"I love Kaeya a lot, you know... and I know you love him a lot, too."
She swirls around her glass wine at the bar, watching carefully as it sticks to the sides.
"I think he misses you. More than he lets on, anyway. I know it's not exactly my place to meddle, but... I think it'd be worth it to invite him over once in a while. I think he really liked it when we paid a visit to the Winery recently, and Adelinde cooked him a favorite of his..."
Tumblr media
Evidently, Miss Grimhilt was a glass too deep, Diluc thought as he wiped down the condensation on the bar. Though, he wondered whether there wasn’t some kernel of truth in her tipsy confession, and he had far too much respect for her to dismiss her comments entirely.
He misses you.
I miss him too.
“I see…” he said, tossing his towel over his shoulder so that he might cross his arms and address Signe’s concerns appropriately. “Kaeya should know he has an open invitation to Dawn and can come and go as he pleases. In fact, it’s my understanding that he often comes by when I’m not present to get whatever free wine Elzer will hand over.”
But perhaps that was too harsh. And Signe was tipsy enough that she just might argue—an outcome he’d very much like to avoid, particularly since they’d soon be in-laws. A rather humbling thought.
“Still, I… appreciate what you do for him. I don’t think I’ve seen him looking quite so happy in years,” he added in a quieter tone. He sighed. “And I’ll… give the matter some consideration.”
And perhaps the next drink he served Signe ought to be watered down…

ALRIGHT, since Halloween is just around the corner and this blog is ALSO about sharing and talking about my full-time hyperfixation (music), I want to make some recommendations of "unusual" or just unknown songs that very well fit the theme! I've mentioned before that I love making thematic playlists and that I have rules for them everything (it's serious shit!!), so I wanna share some of the songs featured in my "Ecclectic Halloween" playlist. The two basic rules I applied for that playlist are:
The song MUST include anything supernatural, spooky, bizarre, "murder/serial killer", classic creature and so on
The song can be of ANY genre; is it metal? Prog? Disco? Electronic? Soundtrack? COOL, ALL ARE WELCOME!
Let's get started!
1 - Rainbow - Tarot Woman
youtube
As an unapologetic 70s dad rock advocate, I HAVE to start with one of my fave bands of the genre! The song begins with a DOPE synth/keyboard solo, and then iconic Dio (the one Dio from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure was named after) comes in with a bunch of cryptic imagery, like the predictions the tarot woman is telling him as she turns the cards side on:
Something in the air Tells me to beware - No, no, no! Her love is like a knife She'll carve away your life - So go, go, go! Beware of a place, a smile on a bright shiny face I'll never return, how do you know? Tarot woman! But I don't know, I don't know!
2 - Blackmore's Night - I Guess It Doesn't Matter Anymore
youtube
From the same breed of the first song, cause Blackmore was the guitar player / composer for Rainbow - except that Blackmore's Night is a project he made way later (late 90s), with his wife Candice Night, who sings all the songs and composes with him. This song is about the CLASSIC tale of someone giving a lift to a mysterious woman they found wandering at the side of the road; when they get to the place she wanted to go and asks to leave, the driver turns around! And the lady, she's suddenly gone!!!!!
Standing in the rain, the cold and angry rain In a long white dress, a girl without a name She stood beneath the light, Glowing like a candle bright I guess it doesn't matter anymore (...) Finally she spoke, 'come pull off the road' Saying she was headin' home I turned and she was gone, I was all alone
3- Loreena McKennitt - The Bonny Swans
youtube
You might be asking: "Oriel, what the fuck, why is soft spoken-christmas songs-traditional folk medieval instruments Loreena McKennitt in this playlist at all??? With a song named like THAT?? What is so scary about pretty glorified ducks anyway?" - And to that I'll say right off the bat this is the most metal song in the entire playlist, and I say this unironically. This song is inspired by an old ballad and it tells about a girl who was drowned by her own sister out of jealousy of her betrothed; the sister kills her so she can have the lad for herself. It already has murder, as you can tell - but it gets WORSE, as the body of the drowned girl floats down the river and is found by a miller's daughter; a passing-by bard then uses the dead girl's bones and golden hair to make a harp that plays on it's own, possessed by the dead girl's spirit???? She (as the harp) asks to be taken to the court, the bard takes her, and AS A CURSED HARP MADE OF BONES the dead girl outs her sister as her murderer, in front of the entire family and the court. Look. If this isn't METAL AF, I don't know what ELSE can be. The "bonny swans" from the title comes from the comparison Loreena makes of the pale girl's body floating in the water, to swans swimming along. kkkkkkkkkkk JESUS.
