#{ verse: dragon bebe }

[thefirsteldenlord]

"Lord Godfrey, It's nice to see you visiting the hold again"

Nouma says to the tall man. She had well adjusted her new life with twins. Both Solis and Luna in a baby sling, sound as sleep any newborn would be

(the unkowning grandaddy meets them first)

He glances down towards the newly made mother. His brows visibly raise in suprise at the new visitors to the hold.

"Yes, I see I am not the only visitor to the hold." He gestures to the twin babies. Not fully realizing their true nature, along with possible divine connections.

"I congratulate thee." He knows it isn't a celebration for everyone, but she seems content with them.

[deathblightprince]

"Thou hast something on thy face"

Adeodatus gestures to his own cheek. There was even a little tug on the corner of his lips. The twins had drawn on dadas face and it magically got this draconian papa to ALMOST smile?

Godwyn looked at the old man with confusion at first. "What art thou talking about? What's on my face?"

He was still half asleep, his back ached from the awkward position he sat in while he and the twins napped on a chair in the cabin. Why was this man damn near smiling at him? What could he possibly be up to?

Wiping the sleep from his eyes, he turned towards the small mirror in the corner of the room. He picked it and gazed into it, quickly noticing the little scribbles all over his face.

Now it makes sense as to why he woke up very suddenly, and his children scampered away from him as soon as he did.

"Not again." He groans.

[coldblood-gardens]

🕯 solis and luna [dragon bebes verse]

Alberich watches the twins tear across the great hall on all fours, hurriedly grabbing his staff and hat and sprinting after them, making sure they don't get hurt or cause trouble

"Wait up! Oh bloody hell"

They aren't even his kids, he can't help but wonder when he got so soft. If he isn't killed on the hunt or getting hugged too tight by his fiance, they'll be the death of him. Stress inducing little buggers, but he loves them enough to consider them family.

"What the devil are they up to this time??"

Name 3 things you admire about OCs. Are there any red roleplay flags for you that make you back off immediately? Your favorite fandom to write in?

Meme For Roleplay Muns no longer accepting || @gyedie 

2. Name 3 things you admire about OCs.

Oh my... Only three?!  1. I love the creativity involved in even just creating the concept for them! It takes more effort than many people realize to build a character out of nothing. It’s difficult to juggle out the realism of their history, disposition, and mindsets, so when someone accomplishes that, it’s respect-worthy, in my opinion! 2. The passion. Obviously, OCs in the RP world are created by the person you’re writing with, so you know there’s devotion involved! The writer wants you, as a writing partner, to connect with them. Sometimes you can actually feel that pouring through the screen.  3. The determination involved. Social media RP had never been the kindest to OCs. It’s a shame, really, and I honestly have no idea as to why. Every canon character what someone’s OC, once upon a time. Those writers, though, will try their hardest to make their bebes seen so that the world can experience them, and I love that.   

22. Are there any red roleplay flags for you that make you back off immediately? 

I answered this here, so I’ll copy/paste:   Oh yeah. That “high and mighty” OOC content being plastered all over someone’s blog (usually more than anything IC,) shoving their morals and values down their writing partners throats. That one is an instant walk-away for me, so I’m happy to say that there’s none of that on my current mutuals. Whether or not I agree or don’t agree with whatever they’re talking about, I don’t feel like RP blogs are the place for it. I can always hop on Fac3b00k for that. Aside from that, clingyness is an instant turn off for me. I’m introverted, reclusive, and generally don’t talk much on social media or messengers to anyone other than a select few. A few messages here and there or plot discussion is perfectly acceptable and encouraged, but I’m bad with small-talk if it’s unrelated to the content. I really need to click with someone to “chat” and that takes time. I deal with the public and people-pleasing at both my jobs, so I usually don’t have the brainpower or emotional energy to do it on social platforms.  Don’t get me wrong... I’m not telling people not to message me. Just... don’t be intrusive or invasive, okay? Fastest way to chase me off. Thirdly, formatting. I know some things look pretty to others, but I prefer my formatting done exactly how it would be in a book I’m reading. Overformatting to me just doesn’t work, and if I see it on a blog I’m looking over, I’m more likely to not follow back or avoid.  

23. Your favorite fandom to write in? 

I... don’t know. LOL. I want to immediately say Final Fantasy XV, since this is the community that I walked into, knowing three people, and made so many wonderful connections. Half of Ravus’ verses are in other fandoms, however, so... Dragon Age, Game of Thrones/ASoIaF, and FFXV are all on an equal platform for me, at the moment.

Grima VG win #2 fic (alt. title: Rrrrakatatititata Yeah, he's won twice bitch!)

