starry night | aemond targaryen

author's note: my first aemond fic to officially write - though not the first one that came to me (👀). hopefully, this will be enjoyable. spotify has the playlist from the expo. you can listen to it while reading or not. all up to you :) lots of love & stay safe 💕

She was unbothered by the crowd, her ears soothed by the soft orchestra as its violin and cello strings swiftly danced through her headphones, the item covering the entirety of her cartilage.

Her focus was given to the timeless masterpiece, her gaze following the road of the paintbrush as it retraced the softness of the model’s curves; from afar, she had the sight to detect the faintest of details.

Even in-cased by thick glass where soft glare could be reflected at times, she could still depict the colors colliding with such ease from the forms of the background to the veil she wore, down to her right hand resting over her left wrist.

She was taken by the art until a presence quietly made itself known by her side; to her left stood a tall man. He bore a pronounced jawline, platinum hair and from the corner of her eyes, she could depict a hint of lavender decorating his right iris. He was slender and held himself with his arms behind his back as he gave his attention to the painting in front of him, ignoring the commotion of the cameras and the people surrounding them.

Removing her headset, it rested around her neck when she heard a soft grunt, a little ‘hm’. She smiled, biting the corner of her bottom lip as she dropped her head down, stifling a chortle. She then turned her head to the man as he spoke under his breath.

“She is overrated.” His gaze hadn’t moved, his words disappearing into the collective but not to her.

“Then why are you here?”

Her tone wasn’t accusatory. Instead, she was indulging him almost, amused at the fact he still stood and stared at Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa.

He was taken aback by her comment, not having realized she had heard him. He turned his head to her and huffed - almost a chuckle - as the corner of his lips curved upwards. “Good point.”

She turned her eyes back to the painting, her head slightly tilting as she searched for her words. “I find her… intriguing.” The man remained put, his one good eye reverting to the piece of art that hung a few feet away from them. “She is hiding a secret, forever kept in the back books of history.”

He chuckled, not fully impressed by her remark. He thought it generic even though he knew, in the back of his mind, it was made to amuse him. “That is what everyone is saying.”

The lopsided grin won him over, her eyes meeting his. “Doesn’t mean it isn’t true.” She had quickly glanced to his injured eye, the color now a simple faded crystal blue. It didn’t bother her, and no reaction had come from her, which he silently appreciated.

He inspected her as she, once again, looked away. She wore a wool wrapped coat that covered her down passed her knees, the belt tightened around her waist. Her hair looked almost disheveled from the knitted beanie she had removed, though her locks covered her gracefully as they rested around her while highlighting the shades of her eyes.

He saw the headphones around her neck and smiled to himself; his own pair were held captive in his coat pocket.

They stood for a few more minutes in silence, looking ahead at the painting.

She was ready to move on but lingered, not wanting to part ways with the man standing next to her.

He had grown annoyed with the crowd, desperate to leave the herd, but refrained as he was not ready to separate from her just yet.

She picked her phone out of her pocket and looked at the time, the clock dangling above her paused playlist. She then pivoted to him, biting down her lip as she gathered courage to speak to him again.

He noticed her changed position and peered at her, entranced by her stature. She had placed her arms behind her back, close to rocking on her toes as she quickly scanned the people around her before setting her eyes on him again.

Inquisitive and hopeful, she held her breath.

“This might be a bit forward, but… how do you feel about Van Gogh?”

It was overwhelming to say the least.

Diving headfirst, they were transported into a new reality, surrounded by moving images, the projectors guiding them across the several rooms that inhabited Van Gogh’s life through his works of art.

Submerged under the rays of colors, bathing under their illuminating glow, they were consumed by the sensory experience; bodies were wrapped within the various masterpieces, from the elegant portraits to the hundreds of landscapes. The duo was entranced into captivation as the musical score resonated from wall to wall, catching the essence of the paintings into its staff where the clefs kept the notes afloat with the shifts and swirls of the artist’s hopes and dreams.

He was buried under the cascading lights, their intensity following the waves of the moving pictures. He was lost in his own amazement, in the thrill and sheer emotional rollercoaster he had embarked on; he enjoyed these works in passing, but only now could he truly understand the man’s pain.

He turned around, his sight taking in the floating petals washed away by the wind to the waves of the oceans, to the ogling stares of portraits and voiced-out letters, until he eventually saw his companion.

She stood a few feet away, intently staring at Van Gogh’s Self Portrait with a Pipe, when he was pulled in.

She had been staring at it for a while, her eyes never wavering away from the man’s stare as he would blink while the smoke of his pipe danced in the air. She couldn’t tell what it was that shook her, what made her tremble to her very core, when she broke down. Silently tearing up, the old man was looking down at her as melancholy soaked his eyes, the gaze — a feathered touch of poignancy.

Her guest was befuddled at his sight, to find her quietly crying in the dark was perplexing. He couldn’t have known the truth behind her tears, the reason her emotions strangled her through the music. The heartbreak she endured months ago, when she was forced to part ways with her fiancé due to his indiscretions — she had finally let the bourgeoning storm find her, drowning her in her impending ache.

“Are you alright?” He approached her, worried while she remained frozen in front of the portrait.

“Y-yes!” She had forgotten about her surroundings, his inquiry pushing her away from her trance. “Sorry about that. I don’t know what happened…” She let out a broken chuckle as she wiped the tears that strung across the corners of her eyes.

“Was it the painting?” He was still curious, wanting to understand the circumstances of her gentle unraveling.

She tilted her head to him, offering him a small smile. “I think the painting just brought it out of me.”

As she spoke, the old man went away, the projectors continuing their route as they rode the audience into other works, welcoming them with more notable pieces, such as Starry Night.

She took a deep breath, finding herself a seat on a bench and watched the stars move around them from across the four walls to the ground, right under their feet.

The instruments’ chords brought her back to her trance, leaving only the boy in their shared reality.

He could only stare at her, the echoes of her voice quieting down the static noise that lived in his head; all was now left unplugged, creating utter deafness.

It was peaceful, and he felt he could finally breathe.

He watched her in awe, the variation of blues etched across the sky where the golden stars warmed the hues; she was absorbed by the landscape as if she had been part of the picture itself.

