when asked, i think you would say

"i felt it stirring, calling when i least expected."

something waking from the depths of winter

stretching, blinking,

calling

when asked, i do not say

"i searched acres of trees, calling,

till my throat burned and my voice grew raw."

vigilant in my search,

never resting.

you did not stumble upon me by chance

nor fate,

i forced these roots to take hold,

and i will nurture

till my body decays, turning to compost.

a final meal, a sacrifice.

when asked, i say,

"i never could have seen it coming,

but when it called,

i had no choice but to answer."

[kirbykonka]

I had a dream but the only thing I can remember about it were the words “I would be content to live as a lapdog if it was you that I pawed at eternally”

This weekend is your birthday weekend and you have been looking forward to it for months because your ghoul boyfriend, Mountain, promised you a weekend with just the two of you since the band isn’t on tour the days leading to your birthday. Its the morning of your birthday and you’re fast asleep in bed. You’re usually awake before him, but considering the long night you both had last night, you are asleep when Mountain wakes up. He smiles and kisses your forehead before getting out of bed. After the bathroom, he decides to make you some breakfast so you can wake up to the smell and see that he’s making you your favorite. Once he’s done, he chuckles to himself when he sees you haven’t moved an inch, not even when he was humming in the kitchen and drumming with chop sticks on the counter while he waited for the eggs to cook. He smirks as an idea comes into his head. He remembers you two having a talk in the beginning of your relationship about how you have always wanted to be woken up to morning sex and what better day than your birthday, he thought.

He makes his way over to the bed slowly sinking down on his knees at the foot of the bed as he slowly takes the blanket off your already naked body. You shiver a bit in your sleep as he whispers, “Don’t worry angel, you’ll be warm again soon”. He leans forward holding himself over you as he kisses your neck gently, then slowly trails his kisses down to your chest kissing each of your breasts before taking one of your nipples between his lips giving it a soft tug in between his teeth causing a little gasp to escape your lips and goosebumps to fill your skin. You slowly start to wake up as you feel his lips all over your body trailing down lower. The next thing you feel is your legs being spread open and Mountain dragging his tongue through your folds. You moan out softly opening your eyes and looking down at him with a smile as you say “Mmm, Good morning”. He looks up at you from the spot between your legs with a smirk on his face as he says, “Good Morning Birthday Girl”. He dives back between your legs as he flicks his tongue against your clit causing you to moan out his name and arch your back off the bed a bit as you reach one hand above your head gripping the pillow and the other hand falls into his hair gripping it. He continues his play on your clit with his tongue then he slips a finger into you causing you to whine out because his fingers aren’t enough, you want him. Your hips squirm as you grind yourself against his tongue and moan out, “Fuck I need you so bad please” and he replies with “Ill give you whatever you want”.

He leaves your core and positions himself over your body as he reaches your lips and kisses you roughly as he pulls down his boxers. You wrap your legs around his waist when his boxers are off and he reaches a hand down between the both of you grabbing his cock and he rubs the tip through your folds getting himself lubricated from your wetness. His breathing hitches from feeling how wet you are and he places his tip into your entrance then pushes in slowly as you both let out moans. Once he’s settled deep inside of you, he positions himself better as he leans down finally kissing you again and he starts moving his hips in and out of you. Your legs round his waist loosens and falls as you spread himself wider for him. You place both hands in his hair gripping it as he slowly starts to pick up his pace thrusting into you a little faster. He curses against your lips as he tries to keep his human glamour up. He doesn’t like having sex with you in his ghoul form because he’s afraid of hurting you, but by the sounds of his grunts and his pace quickening and hardening, you don’t think he can hold back much longer. He groans louder as you toss your head back breathing heavily and gripping the bedsheets tight in your fists. Suddenly you hear a sound that sound like a growl and your pussy feels like its being stretched wider, so you gasp out and open your eyes seeing him in his ghoul form now. Panic spreads across his face and he’s about to pull out before you shake your head and wrap your legs around his waist again, “Mountain please, please dont stop that feels so good, i promise you aren’t going to hurt me in the way you think”. He looks down at you contemplating before saying “if you need me to stop or slow down at any point please tell me. I am being so serious please promise me because I cannot bare to hurt you. I couldn’t live with myself”. You cup his face with both hands rubbing his cheeks with your thumbs looking into his eyes, “I promise I will tell you”. The reassurance is all he needs because hes suddenly pulling out and flipping you over onto your hands and knees quickly.