GRIMA WON AGAIN! I had to churn this story out cause I love him so much and the creative juices finally came again. Also, soft Grima is the best Grima. Also, the title is a reference to Bebe”s Jungle Kitty Verse from RuPaul’s Drag Race)

No one in the order ever seemed to understand who came up with the common occurrences known as voting gauntlets; Feh would randomly be carrying a letter containing several heroes names and the custom took off. While only eight heroes participated at a time, the whole Order happily partook in supporting said participants. As summoner, you always helped pitch in and cheer for everyone, trying to remain neutral. You had only failed once, Grima had won his first Voting Gauntlet against Celica, the cheer in your heart rising as you gave Grim a congratulatory hug.

The whole Order never let you forget the sight of you cheering for Grima, your usual calm self going all out for Grima. Thankfully, Grima seemed to forget it or ignore it, saving you the added embarrassment. So by the time Grima had his second Voting Gauntlet, you cooled down, making sure to help the rest of the competitors. Perhaps even a bit more than Grima if his sour scowl was enough evidence. And yet, despite the lack of your help, Grima had made it to the final round again. Going up against Idunn, who despite her relative newness in the Order, had garnered a large following, the young manaketes convincing everyone to support Idunn.

Seeing the dire situation, you relished all sense of public perception and adamantly cheered on Grima; the entire Order still shocked at the Fell Dragon receiving your support. With the time slowing coming close to its end, you had been scrambling for flags, making sure to grab every single one you could. Your effort went paid by the end, Idunn having lost. Admittedly, you felt awful, having been the reason why she lost, but by the time you got a couple sentences in, Fae along with her numerous friends had coming rushing to her, dragging her away to play with Iduun with a smile on her face despite losing. Giving her a goodbye, you made your way to Grima with a skip in your step. Said skip was gone as heroes gave a look towards you, their smiles embedding themselves into your conscious. Slowing down your quick pace, you walk the rest of the way.

Before you can reach Grima, Feh comes flying around the corner, a trophy clutched in her talons. She hoots at you before dumping it into your arms, struggling to not drop it from the quick reaction needed. With the trophy in your arms, you pick up the speed, this time ignoring the looks; Grima’s look being the one you want to see. You spot him standing all alone by a column, his back to you as he inspects his true form. His true form seeing you, Grima turns around to face you, a scowl on his face.

You pause at his stare, holding his trophy in front of your face as a shield. Stomping his way towards you, Grima takes a hold of the trophy as he glares up at you. You smile back, laughing nervously before coughing, picking at the nonexistent dirt at the sleeves of your outfit. Grima shrugs as he finishes checking the trophy before handing it back to you.

“Again?” You ask him. He lets out a jut of air through his nose before responding.

“I won because of your help. In the end, you earned this one too.” Grima crosses his arms as he stares at you,  his eyebrows furrowed.

“But you fought! You should at least keep one trophy.” You hold it back out towards him but Grima ignores it. Seeing his lack of want, you pull it to your chest. Staring at the floor.

“What held you, worm?”

“Huh?” You jolt your eyes back to Grima, a light tint of pink on his cheeks.

“Ignore it.” Now Grima chooses to not look at you, his true form much more interesting apparently.

“I’m glad you won again.” Grima grunts at your confession.

“All the worms wouldn’t shut up about it. Incessantly blathering about your cheering.:

“Oh… Was I that loud?” You lower the trophy, comfortably cradling it in your arms.

“You were obnoxiously loud.”

“Sorry, I kinda go-” Grima interrupts you before you can finish apologizing.

“But I appreciated it.” Grima coughs after saying so and then walks off, his true form taking to the sky. You stay still, unsure of how to process it before chasing after him. He ignores you, walking at a normal pace before you grab his hand, Grima freezing in response. You let go, fearful of his response.

“Do it again.” Grima commands as he face you again, his face aflush.

“What?” You pull your hand back, taking it as a threat. Grima reaches for your hand, holding it in his as he looks at you.

“You don’t anger me like those other worms.” He pauses as he thinks, his hand clenching yours. “Your presence is welcome.” Grima holds your hand as he starts walking, you going along for the ride.

“Where are we going?” You ask, the shock of Grima’s actions still being processed.

“There’s a clearing past the courtyard. You’ll like it.” Grima says, the statement leaving no room for argument. You clear your throat before responding.

“I think I will.” You smile at him, Grima catching a glance at your smile before facing forward again.

“I’m glad.”

REVIEWING THE CHARTS: 24/09/2022 (Anne-Marie/Aitch, BLACKPINK, Montell Fish)

Dethroning Capaldi’s debut from last week is “I’m Good (Blue)” by David Guetta and Bebe Rexha, becoming Rexha’s first #1 on the UK Singles Chart and Guetta’s seventh. His last #1 was 2014’s “Lovers on the Sun” featuring Sam Martin and his best – by far – was “Club Can’t Handle Me” with Flo Rida. It’s not even close. Welcome back to REVIEWING THE CHARTS!