He made harp pins of her fingers fair With a hey ho and a bonny o He made harp strings of her golden hair The swans swim so bonny o He made a harp of her breast bone With a hey ho and a bonny o And straight it began to play alone The swans swim so bonny o He brought it to her father's hall With a hey ho and a bonny o And there was the court, assembled all The swans swim so bonny o He laid the harp upon a stone With a hey ho and a bonny o And straight it began to play lone The swans swim so bonny o
4- Sting - Moon Over Bourbon Street
youtube
Probably one of the most fun songs in this, because it's a song written by Sting, inspired by Anne Rice's "Interview With the Vampire"! The song is under Louis' PoV, and he laments his current condition as a vampire and also as a man of god, as he wanders through New Orleans's streets. This Sting's live performance of this song (the live in Berlin, 2010) is my favorite by far - there's a whole ass epic orchestra and even a theremin! hehe
I pray everyday to be strong For I know what I do must be wrong Oh you'll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feet While there's a moon over Bourbon Street It was many years ago that I became what I am I was trapped in this life like an innocent lamb Now I can never show my face at noon And you'll only see me walking by the light of the moon
5- AQUA - Halloween
youtube
Yes, THAT AQUA - turns out they DO have more songs other than Barbie Girl, and they actually slap - I was there in the 90s, when the Deep Eurodance Magic was written. I LOVE this one because it has such a fun vibe, and obviously, inspired by the "Halloween" movie franchise - Lene plays as the girl alone at night who receives a call from René, playing as the psycho who's after her. They even act that scene at the begining of the song dsjfhjsdgf so cool!
The sound of shoes, a shadow that moves Something odd is tic tac ticking Someone's in here, I'm so full of fear The telephone is ringing!!
6- E Nomine - Das Tier In Mir
youtube
ONE OF MY ALL-TIME FAVES IN THIS PLAYLIST. E Nomine was (?) a German electronic music project who DARED to mix in dark techno/trance beats AND CHANTS IN LATIN, as this deep-voiced dude sings/borderline-raps in German. ITS HARD TO EXPLAIN, BUT I PROMISE, ITS SO SO SO DOPE. They also sang about all sorts of religious / dark fantasy themes - they have an entire album based on the Bible, which I promise, they made it a LOT MORE RAD AND COOL than it sounds; and another album about the supernatural and all kinds of creatures, like vampires, ghosts, werewolves, demons. "Das Tier in Mir" or "The Animal In Me" is their "werewolf" song - it starts off with this kid singing in Latin about the forest, and the moonlight, and the song goes on with Deep Voice Dude singing under the werewolf's perspective; it even features a dramatic transformation sequence!!
[Latin]The forest is hidden, in the moonlight, My home is the forest In the starlight (...) Dark clouds and dark thoughts, The full-moon night smashes my barriers down. The animal desire that I massacre comes in me. I feel this bloodlust here and now. Deep in the night the twinkling stars, A sweet smell is drawing me into the distance. But careful if my passion gets aroused quite gently in the night And the hunter wakes up in me! (Translation from here - it's rather clunky, but that's the gist of it!)
