Summersong Request-athon!

Hi y’all and happy first day of summer! Inspired by @bettyfrommars Pick Your Poison blurbs and enabled by @powderblueblood who assured me that this wasn’t an insane idea, I’ve decided to open up requests inspired by the discography of one of my most beloved bands, The Decemberists.

18+ONLY

Aside from picking Steve or Eddie and a song title, you really won’t have much idea of what you’re getting because we’re are doing this based on pure vibes, baby!

You don’t need to be familiar with The Decemberists’ work, but if you are curious, I’ve linked their albums below. And if you are so inclined, check out the rules below!

1. Select Steve or Eddie

Yes, this does include AU options. Pretty much anything I’ve written is free game including the Back Burner list. If selecting an AU, please specify which one. For example: carpenter!Steve or EBY Eddie, etc.

2. Select a song title

Scroll through the albums listed below and follow the links if you’d like to listen, or you can choose a song at random based purely on its title - whatever strikes your fancy!

3. Submit your request in an ask using the following format: Character + Song Title.

4. Based on your choices, the resulting blurb will either be angst, fluff, or smut, with a slight possibility of monsterfucking if you select a specific AU (iykyk) but ultimately up to my discretion. So please keep that in mind if you decide to play along!

Anon requests will not be eligible for the smut option.

The window for requests will be open from today, June 20 to the official end of summer on September 22.

If you have additional questions, don’t hesitate to drop me a line! 💜

The Shankill Butchers ride tonight

You better shut your windows tight

They're sharpening their cleavers and their knives

And taking all their whiskey by the pint

[alwaysneedyforsir]

they’re waiting until the dead of night

they’re picking at their fingers with their knives

and wiping off their cleavers on their thighs

[pink-doflamingo]

They used to be just like me and you They used to be sweet little boys But something went horribly askew Now killing is their only source of joy

'Cause everybody knows If you don't mind your mother's words A wicked wind will blow Your ribbons from your curls Everybody moan, everybody shake The Shankill butchers wanna catch you awake

The Shankill butchers on the rise They're waiting until the dead of nights They're picking at their fingers with their knives And wiping off their cleavers on their thighs

You ever listen to a song and become so frustrated because it’s just so good and you can perfectly visualize a map / pmv throughout the whole thing but you can’t animate so it has to stay in your head?

Anyways Shankill Butchers by The Decemberists but it’s Rainstar having a nightmare about Alderstar and Myrtlewing

Every book about 1798 was either written by someone who died in 1840 and the book is mass produced and available for the price of a handful of coins and a sandwich on Amazon OR it was published in 2018 and yet is only for sale for more than a house costs on the neocities page of one farmer in Wexford who you have to beat in single combat to get him to give it to you OR it's cheap and readily available and very recent but it was written by a british noble and was edited by one of the shankill butchers and is called 'Why Colonialism Is Good'
