Eurovision 2022: 40 songs, first impressions

 Wake up, bitches, it’s Eurovision time.

Next week Europeans will take over this website with shitposts, photos and memes. And so, as European and Italian, I decided to give my contribution to this noble cause by giving you all my unrequested opinion about all the 40 songs I just listened to.

Of course these are all first impressions, because I listened to these songs this same morning, so maybe I will change my mind about some of them.

In general, I don’t think we have the same quality as last year. We have some good songs, but we also have a lot of booooring ballads. Ah, great old Eurovision, bringing the best and the worst at the same time.

If you are easily offended by the opinions of a random person on the Internet, please take a chill pill. If you’re not easily offended by some friendly banters, please keep reading.

__________

UKRAINE

In a perfect world, this song would not go to the final, but we all know this is going to win, because of the current situation in Ukraine.

And it’s not fair, because this song doesn’t deserve to win. Go_A deserved to win, this one isn’t even worthy of the top 10.

Ukraine got the memo “Sing In your language” and this is good. They also brought some good ukrainian rhythm and that’s good too.

But then, they added some rap. Why? Why rap? Why? It destroys the whole song. It’s awful. And I hate it even more, because the message is nice, the song is good, but that fucking rap kills everything.

Vote: I know this is going to win and I hate that

__________

AUSTRIA

I like this rhythm and I would gladly listen to it more than twice.

At the same time, I perfectly know this is something that comes straight from 1998 or similar and this is why it sounds familiar and I like it on a deep level. It speaks to my childhood/early adolescence rather than to my adult self.

Vote: guilty pleasure, probably not worthy of the final

__________

THE NETHERLANDS

Most of the time, the Netherlands brings the same sad, boring, ballad you will forget two minutes after the song ended. But once in a while, something happens and they send a beautiful ballad.

It happened with Arcane, it’s happening again with this one.

I love this song. It’s a sad ballad, but a wonderful sad ballad. Not only is it in Dutch, so it automatically gets 10 points, but it has such a longing, melancholic vibe I can’t help but feel it. Dutch is wonderful, please use it again.

Vote: it deserves the top 10, because it’s amazing

__________

ALBANIA

Albania delivered. And they did it well.

I’m a slut for the balkan rhythm, so that one got me already. In addition to that, the song is in albanian and that means 10 more points. Sure, there are some tiny English parts, but it is a fair compromise.

Vote: good job as always

__________

UNITED KINGDOM

The song is... nice. And the singer is good too, so, well, maybe this year the Europeans will treat the UK a little bit better.

I mean, at least they tried to send a song that doesn’t make you want to jump off a cliff as soon as you hear it. Or something so boring to make you sleepy. That’s progress.

Vote: maybe you won’t get zero points this year

__________

SWEDEN

Please, Europe, let’s all teach Sweden a lesson: you’re not allowed to send mediocre stuff, just because you’re Sweden, so you will automatically get the top five.

This song is mediocre, everything is mediocre. I couldn’t bear to listen to it twice. Next!

Vote: being Sweden can’t always open all doors

__________

FRANCE

This song DESERVES the top three.

Surprisingly, it’s not in French, but it’s in Breton. Yet, it sounds so French and so not-French at the same time, I fell for it instantly. France managed to send something purely french, without the frenchness of, idk, singing a love song with the Tour Eiffel? (They did it)

Also, they got the memo from Ukraine last year, so they delivered a rave too, but a celtic one. And it’s SO GOOD! I can’t wait to see them on stage and to vibe to this amazing rhythm.

Vote: a worthy winner

__________

SERBIA

I can almost hear the singer thinking “okay, this year we’re going to Italy. Italy... Italy... mmmh, right, okay, let’s use a Latin expression, got it.”

Jokes aside, this song is incredibly interesting. I don’t always check the translation of the lyrics (especially when I do my first listening), but this time I did.

The first half of this song has a very weird lyric, so weird it looked more like a meme song rather than a serious one. I was enjoying the delightful confusion of jumping from Megan Markle’s hair, to the importance of hydration, to how to recognize if your liver is good, to the singer walking with her dog.

And then, among all this apparent nonsense, sentences appeared, sentences that hinted at a deeper message. And what started as a stupidly funny song becomes much more omnious.

Needless to say, this made me love it even more.

Vote: if this will not be qualified for the final, I will riot

__________

ARMENIA

This song was so boring and generic, I thought it was from a northern country. Instead, it was from Armenia.

I am very very sad.

Vote: Next

__________

SPAIN

Generic dance song with a sexy girl singing about how sexy she is.

At least it’s in Spanish and, honestly, I would gladly listen to it more than once. It’s nice and it makes me want to dance, rather than sleep.

Vote: Spain could do a lot better than this

__________

ROMANIA

I suppose the Romanian vampires were all busy, considering they sent Discount George Michael this year. Nice try, but please tell him he’s singing for Romania and that Romania’s language isn’t English, nor Spanish.

Or maybe he thought “Italians understand Spanish, right? Let’s use Spanish for our entry!”

The worst thing is that the chorus is catchy.

Vote: we need a romanian vampire, not this wannabe spanish dude

__________

ITALY

It’s been a couple years we are on a good quality spree and this year we delivered again some great quality.

The first time I heard this song, I didn’t like it. But I wanted to listen to it again and, when I did, I liked it. Maybe it’s because Mahmood is a great singer, maybe it’s because he and Blanco have some great voices, maybe it’s the way they hit such high notes in the chorus, maybe it’s the lyrics. But it’s good and I truly like it.

In a perfect world and if we didn’t have the Ukrainian conflict, maybe we would’ve won twice in a row. Who knows. I know that this is good and I am proud that we are still presenting good songs.

Vote: call me biased as much as you want, but this deserves the top three and you know it

__________

CYPRUS

I don’t know what kind of sorcery Cyprus uses, but they deliver good stuff every darn year. I think they sent something bad only once or twice: all other times, their songs were great.

I know this song is mostly in English, but the chorus is in Greek, there is the amazing balkan rhythm and the singer has a wonderful voice. So I am more than happy and satisfied. Thank you, Cyprus.

Vote: it deserves all of the love

__________

GREECE

Okay, can we please all make a new rule for Eurovision? If you are from a mediterranean country, you are not allowed to sing a full English song.

Last year, Greece sent a little girl with an English song. This year the girl seems older, but this song is the least Greek song I’ve ever heard. No balkan rhythm, no melodious Greek language. I could expect this from another country, but not from Greece.

Vote: extremely disappointed

__________

BELGIUM

The most surprising thing about this song is that my father glanced at the guy once without even listening to the song and said “Hey, is he Belgium’s entry?”.

The song is meh, as every Belgium song. It’s forgettable, but at least it’s decent and doesn’t make me want to sleep.

Vote: not worthy a third listening

__________

AZERBAIJAN

I don’t know what kind of problems Azerbaijan has, because I remember they used to deliver good stuff. And this one is just meh. Maybe they need some time to rest?

Vote: take it easy, Azerbaijan, and come back when you have something better

__________

LITHUANIA

Lithuania is the opposite of Cyprus: if Cyprus rarely fails, Lithuania rarely succeeds.

