[crazygirl58]

the song smoke by liz phair, the album opener from her electroclash-pop-rap-absurdist-post-post-post-post-ironic-satirical-antisatirical masterpiece where she reflected on her experiences working in a career field dominated by men in order to critique the state of the music industry and the socioeconomic standing of women within it, 2010's funstyle, brought the world of electroclash to its knees.

the dark, heavy beats of the track backing invoke stylistic similarities to ladytron's first two albums (604 to a greater degree than light & magic) or the early work of peaches. in some regards, it even leans outside of electroclash, possibly towards trip hop. the production on this track is not dissimilar to the production of nellee hooper, graham massey, tricky, howie b, and, of course, björk herself on her 1995 album post, i find a shocking amount of similarity between liz phair's smoke and the tracks army of me and enjoy.

the instrumentation on this track harks back to that of the band le tigre, electrocute's 2004 album troublesome bubblegum, and even the guitars on lesbians on ecstacy's 2004 self titled album.

the spoken words elements which seem to be influneced by the work of chicks on speed are present not only on this song, but remain a prominent feature throughout the album. phair's fearless approach towards absurdity and the methods she uses to embrace it (rapping, avant-garde electronic production, extreme vocals, etc.) reminds me of chicks on speed's 2003 album 99 cents. thematically, funstyle and 99 cents are not identical, but certainly would agree with each other as critiques of superficial, greedy, exploitative industries.

her vocals on the track are not unlike those of alison goldfrapp on 2005's strict machine and the "you dummy" sample in the chorus is reminiscent of the "you big dummy!" sample used throughout M.I.A.'s 2005 release, URAQT.

liz phair has never failed to exceed the expectations her listeners place upon her. this is yet another example of how the always controversial, frequently underestimated often overlooked, sometimes overlooked for a good reason, never forgotten artist has forever altered yet another genre of music. first the indie rock world with her demos and 1993's exile in guyville, then her overhated attempt to break into the ever expanding teen pop genre with 2003's self titled, and, as we can conclude from the analysis above, the world of electronica with 2010's funstyle. keep in mind, smoke is just one song from liz phair's TRUE magnum opus. the rest of this album contains even more brave, daring pieces of electroclash inspired music that should not be overlooked.

Masterlist

Loki and Frigga walk through first, transporting into y/n’s hospital room directly. The boys were fast asleep on the bed the healer set up for them. Loki instantly regretting not having them taken back home until this was resolved. Before Loki could make a move to the door to ask the guard to take the children to a different room Frigga was already in motion towards them. Unable to fight the urge to see her grandchildren, she quickly cast a sleeping spell on both of them to ensure they do not wake during their visit. Knowing they were both in a deep sleep she brushed her fingers through their hair, a sweet smile on her face. Loki was so entranced by the image of his mother with his children he did not hear Thor and his other self come through the time door themselves. 

Past Loki notices his mother fondly looking over the two boys and immediately notices that their features are very close to his own. He looks over to Thor, “are those my children?”.

Thor hesitates to answer and looks over to the variant he now considers his brother who immediately reacts to the question being asked, “no, they are my children.”

“Right…and where is this salvation of ours?”, Past Loki takes a look around the room and sees a young woman lying in a bed. Frigga separates herself from the boys and walks over to the bed and takes in the young girl who looked so pale and fragile. Frigga looks at the soul forge and studies your vitals, convincing her that this poor girl was indeed cursed. She looks over her shoulder, to the son from her time and sees his gaze focused on the young girl.

“My son, come closer.”, she holds out her hand to him.

Meanwhile, Thor walks over to present Loki and places his hand on his shoulder, “this will be over soon brother.”

Loki nods but doesn’t show any other sign of acknowledgment, all of his attention is on you and his variant.

Past Loki takes Frigga’s hand and gets closer to the bed, he looks down and takes in your form. “She’s so….small.”, he turns to look at his other self, “this is who you are so desperate for me to save?”. Present Loki’s body tenses, sensing that his past self is about to cause some unnecessary mischief. “Yes, what of it?”.

Past Loki shrugs his shoulders and looks back at you, “well…she’s not exactly the type of creature we tend to fall for is she?…”

“Be careful variant..”, Present Loki growls.

“Alright..enough.”, Frigga steps in and looks to her younger son, “Loki…please. The longer we take the more damage we can cause. If you will not do this for me then do it for your future children.”, as she mentions the two boys she looks over to them. Past Loki follows her gaze and when he sees the two sleeping miniatures of himself he takes a deep breath. He knows that if he wants a chance at having this life he has to follow what his mother says. He takes another look at the boys and then looks back to you, he brushes the hair from your forehead and lightly caresses it with his thumb. He then leans in and places a light kiss on your brow and then places another one on your lips.

Nothing.

Present Loki rushes over to the bed, “is it working?”.

Frigga looks at you, the soul forge and then her son, “I’m not sure. Maybe she needs more time.”

“Or maybe you were all wrong and this was a huge waste of time.”, Past Loki can’t help but chime in with some snark.

“Maybe you should kiss her again?”, Thor suggests.

Past Loki shrugs and he moves to lean in to give you another kiss but Present Loki stops him by placing a hand on his chest, “give her another moment…”

Past Loki looks to his other self, “jealous of yourself?”

Present Loki was about to respond when he heard the sound he has been waiting for for a week, “Loki?…”

His gaze shoots from his variant to you and relief immediately floods through him, he shoves his other self behind him and moves to be sure he was in your line of sight. “Darling?”, he starts to softly rub your forehead to try and help you come back. Your eyes were slowly opening and closing, you groan lightly from moving your stiff limbs but when you finally open your eyes again you have the strength to keep them open. You see Loki above you and your eyes start to fill with tears. “Am I back? Is this real?”, you ask him.

Loki nods his head and carts his fingers through your hair, “yes my love, you’re here. I have you.”. He leans in and kisses you and you only break apart when you hear a sniffle come from the foot of the bed. When you look to the sound you see a beautiful woman, you look back to Loki with a look on your face that probably showed your confusion.

Loki takes your hand, “my love, this is my mother, Frigga. Mother, this is y/n.”

You brow furrows in confusion, “your mother? But…how?”.

“Later darling, I will explain all of this to you later.”, Loki interrupts your questioning.

“Ahem…”.

Present Loki rolls his eyes and turns around to see his younger self with a mischievous smile on his face. “What? Do I not get an introduction? I was the charming prince to save the day after all.”