7- E Nomine - Mitternacht
youtube
Yep! Another one by E Nomine, BECAUSE THEY JUST SLAP TOO HARD. "Mitternacht", or "Midnight" is pretty much about the Witching Hour, all the spirits comes out when the bell strikes midnight!! This one is SUCH A FAVORITE of mine because it sounds EXACTLY what a DJ would play as vampires dressed in fancy, old outfits and masks waltz around in a haunted, opulent manor
When the gondolas are in mourning and the dead's lament resounds horror is breathing down your neck When the clock starts striking cold thick fog is touching you gently ...midnight! [Latin] midnight, dark night, cruelty of the soul the bell is ringing twelve times ...midnight! (Translation from here - same from previous song, kinda clunky but we get it)
8- Dead or Alive - Something In My House
youtube
Another classic banger with the catchiest fucking tune ever, by You-Spin-Me-Right-Round-Baby-Right-Round Dead or Alive, sung by ICONIC genderfucker wizard Pete Burns (the Gender Envy of him in this video is real). I have to admit, this one is SLIGHTLY cheating on my rules, cause the "something in my house" in question is not anything supernatural - it's a metaphor for a gone-wrong relationship, lol. Ngl, I think this is kinda fucking brilliant. But like, the spooky, Halloween-y vibes are all there nonetheless: wolves are howling, Pete is singing in an old castle and looking 200% like a vampire. Even if I'm cheating a little, it still fits!
There is something in my house - my house, It's just a ghost of a long long dead affair, There is something in my house - my house, I just keep a hearing you runnin' on up my stairs, But you're not there
9- League of Legends - Fiddlesticks, The Harbinger of Doom
youtube
Finally, some soundtracks! I don't play LoL, but I absolutely love some of the character's themes, and Fiddlestick's is one of them! For what I've got, Fiddlesticks is like this ancient, nightmare-ish Freddie Krugger-like entity, and BOY, does the song reflect exactly THAT. It SOUNDS like a horror movie, and I'm obsessed about it!!
When fields lie calm and wind stands still (Run home, run home) As the crows make night of the fading Sun (Hide now, hide now) When the trees do bow, as if they weep (Stay down, stay down) Though its light beckons forth, a melody calls out (Too late, too late)
10- The Alan Parson's Project - The Cask of Amontillado
youtube
And!!! Last but not least!! Closing this playlist with THIS ULTIMATE DAD PROG ROCK BANGER, which as you can see, is inspired by Poe's tale "The Cask of Amontillado". In fact, the entire album where that song comes from, "Tales of Mystery and Imagination - Edgar Allan Poe", is inspired by his work. Yeah there are also songs on "The Raven" and "The Fall of the House of Usher" too for example! It's just so cool! But "The Cask of Amontillado" is by far my favorite, specially with the instrumental part at the end, ughhhh <3
By the last breath of the four winds that blow I'll have revenge upon Fortunato Smile in his face I'll say "come let us go I've a cask of Amontillado" (...) You who are rich and whose troubles are few May come around to see my point of view What price the Crown of a King on his throne When you're chained in the dark all alone
This is definitely a long ass post, and I really had to cut it even shorter bc of Tumblr's dumbass video limit, but that's alright. I might even put up a part II, hehe I hope you like the Halloween-y songs recs!!

(Instagram source)
So, Sim Kern has a tiktok on moral injury and leftist spaces. My problem isn't with the video itself (I found it quite insightful and now have another book rec to add to my ever growing tbr list) but with a particular comment on Sim Kern's instagram post of this tiktok:
Tumblr media
To explain, the reason why I have an issue with this comment is because there is a tendency for left-leaning military veterans (esp those from the US) to prioritize/privilege/center their own hurt feelings over being "rejected" from leftist spaces. And what's even more frustrating is how so many pple, including Sim Kerns themselves, are jumping into the replies to comfort alexramos8485.
And this is frustrating to me because as a society, we are often expected to understand why military veterans, esp those from the imperial core, chose to serve in the military as evidenced in this reply:
Tumblr media
And this is because we have been conditioned by Western media to sympathize with military veterans from the imperial core (also becos the West has a lot of cultural softpower). So many tv shows and movies from the West are devoted to understanding the psyche of these soldiers, the troubles facing them when they return home from a tour, uncovering the backstories that led to them making the choice to serve in the military.
