中文歌词/Chinese Lyrics

written by me and slightly changed by @/lightworknoreaction

呐呐爸爸、请帮帮我

呐呐妈妈、呐呐妈妈

以前经历过的事

我似乎总是忘记它们呢……

画个圆圆的地球 画个圆圆的地球

画个圆圆的地球 我是波兰呢…

艰难的地球、不死的地球

因国家的贪婪而受苦的地球 我是波兰呢

（请不要欺负我啊……）

啊啊 我脑海幻想里的美好世界

与现实截然不同

“如果我总是要和我的国家一起沉沦，那么也许我应该变得更强大……但什么时候才会发生呢？”

“我听说俄罗斯对立陶宛很严厉的……他会没事吧，对吧？对吧…？”

可悲的不朽者，燃尽的火凤凰

论被多次分割，我也被迫复活

无尽的艰苦生活 因为我是波/兰呢……

（请结束我的痛苦吧……）

看到镜子里的自己时，我忍不住感到内疚

自己正在慢慢地腐烂

这是一场无尽的悲剧！

直到找到了我渴望的人，我心中非常重要的人

在最艰难的时候在一起度过的人

我的立陶宛！

（不不不，请不要离开我……）

呐呐立陶、能帮帮我吗？

呐呐立陶、呐呐立陶

我和你在一起的回忆

是我拥有最珍贵的宝藏

我永远不会忘记它们，永远不会！

（我希望我永远不会忘记它们，）

就像一个奇迹！

（但我回来的时候它们似乎总是溜走）

（凯斯图蒂斯：我们待在一起吧，切斯瓦夫。）

（切斯瓦夫：欸、真的吗…？）

（凯斯图蒂斯：没有你，我身无可处。）

（切斯瓦夫：你、你那么看重我？！）

[间奏]

画一个圆圈 立陶我的亲友

一个最重要的、最亲爱的朋友

我唯一一个、无可替代的……

即使无法见面 友谊也不会断裂

啊啊 如此美好的世界 愿望成真了

听着、立陶宛感谢你多年以来的付出…！

English Lyrics:

(translated, might not be accurate)

Hey hey Tato, please help me out

Hey hey Mamo, hey hey Mamo

The things I experienced before

I always seem to forget about them... 

Powerless struggles, that's the earth

Countless deaths, that's the earth

Hopeless prayings, that's the earth

'Cuz i am the Poland...! 

The "weakest" one, the so called "immortal"

The one that suffers because of other countries' greed

'Cuz I am Poland... 

("Ah! I'm sorry I'm sorry-") 

Ah, such splendid world in my mind

It's completely different from the reality

The only thing on my mind 

It's all only about Kęst... 

("If I always have to go down with my country, then maybe I should be stronger.. but when will that happen?")

("I heard that Russia is very strict to Lithuania... He's fine, right? Right..?") 

Beg for repentance, that's the earth

Recycle of life, that's the earth

All for nothing, that's the earth

'Cuz I am the Poland...! 

The pathetic immortal, the burnt-out phoenix

Being partitioned at manys, I'm forced to revive

The never-ending hard life

'Cuz I am Poland... 

("Please end my suffering from this...") 

When I see myself in the mirror,

I can't help but to feel guilty

I can feel myself rotting by the minute

It's an endless tragedy! 

Until i found the one I've longed for,

a very important person in my heart 

The person I've been with, during the hardest times

My Lithuania! 

("Nonono- please don't leave me...") 

Hey hey Litwa, would you help me with this? 

Hey hey Litwa, hey hey Litwa

The memories i had with you

The most precious treasure I've ever had

I promise I'll never forget them, never! 

(I wish I could never forget them,)

It's like a miracle!

(Honestly, they always seem to slip when I'm back.) 

(Kęstutis: Let's stay together, Czesław)

(Czesław: Really?)

(Kęstutis: I don't know where I'd be without you.)

(Czesław: Y-you think of me that highly?!)

Draw a circle, dear friend

Litwa my dearest friend

An important, dearest friend

My one and only, Irreplaceable...  

We've went through multiple wars,

It's an agonizing memory 

Even when we can't see each other,

Our strong bond won't break 

Ah, such splendid world 

the wishes had come true,

Hey hey listen, Lithuania 

Thanks for your hardwork all these years!