“What’s going on?”, you ask. Even more confused now because you are definitely seeing two Loki’s instead of one.

Present Loki turns to you, “my heart, I promise I will explain everything to you….”

“Mommy?…”, everyone looks over to the interrupting voice. They see Narfi sitting up and rubbing his eyes. He takes a look around and he sees his mother awake, his dad standing by her side and a woman he did not recognize at first. He then looks over and see his uncle and his dad…wait…the boy does a double take and then looks over to the bed again. “Dad?…”

Present Loki walks over to Narfi, quickly looking over to Vali who was still sound asleep. Narfi’s abilities possibly combating the sleeping spell Frigga had placed on them. “Narfi…”, he smiles at his son who is getting so much stronger with each passing day. “As I said to your mother, I will explain everything later. For now I’m afraid we must say goodbye to our guests.”

Narfi looks over Loki’s shoulder to look at the younger looking version of his dad and the unknown woman. He quickly stands and runs to his mothers side, grateful to see you awake but still confused.

“Mommy…you’re awake.”, he throws his arms around your neck and you can feel his tense little body relax around you.

“I am baby. I love you so much.”, you close your eyes and embrace Narfi in your arms. When you open your eyes you see the younger version of Loki staring at you.

“Well…this is what I have to look forward to then? A loving family..how touching.”, Past Loki says aloud while keeping eye contact with you.

“Loki, we must go back now.”, Frigga implores. 

Past Loki looks at his mother and nods, Present Loki walks over to the other side of your bed and places a kiss on your forehead. “Thor and I will escort them back, we will be back shortly.”

“Hurry back please.”, you beg breathlessly.

“As fast as the Bifrost my love.”, he walks over to Narfi who is still sitting on your bed wrapped up in your arms. “Watch over your mother and brother, I’ll be back soon.”, with a kiss to Narfi’s head he looks to Thor and his younger self and motions them to move to the other side of the room.

Frigga walks over to you and takes your hand, “thank you my dear. You have brought much joy to my son’s life. Take care of yourself and these precious ones.”

You give her a sweet smile and tighten your hold on her hand, “I will. Thank you.”

Frigga looks to Narfi and brushes her hand through his hair, “goodbye sweet boy, I trust you will look after your mother while your father is away.”

Narfi gives a small nod, “yes ma’am.”

Frigga smiles at them one last time, walks over to Vali who is still asleep and gives him a sweet kiss on his brow. She gives her grandchildren one final look and then walks over to her sons, ready to go back to her time. Present Loki activates the tempad and the familiar orange doorway appears, Past Loki and Frigga walk through first hand in hand with Present Loki and Thor following close behind them. When they entered Frigga’s rooms Present Loki closes the time door and looks to his mother and younger self. “I can’t thank you enough.”

Frigga holds her hands out to take his in hers, “of course my son. No matter when or where, we are a family. I love you. Both of you.”, reaching out for Thor’s hand as well.

Present Loki looks over to Past Loki, he walks over and holds out his hand. “Thank you. I promise you, saving her was the best decision you could’ve made for our future.”

“Hmm..we shall see..”, Past Loki says cryptically. 

Present Loki gives him one last look, almost wanting to tell his past self everything that is in store for him to save him all of the heartache that he had endured throughout the years after he found out his true heritage. 

No.

He won’t risk losing you or his sons. 

His past self will have to walk down to same broken road.

He nods at his past self and walks over to his mother and brother, he brings Frigga into his arms for an embrace. “I love you so much mother.”

“I love you too my son.”, she pulls away from him and cradles his face in her hands, “be good. Both of you.”

“Pff..I’m always good.”, Thor says under his breath.

Loki pulls away from Frigga, gives her one last look and once again activates the tempad. Hopefully for the last time. He looks to Thor and they walk through the time door to get back to their time. When they walk through Loki is filled with immediate relief when he sees you wide awake with Narfi still in your arms but now Vali has joined them both on your hospital bed. As soon as he sees his family he feels so much love and joy he could feel the tears already forming in his eyes.

“Daddy!”, Vali says excitedly. 

“My boys. Taking care of mommy for me?”, he asks with a smile and tears in his eyes.

Narfi nods, “can we go home?”

“I will ask a healer brother.”, Thor pats him on the back and leaves the room.

Loki walks over to his family, “how are you feeling?”, he asks you.

You nod, “good. Better than I though I would to be honest. I do want to go home though. I want our bed.”

“Hopefully Thor will return with good news.”. As if they summoned him, Thor entered the room with a healer who quickly started to check your vitals.

Loki and the boys waited patiently while the healers checked you over but Narfi couldn’t wait to ask his dad about what had happened. “Dad…was that you?

Loki looks down at his son, “I will explain everything once we get your mother home and comfortable. Alright?”

Narfi nods and watched the healers work on you.

While the healers were working Val and Sylvie quickly enter the room and stop in their tracks when they see you awake.

“It worked then?”, Sylvie asks Loki who responds with a nod. Loki removes Sylvie’s tempad from his wrist and practically shoves it in her hand, not wanting to have it attached to him any longer. Hopefully never having to ask to use it ever again.

“Maza?”, he asks her.

“In a cell, we’ll figure out what to do with her later. Just focus on your family right now Loki.”, Val answers. 

A healer walks up to them and addresses Loki, “My Prince, I will asses the soul forge and if all looks well you may take Lady y/n home.”

Loki nods at the healer, “yes, thank you. We are most anxious to get her home.”

She smiles, “of course. It will only take a moment.”

As she is looking at the soul forge, Kelly bursts in the room. “Y/n!”. Loki makes room for your friend to stand by your bed. “Oh my god you’re awake!”, she looks up at the soul forge, “everything looks normal!”, she exclaims happily but then looks over to the elder healer who was also evaluating your vitals. “Right? Everything is normal?”, she asks to be sure. Kelly along with the other humans who lives on New Asgard was still getting used to Asgardian technology and learning how to read and understand the soul forge was a skill in itself. But thankfully the healer smiles and nods, “yes, everything looks normal. Lady y/n is free to go home.”

“Yay!!”, the boys exclaim. So happy that this nightmare is coming to an end.

Loki looks down at you and smiles, “are you ready to go home darling?”

You smile, “yes please.” You look over at Kelly and healer who are quietly watching your interaction with your family. “Thank you all so much.”

