Don't be shy drop the Old Crow song 👁️👁️🫴🏽 /nf /silly
HnnnnGH.
Okay. Before clicking this link I will say, I don't always love my dad's music, the crow was definitely a gift divorced from my personal feelings about his music. I had to listen to him playing constantly when I lived at home and it created an antipathy for me, but that said, maybe you guys will like it?
Here's his reverbnation, I don't see the Old Crow song, but you can get the vibes. If you like his sound and really want to hear about an old time traveling crow I'll poke him to upload it.

ᕼᑌᔕK ᗩᑎᗪ ᑎIᖴᖴTY ᖇEᗪEᔕIGᑎ
Tumblr media
Deadbeat father with his baby-leashed daughter.
I believe these are the last of the designs that will try to follow the original design as best as it can because looking at my sketches right now, Alastor, Cherri Bomb, and Pentious (and Crymini) goes a different direction than their counterparts.
You know how this works, thoughts below:
My issues with their Original designs:
Niffty:
Man, I only have two things to critique about this one since she's also a solid design:
What is the purpose of the scarf? It comes out of nowhere for the design, what is the connection/purpose of having it? Genuinely asking since it does bother me a bit.
She barely is a bug, there is no feature in the design that gives us any idea that she might be a bug (Or even an alien since apparently Cyclops are just a normal sinner type in this hell). Looking at the Wiki, I think the only reason for the alien aspect is that it came from a song? Either way, she doesn't showcase any of either in her design.
Husk:
GOD THE WINGS. DEAR GOD THE WINGS. IT'S SO UGLY AND CLUTTERED AND THE PATTERNS BARELY MAKE ANY SENSE. It's so awful ewwww. Every scene that didn't have them closed looked extremely rushed and ugly. It could've benefitted from just copying how actual feathered wing patterns naturally are.
His eyebrows are not a problem for me (It's my favourite part of him) but the unnecessary two black stripes are.
He's probably supposed to be a tuxedo cat, but he legitamately looks like the cat in the hat with his entire face being white.
The thought process for these two:
Niffty:
Personally was not into the whole Cyclops thing, especially when there are no hellborns (that I can recall at least) in Helluva Boss that posess a singular eye. She's got 2 eyes now because.... reasons.
The mismatched eyes was my solution to removing the Cyclops sinners of this world. Plus it's a neat little character detail that her insecurity of some kind of eye defect manifests as this odd eye shape.
Her hair is a bit neater because as much as I enjoyed how her original hair looks, It's kind of silly to think a person who's obsessed with cleanliness would have such an unkempt haircut? (Specifically talking about that scene kid-esque bangs she has.)
While I kept the maid aspect with her clothes, I made it a lot more flowery so that it reads more like a child's outfit mimicing a maid's.
I gave her one fucked up antennae since in the rewrite ill be doing, she's very easily lost and thus became homeless, drifting to any place that would allow her to stay for a little while long until they kick her out.
Bug wings and the spurs on her arms and legs are just to sell the bug aspect a bit more.
Hopefully, it was clear enough. But her arms are made of two arms conjoined together to create a singular arm.
Admittedly, I did not choose a specific bug for Niffty. Insects are not something I'm interested in and I got lazy with this aspect.
Husk:
MADE HIM A LOT FATTER AHAHAHAHHA. Husk feels like he could've ended up as a bara if Vivzie's twinkif-y ray didn't hit him.
Specific fluff areas as well as a red mustache make him look older and do more to make you understand he's much more aged than the rest of the cast.
Genuinely enjoyed the hair that they gave Husk in his flashback, it looked handsome on him. Why Vivzie didn't put that in his actual redesign is beyond me, but here it is on him now
Since his wings barely play any role in the story, I shrunk it and de-cluttered the poor thing.
The red suspenders are there to simply put a pop of color on his already muted colors.
Despite the running joke that Vivzie's characters all have a bowtie, kept it on Husk since I think it would be cute that he probably keeps it on because Niffty made it herself for him.
This is just personal, but I wanted to give him an actual cat's pattern because I saw Husk from the headcanon voices video and thought that he was a sloth for some reason.

Hatchetverse Crack Theory: In TGWDLM, the homeless man is singing to Paul about another apocalypse he lived through.
I'm sorry to my mutuals for not being up to date on my usual Wolf359 and TMBS content (more is coming I promise), but I recently fell back into Starkid after they released their new musicals, so of course the brain bees™️ gave me some more theories to share with the world (more might be coming, so I apologize in advance).
More details below (spoilers for TGWDLM and Nightmare Time, also I’m just gonna start tagging these “#hatchetverse theory”):
In TGWDLM, Ted as the homeless man sings to Paul during the song "La De Dah Dah Day". The exact verse he sings is: "🎶 I used to want to kill them all while high on bath salt zombie drugs, snacking on a dead man's face 🎶", before leaning into Paul's face.
His verse was played for laughs, and ngl, when I first watched the musical, I was put off by this portrayal of the homeless. However, now that we know from Nightmare Time that the Homeless Man is actually Ted from the future or possibly a version that lives in Tinky's toybox, that does imply that his line might have an alternate meaning.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
At first, it seems like the homeless man we see in TGWDLM can't be the Ted from TGWDLM, because that Ted dies during the show and become part of the hive mind (therefore, how can his future self exist as the homeless man in TGWDLM?).
Well, in Nightmare Time, Ted travels back to try to fix the things that have gone wrong in his timeline (he attempts to make things right with Jenny and warn Paul about Emma). He does ultimately fail, but he still tries. Therefore, a version of Ted that lived through an apocalypse would likely attempt go back in time to stop it from happening. The apocalypse in question seems to have involved drugs that turned people into flesh hungry zombie monsters, eventually leading to Ted eating the face of Paul, before snapping out of it and trying to go back in time to stop the apocalypse (which based on how it happens, would likely be caused by Nibbly).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Thus, in TGWDLM, future Ted as the homeless man succeeds in stopping the apocalypse Nibbly was going to cause (an apocalypse where he survives but becomes a zombie for a bit). However, in doing so, he causes or inadvertently allows for Pokey's apocalypse, one where Ted dies and becomes part of the hive mind, erasing the homeless man (future Ted) from existence. Pokey has Ted as the homeless man sing to Paul about an apocalypse where Paul fails to survive as a clever "inside joke" to mock Paul.
I hope you enjoy my unhinged theory Starkid fandom.

Tumblr media
Pairing: Chris Sturniolo X Female Reader
Synopsis: Y/N and Chris hate each other with a burning passion, but when Y/N gets into an issue at a party, Chris is on his way to help.🫀
Warnings⚠️: Being dr*gged, mentions of almost being r worded, the r word is used one time. And yes that’s it’s. This for the request asking for an enemies to lovers where Chris saves her from almost being assaulted🗣️
Song for the imagine: Call Out My Name-The Weeknd
⚠️This story has mentions of hard topics. Read at your own risk⚠️
I hate Chris with a burning passion, and he hated me too. Originally I was friends with Nick, and then Matt, but for some reason Chris just didn’t like me. It started with scoffs, eye rolls, stank faces, blatantly ignoring me, and then slowly the comments started
He was such an asshole when he wanted to be. It made it so hard to be around him because I wanted to punch him in the face, yet he was so good looking that I wanted to kiss him also??? Man I don’t know he just made my life hard. He hated when Nick or Matt would invite me over he’d either completely ignore me, or we’d start bickering.
