#sweetest songs

[crabsnpersimmons]

This one goes out to all the slow burn enjoyers, the dense Y/Ns, and the soft robo jesters that suffer in silence!

Inspired by @bamsara's “Solar Lunacy” fic.

If you feel like reading my ramblings and want to experience more heartbreak for fictional jester blorbos, check under the cut where I detail all the planning behind the frames!

so i heard this song for the first time in a while and the opening lyrics immediately made me think of moon, so i was daydreaming some scenes and then i decided to thumbnail some ideas:

and it all went downhill from there as everything became a metaphor and a parallel to each other, which i will now go into detail on!

you thought the animatic itself was sad?

*writing muse laughs maniacally* IT'S ALL A METAPHOR

Frame 1. "turn down the lights" We start with a back view on Moon. The lights are out, the Moon is out, but we do not see his face. The music and the greyscale atmosphere are enough to establish the weight of the moment and the weight on Moon’s mind.

Frame 2. "turn down the bed" We cut to a shot of Moon's body, kneeling on the ground of the daycare, like a padded cell. Moon’s hands are twitching with the effects of the glitch, with purple sparks coming from his hands. We still do not see his face.

Frame 3. "turn down these voices inside my head" Cut to an extreme close up on the dark half of Moon’s face. Now we see his face, but only a portion of it. His left eye is wide open, red and glitching out. The voices in his head can refer to the glitch but also his repressed feelings. Or maybe it could be Sun's voice in their shared headspace.

Frame 4. "lay down with me" Y/N's hand enters the frame from the upper right corner, lowering down to meet Moon where he kneels on the ground. Only a corner of Moon's face appears on the bottom left corner of the frame, his starry nightcap beginning to cover his glitched left eye.

Frame 5. "tell me no lies" An full shot of Moon on the floor and Y/N standing in front of him with their hand stretched towards him. A light spills out from behind Y/N, creating a boundary between them.

Now we see more of Moon. It is only when Y/N enters the frame—enters his world—that Moon’s body is shown in its entirely. When Y/N is here, he is no longer fragmented. He is whole.

Frame 6. "just hold me close" pspspspsps Playfully, Moon extends his own hand, beckoning Y/N to come closer, to join him. His right hand crossed over his body as he uses the playful gesture to hide his true feelings—to put distance between him and Y/N. His hat continues to cover his glitching left eye. He doesn’t want to worry Y/N.

Frame 7. "don't patronize" In response, Y/N’s hand pats Moon on the head, returning his playfulness. Moon looks surprised by the action. Moon, notably, does not lower his hand—perhaps he has forgotten it or perhaps his invitation is still open.

Frames 8-9. "don't patronize me" Moon rotates his faceplate so Y/N��s hand is touching the side of his faceplate, a more intimate gesture than a head pat. However, his hat is in the way. At this angle, his starry nightcap fully covers his glitchy eye and the dark side of his face, hiding his defect and acting as a veil between him and Y/N. A self-imposed boundary. So close, yet thinly separated. It's better this way. It's safer this way.

The lyrics are broken up by Y/N's arm, both to illustrate how the song is sung ("patronize" is drawn out and "me" is briefly added in before the chorus starts) but also to show how Y/N interrupts Moon's resolve, highlighting the irony between the visuals and the lyrics. Demanding not to be patronized, yet Moon happily accepts this play at intimacy. Don't patronize me, I am weak for it.

This is also the only instance where the red light of Moon's eyes glow and tint the surfaces around it. Visually, it makes it look like Moon is blushing (heavily inspired by @restinsodaroni's art). But also, in this moment of honesty, Moon's intrinsic light spills out, colouring the greyscale world. In this brief moment of honesty, Moon touches the world with his own colours, his own light.

(and this is also where i forgot to clean up the shading on Y/N's arm, but it's okay it doesn't need to be perfect it simply needs to be. And Moon will still love Y/N even if they are a continuity error.)

Frame 10. "'cause I can't make you love me if you don't" A parallel to a frame 4, Y/N retrieves their hand away and immediately Moon is reduced to the corner of his faceplate in the frame. Only now his glitched eye is fully covered by his hat.

The lyrics here (and in the next frame) in particular grow lighter to emphasize Moon's diminishing resolve and agency.

From here on out, the lyrics here are broken up, carrying on this theme of fragmentation. Y/N is pulling away, Moon is breaking up, the words are breaking up. Everything is coming apart.

Frame 11. "you can't make your heart feel something it won't" Y/N turns to leave. The lyrics, broken up as before, highlight the irony of the situation. Y/N, a human, can’t feel something they simply don’t feel. Whereas, Moon, the machine, feels something his code never intended him to feel.