Kelly smiles and walks back over to the head of the bed, she takes your hand and kisses the back of it. “You don’t need to thank us. Go home and be with your family, we’ll talk soon.”. With a quick kiss to your forehead, Kelly hugs the boys, says her goodbyes and leaves the room with the elder healer closely following her out the door to give you some privacy to get ready to go home.

Loki takes his original position back by the head of the bed and looks at you with a sweet smile, “ready?”.

You let out a deep exhale, “yes, please. I want my bed.”

Val and Sylvie say their goodbyes, both planning on having a nice quiet evening themselves. With Maza being in a cell they didn’t have anything to worry about or stay on guard for. Thor on the other hand is oddly quiet which Loki can’t help but address. “Brother? Are you alright?”.

Thor nods, “yes brother, I just….I…it’s no matter. Go home and be with your family.”.

Before Loki or you could respond to him, Narfi slips off of the bed and walks over to his uncle taking his enormous hand in his little one.

“You can come home with us Uncle…you don’t have to feel alone.”, he says sweetly.

Thor’s eyes fill with tears, secretly he was dreading going home when this awful situation had come to a close. With Sylvie spending most of her time with Val, Thor spent a lot of time alone in his big home. The silence often swallowing him whole, he was always used to being around people and crowds. In Asgard he would usually have Sif and the Warriors Three by his side and in New Asgard he would always find himself in the presence of you and his nephews but with his brother’s return he has been feeling like he intrudes on their family more often than not.

Loki notices his brothers hesitation and reaction to his sons words. “Brother.”

Thor looks over to Loki and Loki can’t help but feel a twinge of heartbreak for his brother. He never considered what it has been like for him. Thor truly lost everything, his mother, father, brother and home. And here Loki was, seemingly getting everything he has ever prayed for without having to go through the losses that his brother had endured. Loki takes a deep breath, looks down at you and smiles. You smile back knowing exactly what he is thinking and you nod your head in acceptance. Loki looks back to his broken brother, “come home with us brother. Please. Our family should be together.”

Thor’s face breaks out into the widest smile, the tears he was trying to hold back finally fall down his face. “You’re sure brother? I do not wish to intrude.”

“You’re not intruding Thor”, you respond. “I want to be around my family right now and you are most definitely part of this family. Will you come home with us?”

Vali hops off of the bed and runs over to his uncle, “will you please come home with us Uncle Thor? Please! Please?”.

Thor lets out a loud laugh and lifts both boys in his arms, “I would love nothing more.”

With that Loki conjures a portal home, picks you up and you all walk through together. When you hear the portal snap close behind you, you let out a breath of comfort. Nothing beats being home with your boys. Loki places you down on the couch and places a blanket over your legs, the boys immediately sit on either side of you both of them taking one of your hands in theirs. Loki looks at his family and smiles, “do you need anything? Hungry? Thirsty?”.

You shake your head and smile, all you wanted was to be with your family and you were getting just that. 

“Ahem….”, everyone looks over to Thor. “I am all of those things brother.”

Loki rolls his eyes but conjures a small spread for his family to eat, he knew that once the excitement of their mother being home wears off they will probably be hungry as well. These last few days have been draining and he knew his children will only last so long without needed food and sleep. As soon as they saw the food they immediately dove in, the living room isn’t the place they normally share meals but Loki wanted you to be as comfortable as possible. Once the boys…and Thor…were full Narfi finally couldn’t wait anymore for answers and to be honest neither could you.

“Daddy?”

“Yes Narfi?”, Loki smiles at his inquisitive child.

“What exactly happened? You said you would explain later.”, Narfi asks shyly.

Loki nods, “I certainly did.” He looks over to you and Vali making sure they are both listening as well. “Ok…so you know that the evil lady placed a horrible curse on mommy and after some questioning we found out how to break the curse but we needed someone very specific to break it.”

“Who?!”, Vali asks.

“Well..me.”, Loki was starting to feel like the explanation he originally planned out might not be the best one for his sons. But he didn’t want to lie to them, he promised he would tell them everything. He sees the confusion on their little faces and recognizes that his children are not normal children. They are his children and they have already seen and experienced some extraordinary things, so the truth shouldn’t be to hard for them to digest.

“You see the curse Maza placed on your mother could only be broken by your mother receiving a kiss from her one true love.”

“Like Sleeping Beauty?!”, Narfi says excitedly. 

Loki not knowing what he was referencing looked to your for help, you giggle at his confusion and brush your hand through Narfi’s hair. “Yes baby, just like Sleeping Beauty.”. Narfi smiles and looks back to his father, anxious for him to continue.

“But if that was all she needed, why didn’t it work when you kissed mommy?”, Vali asks.

Loki takes a deep breath, they already knew that he was a Loki from a different timeline and this situation was just a painful reminder that he was not their true father. “Well, as you both know I am not from this time so technically speaking I am not the version of Loki that your mother met all those years ago.”

Loki takes a moment and looks down at his hands that he has been obsessively picking at since he started his explanation. He doesn’t notice you lean forward and place your hand over his stopping his nervous habit. He looks up at you and smiles, your reassuring gaze giving him the strength to continue. “Your Aunt Sylvie…she is also from a different time and she has a device that gives her the ability to travel to any time in the multiverse. So your Uncle Thor and I traveled through time and convinced my younger self to come to our present time and wake your mother.”

“So the younger version of you I saw..that was our real…”, Narfi stops himself before he finishes. Feeling the small cracks forming on Loki’s heart before he was even able to complete his line of questioning. Not wanting his dad to feel sad he removes himself from your side and throws his arms around Loki’s neck, giving him a strong hug. He removes his little arms from around Loki’s neck and places has hands on his face, “you are ours. You belong here.”

Loki closes his eyes and absorbs his sons words, “thank you Narfi.” He places Narfi on his knee and continues.

“Well I believe you all know the rest, the past version of the Loki from this time was able to wake your mother and as soon as she was awake he was sent back to his time.” 

“Who was the lady that was with him?”, Narfi asks.

“That was your grandmother, Queen Frigga.”, Loki responds sadly.

“Oh..”, Narfi responds, again feeling a twinge of sadness in Loki’s heart.

“Well, it’s all over now. I’m awake and everyone is exactly where they are supposed to be.”, you try to direct the conversation to something more positive.

Loki looks at you and smiles, “yes, we are all together. That’s all that matters.”

“What’s going to happen to the bad lady?”, Vali asks.

“Don’t you worry about that boys, your Aunt Val is going to make sure she never gets near your mother ever again.”, Thor responds.

“Good.”, Vali lets out a long yawn. 

