I reached a 1000 followers! That calls for a celebration!
Besides writing and horses, I have one other passion. A passion that has brought me to tears, had me dance and sing at the top of my lungs. A passion that made me feel whole and is the soundtrack of my life in de good times and the bad. You guessed it: MUSIC!
I can hear you thinking; but what does music have to do with ‘going Dutch’? Simple. I’m Dutch, and so is a group of incredibly talented musicians. Very few are known globally, despite the amazing talent they possess. I want to do my bit and introduce my followers to music made in Holland by hosting a writer’s challenge. I made a selection of 75 songs, produced by Dutch singers and bands. There’s rock, country, pop, folk, soul, even some symphonic metal; plenty to choose from!
Writers can participate by choosing a song from the list below. But that’s not all. Non-writers can send in a request! I have gathered a team of writers; @winchest09, @girl-with-a-fandom-fettish, @kittenofdoomage, @talesmaniac89, @dissect-me and myself. Your request will be written by any of these skilled artists. That way, everyone can join the celebration!
Rules:
Writers:
Your fanfiction is based on Supernatural or their actors.
When you have found a song you like, send me an ask or a message.
If the song is not taken yet, I will confirm and scratch it off the list in this post.
You’re allowed to pick more than one song.
Drabbles, one shots, full blown series; you are free to type down as many words as you would like! No word limit.
Use the title of the song you have chosen as your fanfic title.
Use (a part of the) lyrics in the story. One sentence is enough, but if you want to use every word sung, knock yourself out.
Mention @katehuntington when you post the fic and use the hashtag #Kate Huntington’s 1K celebration in the tags. You will be added to the masterlist and I will share your story. If I haven’t reblogged within a week, shoot me a message to make sure I got your tag.
The deadline is January 31st, 2021. Why this date? Because I realize some of you will be working to fill out Bingo cards, so the time limit for this challenge is a month later.
Please make sure to add trigger warnings and to use the ‘keep reading’ feature when the story is over 500 words long.
Non-writers:
Your request is based on Supernatural or their actors.
When you have found a song you like, send me an ask or a message. Besides the song title + artist, give us an idea of what you want written (summary, ship, prompt, fluff/angst/smut, etc.)
You cannot request a writer.
You can request RPF, AU’s, A/B/O, but also Destiel, Wincest, and other ships. Every writer on the team has their specialty. However, if you request something neither of our writers is comfortable with, we will let you know so you can change your request if you like to.
You will be tagged in the original post. Every writer will publish the request on their own blog.
All stories will be gathered in a special masterlist for this celebration, which will be updated frequently. The final masterlist update will be on February 1st, 2021.
Keep reading to find the songs selected for this challenge!

BLACK FRIDAY SPOILERS
The following post contains spoilers for the new musical, Black Friday, by Team Starkid. Continue reading at your own risk.
MY FAVORITE PARTS FROM THE BLACK FRIDAY DIGITAL TICKET + OTHER COMMENTARY (IN ORDER OF HOW THEY APPEAR) WHILE WATCHING IT FOR THE 4TH OR 5TH TIME [contains very harsh and explicit language]
**These points will be brought up in another post (involving the Hatchetfield Universe theories)
The ENTIRETY of the Wiggly jingle at the beginning
Jaime saying “his belly’s so squishy!” while jumping up and down
The tights
“Uncle Wiley, where does Wiggly come from?”
James Tolbert (Team Starkid choreographer-turned-actor) STOLE the show
Curt Mega’s dancing in that song killed me
“DO THE WIGGLE!”
ROBERT AND JAMES DANCING WAS EVERYTHING
**Paul still doesn’t like musicals? (I have a theory of where this show takes place in the Hatchetfield Universe but that’s for another post)
The way Paul looks at Emma when she’s on her Cabbage Patch Kid rant!
“I’m Paul. I’m Emma’s...boyfriend.”//“Well, we haven’t put a label on it yet.”//“But we are intimate.” (Bonus: Emma’s glare)
Paul is still awkward I love him.
“I do not get flashbacks. I remember bad things vividly.”
“Thank you for your service.”//“I didn’t do it for you.”
