Venti is calm as he sits quietly at the bar of Angel’s Share. Oblivious to the quiet concern of the outwardly surly owner, he is not upset or in trouble. He is musing over the realization that he still doesn’t know everything about his s/o.

One may ask ‘How can you not know something about your partner when you have been with them for years?’

But this wasn’t something like your favorite color or your birthday. Or even whether you wanted a gold or silver ring for your engagement or the exact number of times you had read your favorite book. He knows all of the answers to those questions, but this was something he didn’t know: the song that you hummed under your breath when you thought he wasn’t listening.

While he had told the traveler that he knew every song in the past, present, and future, that wasn’t entirely true. He was only aware of songs once they had been sung into existence and were carried by the wind to his ears. This was by his own volition, after all, what’s the point of encouraging creativity if you already know what they are going to make. Also, it would ruin his disguise if he was singing songs that others had written before they had created them.

So, when you, the dearest star in his galaxy, hummed that song while braiding his hair; his interest was piqued, and he tamped down the urge to question you about it. You rarely sang or even hummed around others. It wasn’t out of some distaste for music, but rather you were incredibly shy about performing.

However, to his disappointment, you noticed his peaked ears and immediately hushed despite his assurances.

This was not a single occurrence either. He would notice you humming this particular song when cooking, when hugging him after he ‘fell’ asleep, or even as you walk to Windrise for a picnic date. It drives him crazy to feel the notes on the wind and see your lovely lips form words that he can’t hear, but he knows nothing good will come from forcing you to sing.

Venti, through his experience as Barbatos, has learned that time is the only thing with more power than the gods. So, he will wait until you are ready to share with him. You are the light in his life, the person who helped him create a home, so for you, he would wait centuries.

--------------------------

The day finally comes when he is drowning in despair. He is upset and feels as wilted as week-old bouquet of windwheel asters. It isn’t often when the whirling storm of self-deprecating thoughts fill his head, as least it hasn’t since he met you.

These thoughts swirling reminding him that you deserve better. You deserve a person who doesn’t drown his memories in alcohol. You deserve someone who doesn’t anger people when he tries to make them laugh. You deserve to someone who is successful with a steady job who can make life easier for you.

You deserve someone who isn’t him and he can’t help but writhe in jealousy at the thought of you loving another romantically. Then the shame comes because how could the god of freedom want to shackle you to him?

The thought that one day you could be hurt if an enemy discovers his identity as Barbatos drives him to tears. How could Barbatos, weakest of the Seven Archons and object of mockery by the other six nations, ever protect the one he cherishes most when he has failed countless times before?

-

You find your lover after a couple of hours as he sits near the edge of Starsnatch Cliff. Your footsteps never fail to draw his attention as he looks up to you with sad, stormy eyes. You feel a chill when you stare into them like a stranger has stolen the soul of the person you love most.

You pull his body close towards yours, tugging him away from the cliff. As you hold him close, you can feel the sobs that wrack his body, and his cold limbs wrap themselves around your waist.

You hum a song that never fails to bring him peace from night terrors. It’s the song that you associate with him, as you sing of your love and the surprises that come from life together. He is your other half, the one who completes your soul, and when you look at your past, you can’t imagine a place you would rather be than by his side.

You look down and see your lover staring into your face like you had brought down the moon and stars for him. You both share a smile as you wipe the tears from his face and bring his face close for a soft kiss to confirm your never-ending love for each other.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Okay, so this is not entirely a Valentine’s Day post because this is part of a series that I have been working on. It’s called “Song Scenarios” and will involve characters from various games and shows. They are written with certain songs in mind but any one can associate whatever song they want.

For Venti, the song was Solo Para Ti by Camila (spanish rock band). Please give it a listen!

Horrorcon UK

Ok, so a little rather late for an Audio Drama Sunday post, but I wanted to share what an epic weekend we had at Horrorcon UK in Sheffield 11-12th May.

Myself, Daivd Ault and James Cleveland (all from The NoSleep Podcast) were there promoting "Horror in Audio Fiction", trying to get more people to discover audio drama and fiction through podcasts, and not assuming all podcasts were two blokes talking about stuff into a mic.

