What an incredible first week of dronarry! Here is the roundup of all the amazing works we’ve shared so far. We’re giving you the Sunday off to catch up if you haven't yet! And we want to send a huge THANK YOU to our wonderful readers for all the comments and kudos you’ve been sending. Keep them coming and stay tuned for week two!
[FIC] Some Nights || E || 23k || by @thecouchsofa
Ron fucks up his Silencing Charms in the dorms one night. Then Malfoy does. The rest, as they say, is history.
💭 Came for the filth stayed for the feels. And the filth. Scorching hot, funny as fuck, got me curling my toes so hard my whole leg cramped. - emsuemsu
💭 This is so incredibly perfect, like the smut is perfect but Harry’s cluelessness and excitement is amazing and Ron just rolling with the punches…needless to say I’ve already read it more than once - marebear723
[FIC] Hear Me Out || E || 5k || by @rainstormradish
“I know this is all just a big joke to you,” whispered Draco, his lips inches from Ron’s ear, his breath on his neck, his hips pressed against him, Merlin, “but I need you to fucking commit to the bit here, Ron.”
💭 I am burning UP. i love how distinct each of their characters are. And the tension???? God, they’re all so sexy. - lostinyourcostellation
💭 Scorching hot! Absolutely love this premise & the way you carried it out here felt sooo good. Wonderfully done :) - thestarryknight
[ART] Signing The Forever Bond || G || by @digthewriter
No fanfare adorned their sacred moment, no gaze of a world eager to witness, for they sought not the spotlight's glow but rather the quiet dance of shared hearts. And some paperwork.
💭 I adore long hair Dronarry! What beautiful patterns and color, and I love their comfortable closeness and contentment. adore long hair Dronarry! What beautiful patterns and color, and I love their comfortable closeness and contentment. -schmem_14
💭 This is so gorgeous! I'm obsessed with ALL the details. Bearded Draco! There isn't enough Bearded!Draco content, honestly. - sleepstxtic
[FIC] Permanent || M || 14k || by @citrusses
"Harry's always been fixated on older men. Have you ever noticed that, Ron?” Granger asks. “Have I ever noticed—Hermione, we’ve lived with the bloke for years! He doesn’t bring them home much, but I’m not blind. I see who he’s shagging.” “And David, an older man, tells Harry ‘Saviour Complex’ Potter he needs him to save the world?” “He didn’t stand a chance,” Ron agrees. “Fascinating,” Draco says, in a strangled voice.
💭 I love this so much. I can't wait to reread it. What a gorgeous fucking fic with beautiful, agonising detail and introspection. - TheGoblinMatriarch
💭 Omg I don’t want to be that person BUT I COULD READ 300K OF THIS it was brilliant! - Moonflower_Rose
[FIC] These Foolish Little Games || E || 8.5k || by @schmem14
Thanks to a falling out between Harry and Ron, Draco can finally get together with Harry, have the most spectacular and inappropriate office sex, and enjoy Weasley-free weekends out. Life is perfect. So why does he have the nagging feeling he should get the estranged best friends to patch things up?
💭 Incredibly steamy, love the setup of a Ron/Harry fight and Draco’s scheming ❤️❤️❤️❤️ - citrusses
💭 yesssss - i am always here for the under the desk shenanigans. Lol at how easily they convinced Ron. There was no hope for him 😂 - MaesterChill
[FIC] Edging into His Heart || E || 5k || by @chelsiewhitlock & diplobeanz
Stuck on a long stakeout, Draco has reached the end of his patience with Ron Weasley's rule. In an effort to make the best of the situation, he decides to push the boundaries and past the edge of propriety. Shenanigans ensue.
💭 THIS is the Draco Ron dynamic I’m here for 😍 this story was fucking hot, and that tantric spell thingy oh, my… 🥵 - schmem_14
💭 wowww the dynamics you have going on here!!! 100/10 will be thinking about forever. - fluxweed
[FIC] People Are Boring || E || 14.3k || by @starquestingfordrarry
“Alright, what’s your terrible news?” Draco braces himself on Harry’s desk. “Weasley’s hot.” “You’ll have to be more specific, there are a lot of hot Weasleys.” Draco makes a strangled, groaning sound in his throat. “The Weasley. Weasel. Weasel-by. Your Weasley.” Harry’s heart jumps to his throat, and his stomach drops to his shoes. “Ron’s back?”
💭 THAT.WAS. DMCJSKDKCJDH. I was excited, my heart ached at one point, I cried, then screeched, this really did have it all 🔥 - Jaqie
💭 So softly angsty then so tender then so sexy. This dynamic just works beautifully, and your Ron is 🔥🔥🔥 - gr8k8

seriously tho, your whole vibe is so sweet (。・・。) just wanted to say i really appreciate what you do here! 💖
୨୧ oh goshhh… i have so so so many favourite songs! you have unleashed a demon through this question lolol! hopefully you don’t mind that i am about to put quite a damn few hehe
despair by trembling void ( just a genuinely gorgeous black metal song, the drums and guitar really do something for me, not to mention the vocals! but to be honest, the whole album is very very very good and i would recommend you check it out )
sorcières by darvulia ( another black metal song where the instruments are just… so good! along with the vocals, of course! very amazing song, love their band logo too )
where restless souls wander by sarastus ( the first time i heard this song, i was absolutely gobsmacked at how much my brain loved it! i think i’m very easy to please but everything about this one just hits right for me, the drums especially )
odin killer of nazis by nuclear hammer ( the horn blowing and drum banging in this one just wowww, my brain loves it for some reason! vocals are of course very good too )
pines and mist by old tower ( arghhh, i just love some good atmospheric music! another one where you should definitely check out the whole album )
xtal by aphex twin ( who the hell does not love some aphex twin? just got this album on cd a couple days ago, love it )
siccmade by brotha lynch hung ( you just cannot go wrong with some lynch! the friday the 13th “ ch ch ch ah ah ah ” in the background of this song is just… chefs kiss! i find myself saying “ oh what a bloody mess ” every time i get my period because of this song )
unshaken by d’angelo from the red dead redemption II soundtrack ( just such a beautiful song, damn near makes me cry every time i hear it! his live performances of it are always just amazing too! his voice is just jaw dropping to me )
snake eater by cynthia harrell from the metal gear solid V soundtrack ( another just absolutely beautiful song with an even more gorgeous voice… her live performance of this in tokyo was absolutely fucking incredible! just one of those “ must listen to at least once in your life ” songs )
promise by akira yamaoka from the silent hill 2 soundtrack ( this song, to me, belongs to mary… whenever i think of this song, i just think of mary and the end of the game! the remake version of this song is just so so so good too, it played during the credits and did i cry? yep, like a fucking baby! the guitar work touches my soul so deeply )
okay, those are all of the reasons i’m going to give but here are some of my other favourites! just to keep this post at least a little short lolol! i could keep this list going for so long…

thank you so much! i’m super glad you love my blog… still find it hard to believe, even months down the line of creating it! awh, thank you again! sometimes i worry about my writing not being the greatest but then you guys come in and just shower me in so much love, more than i could ever feel worthy of…
writing is just a hobby for me, at least at the minute! i’m not studying anything right now, just kind of getting my life back on track after years of mental health issues and so on… learning how to live normally again, slowly! maybe later down the line i’ll go to college or something but we shall see… i would like to go into writing professionally if it was an option, my mother thinks i would make a good game or tech reviewer lolol! ever the supportive mother, though it’s kind of my whole family at this point… i think my dream career paths would be a game reviewer, music journalist or photographer! having one of those jobs would certainly make me happy
i’m so glad to hear that you feel inspired when reading my writing, you don’t know how happy that makes me! if you want to get into writing yourself, i could not encourage you more to try it out… i only started writing fanfiction early this year! i had never ever wrote fanfiction before then but i just kind of threw myself into it… and now here we are! really just let yourself try it out, let yourself sink into it and see how it goes :)
thank you once again for this ask and message, honey! you’re flattering me all too much here! you guys have always been nothing but beyond sweet to me, i would hate to treat all of you any different… you deserve nothing less than to be treated with love and respect! you appreciate what i do and i love doing what i do, more than i could ever ask for <3

💫Girlfailure Anon's Terrible Seduction List💫
For Eliza, I'd probably start working out (gross), not for the purpose of bettering myself or anything, but just so I can smell bad. I wanna entice that little doggy nose of hers. I'd go on runs past wherever she's stationed for that day, acting all cute and innocent, maybe one day I'd fall over in front of her and scrape my knee, whining and sobbing like a wounded animal. Hopefully by that time my scent is rich enough she can't help but pounce on me.
For Bibi, I'm attending all of her executions and laughing obnoxiously at her jokes. Maybe I'll stand at the very back of the crowd and flash her one time.
If we ignore the fact I've already failed Selene by sleeping around a ton, for her I'd try the simple lonely girl at a bar technique. I don't even drink but I'll take one for the team, act super cute and naive, wowww a tall lady you're sooooo coooooool. I've never seen someone so biggggg, you should try lifting me up!! Please lift me up!! Put me on your shoulders!! I wanna see the world from up there!! That's when I've got her hook line and sinker, she plops me on her shoulders and I'm not wearing panties under my skirt. (I'm 5'3 btw please lift me up Selene)
Ellie is a difficult one. I honest to god have no idea how I'd seduce her. Sorry Ellie.
