Starter for @thrall-of-the-hill​
Andrew held their gaze, feeling uncomfortable about how light he was packing. He wasn’t here to fight or be shot, so he had abided by the rules for the sake of peace. He reclined into the seat, leaning his head against his propped up fist. “What could be so important that you wanted to make me risk my life to see you?” As far as Andrew knew, they were on neutral grounds so there was no reason to ruin their peace.

Wash Day
Pairing: Andrew Hozier-Byrne x Reader
Warnings:
Summary: Wash day is Sunday, so Andrew and his girlfriend get in the shower together (not sexually).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
He’s just minding his business, siting in the living room of your home, book in hand, glasses on his face. He’s nice and comfy, content, thinking his gonna be sat there for a while,
“It’s wash day!”
There, all ruined in a 3 word sentence, his day of lounging around and reading is destroyed by his girlfriend yelling that today is the day of the week where she washes his hair… because apparently he can’t do it himself.
Begrudgingly, he puts down his book, making his way up to the big bathroom in the house. There’s his girlfriend, smiling at him, with the little (it’s not little who is he kidding) basket of hair products.
Two washes, conditioner, hair mask, a plethora of curly hair products, and other tools she’ll ’torture’ him with. That’s how this will go, that’s how it happens every week on Sunday.
Sunday is wash day, she washes his hair then her own. It’s always wash day, yet every week he forgets how bad it is, then has to do it again.
“Come on, strip.”
She says with a smile, Turing on the shower so it can warm up.
“Wow… what am I, a common whore?”
She giggles at him, before getting undressed herself so they can get in together. A few minutes later, she’s got him sat on the floor, so she can reach his head, in the large shower. First step is getting his hair wet, the shower head is pulled off the wall to make this happen. She points the warm water start at his hair, getting it wet, then for the fun of it she spritz of water into his face,
“Aye!”
“Oh, hush. You spend you mornings in the Irish Sea, a little warm water to the face isn’t gonna kill you.”
He grumbles, at her words, crossing his arms as his girlfriend gets his hair all drenched so it can be shampooed.
And thats the next thing, a shampoo bar is pulled out of the basket, it’s taken out of the case it’s kept in so it doesn’t mould. She scrubs his hair with the bar, until it starts to bubble up, the bar is discarded and she just massages his scalp and rubs the shampoo into his hair.
He leans back into her tummy, his eyes closed, a low hum of pleasure coming from deep into his chest.
“Does that feel good, Bear?”
The reply comes in a soft rumble from his chest, she giggles at his enjoyment, continuing to massage the built up dirt from his hair and scalp.
She grabs the shower head, washing the first round of shampoo out of his hair. The warm water runs over his head and face, dripping down his body, leaving a sweet soothing feeling down his body.
She moves about, putting the first shampoo bar back in the basket,
“Ooo! Do you want to try this honey scented  shampoo?”
He doesn’t care, what she uses on his hair. He’s just mindless, so deep in the soothing pleasure of her touch. He just nods in his mindless state.
She smiles, repeating the acts again. She opens the shampoo bar, except she holds it to his nose before she uses it, its smells great. She scrubs the bar into his hair, then massages it into his scalp and hair. Then washes it out.
“There we go! That’s the first thing done, and we’re only 15 minutes in.”
She says with a smile, kissing his cheek, as if praising him for just sitting still so she could wash his hair.
She moves off to the basket, putting everything back, and finally pulling conditioner out. She move to his hair, slathering the conditioner on her hands, then threading it through his hair, making sure not to get it on his roots. Finally she pulls out, washing off the conditioner on her hands,
“3 minutes wait time, just sit there and look pretty.”
He smiles at her comment, then 3 minutes later she washes the conditioner out, the a hair mask is caked on his hair. She wraps a shower cap around his head.
“Come on, hun… I’ve gotta wash my hair while that mask does its thing.”
“Yes, ma’am”
He moves to a small stone bench kept in their large shower, and he just watches as she washes her own hair.
It’s a lot quicker for her to wash her hair, because she’s been doing this since she was a kid. Washing her hair out, it’s takes all of 15 minutes for her to shampoo her hair twice and condition it. That leaves another 15 minutes for his hair mask, so she puts her own hair mask in.
“Are you done, honey?”
She hums back at him, moving back to him, standing in front of him, her hands on his cheeks, rubbing his cheekbones with her thumbs.
“Hey, do you recon we should shampoo and condition your beard?”
She jokes, the answer is yes, they could shampoo and condition his beard. But he doesn’t want to say yes, because then washing his beard will also become a regular thing.
“……no.”
“Are you lying to me?”