Rundown

It’s a tried and true formula to make a hit out of an older hit in egregious form, and hey, I can’t stand the song but good for the duo and the Eiffel 65 guys especially. Guetta has been in comeback form for now while, it’s no surprise that he gets a worldwide hit with a song that resembles his old sound. Will it usurp the original’s three weeks at #1? I don’t know, but what I do know are the notable dropouts, songs exiting from the UK Top 75 – which is what I cover – after five weeks in the region or a peak in the top 40. This week, the list includes “There’d Better be a Mirrorball” by the Arctic Monkeys – it’ll be back with the album – but also “Yellow” by Coldplay, “Can’t Be Us” by Headie One, Bandokay and Abra Cadabra, “ALIEN SUPERSTAR” by Beyoncé, “Cold Heart” (PNAU Remix) by Elton John and Dua Lipa – finally, and “Someone You Loved” by Lewis Capaldi off of the return from last week.

What’s replacing these songs? Well, in terms of re-entries, “When it Rains it Pours” by Bad Boy Chiller Crew is back at #71, and in terms of notable gains, we have “Sex, Drugs, Etc.” by Beach Weather at #54, “All These Nights” by Tom Grennan at #51, “Kiss Me” by Dermot Kennedy at #50, “LA Leakers Freestyle” by Central Cee riding virality to #40, “Pink Venom” by BLACKPINK at #38 thanks to the album boost (more on that later), “2 Be Loved (Am I Ready)” by Lizzo at #28, “CUFF IT” by Beyoncé at #20, and “Big City Life” by Luude and Mattafix returning to the top 10 at #9.

The top five on the UK Singles Chart is pretty similar to last week, with “Super Freaky Girl” by Nicki Minaj at #5, “I Ain’t Worried” by OneRepublic at #4, “B.O.T.A. (Baddest of Them All)” by Eliza Rose and Interplanetary Criminal at #3 and of course the switcheroo between Lewis Capaldi’s “Forget Me” and “I’m Good (Blue)” at the top. Now, as is tradition, let’s take a look at albums that I listened to from this week that did not impact the singles chart.

Off the Charts

Opening the Door – Little Dragon

See, this is an odd week: every album here is just one I’m kind of lukewarm on, and therefore this WILL actually be brief for once. This is an EP from Swedish electronic pop group Little Dragon, and it’s pretty likely to go in one ear and leave out of the other, with its at times bubbly but mostly smooth R&B grooves that don’t grow old as much as they flick into the background, to the point that even a JID verse is disappointing. It’s definitely passable, and kind of a vibe, but outside of the closer “Peace” with Stefan Sandberg, which is striking enough sonically, I don’t really care much about this.

Hold the Girl – Rina Sawayama

I didn’t really like the debut but I figured that this could be more of a refinement and man, it just kind of trails off in a really disappointing way. It debuted at #3 on the Albums Chart and I get why – it is a pretty decent pop album, but every single song kind of reminds me of a song that I can’t really put my finger on, and it’s really distracting. The production is mostly good but never immaculate, and a lot of these sweet hooks never punch as hard as they need to. If she was going for restraint, I’d get it, but a lot of this is gunning for the camp and the melodrama which I don’t think it executes that well, with the experimentation midway through the album just sounding tacked-on, even more so than the debut. My favourite track is “Send My Love to John”.

Impostor Syndrome – AG Club

Alternative rap group AG Club deliver their most refined project to date, with the most actual track ideas and musical progressions, and some killer beats, but again, I’m disappointed. There is a lot of experimentation within and beyond the pop-rap format but it really only selectively works to make compelling songs, and whilst the rapping is good, it’s not that quotable and they get overshadowed basically every single time by their guest stars. If you want a catchy, kind of out-there album with good production, it’s there, but looking for anything more, just like with Sawayama, might leave yo a bit disappointed. My favourite track is the undeniable and jazzy “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” with some incredible verses from both redveil and especially Glen the Saiyan, as well as vocals from Sam Truth. Oh, and these guys can do emo-pop surprisingly well.