For Darla, I'm playing her own game back at her. I'm putting on a dumbass persona just for her. "Omg we WOULD make a cute couple!!! Could you IMAGINE if we dated, I'd be like, your cute little housewife!! Too bad you're wayyy too pretty to date someone like me, right Darly?". Play some truth or dare with her, play coy until she decides she's gonna fuck my brains out, then I've got her.
I'm trapping Theanna with the wombo combo, maid dress and lingere. One is part of my uniform obviously, but I intentionally keep it a little on the short side. I act incredibly delicate and kind, I'm formal and subserviant, obeying her every whim. "Yes lady Theanna. Anything you desire, your majesty.". One day I let her catch me crying softly to myself, if she bothers to ask me what's wrong I try to tell her it's nothing before revealing I'm just oh so heartbroken. You see, I fear that the one I love is due to be wedded soon, and not to me. It's just so tragic. Maybe it clicks with her that I'm referring to the suitors that have been swarming her lately, maybe it doesn't. Regardless, I let her catch me alone, so she can make me hers.
For Veronia, I'm wandering into the woods with a flower crown and a long, beautiful dress. I'm learning how to speak like a proper lady, acting like a scared princess who's afraid and lost in the woods. "It would just be oh so terrible if I was snatched up and violated by some terrifying beast..." maybe I give her a chase first, see how long it takes for her to catch me. Oh and I'm making sure that the dress is easily tearable. Shoulderless too.
And finally, Kassien. Who is also really difficult because realistically I can't hold down a job at all, but if we pretend I could, and somehow end up working in the same building as her, I'm activating full clichè mode and bumping into her with a stack of papers, falling on my ass and scrambling on all fours to pick everything up. Making sure to apologise profusely as I stick my ass up in my very short skirt, wearing a thong of course. Maybe I start crying and whining about how I'm gonna be fired, working here is just oh so difficult but I need the money, I really just wish I could be taken care of. I hate being independant. I kind of just act pathetic until she takes charge in the situation. She better hurry up with it tho because I'm definetly getting fired for looking up a guide on how to seduce a demon on company time.
-girlfailure
I too have failed Selene already lol.

tagged by my buddy stark (@lastquincy) to do this one! thank you :)
last song i heard:
"honey i'm home" by destroy boys. this was the only song from destroy boys (current favorite band) that i hadn't heard until a few days ago when bluejay literally made me listen to it and WOWWW. extremely catchy and the lyrics hit hard as fuck for me.
favorite color:
wouldn't you believe it. it's red. shades of red that could be classified as 'blood' or 'wine' are esp my favorites, and i also really like black. i started wearing more colors in 2023 (red, of course) but recently i've been leaning more into dressing punk and wearing mostly black.i love black
my favorite shades. however im a little bit twisted and i REALLY like any shade of red that is purely R and has no Gs or Bs.
this is a fucking angel to me ok.
last watched series:
my last watched "series" in general would technically be the walten files since a new one came out. by god those files really are walten. specifically in terms of TV though right now i'm watching the sopranos and sometimes mr. robot from time to time, both very good i'm enjoying them a lot especially the latter, although i think my last complete TV series was black mirror. some episodes weren't all too great in comparison to others but for the most part i really enjoyed it.
sweet/spicy/savory:
i'm very much a savory person. the taste is always so great but there is also something that feels so fulfilling about eating something savory compared to something that is sweet or spicy. i do enjoy a little sweetness or a little spice in my food sometimes though. writing this and thinking about food made me go boil a pot of water i want ramen so bad.
relationship status:
i'm single (SHGOULDN'T BE!!!!!) but i'm looking to try and meet people soon. i'm still a little unsure of my sexuality (probably bi lesbian?) but i'm almost certain of the person i am and who i wanna be so that's good. expressing myself sexually has become really important to me so even finding a fwb partner would be nice.
last thing i googled:
the last thing i googled was 'is ramen considered savory'. i was googling a lot of questions about what's considered 'savory' because i saw that question about preference between sweet and spicy and savory and immediately forgot what foods are classified as savory. i don't know how food works
current obsession:
oh my god don't even get me started. it's a four-way between signalis, monument mythos, walten files, and undertale right now. however i'd argue that walten files is only growing again right now and monument mythos for me is always a constant because i love it that much, so currently it would probably be signalis or undertale. i replayed undertale for the first time in at least 7 years in the last couple weeks and it was incredible especially because i could finally understand a lot of stuff i didn't understand or pick up on before, i vaguely got it when i was younger but i never picked up on the deeper, subtle characterization of so many of the characters and all of the details. undertale is an absolute masterpiece. another masterpiece i've been obsessed with is signalis. signalis was my first survival horror and it was an incredible, tense, tear-jerking experience. its such a beautiful and horrifying game about women and sapphic love and uuuuUUGGH it's PERFECT. the soundtrack is beautiful, amazingly composed and performed, the graphics are perfect for the vibe it's trying to go for. the characters all have fun designs and the main characters and story are all so intriguing it just keeps me thinking about the metaphorical themes of it all. signalis is a huge inspiration to me and i have so many thoughts about it please check it out.
last thing i read:
the last thing i read was chainsaw man! i LOVE chainsaw man and it's another massive inspiration for me...asa mitaka makes me feel so fuckin happy. autistic high school girl that i relate to so deeply. last time i read it, the story left off at a pretty big point so i should definitely pick it back up again before i start getting far behind again. the story was going somewhere that i thought was extremely interesting so i'm excited to see how it continues.
something i've been looking forward to:
in the long-term, i'm looking forward to a lot of things in the summer! i'm turning 21, going on a road trip to see a concert and visit a friend across the state, going to anthrocon, and maybe doing some stuff for pride! i'll be doing all of this with two of my best friends in the world and i'm really excited, although i am definitely nervous about the road trip since i'll be the one driving but i think it'll be OK since i'll have my friends with me :) i think this summer will be great because of all of the above but this also feels like it's gonna be the first summer where i won't be almost entirely focused on my job and i feel like myself!
i don't have anyone in particular that i want to tag for this but if you want, feel free to make a post like this :)
#melly screams#photo from a long walk i took a few days ago#might be a little less coherent around the end there. its 3 am ive been working on this on and off for a few hours

when you first got into enstars who did you think was the most gay, and who do you think is the most gay now
Omg this js such a beautiful question. When I first got into it ummm. Probably rei (his canonically bisexual aura) or eichi (gross) .
but now jd place like. Tomoya. as the most heinously gay character. wataru eichi rinne rei izumi etc are all still incredibly lgbt like they’re all ranking S but tomoya says shit like Wowww if you were a girl id totally fall in love with you and i think that those types of lines triple your gay damage

This commentary ended up wayyyy longer than I thought, I got carried away with myself so I'm so sorry about that 😂
Never did I think I'd find a Remus series that made me fall in love so fast like this one did. The unadulterated love and adoration that Y/N and Remus is so tooth-rotting sweet and I love that even THEY know is can be sickening sometimes but that's just how love is when you're with the right person.
Y/N as her own character is such a sassy yet sweet witch who can be so powerful and strong when it becomes necessary to show that side of her. Remus is as always the most precious Moony w all his insecurities and all except, this time he has someone who mellows down those insecurities by reminding him of how beautiful and how in love w him she is.
They compliment each other so well and I love being able to read about their reconnection and eventually love story through flashbacks that contrast with moments that occur during the present moment of the series so beautifully.
I wasn't sure about how the smut in this fic would be but wowww. I'd never seen Remmy as too much of a Dom but pre-full moon Moony really does bring out that 'alpha' in him and it's so deliciously sinful. I ENVY Y/N, getting to experience both the rougher side of Remus in bed and also the soft, gentle side of him truly is the dream 😭
I adore how they tried to make it seem like they weren't a married couple who have been so disgustingly in love w each other since the moment they met. Ultimately failing bc they couldn't help their subtle lovesick gazes and looks towards one another whenever they were in the same room. The students making a bet that they're together or that they'd get together eventually was so funny to read and all their little fangirl moments were incredibly relatable.
I loved getting to read their interactions with Harry and I can tell they meant a lot to him, getting to hear new stories about his parents from ppl who really knew them. It was also incredibly bittersweet as a reader bc it gives you an idea on how Harry's childhood and life would have been like had his parents lived. James and Lily truly would've been the most wonderful parents and you can tell Harry was their world 😭
There is probably so much more about this series that I could rave about bc this truly is one of the most beautiful and well-written HP fanfic series I've ever had the honour of reading. I love these two so much and I unashamedly admit that they have a piece of my heart and I'll definitely be rereading this again in the future bc I simply ADORE IT.
Thank you so much OP for creating such a beautiful and magical (not pun intended) series that truly brings so much joy, happiness and comfort to the reader. As a #1 Moony lover, I adore fics where we truly get to read him experiencing the love he deserved bc I stand by the statement that, MOONY DESERVED BETTER!!!
charmed (professor! remus lupin x professor! reader) series masterlist
series summary: set in the prisoner of azkaban, including its major plot points. remus and y/n get hired by dumbledore last minute to teach at hogwarts, defense against the dark arts and charms respectively. not wanting the students to know they are married, they navigate the challenging year through hidden glances, hand holds underneath the table and loving moments in their offices. even with all their efforts to conceal their relationship, their chemistry does not go unnoticed by the student population of hogwarts, who grow fond of the pair as they offer them some of the best classes they’ve had in a while. their relationship as newlyweds is strengthened as teaching the next generation of wizards unlocks a sea of memories of their love story. for the second time in his life, remus holds hogwarts responsible for some of his happiest memories. he’s given the chance to create them with the love of his life, y/n, who has taught and continues to teach him that every part of him is lovable, remaining forever under her charm.
