hey hella here's my ethel cain commentary, songs in no particular order it's just my faves I had thoughts on. also my favorite song is strangers and my favorite album was preacher's daughter

a house in nebraska: love this one, the yearning is insane, don't know why bbgirl picked nebraska though. you could pick a state anywhere in the midwest and you pick nebraska? like I get it's for the Vibes but was there no other state that properly captured the Vibes? also it could just be the brainrot talking but this song is sooo [REDACTED] (the "house in nebraska" being the [REDACTED] ofc)

sun bleached flies: "god loves you, but not enough to save you." god loves you, but not enough to save you. god loves you, but not enough to save you. god loves you, but NOT ENOUGH TO SAVE YOU. GOD LOVES YOU, BUT NOT ENOUGH TO- anyway. ethel cain unrelease this. ethel cain put this thing back where it came from or so help me

western nights: I just really like this one. it's a really pretty song. until you look up the lyrics. naturally.

american teenager: "I don't need anything from anyone, It's just NOT MY YEAR, BUT I'M ALL GOOD OUT HERE! SAY WHAT YOU WANT, BUT SAY IT LIKE YOU MEAN IT WITH YOUR FISTS FOR ONCE!!!" love this song love this song love this song

hard times: this one is so heartbreaking, I hear this and my mood takes an instant cliff dive. it's almost as bad for my mental state as your saddest great achievement by lucy eaton. I don't even have daddy issues. also the thing you said about this apparently being about sa makes this so much worse when I listen to it and instinctively go "oh this is so [blorbo with daddy issues]" and then I remember it's about sa and I feel uncomfortable and I'm like "oh it's not THAT serious for the blorbo though ://" it sounds very general though so it'll probably still make it onto blorbo playlists

inbred: you were so right about this song using lyricism most artists would shy away from, "pissing on the stove to put it out" "sucking on the back of his leg to stay warm" "touch me till i vomit" this is such a Gross song (affectionate) I love this one so much

head in a wall: something about the guitar chords in this one appeals to me so much. it feels familiar? classic? idk but I like it

golden age: all I have to say is miss cain maybe should take this one back too methinks

crush: "LOW SLUNG BAD BITCH BABY COME AND GET YOU SOME" this slaps. no notes.

strangers: "I tried to be good, am I no good? am I no good? am I no good? with my memory restricted to a polaroid in evidence, I just wanted to be yours, can I be yours? can I be yours? just tell me I'm yours, if I'm turning in your stomach and I'm making you feel sick" :(((( I am obsessed with this one it's so everything to me, it makes me insane. especially the cannibalism part bc I love weird shit in songs (also I think I have a slight fascination with cannibalism and I think it's bc I read a book about the donner party at 12) also there's something about how the lyrics at the end are listed as "mama just know that I love you (I do)" but no matter what I try to hear it sounds like she's saying "mama just know that I love you (and I lied to you)" but anyway the way she's being devoured by her lover? the mommy issues? the winn dixie name drop? she went off with this one

ptolmaea: I love this song it's so distressing. I need more Evil Music that is an Actively Harmful Listening Experience. very cathartic. however, I listen to music when just like. doing dishes and shit. I can't have my hands in dirty dishwater and be hearing "make it stop make it stop make it stop stop stop stop stop stop STOP AAAAAAHHHHH" however, it probably would be good to listen to when I'm sitting in my hammock in the woods, if I wanted to feel like I was in a found footage horror movie

family tree (intro): "jesus can always reject his father, but he can not escape his mother's blood" "swinging by my neck from the family tree" I'm so. I'm sooo. I'm eating drywall. I'm gonna stick my hand in a wood chipper. I'm gonna shove my head in the dirt. what the fuck. I love when people interpret jesus as a complicated figure. I don't fuck with christianity but from a narrative and artistic standpoint there is. so much. also you bringing [REDACTED] into this makes me feel so mentally ill

also I wrote all of this before looking up the lyrics on genius and shit got twice as interesting for the preacher's daughter album when I looked it up. what the fuck. I love narratives

real ones know that this ask and the journey it went on entitles rori to every horrible mean thing she says to me. i deserve it