You run your fingers through his hair, “tired baby?”. Vali nods and you look over to Narfi who is still in Loki’s arms and see that he is also starting to show signs of sleepiness. “I think I’m ready for bed too.”, you admit.

“Can we sleep in your bed with you and daddy mommy?”, Narfi asks.

You smile, “of course you can baby. Daddy might have to conjure a bigger bed for us though.”

“That sounds like a perfect way to end this ordeal. Thor, you will be staying in the guest room yes?”, Loki wanted to be perfectly clear that his brother was welcome to stay. In fact it was Loki’s preference that he did.

Thor again looks slightly unsure, “if you’re sure I am not intruding…”

Loki rolls his eyes and doesn’t bother to respond. He stands with an almost asleep Narfi in his arms, “come on boys, lets brush our teeth and get to bed.”

He places Narfi down when he sees he’s a little more awake to make it to his bathroom without passing out on the way, Vali following close behind. Loki looks to you and picks you up from the couch, “I think I can walk you know.”, you say with a giggle.

“I’m sure you can darling.”. He doesn’t move to place you down, he never wanted to let you go ever again. He takes you to the bathroom where he gives you your privacy to get ready for bed as he conjures a bed big enough for the four of you. You look in the mirror and for the first time in weeks feel a sense of peace and safety. You knew that Maza was locked away and wouldn’t be able to hurt you or your family any longer. You finish brushing your teeth and by the time you exit your bathroom into your bedroom you see your boys already getting comfortable under the covers. Loki sees you exit the bathroom and immediately walks over to, he holds out his arm to keep you steady even though you aren’t feeling any weakness. You give him another sweet smile and crawl into bed next to Narfi while Loki lays down next to Vali, making sure the boys are between you both. It didn’t take long for the boys to fall asleep and you can feel your eyelids getting heavier and heavier but you didn’t want to stop looking at your boys. This whole scenario feels like a dream and you were terrified you would wake up and still be stuck in that limbo Maza trapped you in.

Loki sees you fighting your sleep, “darling, you are exhausted. You must rest.”

“I’m afraid to go to sleep. I’m afraid when I wake all of you will be gone.”, you admit sadly.

“My love, I promise you. This isn’t a dream, this isn’t an illusion. You’re home. Feel your sons sleeping next to you.”. He takes your hand that was laying on Narfi’s little chest and places it on his own cheek. “Feel me. We’re here. You’re here. This is real.”

You nod, knowing that he is right but can’t help the fear creeping in your heart. Suddenly you feel that very fear start to slowly dissipate and the blooming feeling of love and happiness takes its place. You look down and see Narfi’s little hand on your wrist, even in his sleep his magic reaches out to calm his mother’s troubled soul. And as if the lights went out you finally fall into a deep sleep with nothing but love and happiness in your heart.

To be continued..

Prompt #30: Amity

The darkness hung around him like a palpable thing, heavy as a thick cloak or a suit of armor. But this was a weight that threatened rather than protected. For long moments he simply lay there, staring up into the depths of that black, trying to let the warmth of Sui’s body and the sound of his breaths be enough to lull him back to sleep. The darkness was too thick. So at last he carefully shifted himself, easing away just enough to tuck the blankets tighter around Sui so that perhaps he wouldn’t notice when Silvaineaux sat up.

He leaned over, fingers scrabbling over the wood of the bedside table until they closed on the box of matches. He struck one by feel, then found the wick by the light of the resultant flame. He lit a candle, then shook the flame from the match.

A single candle wasn’t a strong light, though after the darkness it was enough to make him squint. He shifted himself so that he rested between the candle’s light and Sui, his own shadow to protect closed eyes from the blessing of that light. 

Weak light though it was, it helped. By that meager light he could see the foreign wood of the walls, the frame of windows sturdy, but never made with any thought of dragonfire. He could see that he was not in some half-ruined fort or some miserable stretch of stone wall. He was not even in his own familiar rooms in Ishgard, surrounded by the endless weight of stonework and tradition. Tonight he was in the Shroud and even if the amity with dragons faltered there would not be fangs or fire here.

It felt cowardly and oddly disloyal to find some small peace in that thought, and the part of him that could not find sleep again in the darkness was all too aware that dragons were not the only thing that need concern him. There were plenty of other enemies slinking in the darkness outside the window, things with which he had a weaker truce or no truce at all. That was not a peaceful thought, and he pushed it away. Instead he let his eyes settle on the friendly little flame of the candle. Perhaps it was less fear that made this foreign room peaceful and more that here he could leave the war and the weight of the things that came with it a little further behind him, just for tonight.

His eyes returned to Sui, and he watched one hand shift against the pillow. His own ring rested on that hand, sized down but familiar, bearing his own hawk sigil and the scars wearing it in war had left in the metal. Sometimes that seemed a cowardly and selfish choice too in its way, to give that ring and all the memories that came with it to Sui to carry. But the gold was not so heavy by itself, and when he looked at it on Sui’s hand he found hope in it rather than grief. 

He could believe that peace would hold if he looked at that ring where it was. If he could change the way he felt about that bit of metal entirely by giving it away, then perhaps… Perhaps he need not worry about fangs and fire tonight, here or anywhere else.

Schmicago OCs!!

credit to @manyfandomocs for inspiring me to finally get my shit together and to my favourite @seaweedhufflepuffocs for listening to me talk about them for months and months and months and putting up with me being annoying when schmicago stole my original mercy plot smh

1. Alyson Kelly in The Music And The Mirror – from the real world, got stuck in Schmicago as part of a deal with the narrator, shipped with Melissa & Josh

her main character inspirations are Cassie Ferguson (a chorus line) and Janet Weiss (rocky horror), as well as a lot of Pippin influence but not a specific character!

Something Real: Chapter 21: Final

Pairings: Loki X Reader

Warnings: Language & Smut

Summary: Maza’s fate is decided.

A/N: Thank you all for your patience. The final chapter is here! This certainly wont be the last I write for this little family, I’m currently thinking over some ideas for the next one. Thank you all so much for reading, it means the world to me 💚🖤

Masterlist

“Maza Issidottir. You stand accused of theft, impersonating a member of the royal guard, improper use of seider, stalking, kidnapping and attempted murder. How do you plea?”, Val’s booming voice carries across the large hall where most of New Asgard’s citizens watch on. You’re sitting with your family in the front waiting to hear what Maza’s plea is.

“I am no more guilty than the false Prince you have harbored in our new home.”, she sneers back at the King.