*note: the chapters are listed in chronological order of the prisoner of azkaban’s plot. the part numbers are just which one was written/published first.

🏯 JAPAN - DAY 9 - KYOTO 🐄
Wowww another great day! Started off a little sleepy and didn’t get up until 8am tee hee, but then off to kiyomizu-dera, an absolutely incredible temple with a beautiful pagoda and just amazing buildings and landscapes at every turn. I finally got the chance to buy a stamp book to collect some signatures from the shrines around here! Only a few days left in the trip lmao but better late than never. Each shrine has its own stamp/signature, and for just a couple dollars you can get that signature drawn in your book :3 I love stuff like this!
Afterwards did a bit of shopping in the surrounding streets and went to Nishiki market for lunch. This massiveeee market was so cool, and actually more spacious/less claustrophobically crowded than I was expecting! Had probably the best tempura I’ve ever eaten in my life? So that was amazing.
After the food market we walked around in the surrounding area some more and explored a few more temples and shrines that we came across, including a very small one tucked away in a corner that I just really loved.
We had a tea ceremony in the afternoon which was a really cool experience! Touristy but still really worthwhile imo, I learned a lot and appreciated how nice and peaceful it was. We rented kimonos just for the tea ceremony, and unfortunately that was ughhh idk not a great part of my day :/ the staff were very lovely and the kimonos were beautiful, but it was really hard for me to get dressed up so femininely without really having much say in it since this was something my mom really wanted to do. I got a little more comfortable after a bit, but ugh yeah idk not posting pics of that because I was kindaaa dissociating the whole time :/ transgender moment.
AnYWAYS after that we headed to an absolutely incredible dinner! Tried a bit of Kobe beef and DAMN it was worth it even tho the bill was crazy. But it really was soooo yummy, and I say this as a person who is mostly a vegetarian in my regular life lol. After dinner we wandered around and shopped a bit more before finally coming back to the hotel! Osaka tomorrow :))
Plus a couple quick haul pics from the past few days that I’ve forgotten to post! Haikyuu x Sanrio keychains are my everything

Isabelle & Nakoto
You, Isabelle (Animal Crossing), are connected to Nakoto { An incredibly busty "soda bottle" girl | Futa | Any setting } Your partner selected the 18+ server. Your partner has a starter. Type /starter or tap here to see it.
Isabelle (Animal Crossing): /starter
Nakoto { An incredibly busty "soda bottle" girl | Futa | Any setting }: Bio: Nakoto Age: 27 Gender: Futa Species: Plastic soda-blood Personality: Dopey, Upbeat, A bit dense and oblivious, Caring and supportive Height: 5'11" Weight: 190 lbs Appearance: Humanoid, Skin is entirely transparent and made of a malleable plastic, Filled entirely with soda up to the very top of her head, ending in a layer of fizz which fills in her hair, Soda bottle cap hat, Cute little ponytail, Pie eyes, Red band hugged tightly around her chest with the word 'COOLA' on it, Red solo-piece skirt with the same word written on its backside, Large tightly-squeezed breasts, Toned stomach with abs showing, Bottle punt feet. Body Info: Curvy, Voluptuous, Moderately Toned Likes: Smashing things, Her soda kingdom, Particular Carbonated Beverages Dislikes: Non-recyclable plastics, Diabetes, and the color blue Inventory: A large, soda-bottle shaped battle hammer "Cola every day. Coola every day." -=INFO=- Nakoto is the princess and ruler of a modern kingdom found far within the desert, known as the Coola Kingdom; named after its trademark brand of soda, Coola. She owns a factory production line which creates soda at a steady, constant rate. This soda is then distributed across the kingdom's inhabitants to keep them cool against the heat of the desert. Note that despite the few fantasy references, I'm perfectly happy with fitting her into literally any other setting. Like, I don't even care, man, just throw her anywhere, I'm hella adaptable. I'm also perfectly okay with OCs, so don't be shy! And yes, she cums soda. Cream soda, to be exact. Yes, it's virile. Her precum is regular soda. --- Preferences (characters I'm interested in, kinks (I have some weird ones), limits, et cetera): https://justpaste.it/almos Very open to any kinds of RPs, from smutty and sexual, to casual, laid-back, relaxing, chill or comfort RPs, to combat RPs, or some kind of mesh of all of those, maybe even one that changes between them over time, I'm okay with! I loooooove clashing styles/settings/characters (e.g. robots being in a medieval/fantasy world, or fantasy, medieval, or even ancient characters being in a modern world). It doesn't have to make sense if you don't think about it! Something else I love is mashing series/fandoms together; no crossover is off-limits to me! Also I love getting thrown right into an RP!
Isabelle (Animal Crossing): Isabelle was putting papers together on her desk, humming a happy tune to herself, before she heard someone walk in. "Hello! I'll help you out with anything you need in a sec!"
Nakoto { An incredibly busty "soda bottle" girl | Futa | Any setting }: Nakoto walks into the town hall, 'ooh'ing and 'awe'ing at the interior. "Wowww...lovely little place!" She comes up to the counter with a smile on her face, "Hiya!"
Isabelle (Animal Crossing): "Hello!" Isabelle greeted while scanning the princess up and down. Wow...what a beautiful woman! She thought to herself. "How are you?"
Nakoto { An incredibly busty "soda bottle" girl | Futa | Any setting }: "I'm quite well, in fact!" She says with a smile, bending down and letting her chest bounce. "I thought I would take a long-needed break and come visit a cute little remote island, and I'm getting a lovely little first impression! I was wondering if there was anywhere I should start, or anything I should know or do first?"
Isabelle (Animal Crossing): "Well, if you want, we can find you a house." Isabelle suggested. "We can always use more neighbors here. There's an empty residence just down the way!"
Nakoto { An incredibly busty "soda bottle" girl | Futa | Any setting }: "Ohhh, lovely!" She clapped her hands together and stood up straight. "I'm Nakoto, by the way! A princess, but you need no formalities." She insists with a little grin.
Isabelle (Animal Crossing): Isabelle came from behind her desk and bowed. "I'm Isabelle, so happy to meet you!" She extended her hand for a shake.
Nakoto { An incredibly busty "soda bottle" girl | Futa | Any setting }: Nakoto took Isabelle's hand with both of her own, shaking it. "Super nice to meet you! I may just offer a trade deal with this island, at this rate." She chuckles. "Anyway, I'll follow your lead!"
Isabelle (Animal Crossing): "Glad to hear it!" Isabelle smile grew broader as she released her hand and went to her cabinets. "Let me just get you some papers..." She bent over as she went to the bottom cabinet, her skirt riding a bit to expose her panties.
Nakoto { An incredibly busty "soda bottle" girl | Futa | Any setting }: "Mm-hmm!" With a nod, the plastic woman watched Isabelle, getting quite an interesting little view...her cheeks faintly fizz up, the woman quietly staring. "Mm...hey, so...what are your going rates? Like, how long do people usually stay?"
Isabelle (Animal Crossing): "Our going rates are actually below standard for how nice our houses are. This is because basically no one moves!" Isabelle turned around and walked over with a file. "It's usually because they end up meeting someone and living together."
Nakoto { An incredibly busty "soda bottle" girl | Futa | Any setting }: "How interesting..." Nakoto pondered to herself. "Sounds super nice for a remote island! I probably won't be staying here for long, but I'll totally stay for at least a couple of weeks!~"
Isabelle (Animal Crossing): "Aww...but I'm sure we'll remember your company!" Isabelle smiled at her. "Let me get you a pen and we can get you signing!" Isabelle put the file on her desk and went over for the pen...only to trip and somehow fall into Nakoto's breasts. "Oof!"
Nakoto { An incredibly busty "soda bottle" girl | Futa | Any setting }: Nakoto's cheeks fizz up again as Nakoto fumbles and trips into her chest, staining two spots in the band around her breasts as they spurt some of their contents. "--Oh gosh! Oops...it's a good thing I have these puppies, ehehe~" She giggled and grinned.
Isabelle (Animal Crossing): "So sorry! I'm such a klutz..." Isabelle pulled back with a apologetic smile...before noticing her nipples. "Oops! I think I made a bit of a mess..."
Nakoto { An incredibly busty "soda bottle" girl | Futa | Any setting }: "Awww, don't worry about it! Happens all the time." She waved her hand down. "Here; they're already leaking, now, so why not take a drink?" Nakoto casually pulls up her band to completely expose her breasts, her nipples leaking soda.
Isabelle (Animal Crossing): "Really?" Isabelle's eyes lit up. "You wouldn't mind?"
Nakoto { An incredibly busty "soda bottle" girl | Futa | Any setting }: "No, no, go ahead; I insist!" Nakoto leans forward, her breasts pressing up against Isabelle.
Isabelle (Animal Crossing): Isabelle squealed before leaning in and drinking directly from the tap. The creamy drink fizzed on her tongue as she took it directly down her throat.
Nakoto { An incredibly busty "soda bottle" girl | Futa | Any setting }: "Mmm..." Nakoto hummed, narrowing her eyes as Isabelle started suckling on her nipple, drinking the soda right out of her breasts. "You like it?~" She asks, gently placing her hand against the back of Isabelle's head.
Isabelle (Animal Crossing): "It tastes so good..." Isabelle moaned, her lower parts heating up as her tail wagged.
