Back here again to blow up the ask box:
Also forgot you wrote Nathan + Lawrence meeting again and that he's a waiter. fieribjndn (Oh well)
~~~~
Title: Nathan (Unplanned Meeting)
“I-ugh...YOU?” Nathan gasps his face contorting. “Oh, hi Nathaniel.” Lawrence hums overlooking his boy’s facial expression. “It’s Nathan…sir.” He kisses his teeth. 
“Oh, I know, but it is so fun to mess with you.” He teases gently eyeing Nathan’s nametag. “I never much liked metallic name tags, what about you?” He asks, brilliant blue eyes shining with dark amusement.
“Are you ready to order?” Nathan returns, ignoring his impulses. “No, but I’d love a soda…whatever you prefer.” Lawrence's lips purse into a sideways pout.
"The soda options are on the front of the menu." Nathan frowns looking down at the menu.
"I'm aware, but I was asking what you prefer?" He catches the younger man's eyes.
A shiver creeps up Nathan's back.
'I'll be back here at eleven tonight, he should be walking back home by then.' The older man thinks watching his son suppress a quick chill.
Lawrence turns back to his menu scanning the breakfast menu.
"Don't you like...black coffee?" Nathan questions hand flying up to smooth the curl of his hair back. A slight shake to it.
"Yes, I do, why don't you bring me some?" He requests huffing when his reading glasses fall down his nose.
With that to do, Nathan shuffles to the restaurant's kitchen.
His tight breaths coming shorter and shorter.
"You look rather potted mate, everything alright?" His co-worker asks softly. Shooting a quick glace to find Lawrence staring.
He warily frowns trepidation settling in the atmosphere.
"Nothing, just an anxiety attack." Nathan coughs moving through the constricting space.
“Do you want me to take the table?” Darcy pipes up tying her apron around her. “Enticing but no, it’ll be fine.” Nathan brushes her off. 
His co-worker from earlier grabs some blue drink bringing it to him.
"Here, take this and get back out there then." He sighs.
The alcohol stains his shirtfront leaving a light blue tint to it.
"I'm back." Nathan coughs awkwardly bringing him some black coffee in a mug.
"Thanks kiddo, now stick around there's someone you'd kick yourself for missing." The older man nods to the front door. Just as the bell chimes.
A man maybe around Nathan's height walks through the door. The tattoos, the piercing, and most of all the hairstyle...
Nathan throws a glace to Lawrence who's beaming. "See kiddo? I did listen to you before I took you home." He gestures for the heavily tatted man to come over.
"Ellington, meet my son. Nathan." Lawrence's eyes follow Ellington's every move. As if planning his next kidnapping.
"Can I call you Nate? I don't think I can remember Nathan...Truth be told I barely remember my names Ellington." He grumbles the last part playfully.
"Sure, umm, Elly is the nickname, right?" Nathan fiddles with the pencil suddenly feeling too intoxicated for this.
"Yeah, that works!" Ellington brings him closer into a side hug. One heavily tatted arm slung over Nathan's shoulders. Nate missing the quick snap of a picture is dazed.
"Lawrence has told me so much about you!" The other black-haired male cheerfully beams at the other man. Moving to sit down across from the blonde older man.
"Oh, he did?" Nathan's face heats and he throws a look at Lawrence.
"I did, I did." Lawrence laughs into a fake coughing fit. Reading glasses falling all the way off his face.
'Really selling it.' Nathan thinks biting back his reaction.
"Nathan, could you get us some water?" Lawrence clears his throat faking another small coughing fit.
"Sure dad, anything else?" He glances to Elly who is looking sympathetically at Lawrence.
Green eyes doe at the older man, concern written all over his face.
'It's a trap...' He realizes, and Ellington was playing right into it.
"Sorry Nate, he asked for water. I barely heard him myself so don't worry about it." Elly speaks up meeting Nate's eyes.
"Oh, shit sorry." He gasps walking off to the kitchen again.
'Green with Tawny in them. They match my brown eyes.' Nathan thinks as he pours two standard sized glasses.
Avoiding the other waiters and waitresses he practically glides over to the two men. Seated in Booth #9.