Buck/Eddie ║ Currently 60K+ words ║ Rated: M Hockey AU meets Tattoo Shop AU

When “Stark’s Ink Parlor” owner Evan “Buck” Buckley first moved to Los Angeles several years ago, he brought with him a singular ambition—to establish his own unique tattoo parlor in a city already teeming with such establishments. Despite the fierce competition, Buck’s artistry swiftly gained traction, thanks in part to the glowing endorsements of his satisfied clientele. He skillfully manages the ins and outs of his thriving tattoo business while also devoting his time to supporting his sister Maddie by assisting her flower shop and at her booth on Saturdays at the bustling local farmer’s market.  One day, Eddie Diaz, a defenseman for the Los Angeles Kings hockey team, unexpectedly strolls into Buck’s tattoo parlor. Little did Buck realize that this fateful meeting would significantly alter the course of both their lives. ▬ [[ Chapters 1 through 14 currently on AO3 ]]

cw: harry potter, jk rowling, transphobia

I occasionally see posts/get messages about the various harry potter references in the bright sessions, etc. and I've gotten a bunch of new followers recently so just so any new/younger listeners of my shows know:

jk rowling is a terrible transphobe whom I hold zero respect for and I haven't given a dime of my money to her since she revealed who she truly is. I want the whole bright universe to be a safe space for trans people (including the trans folks in our cast and crew!) and if I could go back and remove those references, I would. but I can't! harry potter was an extremely significant part of my life until...well, until it became very clear who she really was. it makes me so sad to think that folks might be finding TBS now and get thrown out of the story by these references, but just know that the people who made the show do not stand by jk, and that in many ways, the show is a product of its time.

guys if the next n25 event is kanade5 and kanade helps mizuki in a way no one else could because kanade is what brought n25 together in the first place and gives mizuki strength to face her fears can you all go "alma you're so smart" and "alma we love you and your infinite wisdom" and "alma i'm going to draw kanamizu for you"

alright that last post had me thinking. i understand a ton of people wish penelope and colin got more screen time directly. believe me, i get that! i am always the first to say we should have gotten ten episodes, not eight, just to let the other plots and especially scenes with colin and penelope breathe a little more. but. i keep hearing a lot about how some of the other plots were "completely unnecessary" and "didn't add any value" and that's just plain incorrect. i think a lot of people who i see saying this just sort of... don't understand? narrative foils?

for those uninitiated, a foil is "a literary device that compares and contrasts one character with another to reveal their traits, values or motivations of one character through the comparison and contrast of another character." think of this like a mirror, or a photo negative.

if you are looking for foils of only penelope and colin, we've got plenty, though many other characters foil each other, too. this is bound to happen naturally in a show with so many characters, but for this post i'll focus on them first and foremost: - the mondriches: many wondered what the point of the mondriches plotline was, and though i simply enjoy having them on my screen, (they are incredibly cute together) their narrative purpose is very clear. their son is now a baron, and they must navigate the world as not someone with title, but as the mother and father of a titled lord. penelope and colin, we learn by the end of the season, also have a son, who will be the new baron featherington. it is the very same solicitor that delivers the news to alice and will, who threatens to take away the chance at keeping the estate from the featheringtons. the titled son plotline was clear from the beginning, though it was a "mystery" which sister would turn out to be the mother of the new lord featherington. (mystery is in quotation marks since i doubt anyone actually believed that it wouldn't be penelope). either way, they are foils to another family, and other main characters.

still, they are not finished in their role, as they also serve to illustrate the struggle of working members of the ton, and the argument to give up a business you love in order to remain in good standing. in this, will is penelope's foil, and alice is colin's. though i love both alice and colin, they initially do not understand what it means to give up something you have worked unbelievably hard for, and see their partners giving up their businesses as the easy, clear choice. alice contrasts colin by winning her argument, and convincing will to let go of his bar. will contrasts penelope in the same way, by letting go of something that was important to him in order to make room for other ventures. while will and alice come to a compromise that prioritizes alice's desires (hosting balls to entertain rather than keeping the bar) penelope and colin come to a compromise that prioritizes penelope's desires (revealing her identity as whistledown and getting permission from the queen to continue writing). yet, both pairs have made the choices that are right for them, and both feel satisfied by the compromises.