Having worked on over a 100 shows between us, (with a lot of horror), it became a game of "Tell us what kind of horror you like, and we'll recommend a show for you to listen to".

From the big anthology shows like NoSleep, and the very British and queer Shadows at the the Door, we kept finding more shows to talk about and add to an ever-growing flow chart.

Shows we were flag waving for included:

The NoSleep Podcast Shadows at the Door @re-dracula @thekilda @woebegonepod Dark Dice Red Odyssey Audible Visions Drama Creepy Campfire Radio Theatre The Wicked Library Victoria's Lift The Dead @lessismorguepod The Hidden Frequencies

And it wasn't just horror! We gave shoutouts to @camlannpod and the sci-fi series Cyclone as well!

In all, a wonderful weekend introducing people to the incredible world of audio drama and fiction.

Sorry for all the reblogs… I’m gonna give you one last notification. Please don’t hate me.

What’s your favorite musical? I’m so so sorry if this question has already been asked, I kinda skipped all the lore and just admired the art— I AM GOING BACK TO READ THE LORE THOUGH! And do your guys like musicals as well? If so, which ones?

Thank you so very much for sharing your talent with the world! You are wonderful!

Man, I love you XD

No need to apologize!! Reblogs are always welcome

My favorite musical changes every few weeks, but right now its epic the musical. A few days ago it was a mix of falsettos and something rotten, and a few weeks before that it was some like it hot (boy I LOVE this one)

Honorable mentions tho are: the waitress (love this one too AAAA) mean girls, legally blonde (AAAAA) catch me if you can, uhh hadestown and Hamilton

I think the ones actually listening to musicals are probably Ravio, Midna, Flora, Twi (because he’s basically forced lol) and groose maybe. Styla, Artemis/Athena, Hilda as well

Yea it’s mainly the theatre gang and some of their friends/partners

Im just gonna make a List hold on

Ravio: I think he loves mean girls and some like it hot. He probably listens to more … happier musicals that don’t give you emotional damage every time you listen to them. Might like Cmiyc as well. He loves Christian Borle. (Like me) enjoys sad/emotional ones too tho like DeH, Hamilton, hadestown, waitress.

Midna: heathers, Beetlejuice, school of rock? Also she adores Alex brightman

Flora: little shop of horrors. (Haven’t fully listened to it but I think it’s something might like?) hadestown. Erika henningsen vibes.

Twi: he likes some songs from the great comet and wicked, and heathers. Has to listen to Midna sing literally any musical. Rip doggo boi

Groose: something rotten, tootsie, BMC

Styla: legally blonde, mean girls, wicked, Annie, Anastasia, six

Artemis/Athena: she would love epic lol, tootsie probably

Hilda: deh, some like it hot, six, mmmm yeah.

I think legend might also listen to musicals

Probably: Hamilton, Waitress, chocolate factory, Smash/Bombshell,

Baku Yumemakura`s Twilight Theatre #1 animated by Yasuomi Umetsu

Hamlet and Horatio in the Graveyard

Artist: Eugène Delacroix (French, 1798–1863)

Created: 1839

Subject: Horatio, Hamlet

Period: Romanticism

Medium: Oil on Canvas

Location: Stadel Museum, Frankfurt, Germany

Reflecting on death and transience, Prince Hamlet and his friend Horatio are alone in the cemetery. They only learn of who the grave belongs to when the funeral procession for Ophelia, Hamlet’s lover, appears. Horatio stands firm and exalted. The prince, holding the court jester Yorick’s skull, seems to almost slide off the sloping slab into the grave – an indication of his imminent death. In the painting, which was rejected by the Paris Salon jury, the French artist shows Shakespeare’s protagonist as a typically romantic hero: sensitive and melancholy, isolated and introverted.

i also read a lot (not books from the booktok… jsyk) and i like to write some dumb poetry or silly sad stories when i feel like it. i also draw sometimes when i’m bored but i wouldn’t call myself good at it.

certified thought daughter. i’m awkward.

this blog will be just a bunch of stuff that goes through my head.. buh bye!!