But this year I am even more sad for this failure, because the song is in Lithuanian! They finally presented something in their own language and it’s so fucking boring.

Vote: try again with something better. But bring Lithuanian again

__________

PORTUGAL

I learned to never expect something good from Portugal and this year I wasn’t disappointed.

Boring song, boring rhythm, boring everything.

Vote: I want to sleep

__________

ISRAEL

*squints harder*

Is this guy the brother of the Romanian guy?

Vote: there’s a thin line between an enjoyable dance song and a boring one. Guess where this song falls

__________

AUSTRALIA

Okay, Australia got the memo “Eurovision is weird, so bring the weirdest stuff you can”. First they sent us Glinda from the land of Oz, along with two Dementors straight from Harry Potter. Then they sent us a literal clown. Now they’re sending us Man-Curtain. Good job.

Also, Man-Curtain is a good singer, so hats off to him. Still, I find it acceptable, but not something I would listen more than twice.

Vote: Australia is slowly learning, let’s give them some time

__________

MONTENEGRO

If you remember this song, you’re lucky. I listened to it three times, I still keep forgetting it.

Vote: Not worthy of the final

__________

SAN MARINO

It looks like San Marino doesn’t have any more singers so, after Flo Rida, they decided to call someone closer and took Achille Lauro from Italy.

Achille Lauro is an interesting artist. He has a way with words, he’s eccentric and his messages are interesting. He’s also considered controversial because of his extra performances, like kissing his guitarist on stage or performing a fake baptism - which led to some bishops protesting because he was offensive yadda yadda. Maybe they forgot that “transgression” exists and artists are often transgressive.

Still, despite him being an interesting artist, I can’t stand his songs. I really want to like them, but I don’t. They bore me. But a lot of Italians like him, so he will probably give San Marino a good position.

Vote: nice try, still a no from me

__________

BULGARIA

I don’t know what happened in Bulgaria, because they used to deliver the best Eurovision songs. Suddenly they stopped and now they’re sending this stuff. Boring, forgettable, next.

Vote: so, so disappointing

__________

POLAND

Oh wow, a sad ballad. We really needed one.

But this one is kinda acceptable, so I will let it pass. Nothing too special, but at least it is less boring than a lot of others.

Vote: okay-ish

__________

MOLDOVA

As every year, Moldova is an absolute KING and delivers us a song that is a huge meme.

You can’t listen to this song and not smile/dance. The song is in Moldovan (+10 points), it has a great balkan rhythm (+10 points), it’s lighthearted, it’s funny and it makes you want to jump up and dance (+100 points).

This song will not win Eurovision, but it will win our hearts.

Vote: I want to take a train Chisinau-Bucharest

__________

NORWAY

Every year, one blessed country gets the memo “Keep Eurovision Weird” and puts everything in, by delivering a perfect mix of weirdness and good stuff.

This year, the blessed country is Norway. And they delivered us the most wonderful, perfect Eurovision song: great rhythm, funny lyrics, adorable weirdos on stage and an even weirder performance.

I am in love.

Vote: Top three, now. And a banana

__________

NORTH MACEDONIA

I love and hate this constant rollercoaster that is Eurovision: the moment before, you have a banana to give to a wolf, one moment later, you are entering the snooze festival.

Vote: not even worthy of attention. Especially after Norway

__________

SWITZERLAND

This song was so devastatingly boring, I couldn’t even finish listening to it once.

Vote: please, PLEASE, bring back the dance songs

__________

MALTA

You are allowed to make fun of me for my musical tastes, because I like this song. I don’t know what makes me like it, but it always happens with Malta. They could send the most generic pop song and I would love it.

I don’t know what’s wrong with me or if it’s some kind of Maltese sorcery, but I want this in the final.

Vote: mock me all you want, I still like this song

__________

IRELAND

It’s very rare I like something from Ireland, but this year’s entry? I like it. A LOT. Great rhythm, catchy song, will listen to it 200 times. Good job, Ireland, I am very happy for this!

Vote: such a good surprise

__________

FINLAND

Ah yes, I can almost hear the Finnish band: "So, we’re going to Italy. Mmmh, Italy, Italy... got it, religious references.”

Jokes aside, this song is acceptable. Nothing too special. And definitely not as strong and interesting as last year’s entry.

Vote: will probably go to the final - unless some fucking bishop has something stupid to say

__________

CZECH REPUBLIC

This song is okay. I may sound repetitive, but there’s nothing too much in this song, aside from its “being okay-ish”.

Vote: where are you now?

__________

ICELAND

Iceland learned to bring songs in their own language, which is a very good thing. However, they didn’t get the memo that the song has to be good too.

Vote: the western-ish rhythm is nice, but that’s not enough

__________

ESTONIA

Estonia has been a wonderful surprise.

The western rhythm is the last thing I would’ve expected from them, but my gosh, it’s so good. The singer is good, the rhythm is good, the lyrics are good. I love this song.

Again, mock me as much as you want: I think this song is great and deserves the final. I listened to it three times and will probably listen to it another 20 times.

Vote: even the least expected country could deliver the best surprise

__________

GERMANY

So Germany is going for the last places of the final chart once again. That’s very nice of them.

Vote: someone has to get those places, after all

__________

DENMARK

Is it just me or the rhythm of this song sounds suspiciously similar to Norways’ entry from 2014, Storm? Because I keep hearing it and I still prefer Storm much more.

Vote: bring back the Danish language

__________

LATVIA

Latvia got two memos this year: “Make Eurovision fun” and “Don’t take yourself too seriously” and they did a good job.

The song is fun with a nice message, delivered in a very lighthearted way. The rhythm is nice and makes you want to dance. Approved!

Vote: maybe not the best, but one of the happiest

__________

GEORGIA

My theory is: there was a circus in Georgia and someone decided to send them directly to Italy, where all the clowns are.

Vote: now what, this will become the next Eurovision’s must? Bring a clown to the show?

__________

SLOVENIA

Such a shame this interesting language has been used for such a forgettable song.

Vote: you will forget about this song, while listening to it

__________

CROATIA

“Would you run away?” Yes, please, run away and do not come back for the finals.

Vote: I want the double singer they sent in 2017

#beauty talks about stuff #eurovision #eurovision 2022 #this is going to be interesting #even if we already know who the winner will be #at least we can find all the other good songs #I am lowkey scared of how long the shows will be #Italy is not famous for keeping things short #who knows #I hope we will make sone funny evenings #can't wait for them!

[amratsu]

after reading @ryo-maybe 's recs, compiling my own rider recommendations/breakdowns, in chronological order of release, with the general approach of 'here's what you may enjoy' and 'here's what people love/remember it for'. den-o onwards to zi-o cause I need to rewatch the older ones tbh. I've watched all of these myself once, and (barring ghost) with @stuffman-main and @icedfairy so you can poke them for opinions too probably.

>den-o the first 'comedy' rider that really leaned into its mascots, so much so that said mascots are kind of still around to this day like 15 years later. this tends to give the wrong impression though, because den-o still takes a surprisingly deep and melancholic look at its themes of existential dread and being remembered. it's a generally fun time that'll also pull at your heartstrings at surprising times, and takeru satoh (of current ruroken live action fame) really does portray the growth of the protagonist from a complete non-person into a still-nervous-but-will-throw-down hero nicely.