So here we are understanding why military veterans make the choices that they make, however these military veterans often do not make the same effort to understand why there are leftist spaces that are "hostile" towards them. This reply really sums my thoughts:
Tumblr media
I'm not saying that we should reject military veterans from leftist spaces, they provide unique perspectives and experiences that are of use when building movements and coalitions. I just wish that for veterans from the imperial core wanting to enter leftist spaces, y'all have to do the work, y'all have to learn to de-center your feelings and actually listen to the pple impacted by the wars caused by your country's military forces which you are also complicit in, actually prioritize their feelings. One of the greatest strengths of leftism is that we leftists are a very diverse and ecclectic bunch so there are tons of leftist circles that exist, but remember that you are neither entitled to forgiveness by those affected by your complicity in your country's military nor to being in all leftist circles.

Miscellaneous Alfred Pennyworth headcanons because he is immortal and you can't tell me otherwise
Alfred HATES musicals. Hates them. Especially Broadway, do not get him started on Andrew Lloyd Webber. He has a vendetta against the man not only because he thinks mega musicals are cheap schlock, but also for RUINING his son for a good 4 months after Phantom of the Opera came out. That shit was Bruce's MCR. he's skulking through the manner in a blanket cape with dark eyeliner playing the title song at deafening volume. Harvey enables him for months just to get on Alfred's nerves. Besides that, the batfam insists he doesn't like musicals as a genre because he can't sing. They are correct.
In my heart of hearts, Alfred was the OG 'finders keepers applies to wayward children'. When Bruce started working with other heros Alfred started checking in on them regularly, especially the ones who were far from home or lost their families. It's not uncommon to see Hawkgirl or Diana or J'onn at the manor when they're feeling homesick.
If a league member has at least one parent that's able to be contacted, said parent is invited to monthly get togethers with the rest of the league parents. They have a little club to talk about their kids. Okay it's more of a support group
If someone needs to be looked after due to sickness or injury and the league can't spare a team mate to do it, they're brought to the manor. Its no secret that most hope for this outcome.
It's a running joke that everyone, everyone gives Alfred a gift on fathers day.
One such Father's day the teen titans made "if lost return to Alfred Pennyworth" shirts for every batfriend (somewhere around 20+ people when alls said and done). They have a big group photo with them all, Alfred in the middle with a shirt that says "keep them".
Alfred watches soap operas regularly, and has seen every episode of Dynasty to date. Where he finds the time nobody knows, but he is knowledgeable on all the TV drama within the shows and behind the scenes. He has pretty ecclectic taste too, given he speaks a couple languages.
One time, while deliriously sick, Jason found him watching The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. All of the batkids insist this was some fever induced hallucination. They are wrong.
Alfred is a world class pot stirrer. There is so little of substance at the myriad of galas he has to attend that he makes his own fun, sue him. It's a leftover pass time from Martha's days - people were objectively cruel to her and gossipped at her expense often, so she returned it in kind. She was truly a legend in this regard and Alfred was her right hand man. They were experts at sewing seeds of doubt with a single comment ("Oh I'm so sorry sir, I assumed the woman over there was your wife") and watch the world burn, wine in hand. He missed having a partner in crime in that regard - eventually, Jason and Steph fill that role.
Bruce and Alfred have been locked in a decades long battle for Bruce's posture. He will go into shrimp position if given any opening and Alfred is determined to not let that happen. Idk if anyone else's parents did this, but Alfred is absolutely the type of parent to poke/push the small of your back until you sit up straight. He also does this for every batkid, even unofficial ones. Tragically it is too late for Tim.
Both Alfred and Bruce are fond of pen pals, though Alfred kept his up for much longer. He writes letters to his few friends back in England, to the Kents, various heros, he even manages to get mail to Themyscira.
