Say It, Loser: A Griddlehark Playlist That Goes a Little Hard
Hello I am sharing this little beast that’s been rattling around my head for a while!! I listen to metal and punk rock almost exclusively and am also a gay nerd so I kept stumbling across stuff that follows their dynamic chronologically through the first two books (and then there’s a “bonus” at the end). Gorgeous cover art by @softbrambles used with permission.
Tracklist and favourite lyrics below!
1. Death To All But Us! | Blood Command
Now we have to do what I say
Go where I may or be gone
2. Big Shot | IRONTOM
I want your fingerprints all over me
Cause if they find me dead they should know who it be
3. Do What You Want | Electric Enemy
Galvanisе every part of me whеnever you want
You're going to do what you want
4. Wake the Dead | Fit For Rivals
Wake the dead, it's time to break down
Follow me until, until we waste away
5. Stunner | World War Me (this is my peak griddlehark song, i could put literally every line here)
Yeah, I'm a bit of a psycho baby I'm my own worst enemy
You keep me lit like a lightbulb feeding off the pain and misery
Cause' you were a bad bitch I was a savage
Livin' off our own extremities
So wе tick like a time bomb set to dеtonate eventually
Little did I know you were gonna get the best of me
Goddamn!
6. Unspun | Jackie
It might be suicide
To mix your blood and mine
But call me crazy
I feel it lately
You’re my new favourite thing
7. Misery | Dope, Drama Club
I'd kill myself or anyone else for you
8. Blind and Frozen | Beast in Black
God, I miss you like hell
I was wrong, I can tell
For the heart can be blind and frozen
9. Trust Fall | Pinkshift
I dug a deep hole to bury you, oh
10. Liar | Papa Roach
Take my secrets down to the water
'Cause I can't keep them down any longer
I swear to God but he knows that I'm lying
Liar, liar your world's on fire
11. Talk to Me | Scarlett O’Hara
Are you still around?
I can feel the air getting heavy
I’ll sit on the ground
Beside your hollow soul
Sharing your world but
I get the feeling that you got nowhere to go
Losing the fight inside, locked inside your mind
12. Cynosure | In Flames
Who’s at the wheel?
Say a word, say anything, I will be healed
Who’s at the wheel?
Say a word, say something that will make it real
13. Back From the Dead | Royal Republic
You, you can bring me back from the dead
You just gotta use your pretty head
*BONUS Kiriona song because NtN brought the pain:
14. Exit Wound | Otherwise
I'm not thinking this through
Living my life like an exit wound
Blow back, blown out
Throwback, thrown out
No more scars left to hide
Thrill is gone, still in the firefight

