable cheers from the crowd. Even though he ended his competitive career over twenty years ago, he still has a power in his skating that is magnetic to watch. He joined Browning for an interactive skate as friendly rivals to “Raise a Little Hell,” where they sported matching shirts in admiration of each other. They joked about who was supposed to give the music to production (“on cassette”), did a quick bout of the chicken dance, and still had a raw synchronicity. Truly a memorable duo with heartfelt words of their memories together on tour.  

Kurt Browning received too many (well deserved) standing ovations to count! His animated personality shone and I loved the extra long looks he’d direct at the crowd in his skates. It felt personal. Skating to “Please Forgive Me” and “Who Are You,” his smooth skating ability is unparalleled. Yes, there are still jumps, and a backflip too! His aura is just so pleasant and it felt like a night celebrating Browning, with multiple montages or clips of his past performances played throughout the night. 

I loved the costumes! Between the gold-detailed military inspired fits for The Killers’ “All These Things That I’ve Done,” to the rainbow pop of colour in the closing routine to “Brand New.” And, who could forget the sleek James Bond outfits - black suits and metallic dresses that screamed ‘diamonds are forever.’ They complimented the music well, and many of the skaters brought their pre-loved, familiar outfits from their signature skates this season.  

You can tell the cast enjoyed each other’s company, sharing camaraderie and grace towards the encouraging audience. Browning is leaving behind an unmatched legacy, but Stars On Ice remains in good hands.

What are some songs/lyrics/quotes that remind you or make you think of Noah and Inés?

Thanks for the ask about them, I miss my two boring dorks (I've not forgotten about my TTT rewrite either, but work has been kicking my ass the last year so things are just... slow) 🤍

Anyways, I've actually got whole tumblr posts about which songs/lyrics that remind me of Noah and Inès, as well as a new playlist I'm working on.

Here are ten songs and lyrics I associate with Noah in particular, and here's the same but for Inès.

I'll also always associate this poem by Nikita Gill with them:

We have calcium in our bones, iron in our veins, carbon in our souls, and nitrogen in our brains. 93 percent stardust, with souls made of flames, we are all just stars that have people names.

8. describe your aesthetic now:

“God stood me up and I don’t know why, lights are on but nobody’s home” Lights Are On by Tom Rosenthal (a lot of my aestetic is witchcraft and for a while I felt like my prayers weren’t being answered and I felt like god had abandoned me when I was Catholic, I also have to go to church today lmao)

9. what's a lyric that they'll quote in your euology?

Interesting Friends

Merman Caesar Zeppeli x Prince male reader

Requested by: anonymous

Merman! Caesar brought me here. Let me say your writing is absolutely gorgeous and I love it. I saw that you're asking for requests for our favorite blond so how about a prince/princess/royal reader being friends with merman! Caesar who loves to hang around reader's castle marine pools.

Merman AU

I decided to go with a male reader for a change, for any males who follow this blog and don't get enough content!

Thank you for the kind words! Please enjoy.

The palace that was one day to be [Name]’s was nothing short of luxurious. A palace fit for a future king and ruler of the land, and the young prince ensured that it remained strong as a fortress. His father had always told him the importance of appearing strong to everyone, be them ally or enemy, and [Name] took his father’s lessons to heart. 

He did the best he could to fulfil these lessons and become the most suitable successor to the throne he could be. Ensuring that the people of the kingdom were happy and matters involving the common folk were also attended, while others would have called him a soft-hearted brat, he knew that keeping his people happy and healthy meant he would have their support. Though, there was one individual that [Name] had found the most treasured among the people of his kingdom. 

His close friend, Caesar. Since the two were young, they were good friends, despite the difference in species. With Caesar being a creature of the sea, a merman, though his intelligence was equal to those who had found him, washed up and injured. It had taken a bit of time for them to heal the merman, as well as find a way to keep him from dehydrating but they soon were able to set him in the marine pools around the kingdom. [Name], the curious teenager he was, had snuck in a few times to speak to the merman, amazed and in awe at his presence. 

Caesar, who was equally curious of the [Hair colour] young prince, did not shy away from him, leading to the pair talking and growing close. [Name] would come by late at night when everyone was asleep, sneaking snacks and other things in the room where Caesar was held, showing him things of the surface he would never have seen before. 

“-And that is how we have our herds of animals kept in check.” [Name] finished, giving Caesar a quick explanation of how the animal herds were monitored and protected in the kingdom, as Caesar had asked about the food he had been eating. The blonde merman trilled softly at this, a form of response similar to a human humming or a cat purring, 

“Interesting. Humans have a great many food types.” He spoke, his glimmering tailfin swaying lazily in the water, occasionally flicking water up to his back and gills along his neck. [Name] smiled as he did, finding it quite cute. 

“We do. I can always arrange for you to try some if you like.” That brought a smile to the blonde’s face, making more joy swell up within [Name]. 

“I would like that, grazie.” Caesar had to admit, before all of this happened, he had little interest in the surface world but now, that was not so much the case anymore. And now, he would dare to say he would call it home now. Or at least a second home, the ocean’s waves will always be his home. 

After he shared some of his meal with Caesar, [Name] also pulled out a book that Caesar seemed to be interested in. Poetry. Caesar told him it was the way the words melted with one another to create a beautiful image and sense that often reminded him of his kin’s songs. The [Hair colour] prince smiled as he sat beside the pool, reading the poems in a soft tone to the merman, finding it adorable how he would softly trill at the poems. Moments like this made the entire day worth enduring. 

[my-faves-said-gay-rights]

my faves said gay rights part 4 - Twice

For pride month this year I thought I would live up to my name and post about all the times my faves supported the lgbtq+ community! It's twices turn, and like I said with bts I won't include examples of them being gay (though there is many) cus that ain't what this is about. Let's rock and roll!

1. Chaeyoung, nayeon, jeongyeon and mina performed gay anthem born this way by lady gaga at twices concert. Chaeyoung was the leader of the unit and chose the song, and nayeon specifically sang the line "No matter gay, straight or bi, Lesbian, transgendered life I’m on the right track, baby, I was born to survive"

2. Chaeyoung saw the lesbian movie Carol and said this

3. Chaeyoung recommended the wlw songs Girl by The Internet and Honey by Kehlani

4. Multiple members have reminded people during shows that love or relationships isn't only between men and women