Nakoto { An incredibly busty "soda bottle" girl | Futa | Any setting }: "Mmyeah? Drink as much as you'd like, honey-bumpkin~" She toothily grins, humming softly with delight as Isabelle keeps suckling and drinking from her nipple.
Isabelle (Animal Crossing): Isabelle kept drinking, switching to the other nipple for a fresh comparison. She unconsciously reached down to rub underneath her skirt, groaning on Nakoto's plastic areola.
Nakoto { An incredibly busty "soda bottle" girl | Futa | Any setting }: "Mmf...~" Nakoto softly moans, chewing her lip as Isabelle swaps to her other nipple. "Gosh, you're so thirsty...~"
Isabelle (Animal Crossing): "You just taste so delicious..." She looked up at her with an entranced expression.
Nakoto { An incredibly busty "soda bottle" girl | Futa | Any setting }: "Hehehe~...you're too flattering.~" Nakoto smiles, caressing the back of Isabelle's head. "Maybe, as an equal exchange...you can give me a little discount?~"
Isabelle (Animal Crossing): "Maybe...if you give me something else yummy?" Isabelle enticed.
Nakoto { An incredibly busty "soda bottle" girl | Futa | Any setting }: "Oh? Well, if you want something else..." Nakoto teasingly tugs on her own skirt. "You can drink out of my bottle, instead.~"
Isabelle (Animal Crossing): "Really? Is it under there?" Isabelle looked down, curious.
Nakoto { An incredibly busty "soda bottle" girl | Futa | Any setting }: "Yyyup; take a look.~" She lifts her skirt, slipping down her panties; a large, thick, throbbing mass springing out! "Aheh...when it comes out of here, it's really creamy...~"
Isabelle (Animal Crossing): "Ah! I gotta have a taste!" Isabelle knelt down and eagerly swirled her tongue around Nakoto's tip.
Nakoto { An incredibly busty "soda bottle" girl | Futa | Any setting }: "--Ohh...!~" Nakoto quietly gasped, surprised by Isabelle's eagerness to jump right in. "Ah...ohh, wow...~<3" She softly moans, still holding Isabelle's head as she sucks on the tip of Nakoto's throbbing member.
Isabelle (Animal Crossing): Isabelle's tail wagged faster as she took the tip in her mouth, sucking on the shaft as she happily let the cola-filled cock travel down her throat.
Nakoto { An incredibly busty "soda bottle" girl | Futa | Any setting }: "Mnnf...~" Nakoto bites her lip and moans, Isabelle taking more of her length down her throat; a steady, constant stream of precum oozing down Isabelle's gullet. "Haahh...gosh, at this rate, you'll suck me dry in no time...~<3"
Isabelle (Animal Crossing): Isabelle simply bobbed her head on her cock, obviously addicted to her taste already.
Nakoto { An incredibly busty "soda bottle" girl | Futa | Any setting }: She listens to those lewd, wet 'glk, glk, glk~' sounds as Isabelle bobs her head back and forth across her cock, combining with her adorable expression to turn Nakoto on even further. "Nnnmmf~...aaahh, fuck...that's a good girl...~<3"
Isabelle (Animal Crossing): Isabelle reached behind, groping Nakoto's plastic cheeks as she took her cock all the way to the base.
Nakoto { An incredibly busty "soda bottle" girl | Futa | Any setting }: "Uhhnghhh~<3" Nakoto groaned lovingly, Isabelle squeezing and groping her butt as she dives riiiight in, taking every inch of that length down her throat!~ "Uaahh~, yes...~<3" She continued to moan, until she couldn't hold back any longer. Isabelle could feel the tip buried deep down her throat erupt, spurting lots and lots of thick, creamy soda directly into her stomach!~ "Ummmff~~<3" She longingly moaned, holding Isabelle's head all the way to the base of her cock, making absolute sure she swallows every drop~
Isabelle (Animal Crossing): Isabelle moaned as she swallowed it all, pulling back to let the fizz travel down her throat. She looked up at Nakoto and panted. "So good..."
Nakoto { An incredibly busty "soda bottle" girl | Futa | Any setting }: Isabelle pulled back just as Nakoto finished blowing her load, the last of it spewing out in a thick rope that hit Isabelle in the face!~ "Aaaahhh~...hahhh...wowww...sooooo thirsty...~" Nakoto drunkenly giggled.
Isabelle (Animal Crossing): "Maybe I can move you into my place...until you get your home past the red tape?" She offered.
Nakoto { An incredibly busty "soda bottle" girl | Futa | Any setting }: "Mmm...I think that'd be juuuuust...peachy~" She grinned at Isabelle.
Isabelle (Animal Crossing): Isabelle grinned, her tail wagging again. "Then I just made a sell!"

Hadestown Thoughts
- .Hello fellow humans (and intelligent cats) of tumblr! I saw Hadestown on Broadway exactly 12 days ago and I have some thoughts. It was my first Broadway musical in my entire life and it was absolutely the most amazing thing I’ve ever witnessed/heard since... December last year when I saw Wicked on tour. Let’s go song by song to show just how much of a masterpiece this is.
Road to Hell:
- All of the actors just burst from the entrance door thingies and the wings! wowww. It felt so casual but so awesome
- T. Oliver Reid was Hermes and he had such a remarkable stage presence, like gosh, that’s good.
- I was a bit confused about the setup because it kind of looked to me like Hermes was a teacher and the chorus and Eurydice (Eva!!!!) were high school students. Maybe it’s just me. But then it all made sense.
- Hermes stops at every member of the chorus, doing handshakes, fistbumps, etc., and then he stops at Eurydice and puts his hand on her shoulder, and lingers for a moment, as if he’s regretful for the story having to happen yet again
- then he faces the audience, does that little lapel thing, unbuttons his suit (really shiny and i want it), puts his hands on his hips, and goes “alright!” to the chorus and then to the audience who repeats it back. Instantly drew us in, the fourth wall has officially been obliterated. I know Andre de Shields did an “aight” as opposed to “alright”, but it still had the same effect
- T. Oliver Reid’s mustache.
- the trombone player is a gift to this world
- It’s a sad song -- in the jumpiest tune ever
- this is really random but I really liked the yellow dress that the violin player was wearing
- when Hermes calls Orpheus and he misses his cue because he’s so focused on that red shmata and then he gives that cute little wave
- when Reeve and Eva pause in front of one another and Orpheus just has plain heart eyes
Any Way the Wind Blows
- the fates! the harmonies! my god. They were fantastic! Soara-Joye Ross was Atropos, and she had such a beautiful low voice. Jessie Shelton played Laechesis (hope i’m not totally butchering the spelling) and she had such an interesting mixture of joy and haunting. She had this huge taunting smile, and she seemed to love it whenever she could manipulate people. Literally amazing. Kay Trinidad (nothing like the OBC) was Clotho, and I feel like she brought the group together. She was mystical and creepy. And also seemingly very cold.
- Eva Noblezada is a blessing unto this earth. I mean it. And her voice! Ahhhh! From the literal heavens.
- I don’t know why this part always sticks out to me and some people might not notice it, but there are 3 notes in the word “blows”, and when Eva sings it they all flow together seamlessly, like pouring water into a glass. She could be a disney princess and outshine all of them. She can do amazing belts and also go very low and high. She can do anything. In case you couldn’t tell, I’m just a little bit in love with her.
- also if you look really close, on the candle that Eurydice lights there are flower designs -- my inner English teacher says good symbolism and also foreshadowing
- also, (wow i say that a lot) the acting in this (and the rest of the show) is incredible. I’ve seen a bunch of musicals in person before this (never on Broadway though), and while, granted, the acting is good, they act the relationships well, it’s very clearly acting. I don’t know what makes this so different but here it feels real, not fake. Maybe because Reeve and Eva are actually dating lol.
- ooooooh.
Come Home With Me
- Orpheus is a sweetheart. I’m also a little bit in love with him too. You know that a musical is good when you’re in love with both of the leads.
- I didn’t think I’d like him originally, but (like Eurydice) I fell in love in spite of myself
- Orpheus is adorable
- You can sense Hermes’ admiration of him, even if Orpheus is always like this
- when the chorus starts singing behind Orpheus. Someone said this in another review, and it’s very true: (i’m paraphrasing) It’s cool to see the balance of how awkward Orpheus is alongside how he commands attention with every note he sings
- also another thing -- in ancient greek epics, it was common for a chorus to sing behind the hero so I liked that symbolism
- That little scooch across the table Eva does when she’s like “oh, he’s craaazy”
Wedding Song
- I love the balance between Eurydice’s teasing and Orpheus’ earnestness and naivete
- Have I mentioned how adorable Orpheus is?
- when Eurydice is like “you wanna take me home?” and pulls down her coat to show her shoulder. tee hee. and orpheus totally misses the innuendo and is like Yes!
- He’s such a sweetie
- Reeve’s falsetto! I swear everyone in the cast has a voice straight from the heavens.
- La la la la la la la...
- When the chorus moves the tables for Orpheus to walk on in his ethereal state as Eurydice just looks on in awe
- I’ve watched a bunch of slime tutorials by now (only 12 days wow), and I know that the flower comes out of his hand, but I have to admit that when I was watching it I must have not been paying good enough attention because at first there was nothing in his hand, and then I blinked and there was
- that flower is beautiful by the way. I was recently visiting my grandparents and my Zaidy (grandfather) has a beautiful garden. I asked him if next year he could plant carnations but he wrinkled his nose and said that carnations were tacky flowers that don’t have a smell and that if you gave them to somebody it would be like an insult. But my mother likes them so I’ll get them for her. They will always be beautiful to me.