“No Prince of New Asgard is on trial presently. How do you plea to these charges.”, Val responds strongly.

Maza rolls her eyes, “not guilty.”

“Truly woman? You wish to drag this out?”, Val asks her. She has no interest on dragging these unnecessary proceedings out any longer than they already have. 

Maza just smiles in response.

Val lets out a deep exhale, “fine. Have it your way then. Your trial will begin in two days time. Until then todays proceedings are adjourned.”. With her final word, everyone stands as Maza is being led out in chains to await her trail in the dungeons. 

Loki can’t help but feel anger towards the entire situation. If he had it his way Maza would be nothing but a bad memory. But, he has no choice but to…behave. You squeeze his hand that has been in yours since you arrived at the hall, “hey, it’s going to be ok. She won’t get away with this.”

Loki smiles down at you, “I know darling, I just won’t feel at ease until this matter is completely settled.”

Thor leans over, “have faith in your King and people brother, we will not let her get away with the things she has done.”

As you are talking, Val walks over to the three of you but only addresses you, “I’m sorry. I know you were wanting closure today.”

You smile at her, “it’s alright. We knew she wasn’t going to go down without a fight. I’m not worried.”

Val smiles back at you, “good. This will all be over soon, there is plenty of evidence against her to find her guilty.”

“And what is the punishment when they do?”, Loki asks, wanting to be sure Maza’s punishment fit the crimes.

“Not the punishment I’m sure you are hoping for I imagine.”, Val responds.

“She’s too dangerous to leave alive, you know this. You have seen what she is capable of.”, Loki argues his point.

“This isn’t the Asgard of old Loki. Things are different here, we have to learn to compromise with the humans that live here. They are not very fond of the death penalty.”, Val argues back.

“Oh please. The people of Midgard have proven time and time again that violence and death are more than acceptable options for them to remove a threat.”

“Not in New Asgard. We will speak no more of this until the trial begins.”. Val looks over to you, “I’m sorry but we will have to call you to speak against her.”

“I’m willing to do whatever I have to to be sure Maza is as far away from my family as possible.”, you say confidently back to her.

Val nods and gives you a small smile, she gives a curt nod to Loki and Thor and goes to speak to members of the council.

“Bureaucratic bullshit.”, Loki says under his breath. You squeeze his hand again and he looks down at you. You give him a sweet smile, “why don’t we go home and relax for a bit before we go pick up the boys from school. You know they love their Friday nights with you.”

Loki smiles and gives you a quick kiss, “sounds wonderful darling.”

Thor claps his brother on the back and gives you a quick peck on the cheek, “I will leave you to your afternoon. I will be back for the trial.”

Before he walks away you stop him, “wait! Where are you gonna be til Monday?!”. Thor has been staying in the house with the family since you were brought home from the hospital and to be honest as much as you loved Thor you were looking forward to some alone time with Loki. 

He smiles back at you, “I uh… I contacted Jane. She…hasn’t been well.”

You smile falters slightly, “oh. Well, I hope she’s alright. Tell her I said hello.”

Thor smiles back, “I will. Farewell, I will see you soon. Brother…behave.”

Loki rolls his eyes, “oaf.”. He looks down at you again with a smile, “ready to go home?”. You smile brightly at him, “yup.”

To be honest…you were really looking forward to getting him home. Loki has been overly gentle with you the last few weeks. Nightmares kept you up for most nights after you were brought back and Loki was doing everything that he could to make sure you felt safe and happy. But he was treating you like you were made of glass and you were sick of it. You haven’t had a nightmare for a few nights now and you were feeling a lot more energized and quite frankly..horny.

Loki opens a portal to the house and as soon as the door closes behind him you jump on him.

You give him a kiss that he simply cannot pull himself away from. The passion and love you were pouring into it made his heart skip a beat. His cock also had a very distinct reaction to it as well. You break the kiss and look him dead in the eye, “take your clothes off. No. Magic.”.

Loki’s eyebrows raise at your forwardness but all of his thought process was being redirected from his big brain to his little brain and all he can do is dumbly follow your instructions. He clumsily kicks off his shoes and frantically starts to unbutton his pants. You put your hand over his shaking ones that are currently ripping off every article of clothing he had on. “Come here.”, you take one of his hands and walk him over to the couch where you have a seat and he is positioned standing in front of you.

You finish unzipping his pants and drag them down while he continues to remove his tie. He gave up on unbuttoning his shirt as soon as he started and just ripped the rest of it open. The buttons falling to the floor making you giggle at his discombobulation. Now completely naked and impossibly hard, Loki stands proudly in front of you waiting for your next move. You look up at him, “I never got a chance to thank you properly for saving me.”, you kiss the top of his thighs. “For being my hero”, you lick the deep v that leads to his deliciously thick cock. You can hear his breath speed up as you continue, “for loving me the way you do”, you kiss the tip of his cock that is already leaking his essence. You can’t help but start licking him to taste, slowly starting to suck on him the way you know he loves.

“Fuuckkk..darling…you don’t have…fuckkk…thank…me…Gods…don’t stop.”, you’re  making him feel so good. He has been so careful around you, not wanting to push you into anything you weren’t ready for. Plus your lack of sleep made you fall asleep on the couch while helping the boys with homework most nights. But right now in this moment, you seemed to be full of energy. Loki takes his hand and places it on the back of your head and starts to massage it, making you moan which sent a shock of pleasure through his entire body. “Oh…y/n..I’m close…wait…wait..”. You remove your mouth from his with a pop and next thing you know your back is pushed against the back of the couch and Loki drops down to his knees in front of you and rips off your pants and underwear. He takes your legs and throws them over his shoulders and starts eating you out like it was the only thing keeping him alive in that moment.

“Ohhh..yes…Loki…just like that…”, you moan. Feeling overheated you rip off the rest of your clothing and when you look down at him he is staring at you so intensely. He reaches up and squeezes one of your breasts and then he moans into your pussy just like you did when his cock was in your mouth. Just as you feel the beginning of your orgasm Loki takes his unoccupied hand and slowly puts two of his fingers inside of you. Pumping them slowly and deeply, the combination of his hand on your breast, his tongue on your pussy and his fingers inside of you brings you to one of most intense orgasms of your life. You scream out his name and before you are even fully able to come down from your orgasm Loki picks you up and places you on your hands and knees back on the couch. He runs his hands down your back and ass, he reaches in front of you and starts to rub on your sensitive bud. “Are you ready for me darling? Are you ready for you God’s cock?”