“No…”
“Yes, you are… we should wash your beard!”
“Please no…”
It was too late, now their sat on the shower floor, her rubbing the honey shampoo bar along his cheek. Giggling at his little pout. She rubs the shampoo into his beard, her hands moving along his cheeks, smiling at him warmly.
“Why…? You didn’t have to do this to me…”
She giggles, kissing his lips, so some of the shampoo transfers onto her cheeks as well.
“Look at that! No we’re matching!”
She says happily, we do match, both in shower caps with shampoo foam on our cheeks. She smiles at him, grabbing the shower head and washing the shampoo off his and her cheeks. Then she moves in with the conditioner to his beard, and his pout only gets bigger.
“Please tell me we’re not doing this again…”
She laughs, waiting the 3 minutes for the conditioner, then washing off.
“Look, time to wash out your hair mask!”
His sighs, when the shower cap is pulled off his head, just to get slapped in the face with his hair, making his lover laugh.
The hair mask is washed out, and she leaves him to wash his body while she finishes washing her hair and her own body.
___
She now has Andrew sat in her vanity chair, having other products scrunched into his hair. She’s stood behind him, finger coiling his hair, separating his strands of hair and coiling them so she doesn’t have to put his hair in rolls.
“Now, Andy… I’m gonna give you the choice, do you want to defuse your hair or not?”
“No, I just want to get dry and read my book… please.”
She smiles softly, kissing his cheek softly, tying his hair up in an old cotton t-shirt so it can dry naturally.
“Ya know, I should get you a bonnet.”
He sighs, not really listening anymore, he just gets into pyjamas and goes back downstairs to sit in his arm chair with the book he’s been trying to read.
And then, she joins him, making herself comfortable in his lap as he reads.

Kaylor Timeline BEFORE VSFS 2013
It's a thread I did on my Twitter that I'll transfer here.
Once again, I used amazing Tumblr posts to do it. So I'll credit them as we go (If I need to do something else tell me, I'm new to the Tumblr etiquette).
So the official story is that Taylor and Karlie crossed path a couple of times without interacting and met for the first time at the Victoria Secret Fashion Show in 2013 🤔
Well they met A LOT of times and interacted before actually 😅
Let's see the Timeline before that VSFS in 2013!
***I'll edit this post as I find new interactions (because I feel like I'll find a lot of them) I'll add this 🆕 beside new additions and dates when it was added at the end of the post.
First meeting!
So what motivated my thread in the first place is this Interview Taylor did in 2014 with Andrew Bevan of Teen Vogue.
Here's the YouTube Link (X)
But here's the most important part of that interview:
He is saying that he introduced Karlie and Emma Stone to Taylor!!
Ok we know that Taylor met Emma at the 2008 Young Hollywood Award.
I don't think though that he is talking about that event. Because he says that he congratulated her for her cover.
Taylor did two covers with Teen Vogue, one in 2009 and one in 2011.
Following the Timeline and everything it's most likely the March 2009 one:
Tumblr media
EDIT:
Thanks to this Anon! (X)
A magazine cover is planned 2-8 months in advance, up to a year for major celebrities.
The Young Hollywood Award was on late April 2008 and the cover was for March 2009 so it make sense.
Tumblr media
So it's most likely that Taylor met karlie for the first time at the same event she met Emma for the first time.
🆕 Really cute fact.
On the Cover of that magazine, Taylor wears a dress from the Calvin Klein Spring 2009 show. (X)
Guess who walked that runway??
Karlie! (X)
I exceeded the limit of picture so click on the (X) to see the posts.
Tommy Hilfiger spring 2010 collection:
Septembre 16th 2009 Taylor attends the Tommy Hilfiger Spring Show during New York Fashion Week. (X)
Karlie was there too! (X)
Tumblr media
Tumblr media
In this post, you can see videos of Taylor watching Karlie on the runway: (X)
Here's the YouTube video : (X)
🆕Met Gala 2010:
They were both at the Met Gala in 2010
Tumblr media Tumblr media
🆕In Milan together
Although they were not at the same Fashion Show (that we know) Taylor and Karlie were in Milan at the same time during the Fashion Week.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Another interesting facts. This could explain the "1958" reference of Timeless:
Tumblr media
Thanks to Izg on Twitter for giving me this!!
Roberto Cavalli 40th Anniversary Party:
Septembre 30th 2010
Taylor and Karlie attends the Roberto Cavalli 40th Anniversary party in Paris.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Met Gala 2011:
May 2nd 2011
Karlie and Taylor both attend the Met Gala:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This is also the first time that we have confirmation of an interaction between them:
Thanks to that amazing post! (X)
Karlie said in Teen Vogue that they joked about having a baking date.