#YOURE SO REAL FOR THE GOLDEN AGE AND CRUSH RECOGNITION DO YOU STILL LOVE ME BESTIE IM SORRY #also tams was initially gonna be titled after a family tree lyric. insanity #every [REDACTED] here is beyond valid for reasons we have EXHAUSTED thanks to aiaia's bullying #ask #ethel cain

Timeloop au snippet

Lucien had always been quick, but in his own territory, rattled to the point of a constant knives edge since Feyre’s kidnapping, Tamlin was quicker. Snapping the door shut, wards of the house slamming down, containing them all in one place. “Lucien.” Nesta’s hand slid beneath his shirt, gesture hidden, aligned to the scarred skin of his back in silent apology. “Tam,” Lucien swallowed. “I can explain.” Flowers blooming in his eyes- a lord of becoming, a lord of mad folly, Lucien’s friend of centuries, torn apart trying to rescue the woman he loved from what he knew to be only one of the most feared creatures in Prythian. Slowly, Tamlin sank back against the door, furious expression muddling into a muted horror. Both palms pressed over his eyes, he said, in a gentle sort of voice Lucien had frankly forgotten he was even capable of. “You’re her sister. The one she wrote to.” “Yes.” Steel in the word, but also- Nesta slid out from behind him in exaggerated human slowness, coming back onto her feet to raise her chin in what read, to faery eyes, as warning. “And I wrote back. Lucien answered.” Unreadable, Tamlin dropped his hands to stare at her. “Did he?” “Tam”- “My sister loves you,” Nesta said, right over Lucien. “So much so we let her go again, because she could not bare a world where she had not tried to save you. I couldn’t reach out, not to you, not after all that happened to her. But I couldn’t stand not knowing if she was alright.” With his real guilt, Lucien fell into his role. “They deserved to know,” Lucien told him, quiet, unable to stop himself from smiling, just a little, at her unwavering expression. Tamlin caught it. Of course he did- Lucien was an excellent liar, but he wasn’t even trying. “And now,” he said, tipping his head between them, “You”- “Yes.” Nesta said. The High Lord of Spring heaved a sigh, scent of roses rising through the air. Tired, stricken- but then he smiled. “You cannot be blamed for that.”

#the timeloop is about an incredible number of things #including my feeding my brain every au possible #Tamlin finding human Nesta in Lucien's bed?#immediately swinging from what the fuck to horror to #WE HAVE TO HIDE THIS LADY #classic Tam as canon erased my babes #Also Tamlin: Lucien is...in love...with this random hot human? Yeah sounds about right. Archeron's are intensely lovable. yep yep yep #ALSO TAMLIN: okay okay okay I will get rid of Hybern you hide and then we have to fine the other sister and then..dinner? humans need food.#Do you like to paint? Are you warm enough? WHAT DO YOU MEAN THERE'S A DEAD ILLYRIAN IN YOUR HOUSE?#Nesta:#Lucien (kind of dying inside): ... half a dead Illyrian? actually? if we're being specific my lord #listen is Tamlin a MESS?#yes #does he fuck up horribly with Feyre? yes #he's garbage #but he's REALISTICALLY FUCKED UP and constantly trying his best in a world that keeps violently destroying his chances #the mans guilt complex has to be epic #Nesta has already committed one murder this loop and she's never gotten to meet Ianthe before #something something tiny lil Nesta being the violent one in ALL versions #in my notes loop 30 is called RAMPAGE LOOP #No grave can hold my body down #a finale that goes out with a bang in every sense

He thought he’d loved as much as he ever could. And yet, in front of him, there was more love in the world than he’d ever expected there to be. He didn’t know if he’d ever be able to speak again.

