Songs for The Silver Chronicles, Life, Despair & Monsters and Wings And Horns respectively. You can find the songs below the cut:

Elsa Omar is Silva's younger sister, they both managed to escape to America together along with an infant Persephone, where Elsa would have quite the reputation in Hope County, but they'd have around two or three years of peace before Elsa perishes in an accident. Ezekiel is Thomas Rush's future Captain in Security in Old Dusk, and has a rebel attitude towards authority he does not respect. However, back on the Archipiélagos, Elsa was the damsel-in-relative-distress lying and manipulating her piece of shit father as she shared info with the local rebellion about the Congregation's patrols and whatnot, while Ezekiel was an orphaned Tumultite street kid who looked up to the likes of Alvarich and Paul, despite being very anti-authoritarian in general. When these two first met... they hated each other. But hate turned to grudging respect. Respect turned to horrified crushing. Crush turned into deflecting by flirting. And that annoyed everyone else. Even 26 years after he last saw her alive, Ezekiel still yearns for his star-crossed love. And I think this song definitely describes how much their connection may as well have been fated, even if it was for a short time.

"I don't mean to be so uptight But my heart's been hurt a couple times By a couple guys that didn't treat me right I ain't gonna lie, ain't gonna lie 'Cause I'm tired of the fake love, show me what you're made of Boy, make me believe." "Whoa, hold up, girl, don't you know you're beautiful? And it's easy to see."

"If it's meant to be, it'll be, it'll be Baby, just let it be If it's meant to be, it'll be, it'll be Baby, just let it be So won't you ride with me, ride with me? See where this thing goes If it's meant to be, it'll be, it'll be Baby if it's meant to be

So come on, ride with me, ride with me See where this thing goes So come on, ride with me, ride with me Baby if it's meant to be."

"Maybe we do." "Maybe we don't." "Maybe we will Maybe we won't.

But if it's meant to be, it'll be, it'll be Baby, just let it be ("Sing it baby")* If it's meant to be, it'll be, it'll be ("Come on") Baby, just let it be." ("Let's go!")

[*Changed the word to "baby" instead of leaving it as "Bebe"]

Cecil Royce is the daughter of Daemon Targaryen and Rhea Royce, conceived after a drunk night of hate sex. Cecil, unlike her cousins, does not hold any admiration towards her father. Throughout The Thorned Crown Of Iron Thrones, Cecil is particularly hostile towards Daemon, and pretty much rejects the Targaryen name and practices in favour of her mother's. Though after the "accidental" death of her mother, she is put underneath Daemon's care... and he honestly tries his best. Through many trials, and many errors, as well as very slow-paced bonding experiences and the apparent mutual agreement that Rhaenyra should be heir to the Iron Throne, they manage to get along, and find in themselves an actual father-daughter bond suited for two rogue Targaryens. Until of course Cecil learns from him that he murdered her mother... and unlike Daemon, Cecil actually loved and looked up to Rhea. A bond fractures and there's just this uneasiness between them that stays long after the first fic ends and the second fic begins. How does "Summertime Sadness" fit into all of this? While the song itself is a yearning for the loss of a lover, here the context is Cecil's conflicted grief and yearning after the loss of Daemon, when he buys her time to fight the Court King, where he is knowingly severely outmatched and slain in the encounter. Despite the fractures in their relationship, Cecil can't really get over the fact that, while Daemon was no where close to perfect, he was her father, and the bond they had combined with the sacrifice he made is something can't help but grieve over.

"Oh, my God, I feel it in the air Telephone wires above are sizzlin' like a snare Honey, I'm on fire, I feel it everywhere Nothin' scares me anymore (One, two, three, four)

Kiss me hard before you go Summertime sadness I just wanted you to know That, baby, you the best

I got that summertime, summertime sadness Su-su-summertime, summertime sadness Got that summertime, summertime sadness Oh, oh-oh, oh

Think I'll miss you forever Like the stars miss the sun in the mornin' sky Later's better than never Even if you're gone, I'm gonna drive, drive, drive

I got that summertime, summertime sadness Su-su-summertime, summertime sadness Got that summertime, summertime sadness Oh, oh-oh, oh."

Wouldn't It Be Nice if Metatron and Xiang could just sit down and get along for a few moments while looking past their species prejudices and work on agreeing that something needs to be done about the Soulmate System, because it's definitely malfunctioning? Said by Azriel and Jezebel as they "fight" while their caretakers are getting deep into that steel on steel, sword on bullet action.