Frame 12. "here in the dark in these final hours" Another full shot that parallels frame 5, as Y/N steps towards the light and Moon leans forward into the space Y/N once occupied. Y/N is leaving—that which makes him whole is leaving. And he is only capable of making it to the boundary where the light cuts into the darkness. The "final hours" suggest it might be the end of Y/N’s shift, or perhaps this scene takes place right before the glitch takes over—the final hours that Y/N has with the true Moon. Either way, time is running out—and only Moon knows it.

There is a contrasting display of body language here. Moon is on the floor leaning towards Y/N with his hand still left out. Whereas Y/N is turned away, walking away, and has already slipped their hand away and into their pocket. Y/N is closed off while Moon is limply open. Y/N is actively moving while Moon is on the floor, waiting, hoping, for that which he lacks the agency to reach for himself.

Frame 13. "I will lay down my heart" A close up on Moon’s hand, rising up again, perhaps to beckon Y/N back once more. This is a slight parallel to Y/N's hand reaching out to Moon. While Y/N can freely reach out and touch Moon, Moon cannot. He can't enter the light and more importantly he can't risk potentially harming his relationship with Y/N—be it through the glitch or by his feelings. He can only lay down his heart—put aside his feelings or hope that someone will pick up his pieces and make him whole.

Frame 14. "and I'll feel the power" Still on a close up on Moon’s hand, now clenched in slightly. This initially was going to have the glitch effects. However, I felt it more meaningful for it to be left without. Leave it up for interpretation why Moon pauses his hand. What is the power that he alone feels and stays his hand?

Frame 15. "but you won't, no, you won't" A parallel to frame 1, a view of on Moon's back with his hand stretched out towards the light, and Y/N walking into the light spilling through the open daycare door.

The placement of the lyrics suggest two different “you won’t”—Y/N who won’t realize Moon’s feelings, and Moon who won’t dare speak them into reality.

Another note on the parallel to frame 1, this time we also see Y/N's back, but it is notably different from our view of Moon's back. With Moon, we literally see inside him through the hole for his loop. However, Y/N is shrouded in shadow, just a solid, obscure silhouette against the bright light of a world Moon—and Sun for that matter—are closed off from. We don’t see into Y/N, just as the Daycare Attendant doesn't have any vantage point of Y/N's life beyond their time at the PizzaPlex. (The unfortunate reality of a being a character made for the purpose of being a vessel for the reader.)

Frame 16. "'cause I can't make you love me" We finally cut to face Moon head-on, frozen in place with his hand stretched out, unable to cross the boundary into the light. His eyes have gone dark. Where we began by seeing bits and parts of Moon, and never seeing his full face—now we, the viewer, see the full Moon, open and vulnerable—unbeknownst to Y/N.

Frame 17. "if you don't" But in the dark, behind closed doors, there is no one to perceive him—no one to receive him. The light dwindles as the daycare doors are closed. Moon stays frozen where he kneels. It is no longer the glitch that plagues him, but a far deeper dread.

But a lone streak of light peaks through the gap in the daycare doors. Perhaps that is just enough. A silver lining. A frail hope. A single, ethereal thread out of darkness and into light.

Thanks for reading and watching!

We'll be back to our regularly scheduled fun and games shortly!

#fnaf moon #fnaf dca #dca fandom #so this idea had me by the throat ever since I heard this song again #I've never done an animatic before but I wanted to give it a shot #the opening lyrics already reminded me of moon right off the bat #but then i kept listening and started thumbnailing some frames #it was actually the frames with moon receiving the head pat and turning his faceplate that convinced me i had to do this lol #the sweetest images resulted in this work of angst #thank you if you read all this! #i promise to post something cute soon to balance things out #and no promises but i will say the second verse of the song is PERFECT for sun #“morning will come and I'll do what's right just give me 'till then to give up this fight” /lyrics #hahaha it hurts :') #crab art #traditional art #digital art #traditionally inked and digitally coloured #animatic

Just because I'm a huge fan of The Crane Wives, I'm gonna make Vega a fan of them too

It also fits with the fact that Sora's psychic motif is the crane ;)

#'ill be the sweetest thing to ever scare you' #is such a vega line #shes totally made covers of their songs in her electric violin #if this would be Vega's song #curses would be Enid's #hollow moon is Sora's #and tongues and teeth is Wednesday's #Youtube

🎶 you are the sweetest melody i never sung by soliloquent

5,6k words // pairing: bucky barnes & tony stark & steve rogers

—⎊—

“A soft tune cuts through his thoughts and seeps right in between the cracks of his broken mind. It sounds like a slow, gentle piano song, and it soothes his senses, numbs his tension, and lulls him to the smooth edge of sleep.”

or: Bucky struggles with insomnia, Tony plays the piano, and Steve just wants the two most important men in his life to get along.

Misha Collins autograph at Comic Con Liverpool storytime

Hi, you may remember me posting my photos of meeting Jensen and Misha this morning so here is my follow-up post about getting Misha's autograph like I promised. He was everything I hoped he would be. He was so sweet.