Tumblr media
Rodarte Spring 2012 fashion show:
Septembre 13th 2011
Taylor attend Rodarte Spring 2012 fashion show where Karlie walks.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Here's a link to the video (X)
Vogue Febuary 2012:
January 17th 2012
Taylor mentions Karlie in her Vogue interview: "I love Karlie Kloss! I Want to bake cookies with her!"
And this quote, made history.
Tumblr media
Karlie answers the same day:
Tumblr media
Vogue Fashion's Night Out:
August 2012
Thanks to this post (X)
Taylor and Karlie star in the same commercial about Vogue Fashion Night Out:
youtube
Thanks to @hairpinraindrop for the video
Karlie and Taylor were present at the event too on Septembre 6th 2012
youtube
Paris 2012:
Septembre 30th 2012
Karlie walks the runway for Jean-Paul Gauthier in Paris:
Tumblr media
Taylor is in Paris at the same time to film the Begin Again MV:
Tumblr media
Funny Koincidence(?), I went back and watch that MV again, and look at the opening scene!
Tumblr media
The Love Lock Bridge!!!
Elie Saab Spring Summer 2013 show:
Octobre 3rd 2012
Taylor is still in Paris and attends The Paris Fashion Week (X) at a fashion show where I'm pretty sure Karlie walked (I'm still searching for photos/videos).
But we know that Karlie was at the Paris Fashion Week too! (Thanks Astra!)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Here's a video:
youtube
🆕Met Gala 2013
They were also both at the Met Gala in 2013. Wich was in May.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So there you have it! All of Kaylor interaction BEFORE the 2013 VSFS!
This explains the timing of it all.
Because they allegedly met at the 2013 Victoria Secret Fashion Show in Novembre.
But as we know, Taylor moved to New York because Karlie asked her:
youtube
Timestamp 1:23
And people believe that she moved there after their Big Sur trip in March 2014.
Actually. Back in January 2014, Taylor was already looking to buy an appartment near Karlie's:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
And she actually bought her Tribeca oenthouse in February.
Tumblr media
Thanks to Bigsurlor for this!!
So they definitly knew each other before 2013!
Edit August 19 2023: Met Gala 2010, Milan trip together and Met Gala 2013 and the appartment hunting
Edit August 27th 2023: the Calvin Klein Spring 2009 dress section

tag game! 🎧🎶 tagged by @theocannibalism shuffle your music library and share the first 10 songs that come up.
Thanks bud! Shuffling my liked instead of my playlists for fairness ✌️
Waiting For The Weekend by San Cisco: a decent song! I liked it more in uni but it's certainly still musically pretty - it's a little trite to write a love song about drugs being personified, but San Cisco can make anything a sexy indie jam (7/10) Favourite line: And when she's standing right next to me / She's never quite as close as I'd like her to be
Your Dog by Soccer Mommy: a STELLAR song by a band truly so close to my heart - my fav combination in music is a clean voice and dirty bass. also this song also has a fucked up relationship dynamic and its. very Izzy Hands to me sorry (10/10) Favourite line: Forehead kisses break my knees / And leave me crawling back to you
Pulaski at Night by Andrew Bird: another top tier banger but also (shout out to artificial ghost radio listeners) this is my NBC hannigram song its so. like the classical instruments and delusional sweetness makes it feel like a candlelit waltz in a blood splattered suit (10/10) Favourite line: I write you a story / But it loses its thread / And all of my witnesses / Keep turning up, turning up dead
Paint It, Black by The Rolling Stones: truly wild that this is in my likes because its a great song but its like. I don't think I've ever intentionally listened to the rolling stones apart from this? anyway bangers only I always love how dramatic and goth it is (8/10) Favourite line: No more will my green sea / Go turn a deeper blue
Androgynous by The Replacements: this song honestly makes me tear up sometimes, even tho its purely joyful, because it makes me think about how its a song from the 80s that has more kindness and love for genderqueer people than most people do 40 years later. It makes me love being t4t (9/10) Favourite line: Now, something meets boy, and something meets girl / They both look the same / They're overjoyed in this world
Cinnamon Spider by Jack Off Jill: nothing wrong with an alt/goth song about revenge and guilt with weird voice modulated screaming and creepy whispering (7/10) Favourite line: Consumed by hate and guilt, she'll never retire / Too old to fix, too dead to ever acquire
Human Fly by The Cramps: I've been listening to a lot of rockabilly/oldhead goth rock recently and I'm loving the cramps! I've only really heard the big hits until recently, but Human Fly is definitely my stand-out favourite, I love songs that are kinda nasty and maggoty or more conceptual or goofy! It makes it stand out to me (10/10) Favourite line: And baby I won't care / 'Cuz baby I don't scare / 'Cuz I'm a reborn maggot using germ warfare
The Price Is Right Theme Song by Antarctigo Vespucci: I'm a little over listening to indie emo at the moment so I do frequently skip this when it comes on shuffle, but the lyricism is honestly heartbreaking (5/10) Favourite line: Oh my lord, I wish that I didn't know they'll still make TV shows long after I go.