He was enthralled by her presence, the feelings thrumming against his heart and rekindling the spark of a dying flame, the embers laying low within the desert of ash around them.

It had been way too long since he last felt this way.

The heat raised his skin, shivers covering his entire body as he stuck to her, unable to partake in the rest of the exposition any longer. He had lost himself in her, taking in the way she had been immersed in the moving brushstrokes as they danced and rippled to her every footstep, her ability to appreciate the works around her, her knowledge of these renderings, the connection she had built by the simple look just enough to bring her to tears.

All he could do was take her in, like fresh air, and admire the work of art that stood in front of him.

And then the lights went out, the room once again diving into the darkness until a voice was heard above their heads, reading out loud the written words that were shared between the painter and his brother.

The young man was pulled out of his reverie and looked away from her, taking in a slow breath to calm the bombardments in his chest.

His mind was still quiet, which he thanked.

It had been a while since he could last hear himself think.

But even now it seemed, his words strung nonsense.

The woman had taken his senses captive, luring him into complete ignorant bliss, and he loved it.

The expo, eventually over, the ending was presented with simple sentences that were etched across the walls.

They made their way towards the exit, both parties reluctant to walk away from one another.

She turned to look at him, catching a glimpse of his bi-colored gaze into her sight. She held her breath, enjoying the way the remaining lights captured the shades of his irises into perfect harmony.

Afraid to end the momentum, he took the lead and stepped forward, though not too close as to invade her personal space.

“I would like to see you again.” He spoke gently, carefully, patiently waiting for her response. His words were not a request, nor were they imposing.

She smiled, flattered. “I’ll make room in my schedule, then.”

Questions were not part of their relationship; they always held affirmative back-and-forth instead, knowing that inquiring was unnecessary.

“I’m honoured.” He spoke up, cheekiness underlaid in his tone as he indulged her with his infamous smirk, the one that always made her bite the inside of her cheek to hold herself back.

She grinned at him, dropping the playful charade they have been sharing this evening.

“It was nice to see you again, Aemond…” She sighed, content. “It’s been too long.”

He nodded, pensive. “It has.”

He had missed her terribly.

They lost touch in the last few years. She had moved away after getting engaged and started a new life on the other side of the world while he was left alone, their love for each other withering away before it had a chance to bloom, the dirt drying up without water.

Silence hung between them, like a friend wrapping its arms around the couple’s shoulders in a joint trio.

She then spoke again, biting her lip in thought. “I’m not really ready to go yet, and god knows I could use some air…” She let out a breath, her courage gathered on the tip of her tongue. “Do you want to go and get some coffee? We could catch up.”

He agreed to her proposition, marching towards the door as he opened it for her, inviting her into the cool air of the city’s night.

She smiled and graciously walked through before he followed her.

They stepped outside meeting the dim lit stars and their moon hovering above them; the golden colours were present whereas the blue had been transformed into its reality counterpart - pure darkness wearing an essence of sublimity instead of its usual malevolence.

Side by side, they took their time walking down the streets, his name tickling her lips into a softening smile. It was better than any orchestra, he thought, the composition of her voice alone making him feel like a spectator at his own opera show, his lost love becoming the conductor of their renewed symphony.

The past caught up to them, taking them left and right without a real destination anymore.

The roads were open, the warmth of their encounter illuminated under a starry night.

------------------------------

a/n: the exposition was based on something I attended. Loved it. If you need an outing and this happens in your city, go for it. You don't have to be an art advocate, or even really know Van Gogh in depth to appreciate his work and this immersive experience. It's overwhelmingly beautiful (does that make sense?) and worth the 1-2h :)

YEONJUN X READER

"I know that he's my ex, but can't two people reconnect?"

《Part. 1》

Pairing:: Yeonjun x fem!reader

Warnings::none

Based off the song "bad idea right" by Olivia Rodrigo

A/N::I've never made a fanfic quite like this and it's about to get GOOOD just keep updated bro

☆-June last year-☆

"Baby listen, please~" Yeonjun pleaded as he held your hands. You had just caught him cheating on you with a girl he told you "not to worry about" but oh this punk was hearing it from you.

"No! You seriously hooked up with that whore?!" You shouted at him. "We're done." You said as you stomped to the door and went to close it before his hand grabbed it.

"Baby, please I can explain," he started with those big doe eyes.

"Call me your ex." You shoved his hands off the door and slammed it. You got in your car and drove home.

☆-September last year-☆

After a loser prom by yourself and a summer of deciding what to do with your future it was officially September. You were taking at least a one gap year before deciding your future.

☆-December last year-☆

You moved into an apartment that was quite nice and all of your new friends lived in the apartments next to you and one lived right above you. All that considered, you still felt lonely. They all had partners but you were alone in your little apartment. But there was no way that you'd ever consider getting back with him.

☆-May-☆

You were at a party in your friend's dorm for her birthday and there was a lot of boy gossip. You had told them about Yeonjun before but not the whole story. They were super into it and as you told them everything about him you felt yourself daydreaming all of the sudden…

"Wait, is this Choi Yeonjun?" Iris questioned.

"Yup that's the boy," you said as your feet swayed in the air.

"Oh my boyfriend is friends with him! I have his number~" she grinned. "Wanna talk to him?" She said innocently.

"Girl what? Did you not just hear the story about him?" Your friend Tiamara spoke up.

"Yes, but he's so nice now! I think that break up really woke him up," Iris smiled. You thought for a moment before the rest of your friends shook their heads.

The next day you asked Iris in private to give you his number. You unblocked him on all of his socials and he started liking your posts. You did the same, swiping through all the photos and double clicking the screen. He had a nice Instagram, it was quite the vibe. You then came upon a post of him crying with a song playing. You felt your heart shatter as you read the caption. The song that was playing was a song made about you.

You clicked on the audio and found his Spotify. You followed him and looked through his playlists. They were all very calming so you played one. You went back and liked the post about you and went to his DM's and tried to decide what to say to him.

☆-June-☆

Today was the big day. The first time you'd be hanging out with Yeonjun since you broke up with him. He invited you to hang out at Starbucks nearby and of course you agreed. You took a deep breath and went out of your apartment. You crawled into your car and pulled out your phone. You messaged Yeonjun

"Omw over now ;)"

You took another deep breath and started the car.