--Tam Song, from Nancy Mulligan, a one shot based on the song by Ed Sheeran

Is there such a thing as a crack ship if the fandom is six people? Asking for no particular reason *brushes a zanna/jodie shaped lump under the carpet*

#rangnar rambles #jodie is tams gf who rightfully thought he was cheating with zanna #and proceeded to call zanna beautiful in the same sentence sooo <- delusional #i love also when i preceed all my posts with 'hey guys do you remember this character we spoke to twice?#yeah im obsessed with them' content for the main cast? oh no sorry i dont do that <3 #this is particularly in the context of david/tam alongside zanna/jodie #not in a 'WE MUST PAIR EVERYONE. NO ONE LEFT BEHIND!!!!' way but in a 'oh boy a chance for a wlw ship in this hell!'#look im the guy who thinks russ and bergstorm are married what do you want from me #i do like tam/david/zanna but she fr hates these men 80% of the time and i think she deserves a little break <3 #i finished the fire eternal again if you couldnt tell 💀#gimme 2 days and a coffee and ill have a personality for jodie extrapolated from crumbs and dust 🫡#this is a joke i will be taking too seriously. which i suppose is the entire definition of a crackship

There's no pain more unique than realizing that someone you used to care so deeply for no longer cares about you the way you still care about them, I think.

#tam talks #we were never quite in love mind you so i won't say that #but i dunno man just realizing that you could tell someone the same thing so many times and they won't remember it hurts #when you used to be so close and shared some of the most vulnerable parts of yourself with them #i don't still feel romantically about them but like... damn

Every otaku producer on any at least decently-sized project is chained to very BIG MONEY merch contracts. Merch sales are one of the biggest cogs making the anime industry run and because of that, merch manufacturers expect producers not to allow anything that would make their products fail to reflect the contents of the show.

A recent example that sparked controversy about this is the new Tokyo Mew Mew reboot anime. Mew Mew is a series where pretty much everyone important has food names, but the early scanlators failed to notice how far this motif extended and rendered Quiche's name as Kisshu. This is spread in the fandom enough to make merch makers assume that was the proper way to spell his name in English and produce pins with the name Kisshu written in Roman letters. Thanks to that, over a decade later, the Mew Mew translator on Crunchyroll subs is forced to use Kisshu on her script despite knowing it's wrong.

But this is a Type-Moon post, so let's talk about Type-Moon instead. On October 29th, 2010, Nasu released Fate/complete material III, containing profiles for all Servants featured in Fate/stay Night. In his lack of English knowledge, he most likely relied on Google to learn how to romanize all those names. This generated two curious results: Arthuria was rendered as Altria, as the first search result for アルトリア would be the cigarette corporation, and Rider favored the French spelling Medousa over the English Medusa.

Flash forward to May 25th, 2016. At this year, Fate/Grand Order had already been released and proved itself a commercial success against all odds. In celebration of that, FuRyu Corporation sculpted the source of all evil.

FuRyu's figure utilized the erroneous "Altria" from Complete Material III. Here is where I want you to notice that FuRyu did not release a Medusa figure alongside it. "Altria Pendragon" is the only character in this collection.

Our next chronological stop is August 14, 2016. Merely 3 months after the FuRyu Altria figure began to spread its corruption through all we know and love. That's the day Fate/Grand Order Material I came out, containing profiles for Saber Arthuria and Medusa.

As you can see in the right corner, Medousa is no more. Due to having 6 more years to learn things and no merch contract forever chaining him to his spelling mistake, Nasu had the opportunity to correct Medusa's name, which also settled it as the name FGO NA legally had to go with.

So when I say FGO NA translators went with Tam Lin because it's literally illegal not to do so, I am talking about

Everyone Loves a 2-for-1 Sale Part 3

Part 1 & 2 (And original Prompt)

The dining room was suspiciously quiet for a Wayne breakfast when Danny walked in.

He glanced up from his phone, pulling one earbud out, “Oh feel free to continue arguing my morality like I’m an object, my music’s on full volume.”

Dick looked uncomfortable, “We weren’t-Look, Ti- Danny, we are just a bit curious as to why you’re…. here,” Dick finished, glancing at the others like asking if they’d share the plate of batguilt-fries with him.

“Surely the world could have done without a second Drake,” Damian cut in before Danny could even start.

“And we could have done without even one of you, yet here you are,” Danny glared, “Factory defects and all.”

Damian jerked upwards with a raised knife, narrowly pushed back down by Dick.

Danny rolled his eyes, turning his attention back to his phone-Tim’s phone-their phone. He held a folded paper out to Bruce with two fingers, still typing, “I have a list, if you want it.”