"Thank you." Ellington squeaks excitedly biting his bottom lip. The golden ring gliding against his two front teeth.
~~~
And that wraps up the Nathan-centric bit. :3
(Having trouble getting Charlotte waking Rex {in captivity in the attic} up! But eek! Idk she's hard to write sometimes praise to you for making her.)
Omg this was great, thank you!! Once again, you never fail to do them in character!!
And don't worry too much about Charlotte, even as the creator of her I sometimes stress if I'm doing her in character XD

So hey. I distracted myself from my suffering last week via new OC!BB for @seraphinitegames' Wayhaven games now that Book 3 is out. (Have I actually even made it thru book 1 with them yet? No, because I keep restarting and making more picrews as I tweak them in my head, instead.) Meet Ellington Ruskin, they/them.
When they were young & curious & annoyed that adults seemed to think they were adorable, (and that Ellie was an acceptable nickname, which it was not) they went by their full name, Ellington. (That did absolutely nothing to counter the adorable? It did successfully dissuade any lingering attempts at Ella or Ellie tho 🥰)

[carrotkake's / nyurei's / Wervty's Murmur]
They were Much Too Tired™️ (and living off cigarettes & hair dye) when they over-did college-type-nonsense and it was too hard to hold onto all those dumb syllables and dropped it down to just Ell:

[hunbloom's / Bright's Picrew Hell / djarn's]
(Ellington has a ridiculous collection of grandmother-reading-glasses/blue-light-blockers as they are slightly farsighted and also spend way too much time on assorted computer screens.)
They can be very appealing, not so much because they've figured out "charming" (tho they're better with people than any version of @angstmongertina's poor Lia) but because if they're interested they're completely focused, on the book, the technology, the news... or the person who has caught their eye. (Though they might very well just make you feel like they're daring you to try and keep being interesting?)

They are Very Smart & kinda too intense for small-town-life & maybe a little intimidating. Just a little!
(ok probably more than a little?)

Ell is not quite sure why that means everyone wants them to be in charge of things, but competency apparently cannot be denied? Ugh.
If they're gonna be forced into this job, they're going to do it well (and look good while doing it).

Sweetheart
I too wanted to talk about my hero ocs. Format heavily inspired by @insomniac-jay bcs I love way they organise the presentation of their ocs)
Real Name: Stella Ellington
Hero Name: Sweetheart
Media nicknames: “The loveley hero” “Empathy hero” 
Age: 35
Gender: Female (Cis, She/Her)
Ocupation: Hero, Therapist
Afiliation: HeroQuarters 
Description:
Tumblr media
[Edited picrew] ( pcw link: https://picrew.me/image_maker/296093)
Civ design notes: She tends to wear a lot of hot pinks on her civilian outfits, she dyes her hair for it to be the blonde hue it used to be when she was younger rather than the duller , darker tone it turned into as she grew up. She needs glasses for reading, but doesn’t need to use them 100% of the time.
Hero design notes: Rather than pink, her hero outfir is a soft baby blue with light yelllow undertones. She wears fingerless gloves in order to be able to use her enhancement properly. Her hair is tied in a hair bun. She usually avoids conflicts and since her power isn’t build for combat she has to rely on gadgets in those situations.The voice modifier makes her voice have a deeper, slightly more masculine pitch than her normal voice.
Personality: Stella has a bright and positive outlook on life, she’s a kind and loving individual who deeply cares about her peers and family as well as any civilian she comes across. She has a big interest in fashion, and likes to look presentable both as a civilian and as a hero. She is also an animal lover that has colaborated with several animal shelters and organizations to find the sweet creatures a place to call home.
Work as a Hero: As a hero Sweetheart is known for dealing with villains post-detention, using her enhancement to determine why the villain did what they did, their overal situation and to provide pshycological aid if necesary. Other than that she is known to work with various charitys and organizations to help the population in less “flashy” ways, and deal with issues regarding victims of abuse and mental health issues. The public eye has this view of Sweethear as a kind and aproachable individual that cares about the people over the fame of her job. Ironically this is what has lead to her getting ranked as one of the ten most reliable heroes of the country on multiple ocasions.