You arrived at Starbucks and saw his car parked up at the front. You parked next to him and when you got out of your car you saw him standing by the door in a rainbow plaid shirt with black jeans. You walked up to him and he instantly complimented you. "Your hair looks so nice," he smiled softly and looked down at the ground with pink cheeks. "Your shoes are also really pretty," he rubbed the back of his neck and looked away. You smiled wide.

"Thank you, I got these recently," you said as you looked down at your shoes. You looked up again to see Yeonjun smiling at you.

"Shall we head in now?" He said as he raised his chin and put one of his hands in the pocket of his jeans. He opened the door for you and you walked inside the coffee shop. While waiting in line you thought to yourself "he has changed so much. Whatever could have happened? Or maybe he's trying to win me over again…"

"Y/N?" He spoke and it knocked you out of your thoughts.

"Sorry, yes?" You smiled.

"What are you going to order?" He asked and you could see a lingering emotion in his eyes. What was that emotion? You couldn't tell.

"Probably a strawberry acai with either lemon or coconut water base," you explained and he nodded.

"You always did order the strawberry acai," he said softly.

"What was that?" You asked.

"Nothing!" The two of you moved forward in the line and you continued the conversation.

"So what are you going to order?" You smiled as you looked at his puffy lips and big eyes that were scanning the room.

"Probably an iced americano," he shrugged and you smiled.

"You always did order an iced americano," you grinned and he looked at you surprised before blushing and looking away. Just as he was about to speak, the cashier asked you for your orders.

When it was time to buy, Yeonjun insisted on paying for your drink and he pulled out his credit card. Just as he was going to pay for both of your drinks you chimed in and said "if you're paying for me I'll pay for you."

The cashier looked confused.

"Too late," Yeonjun said before paying. He thanked the cashier and let you pick a seat. The two of you sat down and started some idle chat before Yeonjun's name was called out. He got up and returned with your drinks. "You know…there is another reason I invited you here," he sighed and looked at the table. You got intrigued and set your drink down, the cup escaping your lips. "I was an asshole to you. You were completely right for dumping me the way you did." He sighed as he remenced the memories of the day you broke up. "Basically I'm really sorry for the way I treated you, but don't take what I'm about to say the wrong way," he looked up at you with sincere eyes. You nodded and let him continue "you've also changed. For the better," he chuckled.

"How so?" You looked confused.

"W-Well usually you'd um," he took a sip of his drink before continuing "You wouldn't offer to pay for my food, like the way you did today. You don't do your nails, or draw or something when we're on call. You know little stuff that means a lot to me," he blushed and took another sip.

"I guess I didn't treat you greatly either…" you said before taking a sip of your acai. "Senior year really wasn't the best time to date…"

"Well we have a new chapter to start," Yeonjun smiled and you found your eyes staring at him. "S-So what have you been doing the past year?" He smiled and leaned forward. You told him a lot about your past year and your future plans which were basically to make money. After a good 20-30 minutes you realized he hadn't said anything about his past year.

"What's been up with you?" You smiled as you bottomed up your acai.

"I started making music," he smiled. "I took some classes and got hired at a studio that my aunt works at. It's a pretty big place," he chuckled as your eyes widened.

"Wow you've been awfully successful!" You smiled brightly.

"I guess so, I haven't been making much," he sighed. "With no singing abilities it's kinda hard. I've only been making ost's for anime or video games," he shrugged and you looked up at him with a little idea sparking in your mind.

"That's understandable, but still! You're doing a lot better than me," you chuckled. "You know I was in choir and had some singing lessons for a few years. Maybe I could help you get a start?"

After about an hour chatting the two of you went to get some breakfast wraps from Tim Hortons and said goodbye. "I'm happy we got things figured out and were able to get back a healthy relationship," he smiled and extended his arms out for a hug. "May I?" He smiled and you hugged him softly. He smelt so good, like Marshmallows. His touch was soft and his hair looked so smooth. You found yourself hugging him for a long time.

"Are you wearing perfume?" You asked.

"A little bit," he blushed and rubbed the back of his neck while looking away. You giggled at his cute reaction.

"That's new," you smiled and he looked at you shocked. Yeonjun stared for a moment before resuming. "We should do this again sometime," you smiled.

"Y-Yeah totally! I had a great time sweet-" he started before looking down slightly shocked. You looked at him confused before sticking back some of his hair behind his ear.

"Then I'll see you soon," you smiled before heading for your car, "honey," you said before hopping in your car. He looked shocked but he had a big smile on his face.

Hey!! It's the byler music fairy!! What are the songs you most associate with byler, Will, and/or Mike, and why??💙💛🎶🎵🧚‍♀️

Oooooh thats a great question that I’m veeery happy to answer to !!! I actually have three playlist on Spotify specifically on this (Byler, Mike and Will)

So bear with me I will try to make it short x’D

Byler

For them the first that come to mind is Heroes by David Bowie no one can convince me that’s it’s not their canon song in the serie, the lyrics are just perfect and I could bet money that they will kiss in season 5 with this music in background “And we kissed as though nothing could fall” it’s just way too perfect. Secondly I associate them a lot with Seven by Taylor Swift, the lyrics are just so perfectly them !! Or even Spark Fly, a lot of Taylor’s song are very byler coded to me- Like I said I have a whole playlist with songs like Daylight by Taylor Swift, Me and Michael by MGMT, The light that never goes out by The Smiths and such, for a long time I could listen to nearly anything and still link it with them x’D

Mike

For him I actually have a few song that I can’t listen to without thinking about him; Tarzan boy by Baltimore and Smalltown Boy by Bronski Beat The first being in the serie and the second on Mike’s official playlist, they’re literally about gay boys trying to live in the 80’s, wishing for liberty and escaping their city to live freely (and find love) These songs are Mike‘s, i do also think about him when listening to songs like Dollhouse by Melanie Martinez, the lyrics really describe the wheeler family, but there’s so much more songs that I can’t add because it would be too much x’D There’s so many song like Michael in the bathroom that I associate with him because if edits

