all the pics of garrix on the grid show that he was primarily sticking with lando, and had quick greetings with max and daniel - both of whom he's known much longer than lando. idk why im having feelings about it https://www.motorsportimages.com/photos/?race_type_id=54&sort=order_taken&p=27

when I tell you I'm convinced their world travelling was actually their honeymoon

nah but they met and they soul-bonded fr fr

I was tagged by @cleric4vampire and @bhaalsdeepbat, thank you! I was also tagged by @dragon--sage in a slightly different but very similar game, I hope this suffices, thank you for tagging me!

WIP 1

“Bathing for the second time today, while fully clothed, in the middle of the night?”

Henri clicked her tongue, still seemingly determined to pretend this was perfectly normal behavior, “Yep. Also...laundry.”

WIP 2

“The wizard didn’t teach you how to lockpick, now, did he?”

“Yeah, but wizards can do big things like walls of fire. A wall of fire could kill like...twenty vampires.”

Did I tell my mom this morning that wastewater levels confirm not only is our state still in the pandemic (which she previously denied in order to defend "family" members not masking) but is in fact steadily worsening? Yes, yes I did. Not that it'll change much to her but I'll be fucked if she regularly acts like I'm being absurd without saying shit when she's not only endorsing regularly endangering the entire household but also factually incorrect.

#chaos is speaking #ableism #if you're thinking she just went 'hmm thats crazy' #n changed the subject #you'd be correct #bitch called me crazy n paranoid #AND told the whole house I was imagining #that they'd caught n given me covid #but thinks I'm just going to forget it #yeah sure #ill forget it when I'm dead lol

Taking inspiration from @celticbotanart, while I don't have the brain to put together a full list of Ecclectic Halloween music that I like, I do have a couple.

The Men That Will Not Be Blamed For Nothing - This House Is Not Haunted

I've only just discovered this, it's not anything I'd usually listen to, but it reminds me a lot of the kind of things I was listening to in the early 2000's. The video is a great mini horror movie, and the first verse sets the vibe for the whole song

This house was built where the scaffold once stood The wainscoting was made of old gallows wood The shutters rattle and the water pipes moan The floorboards creek and the rafters groan Trees -tap tap- on the window pane And the whole thing rocks in the wind, and rain

Charming Disaster - Blacksnake

I've listened to this entirely too much since I first heard it as the weather on WTNV, one of the few weather forecasts I've ever looked up. It's more rituals than spooks, but I think it fits.

The scarab on my pillow whispers vespers as I sleep You saved me from the sparrows, now my soul is yours to keep Come morning we awaken to a garnet colored sky The mirror cracked and broken making Xes of my eyes

---

I'm sure I like more Halloweeny songs, if I remember them I'll add them to the list.

#Ecclectic Halloween playlist #if you guessed Tom de Ville as the reason I found the first song #you'd be correct #he directed the video #which also stars Neil Newbon #so there you go #Youtube

Turn and face the strange changes

“What you have to understand is, I have two lodestones, Ted and David Bowie, and at any given moment, it’s hard to say which is better suited to a world infested with zombies,” Beard said quite conversationally, as if they were making small talk at a small sort of place, like the produce section of a bodega or the snacks table at a PTA meeting, if Lauren’s descriptions of the latter venue were held to be accurate. “Also, I’m an ex-con.”

“Also?” Grace said.

“Ex-con?” Joel said. He narrowed his eyes, but Grace could tell that Beard’s disclosure was something Joel considered as a possible asset as much as a strike against the man.

“Who’s David Bowie? Is he related to Ted?” Ellie asked. She’d been hanging out at the other end of the mess hall, around the resurrected foosball table, which was why they’d started having what Grace would have called an “adult conversation” but now all bets were off.

“Oh, you sweet summer child,” Beard said.

“She didn’t know Linda Ronstadt either,” Joel offered.

“To be fair, there’s a good chance Ellie wouldn’t have known either without cordyceps or Fedra,” Grace said.