Enhancement: Her ability “Empathy” allows her to feel and understand the feelings and memories of others. Not only that, she can tell what people dear to the individual she is using her power with feel about said person. In order for it to work she needs to establish phisical contact with another individual. One thing she is very strict about is how she uses her ability. She won’t use it without given consent of the individual she will use it with, since she knows her power acces some very delicate parts of the heart and mind.
Relevant family members:
Charles Ellington (Father)
Margaret Ellington (Mother)
Magnus Burn / Inferno (Big brother figure)
Simon Ellington / Dusk (Son)
Cotton (Golden retriever, Pet)

Concept Art Time~☆
These first two are concepts for book covers 1 & 2. Very likely (guaranteed tbh) to change before their individual releases.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Next, we have a group of sketches that show ¹Jolon leaping with an orb of light above one hand [this kinda goes along with a dream he has had periodically ever since he was a yip (child)], ²Jolon standing next to his best and only real friend Ayita, and ³a solo image of a slightly older Jolon sitting with his legs crossed. The sketches on the right are two I did while writing these scenes in the first book: ¹Jolon & Ayita snoozing under the tree and ²Jolon listening to Ayita as they head out from the village for their adventure.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Lastly ((for now)) is art of one of the creatures encountered in the book [the xandii being something like a large quilled weasel; plural: xandos], and one of the side characters [Sani; a water elf]. I do plan to draw more of the plants/animals and other mentioned characters. Any named characters will be seen (or at least heard of) again in book 2, btw~ I didn't make them just to leave them behind, so look forward to encountering them again in the next installment!

Can't figure out Rex's part so I skipped ahead!
He had four cameras pulled up on his phone's app. The banister area, the basement, the kitchen, and the upstairs hallway. Watching the house, allowing his boys some space.
Lawrence watched through the phone screen. Ellington trapped Rex against the wall. Knees encasing Rex's. Rex didn't fight back surprisingly.
His boys now did this often, it unsettled him. It was too close for comfort. They'd been on one another's nerves for as long as he could remember for these weeks.
He managed to keep himself in bed. Allowing them the space to be kids. They did need to get a feel for the house without him around...
Movement on his cameras caught his eyes. Was a fight about to break out? Was Ellington about to tease Rex with an array of jokes like they're usual dynamic or was that gone?
He wished he knew, but neither boy was saying anything. Rex looked at Ellington. Who in turn, had him against the wall. He wasn't looking at him anymore.
Both glancing at their sibling. Marshall. Who was walking up the stairs with a pottery bowl he'd made years ago. It held all his crayons. Some broken, some not. A lot of them had no paper on them.
Nathan's doing no doubt.
Lawrence spared a glance at the sleeping boy in the basement. His temper had caused a rift between Ellington and Rex. Though he wasn't exactly sure what was said. Neither of them had told him.
Rex didn't speak much. Mainly gesturing and writing. Still too scared or confused. Lawrence liked to think confused. But he secretly figured it was the fear. Rex was well educated plus he never struggled with his words like Ellington or Nathan.
His vocabulary on paper was beyond Lawrence's even...maybe his throat was hurting him? He was always prone to tonsilitis.
Maybe he should talk to him about a tonsillectomy.
Pulled from his thoughts he noticed Marshall politely walked by murmuring and "excuse me." Lawrence could swear his heart swelled with affection.
His eyes warily memorized Ellington and Rex before exiting his app. All his boys were in a stable position, safe, and not fighting. Deciding he'd hear if they started fighting, he plugged his phone up. The screen making a silly pattern signifying it was now charging.
Laying back he smiled into his lover's empty spot. Allowing his mind to drift.
Charlotte was gone today for a photoshoot. A big one too. With some new trendy brand. Something about her favorite sports wear. She'd been sporting the bra and legging sets in all the patterns they offered for a while.
Soon enough, peace didn't last long. A door opened quietly but the creek of the sweaty palm against the knob wasn't. mistaken.
"Yes?" The blonde man looks down and to the right. Surprised by what he found. Rex. The brown-haired boy stared back.
"What is it baby? Do you need some medicine?" Lawrence coos softly laying his head on a pillow. Watching his second favorite. Who in return blushes looking away from him momentarily.