“Yes! Fuck Loki..please..please…”, at the last please Loki slowly pushes his cock inside of you until he is completely encompassed by your warm pussy. 

“Mmm…it’s been too long my love. I have missed being this way with you. Deep inside your hot cunt. The perfect fit for me…yes..yes you are…as if the Norns made you for me and me alone..”, his pace is slow and deep but soon he is pushing you face down and pounds into you. You can feel yourself pulse around him, orgasm number two quick approaching.

“Loki..baby..I’m gonna cum..please don’t stop.”, God you loved this feeling. You never wanted it to end but the feeling in your pussy and the way you feel Loki’s cock twitch inside of you, you knew this love session was quickly coming to an end. 

“Cum on my cock darling, I’m close…your pussy feels like a dream.”, Loki’s voice once again triggers your orgasm and as you feel your own pleasure start to dissipate you feel Loki’s reach its height.

“Fuck..Norns…AHH!”, Loki cums deep in your pussy and doesn’t stop thrusting until you feel his cock stop throbbing. “Oh my love, are you alright?”. Loki removes himself from you and picks you up so you’re sitting comfortably in his lap. All you can do is smile and nod while you wrap your arms around his neck. You give him sweet kisses under his ear and his chin, “I’m better than alright. I’m gonna be honest I wasn’t expecting that when I started seducing you.”

“Hehehe..yes well…I have missed you.”, he admits.

You give him a quick peck on the lips, “I missed you too. Come on lets get cleaned up, the kids will be expecting us at the school soon.”. Loki gives you a smile and a quick nod, he stands with you in his arms and even though he cleaned up the mess from your activities he knew you loved showering with him after sex.

By the time you are both done in the shower it was time to go and pick up the boys from school. As always Loki creates a portal directly to there and you can hear the bell ring as soon as you arrive. When Narfi and Vali see you and Loki they immediately take off in a sprint towards the both of you. Narfi throws himself in your arms and Vali jumps into Loki’s awaiting ones. You smile at them both, “how was school guys?”

“Good!”, Narfi responds happily.

“Boring.”, Vali responds dryly.

Loki looks down at his son in his arms, “boring? My son, learning new things is one of the most exciting adventures in this life. How could you possibly be bored?”

“I like my magic classes but why do I need to learn about things that happened hundreds of years ago?”

“Learning from our past is how we create a better future. I know it may seem boring but I promise you, one day you will be grateful for the lessons you learn now. You will be informed enough to not make the same mistakes as the people who came before you.”, Loki explains to Vali. You listen to him talk to Vali so sweetly and for a moment you feel angry with yourself for almost losing him. You can’t help but feel guilty for having more faith in him, had you, maybe Maza wouldn’t have been able to cause as much damage.

Loki creates a portal to their home and gets the boys settled in the living room to start their homework while you cooked. You can’t help but smile when you hear Loki and the boys discussing their work and other things. You’re so thankful that all of this mess is over, all that’s left is the trial and it will truly be over. 

“Dinner is done guys!”, you yell out to them so they can come eat.

“Smells delicious darling.”, Loki walks over to you and takes the plates in your hands to set the table.

“Thank you honey. Boys, help your dad set the table.”, you smile when you see them use their magic to do so.

Everyone sits down to eat but Narfi couldn’t help himself, “is the bad lady gone now?”

Loki glances at you and you decide that maybe you should be the one to explain whats currently going on with Maza.

“Well, not yet baby. She has to go through a trial first and once that is done the council will decide what to do with her.”, you explain.

“Oh..but..what if she gets out before they decide?”, he asks sheepishly.

“She is under heavy guard and strong binding spells so she will not be able to escape my son. I don’t want you to worry.”, Loki tries to calm his worry.

“Did you cast the binding spells dad?”, Vali asks.

Loki nods, “I did. That’s how I know they are strong enough to hold her and keep her from causing any more damage. I promise you both, Maza will get nowhere near any of you.”

The boys leave it at that, confident in their fathers abilities and trust in his words.

After everyone is done eating you send the boys to bed and you start getting ready for bed yourself. You’re brushing your teeth when Loki quietly sneaks in behind you and wraps his arms around your midsection. He starts kissing your neck and shoulder sending chills up and down your spine. “I love you so much.”, he whispers in your ear. You smile, finish brushing your teeth and once you’re done you turn around still in his arms and wrap your arms around his neck. 

“Oh yea?”, you say with a smile.

“Oh most certainly.”, he smiles and looks at you for a moment. “Are you alright darling? Truly? I know this Maza situation is making you anxious.”

You nod, “I’m ok. I am anxious about the trial, I just want this to be over.”

He rubs his hands up and down your back comfortingly, “I know my heart, it will all be over soon.”

“When it is maybe we can go away with the boys. Have a little vacation while they are on Summer break.”, you suggest.

“That sounds wonderful darling, anywhere you wish to go. But for now let us get to bed, I can feel your weariness.”, he ushers you into the bedroom and gets you tucked in under the covers. He follows you in bed and immediately pulls you into his arms, you fall asleep just as quickly with a happy smile on your face.

After a wonderful weekend with the boys, the morning of the first day of trial arrives. You quietly get dressed and help the boys get ready for school. Loki knows the reason for your quietness this morning, not wanting to push you he just quietly helped you get the boys ready for school. When they all arrive at the school Narfi turns to you before he walks off with his brother, “I know you’re nervous mommy. But everything is going to be ok.”

Your eyes tear up a little and you kneel down to give him a big hug, “come here Vali”, you call out to him wanting a big hug from the both of them. “I love you both so much. Have a great day, we’ll see you soon.”, they give Loki a big hug as well and run off into the school. Loki takes your hand in his and gives it a squeeze, “he’s right you know. Everything is going to be fine.”, you give him a kiss on the cheek and start moving in the direction of the great hall.

When they arrive, Thor, Val and Sylvie are already there.

“Brother.”, Loki greets Thor, “thank you for being here. How is Lady Jane?”

Thor takes a deep breath, “I will discuss Jane’s present condition later. Let us talk of what will be happening today.”

Loki nods, “very well.” 

He looks over to Val, “so…My King…when are these proceedings going to begin?”

“As soon as the council arrives, Maza is being collected presently.”. She then looks over to you, “are you ready?”

You nod, “yea..I just want this to be over.”