>kiva oh I absolutely agree with the general consensus of crazy aesthetic (fucking STAINED GLASS VAMPIRES?) but whack-ass writing, but as my first rider I have a big soft spot for it. it was also the first rider I watched together with stuffman-main and iced-fairy as an introduction to deeper weeb enjoyment. make no mistake, kiva is deep in the late 2000s sauce of plot via lack of communication, but at the same time it's still kind of charming how earnest it is about it? it's just 100% vampire melodrama inside a kamen rider. and also the time period gimmick is, in retrospect, one of the weirdest and most ambitious plot threads toei's ever tried. I can't even straight say I recommend kiva, but if you can stick around after they only really get better. (fun fact with kiva: the default suit was so fucking heavy BECAUSE IT HAD ACTUAL METAL CAUSE THEY WANTED NATURAL CHAIN JINGLING that they had to introduce the super mode like a dozen episodes early or else the suit actor was literally going to be crushed)

>decade anniversary series. meme origin point.

>w I think if any series really leans into its subgenre the most, it's a toss-up between W and Exaid, but W is way more universally loved. it's a tight noir experience, the duos done so well that it'd fuck with rider writing for multiple series to come (for better or worse). the way it plays with its supporting cast really makes the city feel alive in a way that makes it as easy to love Fuuto as much as shotaro does. the rider tropes themselves are also handled very well, with little arbitrary power ups or alt forms, and an absolutely unheard of total of two riders, period, until you go into side materials. and the writing very much benefits from its ability to focus on them to the exclusion of anyone else. extremely easy recommendation, and its 2 episode format also makes it very easy to watch in short sessions.

>ooo where W lives and dies by its two-episoders, OOOs uses it to support the developing relationship between protag and 'mascot' while also pursuing a much more ambitious overarching metaplot. the nonlinear nature of the belt/suit 'upgrades' leads to an pretty exciting shuffle of transformation trinkets between the protagonist and villains; you never quite know who has what, and in that sense it's almost closer to a rider royale with how the characters jockey for the macguffins. eiji's also a generally very refreshing protagonist who will still do Dumb things, but not Stupid things, and that's a fine line to walk/write I appreciate a lot.

>fourze anything I could say ryo(?)'s already said. it's just fun. it's very different from a lot of other riders though in that you won't see the same emotional ups and downs in the plot you would elsewhere. gentaro's just immune to that shit.

>wizard oof. I'm going to be bold here and say I find haruto, the protag, fine. lots of people say he's boring and one note, which I disagree with; he shows a fair amount of subtle growth as a person over the course of the series. nito, the side rider, is also great. aesthetics are also great fun. but wizard is absolutely STRANGLED by its one note supporting cast, a peanut gallery full of drag-you-to-the-lake-bed cement that's just impossible to care about. if you can deal with the generic kid's show level of eyeroll carry-on cast, you'll probably have an okay time here.

>gaim gaim gaim gaim. oh gaim. I love you so much. and this is contingent on spoilers, but, I think urobuchi plots honestly fine if there's a happy ending. and there is, because SPOILERS that facilitate post-series xovers. like of all the ways we've seen urobuchi wank about the cruelty of the system, the futility of struggling against it, and the tragedy of life, gaim's protagonists arguably end up doing a lot more to win despite it. and also I find the thought of urobuchi simmering in his dark little corner because toei forced him to write a happy ending really, REALLY funny. can't recommend unless you're in the mood for urobuchi though.

>drive honestly? drive is one of the most inoffensive riders. nothing really wrong about it. it leans into its subgenre a lot in the vein of W, so if you're in the mood for a cop show with androids and robots it'll do you good. the protag is also a tall drink of water. definitely a fine starting point.

>ghost oh god. no. by this point in the time line, the 'cool rider=sucky show' meme is really in full force. there's really not a lot I can write on ghost that hasn't been said by other people, but in short it's just very one note with very shallow characters, and a lot of shoehorned merchandising that messes with what little coherence there is (the super form is a seperate belt all on its own, never used by anything else. why???).

>exaid again, ryo(?) has me covered here. worth pointing out though, ex-aid is a perfect otome game cast: clumsy good boy with some spice to him, tragic serious elite genius, jokey lovable trickster, abrasive jerk with heart of gold. so that's fun.

>build build's AMBITIOUS. the conspiracy/amnesia plot goes deep, and it almost forsakes a monster of the week and all the tropes attached to that entirely. whether it lands the plot is up to debate but at the very least the characters are all very well realized and live. they all struggle with 'who am I' in their personal ways, and the way they clash up against each other (ESPECIALLY the villains) is exciting.

>zi-o another anniversary series.

#kamen rider

[ignify-caligo]

its me againnnn do u have any drunk or embarassing hcs abt eldain or ciaran??

To be honest, your being one of the sole ones who keep sending me asks, which I’m extremely grateful for! Especially when it comes to the character choice, it’s just *chef kiss* noice ~ Also, I don’t believe I have to say who I’m gonna pick between option a and b (spoiler: it’s option c – both of them :3) So, without dragging this further, let me share a little on these elfy men!

🍺: A drunk headcanon

💩: An embarrassing headcanon

🍺: A drunk headcanon

Eldain

Eldain’s a wild card without adding alcohol into the mix, so you can surely imagine what reaction comes with blending these two together. Generally, he’s a fifty/fifty on how his personality changes after drinking, either it’s staring into the void with a melancholic gaze or ‘don’t even breath in my presence or you're dead.’ That’s the basic switch in his behavior, sometimes miraculously, he ends up being a goofy laughing mess, filling the conversations with dirty jokes or funny stories he normally wouldn’t share. It’s usually connected to the reasons ‘why’ his reaching for the bottle. When it’s the ghosts of the past or regrets, he ends up with an even more depressing attitude, while if he’s been pissed off numerous times, he’s gonna be a ticking bomb – more deadly than he’s sober. Condolences to the people who have pissed him during the drinking/celebrations, because he’s known for having the best memory, even when he is unable to stand up from the bed cause of the hangover. Luckily for him, there is someone special who takes care of his sorry ass during recovery.

Ciaran

This man has the biggest personality switch when you compare him being sober and not. From being a quiet and reserved second in command, he turns into a touchy-feely fellow with his heart upon the sleeve. Many also count him into the ‘reckless drunk’ category, but he needs to be incredibly stoned to cross the line. Under that kind of alcohol influence, he’s prone to quite interesting stunts. He really needs to be in an incredible nasty mood for him to not fall into those ‘categories.’ When he simply broods in his lonesome, his nose never living the inside of his glass/cup. Try to mention anything of personal value to him (like his crushes, embarrassing moments, etc.) and he will snap at you like an upset chihuahua. Compared to Eldain’s “drunk anger”, Ciaran’s more of the ‘bark a lot, isn’t really going to bite’ type. Though everyone has their limit at some point then he’s going to just slam his cup down and go out. Ironically, Ciaran’s going to be mad over the thing that angered him until the alcohol wears off and the hangover kicks in banging. He’s being thought of as, the one with the shittiest memory capacity. After sleeping out the alcohol in his bunk bed, he doesn’t remember any coherent situations just snippets without any real context. It has become a thing for someone to let him in on everything that has happened during their drinking parties.

