All to well

No real happy ending 🧣happy heart break fall!

Waking up in a cold bed, in an empty apartment was a deep burn. It burned you yet the hands of a cold man ripped out your heart. Every day with him was like pure daylight. The soft morning kisses, the laughs, and giggles. His eyes flashed in your mind. You looked for him in dim lit rooms. You had to admit that he was a stranger whose laugh you could recognize anywhere. James Barnes never was one to fall so deeply he told you so himself when the two of you first started to date. Now 10 years later no longer 17, you stood watching your husband dance with another woman. Soon-to-be ex-husband.

You don't know where it went wrong, where, why when your husband stopped loving you. But he did. After 10 years of being together 8 being married, one day he came home and told you the last thing you thought you'd hear. He was never late coming home, he never hid his phone, and right up until he told you he was affectionate and loving. You watched as he twirled her around the dance floor, she was younger maybe 22 give or take. The hurt ever so grueling never subsided, you began to walk to the exit away from him and the ballroom full of people and friends. Just as you stood straight pushing yourself away from the wall you had been leaning on his eyes locked with yours. And for a whole second words he would never tell you were shared. His eyes were smug, sad, and in love all in one. He loved her. You glanced away looking around the room but avoiding his gaze that still sat on you. You walked away. With your dress, and beautiful hair flowing down your shoulders, truly a goddess. Just as your night was about to be ruined, a man stopped you. His dark curls swept back, his glasses perched on his nose and his lips light pink. His height towering over you.

“May I have this dance?”

“I-i yes” you stumbled out shocked a man would look at you like James did.

Frank Sinatra's voice carried throughout the room, it was yours and James’ first dance song at your wedding.

The man glided on the floor with you, you were an excellent dancer. People stopped to watch the two of you dance including James. His eyes watched in sorrow, he thought he didn't want you, he thought he wanted to explore. But hearing the song transported him back to the day he first met you, how he begged you to let him have a chance. To your wedding day how he promised to love you forever and then he meant it. Yet now he realized he always would. He knew his chance with you was over but he would never love the other girls like he did his first wife.

The years swept on, you got married again to the man you met on the dance floor. You loved him deeply yet sometimes your brain would push fantaizes of what if he were James. And old memories rushing into your heart making you forget that things were different and that the man walking through the door getting home from work wasn't him. You loved the other man but your heart couldn't love him like your first husband. Sometimes love isn't enough. Now at 37 years old in the same ballroom just 10 years later you saw him again. His eyes and yours met and they spoke all the words that were stuck in his throat. All the ‘I love yous’ I miss yous’, ‘I want you back, ‘I wish you were her’. The two of you slowly walking towards each other with heartbroken smiles, two hearts that were ripped away from each other finally meeting again.

“I'm sorry” his hand meeting your waist

“I know”

“I love you baby girl” he whispered his eyes taking you in, he continued

“You've grown so much, your not my girl anymore huh.”

“37” you replied trying to hold your broken heart together for just one more minute.

“I’ve been in love with you since I was 18 years old, what am I doing?” he asked ashamed

“You didn't want me James” you spoke tears falling, James placed his hand on your cheek wiping away your tears with his thumb.

“I know and I'm the dumbest man for it” he whispered, his lips locking with yours one last time to savor the hurt and unfinished love.

That night James went back home with his 4th wife and you went back home to your husband.

That was the last time you saw James in person but you knew he watched over you. He was still all over, in the dim light of the grocery store line you'll catch a sniff of his cologne, his laugh, or his voice. You'll be walking in a cafe or the mall and see him, yet in a glimpse, he's gone. One day a lone pink lilly was placed on your door with a note.

‘I remember it all too well. I was there, sacred prayer, it was rare. You remember it all too well.”

This is what inspired this fic (it’s a video)

11:30….30 minutes to midnight. You were still in the same position you've been in since you've woken up: staring at the wall. Your New Years Eve was nothing to celebrate, it was just another reminder that your family was in America and that you were alone.

And it wouldn’t be help since your boyfriend was busy. You were supposed to spend the evening together, but he called last minute saying he had something come up. He didn’t give details, and you were too hurt to ask.

11:32…28 minutes left of the year. It didn’t seem so bad, it was better than sitting there and doing nothing. You could go out with your neighbors. They had been good to you, and you liked their company, but the thought of being a third wheel for their New Years celebration didn't appeal to you. So that wasn't an option. Maybe a movie would take your mind off things. You could rent something or put on one of those countdowns to watch. You knew it wouldn’t be as entertaining as actually spending the night out, but it would help the time go by faster.

You stood up from your spot on the bed and headed to the living room to get the remote. 11:37...21 minutes until the new year. The only things on were news or those countdowns you dreaded watching. But if you didn’t want to stay in the bedroom the entire time, you'd have to put up with it. You settled on the local news channel. At least you wouldn’t be bombarded with cheesy songs or the same hosts from years past. And they were talking about the upcoming year.

"What will you do to start your New Year off right?" One of the anchors asked. You thought for a moment, you didn’t know how you were going to start this year off. Maybe alone like you were now. "I don't know. What about you, Mike?"

"Well, I plan to spend time with my loved ones and maybe go on a date or two. Maybe a romantic picnic."

"Ooooh, a romantic picnic? You never mentioned wanting to do that before. Is there a special lady that has your heart?"

"That's a secret, and don't think I forgot about you, Linda. What are you going to do for the New Year?"

"Probably spend time with my kids, and make sure I visit my family more." The anchors went on to talk about other resolutions, and you didn't bother to pay attention to them. It's not like they'd give you any ideas

11:44, 15 minutes left in the year. You were still staring blankly at the television, the anchors had changed topics to the weather, and you could have cared less. You looked at the clock and wondered if you should even bother to stay up until midnight.

There wasn't anything special about the new year. All the hype and fanfare was a waste of time, and a lot of money. People were willing to spend thousands of dollars on New Year's decorations, and parties. If it weren’t for all that, then people would have just stayed home and watched the ball drop.

Your thoughts have begin to turn. From gazing lately at the TV to wondering what your New Year’s resolution was. It was a silly tradition. Making a goal that was either going to be broken in a matter of weeks or not even done. You were sure you weren’t the only one that had thought that, and you weren’t the first person to not keep a New Years resolution. You could name a couple that you've tried to stick to in the past, but failed.

One was to stop spending so much money on sweets, but that ended as soon as you passed a bakery. Another was to eat healthier. That lasted until you saw a pizza advertisement, and then you had to order one. And the one that always stuck out the most was trying to spend more time with family. But how could you when they were so far away, and you had school and work to worry about.

You shook your head and pushed those thoughts away. Why should you even bother to try this year, when the past ones were a fail. It would be a waste of time and effort. And a lot of other people would end up doing the same thing.

You had decided to just get ready for bed, it's not like you'd miss much if you went to sleep. It's not like your boyfriend would care.

11:47, 12 minutes left of the year, and you were headed towards the bathroom. You were surprised when you didn't see any signs of a party or noise coming from the apartment across from yours. You were expecting some kind of celebration. But there was no loud music or the sound of talking. It was oddly quiet, and it was unsettling. Maybe you were hearing things, and that there was some sort of get together going on. Or they were all asleep.

You walked back to your bathroom and started to wash your face. You tried not to think of the fact that the only people that would probably be awake with you would be the people in the buildings next to yours. And that wasn't much to look forward to.

You finished cleaning your face and turned off the water. As you reached for the towel you felt the ground rumble beneath your feet. At first, you thought it was an earthquake, but then you heard the fireworks go off. You were quick to the window and peered outside.

You could see the sky was filled with red and gold fireworks. Each one bigger than the last, and each one louder than the next. You could even see them from the park a few blocks away. You watched as the show went on, and how the fireworks got brighter and larger. You wondered where they had gotten them from, and how long the show would go on.