She smiles, “I know.”. The hall starts to get louder with murmuring voices as the people of New Asgard who could attend took their seats. The council arrives and sits down in their seats, awaiting the arrival of Maza. Val looks at you again, “go ahead and have a seat, we will begin shortly.”.

You take your seats, Loki and Thor sitting on either side of you. Maza arrives in chains shortly after you take your seats. She’s taken to the opposite side of the hall as far away from you as possible. Val raises her hands to quiet the crowd, “alright everyone, please take your seats we will begin the trial of Maza Issidottir.”. Everyone does as they were told and quietly takes their seats awaiting the next words from their King.

“Maza Issidottir, please step forward.”, the guards gives Maza a not so friendly shove toward the steps that lead to Val’s royal seat. “Once again your charges are as follows, theft, impersonating a member of the royal guard, improper use of seider, stalking, kidnapping and attempted murder. You plead not guilty, is that still your plea?”

“It is.”, she says with confidence.

“Very well. The council calls y/n y/l/n.”

You look over to Loki who gives you a confident smile and gives you a light kiss, “you got this.”

You give him a nod. Standing from your seat you give a quick glance to Thor who is smiling at you. You walk up to the seats set up in the very front, facing Val and the council, you kneel before them and then take your seat.

“Lady y/n, please tell us your account of the events that occurred between you and the accused.”, Val’s voice carries through the room.

You take a deep breath and you recount everything that had happened, starting at the very beginning. You told them of how Maza was your server at the restaurant Loki took you to, the story she told her at the hospital, the kidnapping. Once you got to the part when Maza buries you alive you had to take a pause.

“Lady y/n? Are you well?”, once of the council members ask you in concern.

You take another deep breath, “yes, I apologize.”. You tell them about your rescue and you move on to the apple. You describe to everyone the agony you were in being stuck in limbo, hearing most things around you but not able to wake.

 Once you finish, Val stood to address you and the rest of the room.“Thank you Lady y/n.”. You nod and turn around to sit in your seat in between Loki and Thor. When you sit down, Loki reaches over and takes your hand in his. You look up in his eyes and can’t help but smile at him, his presence filling you with much needed calm. You look back to Val who continues with the proceedings now that you are back in your seat. 

“Maza Issidottir, you will now have the opportunity to defend yourself against the allegations against you.”. 

Maza moves to the seat you just occupied in front of Val and New Asgards council. “Thank you My King and council for the…opportunity…to defend myself.”

“Do you deny the allegations against you?”, an elder councilman asked her.

“Deny? No. I am quite proud of the things I have done for the one I love, he will see. When the day comes he no longer has her by his side. He will realize his feelings for me and this farce will all be a distant memory.”

“Then why plead not guilty? Why drag this out?”, Val asked. Clearly irritated with the gigantic waste of time.

“Hm.”, Maza turns to look at Loki, “I will wait for you my love. Forever.”

Loki sneers at her, “you disgust me.”.

She smiles sweetly back at him and turns back around to look at Val, “do what you wish. I will return when all of you are nothing but stories the people of Asgard tell their great grandchildren about. I will return to claim what is mine.”.

“Guards, remove the prisoner. The council and I will now discuss your punishment.”, Val orders.

The guards force Maza to her feet and remove her from the room, the council stand as well and begin to convene with their king. The people of New Asgard begin talking among themselves, discussing the awful things that happened to you. You can hear some of them wishing for a swift death, some just wanting Maza to be locked away in the deepest dungeons in existence. 

It didn’t take long for the council to come to their decision on Maza’s fate. Val waits until the council reclaims their seats to address the room, “guards, bring in the prisoner.”.

Once again you hear the sound of the chains as Maza is brought back into the room. The guards bring her back to her seat but she does not sit.

“Maza Issidottir, after deliberation between myself and our high council we find you guilty of all you are accused. The council has decided that you will spend the remainder of your days in the Raft. A highly guarded prison in the middle of the sea, where you can no longer torment a single soul for as long as you live. However long or short that may be.”. As soon as Val finishes announcing Maza’s sentence the doors of the hall open and in walks additional guards, a mixture of guards from New Asgard and the infamous prison. The guards sent from the Raft placed additional bindings on Maza and moved to remove her from the room. As she walks past you she gives you a dark look that sends a chill down your spine.

Loki places his hand on your lower back to help calm your beating heart.

The guards exit with their prisoner and everyone then turns their attention back to their king.

“This matter has come to a close, Lady Y/N, I am truly sorry for the harm that woman has caused you and your family. It is our hope that you all can move on and live here in New Asgard in peace.”, Val says to you from her high seat.

You nod, “thank you My King.”.

“Court today is adjourned, you may all get back to your business.”, Val announces to the room.

Everyone stands and leaves the great hall and you can’t help but feel the relief already. It was really over this time. 

Loki pulls you into a hug, “let’s go pick up the children. I want my family together.”. It was a little early to pick up the boys from school but you wanted to have your family together as well. You nod and then look over to Thor, “you too buddy.”. Thor smiles at you, “alright, I shall see you both at the house.”. You all make your way out of the hall and you a filled with instant relief when you feel the sun on your face. You were so thankful this whole ordeal is over and your family remained intact. Loki creates two portals, one for Thor that goes straight to the house and another that leads to the school. You and Loki step through the portal and walk into the school. You sign the boys out and when they’re brought to the office the look of confusion on both of their little faces was priceless.

“Momma?”, Narfi runs into your arms. “Everything ok?”, he asks you concerned. He feels so many emotions from you that he’s not entirely sure what was going on. 

You smile and kiss the top of his head, “everything is great baby. Daddy and I want us all together at home. Uncle Thor is already there waiting for us.”.

Loki picks up Vali and walks over to you and Narfi, using his free hand to brush Narfi’s hair back, “let’s go home, we have much to discuss.”. You pick Narfi up and the four of you walk just outside the office where Loki creates another portal to home. 

They walk inside the house and Thor is there sitting on the couch, when he sees his nephews he stands immediately and picks them both up in his strong arms. “This is good.”. Narfi must’ve felt a distinct pulse of sadness coming from his uncle. “Uncle Thor? Why are you sad?”. You look to Thor in confusion, you feel guilty that you were so consumed with todays events that you didn’t notice there was something wrong with him.

“Let’s go sit in the kitchen, I’ll make us some lunch and we can talk about everything.”, you suggest. Thor doesn’t let the boys down, he carries them into the kitchen like they were the most precious things he didn’t want to let go of. You look over to Loki and you share a concerned look, his only response is a slight shrug of his shoulders.