💩: An embarrassing headcanon

Eldain

This is a story from before the pogrom that has been the reason for him to join the Scoia’tael. He doesn’t remember who was responsible for his insecurity at that time, but he was trying to ‘step on the breaks’ when it came to his consumption of sweets. He was quite the sweet tooth at the time and the fact that his sibling, Caron, was into baking/making any kind of desserts wasn’t helpful at all. They tried to reason with him that the person’s comment wasn’t such a big deal and that he should enjoy himself, instead of keeping himself in a dictatorship-like control. Even that didn’t help ease Eldain’s insecurities, and he pushed on banning himself from eating any sweets. He was surprisingly making some progress, that is until Caron hasn’t decided to bake a carrot cake of course. In the middle of the night, Caron woke up to the sounds of rustling in the kitchen. Lighting up a candle, they slowly crept into the area, with a small carving knife, just in case. You wouldn’t believe them if they told you what they have witnessed. The now-famous Eldain, commander of Aedirn’s Scoia’tael group, was climbing up the cupboards like those typical cats in “midnight snack” memes. The candle's light illuminated his eyes, making them reflect the light the same way cat eyes do. He was trying to be sneaky about it, gods damn it! But that didn’t work at all, and if anyone were aware of this, he would die of embarrassment. He has a reputation to uphold!

Ciaran

This story is one of many that have been dubbed “drunk adventures of Ciaran.” He isn’t quite sure how the story truly goes (terrible memory after drinking) but according to Iorveth and other squirrels, it started out during a night out drinking. In one moment, when they were already deep into the drinking, someone dared him to sneak into Flotsam and bring something back to the camp. And of course, him being as reckless after drinking, accepted without beating an eye. So, he stumbled into the town, somehow ended in Cedric’s home unseen. Instead of taking some inanimate objects from Cedric, he decided to up the game even more. He ended up dognapping Cedric’s companion, Ronan, who according to Drunk Ciaran has become ‘he’s newest best friend and apprentice!’ The both of them managed to leave the town, walk through the forest at night and enter the Scoia’taels camp safely. You have to imagine the shocked face, when Ciaran woke to someone crushing his ribs into the bed and that someone being a gigantic dog almost the same size as him. The absolute disbelieve on everyone’s faces when Cedric came barging in, demanding the release of his lost companion was beyond words. Since then, Ciaran’s been a 'regular as can be' visitor in Cedric’s home, you can’t honestly blame him for getting attached to Ronan so quickly. Even after quite some time, Ciaran’s unable to hide his slightly tinted cheeks whenever someone mentions the ‘dognapping.’

🧡 - Our muses are alone and watching the sun set somewhere high up. The atmosphere can be either cheerful or melancholic.

Drabble meme. Under a read more because it’s long :)

The thing with being a good neighbour, a quiet neighbour, a polite and helpful neighbour was that it earned you a few privileges. Free cookies and casseroles as birthday and holiday gifts. Premium gossip, delivered straight from the mouth and into the ear. Cute drawings on her fridge and home-made cards on her coffee table. And, obviously, if she asked to get the rooftop area for a Friday night less than a month in advance, because "her long-time friend came back in town for a while"... Ariadne did get it. Without any complaints. And so here they were, her "long-time friend" and her, enjoying the view as the sun set onto the city. A beautiful view, really, to exchange news and gossip and adventures, while drinking cocktails - non-alcoholized for Ariadne - and munching on a few snacks. They could decide on a proper meal later. A superb view to recall memories and how the city had changed since they first moved in, each at different times. How the buildings got taller. How the blocks changed, from chic hotels to slums, from slums to hip joints. And then the cycle started over under their very eyes. They settled on lebanese mezze as a delivery - still so many things to talk about, like the old friends they were, while the sunset morphed into the night and painted the city in a new set of shades. Not as beautiful as the night sky back in the Adirondacks - or whenever they decided to hike, away from civilization - but still damn interesting. The way the LEDs, mixed with old-school neons and streetlights, added a new layer to the busy night life - a bit of a melancholic tone, if you asked Ari. Like the way their conversation moved, talking about how faster the world had become, how darker, in some ways - and also how there was still hope, the young generation being surprisingly full of light and resilience and determination to make things better. For everyone and not just a lucky few. A reassuring perspective - the youths were alright and ready to fight. And as the night stretched, silencing the city - or, to be exact, transformed the joyous humdrum of a Friday night into the quiet humming of the early hours - Ariadne and Thera talked of a past long gone. Dug into their memories and mistakes and joys to shed new lights or simply share a bit of the burden those reminiscences put on their old souls. Finally, it was time to clean up the place and slide back into Ari’s flat for fresh coffee and pancakes and maybe some rest as the sun started to rise. Funny, how quickly the time passed when in excellent company - and how great, how marvellous it was to have a friend ! And not every friend, but one which shared the same sort of peculiarity, something Ariadne had never known was possible until she met Thera. How sweet, indeed, to finally have a friend !

[secret-engima]

You know how you said that Sephiroth found Nox really interesting? Well what if in an au of an au, he ends up tagging along with Nox and Noctis back to their home dimension. It's not as if there's a whole lot waiting for him back in his old one.

Oohhhhh yeah that would be a crazy AU of an AU.

-Nox is 100% chill with letting this madman come home with him.

-Noctis is considerably less chill.

-So is everyone in the Citadel.

-Nox probably has to wipe the floor with Seph a few times to get him to obey Nox’s Rules but afterward he’s just- like Nox’s cat or something. Bratty and aloof and dignified until something catches his interest.

-Seph considerably chills out after Nox figures out he’s got an alien virus in his head and aggressively purges it.

-Ardyn, Cor, and Seph get along wayyyyy too well for Titus’s sanity pls send help.

-Seph volunteers to help train the glaives. The glaives are dumb enough to agree. The Glaives Regret™.

-Takes one (1) look at Prompto and is just like- “I want a nephew. I want this boy as a nephew. Ardyn you have two nephews already this one is mine now. Hello little Nephew I am your new Uncle.” Prompto, who has learned that everyone in the Citadel is nuts by now is just like “...sure?? Okay. Hi new Uncle With Weird Cat Eyes.”

-Ends up taking over the royal library. Because he loves books and someone clearly, CLEARLY needs to help their organizational system honestly you librarians are worse than Shinra’s were. Also the books need a bodyguard. Seph is volunteering himself.

-Meets Luna for the first time and is instantly that meme of “I’ve only known this child for a day but if anything happened to her I would kill everyone in the room and then myself”.

-Luna introduces him to gardening. Seph is surprisingly good at it (and also gets a melancholic look in his eyes that is ... scary similar to Nox’s and Ardyn’s).

-Basically Seph gets to be the Citadel Cat and nobody makes him be a General or a Weapon and while they do indulge his Fite Me impulses by occasionally yeeting him at the Nifs with Cor, for the most part they teach him how to Human™ and have things like Hobbies and Friends.