Big Bird by AJJ: I have thoughts feelings comments and critiques of AJJ, but I can't deny that if you want to be in a dangerously bad mood it hits. it completely hits. and I think its interesting that they make songs about taboo intrusive thoughts and criticisms they have of the world, even if i dont always love the song they make in the end (6/10) Favourite line: So I bought a knife / I am a knife / I am a Knife Man
Arty Boy by Flight Facilities ft. Emma Louise: a real vibey party song about being inexplicably into the guy taking photos and smoking at the function instead of dancing - to me it reads as a little comphet, or a little bit bisexual, because the way Emma Louise is singing about the ladies is a lil sus (7/10) Favourite line: And all the girls must be models here, sipping up on margaritas / Twist their bodies so beautiful, making shapes with the music
idk who to tag but if you want an excuse to do this, go with my blessing and pretend I tagged you

3 Songs Playlist(s) 🎶
Tagged by @salsedinepicta! 💎 Thank you!
So sorry it took me forever to do this. I had planned on doing this for my dragon age PCs but was overthinking it too much..Then recently I was listening to one of my original story playlists and I remembered -I can do this for other ocs too, wow! Who knew, haha!
So, here are 3 songs for 3 characters from one of my stories!
Tumblr media
Elias Hatch:
Oh What a World by Rufus Wainwright -
Still, I think I'm doing fine (I'm doing fine)
Wouldn't it be a lovely headline
"Life Is Beautiful"?
Lay Me Down by The Oh Hellos -
See, I was born a restless, wayward child
I could here the whole world calling me outside
Of the masses I routinely sat behind
And Lord, I had to see with my own eyes
Pulaski at Night by Andrew Bird -
I write you a story
But it loses its thread
And all of my witnesses
Keep turning up, turning up dead
Tumblr media
Eloise Hatch:
Jackrabbit by San Fermin -
Run for the hills, honey, run for the hills, honey
Run for the hills, don't look back
Woman by the Well by Sarah Blasko -
Still, I want you around
I just want you around
'Cause I'm more lost than found
Bohemian Dances by the Dø-
Look at the sunrise, look at the moonlight
You're not in a hurry, it isn't the time
I know what's best now
Believe me the best is never around if you're trying too hard
Tumblr media
John O’Connor :
Deep Blue Sea by Grizzly Bear -
Dig his grave, darling
With a silver spade
Dig his grave, darling
With a silver spade
From Here You Can Almost See the Sea by David Gray -
Come the weekend
And we'll be long gone baby
Just like the old days
Letting the world flow through me
Stone Wall, Stone Fence by Gregory and the Hawke -
Stone wall, stone fence
Your stories so old you just tend to keep them
Long winding road
You got a secret
But you won't share it
Tagging: You guessed it, whoever sees this and would like to do it as well!

WIP Wednesday 12/20/23
We're back again babyyyyy!!
Rules as always:
• In a reblog of this post (so people can find you in the notes) or new thread (w/ rules attached) if you want to play on your own, post up to five (5) filenames of your WIPs; not titles, file names.
• Post a snippet from one of them. Snippet must be words you wrote in the last 7 days. We're posting progress here. If you haven't made any, go make some and come back to play.
• After you've posted, people can send you an ask with one of your file names. You must then write 3 sentences in that file. If the filename is one you can't share from (for example, an event or gift fic), write 3 sentences on it anyway, and then 3 more on another to share.
• That's it! You can invite others to join in, or just post.
If you're reading this, you're invited!
Remember, you can ask for each WIP that is below! (Or even the same one again!)
This weeks WIPS are:
1. Tutor Neil
2. Teacher/Musician
3. Stardew Isekai
4. Dealers Choice (could be one of the above or something new!)
Snippet from Stardew down below!
He moves to the entrance of his farm, pulling a curved blade out from his bag and grabbing a hold of the tall grass. It is methodical as he works to cut the grass back. The soft swing of the scythe cutting through the greenery is almost pleasant. The sweet smell of fresh-cut grass fills his nose. Vague memories settle in a dull cloud in his mind, other smells he’d enjoyed in the past—oatmeal, apple pie. He shakes the thought away, it is too vague to hold on to anyway. Falling into the repetitive work is calming in a way. Soon, most of the grass from the front of his farm is cleared away. Neil collects the sticks that lay scattered about, piling them neatly beside the rotting porch.