"I'll take that as a yes. Go get your medicine for me. I'll help you take it before naptime." He smiles gently before sitting up again.
Watching his boy shuffle to the bathroom, he decides to stretch. Moving his shoulders up and back.
Now settled on the bed in front of him, Rex loosely grips the throat spray. Undoing the cap, presenting it to him. Lawrence presses a kiss to the other male's hair.
"Open up." He instructs, watching Rex obey. "Good. We'll do two spritzes this time since your about to go to bed." He pats Rex's hand comfortingly as he sprays the first spray. Chuckling when Rex's face scrunches up.
"Second one then it's bedtime. You can lay here." He smiles to himself watching Rex's reaction to the second spray. 
I love their dynamics so much omg!! I also love Rex a lot XD

OC’S AS POISONOUS PLANTS

Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Marcella Dumont, @fallenlightsif (top left)
Lily of the Valley; This is the poison of giving too much. You feel yourself emptying out, dizzying, discoloring-- until you fear you will fade entirely and wither away. You have always had to give. You never had a choice before. They pluck your flowers for their beauty, they trample your leaves carelessly, they pull out your roots by the fistful and berate you for daring to grow. And now that you have a grove to spread out in, your rhizomes tangle and curl in on themselves. When cruelty is all you've ever known, thriving seems impossible. But the answer is not to make yourself small and offer every lovely thing you are to the world in the hopes it will have mercy on you. The answer is to let yourself dare to thrive for thriving's sake, to grow in the wild ways you wish to-- and to do that for yourself for once.
Josie Ellington, @theunseelieif (top right)
Hemlock; This is the poison of intense fear. Your body trembles, your flesh burns. Your limbs won't respond to you. You convulse. You can't seem to control the fear. It seems that it has always lived within you. You hesitate, you agonize, and that breeds regret. Sometimes it threatens to overwhelm you, and that frightens you more than anything. But panic is survival mode in overdrive, and something within you knows you must live. Creation seems to be the only balm for you. Perhaps you survive so stubbornly because you have stories that must be told, songs that must be sung. Soothe your stage fright. The path from surviving to thriving is having a good garden to grow in. And you can't do that completely alone.
Ilaria Thayer, @fallenlightsif (bottom left)
Doll's Eyes; This is the poison of unchecked vices. You slip into hallucinations. You are wracked with convulsions. The delirium threatens to overwhelm you. What are you running from? You look in every direction, wild-eyed at every turn, seeking some reprieve from what torments you. Each vice brings new consequences, and the price of escape seems too great, and yet you cannot seem to face things head on. If you aren't running from yourself, I hope you find a true way to freedom soon. And if you are running from yourself, perhaps you would do well to realize your pain is not something you can simply escape by avoidance. You deserve healing just as much as the ones you love. Someday, soon I hope, you will know this and feel it and reach inward to grant yourself all the kindnesses you offer others. That is the only true way to peace for ones like us. Oh, and if the pain of it seems too great? I hope that you realize you don't have to do it alone.
Ari Novik, @fallenlightsif (bottom right)
Belladonna; This is the poison of falling in love. You taste it and your heart beats fast. Your eyes dilate, you fall into deep delirium. You may be a bit dramatic and impulsive, and it gets you into trouble sometimes, but you just can't help yourself. It's in your blood. You love because it is the truest beauty you've found in this harsh world. Even when it's hurt you before, when it's poisoned you, you still find a way. They may call you naive for still believing in it, or vain for making yourself and your surroundings so meticulously lovely. But to love like this is brave and noble, and I hope you find the beauty you seek. Chances are, it's within and all around you already, if you know where to look.

Before The Dawn
Gregory/OC
Three months before the Thompson family move to Scotland sixteen year old Alice Ellington is the new kid in town and no one has ever seen her out with her parents, or knows where she lives; except for Gregory. He knows her parents are dead and she’s a street kid, living like a squatter in an old house on a hill. What he doesn’t know is that she isn’t as fragile as she looks, or that she’s not human. But that’s a secret Alice intends on keeping for as long as she can.