-Would 100% show up at the hospital after Nyx has hers and Nox’s first bby and be like “I am the godfather.” And Nox knows there’s no winning that fight so Seph is a godfather now I guess someone show him how to safely hold a bby and remind him that swords are not appropriate baby shower gifts.

-Picture Seph sitting in an armchair with his godchild in his lap, carefully reading an epic poem that is wayyyyy over bby’s comprehension level but his voice is deep and smooth and soothing so bby is OUT like a light within the first four paragraphs and Seph comes to the stunned realization that 1. He would literally burn down the entire world for this child and 2. He’s stuck here because if he moves he might wake up the bby. Good thing he chose a favorite book of his he supposes, because he’s going to be here a while.

falling in love at a coffee shop (asgore/reader)

Summary: “You meet one of your top-tier clients. Oh no, he’s cute.”

3k-Kofi Poll Results Drabble - Asgore/Reader, SOULmate AU: Humor, Fluff, & Romance (with just a dash of Angst™)

read it on ao3 / buy me a coffee

That guy had been staring at you for over ten minutes.

Not non-stop, of course, or else you’d have called the cops by now. But he kept glancing at you every so often, and you were starting to get nervous.

He was a big guy, a blonde Monster that reminded you of a minotaur. You didn’t feel any malicious intent rolling off him—not with that Hawaiian print shirt and khaki shorts combo, at least. Didn’t mean you felt any better about it, though. You just wanted some coffee, man.

Aside from that, you had much bigger things to worry about than the blooming possibility of a stalker. Like work, which you had in two hours. For a ten-hour shift. That you’d woken up an hour ago for. God, this sucked.

Work sucked. Life sucked. Everything sucked.

You took another swig of your cappuccino. Things sucked a little less.

It was still dark out, too, which meant that you were going to be stuck in your dead-end of a job for the better part of what was supposed to be a pretty nice day.

Maybe you could call in sick? Two hours seemed like a fine range of warning. You rubbed your temples, groaning into your arms. No, you couldn’t do that. You needed the money.

In that case.

You made it through three extra sugar packets to your already saccharine caffeinated slush of a drink, when a soft, baritone voice echoed from right behind you.

“Excuse me.”

The small shock caused you to jump, but thankfully, you caught your cup before it could tip. Which was more than just relieving, because it was scalding. Your “admirer” had the decency to look ashamed when you whirled around, fixing him with a death glare.

“Yeah?” Usually you weren’t so snippy, especially with strangers. But it was early, and you were tired.

“My apologies for disturbing you.” He began again, in a low, rumbling voice that made your palms feel sweaty. Turns out he was a lot bigger up close. This guy had to be, what? Six, seven-and-a-half feet? Maybe eight if you were pushing it. “But I couldn’t help but notice the symbol on your shirt. You work for D.T. Corp, correct?”

You glanced down, eyeing the tiny logo. It was like an abstract heart, almost square in shape, with a line running through the middle. Too avant-garde for your tastes, but at least it stuck out. The place had a nice reputation, so it wasn’t out of the ordinary that you got attention for it.

“Yeah, can I help you with something?” Your voice tipped more into customer-service mode instinctively, and you cringed. It was such an automatic response, you hated it.

The Minotaur…or whatever he was, gave you an awkward, shy smile. It was such a genuinely warm expression. Suddenly the room felt several degrees too warm for comfort.

“Ah, I am sorry to bother you. But I have important business to attend to at your workplace.”

Then it clicked. You knew you’d seen his face before. He was Asgore Dreemurr, the Ruler of the Monster Kingdom. Talk about your “TIFU” scenarios.

“I was expecting someone…taller.” You offered, giving him a small grin.

Asgore smiled back, the tension melting from his expression. “Ah, I get that often.”

The smile grew as you leaned back, patting the empty chair next to you. “If you’re in need of assistance, please, sit. I’ll be happy to help however I can, Your Highness.”

“Please, just Asgore is fine.” He waved a hand dismissively, settling onto the tiny booth-seat as best he could. It creaked under his weight. Jeez, he was big.

You coughed to clear your thoughts, taking another sip of your drink. “So, what can I help you with, Asgore?”

“Well, you see.” He reached around himself, pulling a small manila envelope. It was surprisingly crisp, and not at all wrinkled, despite being in what you assumed was his back pocket. “In this document I received, it stated that I would need a human witness with me to sign the procedural papers so that we could go ahead with the Reformation Plan.”

His smile dropped a bit at the edges, “However. The only human I am acquainted with would be our ambassador, a young child named Frisk. Given the circumstances, I’m afraid I could not ask them for their assistance. I was hoping that, possibly, I could ask a worker to find someone who’s available to take their place?”

You nodded sagely. Though you didn’t know much about this ambassador, you’d heard of them enough to know that your superiors were adamant that the proceedings take place in the presence of an adult committee. “Alright, so the meeting is…?”

He wrung his hands together. “In a week’s time.”

“And you need a volunteer witness to oversee a legal signing?”

Another nod. “Yes.”

“Understood.” Draining the rest of your coffee, you sighed. It was going to be a busy day. You hadn’t even clocked in yet and you were “on-the-job.” But there was no pussy-footing around this one, this guy was a big client. “Why don’t we meet at the administration building in, say…a few days, and we can speak to the front desk about finding an open appointment for one of our volunteers to assist you?”

It looked like you’d just offered him the world on a silver platter. “Oh, thank you! I would appreciate it.”

“No problem sir, we strive to offer our clients the best in customer service.” Your tone was steadily dropping into a “pre-trained” manner you’d grown very used to using over the phone. It was an unintentional instinct, but highly effective for the general position you had.

“That’s a relief to hear. I greatly appreciate your help!” When he smiled, the tips of two tiny fangs poked out from his upper lip. His eyes crinkled at the edges, one blue, one amber. Both sparkled in admiration. You hoped he didn’t catch you staring.

‘Get it together, agent.’

Like planned, you met up with Mr. Dreemurr at the end of the week. He was just as warm and friendly as when you’d first met him, though with an air of respectfulness that exuded from him like the floral scent he always carried. When it came to business, he seemed to take things seriously, which was both a great relief and a slight surprise to you.

It was his outfit that caught you off-guard the most. A long, royal purple robe encased his form from shoulder to feet, dragging ever-so-slightly on the floor. The shoulder-plates were thick and coated with ornate designs that put your Vera Bradley bag to shame.

He was big, bold, and bashful in a way that reminded you vaguely of Prince Adam from Beauty and the Beast. Considering you’d had a crush on said Prince from a very young age, you were beginning to regret lending your assistance to the royal. He was just too adorable for you to maintain a professional view, dammit.

His largeness just made things even tougher. It was difficult to keep a pleasant distance inside the terribly cramped elevators. It was obvious that he was trying to give you room, as much as he could, but you were still pressed into the fabric of his cape just enough that you could make out the flexing of muscles beneath. One of his hands sat on your shoulder, keeping you upright as he attempted to shift around the tiny space. He smelled so sweet and your entire body was flushed from head to toe with the heat of his body.

And the worst part? Asgore had no idea about the effect he had on you.