You didn’t know there were going to be fireworks in the city. Then again, you didn't bother to find out. You didn’t realize how long the show would last until you felt something in your eyes. You blinked rapidly, trying to get rid of the tears. And once you finally stopped, you could feel the wet trails running down your cheeks.

You reached up to your face, and wiped them away. You weren't aware that you were crying.

11:50, 10 minutes until the new year.

The show was still going strong. The colors in the sky were changing, and there were more types of fireworks. You couldn’t help but smile. The fireworks were beautiful, and the show was amazing. And the way the lights reflected in the dark sky and water was mesmerizing. It was a sight you've never seen before.

But then the lights suddenly dimmed, and the sound of the fireworks slowly stopped.

11:53, 7 minutes left of the old year.

You weren’t sure if the show was over, or if it was just taking a break. But it had taken the excitement away. The fireworks had brought a smile to your face, but now the only thing you could hear was the silence. You wanted to hear the booms again, and watch as the sky was lit up. You wanted to feel that excitement again. The only excitement you felt these last few hours.

You turned away from the window and walked back to the couch watched the last seven minutes of the New Year’s Eve countdown. It was nothing compared to the fireworks, but it was something to do. You didn't want to be reminded of how alone you were, or that the new year was starting with no one there. You just wanted the last few minutes of the year to be over, and that you could go to sleep and wake up to the new year. As you looked over to the clock, you wondered if it would be worth the wait. Or if you should just call it a night and get some sleep. But what would that accomplish? Would you really feel better about waiting or would you wake up disappointed. And why was the thought of waiting bothering you?

You couldn't understand why you were questioning yourself, and why you were letting the thoughts of the New Year bother you. It was just another day, just a longer night. So why did it have to bother you so much.

Maybe it was because this year was different. This year had the promise of change. Of new beginnings and opportunities. A chance to be better, and to accomplish new goals. But you didn’t believe it. You didn’t believe you'd be able to stick to the goal, or that you could change for the better. That the year would be better than the last.

And it was the thought of failure that was getting to you. Because no matter how hard you tried, it wouldn’t be enough. You wouldn't be able to succeed. The only thing that was certain was that the new year would end the same as the last, and the one before. With you alone.

11:56, 4 minutes left.

The thoughts were eating away at you. Why couldn’t you just be happy? Why did it matter what year it was? There were a few things to celebrate. You had a job and were in school. Your grades were good and you were doing well in both. You had friends and a boyfriend, but you didn’t have the same goals they did. And you didn’t have their happiness.

11:57, 3 minutes left.

Maybe the only thing you needed to do was to stop caring. To not let the thoughts consume you. The new year wasn’t a bad thing. It was just another day, and that nothing was going to change. Your life would stay the same, and there was nothing to worry about. It wasn’t worth the hassle.

11:58, 2 minutes left.

There were things that were worth celebrating. Like your birthday, Christmas, and graduation. But New Years didn't seem like one. Even if the fireworks had made it special.

But maybe you were wrong. Maybe you shouldn’t have given up hope. It's not like you've given up, you've just been down and didn’t see a reason to try anymore. Maybe it was time to stop looking down. To look at the positives in your life. The friends and family you have, the love and support, and the encouragement. You should have been thankful for those things. And maybe it was time to focus on the positives.

11:59, 1 minute left.

You sat there in silence, watching as the numbers slowly changed. And for the first time in a while, you were feeling better. Like the weight had been lifted off your shoulders. And that a new beginning was what you needed.

The ball was counting down the last few seconds. You stood up from your spot and waited. That was until somebody knocked. 12:00.

You turned to the door, surprised by the sudden knock. Who could be visiting you at this hour? You opened the door and were greeted by a familiar pair of brown eyes and a warm smile. “Seonghwa?”

He smiled, and before he could say anything, the fireworks went off. You could hear them booming outside, and you could see the lights from the window. You turned to look, and Seonghwa wrapped his arms around you. His chin was resting on top of your head, and he was holding you close.

You could feel his chest rising and falling against your back, and how warm he was. You could smell his cologne, and hear his soft breaths. You couldn’t understand what was going on, and why he was here. But it didn't matter, because you were happy he was.

You didn’t realize that you were crying again, until he had gently turned your face towards him. He placed a gentle kiss on your lips and held you tighter. It was a soft, and comforting. Something that helped to make the situation better.

When the kiss broke, he was the first to speak. "Happy New Year, Y/n." You smiled, and returned the wish. "Happy New Year, Seonghwa."

Kate's scream could be heard past the tall trees that surrounded the Denali coven's home. Reaching the ears of Tanya and Eleazar who had been out hunting to replenish their stock of blood that would last them the rest of the month. Briefly exchanging a troubled look, they drop their equipment and dash off back to the house where they found Kate on her knees in the living room. She was begging Carmen to wake up. The large bay window of their living room was smashed, glass looking like snow against their hardwood floors. Eleazar collapsed onto his knees beside Kate.

"I walked away only for a second to answer a phone call. . ." Kate tells the other two. Slowly, Carmen was coming to as her pale eyelids flutter with life. "Irina must have taken that opportunity to get out. I'm sorry."

Tanya helps her sister up and maneuvers her to the couch while Carmen's mate helps her rouse to consciousness. "It's not your fault." Hastily thinking, Tanya calculates the amount of time Kate had been away and up to when she came upon Carmen. She didn't want to acknowledge out loud that Irina was probably far away now. Mentally she curses knowing that they were now in deep shit with Irina's escape. In a flash she has her phone in her hands and taps Edward's phone number. They had to get this situation under control as soon as possible.

Supporting his mate, Eleazar has Carmen in his arms, her head resting on his shoulder as her black eyes struggle to focus. "Irina?"

"Sshhh, it's okay." He hushes her, gently rocking the both of them to and fro. "We'll get her back."

Her hand goes up to her head and she lets out a groan. "I can't believe this. . . how humiliating."

Unable to sit still, Kate stands up. "I'm going to start tracking her."

Over her shoulder, Tanya reminds her to keep her phone on her in case she comes across anything. Not bothering to use the front door, Kate hops out of the gaping hole in the window that Irina had made and becomes but a golden flash as her legs run at the speed of light. Finally the dial tone is cut off and Tanya hears Edward's voice in a greeting. No time for that. "We have a problem, Ed. Irina's gotten out."

She could hear his sharp inhale. "When? Kate called me just a few minutes ago."

"It happened within that time frame. Irina overpowered Carmen and knocked her out. Kate went after her right now but I don't think Irina is in the area anymore." If her heart was still functioning like a usual human, it would be frantically beating behind her breastbone. This was not good. There were two places that Irina could be heading toward: the Volturi or Forks. Maybe she planned to take matters into her own hands and find where the wolves were. "Send an alarm to the wolves that they need to be on the lookout for her just in case. I don't know what she's thinking anymore but if she so happens to go into your territory, you might be able to detect her before anyone else and warn the others."

"Got it. . . is Carmen okay?" He needed to get out to warn the wolves, but he was also concerned for Carmen.

From where she'd wandered off, Tanya looks back to the living room where Eleazar had situated Carmen on the couch before he too was zipping out of the window. "She's okay. Might have a headache, but it'll pass as will the guilt."

They say curt goodbyes. Tanya shoves her phone back into her pocket as her loud strides clacking back to the rest of her family. "Alright. You guys can stay here if you want to, but I'm gonna join Kate and see if we can find any tracks to where Irina may have gone."

Carmen is already staggering to her feet and giving her head a shake to clear her brain. "I'm fine. Lets go." Her mate is skeptical but has never been one to protest his wife when she has her mind made up. He simply follows her lead, his hands ready if she was still feeling lightheaded and fainted.

Alone, Tanya takes this moment to let out a distressed sigh and rub her hand against her forehead. They were given one job: to keep a sharp eye on Irina. Disappointment is not the strongest emotion she felt then and there. Shame floods her as she was unable to make Edward proud of her and her coven. Acknowledging that it would take a while for her romantic feelings for Edward to go away, she still didn't like letting down the Denali's one true ally.