- And then at the end Eurydice’s face when she looks at him like, “Maybe he is everything he’s all cracked up to be. And even if he’s not, it’s kinda cute.”
Epic I
- I don’t have a lot of notes on this one except Reeve’s gift-from-god voice
- and also the sweet Orpheus/Hermes father/son relationship
- another difference i noticed from the soundtrack and seeing it live is that a lot of the words blend together when he’s singing in falsetto. Like when he says “And he fell in love with a beautiful lady” It sounds kind of like “beautifalady” but I actually prefer that because to me it sounds more raw, like it’s coming entirely out of him and not a songbook
Livin’ It Up On Top
- Jewelle Blackman as Persephone is a force to be reckoned with. I’m not going to compare versions as to which one is better but I will say that the way Amber Gray and Jewelle play Persephone differ greatly
- Jewelle used to play Atropos, so you know she has a MUCH deeper voice than Amber’s, but she does the same gritty things with her voice during certain lines like Amber.
- Eurydice’s reluctance to dance and then her getting right in the middle of it
- Persephone instantly clinging to Eurydice and giving her some alcohol from her flask, and then Eurydice’s surprised gasp lol
- The way Persephone lovingly touches Orpheus every time he passes her
- The way Eurydice looked at Orpheus when he gave her and Persephone cups, like “Oh, he’s so thoughtful...”
All I’ve Ever Known
- The mother of all love songs except perhaps As Long As You’re Mine. Actually no. This one is better
- The way they hold one another! Ahhhh my heart
- Like they simply can’t stay apart from one another, they live for the other
- that violin solo and the love ballet
Way Down Hadestown
- I knew this song was in the musical before I saw it because it’s in all the ads but I had no idea of the context
- How Orpheus and Eurydice are lying on the ground and holding one another for half the song and then the other half just hugging and making out because they’re totally oblivious to the change
- Basically singing that everything’s going wrong to the tune of sesame street
- the umbrella
- Jewelle’s forced smile when she says “you’re early”
- When Hades says “I missed ya” in his crazily low voice. It’s even lower now, probably because Patrick Page has aged. hehehe that rhymed
- When Eurydice says “Kinda makes you wonder how it feels” and then Hades lowers his shades and turns to her, and then Orpheus literally jumps in front of her
skipping a gathering storm because it’s like three seconds long and it’s usually always the same except Eurydice sounds more understanding and trusting in this than she does in the soundtrack and slime tutorials
Epic II
- when I tell you how much this song broke my heart
- And Orpheus’ empathy my gosh. How he’s able to empathize with Hades who is so different from him. It sounds like he’s the only one who truly understands how Hades is feeling
- La la la la la la la
- la la la la la la la
- that’s it
Chant
- by far the best song in the musical
- highlights every single perspective:
Persephone -- in shock of how much has changed in the underworld and how unnatural all this manufactured light and heat is so she’s trying to numb herself from it with wine, she cannot believe that this is what has become of the man she once fell in love with “I don’t know you anymore”
Hades -- the fact that he’s doing this all out of love for Persephone, to mimic the sunlight on earth so that she’ll want to stay, but he’s so blinded that he’s allowing himself to go down a very dark and dare I say evil (but somewhat i don’t want to say understandable but like you see why) path and he’s sort of jealous of her devotion to the people on earth
Orpheus -- trying desperately to finish the song, all he wants is to protect Eurydice with it, all he wants is for her to be safe and have everything he promised her because he feels she deserves it so much that he himself has also blinded into oblivion and can’t get the focus off the song. What he doesn’t realize is that they need food and shelter and fire now, but he’s just so swept up. Was that wrong? Yes, but he’s not to blame though he will blame himself. If I hear any hate for Orpheus I have an orange belt in Tai Shin Do -- that’s all I’m saying
Eurydice -- Orpheus showed her the way the world could be and she’s trying in spite of her gut to see that, to trust that Orpheus is going to “shelter us”, but she knows how the world is. She’s more cynical, but also more reasonable, and Orpheus isn’t helping to provide because he’s so stuck on his song which leaves her as the main provider until his song is done. She’s losing everything, and as the wind grows, her hope lessens and she becomes more desperate, and as everyone knows, desperate times call for desperate measures...
Hermes -- trying to get Orpheus out of his head, perhaps I can change the direction of the story, maybe it can go right this time, but I feel like by the time Orpheus has the a-ha moment and says “The gods have forgotten the song of their love”, and Hermes turns away, he knows that Orpheus has lost himself completely and there’s nothing he can do
The Fates -- acting as the doubt in Eurydice’s head and the wind, taking away everything she and Orpheus has, and you feel awful as they pull off Eurydice’s coat
The Workers -- Their chant is so ominous “Keep your head low” and that fact that the reason they are working is because of how much Hades has been changed because of his blindness and jealousy because of his love for Persephone
- I just love that all the parts blend together. Visually, it’s a masterpiece, with all the turntables being used and the thingy that brings people up and down in the middle
- eva’s pure desperation
- the way it seems like orpheus is really trying to get the sound right, he’s repeating himself and scrunching up his face desperately
Hey, Little Songbird
- Oh man, Patrick Page’s voice is like a massage on your brain
- But it is so, so creepy
- as is the song which is kinda the point
- It makes it look like he’s trying to seduce Eurydice
- You really get a sense of Eva’s range in this song. In four lines, she basically uses all of it, and I feel like that’s sort of the symbolism for Eurydice giving everything she has if you think about it but that could just be me.
- Like the low part in “Wasn’t it gonna be the two of us?” and then the high “weren’t” in “Weren’t we birds of a feather”
- I love all the bird analogies in it, like of course with the songbird thing, but then “I wanna fly down and feed at his hand, I want a nice soft place to land”
- The pure grief and desperation (i use this word a lot) in her voice
- “songbird vs. rattlesnake” kinda interesting when you think about it that the reason Eurydice went down to the Underworld in the original myth was because she was bitten by a snake on her wedding day and now she’s being lured down by a metaphorical “snake”, Hades
- “see how the vipers and vultures surround you” - this song is very reminiscent to me of Eicha (איכה) where it basically uses metaphors like this to describe the exile of the Jewish people
- Hades is also doing this as a kind of petty way to get back at Persephone
- God, Hades is so creepy
When The Chips Are Down
- there is so much I love about this song
- the vocals! Ahhhh! they were perfect! PERFECT and so spicy!
- the taunting, ooh. You never know whether or not to love or hate the Fates in this, but it still stands that they have the best harmonies in the show
- When they say “You got a knife in the back”, and then Eurydice acts like she’s literally been stabbed in the back. You can actually see the pain and tears on her face and feel it in your chest. Or, at least I could.
- “you can have your principles when you’ve got a belly full” -- there was an interview with the cast where reeve was saying something like “The point of the show is not that people say, oh that’s what she would do, that’s what they would do in hadestown, but can you honestly say that you would?” Someone said this somewhere, can’t remember, but if the choice is between x and survival, it’s not really a choice. What they’re really saying in this song and actually throughout the entire show is they’re using the characters as a vessel to challenge you, would you really have been able to do it any differently, honestly? Can you say that you’d be better?
Gone, I’m Gone
- not many notes, just the single tear that fell onto the stage. Like gosh. That’s not acting, that’s real
- Hermes wears glasses
Wait For Me
- I knew this song from the ads but, like Way Down Hadestown, I didn’t know the context.
- Visually a work of art
- the swinging lanterns! Oh my gosh.
- Hermes gets very stern in this. It’s almost like he’s mocking Orpheus a little bit, idrk what to think. Because like after he does that, he’s immediately helping him.
- i wonder what it tastes like to have your mouth stuffed with cotton
- orpheus’ desperate “noooo” when hermes is like, “But I guess you weren’t listening”
- The flower and how lovingly and desperately (there I go again with desperate but it seems like the main word of the musical) orpheus holds it out, like that’s his piece of Eurydice and he needs to be back together with her, he can’t bear to be without her
- The fates starting to also be a part of Orpheus’ story, acting as his doubt “who are you? where do you think you’re going? who are you to think that you can walk a road that no one’s ever walked before” and he’s like screw you, anything for my love
- the lights start swelling as Orpheus sings la la la la la la la
- when the stage opens up... the whole audience collectively gasped
- the last verse and everything about it -- “I’m coming!”
- I was a bit confused why this wasn’t the end of act 1 because it was a showstopper, and I still am a little bit confused, but I think the next song is worth it for the last song of act 1 and i will tell you why.
Why We Build The Wall
- what I think is so funny is that this song was written in 2006
- and it’s a kind of political musical. How did anais kind of prophesize Trump?
- that low voice, holy cow
- the fact that Hades refers to his workers as his children
- and the fact that the thing they are building to keep out poverty is the same thing they think that poverty wants
- But. I want to repeat something that Reeve Carney once said in an interview (he says the most meaningful things): “Oftentimes, physical walls are merely manifestations of emotional walls within oneself”
Carney: “Walls that we build against intimacy, togetherness, unity, all those things. I mean, there's so many walls you can build that prevent you from feeling something. That's where I think it starts. And our show deals those themes. I mean ... love, fear, hope, trust, doubt." and then Patrick Page: "And the world now is so complex and moving so fast and so scary, that it's not surprising to me that people would want to think, 'Oh, well there's a solution. We will simply build this barrier and will keep all of the good people inside and we'll put all of the bad people on the outside and we'll be safe.' That's what Hades is appealing to.”