You feel his heavy thick cock slowly enter you and it stings this time but in the best way possible. You let out a soft whine as you bite your knuckles. He bottoms out all the way and you feel so full. He has told you about how he is during sex in his ghoul form and that he was too scared to hurt you but you were never scared about it. You actually wanted him in his ghoul form even more because that is his natural form. You know he has more self control than he thinks he does, so you trust him. You can tell by his labored breathing that he’s already holding back as he’s trying to let you adjust, so you look over your shoulder at him and say, “Mountain I need you to please fuck me before I get impatient. I promise I’ll tell you if I need you to stop”. He bites his lip growling a bit as he nods and grips on you your hips. You feel his nails dig into your skin a bit which causes you to flinch and then he starts thrusting into you. You let your head hang down as you grip the bedding and let out moans as you feel yourself being stretched. It hurts but not in a way where you need him to stop. The pain has the pleasure coursing through you and wanting more. It feels like each thrust becomes harder until all you can hear is the sounds of both of your body’s slamming against each other as he takes you hard from behind. He practically grunting and moaning the whole time, so the combination of his noises and the way he’s fucking you right now had your stomach knotting up tight.

Mountain lets himself let go as he leaned forward pushing your head down into the bed and you let out a yelp as your upper half of your body is pressed against the mattress and your ass it up In the air as he relentlessly pounds into you hard and says, “You’re such a good girl for me. You and your tight little pussy around my ghoul cock”. You have never heard I’m talk like that during sex and it causes you to moan loud and come apart as your orgasm slams into you. You’re gasping and moaning out as he continues his hard pace. You feel overstimulated so you start squirming around as tears roll down your cheeks. He pushes your head into the mattress as he grips your hair, the grip he has on your hair has you wincing but you don’t want him to stop. He leans forward and growls into your ear ,”Come on angel I know you have one more for me”. You shake your head ,”I can’t it's too much” you gasp out. He stops thrusting and says “Do you want to stop?” You shake your head quickly and he smirks as he turns you onto your back then thrusts back into you with the most carnal smirk on his face. When he’s bottomed out, he leans forward and wraps a hand around the back of your neck sitting you up, you prop yourself up on your elbows as he says “Watch as I fuck your pussy” he moans out. You look up at him and nod as you both look into each other with so much lust then he trails his eyes down to where you connect and you follow his gaze as you both watch his cock pounding into you. His tail comes around and runs along your thighs causing you to shiver, then it moves to your clit and starts stroking circles making you squirm. You didn’t think you could orgasm again but you feel your climax quickly approaching again. You moan out closing your eyes and tossing your head back as your walls tighten around his dick. He moans louder when he feels you tighten and that’s enough to send both of you over the edge as he pounds into you hard riding out both of your highs as you both cum hard. You yell out his name and he smashed his lips to yours kissing you sloppily and roughly. His hips slowly come to a stop which cause the both of you to let out soft whines at the same time before he slowly pulls out, earning another whine. You both are slick with sweat and he falls next to you in bed.

You lie in bed with him with your head on his chest as you both catch your breath. Your legs tangled together, your breast pressed against his side. Hes playing with your hair gently as he places a kiss on top of your head, “Lets get some breakfast in you and im going to clean you up after. Wait here”. You nod as he kisses your head one more time before moving out from under you. He gets out of bed pulling on some underwear and walks out of the bedroom into the kitchen. You lay there for a few seconds smiling before you sit up and grab a hair clip from the night stand and pull your messy hair back clipping it up. You lean against the headboard as you pull the blanket onto your lap a little and look outside the window seeing the rain clouds coming in. You love when it rains because you get to stay in all day with Mountain, which im sure thats what they were going to do today anyway since you only wanted to be with im for your birthday. You rented a small country side home on airbnb so you both could have some peace and quite alone so this is the perfect place for you to be stuck indoors all day.

