a lyric on your tongue (Astarion x Tav)

Summary: They weren't a fan of pet names so why had they given him one...

READ ON AO3

Astarion mindlessly twirled the curly end of their braid between his fingers as they rested at the side of the lake.

Fighting Ethel had taken more out of the group than expected. Who knew some bloody mushrooms were keeping the damnable hag alive? It'd taken them far too long to realize it until one of the lobbed fireballs finally took out a cluster in one instance. They soon make short work of her and made their way out of the cellar.

As they left the tavern, Gan started heading out of the city, Astarion following behind. The two of them reached the lake and he sat back on the shoreline while they stripped and dove in. Astarion took the time alone to clean up their gear while he waited. They finally began making their way back before the sun was fully set, he met them with a cloth and open arms.

"Thanks Plum," Gan remarked as they briefly snuggled in his arms before drying off.

Their gear back on, the two of them sat down, propping their backs against the small boulder just off the water. He tightened his hold on them as the two of them sat there watching what remained of the sun set over the water.

"I thought you didn't like pet names," he commented, interrupting the quiet as he tapped his fingers lightly on the back of their hand. They waited for him to clarify his sudden remark.

"You started calling me Plum ever since…" Astarion paused, letting the sentence stop. He was unwilling to give things more weight just then. It was pressure neither of them needed. Sure he called them darling or beautiful but he said that to everyone. Well almost everyone, Lae'zel and Minthara were only going to be Lae'zel and Minthara since he valued his pretty little head remaining on his shoulders.

He'd even taken to calling them Darling One because well…that's what they were to him. The one who'd pushed him to face uncomfortable truths and uncover revelations about himself. Astarion had been forced to do a lot of shitty things under Cazador's compulsion. Unattended for the first time in years, he thought he'd have no choice but to do those things with them in order to stay safe and be protected. They'd done their part of his plan as far as he was concerned. Skilled with daggers, dangerous from the shadows, observed far more than they spoke initially, Gan made him feel safe, if not a little uneasy about those skills possibly turning upon him.

He was even able to hold up his part after they knew what he really was that fateful night. It would have been nothing for them to slip a dagger into his heart before the rest of camp had even heard them scuffle. A personal attack vampire, they'd pondered aloud before agreeing to lie back on the mat and let him feed. Astarion should have known though when the instincts wore off and there was no more fantasy to be played; when he'd found a sliver of wanting buried deep beneath the layers of disgust and pain that something was different. Something he hadn't quite wrapped his mind around but he was willing, just like them, to see where the journey took them both.

His thoughts drifted back to the elf snuggled warmly against his side. They'd never uttered a darling or whispered a sweet in his direction. They'd only ever called him his name or Vamp when they were in a playful mood. So he certainly wasn't expecting to hear it when they asked what gear he needed as they perused a trader's stock. And he was sure he was hearing things when they told the barkeeper to get my Plum whatever he wanted. And when it was just the two of them, nestled against that tree just outside camp in Rivington, when they looked up into his eyes and said Plum we'll make sure he pays, he was confused. Astarion would have asked at that moment but before he could his attention was diverted elsewhere. Distracted by the warm hands cradling his cheeks and the softest kiss pressed to his lips. If his heart was still beating, he was sure it would have been racing in his chest.

So as the two of them sat there, huddled on a lake shore together, watching a setting sun, he asked. He asked and he waited for a response. Waited patiently first then impatiently while they sat there quietly, never stirring at his question. He was about to open his mouth, a quip ready on his tongue when he finally heard them speak up.

"Because…"

They hadn't continued just yet and he was ready to just say forget it, he told himself to practice some restraint for once.

"The first time I bit into a red plum…" A satisfied hum coming from them, as if they were reliving the moment right then, they finally carried on. "It became one of my favorite fruits."

Gan continued to look out over the water and left the sentence at that. Astarion shuffled slightly, "....come now don't leave me hanging."

Rolling their eyes as they turned to face him, "Really???"

He grinned and batted his eyelashes, finally conceding as they let out an exasperated sigh.

"Simply put, you've become one of my favorites."

He beamed proudly, sticking his chest out a little. He'd been called many things over the centuries but he'd never been anyone's favorite anything.

"I may need to reconsider my decision making," Gan teased as they grabbed him by the chin and shook his head side to side.

Astarion freed himself from their grasp, pretending to be hurt, "Oh darling one! You wound me!"

Gan playfully elbowed him in the ribs before settling back against his side. He wrapped his arm around them as they watched what remained of the sunset. It was all new. Terrifying and unknown and new. A tadpole in his brain, walking in the sun after over 200 years, figuring out there may be a way to become a living vampire, so many mysteries in so little time.

Astarion wasn't sure how this whole ordeal would turn out but he'd grown sure about one thing. There wasn't anyone else he'd rather face the approaching storm with than them.

