Type Maps for The Pairing by Casey McQuiston

Everything is peach and lilac and cream, except for the gardens, which are riotously green. Theo-and-Kit. Theo-and-Kit. Theo-and-Kit. I love them and this book so much! 😍

When Jay Mack first heard, "Captain," it was 2022, and the song was still incomplete. I initially sent him a rough draft of what Erich and I had recorded up to that point. Once he had the rough cut in his possession, he pressed me for a third verse as often as he could. I assured him I was working on one. He said, "Let me know when it's all done, I got an idea for it!"

Fast forward to 2024 and you get to witness that very concept from Jay, brought to life, in the manner in which he envisioned it. When him and Timmy Sramowitz sent me the image they were going to paint, I was speechless.

I had to reach out to Jimmy Giambrone, so he could capture this creative process at the Mural Maker studio in Toms River, NJ. Having Slimbo on set to shoot and edit this video was a must for all of us. His style of cinematography sets the scene like no other.

The mix-mastering Champ, Matty Horant, popped in to rhyme a few of his favorite scriptures. He plays a vital part of the masterpiece. He has mastered every song of ours for the past decade, not just this one. Here's a brother/audio engineer who's not in the spotlight or even out for the shine, yet keeps the vocals and instruments radio ready every time.

The day Erich 'Off The' Wald tailored the instrumental bed as I recorded the third verse was an unforgettable session. The additional chords he implemented. The organ. The dropouts. Everything fell into place/play perfectly, and we just knew we had something special. Those were the final adjustments made before the Field Day album was bounced/sent off for digital release/physical manufacturing.

This video is such a tremendous blessing to be able to present. To collaborate with Jay Mack and Timmy is a dream come true. To glorify the one Who gave us all of our talents and got us through ... that's just giving the credit where all the credit is due.

Apologies if my previous ask gave you a lot of trouble. But it's probably gonna happen again because I still have more questions inside my brain, and I very much will connect dots somewhere.

So, time to ask about plot. Lapis and her crew have to deal with being diplomats and detectives, probably trying to figure out the whole deal with a lot of things. While I am curious who exactly are the 'enemies' on both sides, (my bet is probably gonna be on the Bugs, considering you mentioned wanting them to skitter off and cause problems elsewhere, but it probably isn't just one species causing problems in this case) I'd rather ask about something else for now just to get an idea of the main political players.

First off, is Queen Rosamund the Rose Queen who was assassinated? Permanent or temporary death? And if it is her, that technically means her son Wilfred would probably get the crown, yes? Unless there's some bullshit that happens...

Secondly, we don't know anything about the Dragon King other than the fact he was dethroned by someone. Who exactly are both of them? What are the latter's goals?

But I also know this is a lot for me to ask. Answer only what you feel comfortable answering if you wanna keep other things secret for now. ☆

absolutely no worries but also thank you for giving me something more specific to answer! I'll want to keep a lot of cards close to my chest, but I can give you some dots to collect and follow! <3 To answer the first question: Yes! Queen Rosamund is the one who is going to be assassinated at the worst time possible. But it's a temporary death! (this is the RK world, after all! And I'm going to make a running joke about politicians hiring assassins to kill off rivals and opponents, so the Queen getting offed isn't exactly surprisingly even if it's VERY weird whoever killed her got past all of her Spider protectors) And yes, if Rosamund is dead for any reason, Wilfred is put in charge and he's the one running the show until his mum revives. But of course I'll be saving the reason why that's going to become an absolute trashcan fire that'll explode when I tell the official RK story >:3c Secondly, uhhhhhh Dragons kinda go through Kings and Queens and Rulers like toast. The average span of a Dragon King is like, 2-3 years before the next one dethrones them or executes them or humiliates them in front of the whole forest. It's hard to keep track who's in charge, apart from whoever is still on the Council. So none of the Roses KNOW who the new Dragon King is. As for the new Dragon King's agenda? It's simple! A tiny bit of revenge, but honestly he's trying to end this bloody war as quickly as possible so everyone can finally move on with their lives. And if he has to kill all the Dragons or all Roses to do it? Fine with him.

I'm saving most of my Dragon secrets for later, but until then I am very excited you've taken an interest in the Dragon side of the war! Hope these crumbs keep you amused for a bit! :3

The people yearn for a spaghetti western au, but do not be fooled by propaganda! Would Sonic really be a sheriff? Come off it.

Here's are my alternatives:

Sonic is an actual cowboy. If he had to have a job, I think he'd like one that is outdoors, tending animals, always on the move.

Or! This one's cute! He tends a Chao farm. Basically just taking care of them but in a western setting.

He's an outlaw! The law is corrupt, maybe the town is run by Eggman. Perhaps... Metal Sonic is the sheriff? (Eggman already has a train for him to rob, ppl!)

For shipping, how about some rodeo rivals, year after year, interchanging between 1st and 2nd by the smallest of margins?

Sonic as a rodeo clown or bullfighter, as in, the person who keeps the bullrider safe when they fall x bullrider?

There's something to be said about characters who have high intellect and have demonstrated that time and time again via. their positions in society (being doctors, a pioneer in some field, etc.) falling into the Jester Archetype pipeline. I won't say what. But there's a diagnosis for this.

the cultural impact of that one "i love disco elysium's writing but wish it was about being a cute teenage witch who lost her cat in the alps" tweet

[mrswhymrhow]

i love that painting because its fascinating to me to consider what it would feel/sound like being in something made for sensory deprication and be at the beach. to me the beach is incredibly strong on all the senses. its always windy the sand feels a certain way the water itself the smell the wind on you the sound of the waves constantly. its all encompassing. the idea of going and expressly denying all of that in is interesting

[thego-through]

I think something that'd be really interesting that i wish happened with MHA is that the whole plot could have taken place during all three years of Izuku's time in UA. Like all the major plot points (USJ, Stain, The Camp, Overhaul, and The final war) could have taken place during different points in time of the three years. This way you could get more screentime for the students who don't have as much development and even show the growth of all their quirks from year to year. Plus the relationships that they build with one another and how much they care and when it shows (1A going after Izuku during his Dark hero arc for example)

Yk I've been thinking

Anytime I see an kuro x twst au, it's always kuro characters in twst

But what if I put twst characters in kuro?