“What’s this fuck face doing here” he’d say
“Are you fucking 5” I said rolling my eyes at him
“Is that the only comeback you have?” He asked
“Well maybe if you didn’t act like a man child I’d have something else to say” I told him smiling at him
“You piss me off. Everytime I see your face I want to throw up” he said pretending to gag
“Exactly my point…a fucking child. Now go away the adults are talking” I said shooing him
And Nick and Matt’s mouth dropped
“Yeah yeah yeah whatever” he said walking away
That’s about how 90% of our interactions went. But as time went on I looked forward to our fights, and I’m sure he did too.
Tonight Nick had asked me if I wanted to join him and his brothers at a party, and of course I said yes, so I got ready and headed over to their house
Once I got there I allowed myself in, and locked the door behind me. I walked upstairs and went into the kitchen putting my stuff down, when Chris came upstairs from his room
“AHHH WHAT DID YOU DO WITH Y/N, and why is there a clown standing in my kitchen” he said pretending to be scared
“Christopher shut the fuck up” I told him as I put my phone down
“Ouuu government name….me likey” he said smirking at me
“You’re such a fucking creep” I said grabbing a water bottle
“What’s with uhh all the paint on the face this isn’t a circus” he said motioning to his face
“It’s called makeup….I wanted to look good for the party” I said rolling my eyes at him
“Right right….yeah you were looking very homeless recently” he said taking a Pepsi
“Let’s not get into who looks homeless now” I said scoffing
“I still get more bitches than you” he said shrugging his shoulders
I threw my now empty water bottle at him
“You’re a fucking weirdo loser” I told him as he laughed
“Heyyy Y/N when did you get here” Nick said coming down the stairs with Matt
“About five minutes ago, you idiot brother here wouldn’t stop yapping in my ear” I told them
“Hey! If you’re gonna talk outta your ass at least turn around so I can hear you better” He told me
“Yeah I’m sure you’d love to look at my ass” I told him sarcastically
“I meannnn are you offering?” He asked with his eyebrows raised
“You are literally a walking ick stay the fuck away from me” I said walking past him to head out the door
Matt had driven us to the party, Chris and I were in the back seat, and as he would rap every song he would point in my face and touch me. I would always smack his hand away or punch him to get him to stop, but he just didn’t
We had arrived at the party, and all slowly got separated. I was in the kitchen making a drink when a guy approached me
“Hey pretty lady” he said also making himself a drink
“Hi” I said giving him a tight lip smile
“Here alone?” He asked me pouring himself a henny coke
“Uh no I’m here with my friends” I told him making myself a Malibu Coke
“Oh nice nice, uhh boyfriend?” He asked me, and I was cringing at his lack of being able to form a sentence. At least when I argued with Chris it was for the most part full sentences
“If you’re asking if I have a boyfriend the answer is no” I told him while taking a sip of my drink.
The whole time we were chatting Chris had been watching me from the corner of the room.
Chris didn’t like the way the guy was staring at Y/N. It was like he was a predator and she was fresh meat, but Y/N was too sweet, and couldn’t see that. He kept glancing at her cup and that made Chris uncomfortable. But he wasn’t doing anything to be out right weird. But when he saw him with her he just wanted to scoop her up and take her away.
He wasn’t really sure why he felt this way. He actually wasn’t really sure how he felt about Y/N. He thought he hated her, but when he’d see her, his heart would skip a beat, and when they’d argue he’d fall more in love with her. But he hates her? He thinks?
Truly Chris was afraid of commitment. He was scared of the idea of someone loving him. It just wasn’t his things one night stands and small flings were his go to. But when he met Y/N it all started to change. He wanted to be with her forever. He even saw a future with her, and he stopped fooling around with other girls. But he was just so afraid of being hurt and committing to someone, that he chose to “hate” her instead. So that at least he’d know he’d always have her in his life.
“Hey it’s kind of hard to hear you” the boy said to me
“Yeah it kind of is, want to step outside?” I asked him
“Uhh maybe we could go upstairs” he said
“Mmmm i don’t know, i don’t really know you” I told him
“Oh come on! We can leave the door open I just want to talk” he said
“Mmm okay fine” I said, and we started to walk towards the stairs
Unbeknown to Y/N Chris was also following them like a shadow in the dark watching their every move. When they got to the stairs a guy had stopped them, and asked Y/N a question. Her drink was in her left hand, and she turned to her right. As soon as she did, the random guy dropped something into her drink. This made Chris’ heart drop, and he went to spring into action. After she answered the guy's question they went to walk up the steps, and the guy nodded his head at the other guy. Oh shit he was in on it Chris realized.
Chris was pushing through bodies calling out Y/N’s name, but she couldn’t hear him over the loud music and the tons of people in the way.
Chris was struggling with girls grabbing onto him trying to talk, and him trying to fight his way through the crowd. Sheer panic racing through his blood.
I had gotten upstairs, and there were tons of room, so we decided on the room all the way to the end. When we stepped in he left the door open.
I sat on the random bed and he sat across from me. I continued to drink my drink as it was almost done. When I Started to feel a little fuzzy. Man, how much Malibu did I put in this? I thought to myself
The guy was trying to talk to me, but I truly wasn’t feeling okay. I thought I was going to pass out or die?
“Hey I’m not feeling too well” I told the guy putting my cup down and going to stand up, but he stood up and sat me back down
“Don’t worry maybe the alcohol was too strong” he said
“No…no, something's not right,” I said slowly. He walked over to door and shut it locking it
“Hey what are you doing” I said fighting to keep my eyes open
“Shhh baby” he said and started to kiss on me
“Please no no stop this” I said starting to panic
“Be quiet baby” he told me pushing me backwards and starting to lift up my dress
“Please don’t. Please stop I won’t say anything just don’t please” I said crying
Chris had finally gotten up the stairs and started bursting through every door, while texting Nick and Matt what was happening, and telling them to come upstairs
Finally he had gotten to the last door, and it was locked, but he could hear her crying and pleading for someone to stop.
Chris started to bang against the door, slamming his body into it, and finally he kicked the door in and ran in. The sight he saw made his blood run cold
This disgusting pig with Y/N’s underwear half way down her legs, and her dress hiked up. While she just lay there pleading for him to stop in a very drugged way
“What the fuck are you doing” Chris screamed running over to the guy and punching him straight in the jaw. This caused the guy to get up and start fighting with Chris
Nick and Matt had run into the room seeing what Chris just saw. Matt ran over to Chris to try and help him, and Nick ran to Y/N to help her
“Shh it’s okay” Nick said helping Y/N back into her underwear and pulling her dress down
“Chris” she said weakly
“It’s Nick, but Chris stopped him okay. You don’t have to worry you’re safe” Nick said pulling the girl up and into his arms
At this point Matt and Chris had beat the guy to a pulp, and he just laid there bloody
“Don’t you ever put your hands on a fucking woman again you disgusting pig” Chris yelled at him while standing over him in a fit of rage
“Come guys, we have to go, the cops will be here” Nick said. Chris came over and took Y/N from his arms as they ran down the stairs and out the house, walking to Matt’s car.
