#to put her headphones in to go mosh out to her usual metal -- so many people will rag on you for liking that kind of music when you

tbh Zelda's "I think I just need to freak out for a little bit" line in Belles of the Baronies might be one of my favorite lines from her; peak "I'm not fine but it's fine" phrasing

#N posts stuff #I especially love it in its context which is that she's at a fancy party and getting wigged out by all the people and SPECIFICALLY #that she says 'this music is kind of stressing me out' about whatever run of the mill music they'd play at a party like that and so she goe #to put her headphones in to go mosh out to her usual metal -- so many people will rag on you for liking that kind of music when you #also have sensory issues 'oh if you can handle That noise i'm sure you can handle this [noisy situation] fine' WRONG #but i love that Zelda is allowed to put it as plainly as this and no one calls her out like it's some kind of contradiction #ESPECIALLY love that this line is Direct response to Sam asking if she wants to go out somewhere even quieter like the stables #and offers to have like Sending queued up so that they'll be able to get her right away if they need her -> not only not making a big deal #about her having to leave Immediately after they arrived but also being more than willing to Accommodate her in that wholly #they're so sweet and i love them. samzelda gang forever. anyway i think i want to make a shirt with some art of zelda on the front #and then that line on the back in some unintelligible metal band font i think it would be So dope if only i could get the energy to do it #dimension 20 #d20: seven maidens #d20lb

Okay so @musicfeedsmysoul12 got me thinking about metal shows and the hp/havenfall crossover and it’s eating my brain

Harry who has no idea about most music that isn’t magical (Petunia never was really into music much preferring to have her soaps on during the day and any music Sirius might have had was long since thrown out by his mother when he ran away) so other than a few off key renditions from Sirius and the one time the Weird Sisters played at Hogwarts he doesn’t have much to go on when he moves to Havenfall.

Something JD takes as a person challenge tbh showing him all of their music (much to Razi and Grace’s horror as Harry loves all of it) and when there’s a metal show in Indy they don’t hesitate to head out.

It’s just them and Teddy (Grace decided to hang back but promised to take Harry to a concert that was more her style) and JD looks right at home while Harry is in his usual “thrifted from my friends’ closets” style in an oversized sweater that is without a doubt Ron’s and a pair of ripped jeans that are definitely Ginny’s and Teddy has his hair grown longer than be usually keeps it so it’s a little past his shoulders and his usual bright blue mass of curls complete with his own ripped jeans and Jacket to match JD. And of course some specialty headphones that have little blue wolf ears to protect his ears.

Harry is having the time of his life in the middle of a crowd where no one knows who or what he is, screaming along to the songs and moshing. He doesn’t even flinch when someone compliments his “sick lightning makeup” feeling more alive than he has since he walked to his death at seventeen. Teddy is more often than not on JD’s shoulders because they’re taller (Harry is definitely pouting about it until JD offers to put him on their shoulders too) and they have gotten so many compliments throughout the night on their hair they are beaming. And if the color of their hair and eyes shifts during the show it’s really just a trick of the light they swear. JD is living the scene and the music as they normally do but what they love more is seeing the people they love sweaty and rumpled and bathed in the flashing lights of the show looking so happy and free. They kiss Harry in the middle of the pit both of them reeking of cheep beer and sweat and with Teddy groaning about them being gross as little finger tug gently at JD’s hair.

BUT this also has me thinking about how JD is also in a band in one (some? Idk. Going off of the wiki here and there’s not much info) of the routes and how they would definitely have little Teddy rocking out on stage with them whenever possible and has definitely dragged Harry out on stage with them a few times to kiss him for all the crowd to see. (Harry pretends to be annoyed by it but he is always grinning against JD’s mouth when it happens)

#the elf talks #harry potter #havenfall is for lovers #Metal shows are so much fun okay like I want to go to another one already #jd: what’s the point of beig stronger than a human if I can’t put my boyfriend and our kid on my shoulders in the pit? #jd probably has a half sibling somewhere that makes supernatural specific aids including headphones for werewolves right #they have a half sibling for everything #we all know I love a metal concert okay like this was going to speak to me