A/N: Will contain graphic depictions of blood, gore, violence, and death. Will notify readers of any changes within the ratings of nudity, sexual themes, and strong coarse language.
Restless and Relentless
Song for the chapter: Shortest Day by The Gathering
Gregory’s POV
Something didn’t feel right about this night, but he couldn’t put his finger on it. He scratched his head in deep thought and still came up blank; what was it about tonight that had him on edge?
Other than the fact they, his family, were getting even closer to the night of the first comet in three hundred years. Three hundred years spent, seemingly wasted, hunted down relentlessly by vampire hunters and searching endlessly for the stone of Attamon; a piece of rock that was said to break curses.
That they, his family, believed would break their curse. The curse of vampirism. Honestly, it wasn’t so bad.
Gregory scowled at the thought of being reduced to feeding on animals, remembering the times his family used to descend upon unsuspecting families in the dark. Those times had been simpler.
Until the vampire hunters became a bigger issue and his father, Frederick, began growing soft.
Retreat, his father had said.
We must find some place to hide, his father had said.
We must no longer draw attention to ourselves, his father had said.
When Frederick grew weak, Gregory had thought it was outrageous. Their family used to be ruthless until a change began stirring inside of Frederick and it was decided then they would no longer feast like king’s upon mortals.
The want to become human again became an obsession for his father and Frederick soon learned about a mysterious stone through Von, which was believed by conspiracy theorists to have broken off of the comet Attamon and was said to possess serious magic.
Ever since then they’ve been wandering around Scotland, in a desperate search.
Gregory was starting to lose hope, he often thought it was a goose chase.
Also, did he really want to be human again anyway? He was only a month away from turning sixteen when he was bitten in his sleep. His hormones had been all over the place, all the noblest females seemed to flock at his beck and call; only one woman had he wanted the attention of.
And that woman betrayed him, so in a time of great rage Gregory later ripped out her throat with his shiny new teeth. She didn’t deserve to be immortal, in his eyes anyway. Though she had begged for him to change her until she no longer spoke a breath.
Not to mention Gregory had a long standing feud with Malachi; another boy who, in the village, became like the other noble families with a thirst for blood.
But now Gregory was reminiscing. He needed to get out of his head before the anger started to grow like a fire in the pit of his belly, blinking his eyes against a heavy rainfall that overtook Scotland with random surges of wind. Though his clothes and hair were sopping wet he felt no cold.
He stood atop a store building with a bright neon sign hanging in it’s window, looking down at the empty streets below. He’d found himself hopping from one store rooftop to the next in a new shopping center that was recently built. Not like he would ever enter these buildings during the day and only one inside the shopping center was still open.
Except only one mortal was inside, behind a wall of glass for protection and leaning lazily on the countertop thumbing through one of the magazines behind the odd booth. Other than that one person Gregory sensed no other humans around.
Although they were on the opposite side of the shopping center than him Gregory inhaled the sweet, tantalizing scent of lavender and vanilla from where he stood. He growled and dropped to sit on the ledge of the building he was on, leaning in to get a closer look at the unsuspecting human.
His vision was perfect, no mortal eyes could see as well as he could in this downpour. To his delight he could see her so clearly he noticed the shiny metal in the young woman’s face; it was everywhere. In her nose, on her succulent bottom lip, even her eyebrows glinted with silver.
She was intriguing, for a mortal. What was that metal on her face? And her hair was colorful, or at least had streaks of color in it. Red, blue, purple, and green mixing with black. The young woman popped gum in her mouth and Gregory noticed shiny, silver metal there too.
His fingers gripped the edge of the building tighter, nostrils flaring as he picked up a stronger scent coming off of the young woman. Gregory grinned toothily as the scent registered in his mind; it was her blood. A sweet musk that came only from a woman’s monthly cycle, at least to vampires it was intoxicating.
She was dangerous to him.
The unsuspecting young woman had no idea she was being watched, or rather hunted. But something had stirred her from her lounge position, even as Gregory jumped from the ledge of his perch and landed silently on the wet ground below. Her eyes flickered over to stare out her glass booth and through the building door, although Gregory was sure she still could not see him through the unrelenting weather.