“Am I dying” I asked them slurred
“No you’ve been roofied” Chris said to me holding me up
“He was touching me….he was going to rape me” I said sobbing and barely being able to stand up
“You’re safe now. We got you you’re okay” Matt said
“I’m dying” I said to them
“No you’re not baby, you have to throw this up” Chris said to me
“I don’t want to throw up” I said crying
“You have to come on” he said, he then stuck two fingers down my throat which made me gag and throw up everywhere
“I wanna go home” I said still crying and fighting for my life
“We’re going, we’re going” Nick said as they helped me into the car, and the whole car ride I cried into Chris’ arms.
When we got home I started to feel some of the effects wearing off, but I wasn’t 100% there.
Chris took me to his room so that he could watch me
“I need to get this man’s smell off of me, help me shower I can’t stand by myself” I said barely making sense
“Are you sure?” I asked her not wanting to make her uncomfortable
“Yes Chris please. I need you right now. You make me feel safe and warm. I love you” I told him
“I love you too” I told him
I went to the bathroom, and had Chris run a warm bubble bath for me. He helped me out of my clothes while also not really looking at me, and then he helped me into the tub.
I let my body fall into the bubbles immediately feeling relieved.
I just sat there staring blankly at the tub while Chris watched my face for any signs of discomfort
“Thank you for saving me” I told him, finally looking over at him.
“I will always be there for you, and I know you might not remember this tomorrow, but I love you. I was so scared of love before, but when I got to know you. It made me want to love, and love all of you. I have never been so sure about someone in my life as I am of you” he told me washing my back with a rag and letting the warm water fall down my head
“Chris I like you so much….I want to be with you forever” I told him smiling at him
“You don’t know what you’re saying” he said
“I do. I want you Chris all of you. I love to argue with you because it’s something that WE do. That is our thing, and it will alway be our thing” I said leaning me head on my arm
“I love to argue with you too. Makes me warm inside” he said washing my arm for me
“Join me” I said
“I can’t. Not under these circumstances” he told me breaking eye contact
“Please Chris. I want to be next to you. I need your embrace” I told him. Finally he agreed
He took his shirt off and then his pants, and I covered my eyes when he took off his underwear, and waited for him to get in the water opposite of me.
Once I felt the water move I opened my eyes
“Thank you Chris” I said looking at him
“Anything for you pretty girl” he told me
“Come here let me clean your makeup off” he said and pulled me in a little closer
Taking the rag, and wiping my makeup off my face
“You’re so beautiful” he told me as he cleaned my face
“You’re beautiful Chris” i told him which made him blush
“Kiss me” I told him him
“I can’t. Not tonight you’re not fully sober” he said back to me in a whisper
“Tomorrow morning” I told him
“If you remember this” he said back to me
“I will…I promise” I said
We finished bathing, and Chris got us dried and dressed in pajamas. He had snuggled me into his chest as I fell asleep, but Chris didn’t finally fall asleep till 5AM. He spent most of the night watching you and making sure you were okay.
You had woken up at 9AM, and Chris was still deep in slumber, so you decided to leave him and head upstairs to brush your teeth and wash your face.
Everyone was still asleep, so you decided to make some coffee and drink it while you sat outside by their pool.
You had texted Chris something for when he woke up.
30 minutes later Chris woke up. To you not by his side and for a second he panicked but then figured you were awake upstairs. He grabbed his phone and saw a message from you
The annoying one🙄
-kiss me?
It read, and he blushed slightly.
The End
Okayyy so I hope you enjoyed this one as well. It was pretty long, and for whoever requested this I really hope you enjoyed❤️❤️ I have about 6 more imagines to write 🤭🤭

Hello Shaz
I would love to hear your opinion on 3D and all the talk around it
My thoughts on the talk around it is; "wow, well this is a load of garbage" (no offence to any friends I may have who don't like the song I just disagree that its a terrible song)
Alright. 3D. Let's talk. My thoughts. First, what's with the fucking homeless trousers??
Tumblr media
I hate rich people 😭😭😭😭 if I wear this people will wonder why I didn't go back home to change after I fell in mud 😪
Anyhu, before i even say a thing. We should probably all try to remember that JK said this
(Thanks @chicknbunny13)
Yeah sure, even if he doesn't write a song, he may resonate with it. But not everything he does is a reflection of his actual life. This one, is for the Jikook antis btw. This is why my anons are still off. People, I dont have the energy for antis rn. JK sang 'girl' so what? This topic is super old and tired and consider it officially retired from this blog. I'm sooooo over it 🥱🥱🥱🥱
Now that we have that out of the way let's tackle the fact that our JK is a grown, grown adult. I don't need to bring back the live where he told people he's an adult and he is almost 30 and he will do what he wants to do. And if he wants to sing about this, that's exactly what he will sing about.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Oh my,
Tumblr media
Even Jimin knows all about it
Tumblr media
Tweet
BAHAHAAHAHAHA!!!
Let is be known i am choosing to take that sentence literally. I think JK just means him, the girl, with champagne and confetti. I really don't think it means anything else here. But, seeing as this is another sex song, I won't put it past him.
Anyone else notice a recurring theme here?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Okay then. 😳
Also shout out to this random kid with the horse
Tumblr media
I can't be the only one who has no clue what his point was 😂😂😂
While we are on the champagne topic,
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I mean....
Tumblr media
Make no mistake, SEVEN and 3D are singing about the same thing. If SEVEN was in your face, 3D is subtle. But they are both just talking about sex here. Which is why it doesn't make sense to me why people are so upset??? As a person who likes Harlow and has heard his songs before, this did not shock me one bit. There is nothing wrong with this song. It is meaningless and shallow but guess what, thats the type of music the GP is listening to rn. I understand why Asians have an issue with this line
Tumblr media
And I can respect that. I don't have to understand it, but if Asians say its offensive, then its offensive. In which case I think that's just ignorance on Harlow's part. The people behind the song and JK himself are not going to okay something degrading. So it is of my opinion that people are reading too much, way too much into something that aint even meant to be deep.
It's a song, about sex. The only thing deep about it, is the holes that will be getting penetrated.
Tumblr media
This song doesn't require to be analysed. Okay, maybe when trying to decipher the analogies being used but that's it. JK has one agenda and one agenda only; release music that the general public will devour, get his name out there and be a huge pop star. And it is working.
Tumblr media
Cue Boracity's new video about each member and who their target audience are for each solo project
youtube
JK did not write these songs. If he did I'm sure they would have more meaning. But that's not what he's aiming for rn. Right now the man just wants to put out something that he knows will sell. Wants to put out something that will be a hit. And 3D is exactly that. Just like SEVEN. Mans was asked for the meaning of the song and by his answer, I'm not sure even he knows.
Tumblr media
What??
Tumblr media
Did anyone understand that???? If you did, break it down for me coz I did NOT understand that 😂😂
This song has no meaning. Its shallow, catchy, easy to remember and move to. Enough with trying to complicate shit! It ain't that deep. Period.