Will

Again for him there’s so many song that I can’t listen to without thinking about him, firstly and obviously Should I stay or should I go by The Clash and Boy’s don’t cry by The cure as the first one is canonically his song and the second very much hinted to be important 👀 so honestly no need to explain those very much except the fact that the lyrics speak by themselves. Secondly I do think A LOT about him listening to nearly every Conan Gray song there’s an invisible link between them I can’t shake off, Heather, Family line, Summer child ??? So Will coded !! And songs like Iris by the goo goo dolls or Elastic heart by Sia ?? ALL TOO WELL BY TS ?! Forever linked to will in my head because if edits and fanfictions 😭

I swear there’s so many songs that remind me of him, of Mike or of both of them I can’t even start to list it, those two gays really rot my brain for so long that every song was a byler song if I tried hard enough (most of the time I didn’t even try I just listened and “oh very ____ coded” and that for monthhhs, now it’s not the same anymore as I have more diverse interest and I think of diverse characters listening to music but I swear there’s so many song that could have been written for them 😭🫶

#anon ask #byler #will byers #mike wheeler #stranger things #miwi #byler tumblr #byler is endgame #⭐️💙

re: songs that make you go \(￣︶￣*\))

It was 2019 and one of the best years of my life. I planned a day of events for our four year wedding anniversary. First, we went sunflower picking, followed by a nice nap after the heat, and dinner at a tapas restaurant. We ordered one of the most expensive things on the menu and ate until we were ready to burst. And then we went to a synthpop concert.

The band we saw was called Iris. A lot of people probably have never heard of this band before. Synthpop doesn't have the footing in the US the way it does in Europe, so Iris played one (1) show in my country that year, right in Philadelphia. They played the entirety of their debut album - the one with the club hit that put them on the map - but they also played a few lesser-known songs, stuff they'd never performed live before, and songs that never made it on a record in the first place. They performed at Underground Arts on the small stage for no more than what I would estimate was 200 people.

The vocalist was nervous, so someone bought him a shot. He stood up there telling us his memories of recording the album they came to play for us. And then he said "I don't know if I still have the voice for this," and began to play a song called Everybody is Life.

I stood there, surrounded by strangers, as they played. It was a quiet song. I closed my eyes and leaned into my husband and just listened. And then came the drop. Not a loud, crazy dubstep thing, not even a drop that made people hype. It was this quiet escalation that made my bones vibrate and yanked every sense to the present moment. I can't describe it. It felt so right to be held by the man I loved while this song played.

I don't know if that song would have hit me the way it did if I had heard it in any other context. Something about the intimacy of such a small crowd, such raw honesty from the vocalist, and the occasion itself just crawled right under my skin and refused to leave. I came to that show excited to hear a few favorite tracks from a band I liked, and I left with a memory that cocooned me in warmth for a solid week. I've been to a lot of incredible concerts, but this one might be my number one for this memory alone.

Anyway, this is a mass effect blog, so you may be asking "what does this have to do with anything?" Honestly, not much, save for the fact that I love to put this song on when I'm writing sappy shrios fics. I'm sitting here on a Sunday morning eating some soup and salad at Panera - I come here to get a little writing done when I can - and I'm thinking about this memory. Tumblr felt like the right place to share it. Hope you're all having a good day c:

Iris - Everybody is Life (Sea of Life Remix)

Near as I can tell, Iris does not have an official youtube channel, and a lot of their discography is not available on Spotify. I can't tell you if the remix is a real thing or who remixed it or anything - all I know is this is what I remember of the song they played at the above mentioned show. The group formed in 1993 and disbanded sometime around 2021. They came to play one show in Philadelphia after many fans from a local club called Nocturne asked nicely to host an anniversary event for their album, Disconnect.

PLAYLISTS:

Little Camper:

Official Little Camper Soundtrack: 🫒

About the playlist: A (mostly) time accurate soundtrack consisting of mostly popular music in the years 1998-2009. Some are from earlier years. The playlist also (mostly) is chronological, so it follows the whole arc of the story. Have fun trying to solve the mysteries within, Athena kids ;)

Could You Be Quiet? I'm Trying To Read: 📖

About the playlist: Sometimes while both reading and writing, I find that listening to music with lyrics is distracting. To combat that, I made a playlist of soundtrack instrumentals. It used to be my writing playlist for Little Camper, so it has all the music that helped inspire the writing on it (all of it that is without lyrics, that is) and is intended to be listened to when you're reading Little Camper but have grown fatigued with the 2000's party bangers.

Mikrí Eliá Character playlist: 🍇

About the playlist: In celebration of Little Camper being out, this playlist asks the question: "What would Stephanie's life sound like, according to Stephanie?" and the answer is: "Vibes, Vibes and nothing but Vibes" (Some of these also contain eastereggs)

Castor and Pollux playlist: ♊️

About the playlist: Nothing but vibes (its what they would’ve wanted)

Mr D playlist: 🍷

About the playlist: Mr D has a lot of time on his hands. Might as well mess around with the age old magick known as “making a mixtape” - expect divorced dad energy and maybe a few easter eggs (bc the gods are like that)

Rhonda’s CD player: 📀

About the playlist: Rhonda’s powerful 90’s teen mom anthems for a woman who got it together*

*She does not have it together

Christmas at Whitland - A Little Camper Christmas Playlist: 🎄

About the playlist: Exactly what it says on the tin. Ever wanted to spend the holidays at North Carolina's biggest, oldest, very fictional Vineyard: Whitland? Well here's your chance to! Sit back, close your eyes and let the nostalgic christmas tunes carry you away to the winery. Smell the mulled wine. Hear the people chatting. Meemaw's made cookies and they're shaped like christmas trees. Come on in and warm up.

Cabin 12's Psychological Warfare Mixtape: 💽

About the playlist: Listen at your own risk. Guaranteed to drive romans (and others) into madness in record time.

The Cabins:

All the playlists were made based on how I think the cabins 'sound' in terms of aesthetic, themes, instrumentation and various lyrics that strike me as particularly 'cabin xyz'

(Hera doesn't get one as they're made to match "A guide to the cabins at Camp Halfblood" – sorry Hera)

"What is Little Camper?"