“Ski-ball sucks.” (I wholeheartedly disagree but whatever)
Grace Chastity is Tom’s babysitter for Tim confirmed
Okay. Okay. Okay. OKAY.
TOM JUST WANTS TO MAKE IT UP TO HIS SON BECAUSE HE FEELS GUILTY ABOUT THE CRASH I’M SOFT
DYLAN SAUNDERS STILL STEALING HEARTS
WHY DO YOU GIVE DYLAN ALL OF THE HEART-WRENCHING SONGS????? I DON’T NEED TO CRY AT 4AM
THE LIGHTING
“Excuse me, miss. Do you think it’s okay for me to park here?”//“Yeah, it says ‘no parking at any time’ but I’m sure the loading trucks can just park across the street. Does that work for you?”
“If I won’t support my drinking habit, who will?”
“Hark, the herald angels sing. Glory to a newborn king. A fuckin’ furry little monster’s gonna make me a pile of cash.”
“Tell me, Lex. Do you know why they call it Black Friday?”//“Because it comes after Thursday?”
“Well, friend-o. I have a feeling that these little babies are going to take you so far into the black that you ain’t never comin’ back.” *long uncomfortable pause*
“Oh, you’re gonna make a killin’. That’s an Uncle Wiley’s Toys guarantee!”
FRANK HUGGING THE BOX OF WIGGLYS
“Hark, the herald angels sing. Glory to a newborn king. Peace on Earth, and lots of money. MONEYMONEYMONEYMONEY just for ME.”
JON’S VOICE AS WIGGLY I CAN’T
“mALL security we got a shoplifter. Drop that doll!” (His voice crack killed me oh my God)
HIS OUTFIT (The first time I saw him I went “Oh my God he’s emo”)
“Where’s my sister?”// “Oh no.” *stares dramatically* “Hannah?” *even more dramatic* “Is that what you’ve been telling me every day for the past four weeks? To pick up your kid sister?” *grabbing Lex* “Oh, I must’ve forgot because I’m so stupid.” Ethan needs to take up drama
“Do I gotta put a leash on you like a dog, or my cousin Oliver?”
“Don’t pull her.”//*voice crack* “I’m nOt.”
“Alright banana split.” i’m not crying
“You see this hat? This was gifted to me by a great warrior.” *Lex laughs*/*Ethan turns around slowly* “Don’t you fuckin’ laugh.”
“I’d make a great dad, I’m just sayin’.” (Ethan isn’t a horrible person he’s just misguided)
“My mom’s a bitch!”
Honestly the way Ethan looks at Lex
*in the middle of singing* “That’s not how cameras work, babe.”
Hannah’s dancing
ROBERT’S WIGGLES DURING “We’re missing in action.”
“Dear mom, it’s been real."
“I’d say you did your best, but I’m not a liar.”//“Oh, L-I-E-R, babe.”//“We get it Ethan, you’re a good speller.”
“PS: Get yourself a new trailer, because this one? Is BROKE AS SHIT!”
Robert in skinny jeans. Can Robert wear skinny jeans more often please?
Hannah doing the “smoking” thing with her hands.
“Hannah! What the fuck is this [imitating it]?That better be fucking FLOSS.”
UGH LAUREN AS LINDA MONROE IS LEGENDARY
“That’s called a bribe, sir, and it’s illegal...or it should be.”
“I have four boys. Four beautiful, blond, boys.”
“Do you really think your children are better than everyone else’s.”// “In so many words, YES.”
“I hope you don’t get a Wiggly. I hope you fucking die.”
“Well, my children were accidents.”
“Stop crying, Gerald. I wasn’t talking to you.”
The way Tom and Becky looked at each other when they met again ugh.
Whatever that song is called when the Hatchetfield citizens were gossiping about it like I think it’s called “What Do You Say?” or something?
“Tom’s put on some weight.”
“I heard Tom is seeing things.”
Jon is serving looks.
The dance they did when they said “all the years that had fun” killed me
Curt Mega is a treasure
“It’s cold out.”//“Nothing really.”//“How are things?”//“Haven’t seen it.”
“Oh my, God, it’s a train-wreck.”//“My favorite.”//“Give me my tub of popcorn.”//“Just skip to the fucking.”//“She’d never--.”//“Either way this is torture porn.”