[carcarrot]

twilight the musical

[crows-bottle-cap]

yall my theater named the drills after twilight characters HELP

[caelichythcat]

now THAT'S a spooky occasion

[bokettochild]

Ok so I sent the thing about the great gatsby so let me type it instead sorry about that. The one you didn't understand

I went to see the great gatsby on Broadway I'm a big theater nerd so I kinda was just trying to rant but voice typing doesn't like me.

So I feel like if malon and time brought the chain to see the great gatsby time would kinda be like an air port dad but...city like? Like "do you have your tickets? Is that alcohol free? What if that fell down? Legend why do yoy like this jeremy jordan? We're is the parking malon! Why are people cursing to much" like that

Mean while malon is amazed at what the city looks like she is in awe like "why is the buildings so tall? I think that person waved at me" she is like a kid but she also is keeping an eye on hyrule and wild to make sure they're not running off. Four is just holding malons hand.

Legend is the whole reason their there because he has been dying to see jeremy jordan and eva noblezada on Broadway so both of them in one play? Kill two birds with one stone. Legend is giddy the whole time but like it's not obvious Maybe only to hyrule.

Wind hyrule and wild are like "Oh what's that? Can I touch it? Look shiny! What does that say" their running away giving time a panic attack. Twilight has a literal leash on the three of them.

Twilight and sky are just talking about school and their lovers. Well warriors will add a comment here or there.

Once their in the theater.

Legend is just like star struck when he see jeremy and eva on the stage. Like malon has to physically shut his jaw.

Malon is enjoying the show she likes how it is in the 1920s but she had been close to hitting time four time already because he had no clue what Is happening he is not following anything. Like time mind is just wrecked theirs lights on but no one is home.

Warriors wants to know how they all do their make up that's the only thing he cares about he doesn't care about the drama even though you would think he does all you hear from him is "I gotta ask how they did their make up"

Sky passed out the first five minutes of the show.

Twilight is trying his best not to choke wild because wild hasn't shut up from the beginning of the play he is making refrances and all that.

In the play their is a a sex sence that happens and malon would be like "wars! Cover winds ears and eyes!" In panic

legend Is trying not to laugh at malons panic but he is also covering hyrules eyes but is very in vested.

Four is unfazed by aby of the show.

Then for Mt second rambled I was trying to talk about what Broadway shows I think would fit each linked Universe character.

Like for time either Westside story or the notebook book.

I feel like for warriors newsies or mama mai but like if he was a newises boy he would act out katherine.

I feel like legend would either fit six dear evan hanson or the great gatsby just because it fits him so well or bonnie and clyde.

Wind is the greatest showman or high-school musical.

Wild and twilight I feel like are a bit of descendents but also a bit of Westside story.

Four is hamilton just with all the different personality's.

Hyrule i feel like Cinderella.

Sky I feel like he would a mix of newsies or the waitress because he would just relate with it with sun.

Hope this makes sense.

Much better! Thank you so much! I saw Broadway and really wanted to read it, so I'm real thankful for the second go!

Legend being a theatre nerd that drags the whole family down to see his favorite actor (Jeremy Jordan, heck yeah!) is something I love, and while I've never seen that musical, I'll bet he's loving the whole thing!

The oldest three just chilling and chatting while corralling the rest is gold to me LOL

Hevane help the whole theatre if Time and Wild are sitting next to each other, or worse, with Twi between them. they're both so lost and chatty, and Twi just wants to watch the musical! I'll bet food is the only way to shut them up, and he's plying them both with it so he can hear at least some of what's happening.

The whole family starts slapping each other in the face when things get R Rated. How they missed that while buying tickets, they're not sure, but apparently amidst all his fussing, Time forgot to actually look up anything about the play, just the theatre, the town, the roads, and everything else LOL.

I honestly have no clue which musicals best suit the boys, and have only seen a few, but I love the thoughts you had, at least as far as the ones I actually recognize!

i thought the ambiant music that we were using as one of the last tracks for the show im working on sounded familiar so i asked about it, turns out its an instrumental version of one of the songs off this shoegaze album i was obssed with my freshman year