Little Camper is a Percy Jackson fanfic, spanning the years 2002-2009. It follows Stephanie Olive Overbaum as she navigates life as a young demigod, which turns out to be more difficult than expected, due to the uprising of Kronos and campers turning to his side to fight the gods. It's a coming of age story mainly focused on the themes of Family, Mythology, Friendship and, well, War.

"Will Little Camper be canon compliant?"

Yes! and no!

I am trying to keep it as consistent with canon as possible, however the story includes original characters I made up (because most of the campers we know and love are too young to have been at camp since 2002. Don't worry they begin to trickle in as time goes on) as well as some minor deviations from the plot and slight changes in relationships and ages.

The ages are mostly because Rick never really specified them, so I kind of just tweaked a couple of characters' ages by one or two years, nothing drastic. You probably won't even notice it, because it's not really that important to the plot, in the first place – merely a logistical thing. It is fanfiction, though, so there are bound to be things that will be based on my own headcanons and ideas that popped into my head while reading these amazing books. On that note, I've tried to steer clear of other people's headcanons, just because I don't want to accidentally incorporate someone else's ideas and not be able to give credit bc I've lost track of the original post, so if you've sent me headcanons it's very much appreciated, and I can't wait to read them when I'm done writing (probably years from now, considering the pace I'm going) and if you see something in Little Camper that aligns with someone else's headcanons that is completely unintentional.

"Is it going to be written like the pjo books?"

Kinda? It is written in the third person, so probably closer to HOO than PJO. I don't care for reading first person fanfiction personally (unless it's used for a really good reason), so it'd be pretty odd for me to write it. Also I might as well disclaim that I can never be Rick Riordan lol

Instead I've settled for keeping the general tone and feel of the books in Little Camper. So no (explicit) swearing etc. But hopefully at the very least some of the humor will come through, even if it's with my own twist on it.

"Is Stephanie a self-insert"

No. While I have nothing against self-inserts, Stephanie isn't one. She's intended to be an original character, in the traditional sense that she's original (ie. Not part of canon) but she isn't a stand-in for anyone, except maybe the reader of the story–So that would be you. But not moreso than Percy is meant to be a stand in for the reader through his story. We follow Stephanie and get her perspective on it. She isn't meant to be anyone, other than just Steph.

Whether an author is ever truly separated from a character they make and whether we give them traits from our own lives etc is always a fun debate to have but to clear things up: Yeah I probably *did* give her a couple things here and there that were, more or less, inspired by me–Nothing major, because I'm a big fan of subtetly when constructing characters, I'm pretty sure her preferance for collecting jewelry, despite rarely wearing it, came from me? but we're talking that level of reference.

She did start off as a joke, after all, so she had some pretty "interesting" traits and skills in the early beginnings of Little Camper. For example, there was an early draft of her character sheet that mentioned she plays the drums. Why? Because I've always wanted to play the drums. But that's a thing of the past.

"What do you mean Stephanie started as a joke?"

What an excellent question, totally real person asking all these questions who is not just me, trying to infodump and provide context for the story I'm writing!

You see, Little Camper is a joke. Or it's one of those things that started off as a 'hahah wouldn't it be funny if...' inside jokes between me and my friend, Sofie, who also beta-reads (when she has time), acts as professional 'idea-bounce-backer' and ensures the quality of my work is above 'unreadable'. Basically she got me into pjo and I got sucked in, as I always have been, and decided I'd make a lil guy– a little camper, if you will. And thus Stephanie was born sometime between my first read of book one and three. I'm pretty sure I made her between the first two books but I don't remember exactly. I know it was before book 4, because I proudly showed off her picrew (see below)

and very basic character sheet to Sof with the promise of making Stephanie my first ever oc who wasn't going to be traumatised and have a tragic backstory and all that jazz...

And then I read The Battle Of The Labyrinth and that really derailed everything. Canon event for cabin 12 kids, I'm afraid.

But she really started off as a bit of a joke. I didn't take her very seriously and it definitely showed in her design, her backstory and the silly nick-names I gave her grandparents. If you're curious about this 'early-prototype' Steph I can reveal she had a clowncore phase, was obsessed (with a capital O) with 90's cartoons a la spongebob, played the drums and had zero idea what to do with her life, bouncing from part time jobs like a disney channel character. She worked at zoo's, bookstores, restaurants, schools, icecream shops– anywhere you can imagine a miserable teenager biding their time, Stephanie had worked a month or two before quitting because 'it wasn't the right fit'. Oh and Rhonda was based on ghibli mothers. Still is, deep down, she just got better development.

And no. I didn't intend for it to be named Little Camper, and arguably far too silly name for what it ended up being. Never. Ever. Give your early projects a placeholder name. It sticks.

"What about Stephanie now? What can you tell me--without spoilers-- about her?"

I am working on polishing all my oc's character sheets. I made it as a mini 'demigod files' - yk - age, name, place of birth, favorite song etc and she's featured there. But for the sake of answering the question:

This

Is Stephanie Olive Overbaum. She's about 9/10 years old at the start of Little Camper. By the end of it she's gonna be 17/18.

Fast facts:

From North Carolina, USA. Born to Rhonda Overbaum on July 17th, 1991. Rhonda was 19 and had just started her business as a wedding planner.

Family Meemaw (Debbie) and Peepaw (Christopher sr.) Overbaum own Whitland Vineyards, which is the oldest and largest of it's kind in the state of North Carolina. Possibly the entire south, but that's too long to write on their postcards. Other family includes Jeremy, Rhonda's brother, his wife Jennifer and their two children: Christopher jr (called simply 'Topher' by the family) and Maisie.

Noticeable physical traits: Stephanie has two scars that you might notice. The most prominent is the one on her lips. She got that bc she'd seen a cartoon character picking his teeth with it and decided to try it with a steak knife. Don't do that. It went very wrong. The other one is less noticeable. She got that fighting a monster but I really can't say more (ooh suspense!)

Hobbies include: Drawing (poorly), not dying, eating, watching cartoons, swordfighting, music (listening= well, playing=poorly), theatre (assigned theatre kid by godly parentage), playing pinochle, not dying.

