Tysm @hereforthelizardsex !🦎 I think I got tagged in one of these once & I lost it so tysm for thinkin’ of me lol

3 ships: For ones I’ve written/am writing fic for;

1st: Succession— tomgreg (they are so broken <3)

2nd: Good Omens— ineffable husbands (they are broken in a different special awful way!)

(Shameless Ao3 plug)

3rd: Tie between Grace & Frankie— Grace x Frankie (do they have a ship name?,) Homura x Madoka (they’re kids tho so I don’t really ‘ship’ it, I just love their angst)

First ever ship:

Aside from having IRL friends on here now (lmao outed help,) this was a teeeeeny tiny ship, but I shipped the nerds from Drake and Josh (Craig and Eric) because they were clearly gay coded in the show and I liked the angst.

Only one other person wrote fic at the time; I thought she was so wise ‘cause I was 13 and she was 16 lol. AyanamiEraclea, wherever you are, I remember you…

(Cringe review help lmao)

Also book! Johnlock pre-BBC show; didn’t think it made sense in the show but I liked it book-canon (one of my fav fics of all time <3

Last song: Ventura Highway— America <3

Last movie: EVE OF DESTRUCTION which is simultaneously one of the worst and most bizarrely entertaining movies of all time (on tape, of course)

Currently reading: Absolutely nothing because I’m awful! Maybe I’ll read Brideshead Revisited again idk (oh and I ship Charles/Sebastian/Julia because I'm a bisexual mess lol)

Currently watching: Our Flag Means Death <3 (cannot wait to start shipping them hard af lol)

Currently consuming: Kratom! (it may be bad for me)

Currently craving: Just for everything to stop being so….. aaaaaaaa *Crowley screaming pic here*

9 people! (jk 12 b/c i couldn’t choose)

18 With A Bullet: Horse With No Name by America

Paul Fitzpatrick: London, April 2022 Selected 70s hits from across the pond If like me you thought ‘Horse With No Name’ must have been written under a star-kissed New Mexico sky by a young troubadour then you’d only be half right. It was actually written in a London bedsit and recorded at the home of Arthur Brown (yes, him of “Fire, I’ll take you to burn“) by Dewey Bunnell who was one third of…

[emperorsfoot]

America is that band where everyone knows their songs but doesn't know the band

[jwood718]

America, the band. 'cause why not?

How many times did I hear this on FM back in the 70s?

Lyrics

Chewing on a piece of grass, walking down the road Tell me, how long you're gonna stay here, Joe? Some people say this town don't look good in snow You don't care, I know

Ventura Highway, in the sunshine Where the days are longer The nights are stronger than moonshine You're gonna go, I know

'Cause the free wind is blowin' through your hair And the days surround your daylight there Seasons crying, no despair Alligator lizards in the air, in the air

Wishin' on a falling star, watching for the early train Sorry boy, but I've been hit by purple rain Aw, come on Joe, you can always change your name Thanks a lot, son, just the same

Ventura Highway, in the sunshine Where the days are longer The nights are stronger than moonshine You're gonna go, I know

'Cause the free wind is blowin' through your hair And the days surround your daylight there Seasons crying, no despair Alligator lizards in the air, in the air

Songwriters: Dewey Bunnell