You both make your way to the kitchen, Thor has placed Narfi and Vali down in their chairs and then takes his own seat. Loki sits down next to his brother and watches you get their lunch together. You quickly put some sandwiches together and place them on the table in front of everyone, taking your own seat. “Alright boys so first things first, they took the bad lady far away from here, we don’t have to worry about her anymore.”

Narfi and Vali both smile, happy to hear the woman that has been terrorizing their family is finally gone. Narfi can feel the truth in his mothers words and feels the happiness coursing through her. But he can’t help but feel Thor’s sad emotions.

“Uncle Thor?”, Narfi gets Thor’s attention, “are you ok?”.

Thor smiles at his nephew and pats the boys back, “I am alright Narfi, I am afraid my friend Lady Jane is not.”

You look over to Thor with a furrowed brow, “what’s going on Thor?”

Thor takes a deep breath, “Jane is…ill. A mortal illness she calls…cancer?”

You feel a pang of sadness, “oh Thor I’m so sorry. Is there anything we can do?”

“She tells me her doctors are doing everything that they can but she does not seem optimistic.”, he explains.

“Why does she not come here? Have our healers assess her condition.”, Loki suggests.

Thor smiles, “I have suggested this as well but she feels there is nothing else that can be done. I fear she has given up..”, Thor’s smile now turning into a sad frown.

You stand up from the table and wrap Thor up in a hug from behind him. You wrap your arms around his neck and give him a kiss on the cheek, “get her here Thor. Let us look at her. You know we have advanced tech and medicine here thanks to Wakanda. If you’d like I can speak with her.”

Thor smiles at you as you make your way back to your seat, “that is very kind of you, thank you sister.”

“We’ll call her in the morning and get her here.”, you smile at Thor and then turn to the rest of your family. “I think we proved that this family is capable of anything.”.

Loki smiles at you, “Indeed my love.”, he leans over and gives you a quick kiss. “Let’s eat and we shall discuss plans for our future..together.”

You smile at Loki and then the rest of your family, so thankful that you are all together again.

The end..for now.

Prompt #5: Barbarous

Under a cut for sideways mentions of BDSM.

Sometimes I wonder if the way I love you is barbarous. 

I have no talent for poetry or courtly words of love. I cannot paint you with either a brush or the words of my sore heart. The way you shine is something I can appreciate only for myself. I cannot offer any memory of it to the world when I am gone. 

Someone asked me once if I had ever given you flowers. I do not believe I have ever thought to. I have given you jewelry: silver, gold, stone. But nothing as soft as flowers. Instead I come to you with only my hard hands and my vicious heart to lay at your feet. And I hope it is enough to make you give all of yourself into my keeping.

And then when somehow I find you have given me your love I only ask more. Love is not enough. I want you to trust me. I want you to give your freedom into my care and let me bind you so that you cannot escape me. I want to offer you a gift of things that have scarred you and ask that you let me use it to write myself on you. I want to drink in your cries, lose myself in the sounds of your pain and your pleasure.

I want both to belong to me. 

Sometimes I think I want mine to be the only hands that ever touch you. But even to think so is a savage thing and I well know it. So I say instead that I want my hands to be the only ones that ever hurt you. Because though I hurt you, I would never harm you. I may leave the lines of my passion in red welts and savage bites on all your soft skin, but I will not bleed you. I will not take you past what you tell me you can endure.

Mine is not a gentle heart any more than I am a tender lover. And yet somehow, time and again you give yourself to me. Perhaps it is barbarous to let you. I cannot do otherwise. As long as you give yourself to me I will accept that gift with both my hands and all my heart. With all the ferocity of my hunger. 

I cannot bring you poems and paintings to lay at your feet. I cannot bring you the softness I sometimes think you deserve. But if ever it is needed then I will also lay my life there at your feet and only consider it well spent.

Post Malone - Austin Let's be frank -- there's not much to say about Post Malone's new album, Austin (named for, well, his birth name). That's not to say this album is bad, or that there isn't anything to say at all, but at its core, Austin is a very straightforward pop record. What's interesting, however, is watching and listening to Post Malone's progression throughout his career. He started off as a "rapper" in the mid-2010s with 2016 debut Stoney, and really continued that trend with 2018's Beerbongs & Bentleys, but by 2019's Hollywood's Bleeding, he incorporated more alternative and rock sounds to his overall sound. Twelve Carat Toothache from last year really amplified that, being more of a diverse-sounding album, ultimately being a huge mess and not very interesting, but that's neither here nor there. Post Malone has always been obvious for his love of rock and metal music, but he didn't incorporate those influences into his sound, at least until now, so it's interesting to hear some of that. This isn't a rock album, by any means, but there is a lot of acoustic guitar that's featured on Austin, for better or worse. I've got mixed feelings on Austin, and that's really where my thoughts lie, because this album is 52 minutes with seventeen songs, and it does not need to be that long. This album has way more filler than it has any right to have, and I noticed listening through it again at the time of writing this that the first half of the album is quite strong, ultimately featuring some of his best hooks, but the second half is generic, middling, and uninteresting, minus a few highlights. If you like the lead singles, such as "Chemical" and "Mourning," you'll like a majority of this record, which is breezy and summery 80s-influenced pop with folk-pop undertones, but it's more so a case of when it works, it really works, and when it doesn't, it's really boring and uninspired. If this album were around 11 or 12 songs, and only about 35 to 40 minutes, this would be a fantastic record. Nothing special, per se, but a fun record, nonetheless. As it stands, though, Austin is way too bloated and full of a lot of filler. I wish I liked this more as a whole than I did, and the songs that are good are truly good, but Post Malone needs to learn about editing and scaling back. This album features the problem of having too many songs, let alone not enough to justify its length. I don't usually like really long albums and it's for this reason. You almost have to edit the album, per se, to make your own tracklisting of your favorite songs. That's what I did, and the album is only 36 minutes, which makes for a much shorter and better listen, because you cut through the fat and get to the best parts of it. When the album is on fire, it's truly good. The hooks are very enjoyable, the melodies are sticky, and Post Malone's voice sounds fantastic, but a lot of it is very boring, generic, and uninteresting, because it all sounds lesser versions of stuff already on the record. It's a very different sounding album for him, however, and I have to give him credit for that. Fans might be split on this one, especially if you prefer his first two albums, but if you want a more relaxed and blatantly pop-influenced Post Malone, you'll have a good time with this, just sift through the filler and focus on the best songs.