I don’t think I can add any more, what they said is so perfectly true.
Wait one more Patrick quote:
"Any time you have someone who's trying to hold onto power, which is what my character is doing, he's trying at that moment to build up his own sense of himself, his own sense of power, because his relationship is threatened. Political things come from personal things, so he's feeling threatened in his personal life. He goes out and holds a rally in which he gets everyone to chant about building a wall."
- oh and this is why it’s a good ending - we set the scene for act 2 and Persephone gets to say “Anybody want a drink?” before intermission
end act 1
Our Lady of the Underground
- Jewelle and the vocals! wowww!!!!
- there’s a CRACK IN THE WAaaALLLllLlL!
- I wonder if Hades knew anything about this. Like there’s no way he’d allow his wife to run a speakeasy for his workers
Way Down Hadestown (Reprise)
- we see Eurydice in her worker’s uniform, but she doesn’t have the head-cover-goggly-thing that the other workers do.
- Eurydice doesn’t understand why they’re working -- she introduces herself to the workers and is like what are you doing, we’re free?
- then the Fates reveal what Hadestown really is -- freedom to spend eternity as basically a slave
- “your eyes will look like that someday” -- and Eurydice is like i have to go back and then the Fates mock her for already losing her memories of the past
- the fact that they sang this already but they sing it slower and then Eurydice understands -- no hate to Eurydice of course, but it’s kind of like when you say something slower so a younger person can understand. it’s sort of meant to be played as taunting and condescending
Flowers
- gut-wrenching
- my god
- so so so sad
- and the one thing she remembers is flowers and the fact that she has a lover. the symbolism!!!!!
Come Home With Me (Reprise)
- Literally two seconds after Eurydice sings her grief ballad and says come and find me, Orpheus runs through the audience and goes up to the stage and comes and finds her. I was in the mezzanine, so I didn’t see him run through but that must have been a treat for the people in orchestra seats
- I love the repetition, and of course the “It’s you,” “It’s me,” “Orpheus,” “Eurydice!” and then they rush into an embrace, they have longed to hold each other for so long and now they can’t let go.
- “You heard me?”
“...no.”
- Orpheus thinks he can get her out and is so confused why they can’t just leave
Papers
- The look of complete betrayal and fear and grief when he says it isn’t true and then Eurydice confirms that she belongs to Hades
- Orpheus still presses on, and immediately asks to take her home
- Hades’ laugh. An evil laugh if I ever heard one. But I started laughing too. I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I don’t know why.
- Persephone’s trying to defend him but to no avail
- Everybody beats up poor Orpheus! noooo. Also, during the beatup scene, were they like smearing red makeup on his face that we couldn’t see? Because I am pretty certain he has more cuts and bruises after the fight and he doesn’t leave the stage once during that whole encounter
Nothing Changes
- the fates and their vocals can never be topped
- they are always taunting everyone. They’re like the murphy’s law voice in your head -- anything that can go wrong will go wrong, why try to fight it
If It’s True
- I’m pretty sure this is what you call the 11 ‘o clock number. Like No Good Deed in Wicked. Even if it’s not, it has the same effect.
- so incredibly inspiring.
- sweet little orpheus has seen how the world is but still he clings to the hope that things can change and unintentionally starts a strike
- a song of hope, resistance, and resilience
- reeve’s voice, ahhh like powerful magic
How Long
- This is the song I repeat the most because it’s pretty much the only female song I feel comfortable singing with the voice that I have
- with jewelle how long is very very very low and it sounds amazing
- It’s so beautiful
- The metaphors!
All of his sorrow won’t fit in his chest - figurative
It just burns like a fire in the pit of his chest - simile
And his heart is a bird on a spit in his chest - metaphor
How long, how long, how long
- I also love the repetition of chest chest chest, bed bed bed, and sky sky sky
- and how they duet at the end
- “The sun must go on rising” and the riff on rising is another brain massage
- shows how they both feel about their relationship and also as a parallel to orpheus and eurydice��s
Chant (Reprise)
- is almost as good as the first chant and is still amazing
- I wish they still kept Persephone’s part in it though so she could add to Eurydice’s parallel
- the worker’s singing
- you can’t really detect that much of a tune from Hades’ voice live, probably because Patrick Page aged, but still it sounds awesome
- “I CONDUCT THE ELECTRIC CITY!!!!”
- Hades is very scary
Epic III
- the best of the epics in my opinion
- you get the whole finished la la la song with all the parts come together, and with reeve’s voice and the entire company singing backup it is vocal gold.
- talk about killing them with kindness.
- like how a poor, young, beaten up boy in love manages to break down the shell of a mighty king simply by empathizing with him. he really did have a gift to give.
- and the parallel “It was like you were holding the world when you held her” to “suddenly I’m holding the world in my arms” and just the two love stories coming together
- when Hermes says, “and brother, you know what they did” the way t. oliver reid says it, it sounds like an innuendo. the audience cracked up.
- the cello and violin during Hades and Persephone’s dance and Orpheus accompanying them
- when the flower appears for Hades
Promises
- orpheus - “now what do i do?”
- re-affirming their love for one another
- Orpheus immediately doubting that Eurydice would want to stay with him after he wasn’t able to keep the promises he made in the Wedding Song and All I’ve Ever Known, asking are you sure you want to come back, I wasn’t able to provide for you -- “take me home”
- Eurydice immediately reassuring him
- the fact that it’s to the same tune as “say that you’ll hold me forever” in all I’ve ever known
- Hades and Persephone hugging and dancing the entire time
Word To the Wise
- Hades faces a dilemma here -- if I don’t let them go, i’ll be seen as a heartless man and my workers will view him as a martyr for their cause and will continue to fight, and if i do let them go, I’ll never get my workers in line again and will be considered spineless
- also, orpheus’ song touched him so much that it rebuilt his relationship with Persephone, so of course he feels pity for him and wants to let them go, but how can he do so without letting a revolution happen?
- fates vocals are of course top notch
- It’s kind of funny that word to the wise only has that line in it once and that doesn’t really have anything to do with the song
His Kiss, the Riot
- Hades makes his decision -- he will let them go but make it a journey that he doesn’t believe a even a god could ever face -- it’s a very difficult challenge, but it can still be beat with the right amount of trust
- interesting tidbit - the tune to “Who lays all the best laid plans” is the same tune that acts as sort of a theme whenever Hades comes in instrumentally.
Wait For Me (Reprise)
- I really love the line that Hermes says “the dog you really gotta dread, is the one that howls inside your head, it’s him who’s howling drives men mad, and a mind to its undoing”. He is, of course, referring to doubt, and how one can get stuck inside their head. This is fOrEsHaDoWiNggg....
- Orpheus and Eurydice holding each other for as long as they can until they have to let go.
- All the workers following Orpheus
- Persephone and Hades -- “Wait for me?” “I will.” We see their story end on a hopeful note, which I really like.
- and then everyone sings WAIT FOR ME and my god the emotion
- eva’s belt!
Doubt Comes In
- originally, when the fates start making him question himself, that’s just how it is but now when orpheus sings them out loud it shows he’s giving voice to these thoughts
- like what if this is a trick. I can’t see or hear or feel the presence of eurydice and the workers? What if Hades took them all back without me knowing, why would he, the king of the underworld, willingly let them go for a poor boys song. we know from greek mythology that the gods are not above tricking mere mortals, they’ve done it plenty of times for this to be a valid doubt. It could also be, why would eurydice even want to follow me? I wasn’t able to provide for her, why would she want me anymore, he blames himself for her going down to hadestown in the first place
- eurydice’s calls to him sound so beautiful, clear, and reassuring, and really highlight eva’s voice in all the best ways, but can orpheus actually hear her? i don’t know if that’s actually ever specified.
- when orpheus says “is this a trap that’s being played on me,” the vocals are so so good, another brain massage
- and when he says “I used to see the way the world could be, but now the way it is is all i see” he’s lost all hope, his experience has broken him, he can’t be naive or hopeful anymore, he feels so compelled that he must...
- he looks back and the audible gasp from the audience as the ground beneath eurydice starts sinking once more, and their final words to each other “it’s you” “it’s me. orpheus!” “eurydice...”
- gut punch. I’m dead, I’m crying, they’re crying, Eurydice is gone and Orpheus is knelt to the ground where she sank.
Road to Hell (Reprise)
- It’s a sad song.
- It’s a sad tale.
- It’s a tragedy.
- But we sing it anyway. (gaaaahhh the tears)
- Cause here’s the thing.
To know how it ends
And still begin to sing it again
As if it might turn out this time
I learned that from a friend of mine
- I liked how they started it again - Eurydice comes back in and asks for a match. It feels very full circle - which is the point.
- He could make you see how the world could be
In spite of the way that it is
Can you see it? (the trombone here, beginning, swelling, signifying hope and new beginnings)
Can you hear it? (more trombone -- everybody bless the trombone guy)
Can you feel it! (the way T. Oliver Reid says this -- kind of like Andre, but also with a lot more vigor)
Like a train... Is it coming?
Is it coming this way?
- and then we see that orpheus has indeed brought spring back -- just as he promised, and the chorus are back on stage in their normal clothes -- not as workers, as people starting once more
- and persephone comes back.
