#Nara/Laurent

[tallysgreatestfan]

Nara and Laurent, when everything is over, going on a beautiful romantic date on a beach. They watch the sunset and cuddle in a beach chair – but Laurent has to pull sand out of his prostheses up to a week afterwards

2023 Recap - Songs from (QL) Dramas

I've been tagged by @troubled-mind to make a list of my favorites songs from this year's QL dramas (thank you so much 💕) and of course I can't resist. I liked a lot of music from shows this year, which is great but made the selection harder so it will be a little long, I hope you'll forgive me.

OST I've been milking in full

I don't very often go through full OST unless someone does a background music playlist i can put on (Like this one for La Pluie by troubled-mind, and this one for To Sir, With Love for example) but two stood out for me this year.

My School President OST - I knew in advance I would enjoy a musical show, and I have to say I was NOT disappointed. My favorite though is ฟัง by Fourth, Ford, Satang, Winny, and the fantastic Pijika Jittaputta. Have a go at the original too!

Unintentional Love Story OST - This one came late this year for me, but i have been listening to the whole thing again and again. My favorite is Beautiful Day by Cha Seowon. I really enjoy his voice a LOT, and I'm weak for a nice, so soft it's even a little mushy love ballad.

With those two out of the way, let's go through the list country by country I think.

From Thailand 🇹🇭

ลางสังหรณ์ by Teng Tachaya from The Sign

This one is just a banger! It literally rocks, and I keep belting out the chorus every single time i listen to it. I love everything about it, even the spoken words. Also, not music related, but that costume!!

เงา by Lazyloxy from Shadow

I like Lazyloxy's voice a lot, as well as the rhythm/bass line (?) during the verses. There is an edge in that song that fits the show very well, too.

พรุ่งนี้ by Ford Arun from Moonlight Chicken

Ford's voice, do I need to say more? Tbh I got a little teary the first (ten) time(s) I listen to it.This ballad is so very touching, it's gentle and hopeful, I can never tire of it.

Honorable mentions >

รักคุณยิ่งกว่าใคร by NuNew's cover of Got Jakraphan from Cutie Pie 2. I loved this one so much I got myself a video editor so I could post it there. Only honorable because it's a cover, but it got me into luk thung so it deserves to be here.

เพลง รักนี้มากับดวง by Bmine & Near from Lucky My Love. This one is just because it's goddamn cute, sweet and peppy, and it makes me smile and bop my head. Sometimes I don't ask for more.

From Japan 🇯🇵

U&I by Hi-Fi Unicorn from Kimi ni wa todokanai

It's just a perfectly crafted pop song imo. It's cute, fresh and lively, fitting the show perfectly too. Since it came out, you can catch me humming "kimi ni waaa todokanai hmm hmm hmm" all day, every day, so it deserves its place on the list!

Yoruwazura by osage feat Ishino Riko from Kimi to nara koi wo shite mite mo

This one got me the second Ishino Riko started singing. The harmonies between the two are SO good! I really like the guitar in this one, and the little claps in the background. It's also really easy to hum so it stays with me a lot.

Bitter by Royce from Utsukushii Kare season 2

The contrast between the energy of the melody and the nearly bored sound of the voice (the singer sounds like their mouth does not open fully) works reaaally well for me. It's catchy and fun, and well, the lyrics are just so perfectly Hira...

ふたたび Futatabi by HIROBA & Otsuka Ai from Bokura no micro na shuumatsu

I was very surprised when I saw it was a feat with Otsuka Ai (who I only knew for her sugary pop in early 2000). The melancholy of the lyrics and the melody are beautiful, I am a huge fan of the way their voices mesh together, and I can't resist a piano + violins combo like that.

Honorable mention > Go Sign by Billy Laurent from Ameiro Paradox. The little piano, the rhythm, that chorus, it makes me shake my ass every single time.

From Taiwan 🇹🇼

'痛苦擁抱 (Painful Hug) by Ozone from Oh No! Here Comes Trouble

(I won't hear anything about technicality and it being a QL show or not =3) Had not realized it was from a boy group before checking the clip for this list. I like the way the melody rises for the chorus, their voices are pleasant, and it carries both power and some sort of melancholy that reminds me very much of Pu Yiyong.

Honorable mention > Come With Me by K6 from Marry My Dead Body. The whole OST of that movie is great, but I somehow got completely obsessed by this one from the gym scene at the start. It also features Austin Lin (I think as backup on the chorus).

From Korea 🇰🇷

IoU by UTOPI from The New Employee

It's a sweet, simple one that never fails to put me in a good mood, and sometimes that's enough to listen to a song non stop over months =3

Natural by Young K from A Breeze of Love

This one is also sunny, light and joyful. I like the guitars and I am especially fond of Young K's voice - it got me looking into him which I do not regret. A nice little surprise for the end of the year.