“I think I’ll step in and save her.”// “You don’t have half of a chance, bitch.”
“THERE, she looked at his crotch.”//“He looked at her boobs.”
“I like dolls. I’m just kidding. I don’t like dolls. At least, not like that.”// “I missed you.” *everyone freaks out*
The dance that looks like a beating heart around them I love.
“Did you know if you spend money, your kids will love you maybe.”
COREY DORRIS NEEDS APPRECIATION BYE
“Give us your fucking money. Give us your fucking cash.”
SERIOUSLY I CAN’T WAIT FOR THIS RECORDING
“Do we have any morality.”
“What’s a grown man going to do with 85 dolls?”// “Well, one will stay in the box for posterity. One will be used exclusively for bath time.”
“If you’re going to make with the hysterics, TAKE IT TO MACY’S.”// “How dare you. Are you hearing this, Gerald? Yes, call my attorney.”
“I’ll tickle one doll, and one doll will tickle me.”
The bidding war.
“Get your hands off her.”// “Fuck YOU.”
The lighting slowly gets red when they start bidding.
“$800.”//“$3.”//“Can I use these coupons?”
“Well, if you’re not going to sell me that doll, I guess I’ll just gonna have to take it.”
“If he gets one, I’m getting four.” *Linda climbs the counter like Draco*
So the lighting during “Feast or Famine” is just???? The green and red??? Like holiday colors but at the same time it’s representative of greed and rage????
Just all of “Feast or Famine”
“What’s shaking banana, you okay?” I’M HAVING FEELINGS UGH
“What’s up with that grammar. Even I know it’s ‘more badder’.” Ethan no
ETHAN NO
“Give me that fucking doll I’m in a hurry.” Okay, Jeff you freaking gremlin man
WHO BRINGS A KNIFE SHOPPING?? Unless he stole that, too.
“Do you see him? Do you see him? Do you see him?”//“YES, I fucking see him!”
James as “Obama” I’m crying
“I’ll hold onto the little...uh...whippersnapper.”
“While you three devise a strategy, I’ll hold on to the little friend.”// “Shut the fuck up!”
“You’re nothing more than a Harvard Law School community organizing prick!” I’M SCREAMING
“Take one step closer to my fwendy-wend and I’ll rip your fucking throat out with my own teeth.”
“No, he’s mine! Back off or I will send a laser-guided ballistic missile to your house in Denver. You’ll be scraping off what’s left of your kids off the FUCKING pavement.”
“MORRIS. Give me that COCK-SUCKING MOTHERFUCKING COCK-A-DOODLE-DOLL” CURT MEGA IS A TREASURE
“I’ll bite your dick off!”
THE AUDIENCE (AND MY) REACTION TO MCNAMARA
*Obama voice* “Oh, I’m gonna vomit.”
“I hope you don’t mind if I let myself in.”// “Into the oval office?”
“Monsters and Men” IS A BOP
*yeets the Wiggly off stage*
“DECK THE HALLS” IS A BOP
I would 100% watch “Santa Claus is Going to High School” unironically
“Jingle! Jangle! If anyone sees two elves in my locker, I’ll get expelled for sure.”
The dancing UGH
Lauren is the cutest elf ever
PART THREE OF LAUREN AND ROBERT DOING A CUTE DANCE TOGETHER
“What the fuck am I watching?”
Becky talking about her ex-husband breaks my heart. I would die for her.
“You say you killed your family. I hope I killed mine.” My heart is breaking help me
Becky and Tom are freaking CUTE
“Take Me Back” is the cutest song ever
All of the times the characters mention other dimensions and stuff??? Each has a different context, but Joey’s character did say that Hatchetfield was a special town earlier in the show so????
All of the making out I’m done
Becky’s leg
“I knew you weren’t Santa.”//“A red tricycle.”//“SANTA!” *starts making out*
“This is the best movie ever!”
Robert has to make out with two people every day.
