Question: which guys would make jaune go into a gay panic

There’s some caveats that need to be declared before I answer this

First of all, Jaune isn’t the most AWARE character, bless his heart. He’s actively flirted with people and not even noticed he’s doing it, which is for the best, cause when he actually TRIES he’s pretty abysmal at it

Second of all, Jaune has always struck me as similar to Blake, someone who has been aware that they’re bi for a while, in his case mostly thanks to having Saphron as a sister. So none of these characters would be a gay awakening for the boy

Caveats out of the way, let’s get to who I think would make him go 😳

Lie Ren, lets just get that one squared away. Especially when he lets his hair down in Mistral. Has Jaune going “boy pretty”

Marrow Amin. He’s like Jaune but if he was confident, plus he’s a little bit older. Kiddo is weak to the coffee wanting puppy dog eyes

Flynt Coal. He literally does the awkward bi peace sign at him when the guy suggests that they should party some time

He’s barely met Mercury, but probably also him. Boy is a sucker for confidence, what can I say

Power of the And

80's movies week continues (Two-In-One Edition).

To stay true to Sword and Stone's soundtrack references, I can't resist throwing another OST this time from 1986, taken from the Gremlins riff Critters, into the cheerful movie round not without its raison d'être.

The simple, but by no means bad, contemporary and extremely catchy pop-rock earworm that we are talking about here doesn't really exist outside its own movie universe, but comes along with its own music video which is more or less interwoven into the plot of the movie and is therefore played often enough not to be forgotten so quickly. And what can I mean by that other than Power of the Night by Johnny Steele?

There is this small but succinct passage in Power of the Night, in which the last line of the chorus is melodically and dramatically prolonged, only for the last two words to be delivered with exaggerated masculine determination. The exact same description would also apply to a certain part in Sword and Stone.

(...)

Interestingly, Power of the Night's verse lyrics are not entirely unrelated to those of Gene's While the City Sleeps on Animalize, to put it mildly. But this is probably due to the fact that both While the City Sleeps and Power of the Night know how to make the best use of pseudo-dramatic clichés that would do a ham actor a credit.

In the process, when two stereotypically composed songs collide, something like this can surely happen, but, admittedly, I still like Johnny Steele's much better.

[audio description: a fast-paced acoustic song about Silver and Flint, with rough, aggressive guitar and dark, smooth vocals. lyrics below. end ad]

you're the eye of the squall you're the gravity that makes the bodies fall I am keeper of your name I see what you've become and fear I'm destined to the same

sword and stone you and I are never going home

left leg or right hand I've seen the sea submit to your command bloodlust in your eyes your hope is buried right next to your prize

sword and stone give me what's mine or I'm leaving here alone

be the bestial shadow on the wall let the gentlemen imagine you with claws and fangs and ten feet tall but your nightmare's running out you've taught me too well— I'm the thing they're scared of now

sword and stone don't make me pull the trigger on the best thing that I've ever known

you and I are never going home you and I are never going home you and I are never going home you and I are never going home

#black sails #john silver #james flint #silverflint #here she is! the original bitch! #I was trying to say something about how you can use a piece of flint to sharpen a silver blade #the metaphor got dropped in the revisions but the chorus and title clearly stayed lmao #anyway. sometimes you're nothing until someone makes you in their image #and you have to reckon with the fact that if you want to be nothing again then they have to be nothing too #fate touched #sword and stone #jams #bluh bluh

Character concept: kindly old mentor figure who is scouring the land in search of The Chosen One to pull the sword from the stone. They find the kid destined to be king, whisk them away on a magical adventure full of lessons like "be a good sport" and "always see the best in people," and guide them to the stone.

The child pulls the sword out and immediately gets knifed in the ribs by their mentor, who takes the sword, hides the body, and gets declared the rightful king.

Possible redesigns of the guards!

Since they haven't done much in the past hundred years, im guessing they're pretty dusty in the creaks, poor Y/n has to deal with two large cats who see y/n as a toy

Heartburn and Stoned

80's movies week.

In certain hardcore fan circles, Sword and Stone is often confused with Time Traveller, or rather Time Traveler with Sword and Stone. Incidentally, these are the same fans who, for example, also prefer to confuse All For the Glory with All For the Love of Rock N' Roll. No wonder, because after all Eric Singer sings both titles. Who wouldn't make such a faux pas? (1)

In the case of Sword and Stone, however, there is a direct reference to the OST of the 80s box office hit Rocky IV due to its great similarity to the beginning of Survivor's Burning Heart, which, tied to the strict idiocy alluded to above, makes Time Traveller preferable and not infrequently associated with training montages, although this title has more than little in common with the music taking place there and its zeitgeisty visualization. What else can I say?

Maybe you don't know what I'm talking about now, but believe me you will when it's over. You will when it's over!

Side Note:

(1) I can't keep track of two titles either.

Sword and Stone (1986)

Burning Heart (1985)

[audio description: a slow, contemplative, pained song about Madi and Silver, played on piano. lyrics below. end ad]

you cast your gaze across the sea searching for the ghost you made you've spent all your bullets you've laid down your blade your head hangs heavy with the weight you know that I once saw the best in you a mind and tongue as sharp as glass and shining just the same I wish you'd told me something that were true

the man who made the sky turn pink and the water run red you could tell anybody what to think but never shared what was in your head intoxicating as the sweetest drink you held me precious in your bed but the power of your disbelief left our hands in shackles instead

maybe I was just too young for a love that lit me up and a battle hard-won maybe it would have been enough to settle for just one maybe I wanted too much

a chorus of voices chose me to lead the fight a chorus of voices entrusted me with their lives you spoke too loud you were too proud have you thought about what could have happened if we had been right?

I thought we would change the world standing side by side along the way you lost your nerve you looked at me and lied they called you "king" 'til you believed it was your place to decide and now even if the man still breathes someone you loved has died

I see the way it aches in you I see the shipwreck you've turned into sitting somber on the sand do you regret giving the command? you may not ever understand I may not ever understand

your head hangs heavy with the weight you know that I once saw the best in you how can I reach out to take hold of you again if you're never really there and my hand just passes through?

#black sails #madi scott #john silver #silvermadi #this song did not exist when I posted the last one lmao so there are still two left to go #they should be done this week. I just need to mix and edit them #the whole ep will be up on bandcamp and ao3 and on my sideblog #I'll probably post them here too. I know myself enough to know I'll want the attention lmao #anyway. this is the most vocally challenging thing I've ever written. so if I sound like shit then keep it to yourself sskldfj #fate touched #sword and stone #jams #bluh bluh

This was supposed to just be a rough sketch, but then I started getting really invested in it.

I hadn't initially intended to include so many picture book characters, but the nostalgia was overwhelming. Does anyone remember the animated short films produced by Weston Woods? My local library used to have a bunch of them on the Scholastic VHS tapes from the late 90s. (I know some shorts were released on the Children's Circle VHS tapes back in the 80s (🎶 Come on along! Come on along! Join the caravan!), and some were packaged in Sammy's Story Shop in 2008.)