It was either that, or he was tormenting you for fun. You’d had a lot of clients who you were attracted to, physically, but you were quickly finding Mr. Dreemurr to be more charming than you’d ever expected.

The silence buzzed as you pressed against a wall, trying desperately to drown out the pounding of your heart with the dull hum of the elevator. Asgore shifted his weight, eyes glued to the far corner.

“So…again, I greatly appreciate your help. Genuinely. This has all been so…” He looked at a loss for words.

“Stressful?” You offered.

“I was going to say Tirritating, but that works too.” The monster chuckled gently. “Tiring and irritating.”

“Ah, I understand that.” You nodded solemnly. There were times when you often felt smad—your preferred phrase for anxious or melancholic scenarios. “So, um. How are things going? About the whole…erm. I mean. How are you adjusting to the Surface?”

His gaze softened considerably, smile hazy and faraway. “It’s changed quite a bit since the last time I was able to see it. Humans have evolved in so many ways. The technology today is amazing.”

Asgore turned to you, eyes shimmering with excitement. “My companions are teaching about how to use the Under—uh, Internet. So far I’ve become rather well-versed in may-mays.”

Did he mean memes? Ohmygod, he was precious.

“Oh?” You bit back the urge to giggle, “And how’s that going for you?”

Somehow, he perked up even more. “Wonderfully! I’ve recently become fond of a particular may-may that involves one person holding another’s flower before they descend into battle! Oh, and everything with the bees!”

“Bees?”

Asgore nodded. “My hobbies include gardening, so I’m quite used to having insects around. I’ve never been afraid of bees, oh, but Asriel was so afraid of them…!”

He stopped then. You watched the life drain from his movements, only understanding the shift when he glanced at you with sad, watery eyes. “Asriel was my son…he did not make it out of the Underground.”

“Oh…I’m sorry to hear that.” The horror of the statement sank into your gut, pummeling you with an unnecessary guilt. You had nothing to do with his son’s passing, but you still felt terrible. Like you’d somehow provoked the resurfacing of this memory.

A thick tension filled the small space, broken only by the soft hum of the elevator continuing to rise. Just as you moved to say something, trying to lift the mood, the elevator dinged. It came without warning, and you jumped a bit.

“Oh!” Asgore smiled, but his eyes were downcast. “We are here. I will let you lead the way.”

You clamped your lips shut, scurrying into the hall before you ultimately said something to make the situation worse. Stupid. You should have just kept your mouth shut. Kept your head down. It was against protocol to get friendly with clientele, and there was no doubt that the King of Monsterkind was not an exception. No matter how charming, or kind, or cute he was—

“Um, are you okay?” You jumped again. Asgore was leaning close to you as you walked, his large stride able to keep pace with your hurried steps with ease. He looked very concerned. “You look as if something is bothering you.”

“Oh—uh—no!” The words tumbled from your mouth gracelessly. “I’m just thinking about…work I’ll have to finish later today. Projects and all. Nothing huge.”

Ohmygod, shut up. You’re embarrassing yourself.

“Wowie! What branch of the corporation do you work for, if I may ask?”

“I’m a receptionist,” you replied bluntly. “It’s not a very prestigious job, but it has to be done. The company would fall apart without me.”

That was very unlikely, but you liked to think it anyway. It gave you a sense of self-importance and confidence in the workplace. Asgore nodded.

“I see! You seem very personable and friendly, I’m sure you’re very good at your job.”

Heat crawled up the back of your neck, a flush spreading across the bridge of your nose. “Oh, really? Thank you, sir, that means a lot to me.”

He gave you that sweet, simple smile again. Your heart pounded.

Dammit, dammit, dammit. You had to get out of this situation before you said something that could get you fired.

“So…why me?” Wait, that made no sense without context. “I mean, why me out of everyone else? I’m sure there are plenty of other highly qualified individuals who were available—we tend to pay legal officials to come in for most signings. Not that I’m not happy to help, of course.”

“Ah. Well,” Asgore began, a pink flush spreading across the ends of his ears. “I suppose you could say, out of convenience?”

“Oh.” Yeah that made sense. Kind of. “Well, I did offer, so you’ve got me there. I’m glad to be of service, though.”

“I’m glad to have your service!” He beamed. “Ah, but if I do recall, you seemed to recognize me, right? I suppose my reputation precedes me.”

You nodded. “It certainly does, Mr. Dreemurr. The entire corporation has been buzzing about your presence. We’re all very excited and lucky to have your patronage.”

“That’s wonderful to hear.” Asgore chuckled softly. “Though I do have to admit, I feel a bit guilty.”

“Guilty? About what?” Oh man, was this gonna be another sadness bomb? You braced yourself, just in case.

“Well, I was not entirely truthful about my reason for noticing you in the crowd.”

Oh. Well that was…slightly relieving. You cocked your head, trying to ignore the fluttery feeling in your stomach. “Now I’m a little worried. You haven’t been stalking me, have you?”

“Goodness, no!” He was quick to reply, looking shocked. “I just…well…that is to say…”

You stopped outside the office door. Asgore gently placed a paw over your shoulder. Your ears were pounding with the thrum of your heart.

“Have you ever heard of SOULmates?”

It felt like the world came to a sudden stop. Those words seemed to flip some switch inside you. Or maybe your feelings were finally bubbling to the surface. The words hung on the tip of your tongue, trembling and joyous.

“Y…Yes. But aren’t those just myths? N-Not to sound rude, of course.”

He just smiled. Your body fizzed with energy. “I suppose it would, after so long. But they are very…very real. And I happen to think…that we might be?”

“What would give you that idea?” It tumbled out before you could stop it, your natural curiosity overriding the urge to accept the idea blindly.

“Perhaps you cannot see it, but…here, let me try something.”

Then, standing outside the door to your boss’s office, King Asgore engaged you in battle.

Not literal battle, of course. But everything went dark, then…monochrome? The world looked like it was filled with a grid, the perfect setting for a battleground. Asgore stood before you, bathed in blacks and whites. Something small and spade-shaped floated in his outstretched palm.

Was that…his SOUL? You’d heard that Monsters had physical interpretations of SOULs, but you’d never seen one before. Looking closer, you saw that it wasn’t spade-shaped at all. It was an upside-down heart.

“Wow,” you whispered. Asgore’s eyes were filled with warmth as he gestured for you to look down.

You did.

It was an incredible sight.

Your SOUL, glowing like star in the dark of night. The color shimmered from top to bottom, almost gradient-like in tones. But obviously and unmistakably your most prominent trait.

“Is this…my SOUL?” You couldn’t help but ask, though you already knew the answer. SOUL research was common at D.T. Corp, but given your low ranking position, you’d never really been involved with any of it. The closest you’d gotten to seeing a human SOUL were the fake display models they kept out for visitors to look at.

But seeing the real thing was so much better.

“It’s so warm,” You murmured, cupping your hands beneath the tiny bouncing heart. As Asgore stepped forward to approach you, the glow brightened considerably. A shyness pooled through you when he chuckled.

“That glow is the sign. I suppose Monsters are more attuned to Magic than humans have been for centuries. Of course, this is an issue we’re trying to rectify. Though I suppose, we’ll have to take baby steps working our way up.”

