neck-deep in Ethersea again as I relisten to it, but not entirely sure how long the fixation is going to last, which means I have a long list of fic ideas that greatly interest me but I'm not prepared to commit to (including but not limited to):

character/relationship study for Finneas Cawl and the Boyar Hermine, because holy shit those two

something that might be an Amnesty AU but also might just be a mundane modern human!AU, which is just newly-escaped-from-the-local-cult Devo annoying the shit out of Amber as he repeatedly sticks his foot in his god damn mouth

the weirdest possible roleswap au where Benevolence = Devo, Cambria = Zoox and Coda = Amber, because I think Amber deserves to possess a big fuckin battleship, Zoox is basically already a primordial god as it is, and Devo would be a terrifying deity. the hand of benevolence, recently departed from the church of devotion, is known to his friends as benny. i wish i knew what to do with this beyond broad strokes

fic that's just zoox mindmelding with weirder and weirder things as devo and amber become increasingly less concerned about it. i mean this is basically just canon but you get what i mean. zoox trying to befriend the biggest baby.

devo's post-canon cross-timeline acid trip reality heist to find amber in the shark dimension. i can't remember the exact details of the final arc so this one's very vague.

actually there are no post-canon fixit fics at all (which is a crime), and i don't think i'm the one to write one either. but i have the perfect mental image of devo finally managing to somehow rip a hole through to the shark dimension only to walk in on amber and kodeira getting deeply sensual and quite frankly nasty. he is very relieved to find they're all right, but did NOT need to see this. maybe he'll come back later.

#taz ethersea #my writing #i think the vestiges are mega-cool actually and i wish i knew what to do with them #something something Benevolence being the vestige who walked away and shared magic with the mortals vs Devo walking away from the church #i also keep thinking about how the Hands of the church have VERY vestige-like names. like. HM. #also re: amber=coda. biggest baby in this universe is made out of vestigal amber. literal amber. #the biggest difference here is that vestige!amber is totally pumped about the BB's name. she thinks it rules. she's ready to fuck up sharks #she also probably has a hell of a dynamic with Kodeira

Relistening to the auction arc and there’s a bit where they mention Devo being afraid of the dark and with the context I have now I just-

i’m so confused in regards to what apply after waxing, like men use aftershave why shouldn’t we? and the alchol I know it sanitizes so it make sense, but internet says the perfume in it is bad? @__@ they should teach skincare in school is what I’m saying

cosmetics are hell and half of the industry is a scam, I just want to know how to avoid all the shit my skin does after waxing

#sono indignata dal casino per capire 1 UNA cosa #ma no #devo vivere usando cose a cazzo sulla pelle perchè l'industria cosmetica è 'na merda totale #negative #and hmmm #probably someone has their relatives teach them but not everyone is so lucky #moss text

Been having a lot of anxiety to share the getterxmegamanzx crossover idea I’m cooking up due to a load of factors-that I won’t get into unless someone asks-but one thing that I’m trying to remind myself is “of all the things I could’ve crossed over getter with that isn’t a mecha, this is better than if it was something mainstream”

Because if I was more obsessed with mainstream media I absolutely could crossover this over with undertale/deltarune and everyone would fucking kill me especially because I would find a way to make it scarily work

#meg text #don’t even say this jokingly as I *do* like those games #they just aren’t on my mind 24/7 bc I’m waiting until DR is done to really obsess over it since I’m not gonna follow down the theory hole #Toby will deliver with whatever he does but I know with theory crafting people are setting themselves up for disappointment #Anyways Ryoma would TOTALLY do the geno route and for a dr case I can see him having a Kris ordeal #where the outer force instead of the player is the getter rays and is tied to his soul and doesn’t give him a choice #(See when I said this would work 💀) #will say fun gang has getter team energy but Kris would be more align to getter 2 and Susie is absolutely getter 1 (she has a axe ffs) #but Ryoma would need to be the player soooooooo #y’all are lucky this idea will never be a fic but I could absolutely draw art for this #Also I love how this feeds into my agenda of “I think getter is a meta” even if that argument mostly held up by new #Oh and devo but- I already said I could care less for spin offs even if people are too harsh on that one

Hello good sir!!! Before you head to melbs on Thursday are you by chance remaining in Sydney, in any place where I could endeavour to get an autograph? I was overseas until yesterday and am absolutely devo that I missed last night's performance. If not I totally understand; I personally would never show my face in public if it meant being recognised at every street corner <3

I'm almost in Melbourne, I'm afraid.

Hi, I was wondering if you know what music John was a fan of in the late 70’s? I’m aware of him being excited about the B52’s, and I’m assuming he liked David Bowie and Elton John’s music in part because they were his friends in addition to obviously being talented. And I think I read once that Julian turned him onto Queen but tbh that may be me misremembering a fanfic lol I just wonder if there’s anything out there that describes what John’s music tastes was in those days or whether he preferred to stick with his favorite classics; early rock and roll, girl groups ect. Like what did he think about the punk scene in NY?? Or the close harmonies a la Fleetwood Mac that dominated the charts? Just things I think about haha.