She believed in no gods or deities but she found herself praying to whoever was willing to listen to her. Praying that Irina made a stop to Forks first before heading to Italy. Maybe then she could be apprehended and contained. Hopefully with (y/n) among the wolves, she could stop them from mistreating Irina. Even though Irina threatened the peace, she was still her sister and Tanya was loathe to lose another family member.

Free at last.

A massive weight lifted off your shoulders, along with your backpack as you open your bedroom window and toss it inside. Closing it once more, you waste no time in joining Embry in the jog to Sam's. Both of you nothing but smiles as the both of you cheered and laugh now that your academic life would not hinder the more entertaining aspect of the pack. Now you could hang out with the witches and watch them.

The summer sun that streamed through the massive branches of trees was kind and heightened the carefree feeling that you and Embry were drunk off of. Sunlight makes a kaleidoscope of shapes on the ground. They moved with the swaying of leaves and limbs.

But the massive figure of Sam's black wolf emerges from the brush and seemingly scaring off all light. You and Embry halt. You couldn't read his mind yet his pinned back ears and raised hackles told you that something was wrong.

To make the travel go faster, the two of you hoist onto Sam's back and he darts to his home. The backyard still has the two tents sitting silently. Void of occupants. Leaping off his back, Sam quickly shifts back to his human skin and you avert your eyes as he shimmies into his shorts. Questions aren't asked. Not yet. His silence told you enough as he leads you through the kitchen and into the once again crowded living room. This time Edward was at the center along with the three witches and Bella seated on the couch, her nervous gaze flitting around the room until they land on you and relief leaks from her.

"Where's Leah?" Sam curtly asks Seth who shrinks.

"She's not feeling well. . ." An obvious lie. Anyone could tell from the manner which Seth's gaze is focused on his feet. Sam doesn't press it though, there are more important issues to take care of and Leah was at the bottom of his list.

Sam shares a nod with Edward, the vampire taking it as a sign to proceed. "Irina from the Denali coven has escaped."

Ice freezes the blood in your veins and robs you of breath.

"What this means is that she could potentially be either on her way to the Volturi or here." His eyes no longer hold that charming honey-gold, instead they're darkened. When was the last time he'd had any animal blood, you wonder to yourself in concern. You feel your packmates stiffen around you at the potential threat of another vampire trespassing on their territory. "The other members of her coven have already been out to look for her around their home but its clear she's long gone."

Nadege closes her eyes and whispers something in her native creole. Next to her, Evita holds her hand and gives it a reassuring squeeze. Dieufel listens with dark, sharp eyes.

"Can't Alice use her power to see where Irina is going?" Colin's voice was timid as he spoke up. One of the youngest members of the pack, they rarely spoke up during meetings like this as they were aware of their status as a young pup. But it was a good question posed to Edward.

"She's not here at the moment." replies Edward which causes Bella to shift uncomfortably in her seat and even Embry and Quil glance at one another. Everyone pinned so much on Alice's special ability. She was what could make or break any subsequent plans.

"I can find her." Dieufel's voice breaks through the concern in the room. But Nadege and Evita only look up at him with worry. Evita and Dieufel had been working so hard to make the wards and it showed on their features. Tired eyes and weary creases above their brows. This would drain Dieufel even more.

Reading his mind, Edward gets all the answers faster than if Dieufel were to have verbally said them out loud. "As fast as you can."

The male witch nods. "It will be done." His eyes rove over to Nadege and Bella. His lips press firmly together before nodding toward his cousin. She could read his mind easily, just not in the same way Edward had. From the expression in the depths of his eyes that she knew so well, Nadege was aware of the responsibility that was now placed on not just her, but the novice Bella as well.

You observe Bella's face. Quil had one time said that Bella had a very neutral face, almost void of any emotion. But that was not true. Her expressions were subtle. The biting of her bottom lip. A slight twitch of her brow. You could tell she was nervous. Having only been learning magic for three days, it surely wasn't enough for her to dive right into making wards. You feel for her.

Dieufel leaves the living room and heads to his tent to begin gathering his materials. Time could not be wasted.

Sam sends out Jared along with Embry, Seth, and Brady. Ideally it would have been nice to have another wolf added to their security. There were still no news of Leah and Sam still was wary of welcoming Jacob back so soon. Though the imprinting hormones flooding through Jacob could possibly now be utilized as a good thing. The innate instinct to protect his imprintee would make him all too vigilant and ready to defend. Quietly while plans are being devised, you bring this up to Sam, pulling him away from the main room.

He regards your words but there's a storm of conflict behind his dark eyes. Edward keeps his attention partly on you and Sam as he speaks with Evita. Nadege has to shoo them out of the center of the room so that she could start making a fourth ward. Bella lingers behind her hesitantly, trying to pretend Edward's presence didn't bother her. Colin and Quil brush past them as their part of the close guard along with Paul. Those who would keep close in case Irina slipped through. "Theoretically, it's a good idea. But. . . you know how unpredictable imprinting can make you in the early weeks."

You nod. "I know. But we could really use everyone we have."

Exhausted, Sam rubs the back of his neck while he ponders. "Okay. Okay. I'll give him a call. I'll try Leah again too."

His small brick of a phone is clutched tightly in his hands already. He'd broken several others, this one lasting him the longest still possessed a cracked screen and a missing button. He goes down a small hallway where you knew his shared bedroom with Emily was. You catch her poking her head out as Sam whispers something to her. They close the door behind them, leaving everyone else to get to their own individual work.

Emily must be scared at this new threat to her and Sam's life. Now she was the lone, normal human among everyone. You'd caught her once listening in on Bella's lessons. She seemed a little embarrassed that she'd been caught.

"You okay?" Edward spooks you from the abruptness of his voice. His hand was reaching toward you as if he'd been about to place a hand on your arm. It hangs in the air between the two of you. You relax and move your body so that his hand firmly presses against your shoulder. Tentatively you touch his wrist. His lips twitch into a shy smile. Were you moving too fast? You didn't know if wrist touching was alright or too. . . intimate.

"Yeah. I'm okay. Sam is going to call Jacob and ask him to come. We could really use the extra help."

"Mr. Cullen?"

Dieufel stands in the doorway of the kitchen, hesitant to interrupt both of you.

Curious, Edward only takes a second to read his mind and understand what he was going to ask of him. "Of course I'll help. Just tell me what to do." He turns back to you, his smile returned as he basks in your touch for a moment more before peeling himself away. Dieufel doesn't move though as his gaze turns to you and Evita.

"Why don't the two of you come along with us. Evita, you need to work on your tracking spells right?" Dieufel reminds her. "This will be good practice for you." He doesn't wait for either of you to say anything as he walks back to his tent where most of his personal supplies are being kept. Off in the distance you could hear your packmates moving through the trees to sniff out any kind of vampire scent that didn't belong to the Cullens.

The sound their pounding paws made could be likened to thunder. That wolf part of you is pulled toward them, wanting to join the hunt. But your alpha told you to stay put, keep watch here. After all, Emily was still inside the house. Unable to protect herself. She needed whatever protection was left to offer her.

On the wooden picnic table that had white painting chipping off in flakes were the tools of Dieufel's trade. A shallow bowl made out of a purple crystal (possibly amethyst). Around the lip of it are etchings, similar to those you've seen already while hanging around Evita. With his back turned to them, Dieufel takes a vial from around his throat and unplugs the stopper. You wonder what it is but he gives no name to whatever silver liquid he pours into the gemstone vessel. Around it are four stumpy little candles supported by small holders. One brown, one red, one blue and one white.

"The time of day isn't ideal." Dieufel admits and glances up at the sky. "But we'll have to make do."

He beckons everyone closer, particularly Evita and Edward so that they could be of more use. Moving Edward so that he was now in front of the bowl, Dieufel explains that only Edward will be able to see the location of where Irina might be since he knows what she looks like and has been around her in the past few days. Her impression will be fresh upon him.