“I’m here, you don’t have to talk about me in the third person like I’m not,” Ellie said.

“Sorry,” Grace replied. Neither of the men appeared to be bothered by her remark.

“Whatever,” Ellie said and walked away, more a lope than a stalk, which was likely motivated more by Ellie sighting Araceli and Meg than by Grace’s apology, but Grace wasn’t about to argue with the relative lack of teen vitriol. She knew Ellie’s intermittent snappish retorts about inconsequential things were a good sign, that it meant she was having something that resembled a normal adolescence, but it could be exhausting and certainly Grace herself would never have been allowed to speak to her parents or any elder relative the way Ellie did.

“I’m only alive because of Ted,” Beard said. “I wouldn’t have left England except for him, but Jane and I weren’t speaking and he was so damn worried about Henry—”

“His boy,” Joel said. He didn’t mention Jane because he wouldn’t have wanted to be asked about Tess, Grace thought. Or maybe it was because Grace was sitting next to him, his arm draped across the back of her chair, and as often as not, she slept in one of his tee-shirts, while Jane was beyond any reach, any sea rendered uncrossable, even if she’d escaped infection and survived the aftermath. It was easier to talk about Henry, with Ellie laughing across the room with her friends.

“We didn’t find him,” Beard said. “Been looking for years. Jackson’s a breather for us, if you will.”

“Ted won’t give up hope,” Grace said.

“No. He has. He humors me, so we keep searching. We spent a few weeks with a Shakespeare rep troupe outside Chicago because we’d heard they had a young kid with them, but turned out to be a girl,” Beard said. “I would have made a fetching Mustardseed, but they were pretty invested in Hamlet. At least it wasn’t Lear, for Ted’s sake.”

“Why do you do it?” Grace asked.

“Because Ted won’t make it otherwise,” Joel said surprising Grace. Beard nodded and suddenly looked old and a little wise. Grace really hoped he wasn’t going to pivot and tell them how to make toilet wine. Have a little faith, dead-Lauren said. She had a soft spot for Beard, largely because of his willingness to read every Maeve Binchy in the Jackson library, alternating with their far more meager collection of Neo-Platonists.

“Ted’s broken,” Beard said, his lisp more pronounced, as if he were speaking some truth that required his purest voice to utter. “If he doesn’t have someone to push him and coax him and hell, coach him to keep going, he’ll stop. Lie down and die. He won’t ever let a friend down, so if I say we should keep looking, that there’s still a chance to find Henry, he won’t argue. He goes along and I go along and it’s something like a life. Sometimes it’s just the two of us and sometimes we find some people like yourselves to rest a while with.”

“How long do you plan to stay?” Joel asked. It was a good question and he asked it in a way that made Grace wonder about his own plans. Whether Jackson was home or Ellie or the three of them. Whether Jackson was a refuge or a pit-stop.

There was always the question of Ellie’s arm, about the potential she held within her, and what it would take to release it. At least, it was a question for Grace. She was pretty sure Joel had answered it for himself, in a way he could never risk altering.

“The truth is, of course, that there is no journey. We are arriving and departing all at the same time,” Beard said. Once upon a time, this man had coached a professional sport team. It boggled the mind.

“Bowie,” Joel said. Beard smiled as broadly as Grace had ever seen him.

“But really, how long?” Grace pressed.

“Well, you don’t serve regular English tea in your coffee-house,” Beard began.

“No one can get it anymore,” Grace said. Protested? Was she trying to encourage them? Are you? dead-Lauren said. They’re a pair of odd ducks but then, that’s all that’s left.

Joel said nothing, stone-faced as he was wont to be when something mattered too much or not at all.

“You mistake me, milady,” Beard replied. “It’s a point in your favor. Ted hates English tea. Won’t drink the stuff to save his life, which has never actually been a situation we’ve found ourselves in, but I’m still confident of the outcome. He’s less offended by the herbal tisanes and the chicory and he likes the cider. You’re short on mulling spices but who isn’t these days?”

“Who indeed?” Joel said, playing it straight, making Beard laugh.