Calling Fic Writers! Story Idea? -Angst-
If this is already something someone has made, ya'll need to link me ASAP cause its been rotting in my brain all week (if not longer) and I very highly doubt I'd ever be able to write it properly LOL. Art? Maybe...
Please excuse my scatterbrained explanation. I'll probably be adding to this as my little angst-loving brain thinks of more details.
-----
So, after x amount of time, Aziraphale returns/escapes to the bookshop from Heaven and being Supreme Archangel....just completely defeated, dazed, exhausted and just about broken/verge of breakdown. I've pictured the scene with or without his wings. Crowley and Muriel are there (or at least Crowley) and are understandably surprised/confused.
He just collapses in a sobbing heap muttering and crying "I'm sorry" "Please" "You/we can't do this" "Why" "I don't want to fall" among other unintelligible words, but doesn't seem to quite be with it enough to attempt to explain whats going on. Maybe he'd gain very slight, brief clarity upon seeing Crowley (who has also been a mess), keeps apologizing, begging for forgiveness (from him? Her? Both? Maybe) until finally passing out.
Of course Crowley steps up and tries to take care of him, and figure out whats going on. Because no matter how mad he might get at Aziraphale, how hurt he was by the end of S2, he'll always return and help his angel, because he loves him. Also I'm positive Crowley already knows Aziraphale didn't make that choice easily, that he hurt the angel as well. Bountiful soft, care-taking Crowley here because I live for it.
Eventually when Azi is a bit more stable, (as he would often rotate between quiet desolate/defeated shell shock, and near hysterical crying in fear and grief) Crowley gets bits and pieces of what happened out of him.
The "Supreme Archangel" position was merely a sort of placeholder/fake title, not an actual promotion. Because why would they want to actually give Aziraphale that kind of power to potentially use against them and their plans? He was dangerous enough
The Metatron (and other angels) lied/manipulated Aziraphale the whole time to get him to do what he/heaven wanted. And to of course separate him and Crowley. Possible eventual threats towards Crowley and others to keep Azi "in line". Book of life?
Plans of course include the second coming as it was mentioned, but I'm sure there are others mixed in. More apocalypse starting schemes etc. Never really give the full details and kept the real plans secret. Jesus only mentioned, never seen (very suspicious). Azi tries to investigate but keeps getting interrupted or thwarted. Kept a very close eye on.
Much gaslighting/mental and emotional abuse and manipulation, slowly wearing Aziraphale down in order to break and better control him. No erasing/changing of memories cause its over done to me.
God is still MIA and no one knows whats going on with Her. The Metatron says he speaks with Her, but lets face it he can't be trusted. Definitely scheming on his own with others, maybe Hell as well?
Aziraphale never falls of course, I couldn't do that to our precious angel. He'd be traumatized enough anyway.
Aziraphale tries to be a good angel so bad it hurts, wants to believe in Heaven and "The Great Plan" but is only ever hurt and betrayed for all his efforts up there.
I WILL MAKE THESE TWO WILL HAVE A PROPER TALK I SWEAR
--------
I just really love hurt/comfort, angst and them taking loving tender care of each other. They would have a happy ending of course. This is how I cope until season 3, don't judge me xD
Also, what I was listening to during this ramble:

Wouldn't it be so much easier if Jiang Cheng were just... two separate characters?
The one who begged for Madam Yu not to hurt Wei Wuxian in a way that would have definitely lost face for the sect and the one who whipped him himself?
The one who was offended that Wei Wuxian would consider marrying a servant (solidifying his classism as well as recognizing that he classified Wei Wuxian, at the very least, as 'not servant') and the one who sneered down Wei Wuxian's connection with Lan Wangji?
The one who told his sister that Wei Wuxian should be the one to give Jin Ling his courtesy name and the one who told Jin Ling consistently that Wei Wuxian was the reason both of his parents were gone?
The one who held onto Chenqing for so long and kept it in good condition (as per Wei Wuxian's own observations) and the one who helped lead the siege on the Burial Mounds?
The one who gave up his life and core for Wei Wuxian and the one who had an entire breakdown over Wei Wuxian's core reveal (including the gist of "why do you have to keep one upping me?")?
The one who keeps his silence at the end of the novel and lets Wei Wuxian go and the one who says "after all my family's done for you?!"
Wouldn't it be nice and easy if they were two different characters? A "Good Jiang Cheng" and a "Bad Jiang Cheng"?
But, you know... that would ruin both, I think. I am, in fact, someone who loves this character, but I don't think I can if it were just the good bits. The bad bits make him so deliciously tragic.
it would be easy if they were two different characters, but I personally don't think it'd be nice. I like my sour grape just as he is.

Slayers x GN!Reader
Note: I'm dabbling in the DI2 x reader stuff now because I'm going insane with the lack of fics.
Also this is angst and extremely short.
_________________________________________
You were bitten. The amount of curse words that went through the Slayers head (and mouth) wouldn't amount to the feeling of dred that went through them.
Maybe you were immune like them! They hoped until that little grain of hope died as a couple of days passed and you were looking sicker and sicker. Your skin was paler and your energy was depleting, it was obvious by now, so you decided to leave the Emma Jaunt house and into an abandoned apartment-with the Slayer following you as to not cause panic to the other survivors.
It broke them to see you like this, you were meant to be a badass sidekick with them and get out of LA but no...you were dying.
You were sitting on the bed in the room, you gazed up at them and smiled softly. You could see they were trying to keep it together but you could tell....you could tell they wanted to cry.
They sat next to you and before you could say anything you were pulled into their chest, you could here soft sobs and frowned as you wrapped your arms around them. It'll be soon that you will have to make a decision...whether you pull the trigger or they do in ending you life.