You looked up at him, watching as his expression tensed. “That is to say…I was actually not going to tell you. Until later of course. But I felt, before we continued our business together, that it would be more beneficial to us both if you knew.”

All you could do was nod. It was against company policy to date clients, so it was good that he’d told you. And at the same time, your mind reeled.

Soulmates were a real thing. And you had a Soulmate! And he was a king! And also your client! And a Monster! The King of Monsters!!

Asgore reached out to steady you as you wobbled. “Ah, I knew this was too much. Please, put it out of your mind for now. We’ll have plenty of time to talk about things after business is taken care of. If you wish to, of course. If not, I would understand.”

His eyes flashed sadly, like he was expecting you to reject him. Without thinking, you blurted, “Of course!”

He looked up, then, a small expression of shock on his face. You scrambled to rectify your statement. “Of course, I would like to…discuss matters with you. After all, perhaps this situation could be beneficial to us both…in more ways than one?”

Mr. Dreemurr smiled. “I look forward to it. Ah. But for now, perhaps we shouldn’t keep them waiting. We’ve been standing out here for a while now.”

Ohmygod, you had, hadn’t you? It was an extremely lucky coincidence that hardly anyone was out in the hall, because you weren’t quite ready to accept the news yourself.

You had a soulmate.

You’d met your soulmate.

And he wanted your company.

He wanted you.

The realization sent a surge of child-like joy up your spine. For now, you could push future complications under the rug. Anything problematic that you had to deal with, you could certainly deal with later.

For now, you were happy.

The 3rd Ko-Fi Goal has been reached! I had a lot fun with this one, even if it is kind of open-ended. What would you do if you found out you were SOULmates with one of your company's biggest clients? I'd spontaneously combust on the spot.

KNOWING YOUR PARTNER  WELL  CAN POTENTIALLY MAKE WRITING TOGETHER A LOT EASIER.

BASICS

NAME: Kyrian PRONOUNS: they/them SEXUALITY:  bi grey-ace ZODIAC SIGN:  Sagittarius (Lunar Aquarius) AGE: 24

EXPERIENCE

HOW LONG (MONTHS/YEARS?): Uh. At least 6-7 years on Tumblr and maybe a year or so before that on chatzy and texting PLATFORMS YOU’VE USED: forums, gaia, tumblr, text, chatzy BEST EXPERIENCE: When I get to Rp with friends that I had known for a while from my personal - that’s always plenty fun. But in general, being able to ramble about weird details that come into my head about characters.

WRITING  PREFERENCES

FLUFF, ANGST OR SMUT:  This might be a toss-up between fluff and angst. I think they are both really good for developing relations and filling out a character in different ways. I like placing my characters in whatever scenarios can generate a cool conversation or a fun experience, or some major self-examination in angst territory. Smut is enjoyable in it’s own right with the right person but it comes behind the other two. PLOTS OR MEMES:  Initially memes, because I don’t always have established plot ideas about how I want things to go. But once we start interacting, I’m definitely open to plots and other suggestions. Of course, if I immediately get an idea for a plot I’ll be sure to bring that to a potential partner. LONG OR SHORT REPLIES:  Write as much or as little as you need. I definitely can range a lot in my writing and I don’t necessarily need my partner to match that length or anything. I can respond to most lengths. As long as I feel like there is something for me to grasp onto in a way - I can work with that just fine.

BEST TIME TO WRITE:  When I have time. I can be online during the day but.. I tend to be on my older account. Evening times and weekends are when I make space for Ati - provided I don’t have pre-existing plans because I do surprisingly like to get out of the house sometimes. ARE YOU LIKE YOUR MUSE(S):  There are definitely different aspects of myself in each of my muses. In Ati’s case, I tend to see the most detached, far removed and melancholic aspects of my existence but heightened to a degree that can be scary. She’s a chance to play the more ridiculously casual parts of my attitude with a original perspectives thrown in there.

im procrastinating sleep lol so its no problem that its a lot!

3: Do you have a favorite clothing style?

hm im into fashion and i have a lot of styles i like! i think korean street fashion looks very good on most people! its a pretty broad category with a vague definition tho so i feel like thats to be expected. 

8: What is your Greek personality type? [Sanguine, Phlegmatic, Choleric, or Melancholic]

surprisingly despite being big into personality tests i dont know this one! i think one of my friends said i seemed like a melancholic one. time to google it and take a test or two tho bcuz i love this shit

ok according to these tests which im 100% sure are accurate and true, my results were......... all over the place! im just gonna go with a mix of mainly melancholic, and choleric

20: Do you like space or the ocean more?

i love both but im gonna have to go with ocean, i really wanna live somewhere near the ocean someday and water is just so pretty in general.

22: Pet peeves?

i have... too many to list, im petty and annoyed very easily tho i know it’s unreasonable most of the time ha ha. i guess right now its people not doing their bare minimum of work or trying to use pity/guilt tripping to manipulate others since it’s most relevant in my life rn because of work and shitty co-workers. also when people are condescending i will rage. quietly, but i will rage

27: Any phobias or fears?

bugs, heights, and not to get too deep but inadvertently ruining my life or being lonely 4ever

30: Favorite movie?

honestly i forget movies really easily uhh... i remember logan was good, and i had a lot of fun watching battle royale with a friend. 

colorful is one i always forget but it was a really nice watch

48: A sound you really love?

this isn’t something i think about a lot hm. the violins in toxic maybe?? honestly i like silence a lot and white noise, lakes/oceans, etc

69: What is your star sign?

I’m a taurus! i dont know shit about astrology but i know my full chart always sounds really fake

78: Is swimming or ice skating more fun to you?

I LOVE ICE SKATING ACTUALLY!! its really beautiful and takes so much effort and also. thicc legs haha. im trying to teach myself some basic moves since i cant find any classes not aimed at children ): every time i go i have so much fun and every little thing that finally “clicks” im very happy, im such a beginner (im working on 2 foot spins rn) but honestly i love being on the ice and im always thinking “ :/ wow wish the rink was open rn id rather be skating”

i dont really keep up with professional skaters at all and i probably wouldnt know a lot of their names if anyone mentioned them, but i really like johnny weir

94: Would you rather be able to fly or read minds?

i feel like being able to read minds would be devastating, but id also be able to use it to be more likeable and thats appealing haha! i want to know what im doing wrong! at the same time though anyone would feel like its an incredible invasion of their privacy on the most basic level and i feel like having that power would be a bad idea, despite me knowing this is just a fun question im taking it too seriously haha. flying could be fun but like what if government aircraft shot me?

