How tf have I ricocheted into two Greek mythology fandoms that have no business being this good while still unfinished that I have also joined in the most convenient time plausible.
*i didn't incl all i want for christmas bc like. obviously it's the best one this is for second place. these are all originals, but if you like a cover better you can consider that version
also obviously i can't incl everything, tag your fave i missed!
So, we know very little about Faramir and Lothíriel's relationship beyond the facts that a) they're first cousins and b) they marry siblings.
They're first cousins through a particularly important family tie across many cultures (Faramir is her father's sister-son). And although he looks like a young man, he's actually quite a bit older than Lothíriel is. But we have such bare table scraps about Lothíriel herself that there's really very little to go on.
The parallel between their marriages has always interested me, though, even if my take on Éomer/Lothíriel is decidedly unromantic. So I like to imagine that there is a bond of some kind there that influenced that parallel, even if the age gap (and potentially, distance) complicates things and she's the baby of their generation of Adrahil's descendants.
Faramir wouldn't actually describe her as his baby cousin or whatnot, given his speaking style and the norms of their culture, but I can imagine his description of her to Éowyn or Éomer or both giving the impression of someone very young and comparatively dainty. And then it turns out that she's over six feet tall with elaborate black braids, the education, manners, and habits of a Númenórean princess—and, like certain relatives, she has a preternatural command over horses.
When you get this ask could you perhaps maybe bless us with 5 of ur fav songs (currently or of all time), and then send this ask to 5 of your moots who you think have good taste! <33
ahhh of course!! And thank you for the ask my friend <333
“Morning Has Broken” by Cat Stevens. I’ve listened to this song since I was little and it just brings me a lot of joy :)
”The Garden” by The Crane Wives! I especially love the vocals in this song. (look at me trying to sound all fancy XD)
“Waltzing Matilda” by Dan Zanes. Another nostalgic song for me, but it’s also really pretty lol
“He Lays In The Reins” by Calexico! I just really love this one.
“Secrets - Cellar Door” by Radical Face. Actually all of the songs by this artist are my favorite…
Ok this probably sums up my music taste pretty well tbh!
A bunch more music I’m throwing in here bc i love music too much is under the cut but pls don’t worry abt it unless you want to XD
Honorable mentions (I couldn’t decide): “Saturn” by Sleeping at Last, “Inkpot Gods” by The Amazing Devil, “Bees” by the Ballroom Thieves!
And some instrumental songs bc they’re kinda a completely different thing to me lol: “Sogno Di Volare” by Christopher Tin, “Hope” by James Newton Howard, “The Island”by David Garcia Díaz, “Eno Cordova’s Theme” by Gordy Haab, “Village of Rynoka” by David Fenn, “Clock Town” by Time De Man!!
sorry but yall are lying to yourselves when you say j*seph k*hns music videos were not the top 5 ones she has ever done like as if the horribly color graded conceptually hodgepodge music videos she made post him are somehow an improvement over "bad lighting" aldhalaja
lmao my curiosity got the better of me so i went and checked out the new t*ylor sw*ft song and... jesus christ. this woman must think her life a disney movie or smth with her as the princess that she herself writes soundtracks for
Hi!! Do you like Raggedy Ann? Also how old are your Ocs?
I do!!! Big fan of Raggedy Ann and Andy: A Musical Adventure specifically, it very quickly became a massive comfort movie for me after I watched it. I’m not super big on any of the other animated media for it nor most of the dolls but I have an Antique Annie and Andy (idk if those are they’re actual names but that’s what it says on their tags) at home which are super cute (I also don’t have any pictures of them atm but I’ll rb this post with them when I can) and I am also OBSESSED with the Danbury mint Sweet Valentine dolls. They are SO cute and I really want them but all the eBay listings for them are over $100 and I don’t know if I can justify that purchase to myself
As for my ocs, I don’t really have any concrete ages for them but the relative ranges:
Axyl: 15-16
Essi: 16-17
Kosuke: 16-17
Juno: 15-16 (notably Juno is younger than the previous 3 though since they’re teenagers during the main saga while Juno’s this age during shogun steel, which is 7 years after the end of the main saga)
Emilia is 10 and Pierre is 7 (again post-main saga) but I’ve actually been thinking abt making teenage designs for them bc small children are hard to draw man
Ryoma and Victoria when they first meet are both in their late 20s, they have sakyo when they’re early/mid 30’s, and Ryoma passes away like 4-ish years later while Victoria’s around 40 by the time she dies. I think Victoria’s probably like a year older than Ryoma though.
Luther and Ezekial: Both somewhere in their mid-late twenties. I’d say probably approx 27-ish, give or take
More kazooieposting because why not. What's your favourite stage theme?
let's see... with kazooie, it's probably clankers cavern because i just really like clanker. he's so cool and i like hanging out with him.
with tooie, while i feel like it's everyones favourite, it's gotta be witchy world. it's just such a fun world overall that it's hard to pick anything else.
Hi Li-Li !! I'm a little curious, what other kpop groups do you like ? hope you don't mind me asking
have a nice day 💜
HELLO JUNE!!!🧡💛🧡💛
HOHOHO THERE'S A LOT OF GROUPS. I like listening to a lot of groups but it's mostly the older generation groups. As you already know, I love shinee but I also love exo, snsd, Kara, f(x), 2ne1, shinhwa, miss a, girl's day, sistar, tvxq, red velvet, clc, blackpink, twice, bts - LIKE THE LIST GOES ONNNNN.
KARA? THEY'RE THE QUEENS OF DANCE POP LIKE MISTER? STEP? MAMMA MIA? LUPIN??
SNSD? GIRLS GENERATION?? GIRLS GENERATION MAKE YOU FEEL THE HEAT
SISTAR?? THE QUEENS OF SUMMER??
LIKE GIRL GROUPS WILL ALWAYS BE SUPERIOR TO ME BC THEY ALWAYS HAVE SUCH GOOD MUSIC.
However, my ult groups are shinee and exo! Shinee's one of the first groups I got into in 2014 and they'll always have a special place in my heart :')
I also like 4th Gen groups as well! Newjeans comes to mind (their songs are so catchy) along with Le sserafim (YUNJIN SLAYY)
how can i call this intimacy
if i crave sharp edges
but your edges aren't even edges
they are soft landings
how do i teach myself
to accept a healthy love
if all i’ve ever known is pain