JK cared more about the choreo.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
While Jack is calling himself a whore for wanting 4 women, JK is busy dancing throughout. So I will listen to JK and enjoy the song and choreo. Because there is nothing in the lyrics and there was never intended to be.
Idk why y'all mad when we stan a consent king:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Personally I dont have time to be angry because 1) i see no reason to be, and 2) i am too busy admiring JK's body proportions 🤤🤤
Tumblr media
Damn, Jimin's man is hot!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Math San, I Gotta Ask For More Of That Primarch planet Swap AU, The Amount Of Imaginations That Is Going Through My Head Is Insane, But Headcanons are enough of you do not want to update, As I Am also Genuinely Interested In The Headcanons as well.
Hello hello!!! I am *slowly* going back into updating my blog again, so!
Primarch planetswap au: HC edition!
Lorgar (From Terra): actually quite close to his father and Malcador. Has the habit of walking into Malcador rooms and face planting on the old man bed to complain, after a hard day of not strangling the high lords.
Angron: On Inwit, he had the disastrous habit of running toward all the giant carnivorous monster. Due to his empath power, he ended with a monstrosity called "Land-Orca" that he treat like a dog as a pet.
Fulgrim of Nuceria: Sign language was actually the primary one in the slave pits, to communicate away from the guards. The system that Fulgrim and his sons use together is different from any other, and quite secretive. He actually started teaching it to Ferrus.
Alpharius Omegon on Chtonia: They were actually homeless, until emp showed up! They never wanted their full identity as two knows to other, as it could have compromise their secret statut of vigilante, fighting back the local gangs.
Magnus of Medusa: Think rocks are tasty, okay? He never quite got over his habit of eating sand, but now it's mostly crystal. Has an actual chart ranking the tastiest ones, and fucking LOVE how tasty fossil are.
Leman of Delivrance: Has yet to fully understand that has wolf dna, and as such fight a lot of his instinct. Insist on touching everyone he consider family, and check on the regular where everyone is, and if they are ok. Always eat last too.
Konrad on Maccrage: when he was a child and having really bad convulsion, his mother gave him a pet ferret (wich used to be common pets for Romans) as some kind of alert animal. Konrad doesn't deal well with food often, so his beloved lil friend (called Regulus) became the fattest, happiest noodle.
Ferrus of Caliban: He actually has a romantic side! He grew up hearing songs of knights and princess, and then ended up becoming a knight himself! And while incredibly chivalrous, the realm of the arts (outside a forge) stay incredibly foreign to him. He does love nowaday harlequin romance novels.
Horus on Nostramo: In spite of having created a rather criminal society, he made extreme effort to make it a true meritocracy. Any street urchin can become a mob enforcer under him... If they navigate properly the treacherous world of the mafia.
Sanguinius of Fenris: He actually is a supremely picky eater, and does not trust 95% of vegetables. He only ate meat until he was found by the Imperium, he's not a goat, why do they keep waving kale at him?!
Lion on Colchis: Fully, 100% aware that the chaos gods are real, and actively pray to them. He has his "religion of the Emperor" that he actually use as a facade, since it annoy Emp so much, he doesn't look into his "true" belief.
Perturabo on Chemos: has actually developed full AI again, but hide it HARD from Emp and the Mechanicus. He like his robots!! He think that they should have rights! Why can't the Imperium be less stupid about this... Vaguely in love with Rogal and his Cool Armours.
Jaghatai on Baal: Became quite the warlord, locally. Was especially curious of the use of radiation, and definitely made some horrible WMD back in the day. Currently falling in line with the Mechanicus, as every vehicules present on Baal was almost holly in their culture.
Rogal of Nocturne: Created some really, REALLY advanced fortification that can, somehow, follow the landscape change. Is pioneering the use of dragon scales mixed with special metals, creating something that might be stronger than ceramite. Does not understand why Perturabo is always hanging around.
Roboute on Barbarus: decided to fight necromancy with fire... Artillery fire, to be exact. He brought the industrial revolution to Barbarus, and has pretty intense plan for terraforming the planet. Hasn't stopped working in.... Approximately 50 years.
Mortarion of Prospero: Like in many of my hc, Morty is intersex. He's lucky to have landed on Prospero, where androgyny is a sign of beauty. He actually like cultivating that appearance, and if asked what his gender is, he usually just reply "mushroom".
Corvus of Chogoris: if it's me, then you bet Corvus is a transwoman lol. She wear traditional mongolian ceremonial outfit as a power move, because *no one* expect her to be able to move this easily in all those heavy clothes.
Vulkan of Olympia: VERY close to all 3 of his siblings! He was never a fighter there, and instead worked hard to promote a democratie and division of power. He still is in contact with all of them, especially Calliphone. She keep teasing him about his possible crush on a certain Oracle...

Control, Mew, and Top
So I got the idea of control from @dewtu post here and the idea of mew's mugshot from @sunshinechay post here Thanks @rocketturtle4 for the posts and the talk (along with Midsomer from the discord)
Music playlist here
I think Mew likes to be in control. Of himself, of his emotions, of the situation. Top is a schemer, doing everything to give Mew a storybook romance.
Mew
Tumblr media
I love how Boston isn't even in the light, he's uninterested, aloof. The next scene he wonders away from the group as soon as Ray suggests they help him with actually running the hostel for the project. Support my ass.
Mew is shadowed here, even though we see parts of him, like his mouth... We know what he says about himself, but I'm not thinking we get the whole picture from him yet. Also, I think he uses the glasses as a way to shield himself from the world.
"I read books a lot, that's why I'm wearing specs." Which could be he's ruined his eyes from reading, but also we know he reads books to feel things he's never felt before, go places he's never been, and this:
Tumblr media
He is using reading to buffer himself from feeling the real thing. We know he is afraid of himself. "You know what I'm afraid of? I'm sensitive, If I have sex with you, I'm going to be so into you." He goes on describing how he'll be addicted and it'll turn out bad. He knows Top only wants a one night stand.
Tumblr media
So the glasses can be a sort of symbol of that separation of him, his emotions, and the world.
Back to the quiz night at the bar:
Tumblr media
Side note the song saying "It's one thing what you promised, but it's another to deliver, You don't want it now that you got it, to hell with it" nice. None of Top and Mew's songs are romantic.
Mew refuses to drink, giving what he wins to his friends. He wants control of his emotions and what is happening, which we see through out the night, Top thinks he is scheming his way into Mews room but realizes quickly that Mew knows what's going on. And Mew stops as soon as he feels like this situation and his emotions are getting out of control. So, he chooses Ice Cream. Top asks for a cuddle, and he allows it, but is still in control.
Mew's freak out goes along with the song that is playing "Check for pulse" Specifically, "You will hurt the ones you love, and they will hurt you right back. Sing along, Sing along, our love is a heart attack, You better check for pulse" Mew is afraid of this exact thing happening. Again, "I don't want to cry alone in my room"
Another thing about Mew being in control, he thinks he knows how to read people, we get him saying it twice.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Makes me think he's got Top's number. He knows what Top is doing.
Top
This whole time Top thinks he's in control, the bathroom scene with Boston and Top
Tumblr media Tumblr media
"I also want to date him, he's interesting" Man never doubts for a second that he's got Mew under control.