[celticbotanart]

Been feeling under the weather these past few days (hence why I'm a bit inactive here, as per usual); so let's go for another music post~

I've recently finished the season 1 of "Constellation", highly recommend it if you are into scifi, space/astronauts and time-alternative dimension-fuckery. The show is pretty awesome, and Noomi Rapace, who plays the protagonist is also a favorite of mine (and she's killing in this role as always <3).

I won't elaborate a lot, due to personal reasons but also bc spoilers, but the finale really made an impression on me and I've been thinking a lot about it. It also reminded me a lot of a couple of songs I know with these themes of "lost in space (metaphorically and literally)", longing, loss/grief and so on, and I want to share them with y'all~

1- "Moonhearts in Space" by Tina Guo ft Serj Tankian

You were undressed With your lies, I confess But I don't want to know 'Cause we're going to space Children, let's pretend We can see everything But we can't I can make the pain go away No, you can't

For context, Tina Guo is the original cello soloist in the soundtrack of the game "Journey", which is majorly cello all over it, as the "voice" of the main character. And also yes, that Serj Tankian (vocalist of System of a Down), haha. An unlikely pair that really pays off in this collab - Tina has a very intense and emotional playing style, and Serj really goes hard with sensitive, beautiful vocals as he does <3 I love how the lyrics are "all over the place", like someone's thoughts going from one thing to another really fast~

2- "Toki no Kioku" ("Memory of Time") by Yoko Kanno

Far away, long ago Wandering lost, so alone Passing eyes, parting sighs Some pains come through Where time flows, no one knows Pulsing dreams, barely seen In skies, thoughts of love go by

This is the ending theme of an anime / 6 episode OVA called "Please, Save My Earth" - the main plot is kind of inspired by the tale of Princess Kaguya (moon beings experiencing humanity). The story of "Please Save My Earth" tells about these teens who start to have dreams from their previous lives, where all of them worked together in a space station at the moon, trying to find a way of helping Earth and humanity, longing for it. It's a very strange anime, ngl, but I found it so captivating, from the detailed 90s anime style to the mysterious, introspective narrative. The music is by Yoko Kanno (most known for her work on Cowboy Bebop's OST), and "Toki no Kioku" really reflects the somber and melancholic tone of the story. I'm linking the version with the ending credits because I think the beautiful animation adds so much to the music's experience!

3- "The First Corpse on the Moon", by Lethe

Lethe is a project featuring Tor-Helge Skei and Anna Murphy (former Eluveitie, current Cellar Darling). No lyrics here because they are nowhere to find online, and I can understand only some bits of it (I have a hard time picking up English in singing). It's enough though, cause the title is pretty self-explanatory. Out all of these songs, it's probably the song that makes me think of "Constellation" the most (if you know, you know). I've always loved Anna Murphy's vocals and how she goes for darker, more introspective themes too, and this song is no exception

#music posts #constellation 2024 #constellation #not including David Bowie stuff like Space Oddity bc those are pretty iconic and well known already #and I like to share more low profile stuff so people can know more bands and such!

👾 for Aurelle and T’nali

Thank you! <3 For Aurelle, you can find her full playlist here, and more posts about the songs on it here, here, here, here and here.

All the Works of Nature which Adorn the World: The Green - Nightwish

(spotify / youtube)

Choosing one of her instrumental ones this time, so no lyrics to quote. But it’s a gorgeous, foresty piece that makes me think of Aurelle’s beginnings in the Black Shroud. It starts off really serene and magical but then builds to something quite powerful that could be a suggestion of her own story and abilities starting to take off and grow beyond her.

The next couple of tracks on her playlist are instrumental as well, representing Earth, Air and Water respectively (as well as other specific facets of her journey - her more spiritual awakening as a White Mage and Warrior of Light and then the drama and intrigue of the post ARR patch plotlines coming to a head), and I find that wee collection of elements particularly satisfying for this character who started out as a Conjurer.

And for T’nali, you can find her full playlist here and another post about the songs on it here.

Challenge - Cellar Darling

(spotify / youtube)

Challenge me to the death With my feet stuck to the ground How can we cherish our inner demons Without shouting it, letting it, fighting it out Challenge me 'til the early dawn With my hands tied at the back I know I'll bring you down To your knees at last Crying mercy, mercy, have mercy

A very joyful and brash celebration of T’nali’s love of a good fight. And I’m sure none of the lyrics are pointedly directed at the current Nunh of her tribe, who killed her father in his own fight challenging him for leadership of the tribe.

Send me a 👾 and I’ll give you a random song off of an OC playlist with an explanation!

The Spell - Cellar Darling

I’ve been listening to this album nonstop for like two months straight and it gives off such Imogen vibes. There’s some really nice coincidences in the lyrics but also it’s in a genre that I feel like Imogen would listen to. If you’re looking for something you haven’t heard before, especially if you want to listen to it through the lense of a character (aka Imogen) I’d highly recommend giving this album a shot.