and the last note on the mondriches' purpose: they show us what is expected of families of the ton, to inform penelope and colin's arguments later in the show. we are shown alice and will being given separate bedrooms, as many of the other families have been shown to have, though it hasn't been quite as clearly remarked upon until now. in their plotline, it is quite a big deal that they are expected to sleep separately, as they haven't before, and do not wish to now. they ultimately decide that they will share alice's designated room — and later, we see that after they argue, it is likely penelope's room that colin is sleeping in front of, rather than going to (presumably) his own. now, it is unclear whether this was simply a set limitation or not, as we never see an interior of colin's bedroom, but it's likely that he had long since decided they'd be sharing penelope's, as that is the room he chooses to introduce to her in the mirror scene, and the sitting area of that room is where he places his desk, whereas hers is inside the bedroom proper. (we only see this and their drawing room, but i don't doubt that the house is larger than was shown, given the size of both those rooms and the hallways that connect them.) - violet, agatha, and marcus: let's see, a brother and a sister, where the sister's best friend wants to be romantically involved with the brother, and all three of them are being weird about it. now where have i heard that one before? in these moments, agatha is a foil to eloise, marcus to colin, and violet to penelope. through them, we can extrapolate ways eloise may be feeling about penelope and colin's relationship, as violet and agatha talk it out, whereas eliose scampers off to scotland quite quickly. the contrast here is that violet and marcus are very timid and reserved in their relationship until they obtain the 'blessing' of agatha to pursue it, whereas penelope and colin dive headfirst into marriage before eloise and penelope reconcile their damaged friendship. however strangely, though, the foils here seem to swap characters often: marcus also mirrors penelope, as it is him who wronged agatha, not violet. another comparison within these three are violet and agatha mirroring penelope and colin, as violet has to outright state to agatha: "i hope you know that my care for you is not contingent on your aid. i am here for you, agatha, always." which shares a sentiment with what penelope states to colin later: "it is not what you do for me that makes me love you. [...] just being you is enough, colin. i do not need you to save me, i just need you to stand by me." agatha and colin, here, both assume their value lies in what they can do for others, rather than simply being themselves with those closest to them. - benedict, tilley, and paul: what, do you not want to see benedict kiss a guy? the fuck?

O'Knutzy Week Day 3

Hoorayyyyy, we've gotten to day 3 of this absolutely awesome O'Knutzy week filled with barrel loads of glorious content! (This post was written in June and was scheduled, just btw)

Credits to @lumosinlove for creating this story and character, and to @oknutzy-week-2024 for organizing this all!

This is a fic based on the racing prompt, and also has two parts, the other officially coming out tomorrow. No Leo, only Harvard era finlo + background characters.

Summary: When the Harvard Hockey team goes car racing on an old dirt track, Logan ends up riding passenger to Finn, and then makes some heartbreaking decisions.

Characters: Logan Tremblay, Finn O'Hara, Percy Lastname, Cole Lastname, and a few OCs I threw in there just to say a few lines and have a Leo reference

Warnings: Cursing, mentions of recent injury, bucket loads of "FUCKING GET TOGETHER ALREADY" and they don't

Word Count: 2,154 (Preview of 371 under cut)

It started with a one off question: “Hey, have you guys ever been racing?” It was what Percy had asked OKN while they were crowded together in the small living room watching Fast and Furious. Now the entire Harvard hockey team was crowded around a renting booth for the nearest race track they could find. It was a dirt track, and dirt cheap too, so long as you had a car. Currently, Logan was staring at Finn, leaning against the chain link fence around the track and talking to Will and Percy about something or the other, probably what they were going to do for the upcoming summer. The late afternoon sunlight hit Finn, backlighting him and making him glow like a god. Logan on the other hand, was standing with some of the other guys a little further back and away from the fence. He was also completely checked out of whatever conversation they were having. That was until a hand was waved repeatedly over his eyes and Cole beside him said, “Yo, Logan! Earth to Logan!” “Quoi?” Logan questioned, eyes snapping away from Finn and meeting Cole’s, “What’d you need?” “Just wondering if you wanted to drive first or not,” Cole said, pointing towards the cars lined up on the track. Logan remembered someone noting that they only had about 12 cars between the twenty guys that ended up going. “Oh,” Logan laughed, hands reaching up to fiddle with his hat, “I-” “He can’t drive!” A voice chirped from the fence. Logan turned his head up to see Finn walking towards them. A warm, late spring breeze tossed Finn’s hair into his face, and he pushed it away quickly, shooting Logan a deadly smile. Deadly not because it was sinister, but because it was fucking gorgeous. Because it flipped Logan’s stomach into a million knots. “Why’d you come then, man?” Nolan Ari, a freshman winger, asked, sidling to the side to make room for Finn in the circle. “Figured I’d fuck around here instead of being lonely at OKN,” Logan replied, shrugging. “Hey,” Finn remarked, “don’t worry about Ten here, NOLA. He’s riding with me anyway.” He’d said it so casually, as if it didn’t make Logan’s heart stop.

[starkravinghazelnoots]

guess who started writing pt. 4 of complicated!!!

[lady-forest-1142]

is it literally the worst idea imaginable to develop a crush on the boy who lives literally two doors down from you halfway through fall semester? yeah. but like. you’re only young once or whatever

[themarionette-theporcelaindoll]

They really should have given Benedict a little boyfriend this season

[carlos-tk]

i have a wip idea that i’ve been thinking about for 3 days straight and i know!!! i’m going to actually have to lock in to ever actually get it written. but gee it’s making me giddy!!