"Evita, my grimoire." It was on the edge she was closest to, a great leather bound book. Weather worn and near bursting. Evita lifts it up and before she could hand it to him, Dieufel flicks his wrist and the book opens in her hands. She suppresses a surprised yelp, watching as the pages fan open to the correct one that had the tracking spell. He hisses out another word that you don't quite catch but the stubby candles suddenly burst to life with little beacons of flames. Edward's eyes are wide as he has a front row seat.

Their magic was always amazing to witness.

"And what do we do next?" He probably knows this spell from memory, but he's also training Evita too.

She tries at first to recall it from memory, but in a second her eyes flick down to the yellow page. "Mugwort. Sprinkle mugwort on the surface." Already on it, Dieufel's dark hand pops open a plastic container with what looked like moss. You'd heard about the herb before, commonly used even on the reservation. Especially among the elders. He grabs a fistful and skillfully sprinkles it producing ripples on the liquid's surface. Each ripple starts to bleed a cosmic swirl of blue and purple as Dieufel murmurs something under his breath. "Next we'll need. . ." Evita looks to Edward "a piece of your hair."

Edward's brows quizzically raise but he's not one to ask questions of a witch and easily lifts his hand to his head, plucking a single strand. Offering it to Dieufel between pinched forefinger and thumb.

"Conjure up her image the best you can. Every facial detail, make it crystal clear in your mind. Focus. Don't lose it." He instructs once he has Edward's hair. Rubbing it between his fingers. "Ankhom tenebris vinculum"

Closing his eyes, you focus on Edward's face. Every twitch and movement behind his eyelids.

His hair is gently placed into the cosmic waters, stilling them and producing a soft, shimmering light. "If you have her in sight, slowly open your eyes and look into the bowl." Carefully with his hand on the nape of Edward's neck, Dieufel moves him so that his face is leaning directly over the surface.

Fluttering his eyelids lazily open, Edward takes a sharp inhale once they're fully open. "Wow. . ."

You try to see around them, hoping to catch a glimpse of whatever it was Edward was seeing. All you could make out was light dancing around the rim of the bowl. The runes glowing as Edward's eyes widen even more.

Apparently it doesn't take too long before Edward's found where Irina is for he hisses and nearly flings himself away from the picnic table with wild eyes. "Jacob. She's heading towards Jacob's."

exactly right.

Jake 'Hangman' Seresin x F!Reader

Jake has been trying to get you to go on a date with him for month.

t/w: just the usual. a curse word or two. cutie!hangman.

“Have you always been this beautiful?” The blonde haired, green eyed aviator asks you.

You roll your eyes, continuing to wipe down the counter. “What can I get you, Hangman?”

“You,” he smirks.

“Try again.”

“I’m serious.”

“So am I.” You stop wiping the counter and place a hand on your waist, giving Jake your most annoyed stare.

Lieutenant Jake ‘Hangman’ Seresin has been trying to get you to go on a date with him for months.

And it’s not that you don’t want to. He’s hot. That cocky attitude is hot. You’re just scared. Your last relationship left you broken, and it’s hard to know when it’s time to move on.

“Come on, y/n. When ya gonna gimme a shot?” His southern drawl almost solicits a smile out of you, but you remain strong.

“Hangman, I’m not right for you.”

Jake smirks. “Of course you are.”

You turn your back to him and mix him up his drink of choice. Setting it down in front of him, he looks at it incredulously, another smirk flirting at his mouth.

“What?”

“I haven’t ordered yet.”

Oh, fuck. He hadn’t. You mixed the drink out of instinct.

You know his drink. It’s not that wild, you suppose. You are a bartender. It’s easy to remember what the regulars order. Rooster gets…

Wait, what does Rooster order?

“You’re absolutely right for me, babe.” Jake picks up his Old Fashioned and joins the rest of the crew at a pool table.

You stand there awestruck. When he reaches the table, he raises the glass to you, and gives you a wink.

“What’s wrong with you?” Phoenix asks as the evening goes on.

You’d been off your game since your exchange with Jake. Phoenix, the ever best friend, noticed immediately, as did Penny.

Penny smirked next to you. “She’s having a hard time.”

“I remembered his drink,” you mumbled, handing a patron a beer, tossing their tip into the jar.

“So?” Phoenix says her brows meeting together.

“I fixed it before he could order it.”

“I’m still not following.”

“Y/N, what does Rooster order when he comes in,” Penny steps in, as if this will explain everything to Phoenix.

You shrug. You’ve never paid attention. He comes in, orders, you move on. Jake comes in, no he saunters in, knowing he is hot shit. Walking up to the bar, he delivers whatever flirtatious line he’s been working on, and orders an Old Fashion.

That's it!! It’s Jake’s fault for being so damn predictable.

“But she remembers Hangman’s drink order,” Penny explains. Phoenix finally understands, and she and Penny share a grin.

“It’s because it's the same song and dance whenever he comes in. It’s not my fault,” you chide.

Phoenix nods. “Yeah, that’s it. Babe, you like him.”

Like Hangman? No, that couldn’t be it.

As if on cue, Jake throws his head back, laughing that loud cackle at something Coyote says. His five o’clock shadow catches your eye, he’s usually clean shaven. Your mouth pulls up in the corner before you could stop it.

“Yeah, she likes him,” Penny agrees.

During last call, you set a water out at the third barstool.

Why did you do that?

The blonde naval aviator slid into the barstool, seemingly answering your question. OH.

This is bad.

Jake looks down at the water and smirks. “I didn't ask for this yet.”

“Just shut up and drink it.”

“I love it when you’re mean to me.” His green eyes lock on yours and that smirk gets bigger.

You make yourself busy by going through your closing routine. You learned from Penny herself, and have gotten it down to a science. It takes you exactly 37 minutes to close the bar for the evening.

Jake sits through all 37 of them. Just like he always does. Like he has since your first night. This realization knocks the wind out of you.

Oh, God. You like Hangman. That cocky son of a bitch charmed his way in.

Jake looks at his watch, just as you grab your purse. “37 minutes on the dot. I don’t know how you do it, girl.”

Jake holds the door open for you, and leads you out to your car. The parking lot is always deserted, but he insists, every time. Protecting you against anyone lurking in the shadow with any ill will.

He’s going to stop, trap you in between himself and your car, and deliver a line.

“Next time, I am going to get you to go on a date with me,” he murmurs.

As he turns from you, you grab his wrist. He meets your eye with a raised brow. You’re not thinking. You’re not thinking as you pull him closer to you. You aren’t thinking as you bring your arm around his neck. And you're definitely not thinking as you guide his mouth down to yours.

Taking charge, Jake takes another step toward you, pinning you against the car. His strong hands grip your waist and he kisses you with all he’s got. It knocks the breath out of you. You kiss him back, just as eager. One hand slides into the hair at the nape of his neck, soliciting a delicious moan from him. Your other hand runs down his jaw, taking in that little bit of stubble he hadn’t taken care of yet.

When you two pull back, both your breathing heavy, Jake grins.

“I told you. You’re exactly right for me.”

˗ˏˋ ENHYPEN ´ˎ˗ when you make them dance

ღ pairing. enha x reader

ღ contents. fluff, just a fun lil scenario, enha with their s/o

ღ summary. in which you coincidentally find a kpop random dance while walking with your enha s/o, and feel the need to see a real trainee join

﹒⪩⪨﹒scroll for reactions

LEE HEESEUNG

tries to convince you that it's the same as watching him practice

however, you aren't convinced at all ofc

and continue begging him with puppy eyes

he eventually caves in because you were too cute~

(also he was just a little bit excited to show you his talents as our beloved ace)

but he'll never admit it

does everything perfectly, but in the back of the crowd so wonie wouldn't beat him up later for showing up in public without telling him

you're very indignant on how everyone is cheering for a different dancer

(even though they couldn't actually see him and were focused on the people at the front as anyone would be)

when you were absolutely sure hee was better

which he finds absolutely endearing

overall a fun experience

10 minutes of begging for a 30 second experience, but was it worth it?

yes. no arguments.