Moments later, He comes back into the room holding a bed tray that has a vase of wildflowers. Once he set the tray down over your lap, your eyes begin to swell with tears as you smile down seeing he made you your favorite, a breakfast burrito, with a cup of orange juice, and a birthday card. You look up at him and smile, “This is perfect Mount, thank you. Where did you get the orange juice from? We didn’t have anymore.” He kisses your forehead then walks around to the other side of the bed and gets settled next to you, “I know you love orange juice and we are too far from town, so I couldn’t go get some, but while i was outside picking flowers for you, I noticed an orange tree in the backyard so i picked a few and found a juice presser in the kitchen”. You couldn't help but smile wide at him with tears in your eyes again, “You made fresh orange juice for me because you know i like orange juice and we didn't have any?”. He nods, “of course, why wouldn't I?”. You lean over and place a hand on the side of his face kissing him deeply, “Thank you Mountain, this is all so perfect. I love you”. He smiles moving the lose strand of hair out your face, “I love you”, he says back as he leans back against the headboard. You pick up your burrito taking a bite, “Are you going to eat too?” You ask him as you set your food down to take a sip of the juice. He moves closer to you and wraps an arm around you as you eat, “I wasn't too hungry this morning but i ate some cereal while i was cooking your breakfast. Im okay until lunch angel”. He kisses your temple and sits with you for a few minutes talking to you about the plans for next tour before he gets out of bed and goes into the bathroom as you finish your food.

When you finish eating, he moves the tray out of the way and scoops you up bridal style causing you to laugh as you wrap an arm around his neck. He takes you into the bathroom where he had a warm bath drawn. He sits you in the tub and you beam up at him as you watch him take off his underwear and climb in behind you. You lean into him as he is leaning back against the tub as he runs his hands on your body cleaning you with a wash cloth. You both relax against each other as you talk and listen to music he has playing. You look up at him as you say, “This has been the best birthday so far. Being here with only you. Its all I wanted” and with that, you spent the rest of your birthday tangled in each other.

What music would you believe would represent Mizrak? I was thinking his theme song would be, ✨"Unholy" by Sam Smith.✨

Because he is doing something unholy with that pretty face dragon vampire.👀👀😉

You've opened Pandora's box here. To tell you I have MULTIPLE playlists for both Mizrak and Olrox (and multiple playlists for their dynamic) is an understatement. Right now they're a mess/all over the place, but Unholy by Sam Smith is definitely on a couple of them. It's super hard for me to pick like ONE SONG, so I'm giving you multiple HAHAHAHA.

Here are a few songs I personally think fit Mizrak, categorised by general Mizrak and spicy-core Mizrak. Also, you're getting explanations for each song because I think too hard about my music choices. BTW, all thoughts are my own, I'm just being really silly since season 2 news is coming soon and I'm excited.

pspspspsps when nocturne s2 comes out make sure to watch it and give the crew the recognition they deserve coz they worked their asses off.

General:

Hell's Comin with Me - Poor Man's Posion This describes about bringing justice to those who have wronged him (and in this case others). Also, there's a line about "paying twice as much for the devil to keep your soul", which I feel like is a reference to indulgences but flipped on its head. Indulgences were an actual thing people paid for so they could secure a place in Heaven. So flipping it on its head to double it so they can be ensured they stay in hell is a very cool way of looking at it. Also, Providence, Feed the Machine and Give and Take get honorary mentions because they also fit well but this will get hella long if I also give them explanations LOL.

Foreigner's God - Hozier A song about uncertainty and isolation from the catholic church. To feel alienated by its ideas and values since Mizrak has been doubting about what Abbott is doing before the events of Nocturne take place.

Icarus & Apollo - Ripto Now this also can be a Mizrak/Olrox dynamic song, but also this can be seen as Mizrak's own self-discovery which is his conflict of the Abbott's path on 'protecting' the church and its people, versus how Mizrak personally thinks/wants to protect people. Collaborating with vampires and using night creatures, DEAD PEOPLE is not a path I think he wants but he's stuck unsure of where God is calling him to, and it's a path he has to figure out himself.

Wine and Wheat - Madds Buckley NOW, this is another Mizrak/Olrox dynamic song, but this leans more into Mizrak's POV along with the fact he's again, conflicted about his place amongst his fellow monks/Abbott since he has to conspire with vampires to keep their place against the revolution. COUPLED WITH THE FACT, he's sleeping with a vampire, it's a very confusing time for him, and all he can say in the face of it "Pray with me, pray with me for this madness to end" while he does the best he can to keep the people he cares about alive.

Father Finlee - Spencer Hood, Justin Ray Stringer I will admit a lot of this is for vibes, BUT, also this song is about a man who defies an almost impossible situation and escapes out alive, with Mizrak's perseverance, the burning passion to live, and the potential to die while trying to save others, is a very him thing.