Another glance up shows Andrew straddling another beam. Nails held between his lips and hammer in hand as he hits the wood before him. He looks in control, perfectly in his element. Muscles beneath his shirt move, proof that Andrew worked hard at his job and was constantly working. His shoulders are broader than Neil had first thought, his shirt stretched tight over the expanse of muscle there. Neil looks away, gaze settling on the stones that are the only sore sight in the clearing now. His back already aches and he knows his legs and shoulders are going to scream at him in the morning, but if he can clear the area it would look a little nicer than before.
Neil takes a quick drink and shakes his shoulders out—he has a farm to clean up.

Scottish Historical Lúnasdal & Lammas
Tumblr media
There are many theories of where the name Lammas comes from. Some I have come across are:
It could be warped from luna agustalis, which is latin for “August moon.”
It is from “loaf-mass,” which is an alternative name that some people do call it today.
It is an anglicization of Gŵyl Awst, Welsh for “feast of August”
It comes from the Anglo-Saxon “Hlâf-mæsse” which means “loaf mass.”
Lammas is mentioned as a Christian festival, but it does overlap with a pagan one. As like with other cross-quarter day festivals that coincided with church ones, the names and traditions blurred.
Lúnasdal (which has many alternative spellings), is thought to be named after the Irish god Lugh, and the day was once widely celebrated in Scotland and elsewhere. It commonly marked the end of the fishing season, and the start of the harvest season. The day would often see markets, feasts, dancing, and saining.
“This, being a quarter day, formed a great day with old women for saining cattle, and performing those ceremonies by which evil was to be kept away from them for the next three months. Tar was put on their tails and ears, charms (òradh) were said at their udders, red and blue threads were put on their tails, and various observances were gone through with balls of hair (rolag), plants, fire about the earthenware pipkins (crogain) in which milk or butter was to be put, etc. Curds and butter were specially prepared for a great feast held this day, at which it was highly important that everyone got as much as he cared for.” “Witchcraft & Second Sight in The Highlands and Islands of Scotland” by John Gregorson Campbell (1902)
One of the most unique traditions involved a mock-war. Hundreds or more communities of a district would build towers of sod or stone.
“It was for the most part square, about 4 feet in diameter at the bottom, and tapering to a point at the top, which was seldom above 7 feet or eight feet from the ground . In building it a hole was left in the centre for admitting a flagstaff, on which were displayed their colours on the great day of the festival. This tower was generally commenced about a month before Lammas, being seldom entirely completed till close that time.” “Old Scottish Customs, Local and General” by Ellen Emma Guthrie (1885)
As Lammas drew near, the groups would gradually build the tower, fend off any saboteurs, pick a captain, then find themselves a flag (colours) that would be put up in the tower.
For this purpose they borrowed a fine table – napkin of the largest size from one of the farmers ‘ wives within the district , and ornamented it with ribbons. “British Popular Customs, Present and Past; Illustrating the Social and Domestic” by T. F. Thiselton-Dyer (1911)
On Lammas itself, they would set out with cudgels(a bat-like weapon), and protect their tower by any means possible, even if it included bloodshed. Some would set out, with the goal of toppling enemy towers. If the attacked stopped by mid-day, flags would be removed, and the crowds would head back to their communities while blowing horns. From then, races and other fin would be held.
For a strange bit of folklore, Lammas was said to take an eye of gadflies(horseflies), making them less dangerous.
"On Lammas day, the gad-fly “loses one of its eyes” (Latha Lùnasdal caillidh chreithleag an leth shùil). The creature is not so vicious after this date.’" “Witchcraft & Second Sight in The Highlands and Islands of Scotland” by John Gregorson Campbell (1902)

To Fly By Night
For this deed of Arte a leather thread and a hagstone are required; the latter being a stone thorough which there is a hole naturally worn through: A gateway graven by the hands of earth and charmed to open by the tongues of the river. Taking the hagstone in one’s grasp, one should contemplate its opening and entreat it to be a doorway for your going-forth in dreams. One should then take leathern thread and, holding it in one’s hands, should fantasize about the ways of the magical night-procession.