"... just one song, for you"

PARK JAY

very worried he'll mess up in front of you

barters to get himself out of the situation

convinces you that it's bad for your system to exercise exactly 3 hours and 37 minutes after eating (?)

idk how

but his absolute unfiltered 100% organic bullshitting saved his tush

another factor in his victory may have been that he was talking so fast

that your brain was tripping over itself trying to comprehend what he was saying

so you ended up just nodding confusedly

and never realized what was happening until you were already home with him

he definitely makes you your favorite food for dinner to compromise

you learned 2 lessons from this experience:

1) never underestimate your bf's skill at lying to save himself

2) it is in fact not bad for your system to exercise exactly 3 hours and 37 minutes after eating

"see, isn't this better than watching me look stupid?"

SIM JAKE

shy puppy

unlike the others he doesn't try to argue

idk i feel like he'd quickly join for a round just to appease you

even if he's a bit nervous he definitely wouldn't show it

but forgets about the event just as quickly as he got it over with

you both just end up continuing on with your plans for the day

and spend half of said day cooing over layla

very understandable though

i'm sorry this is so short

i need to do more jake research

PARK SUNGHOON

worried pt.2

shields your eyes the moment he sees the dance going on and tries to steer you away

mans knew what was coming for him

even though you know you're so getting teased for this later, you pout at him and beg him to dance

he blushes, seeing you so cute, but hides it with his sleeve to save his pride

points out that you're a capable dancer yourself, why don't you do it?

you end up agreeing to do it together, after much debate

when he sees that he can't get himself out of the situation

he decides to just tease you on how whipped you are for him

even though he's just as excited to see you dance

prays to the lord that he doesn't mess up right before the next chorus begins

thankfully he doesn't and performs perfectly

which, in turn, led to his cover being blown

his mask falling off at the end may have possibly also contributed to this

(someone thought you were wonyoung?? best compliment fr)

you two run home after almost being chased the entire way by some not very nice fans

one of them being a dive who may need a new prescription for their contacts

he ends up hiding from wonie for a week

"W for my pulling skills"

KIM SUNOO

sassy queen

you didn't even ask him to join

you could swear he was just next to you, but when you turn around, you don't see him anymore

ofc you're panicking while looking around

until you see a random play dance that was currently playing crown by txt

he just couldn't resist after being repeatedly interrupted during the chorus when he danced in the practice room with the rest of enhypen

you just go stand by and watch him vibing

thankfully in the back of the crowd, who knows what his manager would've done if he knew sunoo was joining a publicly filmed and broadcasted event without approval

he refuses to leave until he's done his 15th chorus

and you're barely able to pull him out

is now besties with half the people there

and he somehow still hasn't leaked his identity

the crowd's excitement dies down a little after our sunshine leaves

he talks the entire way home about the girl group songs

and how you totally would've slayed them

is out like a light after getting home

"that was so fun, you should've joined!"

YANG JUNGWON

worried pt.3

not that he'll mess up because yang leader is perfect

but he thinks he might be discovered by some very perceptive engenes

he figures he'll be fine though

as long as he stays clear of the front of the crowd

and he'll do mostly anything to make you happy

except washing dishes

cutie

dances whenever you tell him to join

will happily stay for as long as you'd like him to

adds in random moves to make you laugh

pulls you in for ping pong so to avoid anyone else dancing as his partner

you two are complimented by various other dancers for your talent and chemistry

buys you ice cream later too cool off with

even though he was the one dancing

"we should dance together more often~"

NISHIMURA RIKI

will hop in without you asking pt.2

is the one asking you to join him

body rolls at any given opportunity just for the fun of it

competing against you even though he knows he'll win

this is a given fact due to the number of just dance battles he won you at

however you'll never admit he's better than you and you're constantly trying to best him

he'll also never admit that you're improving much more than you think you are

he shamelessly reveals himself to everyone within the vicinity with his undeniable talent after a mere 2 choruses

thankfully people were chill about it and decided to turn off the recording camera and livestream to make it more accommodating towards your idol bf

which you both really appreciated

you two end up teaching some kids an enha chorus

(OMG HE WAS SO CUTE WITH THE KIDS I CANT-)

those kids were so talented though it's scary

on the positive side: mini rikis?!??

your previous plans for the day are quickly forgotten

and you guys spend the rest of the day there

definitely one of the best memories you've had together

"i'm still gonna win, you know"

For the ask game! 16, 37 and 43

16. have you ever wanted to tell someone something but you didn’t?

yeah usually like cussing out my toxic family members but then i didn't because i realized it was healthier and more effective to just cut them off entirely <3 i could have verbally destroyed my stepdad with a single sentence but i am actually better than he is so instead i just don't talk to him at all lmao

37. favourite actor/actress

idk if i have one, because usually my favorite actors are just whoever play the blorbos of whatever series i'm currently fixated on, so it varies from time to time. and even then i wouldn't say they're favorites because i just like their characters, not necessarily them as a person (side-eyes d*rk and dw*ght) lmao.

hmm, in honor of the origin of my url i'm gonna say Bill Pullman.

he's just so iconic and i'm always happy to see him on screen and he gives me a whole heckin' lot of gender envy lol i have literally taken photos of him to a salon and been like GIMME THE HAIR (he has had the same goddamn hair style his entire career, i dare you to find a photo of him where his hair isn't this same basic style lol like it varies in length but it's always the same cut and i LOVE it)

he's in like. so many of my favorite movies. Zero Effect (blog url inspo), While You Were Sleeping (fave romcom), Brain Dead (fave psychological/existential horror movie), Independence Day (...one of my fave sci-fi/alien movies), Spaceballs (...I wouldn't actually call this a favorite movie of mine tbh but like it's so fucking iconic I can't not mention it), AND there's this super cringe scene in Mr. Wrong (terrifying movie, it's billed as a comedy but it's legit a horror film to me lmao, do not recommend) where he sings Hold The Line by Toto (my favorite band) really badly and it's just. So iconic. almost ruined the song for me. almost. (no one can ruin Toto for me. 'tis not possible.)

43. favourite song ever

oh come on you can't do that to me, i can't pick a fave song ever, that's not a thing, i don't know how to do that :')

but as i mentioned Toto... it's gonna be one of theirs, lol. i can't even choose one goddammit i'll do a top three (stRUGGLING EVEN TO DO THAT... THE 'TISM CANNOT CHOOSE)

gonna put Rosanna first because it's the first song I remember rocking out to when i was like 3 years old in my car seat and telling my dad to turn up the car radio

youtube

next up Can't Stand It Any Longer because EVERYTHING ABOUT IT IS PERFECTION, from Joe Williams' vocals to the melody to the beat to the ALL THE MUSIC TERMS I'M NOT EDUCATED ENOUGH TO COMMENT ON IN DETAIL hskjdfhkjsdhfdjksf

youtube

aaand as much as it pains me to only choose one more i'll go with one from the Isolation album so you can hear another vocalist (the amount of vocalists this band has had... and they're all so talented in their own ways and GAWWWWWWD I LOVE THIS FUCKIN BAND SO MUCH I'M GONNA SCREAM),, anyway here's Endless:

youtube

i could literally talk about Toto all day so i'm gonna have to cut myself off here before this becomes an infodump lmao

............actually i'm gonna put one last song because it came up in the recommended sidebar and Joe is fucking adorable in this video and gives me a lot of gender envy and YES THAT'S PAULA ABDUL DANCING,, WHY WASN'T THIS ONE OF THEIR BIGGEST HITS I DON'T UNDERSTAND

youtube

....a..and... um... listen i hate listing 4 things because that doesn't feel rounded out so here's one more to make it a nice rounded 5,, featuring Steve Lukather as a BABY (okay he's like 21 but he looks like a baby) and because I can't list a bunch of Toto songs and not feature any from their 70s era:

youtube

i need those rainbow suspenders.

