how I like to imagine lucanis is feeling about being dragged along to the grand necropolis every other day in this playthrough... it's about the duality of

all the walking dressed up skeletons and other assorted body parts strewn around: undeniably kind of bad and creepy. how the fuck is it so cold and windy down here all the time rook is just a slip of a thing how are they not shivering constantly. should I get him a nice warm scarf or would that be against his sense of swag as a watcher I am currently being made to think way too much about spirit possession (these weirdos seem to think it can be benign???? it does NOT feel benign). someone might have worked very hard to get those bones to lie still and dead on the ground it seems disrespectful to that hard work to make the bones get back up again and dance a jig like this. is all I'm saying

vs.

hearing rook speak to spirits and wayward wisps with kind calm authorativeness and care and generally show a whole new side of competence and knowledge they've kept close to the chest so far: ...this better not awaken anything in me (challenge failed)

(rook who's anxiously trying to gauge if the skeletons are going to be a dealbreaker fondly reminiscing 'oh I had my first kiss over there by the van markham mausoleum from the latter part of the steel age actually' and lucanis having to admit 'this does explain some things about you'. there must be some kind of comfort in feeling like you're too removed from the normal human experience anymore to connect with someone only to find that the person you're growing a terrible crush on had barely ever seen the sun until the age of like 34 and thinks this place is the height of normalcy. lucanis' broody line where he's like 'I only know death' and ingellvar both meaningfully and amusedly raising their eyebrows like 'yeah? uh-huh? please, say more' fhdskjaf. i'm sorry you've had your freak matched lucanis I'm sure it's a bit disorienting but we'll figure this out together yet. two little death dudes sitting in a tree k i s s i n g and also trying to figure out the 'life' part of things together)

Black tank tops, the reason we died. H thirst trapped, his husband replied. Fans feral and jarred By arms sculpted and scarred ... The Larents said, “Bitches, it’s Pride.”

[ohwhatagloomyshow]

a friend asked why my url across platforms is always ohwhatagloomyshow & I explained that I had the honor of meeting Stephen Sondheim in 2013, where I built up the courage to thank him for his work and tell him the revival of Follies was the first show I’d ever seen on Broadway. He smiled and said kindly, “oh, what a gloomy show!” because I’m a 19 year old newborn baby praising a show about midlife crises.

Anyway, I told the friend it’s probably Sondheim’s gloomiest show, but that’s probably a debatable opinion! I would love to hear any arguments against it! I would say that of all his shows, it’s the one that ends with the least amount of hope. My definition of “gloomiest show” is most dependent on how you feel when you leave the theater, and in this case I do think Follies takes the cake, personally!

Full disclosure, the shows I’m least familiar with of Sondheim’s are Merrily & Passion.

loneliest person on earth//pt 2

pt 2 to my original fic

he smelled of motor oil and cinnamon. it was strange, but i found his scent comforting. he stroked my hair and kissed my head every now and then as i spilled. i explained everything in tears. How i felt inferior to everyone, how you felt so unloved, how you hated everything and never felt safe around anyone but him. you weren't supposed to say that part aloud but oh well. you snuggled into the crook of his neck only to be interrupted by his hand finding its way to your chin and lifting it up to meet his gaze. "y/n," he said, the way he says your name making you melt." I've moved around my entire life, from foster home to foster home. My memories with Piper and Jason were fake and they still are my best friends. I know its sometimes hard to believe but your friends love you, your siblings love you, and we all love you. no matter how you look, or act, or who likes you and who doesn't, i will always love you. i will be with you no matter what. i will stand with you between the heavens and the earth. i will tell you where you are. from the moment i saw you at camp half-blood, i have desperately loved you. (im sorry i just had to) and there is nothing that will ever make me to loving you." leo stated. each word making you feel warm and fuzzy inside. love. you had been dodging eros's arrows your entire life, literally. you could see whenever people first got hit with an arrow. you didn't try to dodge whenever he hit leo and you, though. you sniffled and wiped your dampened eyes as you focused your gaze on him. his wors rang with truth and you could tell. he had a soft expression on his face that made you want to stay like this and never leave his embrace. you stared at him in pure awe. " really?" you whispered, surprised. "really.'' leo stated before pulling you into a soft kiss. " i love you." you said before melting into his hug. as you felt him lay down, pulling you with him. he pulled he covers over you as he spooned you, wrapping his arms around your waist, as if to make sure you werent going anywhere. you nuzzled you head into his chest as you felt him plant a soft kiss onto your head one last time. " i love you." leo said as you felt yourself drift off. you didnt care what Chiron said, you were staying like this.

okay enstars instruments headcanons (this is not all of the characters just ones i felt like doing)

eichi: plays low-effort percussion. tried flute once and could not keep up with it. unfortunate truly. plays a mean xylophone on his good days though.

wataru: probably has basic knowledge in like. every instrument but specializes in flute because he can mimic his pigeons with it. bonus points that eichi loves it.

tori: wants so so bad to play flute but got stuck with the clarinet

yuzuru: learned clarinet so he could help tori, but i think it would be fun if he also did jazz clarinet in his spare time

subaru: this boy plays trumpet and is so annoying about it gdbless

mao: he's in bband right he plays guitar? probably also learned piano or something at some point but its very rusty

makoto: this guy really goes ham on the keyboard BUT cannot for the life of him play a normal piano

chiaki: touched a guitar once and the string broke and he has never been the same since

kanata: plays exclusively smooth jazz on a soprano sax

hiiro: one man band type of guy. little bit of everything going on there

aira: got jealous of hiiro being able to play instruments really well so soon after picking them up so he was determined to get better than him in one specific instrument and it was absolutely not one that he could handle (tuba/baritone) (hiiro has to help him with the sousaphone once and aira decides to just stick with baritone)

hiyori: flute and is one of those people who can beat-box with it

jun: puts up with hiyori's flute beat-boxing

shu: violin + viola and will get angry at you if you dont know the difference

mika: picked up violin because of shu but has a completely different style to him. also can fiddle like nobody's business

rinne: trumpet, sax, trombone, anything jazzy. probably recorded some of their backing tracks himself in their early days

himeru: classically trained on piano but never shows it off until rinne begs him to one day bc he overheard meru tapping away when he thought nobody was around

kaoru: was not playing that guitar in sustain memories we know this. koga does not let him near his guitars ever at all the one in sustain memories was on loan and at least two strings snapped on him. would love to have him learn like clarinet or something and incorporate that into their music because i think it would be neat

mitsuru: any wind instrument that lets him do those long runs of sixteenth notes. never gets his fingers tangled while doing them

keito: probably learned shamisen at some point but its like his temple duties and got put on the back burner

kuro: tenor saxophone

leo: also dabbles in a little of everything but is best on piano

izumi: flute or clarinet, but not both. flute because it matches the ethereal aesthetic and clarinet because it has a fuller sound

sora: he's the conductor of the es orchestra actually

Me BSing hcs like: The fact that Kae is not only able to create a shield when he is dangerously low HP but also the fact that he is able to regenerate HP when he hits opponents with Frostgnaw is definitely due to him receiving his Vision when Diluc had tried to kill him in their Confrontation...but could it be possible that his familial ties to the Abyss Order could have influenced that HP drain of his-