Consider the spirits. Think of She who flies forth out of the body and into the freedom of the darksome midnight. Ascend with the spirits through the openings of the flesh; take leave of your mortal abode and roam abroad with the unseen company of the Aire. Step upon the wind and lay yourself into the arms of the sky. Hear the sonorous beating of bird-wing and spirit-wing; hear the rhythm of their flight echoing words of enchantment, patterning the nocturnal plains with sigils of forgotten desires. Behold the gateways to the Other: Silhouettes glimpsed against the vault of the stars. Be at one with them; be at one with the night-wandering host of the sky. Let the coolth of the star-river enliven your soul and lead you to the scent-trail of the pathless path. Hear the wing-beats of the spirit and feel your heart-beats; hear the heart’s drum and count your steps into the boundless dance of god, man and beast. Behold the companions of the round dance. Behold!
With each poignant atmosphere of fantasy, knot the thread and thus create a rosary of dreaming potentials. When the thread has seven knots, pass it through the mouth of the hagstone and tie to form a loop through which one’s hand may be placed. The stone and thread should be entreated with a final prayer for the spell to work. Then, at the end of one’s waking day, the stone should be held in one’s hand (generally the one most seldom used) and the cord wrapped around the wrist. The stone should rest within the hand like a child in its crib. Then I bid you forget about it ‘til morning. Perchance in dreaming your spirit shall pass through the stone-mouth and wander abroad in the night-walkers’ procession, flying freely to the place that some have called ‘Sabbat’. Where-ever the dreaming takes you, the thread of knots shall guide and bring you home, once more to waken at the edge of day.

Prompt #20: Hamper - Arrosez
Writing Music:  Everybody Sins - Andrew WK
It was the dark of the moon in the depths of winter, the days short and bright with the nights long and frozen.  The forest slumbered in this season, the only green seen from holly vines tangled in the bare limbs of the oak tree and the occasional pine scattered among the different trees of the Shroud.  It was a time to rest and heal, take the time to tell stories, indulge in hobbies that one didn’t have the means to do in the busier seasons of spring, summer, and fall.  The land would tend to itself now, for most at least.
For those dedicated to Memphina, this phase of the moon within the darkest of the months was a time to remember and in this Rose was no exception.  The tribe was more malms away than they could count, separated by mountains and oceans and an iron cage.  Sometimes, the cage could be slipped out of, their soul feeling the pull of home and tradition even in this ceruleum soaked hellscape.  A flicker of aether, carefully drawn from the bluejay that acted as unseen companion and lifeline, traveled throughout the compound of the Alaudae.  Those that were already sleeping sunk deeper into it and those that weren’t found themselves pushed into a light slumber despite whatever task they were doing.  It wouldn’t last long, but long enough for what they needed.  The doors of this cage were never locked, the collars around the necks of the Alaudae more than enough to keep the prisoners of war in line as Rose has found out time and time again.  Escape was so close in this moment, but not close enough, not while that wretched device was locked around their neck and hampered their every effort to leave. Instead, the call of impossible freedom was ignored as they walked through the ghostly silent halls and out into the frost coated gloom.  They couldn’t see the moon, no one could when Menphina hid herself from the Star.  But, they could still feel it, knew where it traveled unseen along the sea of stars.  Their feet took them past the gates where guards slumped against the posts in forced slumber.  A clump of trees nearby called to the elezen, though they kept to the road to mask their passage.  Only turning towards the trees once they were close enough that the footsteps wouldn’t be easily seen.  Once within the shelter of the needled covered boughs Rose exhaled before looking up to the star speckled sky and let theirself think of things that only brought grief and pain in this place. The warmth of a fire crackling, tucked in beside the stone hearth deep in the ground with a good book and a warm drink.  The laughter of lovers nearby as Moni cooked and Ren got in the way to snitch bites of food as he could.  The scent of spices and stew, savory and sweet, from the magic that Moni could manage in the kitchen.  She always was the better cook.  Meals shared along with kisses and cuddles and so many things they took for granted.  Yet under it all?  The Star and the road called, the bedrock singing a sweet tune of exploration with notes of cacophony, imbalances that needed correcting.  Tears rolled down the half mask Rose wore to keep their face protected from the biting cold, freezing before they could drop down onto the snow.  The sorrow and longing sapped the strength from their limbs and a need to scream about the unfairness of it all burbled uselessly in their chest.  They couldn’t, not here, never here.  The spell was far too tenuous with the limited aether they could work with here.  If they were caught?  It would mean more pain, a step closer to death that they still fought against.  It would be a step further from the memories they held close like a thread worn blanket that was cherished well past it’s usefulness.  It was too long and not long enough before they turned and left the copse of trees, retracing their steps back to their cell within the compound.  If the guards at the gate were a bit too still?  Well that was on them for falling asleep in the bitter cold.  Asleep in their room Rose had nothing to do with it and no care for any lives lost in the dark of Menphina’s smile.

