I’m not a swishy videomaker. I don’t know how. I’m Gen X. My fan vids have an Eighties/Nineties feel, I guess. Because that’s when I grew up.
Biffy Clyro are an alternative rock band from Scotland. Many of Horror was released in 2010.
I love this song for our boys.

I suppose I could think for just a tiny little bit, late at night when I have a really bad cold starting and can't get any sleep, about an NL/EC toxic yaoi story centring around the NLs staying the same trash pre and post heresy while the EC starts out as some kind of unattainable epitome of perfection in the eyes of our deeply messed up extremely poor self care and devastating inferiority complex possessing NL...
To the point that an intense obsessive rivalry develops that, viewed objectively, the EC may not even actually be aware exists although they end up learning quite a lot about each other because I'll need it to hurt them later. Like a sort of "oh ho ho good try my grotty little opossum sidekick I know your past traumas from your sickeningly inferior homeworld make things difficult for you" (glows with patrician beauty, ruffles NL's hair affectionately, gauntlet comes away covered in grease and broken glass) while the lost footage from Event Horizon plays in the NL's head as he wants so desperately to tear him open and curl up inside the resulting cavity like a big blue cat.
And then the post heresy part would just be me hitting every possible monkey's paw exact words you finally got what you wanted pain point I can think of. Like they encounter one another again and the EC is now DTFF (the extra F is for the extra fleshy protrusions) but it's like the dynamic between them is reversed and the same sweaty terrible taste in anime NL is the reasonable and competent one versus the debauched tentacle monster the EC has now become. And despite being so far gone the EC still remembers every single item of personal knowledge he learned about the NL and now has zero compunctions about using it to torment and manipulate him.
It would end with a big musical number tragedy. And its title will be a quote from some indie song from 2006 that only I remember. Purpose Built To Not Feel Guilt perhaps.

100 Albums To Understand Muse - Part 2 [STYLE Series #004 - Muse (August 2010)]
ASIA
Asia
(1982)
The first album by the supergroup that brought together ex-King Crimson's John Wetton, ex-Yes' Steve Howe & Jeffrey Downes and ex-ELP's Carl Palmer. The band's catchy melodies and dense sound were more important than their progressive experimentalism and grandeur. ‘Heat of the Moment’ was a big hit. -S
ASTOR PIAZZOLLA
Tango: Zero Hour
(1986)
Produced by the brilliant Kip Hanrahan, the world's greatest bandoneon player and the most important figure who changed tango history with his unique compositions that added elements of classical and jazz. In the early days Matthew spoke of tango influences, but if you want to hear tango purely as music, start with this masterpiece. It is a whirlwind of intense sensuality and emotion. -S
BAUHAUS
In The Flat Field
(1979)
The first masterpiece from Bauhaus, led by New Wave/Gothic Rock legend Peter Murphy. The band's songs such as the hauntingly intense ‘Double Dare’ and ‘Stigmata Mater’, with Daniel Ash's guitar sharply driving, do not sound old even today. Peter's ever-changing vocals are also a charm. -S
BIFFY CLYRO
Only Revolutions
(2009)
The fifth album from the Scottish trio, two of the three brothers, who have often fronted Muse for their heavy guitars, emotional melodies and playing ability. Uplifting songs such as ‘Mountains’, with its piano intro and intense development, and ‘Many of Horror’, with its beautiful strings, shine. -S
BLACK SABBATH
Paranoid
(1970)
I've never heard the Muse guys mention Sabbath directly as an influence, but for Matthew, who grew up on 90s grunge, it's a huge indirect influence. It's a great foundation for musicians who aspire to heavier music beyond the categories of hard rock and metal. The groove created by the throbbing bass riffs heard in the songs on this second album is similar to Matthew's music… -J
COLDPLAY
A Rush Of Blood To The Head
(2002)
Matthew and Chris Martin are said to be friends, although both have been aware of each other since they were expected to be Radiohead's successor bands. It is clear that they have at least been checking each other and inspiring each other. The solemn, classical influences of this album give the impression of a worldview more in tune with Muse's. -H
THE CLASH
London Calling
(1979)
The quartet at the heart of the London punk movement that erupted at the end of the 1970s broke down the framework of the formalised punk sound and expanded their musical range considerably by incorporating ska, dub/reggae rock ‘n’ roll, calypso and more on this eclectic third album. Tight, hard-hitting, yet catchy, this album is renowned as a masterpiece of 80s UK rock. -I
THE COOPER TEMPLE CLAUSE
See This Through And Leave
(2002)
The first album from this talented multi-instrumentalist UK band, which split up in 2007. Loud guitars, bold synths and masculine vocals are fresh even today. Includes the exhilarating ‘Let's Kill Music’, reminiscent of Mansun, and ‘Been Training Dogs’ with its impressive three-beat riff. They also accompanied Muse on their ‘01 tour. -S
Translator's Note: I couldn't find the full album playlist for The Cooper Temple Clause's debut album on YouTube at all. Out of 11 songs, only 2 are available as music videos but the rest are hidden. So the Spotify link is my compromise. For what can be said, the debut album isn't available in my region on iTunes Store too.

[fic] When We Collide (We Come Together)
Fandom: Top Gun Maverick
Pairings: Bradley ‘Rooster’ Bradshaw/Jake ‘Hangman’ Seresin
Characters: Bradley ‘Rooster’ Bradshaw, Jake ‘Hangman’ Seresin
Rating: Explicit
.
A one-two punch out, thick black smoke belching in ropes from the hills and scrub. He was sure, so sure that was it. So he left the base, aimless with momentum and frenetic without cause.
Seeing Hangman is the only time Rooster’s felt like stopping.
