Mr. Hunt's sweet true lies

#Twisted wonderland #Rook hunt #twst rook #This man quotes modern talking songs on the daily basis #don't tell me he wouldn't quote or sing “you're my heart you're my soul” he absolutely would #It's up to you to believe him or not #rookposting for once surpisingly enough #got inspired by the chorus of “sweet true lies” by beast in black (them again yea)#+ procrastinating other art idea by drawing something that wasn't initially planned as usual :)))))

Question for the author + Toby what would be his and your favorite songs??

He may dance funnily to Hit the Road Jack in his spare time. Kid Toby followed the trends better.

I like to think killing time fits him. I don't understand why most Toby playlists I came across consist of dying ukuleles with some sappy crying lyrics? He is chaotic and cheery, I would have put a few songs with an energetic guitar or something electro in there, nirvana, three days grace or whatever this is Shameless sharing of few fav songs I have a few energetic songs I associate with Tobs: phonk, modern emo songs, this remix, some good old and classic rock lmao I listen to Breathe Carolina a lot.

Some old narrow gauge Nia doodles I’ve done over the past month, Nia’s livery was inspired by 🌺mrterrier673🌺 on Twitter

Saw some edits of Nia with glasses and I fell in love we need more engines with accessories

Some pannier shaped siblings, they met pre-msr days (they didn’t come in the same time)but were very happy to reunite with one another in the msr then in the Skarloey Railway 😊☺️

Their sibling friendship/relationship is like alastor and Rosie or Mary and jack, Nia didn’t care about Stanley’s “jinx” and defended him whenever he got bullied, she’s one of the very few folks who can make Stanley genuinely happy and do things like singing much to his colleagues surprise (also livery inspiration for one another♥️❤️🧡💜💛🖤)

The strange sapphic phenomenon where All Roads Lead to Hozier (for me at least):

Daisira is one of my favorite ships from the Magnus Archives. I love them so much, they're my tragic morally dubious scary lesbians and I go berserk for their moments. And my favorite animatic that's just for them? A Hozier song.

Katie McGrath was my bi awakening as Morgana in Merlin and over the course of my forays into Tumblr I have been transforming into one of the feral fans who wants to watch everything she's in. So when I find out she's in a music video and go watch it? A Hozier song.

Annapantsu is the YouTube cover artist that made me realize why YouTube cover artists are a thing. Her cover of House of Asmodeus made me gay panic so hard I forgot what gay panic was called. Occasionally she'll release a cover that elicits a similar response and it'll live rent free in my brain for weeks. The most recent of these? A Hozier song.

I'm not a hardcore Hozier fan, but if this trend keeps up, it likely won't be long.

#hozier #daisira #the magnus archives #katie mcgrath #annapantsu #but like I'm still not over the one time that I was singing on the annapantsu discord server #and then anna joined the vc in the middle of my song #AND SHE LIKED MY VOICE #I present to you: sapphic ramblings of a disaster bisexual my brain short-circuits about all of this on a regular basis #the annapantsu cover of boyfriend by dove cameron literally came on right as I was writing her paragraph of this post wtf

Ive been stalking your page—and I will say you got so much amazing art but I’m surprised you’ve never had a Tokyo Ghoul phase 😭😭 (love you Zukka fan art 💕💕)

oh no i so had one hahahaha (i was in big deep) I was among the people that was like looking through the pages trying to find numbers!!! did i know the meaning? was my knowledge of tarot cards adequate egnouth to tell what it could mean and predict what the manga could be hinting??? no

but that manga had an iron grip on me. but... parallel to it i also red haikyuu... and well... yeha... (i did use to have a TG oc)

Thank you :D!

#chip!ask #the show had younger my crying on weekly basis.#heck the spoiler accounts and people so graciously translating tiny bits and everyone scrambeling to figure out what is happening!!!#the numbers!!!! the numbers hidden on pages that may or may not were hints...#-singing badly the opening song and suffers-#(honestly follows the patern of 'tragic protagonist with bowl cut and asymetric eyes )

Count Basie - I Can't Stop Loving You

#gets loud at about 0:20. heads up.#while I am far more used to Ray Charles' version of this song with singing #a BIG LOUD full instrumental version is very nice!#still nearly cried hearing it on the radio driving into work though. this song always does that to me. anyway.#music #Count Basie #Youtube

the thing is most of the time I don't even like jukebox musicals but & juliet is just so clever about it there's something really satisfying about that

#but also fuck them for making me listen to normal people music on a daily basis #how do i explain that when i listen to it's my life I'm not listening to like the real life song or whatever #I'm listening to romeo singing about how dope it is that he's back from the dead

If the ninth house had an anthem, and they they weren't stuck up bores, it would be spooky spooky squeletton.

#the locked tomb #the ninth house #honnestly if gideon had learned this song while there she would probably have been murdered on the basis that she would never stop singing

Are language bans legal in Germany?

Asked for clarification on whether foreign language protests were allowed in Germany, a Berlin police spokesperson told The Local that they "decide on restrictions for assemblies on a case-by-case basis".

The Irish protest took place within a protest camp which has been stationed in the sculpture park west of Heinrich-von-Gagern-Straße since April 8th. This particular camp is subject to the restriction that speeches can only be given in German and English and, at certain times, in Arabic, according to the Berlin Police.

The police spokesperson added: "In addition to this restriction, the assembly leader was informed on the occasion of the rally on April 19th that no exclamations or chants in Hebrew or Gaelic may take place. This decision is based on the Berlin Freedom of Assembly Act."

In this case, the Berlin Police say that their own risk forecast suggested that "the assembly could lead to speeches or chants glorifying violence with potentially criminal content", and therefore police officers on the scene needed the ability to hear what was being said so that they could enforce restrictions imposed on banned speech, like speech that incites violence, for example.

"For some languages, this is only possible with an interpreter. As there was no interpreter available for Hebrew and Gaelic in this case, it was only possible to act in advance with appropriate restrictions," the police said.

i just watched panther chan's performance of sahā w jeremy and my god i love her vocals. like jeremy isn't a bad singer or anything and obviously it's her song so ofc she's got an amazing grasp on it but. her power. her range. the contrast in their voices. she sounds so good aughhh

#i would say she is on a totally different level than jeremy here but im not familiar enough w him to say that this is representative of him #(but im also a known m*rror hater so <3)#they speak!#music #edit: i decided to listen to some jeremy solo stuff and have decided i hate it and yes it is 100% my basis against m*rror talking #whyyy do they have a song named sheesh why is it still somehow more bearable than the mess that was warrior #oh my god i just remembered i have a m*rror guy as the cover pic on my (dead) canto media sideblog...#yaoi cocaine rlly changes u for the worse. but i'm a better person now. im going to abolish him immediately.#anyways that was a sidetrack ummm jeremy's 九 is actually good. credit where it's due. and i liked 1 of the 5 live performances i watched.#he can dance i think idk shit abt dancing i just care abt singing and his singing does not do it for me.#everyone should stan panther chan instead. gonna listen the Honesty for the 600th time this month.
