There weren't too many wet days this past month; but every time the skies would roll out grey and dull, I'd listen to September In The Rain! I truly believe there is an Oscar Peterson song to fit any variation of my moods!

The handsome and talented Glenn Herbert Gould born 25 September 1932 in Toronto, Canada, was a Canadian classical pianist. He was considered one of the most famous and celebrated of the 20th century pianists, and was renowned as an interpreter of the keyboard works of Johann Sebastian Bach. Certainly too was he considered to be something of a controversial figure, not only in his private life which was shrouded in mystery and many rumors abound about his phobias and pill-poppings for a number of maladies, many of which was imaginary. His sexuality was also questionable which was assumed to be asexual or gay. Also his pianism had invited controversy at least on three of his solo piano recordings: Mozart's Rondo a la Turca and Beethoven's Appassionate and Moonlight Sonatas. All mainly due to the interpretation choices of tempo, either were too slow or too fast as compared to the traditional versions of most pianists at that time. He died sadly on 4th October 1982 at the age of 50 of a stroke 🔥🎹📸

I rang Ava early this morning and played Oscar Peterson's I've Got My Love To Keep Me Warm in lieu of Happy Birthday!Although, technically, physically; I don't. We're at the moment on different continents, and often, we're not even on the same day. But we've got each other, and we're happy; and that, I believe, does keep us warm, alright!

Thank you so much for this AMAZING poll idea, sorry to bombard your probably v full inbox but...! I would also like to add some Plummer-ganda and say: this man really DOES have the range. Yes, Christopher Plummer's Captain is a dreamboat. But that was his romantic role BREAKTHROUGH age 36[!], and was known more for his suave, cunning bad guys and historical/ period drama gents that anyone would swoon for. Gave us a Sherlock portrayal to rival Rathbone, Brett, et al. . We could have lived in an alternate universe where he played Dr Dolittle alongside Sammy Davis Jr, and was a top choice for Gandalf in 2001. He's still the ONLY Canadian actor to win the triple crown of acting. If you want to watch more of his work I would personally recommend: - Hamlet at Elsinore - Inside Daisy Clover - Return of the Pink Panther - Murder by Decree - Waterloo [mostly just to look at him do his thing, don't worry about the rest] A highly accomplished pianist, DID sing in stage musicals [as much as TSoM would suggest otherwise], a lover of nature, encouraged education and study in everyone, and was the most polite, thoughtful, kind and devoted friend and partner.
Also..... I implore anyone to look through his tag on here. This man has fan edits and vid compilations GALORE. Thank you again! xxx
Thank you for this informative propaganda!

SALTWATER MELODIES CHAPTER 37
Mila looked back and forth at both of them, mouth flapping silently. “How?” she finally asked.
“We have no idea,” Viktor said. “Probably magic.”
“Magic is not real,” Chris sputtered.
“Sure looks real to me,” Yuri said.
After falling into a magical lagoon during a once-in-a-lifetime eclipse, music students Viktor, Mila, and Yuri find themselves transforming into merfolk whenever they touch water… and considering that they live on the coast, that’s probably going to cause some trouble. Things get even weirder when they discover strange powers that may have bigger effects on their daily lives than they could ever imagine.
Add to the mix a thalassophobic pianist, a marine biologist (possibly cryptozoologist) who might actually be completely insane, and a treasure-hunting Canadian… one thing’s for sure: their lives sure just got a whole lot more interesting.
Start from the beginning HERE / new chapter HERE
Chapter preview under the cut!
Tuesday afternoon, when Yuri was headed to his last class of the day, his English Lit teacher caught him in the hallway.
“Yuri, the principal called me a minute ago. She needs you in the office; you’re excused from ninth period.”
Yuri stared at her. “Why?”
“She didn’t say,” his teacher answered, looking uncomfortable. “But… she did say your parents just arrived.”
Yuri hadn’t spoken to his mom in a couple of days; she was staying at her coworker’s house, sleeping on the couch, and mostly texted Yuri when she wasn’t busy with… something. Every time she called Yuri to talk to him, it turned into a one-sided conversation where she was trashing Dad about his choices, trying to get Yuri to agree with her.
The last time they’d talked, he’d hesitated to say anything nasty about Dad, and Mom had gotten so angry that she’d hung up on him before he could defend himself. Yuri had remembered how stressed out Dad and Dedushka had become, and how Dad would sit at the kitchen table surrounded by papers that looked like bills and receipts, and he couldn’t bring himself to be angry at Dad for Mom leaving.
Especially since the real reason Mom had left had been… Yuri himself.
For a long, stupid moment, Yuri wondered if they were pulling him out of school to tell him they were getting counseling, and Mom was moving back in. But his gut told him otherwise. He waved goodbye to his teacher and headed downstairs to the main office, feeling like one of the accused witches in The Crucible walking to the gallows.
In this chapter: Yuri's life takes a sharp turn for the worse, in more ways than one.