Also song playing is Hate Me here it's just saying "hate me" over and over so... yeah. Doesn't feel good.
Tumblr media
Cue Spying game with the lyrics "We're both lost, out of date, bitter stargazers, Pretty much similar, Homeless heartbreakers. I don't wanna hear your thoughts, You don't wanna feel my skin, You just wanna dream of sin, Sickness floating in our veins, Players in a spying game"
Tumblr media
"I'm going to be there to comfort my friend" is met with a rolled eyes. The amount of contempt Top has for Boston. Man thinks he's got the situation down.
Tumblr media
Enough that when he grabs the mic, he just assumes no one will stop him. Doesn't care about Sand, or anyone else. He's in control.
Tumblr media
So we've got Mew who thinks he knows how to read people vs Top who wants get what he wants.
Tumblr media
This smile at the end though. is it Mew falling for Top or is it Top falling into Mew's control. Who's world is ending.

Here is the second chapter of the newest installment in the Hawkins Halfway House series, which I've named Tradition on ao3. (I haven't posted this chapter on ao3 but it'll be up before end of day today, I promise) It's still gonna have the Hawkins Halfway House for Homeless Horrors tag here just to keep the tracking easier for you guys.
ETA: this has now been posted on ao3!
--
It was hard to meet people as a queer man in rural Indiana. Harder still when the ‘man’ part of that description was…malleable. As if that wasn’t enough of a challenge, it was far more difficult when the queer man in question wasn’t particularly interested in sex.
Sirens used what people would consider ‘sex appeal’ to attract humans but that was only because sailors, having spent months at sea surrounded by the same faces, tended to desire newer, prettier faces that could be convinced to warm their beds. A siren’s song created an illusion of something a human could not resist. Sirens themselves, as far as Eddie had learned, had no real sex drive and not only couldn't copulate with humans, but also didn’t procreate in a way humans would recognize.
Eddie, however, was a freak of magical happenstance so he really couldn’t tell if his own minimal sex drive was due to his siren heritage or if it was a trait uniquely Eddie. He didn’t mind kissing and petting his partners. He actually quite enjoyed it, but things got awkward when his chosen partner would start fumbling at the fastenings of his pants. He’d have to redirect their hands and attention elsewhere before they encountered something unusual.
In the end it didn’t really matter how Eddie came about his lack of sexual appetite. It always resulted with a lonely Eddie after his partners finally had enough of his reluctance and left him. So when a charming man with gorgeous eyes and kissable lips seemed perfectly happy with Eddie’s boundaries, Eddie was over the moon.
He had been such an idiot.
“I could do other things,” Eddie told the man shyly the first time they met, after taking the man’s hands from where they’d wandered to the fly of his pants and placing them back on his waist.
“I’m sure you could, baby,” the man said in a way that made Eddie shiver pleasantly. “But we don’t have to do anything at all if you’re not feeling it right now.”
Eddie scoffed.
“This is the whole reason people come to these clubs,” Eddie said with a roll of his eyes. He was lonely. He wanted company and some physical closeness. “Besides, I’m very good with my mouth.”
“With lips like those, I believe you, but I’d love to get to know someone as beautiful as you in other ways, too.”
“Yeah?” Eddie asked, surprised and stupidly susceptible to flattery.
“Mmhm. I’m Billy. Why don’t I give you my number and we can get together for coffee tomorrow instead?” Billy smiled, all gleaming white teeth and fluttery lashes.
How could Eddie say no to that?
So, because Eddie was lonely and dumb, he said yes. They went for coffee, during which Eddie was the center of Billy’s undivided attention. When Billy asked him out to dinner, Eddie said yes. Their pretty waitress spent the whole time flirting with Billy, but all of Billy’s sweet words were given to Eddie. When Billy invited Eddie to his place for a movie night, Eddie said yes.
Halfway through the movie, when Eddie was in Billy’s lap, kissed breathless and squirming, Eddie decided he would say yes when Billy’s hands wandered. Instead, Eddie’s muscles locked when Billy tried for the button of Eddie’s jeans. Billy pulled back to look at him and Eddie squeezed his eyes shut.
“No, it’s fine,” Eddie said.
He could weave a subtle little song so Billy wouldn’t see anything out of the ordinary. Sure, he hadn’t sung since he was a teenager, but it must be instinctual to him as a siren, right? He could make it work.
He could make sure Billy enjoyed himself. Then Billy would continue to hold him and shower him with honeyed words. They could keep having dinner dates and movie nights and things would be fine. Good. Maybe even better.
“Go ahead,” Eddie insisted.
“Baby, do you want to?” Billy asked, voice soft and coaxing. Eddie wanted to say yes. He’d done sexual stuff before and enjoyed it well enough. He could figure this out, too, and enjoy it. Probably. If he had to.
“It’ll be fun,” Eddie said. For you, it’ll be fun for you was better left unsaid. Billy didn’t move. Eddie tried to dip into another kiss to break the sudden awkward atmosphere. Billy’s hands cupped his face, halting him midway.
“Eddie, look at me,” Billy said.
Hesitantly, Eddie did as he was told. He liked to believe that Billy’s beautiful blue eyes reflected the color of the ocean Billy grew up alongside. Not that Eddie would know; he’d never been near any oceans. Eddie loved having Billy’s ocean eyes on him, normally. Now he was afraid to see them dim in disappointment.
“We don’t have to do anything you don’t want to do,” Billy said. He sounded so sincere, Eddie cringed. Billy said that now, but would he say it again in three days? In two weeks? Months later? Better to break his own heart now, Eddie thought.
“What if I never want to?” Eddie asked through a lump in his throat.
“Then we never will and I get to keep you as my boyfriend,” Billy said with his charming smile.
“Boyfriend?” Eddie asked, stunned. Billy’s smile grew wider.
“Yeah. That alright with you?”
And foolish, needy Eddie laughed out a yes and pulled beautiful Billy into a kiss.
After that, Eddie began slipping vague details about himself into their conversations where before he had been reticent. He told Billy how he worked at a community center that helped the disenfranchised.
“Where’s the community center? Would I know it?”
“Nah, it’s a tiny nonprofit out of town.”
Eddie told him about his annual fishing trips with his uncle.
“I used to go fishing with my dad. Where did you go for it? Maybe we’ve bumped into each other before.”
“No, you probably wouldn’t have seen me. We switch it up every year to keep things interesting,” Eddie lied through his teeth.
They always went to Lake Michigan, but it was a special time with his uncle. As smitten as he was, he didn’t want to have to share those moments with Billy. At least not yet, Eddie had thought to himself, maybe a couple years down the line. Instead, he distracted Billy by telling him about Jeff, his best friend since childhood.
“That must be nice. I never had one of those. When did you guys meet? Was it here?”
“Man, I don’t even remember. It was so long ago! We must’ve met through family friends or something since I was homeschooled for a while,” Eddie half-lied.
He had been homeschooled when he hadn’t yet learned how to wear a more human guise, but he remembered perfectly the circumstances under which he and Jeff met. Jeff had been the first person to ever say Eddie’s name right. It had taken him a few tries, but he’d nailed it in the end. That wasn’t something Eddie would ever forget.