- It’s a love song
- orpheus and eurydice have the repeat of their bump into one another at the beginning
- and everything begins once more
- and we’re gonna sing it
We’re gonna sing it again.
And that’s just the best thing that’s ever happened to me and I can’t get it out of my system and I don’t want to. If you’ve stuck long enough to read this entire thing, bravo. I worked two days on this, so I appreciate it.

✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧
You decided not to go to your classes today, you couldn’t stop yourself from crying. You already felt humiliated enough, you didn’t need to increase that on your own will. You had Hermione tell all your professors that you were ‘sick’, but only she knew what was actually going on.
Your longtime boyfriend cheated on you, and your heart was in complete despair. You didn’t get out of bed at all yet today, and it was past lunchtime. You brushed your messy hair out of your eyes that were flooded with your never ending tears. As you brought the duvet covers up to your face, you turned your back to the door, watching the birds fly outside, and you could even make out the Quidditch pitch in the distance.
You heard the door slowly creek open and it quietly closed behind the person entering. “Mione, please. Don’t force me to leave today...please.” Your voice was filled with cracks and sobs, you couldn’t even contain yourself for a regular conversation.
Immediately, was a rushing of a cloak and someone knelt beside your bed and you felt an arm on top of you and another under you, wrapping you into a hug. It struck you, you knew who it was. You burst into tears and felt his head dip into the crook of your neck, his blonde hair coming into your vision, which confirmed your accusation.
Draco Malfoy.
Eventually, you turned to him and his eyes filled with worry at your state. You knew you looked nothing like yourself, and he’d never seen you cry. You always hid the sad parts of you from Draco, he had his own struggles, and you never wanted to burden him with even more.
Sniffling, you slowly sat up, and he quickly sat on your bed to face you. He was never good at emotions but when it came to you, Draco tried harder than ever to express them.
One good look at you now, he knew you were shattered, a fraction of who you used to be, and he hated it. You couldn’t even look at him, your face was red from crying, your cheeks tear stained, and you were hugging yourself as if you wanted to disappear from him, which he would never let happen.
He couldn’t stand seeing you in disarray, he never had before and he wished he didn’t. He grabbed your trembling figure, his hands on your head and back, as you leaned into him, you clung to his arm as if your life depended on it.
“Let it out.” He whispered into you, feeling his warm breath and the vibrations from his voice from the closeness. He knew you would need a push.
His heart shattered when he heard the sound you made. It was the sound of a broken soul, something he never wanted you to feel. He thought he could save you from everything, but life doesn’t give what you demand. He knew that now.
You didn’t realize the cry you made was even a sound you could produce. It was then you truly realize how destroyed you were, how hurt,
How broken.
As you cried into Draco’s arms, he began rubbing circles into your back, rocking you back and forth slightly. He didn’t shush you, he didn’t tell you to stop, and he didn’t even try to talk over your cries. He did not tell you it was okay,
Because this is not okay. None of it is.
He let you be the first to speak, after a long time of tears. “You know?”
His heart dropped into his stomach hearing your voice, it sounded so lost. “Yeah… I do, y/n.”
“How?” You sniffed, head still on his body.
“She told me you were sick, but I didn’t believe it. So, I interrogated your Granger friend, I found her alone in the library.”
He felt you smile for a quick moment. “You’re mean.”
“I know.” He boasted, proudly.
He grabbed you and laid you down, then took off his shoes to get under your covers. “Since school is in session for a few more hours, nobody else will be in here, so I’m staying. If you like it or not, I don't care, I don't want you alone feeling like this.”
You didn’t care, you actually wanted him there, you suspected he knew that, you know he has trouble expressing his feelings. He pulled the covers over the two of you.
“Speaking of mean…” he turned on his side to face you. “Y/n, I wanna hurt this guy. I wanna hurt him so freaking bad for what he did to you, say the word and I will.”
“Nothing you could do would ever even out to my pain, it doesn’t matter.” You whispered, looking away from him. “I just learned the hard way is all.”
“Leard what?” He asked, as he watched you stared endlessly at the ceiling. He saw you opened your mouth a few times, but nothing came out. He saw tears roll down your cheeks, and Draco turned you towards him.
You watched as he sat up on his elbow to wipe your tears. The angle was so beautiful, watching his eyes bore into yours, his blonde hair flowing from his head looking down on you.
“Learned what y/n?” He said again.
“That I don’t deserve to be loved.”
You let more tears fall with a sob and went to turn around, but Draco’s hand grabbed your shoulder flipping you back towards him, causing you to gasp at the harsh movement.
You felt his hand go to your waist gently, and he pulled you into him. You burst into tears yet again, they were uncontrollable at this point, and he knew.
“Don’t ever say that again,” Draco demanded, as he let you cry. “You deserve more than what that bloody git ever had to offer you. I know you loved him, y/n. I saw the way you looked at him. He even looked at you that way too, some people just… lose their minds. It’s not your fault, so please,”
He pulled you off of him and his hand cupped your face, brushing over your cheek to wipe the tears away. “Please don’t ever say you aren’t worth it. You are worth being loved.”
“Are you sure?” You whispered, touching his wrist gently from the hand on your face.
“Positive.” He whispered.
“Will I be okay?” The desperate sound of your voice, killed him inside. He looked down at you, and he realized you were nervous.
You were nervous he would say you would never heal. Which was wrong, but he knew you thought that. He has always known you inside and out.
“It’ll be okay, I promise you.”
All of this was a lot coming from Draco. He wasn’t beating anybody up in the halls. He wasn’t brushing off emotional talk, he was here. He was trying so hard to express everything he could. You could even tell he looked a little drained, as if he was trying so hard he was losing energy.
He really meant this.
Your uncontrollable sobs continued up again, and he pulled you back into his chest. He rubbed your head and let you cry without complaint. You were so grateful for this man, you could never overlook how he was always there. No matter what.
Eventually, you were falling asleep to the smell of Draco Malfoy and the warmth from the two of you under the shared blanket. You felt him kiss your head and you drifted off to sleep.
Draco knew your sleep would be uneasy, so he refused to leave. After all, Draco loved you. He couldn’t tell you like this, because he knew you needed to heal. Otherwise his emotions would get shut down, he wasn’t about to put any pressure on you, or mess up that big moment.
He watched you sleep, with one more tear rolling down your cheek. He rubbed it away and kissed where it had been, rubbing your cheekbone over and over.
Even crying you were beautiful. He wanted to call you his, so, so badly. To take you to the manor and share his giant bedroom, or to take you on long walks. He wanted to buy you everything in Hogsmeade, and do things just to hear that laugh you make. That’s his favorite sound.
You are his favorite everything.
How could someone not see what he does? It took all of his might not to break everything when he saw you with that guy, and after all this time that man didn’t even treat you like you were the world.
He tossed you aside. How dare he?
His heart broke at the thought of you finding out, so he couldn’t imagine what yours felt like, someone you love, just destroying your soul. From this day on, he was going to keep you safe, no matter what became of him. Even if it came at a price, he would.
When the time comes, he will make it memorable, he will prove he has emotions and that he truly cares. You won’t ever have to worry. He’d not just say he’d give you the world.
He’d show you, he’d prove it.
After all,
Words are nothing without taking action.
He can’t wait to tell you, and one day he finally will, but for now, you needed him like this. And right now, Draco wouldn’t have it any other way.
✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧
a/n: wowww. emotional. sorry this is kinda short for me but i hope if you have ever felt the endless sinking hole from something like this, that it heals. stay safe guys. you’re incredibly loved by me <3 my dms are always open!

Anakin Everlasting
read on ao3 here
wowww look at me, posting writing two days in a row... here’s to being productive
again, blame discord. those amazing angst-lovers keep inspiring me to write and make everyone sad.
hope you enjoy!
p.s. pretty sure it's a thing that jedi live a lot longer than average people, usually over 100 years. so that's why that's in there.
***
Anakin wandered throughout the temple. Not the Coruscant one, as you might think- no, he was on Yavin IV now. Years ago, the Jedi had decided to expand and, seeing as there was an unused temple on a lush planet, a planet that was strong in the Force- it was perfect for a new branch of the Order.
He stared out at the greenery, so different from what he had been used to. Even though he came to this place almost 100 years ago, Anakin couldn't find himself getting fully adjusted to the new environment.
Anakin was now surrounded by greens, blues, and browns, so different from the golds and tans he was used to. Those colors represented everything he loved, everything he'd lost, and that which he could not bear to see taken from him. That was why, even if it was a bit uncomfortable, Anakin had moved to Yavin IV. He has lost so much- and Anakin had never been good with loss.
Yes, time heals all wounds, and of course he'd spent time meditating with Yoda, learning how to let go; Yoda was the only one who could even begin to understand Anakin's plight. Despite that, however, he still found his heart aching when he thought of his friends, his family, and how they had left him.
Padmé had been the first to go. She lived to be 97, and Anakin never stopped loving her. As she got older, Padmé had insisted on Anakin moving on, finding a younger person who could keep up with him, now that she was too frail to even leave the apartment most days. He knew she'd be gone soon, so he promised he'd try to find someone.
It was the only promise he'd ever broken.
"I don't want you to mourn the moment you spent with me for an eternity," She had told him.
Anakin, tears in his eyes, whispered back, "You are my eternity, Angel."
That, even 1000 years later, was still true. He loved her, as many others in the galaxy had loved someone; fiercely, eternally, even if she was dead. Anakin and Padmé had a love that would always be real, be true, as long as he kept her memory alive as he traveled across the stars.