"Wouldn't it be nice if we were older? Then we wouldn't have to wait so long And wouldn't it be nice to live together In the kind of world where we belong?

You know it's gonna make it that much better When we can say goodnight and stay together

Wouldn't it be nice if we could wake up In the morning when the day is new? After having spent the day together Hold each other close the whole night through

But happy times together we've been spending I wish that every kiss was never ending Oh, wouldn't it be nice

Maybe if we think and wish and hope and pray it might come true And, baby, then there wouldn't be a single thing we couldn't do Oh, we could be married (Oh, we could be married) And then we'd be happy (And then we'd be happy) Oh, wouldn't it be nice

You know it seems the more we talk about it It only makes it worse to live without it But let's talk about it Oh, wouldn't it be nice?

Goodnight, oh baby Sleep tight, oh baby Goodnight, oh baby Sleep tight, oh baby Goodnight, oh baby Sleep tight, oh baby!"

Love & Hate - Matthew Sturniolo

summary: Y/n and Matt grow close after meeting at work, but they’re relationship falls apart. A year later they decided to meet up but during their hangout they accept the fact that their friendship has come to an end

word count: 941

a/n: thank you to @dominicfikeenthusiast for the title and the idea!!

Day 1

Y/n never believed in love at first sight. She always thought it only ever happened in movies but when she walked into the office on that Monday morning and saw Matt sitting there too focused on his work to even acknowledge her presence, something shifted. Just as Y/n walked by Matt looked up at her with welcoming eyes making her heart flutter

Matt didn’t think much of her at first. He’d seen new people come and go but there was something about her that felt different. It wasn’t just the way Y/n smiled or the way she laughed at his jokes. It was how easy it was to talk to Y/n, how comfortable it felt to just be around her. Little did he know this was the beginning of something that would change him

Day 22

They’d been working together for a few weeks now, occasionally going out for friendly lunch dates. One afternoon Y/n mentioned one of her favorite bands and Matt’s eyes lit up. He loved The Smiths for as long as he could remember. He’s never had a friend who also liked them so he was excited to be able to nerd out about them. “You like them too?!” Matt asked almost in disbelief

Y/n grinned, “Of course! they’re the best break up band ever!”

It was a simple conversation but it felt monumental. They started sharing more music discovering mutual likes and dislikes. Before they knew it they were spending most of their free time together. Matt found himself looking forward to seeing Y/n every day and Y/n couldn’t help but feel the same

Day 76

Y/n and Matt started developing feelings for each other and everyone around them knew. They spent the day wandering through the city, stopping by a vintage record store that Matt had been dying to show Y/n. They laughed flipped through records and eventually found themselves sitting on a park bench talking about life, dreams, and everything in between

“Do you ever feel like you’re looking for something, but you don’t know what it is?” Matt asked, his voice soft, almost vulnerable

Y/N nodded, “Yeah… all the time”

They sat in comfortable silence for a while. The city’s noise fading into the background. For a moment it felt like they were the only two people in the world

Day 143

Things were good, great even. They were inseparable. Spending nights watching movies, mornings grabbing coffee and doing anything that caused them to be together. But as time went on Y/n started to notice something. Matt was pulling back. It was subtle, almost unnoticeable but it was there. The texts were slower, the conversations shorter and the laughter not as frequent

“Is everything okay?” Y/n asked one night as they sat on Matt’s couch, a movie playing in the background

Matt hesitated running a hand through his hair. “Yeah I’m just… thinking about a lot of things”

Y/n wanted to ask more but something held her back. Maybe it was fear or maybe it was the quiet hope that things would go back to how they were. But deep down Y/n knew that something had changed

Day 259

It wasn’t working anymore and they both knew it. What started as something beautiful had slowly unraveled piece by piece until there was nothing left but the memories of what used to be their friendship

“I think we need to take a break” Matt said one evening, his voice heavy with regret

Y/N’s heart sank, shattered even but she nodded. “Yeah maybe we do”

They spent that night apart and the days that followed were filled with a painful silence. It was like a song that had once been their favorite but now just reminded them of everything that had gone wrong

Day 365

A year had passed since they first met and life had moved on. Y/n had started to find happiness in other things. New hobbies, new friends. But the memory of Matt was still there. Lingering like a half remembered dream. They hadn’t spoken in months but Y/n often wondered how he was doing, if he missed her too

Then one day out of the blue Matt texted. It was a simple message. Just a “Hey how’ve you been?” But it was enough to bring back a flood of memories

They met up for coffee and it was like seeing an old friend. The conversation was easy, the laughs genuine. They talked about their lives, the changes they’d gone through and the lessons they’d learned. It wasn’t about rekindling what they had. It was about acknowledging it, understanding it and moving forward

As they parted ways that day Y/n realized something. What she had with Matt was special. Even if it didn’t last forever and that was okay. Life was full of moments. Some brief, some lasting, but all important in their own way

Matt smiled as he waved goodbye and Y/n smiled back feeling a sense of closure. They both knew that their story wasn’t about a happy ending. It was about growth, change and the realization that sometimes people come into your life for a reason… even if it’s just for 500 days.