**PEIP deals with Paranormal, Extraterrestrial, and Interdimensional stuff, so if TGWDLM was Extraterrestrial, and BF is Interdemensional, will Nerdy Prudes Must Die be Paranormal? Will we see PEIP again? [I’M GOING TO MAKE A SEPARATE POST ABOUT THE THEORIES WITHIN THE UNIVERSE]
**“There are many dimensions, sir.”
“You want to send me into the fucking Twilight Zone to have a sit-down with the devil?”
“They will build him his birth canal.” Ew
Sherman Young is so freaking creepy

“Kids don’t want that piece of shit.”//“What?”//“They’re all into Fortnight, dude!”
“I mean, you’re like 40! You probably think your life is over!”
“Everyone is dying, and that includes me, too.” Jeff is a lyrical genius but he needs to back off of whatever angsty juice he’s drinking.
“If I fail you one more time, the punishment won’t match the crime, cause there’s no pain that could ever explain how I let you down.”
“I failed you once, and I will fail again.” I cried when I watched this the first time
“If I Fail You” is such an emotional song
“Alright, let’s go.”//“Fuck, yeah! Should I move these boxes first?”//“Fuck, yeah.”
Charlotte? Where did you come from???
“The only man that’ll have her now is Jack Daniels.”

Meme Time
I was tagged by @riley1cannon and possibly @briarlily (I feel like you tagged me in something similar to this, and I forgot to like it so I could do it at a later time. If that’s the case I’m so sorry!!)
The rules are:
-post the rules
-answer the questions given to you by the tagger
- write eleven questions of your own
-tag eleven people
@riley1cannon‘s questions....
There’s a door up ahead, a portal to some other place or time. It might be Narnia, it might be the Twilight Zone; you won’t know until you step through. Do you step through? Considering the possibility might be the Twilight Zone, then absolutely not.
People Magazine is starting a new tradition of selecting the sexiest dead celebrity. Who should be on the first cover? Carrie Fisher
What are your favorite movies (limit five)? I always have a hard time when people ask for favorites, because I blank, but I’m going to try: Pride and Prejudice (2005), Howl’s Moving Castle, Beauty and the Beast (animated), weirdly I used to watch Father of the Bride part ll A LOT when I was younger, The Proposal
Do you like board games? Depends on the board game.
Can you sing? Decently. Not as well practiced since I haven’t been in high school choir in a very long time.
Who is a historical figure you would like to meet and have dinner with? Jane Austen
Can you keep a secret? Yes
Would you use a Ouija board? If this were a horror movie, my appearance would dictate that yes, I would. Since this isn’t a horror movie however, no I absolutely would not.
What’s your favorite comfort food? Too many, honestly. Really love french fries with ranch dressing though.
How many languages do you speak? Very little French unfortunately. Took two semesters of it in school, but it’s really not enough to get a lot of the information to stick.
Are you an optimist, a pessimist, or a realist? I feel as if I can be all three, though I try to be an optimist when I can.
My Questions....
What is something you are most nostalgic about?
Is there a book that you read as a child that has really stuck with you all these years? If so, what was it?
You’re going on a road trip! What sort of music are you going to play?
A machine exists that can transport you to the past, fantastical fictional places, or anywhere in the current world you would like to go. Someone is paying for you to go on the trip of your dreams, so with the aid of this machine, where would it be?
If you could be best friends with a celebrity, who would it be?
What food do you always find yourself craving?
Is there any exotic pet that you wish you could own?
What was your most recent dream like?
Is there a store where you find yourself shopping at the most, whether it be online, or in store?
Whether you were involved in it a little bit, or a lot, what was your very first fandom?
It’s incredibly cold outside, so you decide to warm up with a hot drink. What would be your warm drink of choice? If you don’t like hot drinks, then what would your preferred drink be?
Feel free to do this even if I don’t tag you, but tag me so I can know that you did it! Also, if I do tag you, please don’t feel like you HAVE to do this. I understand if you don’t want to, or can’t. I tag....

what to do when you bored on free time
We turn on our T.V. or our Gaming Console we medicate ourselves with weed, Alcohol, Drugs and etc..just burn time .
what to do when your bored time , what to do when your bored on free time,things to do when bored, What is complete waste? , if you are even the slightest bit serious about becoming a winner in the Game of life..Here are the 10 most importance things you need start spending your time on.