He could see her well. He saw her eyes, big and full of just as many colors as her hair. Blues, greens, golds, and browns.
Alice’s POV
The rain outside was relentless tonight, beating heavily on the windows of the cleverly named smoke shop; Blaze It Up, her boss clearly a stoner in his mid–thirties. There was a time she would’ve laughed at the absurdity, but something felt off about the sudden change in weather.
Some big bad thing brewing in the late night storm as she languidly leaned against the counter, chewing on a stick of Juicy Fruit while she delicately flipped through the latest Rolling Stones magazine like it was the holy Bible.
To onlookers, if there had been any in the last hour, Alice would’ve appeared calm and peaceful; content, some would say. On the inside she was on edge, there was an itch in her bones that had her combat–booted foot tapping behind the glass box.
She couldn’t stay still and had a harder time focusing on the magazine she’d plucked from the file–holder style shelf behind her. Other titles jumped out from the magazines, but none interested her as much. Vanity Fair, Better Homes and Gardens, Cosmopolitan, etc.
The newspapers held more intrigue as it’s headline practically shouted: Another Teen Slain by Rogue Beast!
Alice thought to herself, who reads the newspaper anymore?
The article continued on with a warning for residents of Scotland to be aware of your surroundings, travel in groups. Even saying the police are in a feud with state officials concerning the possibility of needing to issue a curfew.
She had no idea she was currently being watched, other than an eerie feeling of her hair standing on end; on the back of her neck, gooseflesh appearing on the skin of her arms as the AC blew down on her from an overhead vent.
It wasn’t the cold that had her hair raising, nor the pimples rising on her skin. The black turtleneck sweater and her leather jacket kept her covered almost completely.
Her senses were on high alert and her eyes narrowed in on the rain outside, searching. She didn’t know exactly what she was looking for, but her eyesight was impeccable.
Even through the downpour Alice could see the street lamps lining the cobblestone sidewalks, the store front buildings in the new shopping center; going past the glass windows of those buildings and looking into the stores themselves. She saw everything and nothing at the same time.
That’s when she heard it, from miles away; the faint sound of an approaching engine. A normal human wouldn’t have picked up on the sound it was so quiet, but roaring to her. Her nostrils flared in annoyance, reaching under the counter for the sawed–off shotgun her boss kept.
It was real, the gun, but the bullets weren’t; salt rock shells made to hurt. Not to wound. The sawed–off was kept purposefully for protection, not murder. She hoped like Hell they would do more than just bruise, if she had to squeeze the trigger.
Unlocking the only door into the “protective” box she stepped out and loaded the gun with a couple shells, appreciating it’s double barrel with her fingers before snapping it shut. As delicately as she had touched The Rolling Stones magazine, prepared to fire.
Walking into the rain outside with her long, single–slit on the side skirt billowing around her stocking–covered legs Alice held her weapon in one hand and waved her other in an arc over her head. The torrent of water coming down from the sky followed her movements, creating an umbrella effect over her.
She glared into the darkness down the road as a single headlight began forming in the distance, the distance that separated her and the rogue beast for only a minute.

1-3, 6, 14, 22-24, 28-30!
Tumblr media
hehe thank you chase!! 1. three songs that come up when you put your phone on shuffle Roman - TOOBOE The Man - The Killers Blood Capsules - The Mountain Goats good songs! :] blood capsules is my fav mountain goats song i think and ofc. tooboe <3
2. three last songs you listened to Mass Destruction - Persona 3 OST Desire Drive - 東方神霊廟 ~ Ten Desires OST Squidy Holly - Chirpy Chirps that last one is just buddy holly by weezer but splatoon. i listen to a lot of game osts and related songs jshdfgs 3. three songs you were recently obsessed with Yoyuyoku - inabakumori Necromantic - 暁Records Entrusting This World to Idols ~ Idolatrize World - 東方鬼形�� ~ Wily Beast and Weakest Creature OST They weren't lying that doki doki sure can waku waku. yoyuyoku makes me think of my ocs and idolatrize world is just a really really good final boss theme <3 6. three songs you wish you could erase from history (because they’re terrible) I will be honest if I think a song is So Sucks it's just Gone from my brain forever unless I hear it again </3 Also generally i love it when things Sound Kinda Bad so I can't even say Temporary Secretary or smthn sdjfkgs. I guess taking this more as "songs that were just kinda disappointing" a lot of game osts for remakes of beloved older games r like this for me? they often sound "cleaner" but they really lose some of the Crust and Crunch that made the old osts so good (thinkin abt specifically the P3 remake's version of Mass Destruction and also some of the remastered tracks in the XC1 remake)
14. three songs you want at your wedding Together Forever - Rick Astley Smooth - Neil Cicierega Don't Let's Start - They Might Be Giants these are for goofs but that's the charm of them i think. rick astley jumpscare.