...okay sorry sorry i was entirely possessed by my autism for a minute there 😅 thus concludes the post. thanks for the asks and for opening up my big chaotic box of obsession lol.

#i am DETERMINED to make everyone who only knows 'Africa' get to know more Toto songs #because yes yes obviously Africa is a fuckin JAM and ya gotta love it #but they have SO many good songs it's almost impossible to even keep track of lmao #ALSO i'm so curious Chio... i hear Toto has/had a massive following in Italy so i wonder if that's still a thing??? lol

Her Song part 37

Bonjour, Mon Ange. I went for a run. I'll be back in time to make breakfast. Je t'aime!

Florence read the note and sighed, grumbling about the lack of warmth being emitted from the other side of the bed. She grabbed her phone off the nightstand and dialed her favorite number. It only rang once.

"Hey, love! How did you sleep?" I pant through the phone, out of breath from my run.

"I slept fine. But I would've been much more happy to wake up next to you," she complains cutely.

"Désolé, ma belle. The open road was just calling my name," I joked, turning the corner onto my street. "I'll be home in a few minutes, okay?"

"Okay, love."

"Oh wait! I'm listening to this song called 'Washington Lilacs' by Zach Bryan. I think you'll like it."

"I'll listen to it right now," Florence grinned, remembering your old tradition. "See you soon."

When I returned to our apartment, I smiled seeing Flo and Syd dancing around the kitchen, gathering things to make pancakes. It had been two months since the incident with Ben, and life had been bliss. Flo had officially moved in, and her and Syd were almost inseparable. Syd's cancer was another story.

"Hey, babe, how'd you sleep?" I greet Syd, picking her up and swinging her around.

"Good! I had a dream that you and Flo got married and we moved to France!"

"Oh my, that's quite the dream," I gasp dramatically.

"Quite the dream, indeed," Flo adds on. She approaches and places a quick kiss on my lips. "Go shower, you smell. I'll cook breakfast."

"How rude. Fine, but don't burn the place down."

"No promises," she shouts as I make my way towards the bathroom.

After breakfast, Syd settles on the couch to watch some cartoons while Flo and I clean up, dancing around the kitchen in perfect unison.

"So, I've been thinking," I begin.

"Oh, that's scary."

"Shut up. I'm being serious. What if we moved? To a real house. I love this place, but I'm ready for more. And I want it to be ours. A clean slate, you know?"

"I'd love nothing more, Y/N. But this is something we should take our time with. Are we talking the outskirts of the city or the French countryside?" she asks, referring to Syd's dream.

"I don't know, honestly. I just want to start a life with you." I quickly realize how serious this conversation is, then blush thinking about the ring in my nightstand.

"I'd go anywhere with you, darling."

"And I you, mon amour."

I flip through the mail, tossing the junk and setting aside the bills. One letter catches my eye.

Dear Y/N Y/L/N, It has come to our attention that Sydney Fleur Y/L/N may have received less than desirable care as a patient of Dr. Adriel Lancaster. Dr. Lancaster's medical license is under investigation. There is a possibility of a malpractice lawsuit. Please contact us to make an appointment with our legal team. Best wishes. The American Board of Medical Specialties

"Holy shit," I whisper to myself.

"What? What is it? Is everything okay?" Florence questions.

"It's- it's- I don't even know! Read it! What the fuck?" I whisper-shout.

After reading it, Flo looks up fuming. "Good. I hope that bastard gets his license revoked and lives in a fucking cardboard box. He should be put in jail for what he did to our daughter. I mean what kind of fucking doctor breezes over extreme neurological symptoms like that? It's fucking ridiculous," she rants.

"Flo," I cut her off. "You just said 'our daughter.'"

"What?"

"Our daughter. You called Syd 'our' daughter."

"Oh. Oh, God, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to overstep-"

"I could kiss you right now."

"Huh?"

"You've been to hell and back with me and Syd. I'm glad you think of her as your daughter, because she is your daughter. I love you Flo. We're a family."

"I love you too," she whispers as tears well up in her eyes. And once again, I think of that ring in my nightstand drawer.

"So basically, we're gonna sue this motherfucker for everything he's got," I explain to Ash over the phone.

"Well as you fucking should. That piece of shit probably got his fucking medical license from a monkey high on crack. Honestly, what kind of-"

"Yeah, I know. Trust me," I mumble.

"Hey, you know none of this is your fault, right?"

"Logically, yes, I know. But it sure as hell doesn't feel that way. I mean, I knew something was wrong yet I still listened to that asshat. That's not very 'motherly instincts' of me."

"We're supposed to trust our doctors. We have to in order for the good ones to save lives. Unfortunately, not all doctors can be as good as Amelia Shepherd, and sometimes things get fucked up. That's not your fault, you hear me?"

"Yeah."

"I wanna hear you say it."

"It's not my fault," I comply reluctantly.

"Good, now I'll see you tomorrow. We need to discuss your plan to propose. We need to woo this bitch."

"Oh, Lord give me strength."

United by music my ass

So the whole thing was a mess. My aftermath thoughts are these

UK made me nauseous for how much it overshadowed Ukraine again and again. And fun fact, this wasn't the first time a country couldn't host and UK in particular stepped in. Like, it happened multiple times before.

"Look at these cool Ukraine places you can't visit and then oh a British place you CAN visit!!!"

One question. During the entire thing, has any of the hosts said a few concrete ways people at home can help Ukraine? Said any association you could donate to? Gave phone numbers to call? Anything at all I may have missed? I mean there was time to include that lil 10 seconds ad about Moroccan oil or whatever before the start of the evenings.

I fucking KNEW they would have made someone sing Imagine. And that was nauseating in itself. Mahmood looked like he was dissociating for the whole thing tho lmao

Making an Israel old entry perform two seconds AFTER imagine? A... Choice.

Also a choice the enormous amount of points that the jury gave to Israel on a year that the winning country couldn't host because of the war affecting them.

And on that note, these couple years wasn't the first time Russia launched their ass in a fucking conflict with an European country. Hello? 2008 Russo-Georgian war? Georgia is 20% fucking occupied by Russia!

And in 2009 what did Eurovision do? Said that "We don't wanna Put in" entry by Georgia was too political!!! Hello?

So why, on earth, is Israel still allowed to participate? People talk shit about Australia not being in Europe but compared to Israel I'll fucking take the Aussies and I don't even particularly like them !! And why, on earth, they thought the unicorn song was decent?

Next point. Fucking. Jury. Votes.

Do you want to know as an example the average age of Italy's jury? When I read it on Twitter I didn't believe it so here's the math!

(70+ 55+60+64+37) ÷ 5 = 57

No comment.

"united by music" let's be real you're united by the money and having the 60th anniversary of Abba + a previous winner that was involved in the ost for Euphoria, a tv series that was a massive success, is easy marketing.

Onto the next point, way too many countries were robbed. Czechia? Slapped. Germany brought for once something to the table and still got less points than whatever TikTok bullshit UK had going on. Absolute robbery. Could it have more metal screaming? It can always have more metal screaming but it was still serving cunt.

I don't even wanna mention Croatia. I'm so tired of people that treat Eurovision like every other fucking song contest, WE DONT NEED STONED SIA, I was for two minutes on Twitter and god the takes on that app. Just shut it down already. "Honestly this year was underwhelming" girl go back buying polaroids of Jimin. This wasn't made for you.

Croatia is how you MAKE a song with a message relevant to the shit that's going on in europe. Switzerland is how you DONT. Croatia was fun, parodying, putting on an apparent nosense and punk old men in drag, and THATS how it's done, what do you guys want more? Croatia was an Eurovision entry

What about Czechia message then? One question: did it sound like a boring ballad that any random British singer could make? No. Did it sound powerful and recognizable, with an identity behind it? Yes.