110: Nosiest question you have ever been asked?

honestly everything this one coworker has asked me, including if i’ve ever tasted cuM I STILL LAUGH ABOUT IT? but also he deeply disgusts me and makes me uncomfortable. i reported him twice and we still work together ha ha

145: How many languages do you speak fluently?

only one and im sad about it! ): 

since my school only ever offered a few courses ive taken 1 and a half years of spanish, a year of french plus a decent amount of time on duolingo afterwards, i tried to learn japanese in middle school and i still wouldnt mind learning more, i’ve been interested in finnish since i was 11 but never tried learning until recently and then i discovered theres 0 decent online resources, free or not!

i can’t keep up with one thing consistently over a long period of time though and it makes learning a new one very difficult. there’s so many id like to learn though my motivation comes in small, very infrequent bursts

149: Favorite thing about your personality:

self love machine broke

uhhhhhhhh id like to think im pretty open minded i guess? and self reflecting? both those things i absolutely did not used to be

ive grown a lot over time, and i still have tons of problems and issues with my personality, but ive still grown and id rather have these current problems than be the gross person i used to be

thats all the questions i hope i didn’t miss any!! i always feel like my answers tend to be too long a;osihf;asof

dam i should sleep

BUT once again thank you anon ;o i always appreciate even just ask meme stuff!

FEAR(S): "the devil”, getting close to anyone, performing in front of people, people in general, cats, knives & other sharp objects, the sight of his own blood

ASPIRATION(S): "to escape the Devil’s wrath,” as he phrases it. of course, the whole ‘THE DEVIL IS OUT TO KILL EVERYONE I LOVE AND THEN HE’LL KILL ME NEXT’ thing is obviously just in Ezekiel’s head, but it feels very real to him! he basically just wants to be free of the “demons” in his head. aside from that, he also really really reeaaally wants to own an orphanage someday! basically take in orphan kids and help give them a much better life than he had. but as for right now, he fully realizes he’s not ready for that at all, so he’s currently more focused on his music career and getting better mentally, though the ladder is a slow process.

POSITIVE TRAITS: Patient, simple, humble

MUN QUESTIONS.

Q1: IF YOU COULD WRITE YOUR CHARACTER YOUR WAY IN THEIR OWN MOVIE, WHAT WOULD IT BE CALLED, WHAT STYLE WOULD IT BE FILMED IN, AND WHAT WOULD IT BE ABOUT?:

Honestly probably something like the movie Sybil??? like basically just delving deep into his whole psychology and mindset and whatnot and why he acts the way he acts. those are always like my FAVORITE type of movies, and Ezekiel would honestly be fucking perfect for something like that bc literally every single aspect of his entire personality has been molded in some way shape or form by some event in his life, especially to do with the cult he was raised in, and it hONESTLY IS SO INTERESTING TO JUST LIKE.. STUDY WHAT EZEKIELS BRAIN IS LIKE BASICALLY. AT LEAST FOR ME ANYWAY BC I AM HIS MUN AND ALL BUT.

Q2: WHAT WOULD THEIR SOUNDTRACK / SCORE SOUND LIKE?:

for some reason i always kinda associate him with like edgy violin and piano music?? i mean hey rock stars can be classy too fuck u

Q3: WHY DID YOU START WRITING THIS CHARACTER?:

WELL ORIGINALLY WHEN I FIRST CREATED HIM HE WAS JUST BASED OFF MURDOC NICCALS BC, YALL ALREADY KNOW DAMN WELL IM OBSESSED WITH THAT PICKLE MAN, BUT. Now, however, he’s WAAAAAAAAY different and i just love writing him so much bc like. basically like what i said in the movie question!! he is SO fucking interesting to delve into psychology wise. like, yeah he has an edgy ass tragic backstory, but whats neat about that is you can absolutely see how said edgy backstory ties into his mindset and individual habits and how the memories of it still affects his everyday life despite the fact that he’s escaped it a long time ago now. even in the small things he does, chances are is that every single thing that he does is either something he does to soothe and comfort himself for his own safety, or something that has just been fucking drilled into his mind by the cult members and whatnot, if any of that makes sense? LIKE YALL DONT UNDERSTAND I HAVE LITERALLY WATCHED LIKE HOURS LONG DOCUMENTARIES ON ORPHANAGES AND SATANIC CULTS AND PSYCHOLOGY AND HOW TRAUMA LIKE WHAT EZEKIEL EXPERIENCED CAN FUCK SOMEONE UP, JUST FOR THE SAKE OF WRITING HIM CORRECTLY AND REALISTICALLY. LIKE HE STARTED OFF AS SOME MURDOC NICCALS REJECT WHEN I MADE HIM IN LIKE?? 2015 MAYBE??? BUT NOW, MY MAIN INTEREST IN HIM IS LIKE, HOW FASCINATING HIS FUCKING MIND IS IN A WAY. idk im a big psychology nerd but.

Q4: WHAT FIRST ATTRACTED YOU TO THIS CHARACTER?:

Murdoc

Q5: DESCRIBE THE BIGGEST THING YOU DISLIKE ABOUT YOUR MUSE:

him pushing everyone away! like its one thing to have a self-defense mechanism like where you just generally act kinda mean to drive people off, but Ezekiel can really take it to a whole new level and he really can be like.. a hUGE ASSHOLE BC OF IT. its mostly when he realizes that he may be starting to become close with anyone that it really gets to a bad point and he becomes all the more self-destructive. THIS IS GONNA BE VERY UNSANITARY SO WARNING BUT hes literally told someone in an rp once like “YOURE GOING TO FORCE ME TO EAT YOUR SHIT OR DRINK YOUR FUCKING URINE JUST LIKE THOSE FUCKING PEOPLE IN THE ORPHANAGE DID, ARENT YOU???? IS THAT WHAT YOU FUCKING WANT FROM ME?? TO USE ME, HURT ME, CUT ME, WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU WANT??? WE ARE NEVER GOING TO BE FUCKING FRIENDS YOU GODDAMN IDIOT!!! WHAT THE HELL MADE YOU THINK WE HAD ANYTHING IN COMMON??” AND ITS JUST KINDA.. YIKES SCOOB! but basically hes willing to say just about anything to push people away so he can avoid getting close to anyone

Q6: WHAT DO YOU HAVE IN COMMON WITH YOUR MUSE?:

WE BOTH FEAR AND AVOID ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS LIKE THE FUCKIN WIND. also when i was younger i definitely had a tendency to try and make people hate me just to push people away like Ezekiel does but im not like that anymore thankfully!!

Q7: HOW DOES YOUR MUSE FEEL ABOUT YOU?:

oh hed probably try to fucking kill me lol

Q8: WHAT CHARACTERS DOES YOUR MUSE HAVE INTERESTING INTERACTIONS WITH?

HONESTLY LIKE.. P MUCH EVERY INTERACTION EZEKIEL HAS IS SO GOOD. Ezekiel is one of those characters where its very hard to have a boring rp bc he just does so much shit, so like no matter who i rp him with, its bound to be amazing. ALTHOUGH I DO NEED TO MAKE HIM INTERACT WITH MORE PEOPLE TBH!!! the only problem i have when writing him sometimes is actually making him talk to new people, bc of his extreme shut-in attitude and whatnot, so he literally just never starts conversations with anyone he barely knows.

Q9: WHAT GIVES YOU INSPIRATION TO WRITE YOUR MUSE?:

listening to any music that reminds me of him! but otherwise, it usually just comes pretty naturally to me tbh. just some days ill be in the mood for him all day--same with a lot of my characters actually.

Q10: HOW LONG DID THIS TAKE YOU TO COMPLETE?:

A LONG ASS TIME