Watch behind scenes of science fiction movies and VFX setup -- Please watch film making videos or behind scenes of your favorite movies like Hollywood movies --| Avatar, Avengers End game, The jungle book, Game of thrones, Man Of Steel, Superman vs Justice league, 2012, Final destination 5, Aqua-man, Spider man-2, Fast & Furious series, Maleficent -2, The Matrix Reloaded, Annabelle, Alita: Battle Angel, The Twilight Saga: all series, Life Of Pi. Bollywood movies:-- Fan, Doom-3, Bahubali, The Kapil Sharma Show, M.S Dhoni:, Zero, Rotot 2.0
Exercise:- I think exercise is a no brainer, the sheer benefits alone are just staggering and if you guys are not exercise already I suggest you start dusting off those old trainers and get yourself moving. Just to name a few benefits of exercise; You'll look better, you will lose weight, you'll become lean, you will gain muscle if you want to, and generally you will become fit as a fiddle. And these are just the physical benefits of exercise. Other include, improved sleep, improved memory, improved less depression, and thanks to the endorphins released during exercise you will feel much better and happier, plus so many more benefits! Plus you get to live longer too.. Now this second task is crucial with so much free time on our hands we need to have the energy To be active, during this time. A few centuries ago we used to move around and lift things, Almost all of our jobs required us to work out our bodies whether it had be tending to the farms or creating tools in the workshop But now most of us work behind computer screens and registers we are not getting the right amount of exercise that our body needs to function properly. It's actually been proven by studies that people who workout have more energy throughout the day.
Develop a hobby or skill:- There is a high probability that the reason you are bored is that you are uninspired to do anything, or you simply have nothing to do. You can easily deal with both issues simply by developing a new skill or a new hobby. So let's assume my friend Derrick, when Derrick was a lot younger, he had always wanted to learn how to play the guitar. It was one of those things, that he would tell himself that he would start working on, but never actually got around to ever doing it, and he would always blame the lack of time for not ever getting started. Unfortunately a lot of us suffer from this form of procrastination and Derrick is no exception. But fortunately for him he now has some time on his hands. If you have nothing to do, and are hence, bored, you should think about developing a new skill or founding a new hobby. Hobbies includes cycling, making new friends. and traveling, among others. You can use them to get out of your comfort zone and challenge yourself some more. For example, bungee jumping is a pretty crazy hobby, and doing it could give you the courage to finally start that company you keep talking about. Other productive things you can do are..
Start a business:- We live in an age where it's never been easier to start a business or a side hustle and start make a living from it. The internet has fundamentally changed the way people and business do things, and it has literally created hundreds of different ways to make money online and earn a living from it. You can start a blog, write a book, start an Instagram page, do Shopify or successful YouTube channel,nice. There is literally a ton of different ways to make money online, you just need to do a bit of research, start something, stick to it and don't give up.
Read a Book:- Successful people never stop learning, and reading books is in fact a great way to get inspired and motivated. increase your knowledge and also your income. Books teleport you into a whole new world. Some books take you to the starts, and you meet a guy like Han solo while other take you into Westeros, where seven kingdoms with the craziest people are found. Some book will teach you how to develop a new skill, others about our history, while others will teach you something new and interesting about our world. Reading books is a sure fire way to increase ones knowledge. Also it makes you a more interesting person to talk to.
Evaluate Your Goals and set Plans:- I known all of us have some goals we would like to achieve, whether you wrote them down on a piece of paper or stored them in your minds memory box, we all have goals and aspirations we would like to achieve. So since you are bored...and supposedly have nothing better to do? why not start evaluate your goals? If you are interested, here's a tip! Make short and long-term plans of how you intend to achieve your goals. In that moment you are mindlessly starting at the celling and wondering whether that girl in the office likes you, begin planning in your mind how you intend to achieve your goals. A good tip I learned from the 7 Habits of highly effective people by Stephen Covey is to begin with the end in mind. See yourself already achieving the goal and work your way backwards. For Example let's say Derrick, plans on buying a car this year. What he can do is, start putting aside a little cash every day or week, by cutting down on unnecessary expenses.