(It’s progressive metal, in a similar vein as Nightwish or Evanescence for example)

#critical role #imogen temult #imogen would definitely be a metal fan and no one can convince me otherwise #especially this kind of progressive metal that combines folk and classical music into it #I think Death and The Spell are my favorite songs off this album #the spell #cellar darling #the spell cellar darling #does it count as a character playlist if it’s just one entire album? #campaign 3 #critical role meta #critical role campaign 3 #bells hells

Cellar Darling - "Challenge" [Official Lyric Video]

#youtube

[nauranor]

closed starter for ; @dominaris ( atlas )

"with plumes of smoke doth draconic wings beat, carrying their children far above the heat. to flee a scene of scorched earth torn asunder, to greener pastures filled to the heavens with bountiful plunder." fingers strummed idly on the lute as lyric hummed along, brows coming together for a brief moment before they diligently scribble away at a piece of parchment. he'd been a touch too absorbed with the writing that they'd barely noticed the swinging open of a door. oh, someone's back. "there you are, was starting to think that the whole situation with my darling homeland'd fallen through and they came brandishing weapons and...all that malarky. so! how was it? nibble on some pretty necks while you were away?"

news had travelled quick, but not quick enough; blissfully unaware of what had happened to the queen of nyxen, lyric wasted no time in pouring atlas a glass of the most decadent and full bodied red they could find in the cellar. "here, wet your whistle. you look parched."

#heavens ward ; lyric. #interaction ; atlas.

5 Songs - J’hatano Kayj

Ho boy, here we go, the hard stuff. Sticking to the unspoken rule of one song per artist per album restricts the heck out of what I’d like to do here, BUT ONWARD. 

While most of my aesthetic for J’hatano is more instrumental along the lines of Erutan or European folk like Faun or Heilung, I sure got some songs about feels among other things so buckle up, it’s gonna be sad. This is definitely not a coherent playlist since every song listed is a wildly different genre sorry about that.

In no particular order.

1. Cellar Darling - Hang

Off to a dark start! This one I assign to J’hatano’s outlook during and after her imprisonment, with the overall theme that even at the moment of greatest despair, there is a constructive path and a road to recovery (maybe). Most of the lyrics are apt but this passage in particular sticks out to me.

And once I tied and formed a sling I saw a bird that had a broken wing The bird was tired, could barely sing Is this pain all that my life can bring? And all it took was a piece of string Around a stick to mend the broken wing Through the forest now its voice could ring Bow for this tree now has a brand new king

2. Blind Guardian - Carry the Blessed Home

A victorious melody underpinned by the words of personal loss and disbelief is a good fit for J’hatano’s experience with her first and last up close battle as detailed in the reply to this ask, being left to only dwell upon disgust and shame while the world seemed to celebrate.

Driven insane? No What I feared the most I have faced and that's truth The grey faced is not innocent Though I cry in dismay I will follow decay I'll move on Is there anyone here Who knows How it feels to be wrong?

3. Murder By Death - Good Morning, Magpie

The Love Song(tm). J’hatano knows very well that her life has shaped her into a person that is difficult to get to know and slow to earn real trust from, let alone love and support in the usual framework of a relationship. It’s a weight she knows not just anyone can carry.

My wings are dusted With frost and cold For a little thing like you I'm too heavy a load You'll struggle and falter Amble around Just follow some other storm Cause I'll only weigh you down You carry me home My love Still you carry me home Little dove

4. VNV Nation - Illusion

I think everyone who has heard this song has applied it to something painful in their life, or just a dark time, that they wish someone had been around to say these words to them. Same applies to J’hatano.

I know it's hard to tell how mixed up you feel Hoping what you need is behind every door Each time you get hurt, I don't want you to change Because everyone has hopes, you're human after all The feeling sometimes, wishing you were someone else Feeling as though you never belong This feeling is not sadness, this feeling is not joy I truly understand. Please, don't cry now Please don't go, I want you to stay I'm begging you please, please don't leave here I don't want you to hate; For all the hurt that you feel The world is just illusion, trying to change you

5. Spiritbox - Circle With Me

J’hatano does not have many good feelings left about Ala Mhigo. It is a place full of bitter memories she had to leave behind while most of her people find it a place to return to and have hope in their future. Anyway I assigned this song to be about that, for her. Suitably heavy and moody.

Negative feedback loop I'm spinning out of control The sickly sweetness is crushing me But I wanna know If there's no heat when I escalate, the fire is cold They echo, "This could all be yours"

Feel the weight of a martyr It could all be yours if you echo birds of prey Traitor cut down the altar It could all be yours Vultures circling the flame

Whew! That was A Time!

Thanks for the tag @grandcompany​ !
