Whatever you do, don't think about Aziraphale and Crowley while you're practicing On the Street Where You Live. Certainly don't think about the headcanon that they can sense each others' proximity on Earth, or the fact that they can travel the whole earth to be near each other. And DEFINITELY don't think about how Crowley would "let the time [world] go by," as long as they could be near each other.
But if you do all that, you might as well put on a wig and a scarf and sunglasses and make a video.
Listen, I know Percy is just a kid who's bearing the weight of saving the world on his shoulder, knowing there's a high chance he will die at the end of it even if he survives - but. The way in the last Olympian he's so ready to judge and condemn Nico without thinking twice, he wants to fucking strangle him, he stops trusting him and considers him a traitor (and he kind of his okay, but not really!) - even when he knows that Nico didn't mean it, that everything he told him was true and that he never meant to hurt him, he just wanted to help.
Nico's only fault is that he trusted his father too much, and really Percy could try and understand him and his reason. But he doesn't. He never tries to understand him, he just discards him like an afterthought. Like - where's the "I'm gonna take the prophecy on myself to keep him safe bc he doesn't deserve to suffer anymore" gone? Where's the "I feel guilty and I want to help him"??? Did he forget everything?? Can he try and empathize with him for just one second???
okay actually looked at the lover boy wip intro again and this has me crazy because the grief in this was meant to all be about bobby but "remember that his favourite fruit was peaches and try not to cry over it" got me because felix's favourite fruit being peaches is like. a recent but definitive part of his character. and i can't remember if i just used peaches as a placeholder for bobby's favourite fruit (he does not give peach to me) and if i first wrote this before or after i decided peaches were felix's BUT now i'm like. what if this passage is him grieving bobby but it spirals around his grief for his relationship with felix??? find a lover the way you found felix and don't lose him this time but also find a lover because you're trying to find a connection as deep as the one you had with your best friend even though you know it can never be replicated. you can never find a lover that will love you like bobby (platonic, to be clear) loved you. find a lover in the fact you are alive even though it makes you nauseous because it just reminds you that your best friend isn't. how do you grieve someone who's still alive whilst simultaneously grieve someone who isnt? trying to grieve two people in two different ways and you feel guilty at the way they blend and blur because it feels like you lose your separate grips on both of them and you don't feel like you have space in you to accommodate all this ache. and like what if i edited all this to make that parallel more clear?? that his primary grief is bobby because he's the one who's dead but he's also grieving felix and probably doesn't even realise it?? and then the two become blurred?? and if he realised this he would actually feel fucking awful about it and like a bad friend?? haha just kidding unless??
thinking about how good steve is at taking care of you... he's so quick to figure out just what you need to feel better, and he loves babying you, pampering you, wrapping you up in his strong arms and caring for you and kissing you until you feel better. he loves the way you need him, looking to him to make descisions when you're just too tired, leaning into his touch when exhaustion sets in. after he drags you into a shower and washes and conditions your hair and rubs some nice smelling lotion into your skin, he pulls out your skin care products, knowing the exact ordrer of the steps and the right amounts to use, you don't even have to remind him. he carries you to bed, bundling you into his chest while soft music or a tv show plays in the background. laying on his soft hairy chest feels like being put on a wireless charger at 5% battery, the warmth from his skin slowly bringing you back to life. your stevie takes such good care of you, and no matter how you're doing, you always feel better when you're around him.
I have a chronic illness called “unable to pick up a game again mid-game” that prevents me from actually playing persona 5 (the game with a 10 hour long tutorial)
[Start ID. A drawing of two scavengers from Rain World, one labelled Sanic and the other one Shrek. Sanic's fur is light brown, with darker extremities, a messy row of pale green spines down its back, and bright blue eyes. They sit contentedly, staring at the screen, with a couple grenades by its feet. Shrek has pale fur, a green head, hands, and feet, and brown eyes. It's facing to the right, with their arms splayed out and an explosive spear on their back. Beside each scavenger are a few woefully-compressed screencaps of their in-game appearance. End ID]
An ode to these silly beasts, who accompanied me on my second visits to Industrial and Chimney
Also that put me in mind of my clearest memory of reading @ultrace 's pathfinder books*, of, and I'm sure he'll correct me if I'm wrong, knowing in my heart of hearts that michiru would be an inquisitor of we could deal with the faith thing or make it otherwise work.