Meditate:- One of the most productive things you can do in your spare time is to meditate. And I known what you are thinking, productive? Meditation?---Can those two even go in the same sentence? Is not that a self-contradicting statement! And I known a lot of you are probably thinking this, but meditation is one of the most important and productive habits you can foster. There are literally thousands of studies which support that even meditating for only 5 minutes in a day can lead to a plethora of benefits. My favorites being peace of mind and happiness...and I know meditation can seem like one of the most boring mundane things in the world, especially when you are bored, but the benefits are worth it? If you can not sit still when things are totally silent, try guided meditation. If enough of you guys are interested may be I'll even add one to my channel some day.
Do some chores :-- Do me a quick favor and just take a look around your house or bedroom and tell me what you see. If your house is anything like my friend--Derricks, it's probably a disaster. So here's what you can do.. start cleaning and arranging your house. I know doing chores can be one of the most boring tasks in the world, believe me I know! But walking back home to a clean neat house after the end of a hard day's work is definitely worth it. To make the task more appealing, switch on some good music; something you can sing or dance along to; something that warms up your blood. Turn up the volume and then fire up the washing machine. Who said only characters in movies get to dance when cleaning their houses? Before you know it, you will have gotten your chores out of the way, and you will probably be felling very exhausted, but also a lot happier and hopefully you will have a sense of accomplishment.
Take a class:-- Why not learn something new, a new language, try out a new cooking recipe, take an online course or just about anything ..there are tons and tons of new skills you can add to your arsenal, and best of all you do not have to pay to learn most of them. For example I learned how to animate by watching videos here on YouTube. And in a few weeks I will be taking a personal finance course, which means I should have some great new content for you guys!
Plans your year and mark important dates.:- Perhaps you got a couple birthdays and weddings you should probably mark on your calendar. And finally last but not least. Clear your damn web history! I means some of the things you guys are browsing online, my word! I'm just kidding guys, I know the practical wisdom community are innocent folks. At least I hope so. Ok so finally, perhaps a job, if you do not already have one.

Weeping Icon Interview
Weeping Icon
Weeping Icon is an experimental noise punk band based in Brooklyn, NY. All four members are long-time vets to the DIY Brooklyn music scene (former & current bands ADVAETA, Lutkie, Mantismass, Warcries, Water Temples), and they are breaking new ground with their explosive take on the traditional rock configuration. Their live show is immense and energetic; their addictive combination of searing riffs & rhythms, fearless vocals and thrillingly unexpected sounds – delivered through heaps of hair and controlled feedback – is expertly crafted into an enveloping landscape that doesn’t let up from start to finish. Their debut EP ‘Eyeball Under’ exhibits a gifted band with innovative and striking arrangements, showcasing each member excelling with beguiling aptitude… We talk to the band about primal energy, Russell Westbrook and Jane Goodall…
TSH: How would you describe the band camaraderie and level of concentration when new music is coming together?
Weeping Icon: We completely trust each other to develop parts, but if we’re stuck, we take long walks through the hallways. Our practice space is in an old pharmaceutical building that has been repurposed for just about everything imaginable, and it is completely twisted. Somehow we spend a lot of time in the bathroom talking, playing with construction materials, and generally making trouble.
TSH: For your EP entitled ‘Eyeball Under,’ what sort of lyrical expressions and perspectives do you feel primarily came into play?
Weeping Icon: This EP has a lot to do with primal energy. We are channelling a lot of the confusion and anger from current politics and we feed off each other’s intensity. There are a lot of raw expressions of anger, anxiety, and retaliation.
TSH: ‘Jail Billz’ is a stunning track. Talk us through how the band went about layering and structuring such a concise song…
Weeping Icon: Thanks. It was the first song we wrote, and it kind of set the scene for what we were going to make. Guitar and drums were the first parts written before the full band had formed, and the idea was just to make something loud, fast and physical. The other parts came together naturally from just trying to sustain the intensity and enhance it.
TSH: Moreover, what does a track like ‘Warts’ signify overall?
Weeping Icon: It’s about the impetus to lie and be secretive in protection of one’s own self-image/self-interest, and the private reassuring conversations we have with ourselves that tend to place more value on alleviating anxiety than being considerate of potentially impacted parties.