Fav food: Anything and everything italian. Partial to bread in all it's forms, preferably with either just plain or with camp's strawberry jam.

Fav beverage: Coke. Full fat. Not diet.

Powers: [REDACTED]

"How long is Little Camper– And why is it taking so darn long to write it?"

Currently I have a little over 50.000 words written to be edited down, polished and published. That's mostly the first year of Little Camper (the story is parted up into 'years' for an easier overview and each part is a collection of chapters taking place within that year ie. Year one is 2002. The chapters in year one span from June-December. Other years vary the months more). I tried to do the math based on the chapters I have planned (if an average chapter is 4000 words max, and I have x chapters planned), and it came out to be around 260.000 words. And that's simply an estimate. Will it actually be that long? Maybe, maybe not–That really depends on what it gets boiled down to when I edit it. Also some chapters I have planned might not end up being published, if I change my mind about them as I go along. But I have the general story planned from start to finish, and a little extra on the side, so there will be no abandoning the project, even if it takes a while to finish.

Why it takes so long is due to several things. For one, I'm not a fast writer. I never have been and I don't really think I'd like to be one. I like sinking my teeth into a story if it means it gets to be the best it can be. Another reason is that I, like so many other people who felt seen by and related to the Percy Jackson books, have adhd. And until extremely recently, I was undiagnosed, and unmedicated. I'm still figuring out how to work with my adhd rather than work how I used to assume I 'had' to work. Then there's the fact that I don't have all the time in the world to write, even if I'd like it. I work and I have other hobbies I'd like to spend time on, so writing doesn't always come first for me. I'm really sorry if you're getting impatient, It's probably not going to get better, I'm afraid– But once I start updating the fic, you'll get lots of content at a time, which should keep you busy while I work on the next part.

"Yeah okay, but what's it like–actually about?"

If I told you that there wouldn't be much intrigue to it...Put it this way: In one way, its a story about Luke Castellan. In another way it's a story about a father and daughter's strained relationship. In a completely different way it's about gods, and fate. In a simple way, it's a comedy. In a more complicated way it's a tragedy. In a more subtle sense it's a lovestory. Chapter wise it's slice of life. It is many things. You'll just have to read it when it comes out to find out if you like those things.

"I don't like ocs/some other thing you mentioned"

That's fine. You probably should read something else, though. I can't help you there! That's kind of my whole thing.

"Hi. Calling in from the future. I read it and I didn't like it >:("

Sorry to hear that. But I think now is a good time to remind you this is a story that started out as an inside joke between a friend and me. It was never really inteded to have other people read it. I'm glad you gave it a shot, though! That was very nice of you.

And: Please don't tell me if you didn't like it– I really don't want to know, nor do I really care whether you like it or not, as per the last point.

"I have a Percy Jackson oc too! Can I tell you about them/ Can you feature them in Little Camper?"

Sadly I already have far too many demigods to manage (they are very difficult to manage), and so I can't really add more – at least not right now! But I'd love to hear about them, I have no doubt they're great!

"Can I ask for your advice on writing, making ocs, etc etc?"

Sure! My inbox is always open. I can't promise I'll be much help but I'll leave whether I seem worthy of questions be up to you lol

Updates/changes due to happen as I go on :0

Heart of an Artist Resurrection released back in December and since then I've been working on a gigantic set of enemy designs based off of each song on the album, all for my IRIS concept game idea. These are the first five songs turned enemies: S.O.S, Draw The Line, As The Lights Go Out, Kings & Queens and Why Do We Hold I will release the singulars for the next week with more information on them as usual, after these guys will probably come RSM Set 2 as I have no motivation to work on a fifth one to include in the set so yea Enjoy my madness

hi iris have you ever listened to weezers green album? personally, i'm a bigger fan of the white album but (i am asked to leave)

what i have for you is two albums. maggot by dazey and the scouts has a bit of a raunchier riot grrl beat but their songs are really fun and hype (i'm a big fan of maggot and groan). both are floral themed songs but somehow do it completely differently.

the second album is I Need To Start a Garden by haley heynderickx. WHERE DO I BEGIN! my favorite songs are Jo (there has never been a more tender and loving and powerful lament. this is what orpheus sang to let eurydice go. also lesbianisms). The second is Untitled God Song (which has defined a lot of my faith and my grapple w it more specifically). oom sha la la is amazing as well, i think you'll like it for reasons we've talked about in the past.

so i offer these to you with a bit of light metal because i can't help myself. sextape by deftones. here's my propaganda! i hope you enjoy it as much as i enjoyed yours (which was a lot!) we have a venn diagram of music tastes so i hope this falls in the middle.

I listened to the Dazey and the Scouts album while eating a couple of hot dogs and I think that might be the ideal listening experience

a v solid album !! I love how balls-to-the-wall insane they’re willing to go lmao. I usually don’t like Funny Music™ bc the song often just. stops in its tracks to deliver the punchline, and it makes me cringe, wail, etc. but they wove it in really well. good for them. good for them

my only gripe is. the MIXING. the lyrics + vocals are so good but they’re so QUIET compared to the instruments,,, tbh that’s the only tell that this is a debut album. otherwise it’s really competent. I don’t fuck w tiktok or official spotify playlists so I probably wouldn’t have heard of them on my own ty 🙏

I HAVE heard of Haley Heynderickx, but I ignored her exclusively bc of the spelling of her last name. you only get one quirky variation in your last name that’s the rule. you can’t have “eyn” AND “derick” AND “x”, you gotta pick ONE!! it Annoys me. yes I’m extremely petty, yes I should be ashamed. I suppose I shall set aside my unfounded bitchiness for the sake of Friendship

anyway I was kind of guaranteed to like this (indie folk? check. complicated relationship w God/your place in the world? check. using nature as both a home and a metaphor? check. a song longer than 7 min? check) so uhhh thanks for the final push? Untitled God Song IS very relatable, we are spinning in a circle about this

I liked Sextape, but I don’t like nu metal/nu metal-adjacent 90s alt overall, so I probably won’t get into Deftones further 😔 sorry