Day 500

The memories of their time together would always be a part of them but both Matt and Y/n had moved on finding happiness in different ways, and as Y/n walked down the street. A familiar song played in the background. It wasn’t their song anymore but it brought a smile to Y/n’s face. Life was moving forward but she couldn’t get him out of her mind. She knows she should move on but something’s holding her back….

Evening Standard - April 17, 2005

At 33 - he celebrates his 34th birthday on Monday - Tennant is one of the youngest actors to tackle the part, giving the time traveler a youthful image. [ Back in 2005, only Peter Davison had been younger than David when he took on the role of The Doctor ]

Doctor Who Magazine - Issue 584 (Nov 2022) - Benjamin Cook

Now 51, David is the third oldest actor to inherit Doctor Who's lead role.  He's four years younger than William Hartnell and Peter Capaldi when they debuted, one year older than Jon Pertwee, and 16 years older than Tenth Doctor actor David Tennant, to whom the Fourteenth Doctor actor David Tennant may be distantly related.  (They look almost identical.) Whew, who are we kidding?  It's him!  The one and only.  David Tennant is back - 12 years, nine months and 22 days after he hung up his Converse and regenerated into Matt Smith.  The world has changed a lot since New Year's Day 2010, but David looks the same.  Maybe he's an actual time traveler.

David Tennant - one of the youngest AND oldest Doctors!

...for Tennant Tuesday (or whatever day this post finds you)

The Almost People

[what-gs-watching]

“What good did love do, Doctor? When did it ever help?”

So I spent last week at my parent’s house finally pulling off the surprise birthday party I’d been planning for months for my mother and I was there for farrrrr too long and I ate waaaay too much and I only had six days from when I got home to get my head right and ready to start a new job after nine effing months of doing nothing. 

I’m starting on Monday and I’m super anxious about it, and everyone is posting about what’s going on with Doctor Who so obviously I decided to let Ruby and 15 turn my brain off for a bit, it’s the least they can do. Maybe that was a mistake, because woooooof y’all. I’m devastated that the season is already over. 

And as such, we def need to talk about both of these episodes at the same time. 

The Legend of Ruby Sunday / Empire of Death

Wherein, The Doctor and Ruby show up to UNIT to finally ask about the old woman they keep running into on their adventures, and immediately very purposefully fall into a trap. 

I have to say, as much as I love 15, baby boy has NOT been very observant this season. He’s caught up in having fun and showing his feelings and all of that is fantastic and beautiful but if this had been 10 or 11 they would have been mulling over this situation the entirety of the season and I probably wouldn’t feel so much like I just got whiplash. 

Like, the internet has been telling me to think about this random ass lady, instead of seeing the Doctor trying to puzzle her out in his downtime. And that’s the first time I’ve really thought to myself, ‘this is incredibly unlike the doctor.’ But we’re going to let it slide, because he’s otherwise charmed the pants off of me.

There was a lot I was definitely about in these episodes, in no particular order - 

OBVIOUSLY, the Rose / Ruby bonding. Absolutely adorable. They immediately gravitated to each other and I love that. It’s so sweet. And I’ll take ANY scrap of 14 I can get, but 15 asking ‘how’s your uncle?’ really made me greedy for more. Couldn’t my girl Rose given like, even the smallest cute little anecdote? Like ‘oh, he’s really into gardening right now…’ or something? Gimme like, even the littlest bit. I neeeed it. But fine. 

15’s outfits. I’ve loved all of the stuff they’ve put him in all season but HELLO that leather jacket and the cozy sweater he had on in the mish mash TARDIS? Gorgeous. Beautiful. I want to buy it right now.

Also, the mish mash TARDIS itself, and the little kiss 15 gives it at one point. Love all the random throwbacks inside that little thing even if I don’t know most of them because no, I never went back and watched the original seasons, so sue me. I’m pretty sure I spotted 11’s little scanner tv thing though, and I love that. I miss Matt Smith. 