Hi, thanks for the question. I know that I skipped through a book called John Lennon: 1980 playlist by Tim English before, that may be a good source for you. Here's some random info, that I remembered where to look up. I think Julian introducing John to Queen comes from the SPIN magazine interview in '75:

[Julian] likes Barry White and he likes Gilbert O’ Sullivan. He likes Queen, though I haven’t heard them yet. He turns me on to music. I call him and he says, “Have you heard Queen?” and I say “No, what is it?” I’ve heard of them. I’ve seen the guy … the one who looks like Hitler playing a piano … Sparks? I’ve seen Sparks on American TV. So I call him and say, “Have you seen Sparks? Hitler on the piano?” and he says, “No. They are alright. But have you seen Queen?” and I say “What’s Queen?” and then he tells me. His age group is hipper to music … at 11 I was aware of music, but not too much.

But then there is also an anecdote, I think by Tony Barrow, that John didn't want to sign Queen to Apple years earlier? However that may be a lie, or John just didn't remember.

Yoko gifted John a jukebox for his birthday in '78 and apparently John filled it with the old music he liked. Elliott Mintz says there was quite some Bing Crosby. And I remember John also putting some new song by Dolly Parton in there.

"Yoko gave him this old-fashioned jukebox and John stocked it with Bing Crosby records. People kind of expected him to have rock 'n' roll records in there, but it was almost totally Crosby stuff. There were 3 songs which John played over and over. I still remember them. They were Crosby with a jazz quartet from the 50's, I think. He would banter and talk in the songs and John thought that was just the end. The songs were Whispering, I'm Gonna Sit Right Down and Write Myself a Letter and Dream a Little Dream of Me. Yeah, those were the songs, I can still see John listening to them." - Elliott Mintz

“The one modern song I remember him listening to was ‘The Tide Is High’ by Blondie, which he played constantly. When I hear that song, I see my father, unshaven, his hair pulled back into a ponytail, dancing to and fro in a worn-out pair of denim shorts, with me at his feet, trying my best to coordinate tiny limbs.” - Sean Lennon

One night we were playing at Max's (Kansas City) in New York City, and I was waiting for everyone to leave the club so I could go back in and pick up my gear. We were sitting in the van waiting and John Lennon and Ian Hunter from Mott the Hoople came staggering out and looked over. John Lennon saw it was me and stuck his head in the window. He was kind of drunk and stuck his face right against mine and went 'yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah' because he recognized it (Devo's song Uncontrollable Urge) as being an updating of She Loves You. That was one of my most exciting moments ever. - Mark Mothersbaugh on John coming to a DEVO gig in '77

PB: John, what is your opinion of the newer waves? Lennon: I love all this punky stuff. It's pure. I'm not, however, crazy about the people that destroy themselves. Playboy interview, 1980

I like pop records. I like Olivia Newton-John singing "Magic" and Donna Summer whatever the hell she'll be singing. I like ELO singing "All over the World". I can dissect it and criticize it with any critic in the business...But without any thought I enjoy it! That's the kind of music I like to hear. - John

John Lennon raced into Yoko Ono’s home office in the mammoth old Dakota building with a copy of Donna Summer’s new single, “The Wanderer.” “Listen!” he shouted to us as he put the 45 on the record player. “She’s doing Elvis!” I didn’t know what he was talking about at first. The arrangement felt more like rock than the singer’s usual electro-disco approach, but the opening vocal sure sounded like Donna Summer to me. Midway through the song, however, her voice shifted into the playful, hiccuping style Elvis had used on so many of his early recordings. “See! See!” John shouted, pointing at the speakers. The record was John’s way of saying hello again after five years. [...] It was just weeks before his death in December of 1980, and his playing the Summer record was an endearing greeting -- and one that was typical of John. Of the hundreds of musicians I’ve met, John was among the most down-to-earth. Corn Flakes with John Lennon (And Other Tales From a Rock ‘n’ Roll Life) by Robert Hilburn

"I'm aware of ... Madness. "Don't do that. Do this." (As on the spoken word intro to "One Step Beyond".) I think that is the most original thing actually because it's so peculiar. ... Out of all that mob I think that was one of the most original sounds. Very good drumming, very good bass and all of that." Andy Peebles interview

And things I don't have quotes for right now: I remember Bob Gruen had given John some video compilation of punk bands, that John enjoyed watching. In one of the last interviews John said Hungry Heart by Bruce Springsteen was a great song. There are the albums John asked Fred Seaman to buy on his shopping lists. Some are printed in The John Lennon Letters (Though I'm not sure that means he liked them, but at least was interested in.) Lot's of Bob Dylan talk in the diaries and parodies. Many anecdotes about reggae bands. In the Double Fantasy studio recording John references quite some songs and artists, when he tells the musicians what they are aiming for in the songs.
