ult interaction 🥰

[lilyblairkinda]

@miiashiifts posted a cute shifting exercise, and I wanted to try it, too! Here's the link to that post where the og by @withluvvenus is linked, too!

1. Down Bad by Taylor Swift

My Haegeum DR! It's very loosely based on the idea of gangster Yoongi from the Haegeum music video. We're a bit toxic there. Not really, but maybe if you squint. We both get scared of our feelings and run away several times. The bridge is especially resonant with this iteration of Yoongi/Agust.

2. Genie by SNSD

I panicked when this one came on. It's always been one of my personal favorite SNSD tracks, but it's so hard to relate it to one of my DRs. I could get lazy and tell you this is how I think of Yoongi, how I'd want to treat him and speak to him, but I think you all deserve a bit more effort than that. Instead, I'll say that when I imagine my trainee days in my Mave DR, I imagine the pre-debut team performing a few SNSD songs over the years. SNSD was the biggest girl group in SK alongside 2ne1 when I was a trainee, and I think I better suit SNSD's concept tbh. I love Taeyeon's part in the final chorus and love to think of tiny 14/15 year old Lily covering it, lol.

3. Pop/Stars by KDA

I fear that I skipped several songs because I had nothing interesting to say about them. This one was one of the first songs I added to my discography in my Mave DR, though. I really wanted my group to have a legacy, an image of greatness that followed us around. I don't know if anyone remembers how big this song was for K-pop stans when it dropped, but I really wanted that kind of pandemonium for us. Furthermore, I wanted to be a part of a group with both vocal and rap prowess, and this song helped me to visualize everyone's skills as I began to script.

4. I Bet by Ciara

This song came from my better cr playlist, lol. I started scripting it as a way to cope with a breakup in this reality, so I scripted said break up into that reality, too. This song describes my feelings about that relationship in both realities. I suppose it may resonate with Yoongi, too. He's always been there for me in that reality. We've been best friends since middle school, and I've been oblivious to his feelings for nearly just as long. And if he did dedicate this song for me there, then he'd be right. If he fell for anyone else, my clueless ass would suddenly be very hurt. But that's not our storyline there, lol.

I'm still learning to use Tumblr, so please excuse how ugly this post is. I'm trying to wait to do DR intros until I figure out how to do everything. Hopefully this will give you all more insight into the places I talk about, though.

🔵 🔴 🟠 🟣 💳 🌻 🎱🔫 🛸 🍜

For the BT ask game

( @is-the-battlemech-cool-or-not )

🔵 House Liao, suprisingly. They make good shit. Cataphract is a solid mech and i respect that. Also Thunder Augmented. I am not biased at all.

🔴Word of Blake, for obvious reasons. Don't bring a fucking communications blackout around and maybe, just fuckin' maybe, I'd even hear 'em out.

🟠Unknown. Probably one of the extinct Clans to be honest. So much wasted potential, destroying so many Clans...

🟣 3 faves from planets ive visited? Ohhh that's a tough one. Uhhh. Canopus, solidly up there. Folks were lovely, though a lot of people after that campaign tried to get me to get augmentations for cat ears, for some reason. Hm. Surprisingly, I'm on pretty okay terms with the Kuritans. I got to tour a factory or two in the Luthien Armor Works division while discussing Panther refits. Not on merc duty while i was on there, that was one of the conditions. Never mind the fact none of them got accepted... Last fave might go to Detroit. Pizza was excellent, did a mercenary contract for one of the parlors as part of clearing out a local... competitor as well as another merc company.

💳 Oh, favorite client? It was a local militia in the Federated Suns area that put out an emergency contract fighting the WOB. They gave me a free Striker! I still ride with it to this day.

🌻 What do I think of the Clans... hm. That's got a lotta nuance to it. I specifically requested some trials to keep the planet I was on intact. I think it was Diamond Shark? The ones with the purse, i know that. I've fought Smoke Jaguar before, relentless little bastards. Crushed a good chunk of our own before the second wave landed and shredded the frontliners. Hard won fight. I've joked a few times about stealing Clan Hell's Horses' ideas, and that got my dumbass a Trial of Grievance i think it was. Won that mostly by bringing enough Schreks and Demolishers to split focus between ranges while distracting what was left with Hunchbacks and our resident mech-belt-sander Stafford in his Longbow. Other than that, they're alright. I don't wanna pick fights with 'em if i can avoid it, to be real though.

🎱 Nobility? Fuck 'em. The system only works at gunpoint, in my experience. There are good politicians but honest workers on that level are few and far between.

🔫 Grenade launcher. Grenade go boom, what can i say? Hehehe.

🛸 Phantom Mech can be easily explained away by RISC style ECM suites and fuckery related to targeting computers. Aliens? Nope. Clanners in Elemental battle armor. But there is some talk i've heard around about some prototype AI core floating about in deep space piloting some random geometric looking ship. Weird weaponry that disintegrates ships and casually breaks known laws of thermodynamics and particle physics, time-flow alteration, fluctuations in space and shiny white hulls with nigh-organic looking construction. Spooky shit. The spacer I heard it from was pale as a ghost. He saw it firsthand rip apart a ship of his that I'd never heard of before. Muttered something about never leaving the core worlds again... and I don't know hwat he means by "core worlds" but I don't think i can blame him.