He continued typing as they opening the note and read it, he knew what it said.

To Do in Gotham:

1. Get to Gotham

2. Find original - don’t freak family out

3. -Find- Talk to Bruce

4. Convince Vicki Vale that Tim is/ actually engaged to Tam Fox

5. Get safe house

6. New identity? (what do clones do? - ask Connor)

9. Leave?

“What’s number seven and eight?” Dick asked, and Danny actively made sure his typing pattern didn’t change.

“Don’t know yet,” He answered with a shrug, the picture of nonchalance. Bruce probably didn’t believe him.

Didn’t matter. Dick did. Because Dick felt guilty.

Bat guilty.

About time he believed him about something.

And Danny didn’t care about Damian’s opinions one way or another.

He stepped away from the table, plopping another grape in his mouth as he walked past, “Welp that’s it for me, busy day, fake engagement, gotta find some crutches because I don’t think Vicki will accept my ‘you got new legs Lieutenant Dan-ny’ joke, all that,”

Danny slipped out the door past a sleep-deprived Tim with a jaunty salute, “All’s well in Clone Town!”

Danny kept walking, his brain running miles ahead of him, Ted Tobin steering the wheel with his fingers on the keypad of his phone as he moved forward and mentally filled in the list.

Number 7: Find Ra’s Al Ghul and the Lazarus pits.

Number 8: Stabilize yourself.

Danny continued up the stairs. He had people to see and rings to buy. Busy is the life of a saboteur.

—

Red Robin watched his clone linger in the jeweler’s store, trying to keep the frown from taking over his whole face.

He was making Tim’s life difficult. Tim suspected it was on purpose.

Largely because people would ask way too many questions if two Tim Drakes showed up in Gotham at the same time.

Hence, Red Robin being relegated to rooftop surveillance.

He turned his attention back to the clone, watching as he left the shop and turned down the street. Red Robin swept after him, following from above.

The clone remained focused on his phone- which was also Tim’s by the way, and stolen- as he walked down the street, turning into an alley without even looking up.

Tim tilted his head and swung to the rooftop, peering into the darkness.

“You could always just come down and actually talk to me, you know?”

Tim dropped into the alley, unsurprised to come face to face with the clone. It was weird to see his own face look so annoyed by him.

“Thought it was best to stay out of sight. We’re not exactly a daylight hero.”

Danny rolled his eyes, “Already annoyed with Vicki Vale?”

Tim nearly growled, “That is your fault,”

“Oh come on, you can’t tell me it’s not hilarious.”

“You’ve spent all morning in ring shops! I have meetings!”

“Lucius can handle them. It’s not like we actually did anything this last year anyways.”

Tim stared at him for a second, confusion in the squint of his eyes and laced with suspicion.

Danny groaned with a roll of his eyes, “Fine, you want me to stay put somewhere so you can do your civilian thing?”

“Yes.”

“I am not staying in the manor. You can’t make me.”

Dread filled him as Tim smiled, “Not a problem.”

Danny glared at Tim standing arms wide in the center of the room of his emptiest safe house, “This is so not what I meant and you know it.”

Tim’s face betrayed nothing, “Look, none of us are happy with this situation-“

Danny scoffed. Understatement of the century.

“But..” Tim continued with a pointed look, “It’s my fault, and I get that. So…compromise? You stay here, work on cold cases while I sort out my current job, and when I’m done, we’ll figure out what to do, okay?”

Danny sighed, feeling Ted Tobin stir to life with plans already forming.

“Fine.”

Tim nodded succinctly, reaching for a laptop and multiple cords, “Ok, here’s my old computer, -huh, I could have sworn that had a different charger- anyways- I’ll take this,” he plucks the phone from Danny’s hands in one smooth motion, giving a mocking smile in return to Danny’s glare, “Thank you very much, now I just have to-and find the guy who…”

Tim’s voice tapers off into mumbles as he heads into the bedroom to peel off his suit, fingers focused on the keypad of his newly reacquired phone.

Danny slumps himself down on the secondhand couch, dust echoing around him. This was fine, he could do stuff in the meanwhile, maybe help Tim with his case -or solve it himself, he bets he could- and then finish the new specs for the suit wings that Danny’s suit still didn’t have.