I Love You Jennifer B – Jockstrap

Maybe my expectations were just set too high but whilst there is some damn great music from the art pop duo, I feel let down by some elements of this. To get that out of the way first, Taylor Skye’s production is a lot less consistent and a cohesive sound gets really lost in the clashing frictions that are there fully on purpose but unintentionally distract from excellent performances from Georgia Ellery, and elsewhere, it has some great moments. The plummeting dread of “Neon” leads to a cathartic noise rock breakdown, the synth freakout on “Concrete Over Water” is well-deserved and the narrative and emotional thoroughline becomes increasingly clarified in the second half, particularly on “Glasgow”. That’s also where the album starts to fall for me, though. Whilst “Greatest Hits” is cute, it lyrically feels a bit lacking and honestly like a third draft, which makes it feel overly cryptic at best and just straight up annoying and unremarkable at worst, especially on the vulnerable yet frustrating “Angst”. As for the production gripes, it also gets worse and the demo qualities of the practically-a-closer “Lancaster Court” prevent it from being as ghostly as it could be and just make it unnecessarily tense. “50/50” is a jam but I have no idea how it sonically or thematically fits in here. All these dichotomies may just be why people love this so much, but I found this album to be sonically really promising and at times reaching that greatness, but ultimately lacking in actual development of these ideas. My favourite track is the sweetest, “What’s it All About?”, where Ellery careens with uncertainty on filtered acoustics and I wish the album was more focused to really hit home. And now, back to your regularly scheduled programming...

NEW ARRIVALS

#75 – “World’s Smallest Violin” – AJR

Produced by Ryan Met

We’re seriously doing this? We’re giving AJR a sleeper hit? To be fair, it’s not the worst song we could have given a hit to off of OK ORCHESTRA – I don’t know why I even listened to that album – but “Way Less Sad” was pushed and is probably the only tolerable track off of that record. Regardless, here we are with the brotherly trio’s new viral hit and obviously, I’m not a fan. Their typically obnoxious and chintzy tone is out here in full force, and AJR have always sounded like a show tune band with way too synthetic tones, especially the vocals here that act as backing and harmonies which feel like barbershop quartets and aren’t mixed particularly well. That’s of course before we get to the chorus which is just painful. I get the ambition, but Jack Met’s falsetto is not pleasant and the fading in of all of these synthetic, MIDI-sounding instruments in the messy drop just does not make sense other than flexing the fact that you have several different presets. Ignoring the... vaping reference, the lyrics aren’t awful though. Most of it is self-deprecative anyway, as he acknowledges his own complaining as unimportant yet still wanting an audience for his bitching as well as his achievements despite the fact that he’ll never be as impressive and his cause will never be as dire. Sure, it’s sold with as little tact as possible because it’s AJR, but it’s not reprehensible so really, my one complaint is the production, but God, it’s a large complaint. It’s so full of ideas yet so void of any of them at the same time. It almost reminds me of the more jovial levels of Super Mario Galaxy 2 if I can make any real contemporary sonic comparison, and yes, I know I just called a Wii game contemporary but I’m getting old, and if I can relate to AJR on anything, it is that.

#65 – “BILLIE EILISH.” – Armani White

Produced by July da Producer

I mean, it’s a good way to get your song in search results, right? Part of me hopes that Billie releases a response called “ARMANI WHITE.”, but what really is there to respond to here? The name-drop is in the chorus but it’s a cute reference to how he also needs a big shirt like Eilish often wears not because of anxiety but instead because he’s got a Glock under there. She’s not referenced throughout the rest of the song, and really, it just makes looking for this specific song more difficult since I’m going to see better songs by Eilish herself and just listen to those instead... which is a shame because I kind of like this. It relies on a recognisable sample of N.O.R.E.’s “Nothin’”, which peaked at #11 in the UK in 2002, which lays a pretty nice Middle Eastern sample from the peak era of the Neptunes behind July da Producer’s filters and heavy trap beat. I’m not a fan of his Auto-Tuned ad-libs but he has charisma as a vocalist, even if he’s slipping and sliding outside of the beat in a way that’s kind of sloppy. Sadly, there’s not much to be heard here in terms of actual punchlines and the song’s barely a minute and a half, so I’d stick to the original by N.O.R.E. with much more dynamic production and a Hell of a lot more style from both Pharrell’s hook and N.O.R.E.’s verse which are as distinct as ever even on a radio cut. He even name-drops Smash Mouth and Creed for like no reason, so the tradition of naming random alternative acts in your unrelated pop-rap hit continues to this day.

#61 – “Danielle (smile on my face)” – Fred again..