And the Doctor lashing out and punching the wall and huffing and puffing and screaming and then Mel giving him a kick in the ass. I’m going to keep talking about how I love that 15 is actually okay with showing his feelings, but I do think he got too lost in them. We all been there, boo. But like, you heard that sick TARDIS sound (that’s going to haunt my dreams) and you were just like ‘oh I’ve heard that before’? BOY you are so distracted. 

Anyway, I’m vaguely aware there’s background on Sutekh that I should probably google if I want to fully understand the situation, but I’m not gonna do it. I accept that it’s the god of death and the doctor fought it once and banished it to the time vortex, but I have to say, I find the rest of the storyline a little bit weird. It hitched a ride on the TARDIS and traveled with the Doctor for basically untold amounts of time and no one ever noticed? And it’s appearance is NOT related to 14 casting that salt at the end of the universe, even though it was pretty clear that the rest of the random god appearances were? 

I guess I’m willing to accept all of that, but gang. Here’s the thing. After all of that time traveling around and watching the Doctor do what he does (and admittedly trying to sabotage him by planting harbingers? I guess? Wherever they went?) you’re still not going to kill him right off when you finally hatch your plot? You KNOW he gets out of things. You know he literally gets out of everything. You’ve watched him wiggle his way out of shit because his adversaries have given him an inch but you’re like ‘it’s fine, that won’t be me, because I REALLY need to know who this random human’s mother is?’ 

Nah. Nah nah nah. Like, maybe if you had really tried to kill him and he got out of it, I’d be like, ‘okay fine’ but that death cloud was half-assed and they beat it on like, a moped. 

If we’re going with real scary gods that have literally the power of basically everything, I’m gonna want their actions to make sense. 

I also have to admit that when the Doctor was monologuing about how the whole thing was his fault, when he said about all of the things he’s done “I thought it was fun”, I found myself thinking about how he really has been playing a game of his own devising and maybe he…shouldn’t. And it felt like maybe he thought that, too. Like, when is it gonna be enough for him? 

The point is, It’s super sweet that Ruby got to figure her shit out, they got me I cried at all of that, but the whole thing did feel a little disjointed to me. Which is fine, because now I’m sitting here like, ‘yo I need more’ but there isn’t more, not for forever, and clearly that’s how they get you. The arch wasn’t a cliff hanger really but also it kind of was and I’m unsatisfied. Maybe that’s the point. 

And I do now agree with Tumblr that the most interesting thing in all of this is how 14 and Donna reacted to the death cloud, and their reconstitution, and the realization that Rose was at UNIT during the entire thing - that’s going to occupy my brain for a really long time.

At the end of the day, eight episodes was not enough. But I’m SO  endeared to 15 and I love the direction the show is going, haters can hate all they want but Doctor Who was always weird and it was always for outcasts and it’s beautiful and stupid and silly and wonderful. Wonderful and perfectly imperfect. 

Friends, this season came at a time I really needed it. I'm thankful it helped me through my forced work hiatus, it's part of the tapestry that kept me going. And that's the good that love does. Doctor Who, I love you.

• Round up of some Rhaenyra and Daemon specific spoilers from today

[orchidvioletindigo]

Hey y'all remember that post I made in June about a white male Fort Wayne PD officer who killed a young black man named Linzell "Zelly" Parhm at a traffic stop?

Same cop, Mason Wills, just got caught on camera alongside another white male FWPD officer, Matt Pierr, brutalizing a black woman named Tyjana Smith at a traffic stop.

The language they use to describe her is almost unbelievably loaded with fatphobia and misogynoir. Everything about Tyjana and her actions in defense of herself is characterized as violent and dangerous. They say she weighed well over 200 lbs and used her tremendous size against them when she in fact only weighs 180 lbs and is 5'4". They even call her leaning away from their grabbing hands violent.

Tyjana thankfully survived this encounter but was thrown in jail. Wills and Pierr had the gall to complain about abrasions and pain they sustained from this encounter while not mentioning that they repeatedly punched Tyjana in the face.

[randomdragonfires]

blessed monday morning to me. now THAT was an episode.

the show is getting better and better. :)

also.

AEMOND!?!?!??!?!? I'll need a few days to recover from THAT shot ok BYE

Alicent and Rhaenyra y'all have my heart ok THANKS

Also. I loved Daemon in this episode. Arrogant charm that we saw in the initial stages that had me hook, line and sinker. Damn you, Matt Smith. You're good. I'M SUPPOSED TO HATE THIS GUY😭

I will be late to work today but it will be worth it.❤️

The Ancient Attainment

(Chapter 1)

(Monday 1st, June, 20XX, 9:30 am)

It was a busy morning, normally due to the local citizens of Gotham waking up and heading to work or their summer jobs, whatever they had but not in the case of Pyrope.