Ukraine this year? The cyberpunk was county, amazing, but Eurovision material? No. I've loved Ukraine entries in the past because they sang in their own language, which is already a +1 point regardless, AND included folk elements in the song. That flute thing they always have going on is DELIGHTFUL and EATS UP every single time. I love Eurovision because it exposes me to different sounds, different ways of singing. This is why I liked Moldova this year!

Anyway that's about it.

Dany!!❤️ 1, 16, 25, 37, 47, 48

hi fiii!

1 - Are you an albums person or a singles person?

definitively more of a singles person. before tk came i never felt the urge to check someone's entire discography. at best i would get to know an album or two. artists would get their own personal folder on my pc if i liked at least 3 songs of theirs bc that was a lot for me 😂 i'd say i got better with time

16 - A song or album from the 70s:

light my fire by the doors

25 - Is there a song you used to like but can’t listen to anymore because you associate it with someone you don’t like?

mmm the closer i can get is not being able to listen to the way it was anymore (and eventually the whole album for a full year) after my ex broke with me bc some lyrics hit a bit too close and made the song too painful. but i can listen to it fine now!

37 - If you could travel in time and go to a concert of an artist who’s no longer alive or a band that’s no longer together, who would you choose?

i'm completely blanking out on this lol. but i truly regret not going to see brandon for his only italian date for the desired effect tour, god knows he could have cured me from the deep depression i had that year lol but i was too chicken to go to milan alone back then. also depeche mode playing in my city but i was studying for my graduation exams so i decided it was better if i didn't go (in the end i did fuck all till the last minute, twice, both for the written and oral ones and my friend went without telling me, i'm still so incredibly bitter about that)

47 - Is there an artist you used to dislike but learned to like because of a friend’s influence?

i don't think so, but i caught the mcr worms bc of two mutuals posting about the current tour, does that count?

48 - Who’s an artist you think it’s criminally underrated and deserves more recognition?

lame answer but tk... as popular as they are i don't understand how they aren't so popular they fill stadiums on the regular and have their tickets go sold out in less than 2 hours... like better for us for sure but why aren't them the most popular rock band out there? but this is probably just me being up their ass since 2008 lol. also alan wilder's solo project recoil. weird music but it's so good

the ultimate music asks

#ecouter bien #dany answers #ask games #my answers be like: how can i make this about tk?

commentating on a beach boys interview because why not

@ 01:11 he skipped elf practice to be a beach boy

@ 01:52 mike looks like off brand robert duvall, and i don't like it

@ 02:39 things pink floyd fans have in common with beach boys fans: two of the band's leaders hating each other and essentially having two separate bands until only one event for an anniversary where they get back together, and then separate and hate each other after the event

@ 03:29 no offense, but bruce looks like he had a stroke

@ 08:51 in this shot, brian looks like harlan ellison

@ 09:57 tbh, kokomo is an alright song. could be worse, could be better. now i'm waiting for mike love to break down my door and yeet me to another dimension

@ 10:04 you look at that decision and tell me there's a god

@ 10:19 who would win - disney's copyright lawyers or mike love's copyright lawyers

@ 10:32 i like how mike has slits for eyes, he's almost like brock from pokemon

@ 12:09 it's a meme on r/beachboyscirclejerk

@ 12:16 it's an ok song

@ 12:46 (looks it up) 3 minutes 55 seconds is long? tell me you've never encountered prog rock without telling me you've never encountered prog rock

@ 13:30 ok, boomer

@ 13:50 as you originally shat on pet sounds because it wasn't an immediate success

@ 14:58 just like pink floyd lol

@ 15:34 because of you, jackass

@ 15:41 tbh, the only genuinely good song on that album is heroes and villains. fight me

@ 16:00 omfg an evil dead reference?!

@ 16:57 jim morrison's the superior poet tbh

@ 17:16 as y'all stole the instrumentals of sweet little sixteen

@ 20:04 we know his talent isn't with dancing

@ 24:25 considering bruce was raised rich, makes sense

@ 26:17 his brother is saul goodman?!

@ 28:20 as you didn't understand brian's perspective on music and didn't want to experiment with music

@ 34:59 i can't believe the beach boys invented concept albums

@ 37:11 except the beach boys are actually good

@ 37:50 the stations around where i live play nothing but the same 4 songs from the late 70s and the same 10 songs from the 80s, and i'm sure ac/dc and stevie ray vaughn make up 50% of that list. they literally never play anything from the 60s, the only time they do is the occasional roadhouse blues, riders on the storm, light my fire, born to be wild, and the b***les

@ 38:51 what if instead bruce went onto a nordvpn, skillshare, hello fresh, or raid shadow legends ad

@ 39:09 you might be popular with alex jones, dennis prager, and ben shapiro

#the shitposter commentates #the beach boys #brian wilson #al jardine #david marks #bruce johnston #mike love

My thoughts on Pitchfork's 150 best albums of the 1990s; #40-#31

There are three completely subjective criteria. 1: do I like the album, yes or no? (Basically, is this for me?) 2: Would I recommend it to anyone, yes or no? (is this for anyone else?) and 3: Is it better than STPs "Core"? (The lowest bar. Few things are better than "Purple," but Core should absolutely be in the top 150, so that's the bar.)

40: Nine Inch Nails: The Downward Spiral (1994). We're here in what should be rarified air. Top 40. Not quite the top 25% of this list, but definitely elite territory of albums released during the decade in question.

Is there anyone like Trent Reznor? There are people doing things with sound that approach comparison. There is Aphex Twin, Tricky, the various iterations of the Mars Volta. But none of them do what NIN does.

If I can get deep for a minute, this artist has been there for me. I've never done heroin, and there are many topics NIN covers that I've never experienced. But the reaction to Trent's problems sound like what is in my brain sometimes. Existence is filthy, painful, and loud.

And knowing that I'm not alone in my baseness, my anger, my transcendence - can be everything.

This should be higher on the list. There are going to be so many things higher than this that will be boring and useless. The Downward Spiral is of the top 10 albums of all time.

Like it: yes. Recommend: yes. Better than "Core": yes.

39: 2Pac: All Eyez on Me (1996). This album is a lot. I have a lot to learn about hip hop, and I think I could understand Tupac a lot better than I do. The delivery is crystal and the beats are spectacular. But some of it is hard to listen to, and it's not for me. But I recognize its greatness.

Like it: basically. Recommend: yes. Better than "Core": yes.

38: Janet Jackson: janet. (1993) It's fine. A lot of the songs seem like they are the music to a montage about like, party preparations. That's probably Hollywood's fault, not Janet's (I am not nasty.) That being said, some of these songs were great. I disagree that it's this high. I should probably copy/paste that for a lot of upcoming albums...

Like it: yes. Recommend: no. Better than "Core": probably.

37: Fiona Apple: Tidal (1996). Look, I tried to keep an open mind. I tried to listen with the same cautious pessimism with which I took in Elliot Smith.

But it didn't work. I do not enjoy this. I dislike the lyrics, I dislike the delivery of the lyrics, I dislike the assault with a deadly piano overmixing. I especially dislike the pretentious pearl-clutching of Apple's fans. And with this one (and, spoilers, When the Pawn... at #19?! fuck) I refuse to give an inch of ground. I will not say "maybe I'm wrong and it IS brilliant, just not for me". I refuse. Also: fuck it. Her singing is flat. Or sharp? I don't know. The notes are wrong.

Like it: no. Recommend: no. Better than "Core": NO

36: Lil' Kim: Hard Core (1996). Good beats, clear vocals. But hard to listen to. Made me embarrassed? I understand why Kim was such a story at the time. This shit is raunch. It's like "Dear Penthouse." Not my thing, but I'll grant you that it certainly broke ground. Fuckin' obliterated that ground, bro.