Eddie was so pleased by how eager Billy was to learn more about him. He asked questions about every tidbit of information Eddie slipped him. Eddie believed Billy was genuinely interested in him. He was too charmed to ever take note of the kinds of questions Billy would specifically ask.
Two months after their first encounter, Billy showed up to their dinner date wearing something new. It was a cheap ball chain necklace. From it hung what looked to Eddie like the end of a cat’s teaser toy. The feathers, however, looked nothing like the brightly colored plastic ones found on those toys. They looked like real wing feathers, with strong, black shafts and well-groomed vanes and barbs. The feathers were a very dark red.
“My little sister made it for me,” Billy said when he caught Eddie looking.
“You have a sister? You’ve never mentioned her,” Eddie said, surprised that it hadn't come up before. Billy nodded easily.
“She’s a lot younger than me. I get overprotective,” Billy said with a laugh. “Half the time, people assume she’s my kid. She hates it.”
“Will I get to meet her?” Eddie asked hopefully. “I’m great with kids.”
“I don’t know,” Billy said teasingly. “Will I get to meet your family, too?”
Eddie, senseless in his infatuation, said yes.
He was met with resistance from the start. He figured Uncle Wayne would be reluctant because he was a solitary man; he was never really comfortable around new people. He didn’t expect Jeff, his oldest friend, to flatly refuse.
“Why not?” Eddie balked, stung by the rejection. Jeff shook his head.
“I don’t like him,” he said.
“You haven’t even met him yet,” Eddie pouted.
“No, but that shirt you wore the other day was his, wasn’t it?”
“What does that have to do with anything?” Eddie asked, exasperated.
“It had a stink on it,” Jeff said.
“What, you don’t like his detergent?” Eddie asked, purposely obtuse.
“You know that’s not what I mean,” Jeff said irritably.
“Then be more specific! Was he born under an unlucky star? Is he possessed by a malevolent spirit? What did you get from the goddamn shirt, Jeff?”
“I don’t know! I don’t know what it was but it wasn’t good, and I don’t like it,” Jeff raised his voice. Jeff never raised his voice.
“For all you know, he could’ve just bumped into someone that got themselves cursed. You know that shit clings,” Eddie said. Jeff was one of the most amiable people Eddie knew. He didn’t understand where this was coming from, and it hurt. “C’mon, Jeff. Just this one time? He’s important to me and he wants to meet you because he knows you’re my best friend.”
“No, Eddy,” Jeff said, almost sadly, but not relenting even an inch. It pissed Eddie off.
“Fine,” Eddie spat. “Fine! Then you can be on babysitting duty while he’s visiting instead.”
“You’re bringing him here?” Jeff asked, appalled.
“Yes! Just because you don’t want to meet him doesn’t mean he shouldn’t get to meet Chrissy and Uncle Wayne.”
“Dustin and El live here. They still can’t keep their human shapes consistently! You’re going to let some random human–”
“He’s not a random human! He’s my boyfriend,” Eddie interrupted. “But I’m not an idiot, Jeff, of course I’m not going to let him see Dustin and El. They’ll be upstairs while he’s here. House can hide the upper level from him easily. And since you’ll be watching them, there shouldn’t be a problem.”
Jeff had conceded with a scowl. He made sure to tell Eddie he was doing it for the kids. Eddie had sneered at him. The two didn’t speak for the days leading up to the planned dinner. It was the longest fight they’d ever had.
When Billy visited for dinner, House looked like a small, cozy one-story home. Billy was his usual charming self. He wore the necklace his sister had given him that popped nicely against the light button-down he’d worn for the occasion. He’d brought Eddie flowers and some cupcakes from the local bakery as a dessert to share as well.
Uncle Wayne didn’t speak much, but that wasn’t unusual for him. Between Eddie and Chrissy, they were able to keep conversation flowing throughout dinner. After Billy left for the night, Eddie had eagerly asked two of his most favorite people what they thought of him.
“He smiles an awful lot,” Wayne said.
“Yeah,” Eddie sighed like a sap. He didn’t notice the suspicious, unhappy slant to Wayne’s mouth. Chrissy’s smile, when he asked her, was wobbly but he hadn’t noticed that either.
“Does he make you happy, Eddy?” she asked him. Eddie nodded, tugging a lock of hair over his face to hide his lovestruck smile.
“He does, Chris,” Eddie confessed. “He really, really does.”
That time he did see how her expression wobbled. She threw her arms around him in a tight hug. They stood there for a minute, swaying in the quiet.
“I don’t know about him, Eddy,” Chrissy said, tightening her grip when he tried to pull back. “I love you so much. I want you to be happy. I don’t know about him, but I trust you.”
At the time, the brief sting of Chrissy’s doubt was easily assuaged by her faith in him. He felt relieved and hopeful. Much later, he got sick with shame whenever he remembered that conversation.

Nicky Valentino (from Fictif) is an absolute comfort character for me, which means I’ve collected some information about him!
I just feel like I need to share what I’ve gathered with others who might be interested! Feel free to comment any other facts/headcannons/etc you guys have, I love to hear what other people think or picked up!
First off, here is a list of actual facts that can be found in the story or stated by the authors of TATW:
* The story takes place some time after April 1925 (cause Nicky knew about The Great Gatsby), but before August 1929 (because the story takes place before The Great Depression) - which is a 4 year 4 month time difference
* Possibly before 1928 (which is when phones changed from the candlestick) — that would make it a 3 year time gap
* He keeps a small tin of dog treats in his breast pocket incase he stumbles upon a stray
* There was a 3 year age gap between him and his sister
* His birthday is on November 12th.
* Nicky's favourite animal is the wolf.
* Nicky’s zodiac is Scorpio.
* His favourite colour is blue.
* His favourite alcoholic drink is whiskey.
* His favourite dishes are lobster, PB&J and anything made by MC.
* His favourite books are This Side Of Paradise and The Sun Also Rises.
* He was born in Sicily, Italy. Grew up in South Brooklyn
* Nicky is Catholic.
* His crimes include bootlegging, racketeering, obstruction of justice and loansharking.
* He did not enjoy his first time.
* His first kiss was when he was 15.
* His celebrity crush is Gloria Swanson.
* His dad kicked him out of the house for dressing like a gangster.
* He used to shine shoes as a teenager.
* In Chapter 9, two of his other henchmen are named/called Johnnyboy and Richie.
* In Chapter 10, it's revealed that he has made several charitable donations to a homeless shelter, a boys and girls club, and the church he went to as a kid.
* HE SINGS SWANEE TO MC WHILE THEY DANCE ON A BRIDGE AT NIGHT (I absolutely adore this song, so I about passed out when I read this scene lol)
* He is big reader and likes to learn from the books
* He grew up with big dogs
* If he wasn’t a gangster he would own a dog rescue center or be a model
* He is left handed
* His parents are from the country
* He had lots of nightmares as a kid
* His sister, Sofia, loved daisies
* Central Park is one of his favorite places in the city
* He prefers blackjack over poker
* This man straight up had flower crowns for us to wear and dance in before the wedding (I’d like to think he made them with the help of a maid who taught him)
Now some of my personal headcannons:
* When Mc and him are riding together he sits in the seat diagonal to the driver, cause that is the most dangerous seat in the mob world
* An Italian pet name Nicky calls MC is ‘Cara Mia’ which translates to my dear
* If Nicky and Mc have a daughter they would name her Sofia in memory his little sister.