I have So Many artists in my library that are comparable to Haley Heynderickx and that whole vibe which I think you’d love, but for right now (bc I don’t want to drown you in the Deluge of folk music), my only rec is that you listen to more Lady Lamb if you haven’t already. she’s my favorite artist of all time I have to do this I'm legally obligated. quick rundown of her albums:

Ripely Pine--her debut. v lyrics-heavy folk rock with touches of big band. it’s basically the Ultimate Dyke Drama Album, and yes it’s explicitly about a female love interest. the writing is some of the best I’ve ever heard; it’s v visceral in a rambly, poetic kind of way. lots of stuff about devouring-in-a-homosexual-way here

After--^same type of intense folk rock, but with slightly less of a focus on Dyke Drama and more on traveling, self-discovery, what-the-hell-is-happening-ever, well-at-least-I’m-gay. honestly imagine the themes of I Need to Start a Garden but the music is wayyy higher energy. also there’s a song about oral named Penny Licks which I just think is delightful

Tender Warriors Club--oh hey I got my current blog title from the last track on this! it’s a lot more spare with its instrumentation than her other albums, bc it’s. it’s Tender . and also the writing still SLAPS

Even in the Tremor--the most chill out of all her albums. religion’s always been a motif in her music, but it becomes a major theme here (this has Young Disciple !). I prefer the rougher production of her previous work, but it’s still p solid!

she also has 4 singles out currently that don’t have albums--We’ve Got a Good Thing Going + Arizona back in 2020, and Wolves of our Want + Ivy in the last month (please girl release a new album I will give you my major organs pl--). they are all v good.

picking out songs from her discog to recommend kinda feels like picking favorite children, but I think you specifically would like Aubergine, Crane Your Neck, Milk Duds, and We Are Nobody Else

#music tag #I got recced lady lamb by a wlw on tumblr. now I get to be the wlw on tumblr reccing lady lamb. character development

for Spotify sins!!! 19, 33, 69

nothing is a sin my tastes are IMPECCABLE

19: Threat by Charly Bliss, official Charly Bliss song of throw a living past away. somehow this is the only Charly Bliss song on my top 100??? admittedly i think i did most of my CB listening offline this year.

33: Roses/Lotus/Violet/Iris by Hayley Williams. i LOVE the Hayley Williams album with my whole entire heart and it upsets me that 1) her tour was obviously cancelled 2) so many other great albums also came out this year which therefore distracted me from listening to more Hayley Williams.

69: Heartbeat by Carly Rae Jepsen. appropriately horny!

Hey all, big happy news! I’m going to be part of the writing team for season two of Jessica Best (@idiopathicsmile)’s The Strange Case of Starship Iris!

For those of you who are like ‘um okay what’s a starship iris,’ Starship Iris is a sci-fi podcast full of scrappy found families out to Fight the System, jokes about the gender binary, and saving the day with applied linguistics.

Doesn’t that sound awesome? Spoilers: it is awesome.

Eight of the first season’s ten episodes are up on Spotify, Google Play, iTunes, however you like to listen to things. It’s part of the Procyon Podcast Network (procyonpodcasts.com, @procyon-podcast-network), which is making diverse, eclectic audio drama content for fans, by fans.

If that’s got you excited (I’M EXCITED) and you want to see more Starship Iris content like fan art, behind-the-scenes details, or vignettes about the crew and world, check out @iriscasefiles, the official Starship Iris tumblr, or @thevoicefromthestars, which is run by the fantastic Ishani Kanetkar, who voices the sarcastic and pathos-tastic Arkady Patel.

Jess Best and Starship Iris also have a Patreon (patreon.com/starshipiris), which gives you access to episode scripts annotated by the cast and crew, additional vignettes, and behind-the-scenes podcast episodes. I’ve been a Patreon backer of the show for awhile now, and it’s totally worth it.

Also if they reach (if we reach??) the next stretch goal for Patreon funding, then they (we???) will create three “mini-episodes” in between seasons one and two. I am particularly excited about this possibility because I may have written one of those mini-episodes as part of the application process. I’d love to see it made.

But go listen to the show, folks. It’s free. It’s beautiful. It warms my heart and I bet it’ll warm yours.

See ya for season two ;)

filigods replied to your post

“thank you to the gorgeous @wordssometimesfail for tagging me in a get...”

s o n g r e c s

so THANKS (much belatedly for tolerating my fucking out of control need to word vomit about music at literally all hours of the day and night; forcing others to listen to songs i like is literally one of the few joys that makes life worth living. also, idk if this was intended in a “hey cool, song recs” way or a “hey, yeah, link me those songs” way, but @filigods, BABY YOU’RE GETTIN THOSE LINKS and also more because i am insufferable.

below the cut: links to just Some Music What I Think Is Cool, organized...pretty dubiously, but an attempt will be made. also, now and at all times, anyone who feels so inclined should always link me to music they’re liking right now or that they loved in the past or that they think is just the bee’s knees...anytime. ANYTIME.

okay so the songs i mentioned the other day are all in here, but i wanted to organize it a bit more than just a random grab bag to give you some direction so that you know what you might be into, if you’ve never heard of some of these (my music taste isn’t all that niche but i’ve gone through a lot of phases in my life XD). particular “omg please listen to this before you die” faves will be in italics.

(i saw them live in 2019 and it was the best thing ever!!) and yes lay me down just !!!!!!! so freaking good 🥺🥺🥺 and lorde !!!! she's one of my favorite singers !!!! melodrama is one of my all time favorite albums and supercut one of my all time favorite songs 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 liability just tears me apart and ribs !!!!!! also another song that i love oh so much (also the lourve!!!!!) and yes hozier is an absolute legend, i haven't listened to too many of his songs but i have cherry wine, like real people do and someone new in my liked songs on spotify and i love them!!!! (ok it's official are music tastes are very similar 💓) (and of course walls, harrys albums + nialls albums are everything!!!!!!) (in the future ill tell you some of mine🥰)

so i don't think ive liked any of the anons i've sent you and nope my name does not start with the letters l-r 🤭🤭 and im sorry idk why i feel like if i told you what we've talked about you'd figure it out, maybe not but just in case i won't say but in response to my valentine's message you said you think you might know who i am has it changed? also as a recap: im a mutual, non desi, i haven't liked any of the anon posts and my name does not start with l-r!! that's all i will not say for now.