Produced by Fred again.., Benji Gibson, PARISI and Four Tet

I haven’t enjoyed much of the production work from Fred again.., especially as a lead artist, but I’m always willing to check out something from him because he tends to crib ideas or names that I have a fondness for, even if the songs don’t end up in my personal rotation. Most of the time, his songs act as cool ideas rather than actually functioning house tracks, and I was afraid that’d be the case with this one. After all, it relies on another very recognisable sample of Kanye protégé and alternative R&B singer 070 Shake’s “Nice to Have”, which of course didn’t chart but I think is pretty good as Shake goes into her typically flippant murmuring to express the humbling love that she feels with her partner. More broadly, it’s about the benefits of human companionship and the warping synth bass that initially trembles under her voice becomes this chasm of sound that briefly encapsulates her in the final chorus before the typical MIKE DEAN synth sound just buzzes away into the distance. It’s a great song, so how’s Mr. Again’s remix? Well, I think maybe 070 Shake deserved a feature credit given it’s a complete rework, but maybe her lawyers are worse than Future’s. All of the charm in the original is lost with this remix, it’s really awful. I like glitchy outsider house but the drums here are claustrophobic and it doesn’t help that the rubbery synth bass is really annoying, clashing generally with the content whilst not really repurposing it for any understandable recontextualisation. The vocal stem sounds like one of those DIY YouTube uploads, and the lyrics remain intact but less convincing when she sings “There’ll be a smile on my face” over cloudy, lo-fi grooveless music and a piercing level of wonky synth by the end that just contradicts everything about the original song that I liked. What an uncomfortable remix that just misses the point entirely. 070 Shake worked well with Swedish House Mafia earlier this year too so there’s precedent that this could work... but clearly not with Fred. Once again(..), I end up disappointed with his production.

#27 – “Hotel” – Montell Fish

Produced by Montell Fish

It’s sometimes weird to see such a limited star power in the name of someone debuting in the top 40, but this is a song that had gone viral on TikTok a while ago and was only now released to streaming platforms, seeing a lot of initial viral success for this Montell Fish guy who despite his low profile, has a couple big alternative R&B hits on streaming platforms, and I do like this new track. The fuzzy synths that come in on the first verse feel very MIKE DEAN-esque but given the distortion and guitar feedback that starts the track, and Fish’s tone being very different to say, an awkward Steve Lacy or a buttery Giveon, giving it all to his multi-tracked falsetto vocals that are just imperfect and lo-fi enough to really strike a “bedroom” resonance without being overly dissonant. The drums are mixed a bit too messily for me to dig fully, but I do get the chasm of that snare having a lot of impact for people, and it definitely fades into the wonderfully blended soundscape in both verses, only really becoming a bother during the bridge where those alarming synths aren’t there. I do have some nitpicks that keep me from fully enjoying the song too, like the guitar solo being kind of sloppy, and the lack of lyrical detail: I’ve been calling them verses, but it’s really just one chorus and it’s not particularly well-enunciated. These wouldn’t be problems if it weren’t for the production not being as top-notch as it should be, and the abrupt ending is a real misfire because this has a lot of potential, and with a rework from someone more professional or interesting – Hell, maybe MIKE DEAN should get on this and see what he can do – this could really be great, because there is something here and I’ll be watching out for Montell Fish for the years to come.

#24 – “Shut Down” – BLACKPINK

Produced by Teddy Park and 24

This one is a lot easier to explain. BLACKPINK released their album BORN PINK and whilst it debuted at #1 on the albums chart, it’s not one I listened to because, well, K-pop isn’t exactly something I’m interested in hearing. It’s a lot more conventional than “Pink Venom” which I still don’t understand and honestly, I like this. Putting “La Campanella” behind a trap beat sounds like something that should have been done before this, and the bass does boom behind a pretty hard instrumental, and thankfully, BLINK – if I’m allowed to call them that – spend most of the verses in Korean, as much of the group sound much more natural in their native languages. The girls sound pretty great in the braggadocious chorus, and “it’s black and it’s pink once the sun’s down” is a line that just kind of goes hard as a sentence... which is not something I often say about really any song here. Jennie’s verse is mostly in English, partly since she spent a lot of time studying in New Zealand so is fluent, and she sounds great. Sure, the flexing isn’t all that impressive but the melodic flows are hard-hitting and she trades off with Lisa really well. That final drop and outro has a lot more swagger than it has any right to be, and the violins all over the track sound really crisp alongside the trap percussion. For the first time probably ever, I can say that BLACKPINK’s attempts at rap have paid off for once, because this is great. It took a couple years but I guess they’re finally in my area.  