Spicy-core:

side note from me, I feel like we moved far too quickly from this one shot LIKE WHAT THE FUCK /pos

His Hands - Blegh This is actually one of my favourites I'll be so honest HAHAHHA. (Also just the whole album of It Was a Religion by Blegh mostly fits if you think about it). This one steers more into Olrox/Mizrak dynamics because the song starts off very similar to how Mizrak and Olrox get to know each other. They 'do it again somewhere more comfortable' HAHASDJDS. But after that is all exalted from their bodies, there is something between them that they can't place and the tension is THICK. Also the gradual build of the lyrics "And you know you love him, And you might be in love with him, And you know you love him, And you're falling in love with him" IS CRAZY.

A Night to Remember - Beabadoobee, Laufey This one is super self-indulgent, this reminds me of them a lot HAHHA

Take Me Back to Eden - Sleep Token DOOMED YAOI. Not only do we have religious metaphors to describe a relationship here, is a doomed relationship.

The Summoning - Sleep Token "Did I mistake you for a sign from God?" HELLO? Like I know this is a song very much associated with Astarion, but ik this song works for Mizrak POV and Mizrak/Olrox dynamics. In my mind, I think Mizrak IS looking for a sign from God, anything that comes by his way to confirm his doubts, and Olrox just so happens to be a soft nudge that he should be doubting the system he grew up in.

Salvation - Christabelle Marbun I don't need to elaborate further if you look at the lyrics, let alone the title itself HAHHA. Also, this song is super self-indulgent, like there's no way I can't include this in a spice-core Mizrak thing.

Whisper - Burn the Ballroom Simply the lyrics "Come in, sit down, sweet angel, leave me all your tears." Biting the walls over it.

Whoops that was long but uh I have a lot more and its super hard to condense down to a few LOLOLOL, ty for the ask!

[clericofgale]

Hello hello! I just read your answer for @hotnerdywizard's ask and it's so well written, as always! /// ow how I like your writing style, so neat, each word plays the string of a precise feeling. I can literally see pictures and scenes within them <3

I also saw a tag of yours saying you don't think Gale would say fu*k in bed, which makes me curious. I would love it if you could share some lines that you think Gale would be saying between the sheets? In any occasion you see fit. I've been pondering and searching for references on the internet, but I can't quite make up my mind 🤔🤔. I mean, he is the one with courtesy and fancy words, and at the same time, the one who doesn't sugarcoat things like cum rag and bugbear's armpit. He also says he is not coy... a well-educated gentleman but also not unfamiliar with hanging out in a tavern?? I am distracted by seeing too many directions... I would truly appreciate it if you could shine some light on this lost soul having difficulties coming up with lines for her unspeakable little fantasies? <3 <3 ///

Aw thank you so much for the compliment! And sorry for the late response I've been knitting lol. I unfortunately am terrible at writing dialogue, which is why I don't write fics.🤣

Gale loves a good swear, but I don't think fuck is in his fucking vocabulary. Fuck is reserved for stubbed toes and the such where all decorum flies out the window. If the man won't say fuck while having his arm om nom nom-ed, he never really will. He usually employs religious(By Mystra's veil!) or Waterdhvian(By Algerion's lost nose!) Swears outside of the bedroom.

With all this in mind to me Gale is the type to say the nastiest stuff disguised as poetry or polite words. Or think horny Hozier-core. Remember this is a man who says he has a "practised tongue" or "I'll shut my mouth until you have use for it, of course". Would he says more conventional things if you ask for them? Absolutely. The man is a pleaser.

So after much thinking and struggling, I've managed to dredge up a few. Is it cringe? probably.

"Yours is a taste I'd gladly drown in. A taste I'd use my tongue to embrace again and again"

"Feel here, my love where we are united. *moves hand there* I can feel it, can you?"

"My treasure, my dearest I'll caress your every curve and taste your every fold. You're so good for me and I will explore it all"

And of course the less coy ones

"My jewel, light of my life please be good and come for me. I wish to feel your joy of being under me."

If you do song inspired fics could i pretty please with a cherry on top have fem MC x beautiful doctor Julian inspired by Too sweet - Hozier

Me falling head first back into the arcana fandom has happened at the same time as me rediscovering my love for Hozier and that song just gives me such Julian vibes for some reason

I hope you have a lovely weekend 💘

(PS your other Julian fic made me want to rip my own heart out and stomp on it so i applaud you)

My job, as an author, anon, is to make sure I break your heart every once in a while so I am happy to hear my job was well done lol! And now is no different! This came out kind of angsty because of my interpretation of the song, hopefully, it's somewhat what you were looking for! I do hope to hear if you liked it, my love! Also thank you for reading my story, and hope you have a lovely/fantastic weekend yourself ❤️❤️❤️

I digress, so here is your lovely story!