I went in to the booth to get this photo of Castiel signed and he was so sweet and welcoming to me. I gave him a very special gift I made for him- a song I had wrote for Jensen and Misha based on Dean and Castiel. I was inspired by the song You Are Not Alone that Jensen and Misha made up on the spot during a JIB 11 panel and I made it longer and added more lyrics to it. My dad recorded and sang it and then put it on a personalised CD for Jensen and Misha as a gift. I have two copies. I gave Misha his one today and he loved it, saying that he would show Jensen. He was really sweet about it and I got to have a lovely conversation with him. I asked him how he was loving Liverpool so far and he said he was enjoying it. He was so lovely and charming. He really is an angel 😉🥰

I'm getting an autograph with Jensen tomorrow so I'm going to give him his copy. I'm sure he's going to love it.

I'm really happy with how my autograph went and how lovely Misha was about the song. I am even considering making an album....

#misha collins #jensen ackles #supernatural #castiel #dean winchester #destiel #cockles #jenmish #misha is the sweetest man I have ever met #bless him #I am really happy with how the song turned out #hopefully he likes it #i just love that his first response was to tell jensen #that was so cute #just shows how close of friends they are #you are not alone #they'll probably get deja vu when they hear it #can't wait to give it to Jensen tomorrow #autograph signing #storytime #comic con liverpool

one of those things

Intro for ‘the sweetest con’

Pairing: Aaron Hotchner x fem!Reader

Word Count: 766

She was gone. For good, this time. Divorce finalized, and my apartment cold and empty. One of the worst parts is that the thing that hurts most isn’t that she left. The person I wanted to fill my space was someone entirely different, and I could never tell her. Haley thought something had happened between us, and no matter how much I tried to tell her it didn’t, she wouldn’t believe me. I guess people tend to deflect blame. Or maybe she wanted to pin that on me, too, considering I was at fault for everything else.

I never expected her to cheat. I never expected she’d think I would.

I’d never wished I had, but I did wish the one she had placed blame on was with me now. Maybe that was bad enough.

I walked into the office early on Monday morning, needing some time to myself that didn’t make me feel like I was suffocating in loneliness. I was by myself in my office, of course, but at least I was someplace familiar. Someplace where I could fill my mind with anything but all of my shortcomings. I sat at my desk for an hour, sipping on coffee and busying myself with reports that I didn’t technically have to work on. Then, the whole room lit up.

“Hey,” she smiled softly, taking a step inside. “I brought you something to eat.”

I watched her as she came in, holding a small paper bag and carrying a tray with two drinks. She never failed to amaze and utterly confuse me.

“What is all of this for?” I asked slowly.

She smiled again, setting it all down on my desk.

“I just want to make sure you’re taking care of yourself. Have you eaten?”

I swallowed, not wanting to answer but knowing she’d already seen right through me anyways. I glanced down at the coffee she set before me, reaching out to toy with the sleeve on the to-go cup.

“I haven’t.”

She hummed with my confirmation, taking a seat across from me. I watched as she quietly pulled out a bagel for herself and sandwich for me, setting it in front of me as if this was a usual routine. She didn’t bat an eye, falling into an easy rhythm. Maybe it could become routine. I certainly wouldn’t object.

“How was your morning so far?” she questioned, glancing at me with wide eyes. “You look tired.”

I snorted a laugh at her bluntness, shaking my head. I finished chewing the bite I had taken, then answered.

“Uneventful. I came here an hour ago and started on a few reports.”

She nodded. “Sounds nice. Why’d you get here so early?”

“Wanted to get some things done,” I said, reasoning that it wasn’t a total lie. Then, I looked at my watch. “We don’t officially start for another 45 minutes. Why are you here?”

She shrugged. “Would you believe me if I told you I knew you’d be here already?”

“I’d believe it,” I replied, unable to stop myself from smiling a little.

We ate in silence for a few moments longer, but a thought slipped into my mind that I couldn’t quite shake.

“Did you—“

She looked at me, waiting for me to finish a sentence I wasn’t sure I should finish. I sighed, giving in to her silent request.

“Did you come here just for this?” I finally asked, gesturing at the food she’d brought.

She fell quiet, giving a soft sigh. She took a chance look at me a few seconds later, almost looking guilty.

“Just… I wanted to make sure you had some company. And food.”

She didn’t continue on to spare me the pity, but all the things she didn’t say shone through anyways. She knew I was lonely. She knew the divorce was taking a toll on me. She knew I wouldn’t take care of myself if I wasn’t forced to. She knew, most of all, that I’d never admit to any of it.

“Thank you,” I said, looking at her and hoping she’d understand just how much I meant it.

“Anytime. If you ever need anything, even like, a high five—“

I laughed. “I’ll keep that in mind.”

She smiled, holding my gaze for what felt like an eternity. I couldn’t bring myself to look away. It felt like staring at the stars. Luckily, she looked away first.

She made easy conversation with me right up until the minute she had to wander to her desk, and I was convinced she took my heart with her when she left.