* Definitely has some children’s books scattered among his bookshelf, considering he said…
Tumblr media
* He would most definitely do that thing where his kid stands on top of his feet and then dances them around the room
* Would be so down to adopt kids. Growing up on the streets, and having a horrible father, make him want to help all of the children in a similar position
* Would definitely want a big Italian family (if Mc was also down) cause he find family so important, and it makes him so happy to see their children. If Mc only wanted one kid though he would totally be fine, he is just so soft for the family dynamic and his kids
* (Ultrasounds weren’t a thing until the 1950’s, but let’s say they were created sooner) Nick would 110% tear up/cry seeing the first ultrasound, and once the baby is born and in Mc/his hands for the first time
* He LIVES for the cute domestic stuff. Like just cuddling and/or talking: ✅ Washing dishes together: sold! Making breakfast for Mc/together: a must!
* Nick has bi-wife energy and no one can convince me otherwise
* This man’s love language is 110% acts of service
And finally my last category for this list; all of the nicknames he calls MC:
* Toots
*honey
*(my)love
*sugar
*gorgeous
*baby
*sweetheart
*my one and only
*doll face
*sweet thing
*sweets
*my queen

OK SO I was listening to Chappel Roan and the song “casual” came on and holy shit… I’m having ideas like-
“My friends call me a loser cause I’m still hanging around” like you and Llewyn run in different circles and when your friends realize you’re hooking up with this homeless folk singer who clearly doesn’t care all that much for you they have some obvious concerns but you’re just so deep into it that you can’t get out, even though you know Llewyn doesn’t treat you the best or think of you as anything besides a quick fuck and a couch to sleep on
“You said ‘we’re not together’ so now when we kiss I have anger issues” like you’re putting so much time and effort into him, making sure he feels safe and comfortable with you and he’s just an asshole and you know he’s using you but you can’t help how much you care for him and how much you’re attracted to him and you just can’t stop even though you know it’ll only end badly
“Knee deep in the passenger seat and you’re eating me out, is it casual now?” like you can’t help but think about it every time you’re together, how adamant he is that this isn’t anything real but he’s in your bed more often than not even if he’s gone before you wake up or makes his way back to you couch afterwards and obviously y’all are getting it on any place any time because you have no self control and you feel awful afterwards but you just can’t stop
“And I try to be the chill girl that holds her tongue and gives you space” like you know what he needs and maybe you’re younger than him and you’re desperately trying to be like those cool older girls but you’re just not because you care too much to be so nonchalant all the time and you genuinely want him to be happy even if that means he’s not with you
“I fucked you in the bathroom when we went to dinner, your parents at the table, you wonder why I’m bitter” like maybe you go out with him somewhere and run into his friends and you can tell he’s obviously a little embarrassed that you’re meeting them because you’re so different and you’re younger but when he drags you from the table it’s to the bathroom and you hate how eager you are
“I hate that I let this drag on so long, now I hate myself” like eventually you cut it off and realize that as much as you care for him he doesn’t care about you so you distance yourself and you feel awful for weeks and weeks but eventually your life gets better and you find a good person who treats you well and introduces you to his friends and isn’t embarrassed to hold your hand in public and maybe one night you run into Llewyn and he sees you with this new guy and his regret is obvious but you’re not even going to entertain that idea because you know you deserve better
Anyway, I love pain and I love making my blorbos suffer (and like as much as I love and adore my sad little kitten man we all know he’s lowkey a bitch lmao but I still love him) and the whole entire song fits but I just wanted to highlight some of my fav lyrics and also otherwise this would be so long and it’s already long bahahaha
no because what hurts the most about this is that HE WOULD. HE ABSOLUTELY WOULD.
realistically if I existed in the inside llewyn davis universe I would be his victim lmfao I'm 100% sure about that
funfact I listened to the song before reading your whole ask and I knew this would hurt but NOT THAT MUCH you somehow managed to make this worse. 😭this broke me why would you do this to me I didn't expect THIS kind of angst when you dmed me .

Domestic Life HCs with Kazuha, Venti, and Gorou
Kazuha
· As we all know, Kazuha is a wanderer at his core, so he would love to continue this lifestyle even when people suggest that he settle down
· It is more than likely that you and Kazuha simply just own or rent small houses whenever you stay in any region for lengthy periods of time.
· When you are aboard the Alcor, Beidou is more than willing to let you stay with Kazuha (provided that you aid in the tasks around the days).
· When the time comes for Kazuha and you to settle down in a permanent home, most would assume that he would return to Inazuma.
o While he cares for his homeland and cherishes the memories in it, if you were rather taken with another nation, he would settle down anywhere as long as it was with you.
· Kazuha adores gardening and while he prefers not to mess with the natural state of his land, he wants to make sure that there is nothing that could ever harm or startle his lovely s/o.
· Maple trees can be found blooming all over your shared land, and Kazuha always stares at them with a bittersweet look before giving you the sweetest kiss.
· All he really desires is a quiet life with his s/o, with many future journeys to be made, but knowing that they have made a home together that they can always return to.
· Also, this man is a HUGE tease! He will never miss the opportunity to fluster you until you are hiding your face from him.
 Venti
· Man, I know the fandom at large likes to believe/joke that he is homeless or something, but I genuinely think that he has a place to stay. Though he probably doesn’t stay there for long because it’s too quiet and empty and he would rather be around people.
· At least that’s how it is until he meets you, his beloved windblume! Now he can’t wait to rush home after a long day of singing in the hot sun near his statue and just jump into your shared bed with you.
o He especially enjoys repaying you (with cuddles and lovely dates) for bringing him a cold beverage halfway through the long day as you go about your daily commissions.
· Venti really enjoys making his s/o laugh! He always goes above and beyond to coax even the smallest chuckle from your lips, from making silly faces to cheesy jokes to even pulling pranks on various people around Mondstadt.
· He can be serious, though. When he is home with you, he often loses his playful mask and relishes being able to share every emotion with his lovely s/o!
· Dating this lovely bard means that you have allowed the constant presence of music in your life from the sappiest love song inspired by you to the silliest, most cursed creation ever.
· Venti is decent at cooking, but he can and will take over other chores like cleaning and gardening because he believes that his talents in housekeeping lie there.
Gorou
· General Gorou simply wishes for a quiet life with his s/o since the Decree has ended and gets incredibly irritated when anyone tries to mess with that wish.
· Even though the battles are over, Gorou continues his training to keep his skills sharp. He refuses to allow anything to threaten his s/o or him.
· Gorou is known for always going above and beyond for the Resistance, but now he dedicates himself to always go above and beyond for you!
o He remembers every miniscule fact about you and is very pleased if you remember something about him.
o Dates are always astounding with him around
o And he gets very emotional whenever you gift him with anything
· He is very touch-starved because he denied himself physical affection during his time in the Resistance to protect himself both emotionally and physically.
· Gorou gets really flustered with PDA but is practically attached to you in private, from holding your hand during meals to dragging you to the couch for cuddles to holding you close to him as you do chores together.