Like it: no. Recommend: no. Better than "Core": no.

35: The Breeders: Last Splash (1993). This is an extremely 1990s album. Esoteric and hard to pin down, other than "it is extremely 1990s." I enjoyed listening to it again. And I think that if someone put it on, I'd enjoy listening to it again. But will I seek it out, specifically to hear it again? I'm leaning toward "no."

Like it: yes. Recommend: yes. Better than "Core": maybe.

34: Aphex Twin: Richard D. James Album (1996). Predictably, I liked this album. I like Aphex Twin. I know I've read blurbs that have tried to say "it's too weird," or "it's scary" or whatever. But the weird is what makes it exemplary. This artist is an innovator, and broke ground that is still being examined 25-30 years later. There are other artists in the Venn diagram (NIN, Tricky, others not on this list.) But they are each extraordinary in unique ways. I've said all this before, haven't I?

Like it: yes. Recommend: yes Better than "Core": yes.

33: Talk Talk: Laughing Stock (1991). Maybe I'm in a bad (<5 hours of sleep, nothing in this world fucking works, and I'm chronically depressed anxious and angry) but: this album is nothing. The rambling, out-of-tune instrumental ravings of 2-5 overrated chumps.

"Taphead" is audio poison. 1 star. Do not recommend.

Like it: no. Recommend: no. Better than "Core": no.

32: Lucinda Williams: Car Wheels on a Gravel Road (1998). It was fine. Folky, well-executed, etc. I disagree that it's this high.

Like it: yes. Recommend: sure. Better than "Core": nope.

31: Neutral Milk Hotel: In the Aeroplane Over the Sea (1998). I definitely have thoughts. a. It's fine b. I'm sure it was "groundbreaking" at the time to have a lofi indie (and the internet is telling me 'psychadelic'? That can't be right) album. Now, it's nothing. I guess that shouldn't count against it... c. Neutral Milk Hotel was one of those bands that music guys in college would always be championing. Like "oh, I don't listen to pop radio, I only listen to Neutral Milk Hotel and Wheatus" or some shit. Doesn't make them good.

Like it: not really. Recommend: no. Better than "Core": no.

( let's see ) 26 , 36 , 37 , 48 , 50 , 82 , 90 , and 98 .

How long has this been here?! I didn't see it until now, wow. Apologies on the delay.

Tumblr doesn't show the date an ask was sent, so I have to guess which post this corresponds to. I think it was for this question list? It's the only recent one I can find that has 98+ questions on it, anyways.

26. Have you ever been famous?

Not to my knowledge! I had a speaking part in a school choir performance once. And in middle school when I wanted to try drama club, they cast me as the lead role, but I was like "Wait, wait, no, I don't want the LEAD role." But they wouldn't give me another one, so I wound up quitting the club that same week. :P I knew the lead would require a lot more work, memorization, and time than I wanted to put into it. Not to mention, I had MASSIVE stage fright and didn't want to be performing solo in front of the audience for long.

(Choir was different because the attention wasn't on me, specifically. The speaking part was different because it was like 30 seconds and then it was over, I could practice and perfect it and then get it over with and melt back into the blur of choir-singing faces.)

Anyways, I did get a poem published in a poetry collection once (I'm still bitter that it was, of all my poems, The Raven and The Dove), and I had a picture of a pointillism raven published in a pagan magazine when I was about 16, but I've never drawn much attention to me, specifically.

36. Favorite clean word?

Maybe "ephemeral"? Could also be "susurrus" or "murmuration", maybe diaphanous. I just love the sound of all those. But for sound as well as meaning, I think my favorite word is halcyon.

37. Favorite swear word?

Are we only talking about in English, or can I grab one from Finnish? Because there's something very cathartic about screaming "PERKELE" at something that pisses you off. (It translates to something like "devil", but it's pretty multi-purpose.)

If only English counts though, probably an F-bomb. A well-placed "fuck" adds so much color to our language. I love its adaptability, too! It can be delighted or furious, sincerely emotional or just really emphatic. When someone brings out the F word, usually you know they Really Mean It.

48. Can you curl your tongue?

Yep! I can twist it upside down, fold it backwards on itself, and partially do that "flower" pattern if I use my teeth as leverage, but I can't do it with 3-5 "petals" the way other people do. Also roll my Rrrr's and touch the tip of my nose with my tongue.

50. Left or right handed?

I'm like 75% ambidextrous! SLIGHTLY more right-handed than left, but not by much. Which hand I use varies greatly on the task and how I'm posed at the moment. If it's more convenient to use my left, or if my right shoulder is aching, I'll use my left no problem. When I was learning to write in elementary school, I kept switching my hands until my teacher eventually told me to use my right hand. I never practiced with my left, so I can only write with my right hand, but when I'm using other tools there's an equal chance of me using my left hand, especially for finer details.

82. How fast can you type?

The fastest I've ever clocked my typing was 120 words per minute! (Granted, I was typing the words of an Evanescence song I know by heart. But my brother timed me. My youngest sibling witnessed it. I typed for a minute and a half, and typed 180 words. Only a handful of typos, too!)

Even with editing and proofing, the temporary staffing test thing clocked me at 85wpm.

In short: HELLA fast.

90. What makes you angry?

A few broad-stroke, general things. Cruelty, bigotry, mistreatment, nationalism, cults, capitalism, generally things that hurt or manipulate people or leverage their suffering for someone else's gain.

Also people being willfully ignorant in a way that hurts other people. Subset of that, internet trolls. Other subset, intentionally ignoring peoples' needs.

And those who don't respect your boundaries when you lay them out clearly. It's okay if you accidentally cross a line without knowing I Don't Like That, but when I TELL someone "Hey, that's not cool, don't do that", and they keep doing it, then I get irritated. Forgetting the first few times is one thing. It'll Irk^tm me but it's understandable, I won't get Angry. But if you intentionally keep doing it because you think my reaction is funny, or because you don't think it's a problem and I ~shouldn't~ be bothered, then I'll get Annoyed and that quickly coalesces into Actual Anger.

98. Do you have any scars?

I have a few, actually! All but one of them are super tiny, though. A lot of them have faded since I started taking vitamins and medication that lets me actually absorb nutrition, but here's a selection off the top of my head:

~ The big one on my left arm from falling on a broken fan grate at about 4 years old.

~ The one at the base of my left pointer finger from my uncle's rabbit biting me.

~ The one on my shoulder from the time we had a breaking decorative fence gazebo thing and I ran into a nail sticking out.

~ The tiny patch of ancient rug burn from the time I was at my then-bestfriend now-girlfriend's house and watched a Teen Titans episode and got so emotional I somehow tripped over myself and scraped the back of my right hand on the carpet.

~ Very near that one, I have a scar from the time one of our family cats fell off the back of the couch and I caught her midair, but not without her claws digging into my hand. (She was just trying to catch herself, not hurt me, don't worry! It was Belle, who I strongly suspect had some kind of neurological thing going on because she was pretty clumsy and moved differently from other cats...)

~ I have very faded but still noticably Different-Textured scars on my heels from my very FIRST cosplay, the 80's Raven one. She had heels in the comics. I had never worn heeled shoes for longer than an hour before. I think I was at that convention for four hours. I didn't know my heels were actually bleeding until I took them off, and nobody had told me to put something cushiony over them...

~ The scar on my hip from, ironically, cosplaying my character who has a scar on her hip. My father, who did special effects as a hobby, told me to use rubber cement to stick the fake scar on, and I listened to him. Please, dear gods, DO NOT USE RUBBER CEMENT on your skin! That shit BURNED going on, it stung all day, and by the time the convention was over and I had to take a shower, it had eaten through four small patches of my skin. I later learned that stuff is super caustic and it was not, in fact, just because I have sensitive skin. I'm still bewildered that he told me to do that??? Spirit gum is the obvious answer, I know that now, but I very much did Not know that back then.`
