Got tagged by @dying-suffering-french-stalkers to post five (5) songs I like :)
Melodies of Life from Final Fantasy IX - surprisingly not because I finally finished the game (FFIX is in backlog hell) but because the lyrics fit beautifully into my Final Fantasy XV headcanon/one day to be written fic maybe hopefully?
Who's Afraid of Little Old Me by Taylor Swift - my big obsession from the new album at least partially because uhm, this too fit way too good into the FFXV story in my head, oops
Valse di Fantastica by God Yoko Shimomura - speaking of FFXV :) I love this song and I am very excited that yesterday Distant Worlds announced they are premiering a new score of it at the Berlin concert I am going to in May!! (Last time I went to Distant Worlds they did a kinda shitty and very short performance of my beloved Apocalypsis Noctis as the FFXV rep which was incredibly disappointing so I am very glad about this redemption arc)
No Promises to Keep from Final Fantasy VII Rebirth by Nobuo Uematsu the other God and Loren Allred - This post is apparently brought to you by my Final Fantasy brainrot but at least this one isn't about XV I guess :) This song is so pretty omg. And from this one I actually do have the full emotional damage from having finished the game!
Away (Phoenix theme from Final Fantasy XVI) by Masayoshi Soken - I was gonna put some not Final Fantasy song here but this post is already derailed, might as well stick with the theme. I am once again asking Square Enix to release this ost on Spotify. Also yes, this has English lyrics which literally nobody realised until the offical lyrics were released. This song is so good I actually spend money on the FFXVI dlc for Theatrhytm.
Honorable mentions: Toward Mt. Nibel (FF7 Rebirth) like the entire fucking soundtrack for this game is insane (put it on streaming Square) but this is the opening credits while running through a very beutiful valley towards the mountain and it is such a beautiful epic start to the game! Also I am once again asking y'all to listen to Songs from Final Fantasy XV by Florence and the Machine.
Tagging: @mister-e-muss @randomlygeneratedusername2 @elfje-8 @humongousfurybeard and who-ever else thinks this is fun just say I tagged you :)

ADELEINE BACKSTORY GO!!!!!!!!! 🗣️🗣️🗣️
Ok so-
Adeleine had… a life back on Shiver Star. She was dumped at a research facility when she was only two years old because her parents wanted cash. She was raised there by scientists and engineers who were just trying to find a way to get humanity off the planet- mostly via replicating the warp portal technology their ancestors used to get there in the first place. Most of the kids who ended up there were used in such tests, or for experimental rockets that uh… didn’t get too far.
Adeleine was lucky though. She, clutching her big blue paint brush, proved she was wayyy too valuable to be used for stuff like that. She could just… paint things that came to life. Nobody understood why or how, but she definitely was doing that. So instead, they were trying to figure out how she could do that and if it could be a way for them to get off of the planet.
But then it started to get too cold… and Adeleine was one of the few people still left that was contractually signed to be used for experimental technology. So this poor little seven year old was given her art things, stuffed up in a tiny shuttle, and sent off to what was assumed to be her demise.
… But it wasn’t. She woke up, days, possibly even weeks later on planet Pop Star. She was sitting around the rubble of the ship, since it seemed to have had a bad crash. She had a brutal gash on her arm, but she couldn’t feel it. She was too… confused. And it only got more confusing when three very not normal figures showed up.
Drawcia, Paintra, and Vividria had been going around the planet looking for things to do art studies of, when they heard a massive crash and immediately went to go investigate. They ended up finding spilled art supplies and metal that might be good for mixed medium stuff and were like “awesome!” until Drawcia went to pick up a canvas, and had it pulled away by a small, scared little girl in heavy winter clothes.
They put two and two together pretty quickly and realized that the girl had been in whatever crashed and blew up there, and then Vividria pointed out how badly injured she looked. So the three of them managed to coax her into coming with them back to where they lived, in a very reclusive, far away part of the planet. Adeleine had nowhere else to go, so they helped her with her things and brought her there to tend to her wounds and hopefully find out what she was and where she came from.
After getting fixed up, Adeleine explained everything she could. Where she came from, who and what she was, and what she remembered of getting to this new place. She also offhandedly mentioned the painting things and having them become real thing like it was totally normal, but to the sisters it is just normal so they happily accepted both that fact and Adeleine. She basically became their fourth sister, although she was more like a niece to Drawcia and Paintra, who she often just called her aunts, and a cousin to Vividria.
She was raised by them, going out and around, getting better at her art and able to control her paintings and when they should and shouldn’t come to life, and eventually allowed to explore by herself when she was 12. That’s when she ended up in Cloudy Park, and fairly shortly after that, down in Quiet Forest, where she was then assimilated into Kirby’s found family friend group.
So yeah, uh, I actually really like this one finally. Adeleine does remember what Shiver Star was like (and is horribly scared of snow now) and is basically related to the other painters! She still definitely visits them. She also tries to invite them to gatherings, but only Vividria goes since she’s one of the Star Allies anyway. Also Adeleine was absolutely overjoyed to see her there and completely forgot about Ribbon’s existence for a few minutes and totally ignored her.
And Drawcia was okay after the whole Canvas Curse thing. She never told Adeleine about it because she didn’t want her to start hating Kirby.

Treading Water - Chapter 6 - Sleep
“So…” Ace starts to say, unsure how to exactly start broaching his current predicament with Nick, “I’ve been having some weird encounters recently – the supernatural kind.”
Nick raises an eyebrow. “How did you stumble across this one?”
“I didn’t, it found me.”