a long thing about fanfiction writing and my future spidey fic specifically
so i watched some tasm content on youtube, just to get some *vague gestures* you know for the plot of the fic
and it's...
questionable
the plot and pacing and decisions that these writers made are extremely questionable.
(I really loved the rewrite from troyoboyo17 on youtube! don't always agree with him but he did a great job with his TASM rewrite so I would recommend checking out his channel. Very well-spoken and funny guy.)
anyway I wanted to say that what I'm planning has Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone in mind, with a few keypoints to his plot that I will keep, but overall his story might change drastically
Obviously it would have anyway, since we're introducing very new concepts and characters to his story, but the difference is clear :
I'm not just inserting my characters and plot into his movies and making the appropriate changes according to that. No.
This is simply a project where the spider-man and the peter parker I want to write about is just fundamentally the same as Andrew Garfield's. Gwen Stacy is also included in this, as my issues don't lie with her, her character or her chemistry with Pete, but some elements will definitely have to go, and there are some things I want to explore with her too.
Sorry for the long post! I know that not many people are interested or will read for now, but just in case some people stumble across my account and are curious about this project I'm starting, it's an important disclaimer I have to make!
so here it is :
THIS IS NOT A FANFIC IN THE WEBB-VERSE. THIS IS A FANFIC ABOUT ANDREW'S PETER AND SPIDER-MAN.
As for the reader/oc that I'm still working on, the decision is tough but I think I'll make it into an OC. Obviously it makes my job easier, but there are also a few things I want to talk about :
Reading xreader fanfics, for me, a person who is VERY different from the usual target demographic of these, is difficult. I have a lot of trouble seeing myself anywhere or identifying to anyone in media and fiction, wether that's about appearance, gender, ethnicity, or deeper issues i have to deal with and general inner workings of the mind
I get frustrated easily scowering Ao3 and Tumblr tags for something that might be a little like me, but it's... difficult. And hasn't happened yet. I have never found anything that fits me or makes me feel included in any way, because there's always an important detail that sticks out and "ruins it"
And by writing about a character in my head that would not apply to everyone, I feel almost selfish because I feel like I'm closing the door to an opportunity to make everyone feel included. So I feel genuinely sorry. And I know that it's impossible to have a character that everyone identifies with in all aspects, because it would just be a blank slate and there wouldn't be a story to tell, but I still feel sorry in some way.
So yes, this will be about an afab oc, and there are aspects of their personality and character that I'm already sure of, so that's that.
I talked at first about a gender-neutral reader spider-person fic but that's easier to achieve on a smaller scale, like in ficlets or headcanons and whatnot
And why I wanted to do that originally is because I read murdock fanfics for example, works like "Bound By Law" by @1rsoldiersince2012 , or "Chaos Broke The Devil" by @lunarrule on AO3 or even obviously OBVIOUSLY @pastafossa's The Red Thread that i've mentioned before,
they're all WONDERFUL AND AMAZING AND YES I'M ALSO TAKING AN OPPORTUNITY TO SHOUT THEM OUT
but these three fics are still centered around a mostly original character that you can IMAGINE as yourself. And because the people that want to read matt murdock fics are USUALLY MOSTLY women, it's normal that this "y/n" ends up a woman
so ofc, as you can guess, and because the DD fanfic land is so small and petite and skinny and small, there is no long, plot-centric x reader fanfiction that is ready to commit and explore the consequences involved with choosing a "reader" that isn't just some skinny woman.
And, I think, it's maybe also because Involving more diversity would also mean talk about these issues without which it'd feel unnatural. For example, it is a little weird to read stranger things fanfictions where "reader" is trans or nb or something, and as soon as they meet everybody they all are accepting and use the proper pronouns and it doesn't have consequences on social or family life within the 80s little small town world that is Stranger Things
But talking about that is tricky too. You wouldn't want people going through discrimination or exclusion or any kind of familial or social issues to have to endure that in their safe place too. Fandom, and fanfiction especially, is an escape. It's self-indulgent, and wonderful, and probably not realistic (at all...)
i mean come on. it's alternate realities, vampires, wizards and superheroes and whatever. come on.
but still, accurate representation is important too, maybe even more than complete escapism? Maybe it depends on the person.
(I'm the kind of reader that gets jealous and frustrated when it's too soft or too happy or too perfect in fanfiction, but maybe that's exactly what someone else needs??)
ugh.