[1eos]

Re relatableness in yellowface; perfect victim syndrome has turned everyones brains to sludge. Every person has to be a saint or a martyr we can cry for so the crime can be portrayed as Evil....buddy she stole a womans life work and race faked her way to prestige. Then stole from her STUDENTS. Athena sounds unpleasent sure but like....she didnt deserve that? And does that Justify what june did? Tell me its okay just because Athena was an asshole. Tell me. To my Face. The fear of accepting that people who are abused/victims of racism are complex humans and not concepts to make an insta caption about is strangling society as a whole.

YOU BETTER SPEAK!!!!! and it adds to the meta narrative bc yellowface knows how ppl are abt ~perfect victims~ and you're meant to be horrified that the general public will try to turn on a writer and say oh idc she got plagiarized bc she was 'problematic'. but readers IN REAL LIFE have the same fucked up standards and suddenly do not care abt athena or her work being turned into a fucking white savior novel AFTER SHE DIED. and reading reviews ppl were trying to imply r f kuang was shitting on her critics but 1. it's not shitting on critics if that's just literally how ppl are 2. the author is right self insert or not if you're not the perfect victim ESP as a woc you can be brutally murdered and ppl will be like um um but she wasn't innocent and recall you being a bit of an asshole 12 years ago likeeeee ok and Athena isn't even close to being as bad as the mofos we got irl 😭😭😭😭 r f kuang was like im gonna write a book so full of two wrongs don't make a right and the ppl that get it and the ppl that don't probably have a child's grasp of morality and victimhood and are actively a threat to public consciousness hgfdhhjjj

[excelsior9173]

okay i actually cannot be normal about the mask changes with sleep token… especially iii… like that slenderman looking fucker had me in a chokehold (lol) from the very first video i ever saw of them (what can i say? i love weirdos and bassists are always weird as fuck 🥰 i may have been too afraid to actually look at him when i saw them but still. i adore him.)

but now?! with his new mask? and the hair? god i will never be the same again. like i’m gonna be fuckin feral about this for awhile. and desperately searching for tickets (and hoping for a tour date closer to me 😭)

anyways. i’m just having big feelings about the boys and iii and i cannot believe how deeply into this i’ve gotten since january

O'Knutzy Week Day 4

AHHHH DAY 4 MY FAVORITE OF EVERYTHING, ALL OF THESE FICS ARE SO GOOD Y'ALL!!!! [Again, this is a scheduled post and was written in June :')]

Credits to the writer, the myth, the LEGEND, @lumosinlove for all of these lovely characters and to @oknutzy-week-2024 for just being wonderful, (I'm sure they are, I don't actually know them, I've put them through enough at this point with the hell it is to schedule these things, and they haven't yelled at me yet, so I take that as a win)

Part two of my racing fic When We Can't Pretend (the name will probably make more sense now, poetic title and all) is out officially now, congrats to everyone who didn't read it yesterday as well. To all those who did, how'd ya like it? As with all Harvard Era FinLo, things are good and happy until they really aren't, this is the "really aren't" part, fair warning. ANYWAY, enjoy!

Summary: Finn confronts Logan about what happened in the car a few hours earlier and he gets his soul crushed.

Characters: Finn O'Hara, Logan Tremblay, Percy Lastname

Warnings: Cursing, Pain, Mentions of Past Injury, and emotional damage

Word Count: 2,096 (Preview of 238 under cut)

“Now explain to me again about this ‘natural talent?’” Percy questioned as they all settled at a table. They had decided to go to the nearby country club for dinner: it was large, doubled as a weird rich hangout, but it was supposed to have some good food, with a nice eating area. “I told you, not natural,” Finn retorted, rolling his eyes, “My grandparents lived next to a track up in Maine. Me and Alex would race all the time when we were up there for the summers.” Focus, focus, focus, Finn’s mind screamed at him as Percy kept talking. God, Finn couldn’t stop thinking about Logan, his mouth, his hands, the fire in his lips. It didn’t help that Logan was now pressed up against him in the tight booth. A waitress came up to get their drinks, and soon the conversation moved on from the racing. Finn could feel Logan beside him, reaching his hands up constantly to mess with his hat. It drove Finn wild, but he kept his eyes anywhere but Logan. He couldn’t look. Something, something, simmered inside of him; he couldn't name what, though. It got stronger every time Logan elbowed him, or threw his hand around his shoulder, or simply acted like everything was normal. Like Finn couldn’t still feel Logan’s hand in his hair and his teeth and tongue. It hurt, this game of pretend they were both playing.