· Anyway 10/10. Very sweet domestic life with him.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I actually planned to release this sometime later in the week. However, I couldn’t sleep so here we are. I have a couple more pieces written out, just need to type them up when I get a chance. I hope y’all enjoy this piece!!

Okay, I finally decided to get all my thoughts about 2015 RTC (14/02/2015) into a sort of comprehensive, semi chronological list.
. We already had a Tragic Fact recording, but it's nice to have options. Also they REALLY want you to know they'll be damned if they're working at the mall
. I love Sarah Jane Peltzer's voice
. U.R.A.N.I.U.M is nice, but, God it's hard to hear the lyrics
. According to Kholby, Noel canonically would've written "bisexual werewolf stories", and I just think Noel's terrible writing should be focused on more in fanworks
. Noel's Lament is essentially the same, but it was the version where Monique has a kid. I get why they cut it
. Ocean's dad being left-wing and her mum being right-wing makes for a really interesting conflict, and contextualises "Some of us are left-wing, some of us are right wing..."
. The full version of Play To Win is so different to how imagined it. (And pretty ableist, so yikes) Very catchy though. And I love Rielle Braid.
. Tbh I understand why the crowd loved Play To Win so much.
. As an avid Ocean fan, I really enjoy Brooke Maxwell's whole speech about her character.
. I'd love to see a woman play Mischa in an actual production, however...
. No "take a look baby, he's the real ka-ching"?
. No "Shawtyyyyyy"?
. Is this song even awesome?!?!?
. Talia:
Tumblr media
. Let me tell you, I was jumping for joy when Small Things Become Big Things started playing. Well, more accurately, I was so happy I could have jumped for joy but I was saving my energy for other matters.
. References aside, STBBT was almost exactly how I expected it to be, although it was slightly short
. "Once I saw a homeless person eat a raccoon" I love Elliot Loran.
. "Okay, I'm totally having a nervous breakdown right now and I'm going to go grab a beer, and you guys should go grab a beer cause it's intermission" I. Love. Elliot. Loran!
. Early Space Age Bachelor Man was somehow even crazier, also, is it bad that I prefer "Their generals are on holiday, Oh Ricky Potts, what should we do?" to the current one?
. "I spent a lot of time staring at other people's skin and wishing it was my skin" I also love Sarah Jane Peltzer.
. The early Ballad was a lot more on the nose than the current one. Special shout-out to the lyrics: "At the end of the day we're just dead" and "It must be nice, To have a body attached to their head"
."AMELODYFLOATSTHROUGHTHEAITWHENSILENCEFALLSDOESNOONECARE"
. As always, Sugar Cloud is brilliant.
. "Isn't that recorder solo the bomb?" Did I mention I love everyone in this cast?
. Three things one guy on the team suggested: Jane gets wings and ascends into the sky. Everyone comes back to life. KARNAK GETS A SONG?!?
. It's Not A Game/ It's Just A Ride really hasn't changed much in 8 years.
. "Kelly, is there anything that doesn't make you cry?"
. La La Love: La la la, lala, la la la. La LALALA?!?
In conclusion, always check SoundCloud.

Alright, let’s hear it
HI SORRY I'M LATE!!
I know this is about this post I made because I got it like. not even a day after.. so.. for context!
Tumblr media
SO like I said, I think Dr. Horrible is actually pretty solid writing wise.
I think you could make it an actual (maybe off-broadway budget lvl) musical with a toooouch of rewrites. I think literally just removing the use of slurs (there's like, two, in the whole musical. which sucks but its also like…10+ years old) would make it really palatable for a modern day audience.
Lots of songs like A Man's Gotta Do touch on subjects waay ahead of the public discussion on them like toxic masculinity (again the movies like 14 years old), and I also think it's interesting that in THAT song in particular, the one who espouses these toxic ideals is not the super macho sterotype Captain Hammer, but the our nerdy, underdog, 'relatable' main character.
Tumblr media
I also think that it would be greatly improved as a script if Penny didn't die at the end. Now THIS is where it gets lengthy and where I bring in the read more…
I think it would be much more interesting if Penny didn't die. I also really hate it because from the moment she dies on, she's instantly weirdly dehumanized by both the narrative and the literal lyrics, where she is refferred to as "everything you ever…" It's weird to me and I never really liked it.
Tumblr media
I think it would be much more interesting if she wound up, as a result of the freeze ray, gaining powers and going against Dr. Horrible. Or something similar.
Now Penny, in real early 2000s girl fashion, is not written to be as in depth or 3 dimensional as the other male characters in the movie ( which is fine to me, as the movie is clearly satirical and very tongue-in-cheek, ALL the characters are more or less stereotypes ).
But what we do know about her is that she is already established to be both very altruistic and a weird parallel to Dr. Horrible.
Tumblr media
Her first song, "Caring Hands" is her literally trying to get help for a local homeless shelter that she's dedicated to, and in her third song "Pennys Song," she explains WHY she cares about her town specifically and WHY she is so dedicated to help.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It reads to me as very superhero-y! There are lots of superheros (Spiderman,Batman, you KNOW THEM) who are very dedicated to one specific town or city because something of relevance happened to them there or there's a deep emotional connection (i.e. this need to "fix" a town). So in that way, it still works as a sort of parody of already established superhero characters.
I also think she's someone who idolizes heroism in general, as getting saved by Captain Hammer is what draws her to be interested in him in the first place.
Now, where she works as a sort of narrative foil/mirror really kicks in in the song "My Eyes", where her and Dr. Horrible sing about their completely different points of view (simplified, it's optimism v. pessimism, altruism v. anarchy) … but once in a while in this duet (which they sing on opposite ends of town)…. their words overlap!
Tumblr media
And they both wind up saying the same word, or similar phrases, though in completely different contexts.
Tumblr media
I think this could totally have been a set up for a fantastic dynamic where they work as dynamic opposites of each other!! Especially if Dr. Horrible stays pining for her long after she becomes a hero? Ough! The drama! The intrigue!
It especially works for me because Dr. Horrible doesn't really care for Penny? Outside of the idealized version of her he's conjured in his mind. Which we know he's been doing since the start of the movie by the way.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
He KNOWS she's altruistic and he KNOWS she cares about people, and she has told him this to his FACE, but he keeps on with his antagonistic plans anyways because he thinks he's smarter than her. At his core, he thinks he's better than her and that she can't make decisions for herself.
He even says in one song that he knows she'll cry over what he's going to do but resolves to still do it. He wants power over her,essentially. He wants her the way you want a shiny new toy.
Tumblr media
Yet he still wants to try to impress her. Her opinion means EVERYTHING to him because in his mind she's still deified.
During his big villain moment towards the end of the movie one of his ONLY concerns is her seeing him, even now worried that her opinion of him will be tainted.
Tumblr media
He even,tellingly, in this moment- calls himself by her nickname for him to soothe himself.
Tumblr media
TELL ME THAT DOESN'T JUST SMACK OF A CRAZY INTERESTING HERO/VILLAIN DYNAMIC!!! Especially if Penny, knowing her big heart, continues to not give up on him. But MAN is it hard.