This whole issue is complicated. For some reason I wanted to get it all out, I needed some kind of vessel for my thoughts.
so
to sum up the important parts :
- my fanfic (maybe will include some artwork and comic strips) will be about andrew's spidey but not the webb-verse
- the main character will be afab, but I will, because I can't help it, include tidbits about queerness and stuff
- I'm sorry to everyone who will be a little dissapointed, like I am sometimes with other fandoms, that this won't be an xreader fic they can transpose themselves onto, or at least not a blank slate of one
thank you for reading all of this!

Polyphony; Diapason; Unison… erm, Euphony…?
Plunger are running out of synonyms for ‘harmony’ after the latest London show by Zervas & Pepper at the Bedford. Another cracking evocation of 70s West Coast sophistication and prog-folk filigree was shot through with stunning two- and three-part harmonies to die for.
Which is not to say those are the only string to Z&P’s bow: originals drawn from their five albums to date in the set showed their songwriting chops, with the kind of complex chords, and unexpected progressions and melodies you’d associate with David Crosby or Joni Mitchell; while the sparkling individual elements of Paul Zervas’ excellent acoustic guitar and James Taylor-ish lead vox, and the limpid Haslamesque vocal tone (and occasional piano) from Kathryn Pepper could easily stand on their own.
Acting as their own ‘support’ Paul and Kathryn’s opening acoustic duo set included an airy expansive Reach Out, the balmy folk of Beverley and John Martyn’s Give Us A Ring and Abstract Heart’s polished Renaissance-meets-C&N with a glacial two-part wordless passage that rivalled the over-cranked aircon for raising goose-pimples!
Paul and Kathryn were joined by their band (Charley Piercey on guitar, harmony vox and occasional keys; Andrew Brown bass, Sam Andrews drums) for the main set, opening with the loose-limbed CSN bustle of There Is Only Love and the eerie harmonies of The Gift. Kathryn’s piano and a fiery break from Charley added extra threads to the proggy progression of Roses Of Jericho, while Charley took over keys duty for the Joniesque restlessly shifting Cards and also added piano to the loping Band-like groove of Sad Pariah. The rootsier vibe continued in Lookout Mountain, with a breezy countryish vox-and-acoustic intro breaking into a rattling backwoods traintrack beat topped with lush wordless harmonies.
A new song (that Plunger *think* was called Fly… but we can’t swear to it) had a different, more indie feel with an urgent beat and choppy electric guitar, but still strongly featuring those fabulous three part vocals. After the ‘shock of the new’ it was left to three stone cold classic Z&P anthems to close the set: introduced as the band’s big radio break song, and dedicated to the late Janice Long, the stirring melancholy epic of Cigar Store Indian with its plaintive harmonies and recorder-style synth; Living In A Small Town, another Mitchell-style intricate mix of changing moods and rhythms with jazz and latin hints; and the Youngian chug and vulnerable high vocals of Hotel Bible.
A two song encore led out fittingly with a very echt cover of Mr Young’s Old Man delivered with the right blend of punch and fragility, followed by another new song the country-tinged Better Days, a message of hope for the future that no one could disagree with!
A truly corking show as always from Zervas & Pepper: if you like classy well-wrought songs there’s no one writing better out there today, and they are of course unrivalled when it comes to eye-wateringly exquisite use of those sublime vocal harmonies…

Top five movie/show reboots or remakes that were clearly worse than the original?
Ooo this is an interesting one. I don’t know about top 5 but these are just a few that come to mind atm:
- Cruella. I think it’s a bad adaptation of 101 Dalmatians but that’s because it’s barely an adaptation. It’s more like au fanfiction where the characters are ooc but the author tries to pull a clever twist at the end connecting it to canon and it just does not work. But I had a pretty good time with it and Emma Stone slays
- Dora and the Lost City of Gold (an obscure one, I know HAHA). It was just very decent and felt like a Nickelodeon original movie that somehow made it to theatres (which I guess it is). I’ve only seen it once but I remember it being fun in that head-empty way
- The Amazing Spider-Man. I love Andrew’s spidey, I really do, but his spider-man movies are pretty bad and his acting and chemistry with Emma Stone really holds up the films. But he does hold them up well. I love scenes and moments from tasm (like the scene where Peter helps the boy in the car) but it’s a huge mess of hanging threads and mediocre villains. But even if I’m a firm believer that there’s an over-saturation of superhero films, I really hope he gets to complete his trilogy with a set of good writers because he deserves it
- Solo a Star Wars story. I know there’s a substantial amount of people who had a good time with this one and I’m one of them. I thought it was a fun little space adventure with fun little characters. Nowhere as good as the original but, fun
- idk, one of the home alone movies following kids other than Kevin but not the newest one on Disney plus because I didn’t see it and heard it was bad