ok for me an ideal date would be one where we can spend the whole day together: maybe in the morning go out for a quick breakfast then go to a farmer's market and spend a couple hours there and then have a picnic at a park with some of the things we bought from the market and after eating lay in the sun a bit resting, close to each other of course. then when we feel rested we can go for a walk around the park and get some ice-cream (do you like ice cream) from there we can maybe do a but of shopping or even just walk around some shops seeing if we find anything we like and end the day either at a small restaurant at dinner or at one or the others home for a homemade dinner + a movie (depending on our moods) and of course cuddles & handholding a must throughout the day, with kisses of course !!!

what's YOUR ideal date? 🥰🥰

i love you!! i hope you had a very lovely wednesday (that i think maybe by the time you read this you'll be finishing with your wednesday) and remember you are very loved by many people💞💞💞

hi. HI. (you're sorry??! pls i disappeared for like 3 days. i'm so sorry :// uni had been so stressful and just. my executive dysfunction hit so bad this week. but i had a counselling session today so i'm feeling lighter today)

ok you know how this workds. i ranted. whoops?

valentine's ended up being not so good. i got overly emotional about missing my best friend who i don't talk to anymore and sent her a whole essay. only to wake up in the morning and have her reply back. happy valentine's day to you too. so i guess i know where i stand there lmao. but other than that it was just a normal day. i don't really celebrate it i guess. but it was lovely to see everyone and their mutuals sending each other funny cards heheehhe.

ahhh okayy you're working!! glad you're done with uni. i am. DYING. i need this semester to be over now. like NOW. (idk any other football except soccer. what even is american football. there is only ONE type of football. and it's black and white.)

ok i'm gonna get back to our song discussion in a minute. but i'm gonna jump to who i think you are first. okay so. i've thought you as about 5 different mutuals till now. don't even ask. i'm very indecisive. i kept getting confused cause i was trying to connect the prose to a person. and then i got even more confused. and then i thought it might've been some of my desi gc friends. so i needed to make sure they weren't lying ahahaha. and then your first message. i thought it was a completely different person then.

but you know what gave you away sweets? your music taste. i read this like 4 days ago when you sent it. and i instantly had an idea of who you were. there's only one person i know who would go crazy over cam's album the way i did. we've actually once talked about how similar our music tastes were. there was this tag game where we were asked to rec songs from our urls and when you did your rec. i remember commenting and saying that we basically had the same taste cause majority of the songs were in my liked too hehehe.

also your comment about how i post about education should've given me a hint enough. but my brain didn't put it together. oh well. also if i'm still wrong. i will riot. so i think your name starts from the letters a-f. and i think we've talked about education before. and if you're who i think you are. you're in the middle of a move or have moved. i really hope i'm right. or else this is gonna be very very VERY embarrassing.

now moving back to music. omgg yess cam's album that's why i love it. that it's nostalgic but it's filled with hope. omgomg. i was just discussing this with another friend. they were talking about how her album doesn't have that bitterness that longing to go back to what she once had. and i was like EXACTLY. like that's the whole point. because there's thousands of songs and albums filled with that need, with that desperation with that longing. but what's different about hers is the acceptance of it all and the HOPE. yes she thinks about the past. but she also leaves the past exactly where it is. it's essentially a moving on album. it's like a goodbye. where you're not latching onto the past anymore but you're remembering it fondly, sadly but also accepting that it's gone. ughh so good. i still listen to it on repeat some days. but omg i did not know that about mitch helping write on forgetting you. it's so goodd ughhh. AND YES SAME. very big fan of till there's nothing left. makes me feel proper dramatic when i'm lip syncing to it while i study ahahaha.

okay we literally have the same music taste please. ALSO OMG YOU SAW SAM SMITH LIVE?!??!! luckyy youu. i'm still waiting for covid to go away so i can finally go to my first concert ahahaa. it's like i was so so excited to finally be able to save up and be at the age to go by myself and everything just shut down.

ok so. my ideal date. it's very similar to yours and idk what to think about that ahahha. ok so. it would depend on what kind of day i'm having. i tend to have days where i hate the outdoors cause the noises and the people and just everything gives me sensory overload and a massive headache. but if i'm feeling energized and up for it then we have a different story.

so yes i'd prolly go with a picnic too. but it would be like a brunch sort of thing. where we just kinda grab sandwiches and a bunch of other fruits and junk food and pink champagne. i have this thing for pink champagne at picnics haha. it's pretty and yummy :) it's fun cause i get really loud. like even louder than usual. i'm a blast!! (omg this one time. me and my friends were on a picnic and we nearly killed somebody with a champagne cork. like it flew right past their head. it was the funniest thing. also it was our second bottle. and we had WAP playing from a speaker at full volume. lesson of the day. do not day drink on picnic grounds hehehe) and yes laying in the sun please. we'd have music playing because if you go with me. i travel almost everywhere with a bluetooth speaker. so it would be a mini-party. trust me. and just for the fun of it. i'd bring along some card games. prolly UNO. and yes we can get ice cream. am i basic if i say my favorite is plain chocolate. (i'm not very adventurous with flavours of things i enjoy lmao) ALSO YES COOKING TOGETHER would be my indoors plan!! ohmygod. we'd have such a blast. music playing. BAKING!!! we have to bake. cookies. prolly a small cake. prolly have something light for lunch. and do a nice full meal for dinner. i do enjoy cooking. it can be very cathartic.

so i feel like i was all over the place explaining that. but i think my ideal date would be spending time together while music plays in the background. i like doing things. i love talking. museum dates would be fun too. and ideal date would just be coming back home and falling into bed and getting that tired feeling but also still being so so awake. because you don't wanna close your eyes but also you're tired cause you had such a blast. and ideal date would be feeling THAT at the end of the day regardless of what we did.

i hope you've had a lovely few days yourself my love <33 i apologize for making you wait. and i hope you wake up and have a wonderful day tmr! mwa mwa i love youuu <3333

#finally got to answering thisss #ok now imma go work on my presentation slides ahahah #i hope i wasn't too all over the place #ty for thiss tho #ily <33