TSH: At what point in the process do you realise what you’re going to do vocally with the sounds that are being formulated?
Weeping Icon: Usually we improvise shouts, screams and nonsensical words to feel out the song. When the structures are a little bit more refined one of us feels possessed to write lyrics, haha! We all like to sing and write.
TSH: Can it at times be beneficial to not search for a specific statement and simply just embrace what comes out of you?
Weeping Icon: Yeah, I think that has been the process for writing this EP. We didn’t have a specific message, but we had a lot to say, haha. I think right now we are just trying to make something as raw and honest as possible, and usually that means figuring it out as it happens.
TSH: What sort factors do you feel are important to manifest with the band’s live offerings?
Weeping Icon: We try to channel unadulterated puppies. That is only partly a joke. We don’t stop between songs because we want to sustain the energy and for the set to be immersive. The transitions are always improvised so we are concentrating on each other and sensitive to the atmosphere the sound is building. We want people to feel very present.
TSH: In what ways does being immersed within your craft allow you to liberate yourself from stress and anxiety hurdles?
Weeping Icon: The importance of having something that belongs to you - that may be shared with other people, but isn’t made for other people - can’t be underestimated. Everyone should have a section of their lives dedicated to unadulterated self-expression: your tastes, your emotions, whatever gets your blood pumping. It’s the only real freedom you get in a world in which your success is contingent on how well you smile and stand up straight through the shit shower.
TSH: What gets played most on your YouTube binges?
Weeping Icon: Barry White, Bambara, Moon Duo, Kevin Drumm, Eleh, Young Thug. Also, the video for ‘Thunder Thighs’ by Miss Eaves - look it up now!
TSH: What brings about most laughter within the band?
Weeping Icon: Oh, we’re cheeky. We can’t tell you most of them but here are a few: the taxi driver who takes us to shows all the time and falls asleep at every red light. Sometimes we yell at him “hey! ya sleepin?!” and he laughs and keeps driving. Also, the guy who was walking around our practice space in socks that were pulled out several inches beyond his toes organizing piles of papers, and his strange Ikea scarf rack that had cables attached to it with twist ties that ended up in our practice room for several months. We hated it. Who uses twist ties for instrument cables?? Arrrgghhhh! Oh, and playing garbage hockey, with pipes and garbage.
TSH: Are certain members of the band passionate about Russell Westbrook?
Weeping Icon: Russell Westbrook is such a pure basketball player. It’s wildly inspiring to see him put everything out there, and for Oklahoma City of all places. He is absolutely one of my favourite players of all time. This question speaks to me, but the other 3 members were very confused. Haha! (SL).
TSH: Also, how much of a legend is Jane Goodall to you?
Weeping Icon: ALL THE LEGEND! She is the personal hero of two members of this band, one of whom is actually a cousin of hers and the other studied anthro and read all her books. SHE IS A MESSIAH!
TSH: Is The Sopranos one of Sarah’s all-time favourite shows? And what do the others like to watch?
Weeping Icon: Is it surprising that the Sarah who is the die-hard Sopranos fan is the Sarah from New Jersey? Just a tad bit shy of being obsessed with the show - have watched the whole series over a dozen times, cried when James Gandolfini died, hated the ending (mostly because it was ending)... Also, can’t tell if you are psychic or making very good guesses about us with these questions - or maybe you stalked our Facebooks??… I don’t knooooow… Other TV shows we also like are (collectively and separately, depending): Game of Thrones, The Handmaid’s Tale, SpongeBob, Rugrats, Rick & Morty, Sherlock, Ru Paul’s Drag Race, Twilight Zone, Curb Your Enthusiasm and John Oliver.
TSH: How do you like to stay positive amidst all the beldam in the world?
Weeping Icon: Band, art, shows, comedy, and maybe the only thing you don’t know already, weed. Hehe. (Sunglasses emoji).
TSH: What’s the Weeping Icon ethos as you venture ahead?
Weeping Icon: WE ARE 4 BLONDE BOYS TRYING TO HAVE A GOOD TIME. PLEASE NO UNSOLICITED DICK PICS, THX. HAVE A GOOD NIGHT. BYE.