#16 – “PSYCHO” – Anne-Marie and Aitch

Produced by Billen Ted and Mojam

I guess it’s just Opposite Day this week because, yes, I am about to say I like this song too. Now, it’s not because of Aitch – he’s barely here with his tiny verse and he’s barely on beat. It’s not even really because of the production either, even though it is good. The simple, J. White Did It-esque basic and cheap piano line would probably work more for an... actual rapper – yes, I know Aitch is here, he doesn’t count – alongside the trap beat, but much unlike the BLACKPINK song before, the percussion stutters in a way that stodges through the verses and just absolutely kills in the chorus. The real star here is Anne-Marie, who for once turns that bratty energy and off-kilter voice to something really passionate with all the distorted filters, sloppy Auto-Tune and voice cracks shining through in a way that emphasises this toxic, messy relationship in an effective albeit incredibly unsubtle way. Her interplay and chemistry with Aitch is surprisingly there, and the “Mambo No. 5” interpolation is just stupid enough to work – and, no, it’s not sampled heavily enough for me to dig up its chart history. Just know that Bob the Builder’s cover hit #1 the day the towers fell. This is not supposed to be taken seriously in any way, and I don’t know if it was Billen Ted or Mojam that came up with making the vocal loop sound like complete garbage in the drop but Goddamn, it’s practically industrial and sounds incredible. It’s not all that far from what Black Dresses would do, and for a pop song, it doesn’t play around or dampen it down that much. The bratty melodrama and personality is here, more on Anne-Marie’s slide than it is for Aitch, whose vocal mixing is so awful it has got to be intentional. For whatever reason, I think this will last even shorter than the BLACKPINK song, and I know people do hate this, but I’m into this a lot and I hope to hear more complete nonsense like this on the pop charts.

Conclusion

Yeah, Best of the Week is going to “PSYCHO” by Anne-Marie and Aitch, with a strong Honourable Mention to BLACKPINK for “Shut Down”. Yeah, it’s not often I can say any of that. As for the worst, since it was a mostly middling week, I really do have to give AJR the Worst of the Week for “World’s Smallest Violin” but “Danielle (smile on my face)” by Fred again.. is oddly close as the Dishonourable Mention. Being in the same breath as AJR is never a career highlight.

As for what’s on the horizon, I can expect some movement in the coming months. The charts sometimes tend to ramp up during these last few portions of the year, and it’s always exciting. With Taylor Swift coming soon, some episodes may be just rife with discourse. But for now, thank you for reading and I’ll see you next week!

"The first elden lord should remember where he stored the twins clothing"

Adeodatus comments. Gently cleaning a Luna. Supporting her head to prevent her from going under the warm water in the bucket.

His tail swaying to keep a freshly cleaned Solis asleep. Wrapped up in a bucky cloth to keep warm

(single grandaddies trying to take care of their grand daughters)

"Oi, hath some patience, eh?" He fumbled as he went back looking through cupboards and containers for the baby clothes. Was he the one who washed them, folded them, and set them away? Yes. Does he remember where he stuffed them? No. He never does.

"I am but an old man. My memory no longer serves me well." He opens a couple more cupboards before finding the stack of baby clothes that were haphazardly folded. Without much of a thought, he grabs a onsie from the stack. Then with the upmost delicacy, he takes a sleeping Solis from her grandfather's tail, cupping her tiny body within the palm of his hand. With a gentle touch he removes the blanket from a now dry Solis to change her into her clothes before swaddling her once more.

[deathblightprince]

Continued from X.

Godwyn aided Nouma in putting the babies to bed in their cribs. The room was dimly lit for the babies comfort, but he witnessed Nouma struggle to navigate the more well-lit bathroom so he was wary of her ability to see in the nursery. He guided her to each crib, letting her lower each one and he helped adjust the babies so they can rest comfortably. He shared gentle whispers to Nouma and the babies as he wished each one a goodnight.

He met Nouma at the door of the Nursery, feeling the somber tone in her demeanor. He was almost certain he knew why.

"Very well." His voice was hushed as he gently closes the door behind them. He led her to the bedroom next to the nursery so they could speak privately.

"What is on thy mind?"

Best Collaborations of 2017

This list is actually growing every year. Last year I only had 15, before that 10 and 10 in 2014 as well. I love it, yes. Give me more collabs! (And remember, I have a bit of a rulebend where stuff released the previous year’s December still counts.)

20 All Time Low: Ground Control (feat. Tegan and Sara) 

If I’m absolutely honest I don’t really know/like Tegan and Sara but I do know they come from around the same neck of the pop punk woods All Time Low does and I can appreciate a bit of out of nowhere collab. 

19 ONE OK ROCK: Take What You Want (feat. 5 Seconds of Summer)

I honest to god know nothing about One Ok Rock but I do love those 5SOS boys and miss them quite a lot so I’m happy for this track.

18 Halsey: Strangers (feat. Lauren Jauregui)

Another confession: I don’t think this song is as much the tits as everybody says it is but my bi heart hungers for any sort of representation so I’ll take it thank you very much.

17 Stargate: Waterfall (feat. P!nk & Sia)

This is for a movie, right? Who the heck cares, Pink and Sia are definitely two of the strongest female vocalists out there and hearing them side-by-side is every bit as brilliant as I thought it would be.

16 Clean Bandit: I Miss You (feat. Julia Michaels)

Artists like Clean Bandit, Robin Schulz, Kygo or The Chainsmokers (all of which actually have a place or two on this list) are good cause they’re giving me a constant supply of collabs to love. I don’t even know Julia Michaels and I fell in love with her voice as soon as I heard this song.

