Reunited (and it feels so good)

After being away on a - rather exciting - press tour for Oppenheimer, Cillian comes home and surprises his wife with flowers. Champagne by the fireplace follows (because having him home is a cause for celebration) before the two find themselves wrapped up in each other under the covers.

Silent Treatment

This moodboard goes to @cillmequick and her 300 Followers Milestone! I know you're not hosting a celebration dear Alex, but i didn't participate in the 100 Followers one and i thought of redeeming myself with this silly little gift 😁

It depicts my favourite chapter (so far!) from your amazing story The Lockdown Sessions (the muffin-gate episode and it's consequences 😂)

Just listened to: Elton John - “The Lockdown Sessions”

[Calling this album The Lockdown Sessions is a bit misleading as it implies a much greater degree of organization than is actually present here.  This is, in essence, a collection of singles and guest appearances Elton has made recently.  His involvement ranges all over the place: some full duets, some where he’s just singing the hook and some where you would not know he was present unless you were told.]

Track listing:

“Cold Heart [PNAU Remix]” featuring Dua Lipa

“Always Love You” featuring Young Thug and Nicki Minaj

“Learn To Fly” featuring Surfaces

“After All” featuring Charlie Puth

“Chosen Family” featuring Rina Sawayama

“The Pink Phantom” featuring Gorillaz and 6Lack

“It’s A Sin” featuring Years & Years (originally performed by Pet Shop Boys)

“Nothing Else Matters” featuring Miley Cyrus, WATT, Yo-Yo Ma, Robert Trujillo and Chad Smith (originally performed by Metallica)

You would not understand

This is not how I am

The Lockdown Sessions

Moodboard inspired by the multi-chaptered fic by @cillmequick

———

This idea came to me out of nowhere and I decided to run with it. I hope you like it, Alex. 😊 I looked back at the chapters’ titles and decided to choose symbols that represented a mix of some of my personal favs and some of the important ones. Thank you for sharing this lovely story with us - it truly reads like a movie in the sense that I can visualize everything that’s happening as I’m reading it. 💕

#glass animals #honestly i wore out dreamland sm my brain took a lonnng break from expecting anything from them?? idk i’m just huh???? #like….. when i say wore out #i cannot describe how much i listened to it #i usually have some vague idea even if it’s a ridiculous number #like 52 times in a month for an album or something (has happened) #i cannot recall w this #gonna say bc 2020 & they were Literally the last band i saw live. next morning everyone found out about everything annd lockdown. no joke #so it was big dreamland time when it dropped and revisiting their past albums when i broke out of its spell lmao #(pretty sure before that like january was when i listened to déjà vu 100+ times in a row tho so oop. it was a tough day lol) #anyway seeing this aww man. i really have had this band with me for a long long time. 🥹 i remember hearing gooey on the radio one night #driving home from work late @ night in 2014. the drive was so short i couldn’t be arsed to fish out my ipod & plug it in #sometimes so just popped on a good station i had preset. started the car and heard this *voice* and i was like who???? #had to check the station bc it was an alt station and i thought i had it on another one which was fine i was just v confused #it was in the middle of the song & i was immediately anxious to know the name hoping i’d hear it & it wouldn't just flow into the next song #then the dj would pile the names together after x number of songs played bc i was tiired (but woulda stayed in the car ngl). got lucky & #ran inside to find it then yelled at my roommate the next day that she HAD to listen to it during a smoke session after work #(i was right & it blew her miiind) #god. what a fucking time. what a fucking band. idk what the disc horse is surrounding them now since they blew up via tiktok #i’m sure people are v quick to say they’re overrated bc of that but idk & i’m glad i don’t know. they’ll always be this #highly inventive incredible band i stumbled upon for the perfect night drive home after a long long shift #a band that came back from a Horrible accident that should have ended 1 of their lives & somehow didn’t & should have ended them #as a band (like still cannot believe Joe was drumming in 2020 & i saw it with my own eyes like how tf???!?) #a band deserving of all of its successes. glass animals forever

i have a horrible feeling i'm going to have to watch gaming videos as research for my creative writing, and i don't quite know how i'm going to stand the boredom

#my story i'm writing for uni is set during lockdown and the main character is a 12 year old boy #and i might be wrong but i sort of feel like the main way he'd be keeping in touch with his friends while all the schools were closed would #be via virtual gaming sessions #which means I'M going to have to try to find out what games were popular with 12 year old boys in 2020 and how they worked in order to #write the scenes where he actually hangs out with his friends which could. get very boring #i guess i can ask my little brother and my younger cousins for help. and maybe also my old housemate from 2020 who was autistic and #just happened to have minecraft as one of her special interests (she used to make me watch minecraft videos and i would make her watch #destiel videos. it was an interesting friendship)

Folklore: The Long Pond Studio Sessions (2020)

This is perhaps the most Pandemic Lockdown of all concert videos. Am I a pretentious indie-head who only deigned to listen to this in 2020 because I was losing my mind and knew about the involvment of various Dessners from The National in the record, and because Sufjan Stevens’ The Ascension was still months away? Yes. Did I drink an entire bottle of rosé while listening to it and grudgingly admit to myself that I liked it? Yes. And what better way to capture that tenuous moment of transition midway through lockdown than with this moment: some performers are together in an isolated location, others “Skype in” as it were. It’s minimalist in all regards. The camerawork isn’t terribly interesting, but I suppose there are only so many ways you can shoot a studio. Early tracks are stripped to the bone in a way almost pushing beyond simplicity, though the overall performance of the album does gain a greater degree of textural variety and interest as it goes along. It’s a fine document of a fine album and a bit of a snapshot of a time we’d probably all rather forget on some level or other.

What’s more interesting to me is how I felt ever more like some sort of anthropologist while watching the film. Co-producer Jack Antonoff reads as the coolest middle schooler in his wardrobe and try-hard attitude, though by midway through I just wanted to bully him or something. Aaron Dessner, meanwhile, was introverted and the picture of impeccable musicianship—every once in a while the camera seems to gasp at him effortlessly and efficiently ripping out fingerstyle riffs while Antonoff frantically strums away on the other side of the room. The fireside chats were a thing of beauty even just in terms of watching where the wine bottle wandered and whose glass had a different level than in an earlier snippet. It’s a little goofy and weird, everyone extremely complimentary, but at the end of it all, the musical synergy is there. If nothing else, there are subtle casts to Swift’s gaze which indicate just how personal this is, even beyond lyrical jabs. If she’s got a bit of a mask on in interviews it slips away some in performance. Unless this is just another intentional layer. Let’s over-analyze the piece.

THE RULES

PICK ONE

Select either LOCKDOWN, PANDEMIC, or QUARANTINE and sip whenever that is mentioned.

SIP

A track begins.

The camera seems shocked at Dessner's musicianship.

Every time someone at the fireside chat takes a drink.

Jack, a 'bit' has to be funny for it to be a 'bit'.
