Isabel Luna ✤ We Built This City 

Frankly, the entire goddamn country should feel grateful that Isabel Luna loves Alex Claremont-Diaz as much as she does.  She wouldn’t be stepping back from her beloved — and well earned, no nepotism required — job as her older brother’s chief of staff to babysit just any First Child for the entire year leading up to Ellen’s reelection.  But it was Alex.  Alex, who she’d known for pretty much ever.  Alex, who she’d comforted through his first heartbreak.  Who she’d given his very first shot of tequila, who she’d mentored when they worked together on Raf’s campaign.  Alex, who was her brother just as much as Rafael.  And it was for Ellen — and maybe Isa wasn’t as close to her as she was to Oscar, but Ellen had always been an inspiration to her and she would do whatever it took to ensure that she beat Richards in the election.  Besides, she’d been babysitting Alex since he was a pubescent little shit, she was probably the most qualified person to wrangle him around for the next year.  Honestly, preventing another Cakegate level international incident should have been easy; if only Alex hadn’t decided to fall in love - and bed - with the Prince of Wales.

WIP WEDNESDAY

I was tagged by @greypetrel and @scribbledquillz! I have been working on chapter 2 of my Dragon Age 2 fic; chapter 2 is entirely from Jurian’s perspective. Here’s the first few paragraphs. Tags under the cut!

When Jurian awoke, he found himself in an unfamiliar place. He blinked his eyes open rapidly, rising and sitting up on his elbow; with his other hand he rubbed at his eyes, grumbling quietly to himself as he examined his surroundings. A bed of furs, dark drapery pulled over narrow windows, and a doorway through which a cold breeze drafted. He had fallen asleep in one of the aravels—no doubt one in which a scout lived, and was temporarily empty. With a groan and a sigh, he slipped out of his makeshift bed and quickly redressed himself for the morning.

He wished he had brought his armor with him; the studded leather and steel was heavy to carry, but it would protect him better from anything on the road compared to the tunic and breeches he had worn. He had flown from Kirkwall so suddenly, without thinking—an impulsive decision. As he thinks about his visit to the Hightown markets, he finds that his spine is stiff and his knuckles white from tension where he claws at his own trousers.

Trystan was just frustrated about the expedition, Jurian tells himself as he throws his cloak over his shoulders.

🎵It’s just another Sunday in a tired old street🎵

🎵Police have got the chokehold and we just lost the beat 🎵

When I was still on Twitter I’d share that song mostly every Sunday. I don’t know the reference in your Ask but I love sharing music so thank you! 😄

And I also want to share Blue Velvet. It’s been stuck in my head ever since this video:

Listening to We Built This City now out of spite.

Is it sophisticated or deep? No.

Do all the lyrics make sense? Not really.

But...

Does it make you want to sing and dance? Yeah.

Does it have a fanmade music video with singing cows drawn in MS Paint? Yeah baby!

Did we build this city on rock and roll? WE SURE DID.

I've decided to replace "We're Not Gonna Take It" with "We Built This City", just as a way to stay out of pro-IDF BS.

I think both songs are alike in power. New poll can be found here.

Sorry, Bill

So in the midst of trying to write a paper on a fuckboy rake from Shakespeare's worst (?) play, this week I have had We Built This City by Jefferson Airplane Jefferson Starship Starship stuck in my head. And it pains me to say this, but I don't think the song is very good?

With apologies to the friends who have caused the song to be stuck in my head: so, okay. Normally, I LOVE eighties pop - synths are one of my very favorite instruments to hear in music, and I would say that new wave is my favorite genre (aside from, possibly, song mashups).

But We Built This City is not much of a song. It's a refrain, a catchphrase. We Built This City! On What? On ROCK-N-ROLL! KACHOW!

Okay, maybe that's a little uncharitable. I'm making the song sound like an obnoxious hair metal band made it. It's not a hair metal song, it's a pop rock song. (A hair metal band could probably have made this song, though.)

What I like about it, at least, is the synth line between the chorus and verses. I like the sound of eighties pop. I LOVE it when it's done well, but I will like it just fine even when it is just meh.

But the lyrics... man. I'll start by saying that 'knee deep in the hoopla' is a phrase that's meaninglessly abstract, and the words in it sound bad to hear. And the chorus is annoyingly repetitive after a while - it's like the song ran out of things to say. It's trying to build a Jenga tower of song meaning out of one load-bearing titular lyric.

Most annoyingly... okay, something I'm gonna probably talk about more eventually is how I have developed a distaste for artworks that are about themselves too much (blame absolute hack director Noah Baumbach for this), and this applies to what music critic Todd In The Shadows described as "rock's favorite subject: itself!" Come on, bands. Love songs are popular because they're about a human emotion people want to feel, but to make songs about "yeah, we're rock musicians and we love rock, and rock is so important!"? Spare me. I already know that rock is awesome (or rather, good rock is awesome). Trying to convince me further just strikes me as self-congratulatory. Which is arrogant and annoying.

Anyway, I do not understand what the rest of the song means, either. (Wikipedia raises points about the hyper-polished, borderline corporate sound of the music, which I agree with in principle but haven't thought about myself much and won't cover here.) But I want to make clear - I want to like this song. I just don't think it's good.

Anyway, apologies to the Bard too for not having my paper done yet. Despite what the haters say, All's Well That Ends Well is not a completely terrible play even if it is hashtag-Problematic (in ways that have been real fascinating and fun to study in class). But why can't I seem to write that, yet I can develop all these thoughts on a mediocre eighties rock hit on a whim?

Brainpower is hard to dedicate on what I recognize as work. Anyway, time to write about how this play punishes Bertram for being a fuckboy.

"We Built This City"

Trystan Hawke has lost almost everything. His home, his safety, and even his younger brother. Now, a foreigner in a foreign land, it's up to him to restore honor to his family name and untangle the conspiracies running rampant through Kirkwall. Here, the past meets the present, and history is not as distant as one might think. Jurian Amell is a maleficar's apprentice. He sleeps well enough at night, but his pacifist nature makes it difficult to balance the will of his mentor with his desire to unravel the secrets of his life within the black stone of Kirkwall. His reputation may precede him, but his legends don't protect him from the threat of the Templars looming against his neck like a boot.

i have posted the first chapter of my first da2 fic! woowoo!

We Built This City Warm Up Sketch

I was listening to music on YouTube and We Built This City was one of the songs that auto-played. I of course, decided to sketch out a city made up of giant speakers. I am going to assume that the occupants of this city are either deaf or wearing headphones and eat plugs 24/7 !