Thank you if you made it all the way through it, otherwise...

Tl;dr you can find all songs under this playlist (´꒳`)♡

i'm not sure who would have fun doing this, maybe @iguessitsjustme if you fancy it? Anyone who see this and want to do it, please tag me so I can have a look at your faves! <3

[beedok]

Sen. Nara Oxham: "Okay, so does everyone have their proposal for a third book ready? Yes? Good. I propose 'The Living Future', covering the Empire's civil war and eventual democratic future."

Cpt. Laurent Zai: "I helped."

Nara: "Yes, thank you sweetie. Now, Emperor, you have a proposal?"

The Risen Emperor: "I do. It's a prequel. 'The Rising Empire'. All about how I built the Empire and the religion around me."

Nara: "... I suppose I should not be surprised. Er, h_rd and Alexander?"

H_rd: "Here."

Laurent: "You already finished it? That's... ummm... this looks like gibberish?"

Alexander: "Actually, it's code to awaken Amazon.com earlier and with a more stable outlook on life."

Nara: "That... isn't really what we're looking for. Admiral, you seem excited about yours?"

Adm. Rencer Fowler IX: "Indeed. It's about my career, mostly during the Imperial Civil War. Very action packed, you toss me on the cover. Then we call it 'Fowler the Ninth' and it's a guaranteed sell in the current market."

Nara: "That may be true, but it might also risk some angry lawyers."

Rencer: "Hey! I came first!"

The Emperor: "Well, what about a book about my house arrest on Home? We could call it 'Home Stu-'"

Nara: "No."

I don’t see anything wrong with that If you wanna do something, go for it and do it It’s totally okay If you wanna stop then take a break and stop it It’s totally okay Nothing wrong with that 24/7 Ballin’ It’s totally okay Nothing wrong with that I know, yeah

Even you were to get dissed for being you, it’s not like you could pretend to be me then, yeah? You don’t want others’ judgements to decide you, but sometimes it’s hard to not care and feel down about it, right? People used to rave about that weekly magazine, but they found a new one and act like it’s the first they’ve seen Other peoples’ scandals are always the most spicy How about putting that attention toward your own outfit? (“I don’t care about what so-and-so did”) Wearing Saint Laurent Denim and a plain white tee (If you hate the present, tomorrow won’t be any better) Knowing what kind’a person you wanna be is really what you need Now Or Never – prove to the world you can be the real you, and we’ll win in spades You’ll regret not taking that step forward Yeah yeah yeah

I don’t see anything wrong with that If you wanna do something, go for it and do it It’s totally okay If you wanna stop then take a break and stop it It’s totally okay Nothing wrong with that 24/7 Ballin’ It’s totally okay Nothing wrong with that I’m only gonna tell you once

Their eyes are on you, but who is this 'they'? Is it just some strangers' conscious gaze? People might be judging, but who's doing that review? Those critics who only pretend to know you? Let me ask this: whose face comes to mind when you write your rhymes? Do you write for all the people who inspire you and are inspired by you and stand there with you? The most difficult thing to do is doing what you want, and foolish words like “lost” and “confused” pull at my heart But isn’t being that way okay? It’s great, right, homie? It’s imperfect, just like you Instead of Number One, I’d rather be the Only One You’re a lot like me, Elione

I don’t see anything wrong with that If you wanna do something, go for it and do it It’s totally okay If you wanna stop then take a break and stop it It’s totally okay Nothing wrong with that 24/7 Ballin’ It’s totally okay Nothing wrong with that I’m only gonna tell you once

Happiness comes in infinite forms Trying to fit a certain one won’t make you feel right Always comparing yourself to the people flexing on Instagram; if there’s anything left of the real you, how many milligrams? You don’t need to be influenced Quit sucking up to others and focus on yourself You’ll learn to stop caring what they think of you Go out on your own and experience life That’s real I’m sure you’ll feel lost some day You can’t go back on your one shot at life, but you can change its course It’s a hell of a lot of work, and frankly it’s impossible without love But if you have love, you can do it somehow It can feel shitty to stumble through life, but just know you can always change your mind

I don’t see anything wrong with that If you wanna do something, go for it and do it It’s totally okay If you wanna stop then take a break and stop it It’s totally okay Nothing wrong with that 24/7 Ballin’ It’s totally okay Nothing wrong with that I’m only gonna tell you once

[tallysgreatestfan]

Oh my god Rana! I felt so seen! Not sure if I ever even felt so seen, other than the own voices rep of "Failure To Communicate" (Kaia Sonbderby). Not just how nervous and insecure she is and how very specific she sees the world, her whole arc about finally getting help for her depression and coming into her own...