22. three songs you listen to when you’re sad Dramaturgy - Eve Leopard - Jack Stauber Anyone Who's Anyone - Fleet Foxes Kinda surprised it took this long for fleet foxes or jack stauber to show up (I am typing these up massively out of order) but they're both v dear artists/groups to me. fun fact I only found out that fleet foxes were a local band (relative to me) way after I started getting into their music :] their ep is my fav of all their stuff tbh! if i ever got lyrics tattooed on me it would be from anyone who's anyone i think. 23. three songs that never fail to get you pumped up Matoryoshka - Hachi Saudade - Porno Graffitti Blue Monday - New Order sjkdfhs Matoryoshka is here mainly bc it will pop into my head when I'm getting ready for work </3 also the version of blue monday i linked is a weird fuckin remix with what i can only describe as vaugely halloween noises and someone biting into an apple put in? but im obsessed with the synth bass line they added so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
24. three favourite old songs (Tried to go with specifically before 1970 for these <3) Sing Sing Sing - Benny Goodman (originally by Louis Prima) Tainted Love - Gloria Jones Take Five - Dave Brubeck me in a big t shirt that says I LOVE BIG BAND JAZZ <3 I would be remiss if I didn't also mention Count Basie, Ella Fitzgerald, Duke Ellington... good stuff! I also inculded the gloria jones version of tainted love bc it rules and most ppl only know the soft cell 80s cover </3 26. three favorite non-English songs Higan (remake) - john Float Play - inabakumori Re:Re: - ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION was almost Whoops All Vocaloid but I wanted the self-cover of higan and also akfg my beloved <3 Also shoutouts to Bad Apple!! my friend bapple... I've been listening to a lot of japanese music recently (and in general) so I'd say my ratio of english to japanese songs is abt 40/60 sdhfgs
28. three best songs to get drunk or high to Michael - Franz Ferdinand Mouth Flash - Hakushi Hasegawa This fffire (New Version) - Franz Ferdinand i think i got really high one night and just listened to a bunch of franz ferdinand so i've got that association in my head sdjfhvs. don't know if I've ever gotten high and listened to hakushi but it would be An Experience i think!! (also had no idea this fffire was in that cyberpunk show huh. maybe make more ppl listen to franz ferdinand outside of Take Me Out skjdfbs)
29. three songs that influenced you most If I Ever Feel Better - Phoenix Soul Meets Body - Death Cab for Cutie Crystal Ball - Keane these all mean so much 2 me and were "my" songs during different parts of my life :]
30. three songs you really want your followers to know (for reasons other than all those above) o (__*) - Hakushi Hasegawa 春嵐 - john Black Burning Heart (demo) - Keane PLEASE do check out all of hakushi hasegawa's discography if u like the above song, their stuff is weird and loud and i've been obsessed ever since i first heard it... shun-ran is my pinned post 4 a reason! the song ever. and i'm not super big on most of keane's demos, but black burning heart & again and again are v good <3 Also didn't get a chance to mention these bands/groups but they're very important 2 me so here they are, in no particular order: I DONT KNOW HOW BUT THEY FOUND ME, Depeche Mode, Junko Yagami, Arcade Fire, The Shins, GALNERYUS, Yes, Dog Blood, Rainbow Kitten Surprise, The Cure, The Clash, Charles Mingus, Red Vox, pinocchioP, 煮ル果実, Ado, COOL&CREATE, 魂音泉... and probably more im forgetting <3