To anyone under the age of fifty (excluding Bruce, maybe) his natural handwriting is completely illegible. Peak old person cursive, it is supernatural how his friends manage to read it. He writes very neat and very small, with very little space in between the lines. Its nightmarish. He does know how to write legibly for the sake of the kids, but his personal notes are practically in code.
Okay this one's a little out there - Alfred's posh accent isn't his natural one. It's natural now, since he's been using it so long, but growing up him and his family spoke in a more country/cockney accent - except for his mom, who had the more posh recieved pronunciation one. I've rewritten Alfred's entire backstory so bear with me She was the head housekeeper for a wealthy family, and she came from a more 'refined' area, so she carried herself with the more stereotypical fancy British manners. Alfred loved his mom, looked up to her more than anything in the world, so he adopted her mannerisms (and accent) whenever he could. He was teased mercilessly for it as a kid, so he stopped, but once he left home to join the military he fully adopted the persona to distance himself from his father and brother. The only time the original accent would slip through was when he was really, blindingly angry or upset, and only Bruce and Dick have ever heard it.
He has a flat within the manor, like a little apartment for his own space. It's initially sparsely decorated, but over the years it accumulates a borderline absurd amount of photos. Some of them are of him, mostly military friends, him with Martha and Thomas, or souvenirs from his theater days. The vast majority are his kids though. Pictures of Bruce from every stage of his life of course (the kids have a field day when they find them) and a smattering of pictures Bruce has drawn for him over the years, from crayon scribbles to charcoal portraits. The halls are lined with photos of the grandbats, many big milestones but also personal ones caught on candid camera: the first time Damian smiled while being hugged, Cassandra and Bruce playing bridge, Dick and Jason asleep after their first mission. On the wall at the end of the hallway hangs the old family portrait - Martha, Thomas, 6 year old Bruce, and him. Though he's not particularly spiritual, it's placement makes him feel like Martha and Thomas can see how their family has grown.

Spring Festival II: Part 4
@counsellorerestor
(Continued from Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3)
Despite their friendship, it was in fact the first time that Glorfindel would get to see Erestor's rooms. There have not been many chances nor reasons to see it; Imladris, after all, boasts the welcoming warmth of the Hall of Fire, and Glorfindel has not resided in the Valley long enough for there to be an occasion when they might need an alternate venue where their offices or the gardens did not suffice.
He therefore places the roses with near reverent care on the table Erestor indicated. Erestor's rooms suit him perfectly: elegant, organised, yet clearly lived in, filled with things that Erestor favours. Glorfindel would have wished for more time to look around, but he does not wish to appear too nosy when he is supposed to be merely passing.
Another time, Glorfindel thinks, hoping that now that he's come here, there would be reason again in the future to do so.
Sure enough, Erestor returns shortly, which Glorfindel welcomes with a smile.
They leave Erestor's rooms and cross the hallways. Glorfindel's rooms are a little more at the end of the wing, on the east where one can meet the Sun as it rises each day.
Glorfindel opens the door to his rooms, where immediately they are greeted by a large open window on the other side. While the room itself makes up the seating area of the place, complete with the simple fireplace that keeps the room warm and cosy on colder days, Glorfindel himself spends the most time on the cushioned nook by that very same window. The sill is lined with green plants flourishing in their pots, an ecclectic mix of herbs and small forest ferns, calatheas, flowering daisies, golden begonias, and a young bed of pansies. A delicate orchid hangs from one corner, yet to flower, while white morning glories peek from where they cling to the outside walls of the main house. Beside the pots are a humble row of books, there to keep Glorfindel company on days when he is at leisure enough to read.
“Please make yourself at home,” bids Glorfindel as he gestures Erestor to come inside. “I will not be long. I just need to wash off the grime of the fields and return to my festival robes, and I should once again be fit for polite company.”

The Shoemaker's House
You can check out the new revealing video here!!
youtube
Let's begin this new ecclectic location by taking a look at part of the ground floor!!