Tim fumbled through the doorway, now in civilian clothes, already on a call with Lucius probably, or Tam. Tam helped him a lot.

Danny slouched further into the silence.

It felt like being left behind by his parents.

They had bigger priorities.

Archaeology.

Ghosts.

Danny shook his head, opening the computer and letting Ted Tobin fish through the passwords for case files.

He’s nearly 3 hours deep when he really pauses for the first time, finally stopping the continuous notes sitting next him, each a different clue. Most for different cases.

The current case pulled up on his screen scratches at him, facts slotting into place with rapid fire precision.

The officer assigned to the case is a vet.

The case is perpetrated by a senatorial candidate.

The officer assigned served on three active fronts and 2 undisclosed.

The guilty candidate is running support for a bill cutting veteran supports.

Best of all?

It’s not in Gotham.

Danny smiles as Ted Tobin’s plan fills in, piece by piece.

—

Ra’s Al Ghul should really make it harder to hack into his confidential back market mercenary dealings.

Then again, maybe it was for the better. How else would he make sure Red Robin was able to intercept the assassin in time to save that poor officer’s life the night before his case-closing arrest?

—

“Detective, I assumed holding my business outside of Gotham would keep it from being the concern of you and yours,” Ra’s’ voice is muffled through the bag over his head, “It seems I was wrong.”

“Oh well, you know me…,” The bag is ripped roughly off his head, leaving him blinking rapidly against the light even as he smirks, “Always butting into things when I shouldn’t. It’s kind of what we do.”

“Tell me, Timothy,” Ra’s says, turning his back to him once more, as he waves his ninjas away, “What does this officer matter to you, more than a state away from your usual stomping grounds? What-“ Ra’s pauses as a different ninja approaches him to whisper in his ear. His body stills.

“Well, we’ll start there. First of all, as I’m sure you just found out, I’m not Timothy,” Danny says, standing up smoothly. He relishes the look Ra’s gives him as he turns around. “And secondly, the officer wasn’t what mattered. Getting you here on the other hand. Now that.. that takes a little more planning.” Danny brushes himself off, removing the cowl to leave just his own domino behind.

Ra’s al Ghul hums, his eyebrow twitching up even as his eyes narrow in suspicion.

“What? No sudden desire to stab? No impromptu attempt to put a sword through my chest?”

“You are curious. So much like the detective, and yet… my people tell me he is currently patrolling in Gotham with the Grayson boy.”

Danny scoffs, “Oh great, another fruit loop interested in me, like I need a new one of those.”

Ra’s’ stare doesn’t change. Albeit a bit more annoyed, but still flat and calm.

“You wanna know what makes me different from Timothy, Ra’s?” Danny pauses, taking a deep breath and letting the ectoplasm ripple inside him for the first time in months. “The difference between me and him,” When he looks up he knows his eyes glow fluorescent green, “Is that I’m stronger.”

—

Bonus Scene:

Dick stared at Tim’s clone as he left, sweeping past the original’s bleary form stumbling to the coffee machine.

“Are we sure he’s Drake’s clone? He seems… less of a fool,” Damian sneered, watching Tim stand listlessly in front of the cabinet, coffeemaker off, and tablet in hand.

He looked out of the Dining room doors, spotting Danny standing not far away in front of one of the closets by the stairs rather than the actual steps, fingers tapping away.

Damian turned back to his breakfast, “I retract my statement. Clearly his stupidity was simply blinding.”

Keefe and Tam just being bros

Also maybe a hair competition

Keefe and Tam Hair Bro Headcanons? -t1sb

mmm yes

these two are idiots. hate each other for the longest time.

Something shifts, at some point, and one of them starts to notice how much they have in common. Maybe it's Tam singing a song Keefe likes to himself as he walks down the hallway. Maybe it's Keefe saying exactly what Tam was thinking in a meeting. Maybe it's them getting shoved into a situation where they have to get along. But whatever it is, they take a step towards each other, and then bam.

Bam.

This is friendship like no one else has ever seen it.