Honestly didn't expect the disability rep at all as I started reading it, it was such a pleasant surprise.

And Nara is honestly how a character like Padme or Deanna Troi or Delenn of Mir would be if the writer wasn't a sexist but instead respected her.

Oh god, the torture scene. It is just so gut wrenching, and the sheer body horror of it... But I also like how it does not feel like brutality for the brutality of it, but like a logical consequence of having this kind of technology?

_

Uff, I have a lot of art, and I have some meta too in the "The Risen Empire" tag on my blog, and art of the one other fan in the fandom too...

Rana/h_rd just kind of an cute shippy moment, with Rana for once being somewhat dominant

Nara/Laurent in some rather poethic drawing symbolizing their relationship

The big Rana/h_rd reunion kiss

Rana introducing h_rd to a warm bath (nsfw for obvious reasons)

Rana/h_rd cuddling

Bit of a weird one, sorry: Nara and Laurent dorking around, trying to do something about his body image issues by him trying on one of her dresses

The admiring the buff woman meme, but with Rana and h_rd

Very nsfw: Just... that scene about Rana knowing how h_rd tastes like? Yeah...

Nara and Laurent cuddling and spooning while sleeping

Crossover with my other sci-fi fave featuring disabled characters: Entrapta and Hordak from She-Ra, but in the The Risen Empire world

Rana and h_rd but in fancy clothes

Nara and Laurent in fancy clothes

The "I prefer girls" meme but with Rana and h_rd

The scene where a completely broken h_rd cries over Ranas death (blood and a bit of nudity but not yet really nsfw)

Nara/Laurent, there "you are beautiful" scene (slightly suggestive, not sure if nsfw yet, also I am absolutely not sure if that is an appropriate/respectful non-fetishizing way to portray an amputee)

Rana/h_rd, five moments from their relationship, two of them very lightly suggestive/nsfw

Lineup of my designs for h_rd, Rana, Laurent and Nara, my first drawing of them

My fics:

Nara/Laurent, porn with characterization, basically drew from my own experience of how wrong it feels as a disabled person to be sexual, though of course Laurents experience is different due to his disability being physical

Rana/h_rd, from the outsider perspective of an rather confused cafe clerk

Rana/h_rd, the first half is pining and getting to know each other, the second half is smut, kind of also an exploration of how it is to finally be with a woman for the first time as a bi woman

Love that you read The Risen Empire too. Finished it this winter, and its just so good. Not just how creative and real feeling the world and technology is, the characters. Oh my god the characters!

Rana/h_rd is OTP. It is as if they're specifically written for me, butch cyborg super soldier/mentally ill insecure bi mess, and its enemies to lovers, and captor/captive, damn yeah! Also so interesting how many hints for Special Tallys development are there in h_rds arc already.

Nara/Laurent also is the very rare example of an m/f ship that not just actually feels in character and isn't sexist, but even made me invested in them. The tenderness, and the respect, despite them being in different political factions at the beginning. And I love how Laurents disability is handled (and Naras, even if I am not sure if you can call that a disability, but damn, did I relate to her symptoms as an mentally ill autistic person. And Ranas disability!)

I am so obsessed with these characters and I drew so much fanart for them, and even wrote some small fics

It's one of my favorite books! In the wider context of scifi it's not very ambitious but every piece of the worldbuilding and every character in it is so cool, and I love what it has to say about politics and, yes, about the variety of disability and how it informs how you live in the world. Rana's brand of autism was the one that felt most like a distorted mirror to me, but I understand how compelling Nara's symptoms are for sure. She's such an interesting character and the book has so many good scenes where she gets to be badass or venerable about it and she's really treated so well with the narrative.

In general, I get it, it just had so many hyperspecific yet compelling elements that it feels like westerfeld is basically reading your mind and writing a book about it. I think I can link most of my hyperfixations to this book. It's scifi. It has cyborgs. It has a sentient house that grows itself! It has a mind blowing torture scene! Man, Laurent's torture scene is still the most chilling thing I've ever read. Everything else I seek I'm trying to reproduce the feeling of reading it.

Anyway, I want to see all the fanarts and fanfics you have btw. Link them to me any way you want but I want to see it all

Probable context for this is that this is what Nara and Laurent came up with half drunk trying to find something to combat Laurents body image issues.

Yeah the dress is hers and supposed to be ankle-height

Laurent at first is a bit hesitant, because while on every other planet, this being the future, a man wearing a dress is totally normal, his home planet is notoriously patriarchal. Nara however convinces him that he will look great

[tallysgreatestfan-art]

Just wanted to draw them in summer clothes being cute and free of worries