Located close to downtown in a small town in Ontario, we find this eclectic masterpiece of a house. What started out as a relatively average size home, it had been slowly expanded over the years to create a maze of rooms in what now resembles more of a mansion. There were columns leading to the front door, many different surface types, such as brick and stonework and of course the shoe forms built into parts of the structure as well!
The home looked as though it was broken up into several apartments, with a number 5 on one of the doors, indicating at least that many units.
The home was sold in 2021 to a development company and the current proposal is to build a 7-storey apartment building with 193 units on this and the neighbouring property.

What are you seeking?
Home
"i wish i could say i am a light that never goes out, but i flicker from time to time."
// oh, little one, you have burned for so quietly for so long, haven't you? burnt yourself out trying to give others light? wishing, desperately, that they would notice the way your hands shake or the wildflower bruises under your tired eyes. but they never have, have they? and so, it obviously wasn't bad? right? you had more to give, didn't you? how much could you pour yourself out before they noticed? it is all you've ever known, after all. help, help, help, help. (are you providing it, or begging for it?) but you've given too much, spread yourself too thin, didn't you? you are so heavy, so tired. you have spent your life carrying for others the way you wished someone would care for you. but you're worried, aren't you? that if you can't be what they need, if you can't be the pillar for others to lean on, they'll leave you. what you seek is home, a safe place to rest and be taken care of. and little light, you deserve it. you have earned it. you are worth more than what you can provide for others: you deserve the same care you so freely give out. they will love you all the same, honey. set down the world, and rest that weary heart of yours

@electric-ecclectic | unprompted soft | always accepting!
It was rare for Signe to have a morning in, as duty so often called early in the morning for a Knight of Favonius. The light filtering through the curtains cast a warm glow on the bed, suggesting that it was later in the morning; it also drove Signe further under the covers, trying desperately to gather what little extra sleep she could. She could feel Kaeya's warmth tangled around her, and despite his usually cooler body temperature, the warmth felt cozy, compelling her to snuggle impossibly closer. It was unusual for him to be here with her so late into the morning, and so she found herself snuggled into his chest, breathing in his warmth, soaking up his company for the time being. His hair brushed against her form, and the faintly earthy scent of his cologne lingered in his bed. That's right, she began to remember, I hadn't gone home last night. He'd found her at the Ordo late last night, rummaging through texts and tomes to gather up whatever last-minute information she could on her current project. The Captain's apartment was far closer than her own, and she'd taken up his offer to spend the night - landing her here, waking up next to him. "We need a vacation," she mumbled into him, muffled by the closeness of skin. "Don't wanna get up..."

Kaeya rarely slept in, anymore. Dreams, insomnia, a sleep schedule ruined by burning the midnight oil... whatever it was, he typically rose with the light of morning, except (it would seem) when Signe was in his arms. He wasn't really awake when she began to wiggle, trying to burrow her way deeper into the warmth beneath the blankets, chasing the last fleeing whispers of sleep. A sigh passed his lips, and he coiled his arms more securely around her, tucking his face into the mussed wisps of her hair and the thick, plush layers of bed linens.
He wanted more than anything to ignore the way sunlight filtered through the dark of his curtains, hardly bright enough to sting their eyes, but enough that he could guess at the hour...
Late, at least for rising. He would not make the Ordo on time, or the Good Hunter for the left-over of their best coffee blend, or even assembly for the passing out of the patrol schedules.
Their legs were a tangle of his and hers, and he seemed to bring her nearer, tighter, warmer, almost unconsciously.
"Vacation?" Came the husky murmur. It was clear he had drifted back off. "Hm-mh..."
It took a moment more, but he finally blinked open one eye (golden, hazy) and then the other. He watched the way morning shadows played on the wall, and in the quiet, his fingertips loosened the end of her braid, weaving into the strands,
"I know of another way to arrange a vacation-" He offered gently in a tease, pressing his lips to her forehead in a gentle kiss, "A honeymoon would necessitate, don't you think?"