Barbie really is over qualitfied for this. Probably can't have her had done all these jobs if she is around 20-30. But still. Barbie is over qualified for S.T.A.R.S. Also thank @thevoidlord23 for your encouragement :D Made me really start digging into this AU ❤️
Also my bestie hates that this is happening, regrets telling me about Detective Barbie: The Mystery Cruise :D If you have any ideas lemme know!

moot game! ship your moots with an idol and give them a trope!
I’m gna do the mutuals i talk to most and know most about… 😭
@hoonvrs + sunghoon from enha: are we shocked cs i’m not!!!! they would def be like golden retriever x black cat ykwim LIKE saints cigs smau but kinda diff LMAOO their love story would definitely have a silly and happy ending and their goofy climax/downfall would be ummmm OOO they promised to play msp each other but the other forgot 😂😂 LMAOO OR ENEMIES TO LOVERS CS SAINT IS ALWAYSSS FIGHTING ON MSP SO SHE WOULD DEF BEEF W SUNGHOON ON MSP 😭😭
@joomiu + mark from nct: my fave ‘canadians’ (inside joke 😂) they would be cute don’t even. their trope would be friends to lovers for sureee. LMAOO remember when saint was trying to make u a tag nat and went “boy to my shirt” (i still laugh at this) That would def be their way of asking each other out “mark would u be the boy to my shirt” BUE no cs if they had a story abt them i would def read it in one sitting ……..silly x silly It’s perfect.
@weoris + dk from svt: as much as i HATE to say it…. they would match pretty well. their vibes r similar and their energy is also the same. they say the most random stuff yet everyone starts dyinggg of laughter (I’m everyone loud and PROUD) their trope would be rivals to lovers w their friends playing matchmake. Like imagine their friends all decide to hangout without each other knowing they’re both gna be there (?) and when they meet up the two r like Um wtf! def became rivals in the stuco i do Not make the rules 🙏
@soov + kai from txt: are we shocked it’s not jungwon?!?!?!?! anyways they’d be like umm classmates to lovers (?) Like they attend the same orchestra lessons (IS THAT EVEN A THING) and js admire each other from afar. LIKE THOSE POETIC AND FORMAL LOVE STORIES AWW and they’re shy when it comes to each other Ooooo hear me out. rei would def be the one to make the first move tho Idk how she’s so bold (i don’t think she is 😭 LMAOO)
@hanniluvi + jake from enha: now this hear me out. academic rivals to lovers okay Okay? one of them is like “okay guys!!! time for my academic comeback” and is going sooo well until the other shows up and ruins their whole streak LOL like that would acc be cute idc what anyone says. Imagine their love story was a smau…. they’d def argue in variables at some point ☠️☠️☠️☠️ Yes soph i’m starting the very very smart soph agenda TRUSTTT ur number one fan 🙏
@flwoie + hyunjae from tbz: OOOOO they remind me of one of my olddd fics where they were strangers to lovers and fell in love at first sight. walking their dogs (sona do u even have one…) and Maybe sona’s dog (i swear u do Not have a dog) starts going ballistic and runs to hyunjae and his dog making her spill her coffee on his shirt!!!!! she’s apologizing like crazy and he’s js saying it’s okay and stuff and they’re both js chatting trying to come to a mutual agreement of how to deal w the incident while their dogs r js playing together. Then after that. they both go home and text their friends like there is NOOO tmrw abt the person they js saw 😂😂😂 their dogs would def be playing matchmaker LMAOO
@jongsie + riwoo from bnd: i feel like riwoo would be HELLA good at arguing w people and so is rae when it comes to fighting me istggg 😒😒😒 so therefore they’d have a lovers to exes to enemies to lovers type trope DANG THAT WAS LONGGG. they’re bickering and shit and when their friends are like “js kiss already gosh” and yes they get flustered and ‘disgusted’ at the thought when in reality they wouldn’t mind doing that….LMAOO! i think me listening to yours by raiden, chanyeol, leehi, and changmo is doing something…
@yenqa + jay from enha: OKAY! final mutual and i’d say their trope would be strangers to lovers and guitarist x pianist like think abt it they’re both musical geniuses who enjoy to play instruments in the abandoned music classroom at their school . They also had many chances to meet each other but were always one step delayed/ahead of one another sooo they never met Until they did!!! and hit it off immediately ykwim??? idk if that made sense but. they would def be greattt friends at first and the time either of them (leaning more towards jay) fall in love is when they watch the other (yen ofc!!!!) play at their school’s festival cs they look amazing and the tune sounds beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(bye i’m gna write all of these. they were acc such good ideas wth TIME TO MAKE THE SYBOPSIS!!!)

Hey Fish, I'd like to hear your thoughts on Abigail!
Sexuality Headcanon: Bisexual (seriously need to finish that Amber/Abigail pwp fic)
Gender Headcanon: Cis woman, but I haven't thought about it too much (maybe she hasn't either, idk)
A ship I have with said character: Abigail/Skwisgaar ;;0;;, Abigail/Amber, and I still have a soft spot for Abigail/Charles even though I hc him as gay, Abigail/Magnus in the veerrrry specific context I set up in that old fic I wrote (they bond pre-dsr over their shared frustration with Dethklok, but Abigail sees Magnus as a dark mirror into what she could become if she lets her anger fester, so she bounces)
A BROTP I have with said character: Abigail + Charles + Knubbler (they go on work retreats)
A NOTP I have with said character: Again, I really don't have notps. As long as people aren't weird.
A random headcanon: She's Afro-Caribbean, she's Canadian, she likes noise music, her mother was a classical pianist, she's now in a place in her career where she can insist people use her full last name instead of calling her "Abigail R.", had her first queer experience in a night club in Brussels, she does really hard crosswords because she likes to push herself but she always does them in pencil because there's still a part of her that still has doubts.
General Opinion over said character: Mtl really went off making a woman who I believe someone would tank a career and a life-long friendship for. But in all seriousness, I think she's a fun character. I love how she has a weirdo streak instead of her just coming in as a stale love interest (which she does kinda become unfortunately). Most of my complaints are "I wish she was weirder" or "I wish she had more screentime," so the pieces were there I guess.