🍜 There's an incredibly specific Mexican chain at my homebase that i get my burritos from. Has white queso, shrimp, some peppers and jalapeno. They've memorized my order from all the times i've rolled in the parking lot with a Striker.

[micamicster]

Trouble Man

this is. okay. this is. marvel fic. (throw your tomatoes now okay get it over with i understand i'll wait) but since we are in 2013 mentally. I thought i might as well? Bucky scene to follow!

[This is "canon compliant" if you imagine that the author has not seen any marvel movies post black panther (the first) and has seen maybe four episodes (not consecutive) of the sam bucky tv show. because she hasn't. enjoy!]

~

Sam lowers himself stiffly onto the steps of the porch, then keeps going, tipping his head back until it hits the top step. The stretch brings a good ache with it, a familiar one, that briefly overshadows the crueler hurts still lingering under the suit. He sighs.

He can feel Bucky more than see him, standing just outside of the ring of light cast by the porch lamp. He’s doing that thing that other people call looming, but Sam has come to see as more of an anxious hovering. Something Bucky does when he’s got something to say and isn’t sure how to say it, or thinks he should be doing something but he’s not quite sure what it is. It shows up a lot when Sam is fucked over and dead on his feet, so he associates it with the worst of Bucky’s mother-hen impulses. What a life he leads.

“Steve—“ starts Bucky, and thankfully stops there. Even the name hurts to hear. He doesn’t want to talk about Steve right now.

For a minute there’s just the darkness, the faint breeze stirring the wind chimes and the leaves, the distant rumble of a semi on the main road… all familiar and comforting and in their places. And then there’s Bucky.

“I make it harder,” says Bucky. “For you.”

Sam swallows. He’s grateful for the arm he threw over his face, for the way it obscures his facial expression. Bucky’s always looking. He looks too hard, like he’s trying to crack Sam open and see all the pieces. Figure him out.

“It was always going to be harder for me. It’s not because of you, man. This was always going to be…” he’s so tired. “Hard.”

“But I don’t make it easier.”

“Yeah, you’re a real pill, I won’t lie to you.”

Bucky snorts faintly, but he doesn’t loosen up and sit down next to Sam, toss the insult back, cut the hovering. There are faint clicks and shuffling as his arm recalibrates, the closest thing he has to a nervous tic. What has Sam’s life become, that the faint whirr of an assassin shifting his metal arm is familiar enough that he can pick it out of the sounds of home with his eyes closed?

He lets himself consider, for a moment, what it would be like if Steve was here. By his side again but with their places swapped, Captain America’s right hand man. Steve, with his wry sense of humor and his aw-shucks grin and his noble, idealistic heart. His roman nose that Bucky had broken with a fastball in 1937. His blond hair and his blue eyes and his experimental ubermensch shoulders and…

He tries to shrug, but it’s more of a wince. Everything is one big fucking bruise. “If it wasn’t you, it’d be something else. There’s always something else.”

Bucky is silent.

As the silence draws out Sam feels a flicker of fear. By the next breath it’s panic—that Bucky’s slipped away already, vanished into the dark like the ghost he is. That he walks away from all of this and leaves Sam twisting in the wind.

He sits up too fast, muscles screaming in protest, and Bucky’s right there where he always is. Looking at him.

“Don’t,” Sam starts. Don’t what? Don’t leave him alone?

He has dreams, sometimes, where he’s still chasing Bucky. Where he never stopped. Searching for him through cities and train stations and his own old high school gymnasium with the strange driving logic of dreams, knowing only that he’s lost something. Dreams where he’s running through a crowd, grabbing people to look in their faces—it’s never the right face.

He doesn’t want to do this shit alone. He’s a social motherfucker, he’s not cut out for the lone hero shtick.

He tries saying that, and Bucky only frowns harder. At least it’s his “I don’t understand the way you speak,” frown, which is a personal favorite.

 “You have people. You have… options.” Options who aren’t infamous soviet assassins with weekly thinkpieces published on the topic of his guilt or innocence or sanity, Sam assumes he means.

“Options? Name three.” So maybe he’s being stubborn about stupid crap, but he’s fucking tired, okay? It’s been a long day, full of gooey aliens and collapsing buildings and combative press conferences, and now he has to deal with… whatever this has turned into.

“Torres. Natalia. Sh—“

“I thought you were my partner. I thought you were my… guy.” He glares at what he can see of Bucky. His frowning face is still half-hidden in shadow, because he’s an idiot who operates on vampire rules. An invitation, then, Sam can do that. “That means you’re here until I tell you to get lost, okay? Let’s make it real fucking easy. When I say you’re here, you’re here.”

“I’m here,” Bucky parrots. There’s something soft in his eyes as he moves to give Sam a hand up. Maybe it’s just the flickering yellow porch light, maybe not.

I'm doing GREAT I'm having FUN I am PILOTING A GIANT ROBOT everything is FANTASTIC. Except for the sludge I fear.

[xcziel]

it is JIMONDAY in this house, and i have to say MUSE as a whole is still a phenomenal listen!

i have decided that basically the cassette-tape design nods on Muse give me permission to count FACE as Side A and MUSE as Side B of a single two-part album, because (as many have pointed out, including me) *dammit* if they don't work PERFECTLY that way

Live performance of WHO tonight on Jimmy Fallon, and then we get remixes too!!!