For you see, Pyrope wasn't a human. He was a gemstone, a sentient one, in fact. Pyrope stood at the height of 6'6", which many claim he could be a basketball player, but Pyrope only brushed their comments off and away.

Anyway, Pyrope's whole colouration was a deep red, fitting for someone whose occupation is a lawyer, giving the phrase "Hot-shot lawyer" a literal meaning. Pyrope dons a red pinstripe suit, with his upper buttons, unbuttoned, revealing his ceylon-cut pyrope gemstone on his chest area, which twinkles in anticipation. In addition, he had his red coat casually draped over his shoulders, blowing in the wind but never flying off his shoulders.

Moreover, Pyrope was blind and thus, he wore a red blindfold over his supposed eyes, and he never took it off, ever.

As for his personality, well, he was stoic, calm, and composed. He believes that justice should be above anything else and if they disagree, well...Pyrope would result in his plan B: A fight.

For you see, actions speak louder than words, and in the case of Pyrope, he'd have to agree with that statement completely. Even though he was blind, Pyrope wasn't weak. He could easily take care of himself, just like that fellow...what was his name again? Matt Murdock? Yeah, that bloke.

Pyrope met him once. He respected Mr. Murdock as Mr. Murdock respected Pyrope back. It was nice to meet someone as blind but strong as Mr. Murdock.

However, Pyrope snapped out from his past memories and 'overlooked' Gotham City from his window from his own private office. Even though he didn't have his sight, Pyrope could still use his other senses. His touch, smell, hearing, and taste senses.

He could touch the glass, he could smell the scent of smoke from outside his office, he could hear as his colleagues talked and laughed outside from his office and he could taste the wonderful and expensive flavor of red wine and rosè, even without taking a sip of those drinks.

Pyrope had little pleasures. His list would look like this:

Justice.

His romantic partners (Zebra Jasper and Ametrine)

Red wine and Rosè.

He was a man or, rather, a gemstone of simple things. He didn't want things that were too grand and extravagant. He liked them all too simple.

A knock was heard on Pyrope's office door.

Pyrope, with a stoic but authoritarian voice, spoke up.

"Come in."

Mr. Kevin Smith, a colleague of Pyrope's, opened the door and came inside Pyrope's office, closing the door behind him in the process. Pyrope turned his gaze, calmly, towards Kevin.

"May I ask what brings you into my office as of today, Mr. Smith?" Pyrope inquired politely. This was another unique and different feature about Pyrope, with the expectation of his appearance. Pyrope is always polite, even when he's supposed to feel anger, sadness, or fear. However, Pyrope didn't show those emotions (because he can't) and instead replies and deals with a calm and polite manner.

"Well, Mr. Pyrope... I got this invitation from the one and only Mr. Bruce Wayne, the millionaire playboy and CEO of Wayne Enterprises." Kevin replied back to Pyrope's question.

Bruce Wayne? Pyrope knew and heard of Bruce, but he thought little of Bruce as possible. Not because Pyrope didn't like Bruce, but because he honestly didn't have any thoughts about Bruce, but Pyrope knew one thing about Bruce: He had a secret.

"Is that so? And where has he invited us and what for? Pyrope inquired politely yet again.

Kevin started to fidget with his thumbs nervously before replying back to Pyrope's question.

"Well, h-he invited us at his Manor for a charity event he's doing tonight."

Pyrope could sense that Kevin was nervous but didn't know why.

"May I ask why you're nervous, Mr. Smith?" Pyrope asked kindly.

"I'm sorry, sir. I'm just nervous because we'll be meeting Mr. Wayne at his Manor, that's all." Kevin replied a bit too quickly and pretended that he was fine, even though he wasn't, which Pyrope could sense this but didn't push about it.

"Alright, if you say so, and thank you for telling me about the invitation, Mr. Smith. It means a lot. Now, I shall head outside for...observational duties." Pyrope stated, turning to pick up his red colored cane, which was leaning against his desk. After he did so, he walked towards his office door, with his red cane in his left hand and with graceful steps, but before he could exit through it, he heard Kevin's voice speak up behind him.

"Good luck out there, Mr. Pyrope."

Pyrope turned his gaze towards Kevin and simply stated: "I am married to luck. It will always be by my side."

Finally, Pyrope exits through his office door, leaving Kevin alone in his office.