15 Robin Schulz: OK (feat. James Blunt)

Not as good as Sugar but good regardless, James Blunt is the last person I thought would be collaborating with Robin Schulz but surprisingly it works.

14 Linkin Park: Heavy (feat. Kiiara)

This song was the first on my list back when it came out and even though I understood the concerns about such a different track being the lead single, I could not side with the criticism saying it’s bad. It’s an emotional, painful song about inner turmoils sung beautifully by Kiiara and Chester Bennington.

13 Kygo: Stargazing (feat. Justin Jesso)

Kygo, buddy, you always have my back when it comes to collabs. I love my dance pop full of samples and this gives me just that.

12 The Chainsmokers: Something Just Like This (feat. Coldplay)

Alright, sue me, I love catchy songs. So what? In this world where pop music has become electronic pop producers like The Chainsmokers have an easy job I’d say and some of the old pop royalty are left to catch up or get left behind. This results in many bands that started out or became famous worldwide in the last decade prioritising the electro pop sound over their old set-up (two examples are Coldplay and the upcoming OneRepublic, by the way). For some it doesn’t work out that great but for Coldplay here it sounds comfortable, showing another side of themselves.

11 Kygo: Stranger Things (feat. OneRepublic)

 I think I’ve said all I could about this track in the previous two summaries but let me just add that when Ryan Tedder came out with that announcement about not doing another album anytime soon but rather releasing singles whenever they felt comfortable with it because he felt way too under pressure I became worried. I love OneRepublic despite thinking their music have kind of gone downhill since the good old days of the last decade (see?) and would never want them to force themselves into doing shit they don’t want. With a few amazing collaborations under their belt I’m glad they found their way to this song which fits their repertoire quite well.

...remember the beginning of this post when I didn’t write whole novels for every entry? I miss those times. Click through for the first ten songs.

10 San Holo: I Still See Your Face (GOSLO Remix)

Alright, not a classic collaboration but you know what I mean. San Holo’s always been a weird one for me because I barely listen to his vanilla stuff, I always seem to fancy the remixes only. This one is strangely addictive and once you’ve heard it slowed down like that you don’t really want to go back to the original. Sorry(?)

09 Khalid & Imagine Dragons: Thunder/Young Dumb & Broke

I don’t know how this collab came to be but I like to think that the Imagine Dragons boys and Khalid both separately heard each other’s songs and realised the instrumentals might as well be swapped cause they just fit each other so well. I also recommend the live version which is awesome. I’m so on board with Dan Reynolds wandering into the realms of R&B, it really suits him.

08 Logic: 1-800-273-8255 (feat. Alessia Cara & Khalid)

Mental illness has been getting tons of attention in the mainstream media recently, I think starting around the suicide of Robin Williams (could be sooner but that’s when I became aware of the attention) and that’s not a bad thing but I feel like most artists are still just dancing around the notion of saying things as they are. It’s not a bad thing, I’d rather people are careful rather than misrepresenting or spreading false information and thus enforcing the stigma around mental illness, but then someone like Logic comes out of nowhere with a song whose title is literally the US suicide prevention hotline with several hard hitting lines that tell it like it is. The fact that the music video is about a young black gay boy growing up to be happy is just cherry on top. I’m glad Alessia Cara and Khalid, two people from two different genres came together to collaborate on it.

07 Nothing But Thieves: Hell Yeah (feat. Jonathan Higgs)

Fear not, I will always find a way to cram these assholes onto any list I can get my filthy fingers on. I don’t even know which concert this was and I had no idea these guys even knew each other but it was such a random impromptu collab that I can’t help but love it. The harmonies sounded amazing and I love the idea of any old singer from an otherwise unrelated band just randomly wandering on stage to sing a duet with Conor.

06 dodie: Impossible Year (feat. Jack Howard)

Here’s one of our outliers but one that actually fits our current situation. Panic! forever cemented this song as a must-listen at the end of every year and dodie and Jack Howard did an amazing job covering the song. It works even better as a duet somehow, and I just love their voices together.

05 Lin-Manuel Miranda: Almost Like Praying (feat. Artists for Puerto Rico)

Lin is one of those people who just radiates good energy wherever he goes. You just can’t help but feel positive when he’s around. I imagine it’s a blessing and a burden but when he uses that power to gather around a group of musical legends and contemporary artists to promote a good cause it’s definitely a blessing.

04 Clean Bandit: Symphony (feat. Zara Larsson)

It might just be because this song is the theme song of my OTP but I love it. It’s even weirder because I listened to it a lot this year when I had a bit of a breakdown and yet this song doesn’t remind me of that phase, thankfully. It reminds me that Clean Bandit are master songwriters and Zara Larsson’s voice is too good for the music she does on her own.