But the ends justify the means, mind fucking, detecting lies shit, that's michiru.
*doc why were you doing that? I don't think you understand, I was the girl who read the cereal box at breakfast when I was a kid. I didn't have a smartphone until I was in my 20s but still managed to nearly get into a reading based accident, just with a magazine. They were sitting on the table.
So the concept behind this is that Kim releases a post-canon album and Porchay releases an album of his own in response. I love the idea of how the songs on each of these would affect the other person listening to them, as well as giving both characters the ability to use songs to communicate feelings that they can't express openly in person.
KimChay - Why else would I tutor you?
A big mixture of both KimChay albums + some extras that didnt fit either album but fit KimChay as a whole or inspired me while writing.
Additional Playlists and rambling under the cut 🖤
VegasPete Shoot Me || VegasPete Let it Out
I love both these VP moods but struggled with mixing them in a single playlist! The vibes were too all over the place - so now theres one for the emotional stuff and one for the self-destructive decisions bourne from hedgehog funerals and bisexual lighting
SO! Thoughts on playlists:
The concepts behind the KimChay playlists are my favourite and they're the ones I put the most thought into! - I started them back in july and I'm still adding to them now! They're not necessarily all about Kim and Chay's relationship per-se, there are a couple that I think really fit Kim's relationship with his brothers for example, or the way that Porchay feels living in the compound with his lack of autonomy. I've tried to keep a consistent sound/vibe throughout and match both the lyrics and the sound to the melancholy post canon situation!
My absolute favourite is Chay's album (lovingly referred to as the chaylist). Picturing the absloute breakdown Kim would have listening to some of these songs sang by Chay is so delicious to think about. Hopefully these would be the catalyst to a KimChay resolution!
There are a couple of other less developed/experimental playlists like for KinnBig, Tankhun (sad lol) and KimBig on my spotify profile! (as well as some other non KP playlists)
If you liked any of these, found a new favourite, or found them useful/helpful for art/writing/rotating the faves in your mind, feel free to share and to come yell at me about them here! DMs are open, anons are on! I'd love to hear your thoughts!!!
see sometimes I try and think about it all more logically. what if it was all happening to a friend. my friend!! you completely forgot to feed your kitten his wet food for five days? you haven't drunk water for a couple of days? you didn't shower or change your clothes for four days? you've only eaten two actual meals in the last two days? your average sleep in the last week is around five hours? my friend, you need help.
just thinking about kaveh (yes again) and how i think he'd love to study the chasm, to be able to fiddle and learn about the rocks and minerals there
it would be a perfect place to learn about steadier foundations, how to work with different types of rocks and how to best combine them, after all he needs such knowledge to continue to improve his architecture (not to mention more inspiration and a million other things he could learn). really what better way to learn about such things than the land of geo?
also thinking about how zhongli would still be the geo archon and is still working as a consultant and that is how he ends up being kaveh's guide through the chasm and the rest of liyue
they get along extremely well, which taking turns going on deep tangents about whatever subject comes about while the other listens and attentively (and in kaveh's case when the subject is very particular, taking frantic notes)
during this trip, kaveh was extremely worried about his expenses and made sure to budget everything as this was not a cheap journey but he figured that it would be worth it all in the end
and zhongli was extremely observant, he had noticed this and it he finally understands one night when after dinner (paid by zhongli) kaveh got drunk and spilled his heart out to the man it was so easy to talk to him for some reason
this made zhonglis heart stirr even more at this point, he'd already been captivated by the architects sunny personality and deep heart so this made him come to a decision: he'd look out for kaveh
and so during the rest of the trip, he made sure to pay for everything leaving the younger man quite flustered and whenever he noticed the architect looking at something with an interested look he didn't hesitate to get him whatever it was
I never thought I would see a video of you singing! You are so beautiful. Your voice is amazing! To see your cuteness while you sing is wonderful. Those cheeks! Your face is so expressive, and your shoulder roll was so fun. Those freckles! and that giggle at the end...(big sigh)...
The sound I made when I saw the ask about it was not as embarrassing as the sound I made when found that the video was still up. You have made me so happy with this. I know it's silly but I teared up listening to it because I had to close my eyes to stop from crying. This is so beautiful! You are so beautiful and it has nothing to do with how you look. Thank you Princess! Thank you!