Fitz and Keefe were childhood friends, they based their friendship on liking the same things, going to the same school, all that jazz. As they got older, it took hard work to keep them on good terms, and their friendship took a lot of blows it couldn't absorb over the years. Keefe isn't great at communicating with Fitz, and Fitz is a wreck, who relies really heavily on his sister and on Sophie, more than he relies on Keefe. Mostly because Childhood friends aren't always the best adult friends. But Fitz and Keefe work at it, and their friendship survives, and gets stronger after Keefe starts dating Sophie, because Fitz finally figures out what the pain in his friend's eyes was.

But that's nothing like Keefe and Tam's friendship. They're a friendship of pure choice. It's a slow snowball effect into friendship, and the first time Keefe calls Tam when he wakes up screaming is the first night Tam realizes that he loves his friend. Like, really truly, wholly and platonically, he'd die for Keefe.

It's an odd character progression, but it's a good one. He talks his best friend through a panic attack, and Keefe's heavy breathing goes normal slowly. When Keefe hangs up, he realizes, almost wonderingly, that you can have two best friends.

Because Sophie's his best friend. He's known she is for years. She's been a constant support and someone he'd live and die for all at the same time. But there's a difference between that and how Tam is to him. First of all, he'd never want to kiss Tam like he wants to kiss Sophie. Second of all, Tam almost understands him in a different way. A way that boys understand boys, a straightforward, relatable, uncomplicated way. Just like girls understand girls, in a backhanded, complicated, fraught and dangerous way. Tam understood the workings of Keefe's mind like Fitz had, but stronger, almost.

Maybe it was just that Tam really, really, really tried to understand. Tried to meet him where he was at and say the right things. Keefe had noticed that. Tam was deliberate, with his words, and when he said something, he always thought it through and meant it.

Keefe could appreciate the honesty.

Tam invited Keefe over to Solreef, a lot, after Keefe had mentioned not liking his own house all that much. Tam hoped that Keefe didn't think it was pity. Keefe doesn't think it's pity. And besides, it's fun. There's food and laughter at Solreef, and there's his best friend. The third one he's ever had, one of the two he has right now, and it's great.

The two of them are idiots, together. They do stupid stuff, plan stupid escapades, throw things off of high places, climb trees and yell at each other. They're kids. They make each other feel like the kids they are, like the sixteen year olds they've always been. They don't have to grow up, be more than they are when they're around each other. What they are is enough.

There's inside jokes between them, and one of them is insulting each others' hair. The other always feigns horror, and it's just this funny routine the two of them do, and it's stupid and funny, and Sophie always rolls her eyes and Linh face palms and Biana laughs.

Tam really likes cooking, and Keefe is practically a pastry chef. They make first class food, and that's one thing the Keeper Crew really enjoys about Tam and Keefe getting along. Even when they're out on missions, the food is always amazing, and for some reason, it tastes better when two best friends work on it together.

Tam's been over to Keefe's house more times than Sophie has. Honestly, Keefe only really trusts Tam with being able to deal with the danger of being in his house. It's not that he trusts Tam more than Sophie, he just knows Tam can deal with hearing his father spit a few insults at him far better than Sophie can. Sophie would go on a murder streak. Tam just listens. Clenches his hands into fists. Watches his friend with a worried glance, but when Keefe doesn't talk about it, lets it slide. Tam knows exactly what it's like to love your parents but hate what they do to you.

Keefe went with Tam to Choralmere once. It was an experience, to say the least. Neither of them talk about how hard Tam's hands shook when he grabbed Linh's three books on Hydrokinesis she wanted, but was too afraid to go get herself. Neither of them talk about the broken glass of the family portrait that had clearly been on the floor of Linh's room for months.

Keefe does crack jokes about how bad Tam's hair looked in the pictures, though. Tam actually smiles, right as they leave. Miraculously, they managed to avoid his parents.

Honestly, Tam and Keefe getting over their hatred of each other was a huge step for both of them and self acceptance. Everything that they hated in each other was something they each hated in themselves, and to stop hating that in someone else made it harder to hate it in someone else. It made them better people, whether they wanted to or not, and the both of them love themselves more for loving each other.