Eyeball Under

Disneyland Paris
We were really tired doing this sightseeing and wanted to do something different. Having never been the Disneyland Florida before, we thought let’s try the one here in Paris. We knew this one is not as good as the one in Florida after doing a ton of research, but it was worth a shot and I was in a mood of some adrenaline rush.
The iconic disney castle
We decided to visit on a weekday where there is less rush. We bought the tickets for one day online for 36 euros/person which included both disney studio and disney park. This was a special offer which could not be bought at the gate. I took the screen shot of the ticket and it worked well. So, save paper and do not print your tickets if you have a smartphone. Please bring a photo ID with you. You will be asked at the gate.
How to get to Disneyland Paris fm Paris
Getting to disneyland from Paris is pretty easy. It takes about an hour to get there. We took RER A towards Gare de Marne la Vallee Chessy and Gare de Marne la Vallee Chessy was the last stop and that’s where you wanna get off too. When you take RER A, make sure you look for the stops at one of these boxes at your platform and there should be a yellow light next to Gare de Marne la Vallee Chessy. If there is not, that’s not the right train. The picture below will make more sense.
Yellow light next to de Marne la Vallee Chessy means board this train.
We wanted to cover all the exciting big thrill rides and were not really interested in the entertainment section. We picked up a free map and also a brochure of all the running programmes with their location and timetable. Some rides have fast passes which means you do not have to wait in the line for those rides. You would see a machine next to the waiting line and you would scan your ticket and get your fast pass. It tells you what time period you should come back to assess the ride without waiting much. For example, we started with Big thunder mountain in disneyland park. We got there by 10:30 AM and got the fast pass. We were supposed to come back between 12:30 to 1:30 PM.
These are the rides we got on at disneyland and I tell you they all are so good.
Disneyland Park
Big Thunder mountain - It is a big thrill ride, can be scary.
Indiana Jones - This is also one of the big thrill rides with a turn of 360 degrees.
Buzz Light year laser blast - You must have guessed it, this ride is all about laser. Kids would love it. It includes a pretty sweet competition with your partner.
Phantom Manor - A spooky ride for kids and for adults too.
Meet for Mickey mouse - Though we did see Mickey greeting others, both kids and adults, we did not meet him. If you are interested, you would find him at the park in fantasyland.
Walt Disney Studios Park
Tower of Terror - I do not want to talk much about it because this is one of those rides which creates so much mystery that you would really think if you should do it. Yes, I did have a similar thought. Based on the popular TV show, the Twilight Zone, it is a free fall ride and I tell you, it is gonna be scary but so much adventurous too. We did not get a fast pass for this one and regretted it a lot. We were in the line for an hour. So, do yourself a favor and get a fast pass.
Rock and Roller coaster - This was one hell of a roller coaster. 360 degrees loop, super fast, sudden twist and turn and and and dark..with some lightening at times. Its theme is you guessed it “Rock and Roll.” We did not have to get a fast pass for this as the line was super short. There was a birthday boy aged around 5-6 waiting in the line, but he backed off at the last minute. My husband got a little dizzy at the end and I loved it.
Crush Coaster - It is based on the movie, Finding Nemo, and it would not disappoint you. It is a fun ride and at times could be scary.
Peter Pan’s flight - If you are going with kids, you must stop here. The line was long but it was worth it. Sailing high into the moonlight sky sitting in the flight of Peter Pan, we came across many scenes from the movie Peter Pan.
Eating in Disneyland
I had read everywhere that the food is expensive and the quality is bad. Therefore, we ate nutella crepes from one of the stands on the main street near the castle.
Disney Magic on Parade
This was one of the best parades I have ever been to. This parade is held everyday at 5:00 PM on the main street, where all the famous disney characters show up dancing and singing and with music on, it is such a wonderful environment.
The stage is set for the parade..people waiting impatiently for their favorite disney characters.
Mickey and his friends in the parade
We left as soon as the parade got over and the way back to Paris was the same way. Took RER A towards Paris. Next day we woke up all refreshed and energized. If you are in Paris for some time and need a good break from all the sight seeings and want some adrenaline rush, disneyland paris should be your top choice, and if you have a kid, you know you gotta be here.