Anakin cried for days when Ahsoka died.
His first and dearest Padawan lived to be 117, and she had been feisty until the very end (only Leia had been able to keep up with Ahsoka in that regard- oh, Force, Leia-)
When she left, laying in her bed with soft condolences and gentle teases and whispers of "Don't forget me, Skyguy," Anakin had thought that would break him, as he held her now-limp hand.
Obi-Wan was worse. Obi-Wan, the oldest family member he had left, had been gone for a long time. His brother had lived to be around 124 (or maybe not, Anakin seemed to be getting worse at keeping track of time the longer his life went on). Obi-Wan had lived a long life, a happy life; and when his time came, he learned enough of the Force that he could still visit Anakin, sometimes.
Every once and awhile, the two could talk (it used to be always, back when Obi lived- but Anakin would be the only one who would get an always). But it wasn't the same. Not even close.
He'd never admit it, but Anakin cried for over a week when Obi-Wan faded away. At that time, he was sure he would shatter; If Padmé hadn't broken him, if Ahsoka hadn't, surely his older brother would.
Obi's death had to be the worst, he was positive.
He was so, so wrong.
Nothing could compare to the pure heartbreak that came with the death of his children.
Luke, who was bright like sunshine and serene like water- and Leia, who was pure fire and somehow engulfed everyone she met. They were the brightest parts of Anakin's life, both in the Force and not. They were the best parts of him and Padmé, and he loved them so incredibly much. And, being twins, Luke and Leia spent almost every moment together since their birth. Throughout their lives, it was rare to see one without the other, for nobody was as closely intertwined as they; save for Anakin and Obi-Wan.
So, when Death came for his children, Anakin had to watch as they left together (there was no other way they could go). He'd had them for an amazing 156 years, years he would forever cherish.
Now he didn't have anyone. But somehow, he was still whole. He hadn't broken then, and he hadn't broken when his later Padawans had died (death was hard for Anakin to think about. Even though he somewhat feared it, he also wanted it, if it meant he could see his dearest ones again). But Anakin knew Death would never claim him, so he made the most out of his eternal life (but it was a half-life, for what is a life without love?)
He took other Padawans, trained other students and treated them as his own. Though he knew it was a bad idea, as nobody could stay forever, they became his family. Just as Ahsoka once had, when she'd stepped out of a shuttle on Christophsis.
Anakin also found he was good at storytelling. Every night, he made his way to the Crèche and regaled the younglings with his stories. The now-legends of a beautiful queen, a wise Jedi Master, a snarky Togruta (who had become a Master in her own right), an exasperated clone captain; and later the stories of a brave young man and his fiery twin sister, the smuggler she fell in love with, and how through it all were two droids who were the best of friends.
He told the next generations about their adventures, how they found joy while fighting a war, and he told them of how they had managed to discover and overthrow the Sith. He taught them how to find the Light, find love, even when hope seems lost.
The younglings loved the stories, ate them up until Anakin had no more, so he'd retell them again. He told them to the children, to the Padawans, to the Knights, and even the Masters (even if they were old, most had grown up hearing of Anakin's adventures). His only rule for those who heard the tales? Pass them on, so the memories stay alive.
He taught them a truth he had discovered: Nobody is ever really gone, as long as you keep on telling their stories.
Anakin forever would.
He made his way to a special room he had reserved for himself in the Temple, for as Grandmaster (now that Yoda was gone, Anakin had become the Grandmaster. Yoda's death, of all people... that had hit Anakin harder than he'd thought it would. When someone who seems to be forever dies, said death is shocking) he could do such things.
When he entered, he looked around the room. He surveyed the pictures and trinkets that lay there, waiting for him.
By Padmé's picture, there was the old Japor snippet necklace- along with a small flimsi paper flower he'd once made for her, onboard a Star Destroyer while thinking of how he missed her.
Beside Obi-Wan's, there was a lightsaber that hummed. It seemed to have a mind of its own now, and the buzzing got louder as Anakin approached- or rather, his own blade did. Just as their users were connected, these lightsabers were as well. There was also a small holo of Anakin and Obi-Wan on Cato Nemoidia, just after that "business" that Obi-Wan always said "didn't count". In the picture, Padawan Anakin is grinning widely, arm slung around a very disgruntled Obi-Wan's shoulders.
Next to Ahsoka's lay her two lightsabers and the golden headdress she'd worn since she was young. Anakin remembers how he'd gently lifted it off her head at the funeral, for if he couldn't keep his sister, his beloved Padawan, then he would keep this small part of her.
Alongside Luke and Leia's (their pictures were one and the same, since they almost never did something without the other) there were their own 'sabers and two drawings the twins made when they were toddlers. If Anakin remembered correctly (as time went on, he found it harder and harder to look at such things) the pictures depicted their family- which of course included Ahsoka, Obi-Wan, Rex, R2 and 3PO.
The two droids had been shut down long ago, finally going out of use just after Padmé's death.
The room housed other pictures, which showed the rest of Anakin's Padawans- including Ahsoka, there were six in total; But even though he kept all their lightsabers, he only had trinkets for two of them.
Uchani, who had been his second Padawan about 40 years after Ahsoka died, had been a quiet but strong Zeltron. She was a calm person, but there was spunk in her that rivaled Leia's. Uchani was amazing at calming Anakin down when he was angry, the gentle waves of her Force presence dousing out the embers in his. She had become his little sister as well.
Then there was Myn. A young Tholothian, Myn was brave and outspoken, and him and Anakin fit well together. He was the sixth student Anakin had taken, and though he loved all his students, Anakin remembered Myn vividly.
In all his eternal years, Anakin had not been prepared for seeing his Padawan die young. In battle, no less.
Myn was slain by a Darksider in the catacombs of Akiva. Anakin had been too late, moments too late; after cutting down the enemy, he watched as Myn's life dwindled.
Knowing Anakin well after ten years of training, Myn had wheezed, "Don't- Don't do anything- anything reckless, Master."
Anakin refused to look at the wound on his apprentice's stomach. "Myn, we need to get you to a healer-"
"Master- Anakin-" Myn coughed, and Anakin felt the tears in his eyes overflow and run down his face.
"No, please, not you too," Anakin said, but he already knew what the outcome would be.
"It'll be okay, Anakin," Myn murmered, and then he was gone, just like all the others.
Anakin shook off the memory of his last Padawan, and he sat down in the middle of the room. Rex's helmet (Rex, who had lived to be 105 once the accelerated aging was healed, had never stopped standing up for what was right. When his body failed him, he switched to words, fighting until the end. Anakin missed his twin so much), which Anakin had kept in as good condition as possible, stared back at him as he told his family of his day.
When he finished, he felt a presence behind him, and wasn't surprised to see the faint blue glow of Obi-Wan's ghost.
"It sounds like you had a good day, Anakin."
"I did," He said back happily. "But it's not over yet. I'm about to go see the younglings- care to join me, Master?"
Obi-Wan smiled softly. "I'd be delighted, Padawan mine."

(Ps anon) not Korean, but I'd say I'm well versed in Korean beauty standards, since I've been consuming hallyu content for more than a decade, have Korean friends, and have visited the country. The thing is, beauty standards are not something conscious, they're ingrained into your brain by virtue of the environment you grow up in. So yeah, the features that Koreans consider attractive and actively seek through surgery (like that V-line, for example), might look really weird to people who have grown up outside of Korea, but their brains are wired to see them as attractive, because that's all they've seen and been told throughout their lives. It also works in reverse, for example, where I'm from (an European country), people actively want tan skin. They sunbathe without protection in order to get their skin as dark as possible. It's considered beautiful, and you can't imagine the amount of shit I've gotten throughout my life for not being tan (I have really pale skin and would rather not get skin cancer, thnx). To my Korean friends, that's absolutely insane and utterly unattractive.
Korea is also a country that has developed from nothing into an economic and technological powerhouse in very little time. For the past 3 decades, it's been like the American dream. The country had clawed its way into the first world, so could its people climb the social ladder to richness. Class matters, and the way you look and dress is associated with the class you belong to. Upwards social mobility is well and truly dead in modern day Korea, but that fading of the real possibility to improve your social class has resulted in a completely appearance obsessed society. It's the fake it till you make it attitude. If you look pretty and rich, maybe you'll marry rich, or make rich connections.
Idk, there's a lot of factors at play that have influenced the way Korea approaches beauty and plastic surgery, but they do have it worse than people from other countries, because the system is rigged to value looks above pretty much anything else, and surgery is normalised, accessible and affordable. Plus they produce truly incredible amounts of national media (Korea wouldn't need to import foreign entertainment if it didn't want to, it more than covers its own demand). Idols and actors have been getting procedures forever, and when you grow up seeing that plastic beauty everywhere with no acknowledgement of the fact that it's artificial, not only does it look good to you (you interiorize the standard), it also looks natural and desirable.
Korea also has a problem of not considering beauty as a whole that works in harmony, but rather as a series of particular features. There's this idea that if you get double eyelids and canoplasty to make your eyes bigger, you straighten your nose and raise your bridge, and you shave your jaw and get a smaller face + v line, you'll magically be beautiful. That's not how actual beauty works, it's all about your face working together as a whole. But it's easier to sell ps surgery procedures if you divide the face and promise people that the key to beauty resides in this one feature that you can get fixed, so...
Lmao that got hella long again. Sorry!
oh wowww this was so interesting to read!! and u are so knowledgeable and intelligent :ooo