03 Machine Gun Kelly: Home (feat. X Ambassadors & Bebe Rexha) 

Do I like Machine Gun Kelly? Not really. Do I like Bebe Rexha? Not in particular. Have I seen Bright? Hell no. I do love X Ambassadors to bits, however, and will lay down my life for a good hook any day. It’s a nostalgic sort of bittersweet song about belonging and missing home, and it carries even more meaning when you realise Machine Gun Kelly wrote his verse after he found out about Chester Bennington’s death. I love this song regardless of the background info but it just fits so well together this way. Also Bebe Rexha’s voice is also too good for the music she does on her own. She’s got a beast in that throat of hers, goddamn.

02 Grizfolk: In My Arms (feat. Jamie N Commons)

Two artists that crept up on me without any warning, indie pop Grizfolk and what the hell is Jamie N Commons even doing when he’s not singing for other people? I should probably check out. But until then enjoy this song between two of the strongest vocals you probably never heard of.

01 Cold War Kids: So Tied Up (feat. Bishop Briggs) 

You’d think I knew this song would be first on the list for a long time but no sir, I did not. Eventually the deciding factor was that the live version they released before the album came out (link in the title) was so good that when the studio version came out people were outraged that Bishop Briggs was barely featured. It wasn’t even the false advertisement that hurt, it was just that the studio version absolutely wasted Bishop’s talents which as we know are plenty. Luckily Cold War Kids realised their mistake and released a “moreBishop” version which is 1) as it should’ve been from the very beginning and 2) fucking hilarious. The music video (linked here) also features “moreBishop”, thank goodness x)

The list also contained Not Easy by Alex Da Kid and featuring X Ambassadors, Elle King, and Whiz Khalifa but unfortunately it’s from 2016 October as it turns out so :[ (Listen to the song anyway cause it’s really good)

[hocuss-pxcuss]

And the flowers will grow in the middle of the winter, and the knowledge of tomorrow will burn your mind.

Era su mirada.

Gesine había aprendido a conocer a las personas a través de su mirada.

Dicen que los ojos son la ventana del alma y a ella se le había concedido el paso para conocer un universo entero. Fría y calculadora, la acecha hasta que ya no hay nada más por hacer. Conoce su presente y su futuro, mucho no importa de su pasado y, sin embargo, incluso eso lo ha descubierto.

Y todo fuera por su mirada.

—Es donde ves el fuego —piensa—. Es donde te quema, porque lo sientes.

La mujer estaba hecha por completo de aquel elemento cuyos conceptos alcanzaban los extremos.

El fuego, que había sido creado para mantener la calidez en el invierno. El fuego, que reducía todo a cenizas hasta que ya nada quedaba. El fuego. Estaba hecha de fuego. La quemaba de tan sólo tenerla cerca y, ¡por todos los dioses del universo! ¡De qué manera lo hacía!

La magia en su interior era capaz de reconocer la ajena. El poder que llevaba dentro era tan inmenso que la hacía temblar de los pies a la cabeza. Era difícil hacer aquella situación llevadera. La sacaba de quicio, la perturbaba y golpeaba su ego con la misma brutalidad en que las lluvias de otoño azotaban la ciudad sin ningún miramiento.

Y aún así, se mantenía firme, siempre buscando un poco más de ella.

Conociendo.

Aprendiendo.

Observando.

—Los dragones han desaparecido con los años —había dicho su madre, cuando la conocieron—. Los cazadores persiguieron a la mayoría de ellos, tomaron sus vidas hasta que dejaron de verse como lo hacían en sus gloriosos tiempos —aún puede oír el suspiro resignado que crea la pausa en sus palabras—. Pero no se ve a menudo uno como ellos. Son más humanos que los dragones de antaño pero... ¿puedes sentirlo? ¿Puedes sentir su fuerza? ¿Puedes sentir toda esa violencia luchando por salir de una vez?

Claro que lo siente.

Apenas era capaz de estar en la misma habitación que ella mientras todas aquellas sensaciones le enredaban los pensamientos y le perturbaban el alma.

Entonces esa mirada que ha estado analizando por horas, días, años... esa misma mirada la observa a ella. La bruja no sabe qué hacer hasta que lo sabe. Lo sabe en las lágrimas de una niña asustada y sola. Lo sabe en los gritos de una joven iracunda e inestable. Lo sabe en la sonrisa de una mujer que baila, y ríe, y bebe, y finalmente ama.

Gesine sabe todas esas cosas que antes había estado pasando por alto pero que ahora son terriblemente claras.

Reconoce en lo que ha visto recientemente a la persona que ella misma fue.

Sabe también que no volverá a verla luego de ese encuentro.

Sus miradas finalmente se apartan una de la otra.

Se dejan ir.