“I knew you had it in you, friend,” Beard said. “You can call me Willis, but don’t let it get around. There’s an urban legend I’m trying to nurture about being called Beard since I was born—”

“How can you start an urban legend these days?” Grace asked.

“With impunity. Fedra helps,” Beard answered.

“How?” Joel said.

“They told so many lies, people’ll believe anything, especially if it’s inconsequential and reminds them of when the world wasn’t this version of shithole hellscape,” Beard said. “We all do our part.”

what i wanna know is how wizards Has evil-aligned gods anyway, when gods are on celestial aka good-aligned planes

oh boy. yeah don't get me started lmfao. the explanation seems to be that gods have free will to choose their own morality... whereas demons. Don't. which is... an existential crisis in waiting, one assumes. however these days most evil gods live on outer planes that almost exclusively house other evil gods - planes nobody ever goes to or talks about like gehenna and hades. some of them also directly live in the Hells or the Abyss, for shits and giggles i guess.

dagon even lives in the plane of elemental water, but he's. neither a demon lord nor a god nor a great old one but also all of those at once so. that's fine 👌

if you want to be REALLY angry, and you know Anything At All about real-world mythos, look up the canon alignments that wizards of the coast gave to real gods in their setting lmfao. some of them are so off-base they're Offensive XD

#what does the chaos mirror see #anon #time flows differently in the queue #you may be gleaning from my posts that a lot of d&d's cosmology lore is a mess #you'd be Correct #however i will point out that there Are also neutral celestial planes. just not a lot #and Technically devils are just evil-aligned celestials cos they're Boring lmfao

Santa

"If you assholes actually think I'm going to wear a Santa costume, you are sorely mistaken."

"But Mav," Slider smirked, looking at Tom sidelong as Tom grinned and Pete got the impression he'd just been trapped but wasn't sure how yet, "You're such a hoe."

No, I'm still not ok with Certain Comments and how we weren't allowed to call people out on their bs. Like, come on, you've only got one god, Cassandra, surely there's plenty of room for you to adopt some more?

you say machete has to be closeted then why's he always wearing them little heels

Maybe he thinks he's a tiny bit nicer looking in them.

#no in fact he's just a little ahead of the curve let me try to explain #again I'm not a historian I'm just sharing what I've read I might be misremembering stuff so don't quote me on this #high heels became extremely fashionable in the early 1600's probably just a few decades after Machete's time #and they were originally worn by men #because they were inspired by Persian riding boots #if your shoes had heels you'd have easier time keeping your feet in the stirrups (think of cowboy boots) #Europeans saw them thought they looked snazzy and they became wildly popular in noble circles fairly quickly #for some hundred years or so high heels were the epitome of class wealth power and status and they were essentially genderless #remember that concepts of masculinity and femininity are fluid and change over time #things that were seen as manly a few centuries ago may seem downright effeminate to a modern viewer #it's all matter of perspective neither is objectively more correct than the other #they started to separate into men's heels and women's heels around mid 1700's iirc but the changes weren't massive even then #and only truly went out of vogue when the French Revolution hit in 1789 #and people all across the continent were suddenly put off by everything that reminded them #of the frivolousness and extravagance of royalty and aristicracy #so in his canon timeline I don't think people are looking at him and going “hmmm that's pretty gay” #because heels hadn't become gendered yet #maybe he likes how they accentuate his already tiny paws and make his legs look even longer than they are #he's interested in fashion or at least likes to dress nicely in high quality garments #he tries very hard to look his best despite never really feeling comfortable in his skin #he was a real shrimp as a kid and even though he eventually grew up to be a beanpole he might still find the extra height appealing #no one's going to look down on him ever again #I admit the way I draw them is a lot more modern than the true historical style at the time but not outrageously so #artistic freedom and all that in the end I'm not aiming for 100% accuracy #modern au Machete has no excuses though he's just a little bit fruity #if the guy feels empowered by wearing little clip cloppers let him #answered #anonymous #Machete