You believed Julian Devorak was an easy man to read. That, despite all the times he would say he was a dangerous deviant, the truth always revealed that he was a good person. Troubled? Of course, but there were few people you knew who could not say the same. Perhaps it was the rough way he lived or the stories he would tell you that made you yearn for him. Endless were the nights where you stared at the ceiling recalling moments with him that seemed too real to be written off as mere fantasies. In these moments, you would call him by another name, “Ilya.” You liked the way it danced off your tongue and how sweet it tasted. 

One day, when Asra had left for another one of his adventures, Julian had entered the shop. You were nervous and ecstatic all at the same time. The night before you had gathered the courage to finally reveal how you felt about him, and this was the opportunity that fell right into your lap. 

Closing the shop, you ushered him to the kitchen with a smile. He sat at the table, looking intently at the wood, before asking how your day was. Smiling, you said, “Very well! I have gotten so much done this morning. You’ve arrived just in time, too, I was just about to have lunch. Are you hungry?”

Julian shook his head, and you noted that he seemed a bit quiet himself. You tried to not let the silence tug at your nervousness before turning your attention to making some tea instead. You felt more at ease with your hands busy. 

Despite the busy hands, you could feel butterflies erupt in your stomach so you finally blurted out how you felt. It was a rush of words that tumbled into one long, hardly cohesive sentence. All thoughts about lunch and tea were forgotten.

“I…I like you, Julian,” You said, finally finishing. “Very much so.”

When Julian looked at you, he saw memories that he could not quite place—Back when he was a different man. A better man. These memories, if he could even call them that since fantasy and reality had become muddled over the years, were sweet. He recalled a night with your skin against his, breathing each other in as if there were only you two in the world. Every time he closed his eyes to recall it, his heart ached for the feeling again. Yet, he couldn’t seek it out. 

As much as he was in love with the evocation, he could not drag you down into this whiskey-neat life of his. It might have been nice on the tongue for a while, but, ultimately, it was the type of influence he would not put anyone else under. You were good. Too good. Your personality was like candy, sweet to the core with an even more rich innermost part. Years had passed and, along with parts of the past, he couldn’t recall the days he lived now. All Ilya knew was that his nights were late, filled with the taste of bitter liqueur, and his days spent trying to recall what or who he had done. 

So, when you stood before him, eyes filled with intoxicating sweetness, with words of love dripping from your lips he couldn’t help but feel guilty. Did he lead you on somehow? Lull you into a false sense of goodness that made him worthy of any of your affection? You were too good for him, high on the good parts of life, and he had no plans to change into that any time soon. 

“I’m…erm,” Julian tried to clear his throat to get the words out. He saw the way your face fell, and it broke his heart. “I’m sorry.”

You turned away, hands going to the teapot on the stove, voice shaky, you replied, “I…I understand.”

Julian could hear that you didn’t believe your words, so he got up to make you look at him. There were tears in your eyes and Ilya wiped them away with his thumbs. 

Trying to smile, he explained himself. “Erm, uh, how do I say this?” After another moment, Julian decided it would be best to just get out rather than try to be nice about it. “Damn it, you deserve the world, beauty, and I do not wish to burden that comfortable world of yours.”

You stepped back, eyes looking everywhere but at him. Thinning your lips, you finally looked at him. “What makes you think you would be a burden?”

“Love, look how you live, it’s comfortable. Magical, truthfully. How I live is, uh, nothing of the sort. You wouldn’t want to have such a life,” He said. 

“I would,” You were quick to say. “If it was with you, Ilya, I would.”

Ilya, the way you said his name was a candy he could get addicted to. Shaking his head in an attempt to get the thought of you out, he decided it would be best to double down on the decision—whether or not it broke your heart or his. 

Finally, when you had enough of his explanation, you refused to let him speak anymore. Somehow, he found that worse than if you had told him you didn’t have feelings for him at all. Still, he relented since it was exactly what he had asked for. It was bitter-sweet to part with you in such a way. He could continue to drown his sorrows until dawn, and you could wake at that time without a worry about him.

When the door to the shop closed behind him, Julian looked at the Vesuvian streets and decided quickly it would be a night he would drown in a pint, just as the night before.

PLEASE talk more about DurgeWyll and Hozier, PLEASE... I am rotating the songs you posted and the vision is so good

thank you for asking me :) (the doors close sealing you in the crypt)

i joke. ok first of all i need to cite ten @bladesmitten as a resident durgewyll expert and direct you to his blog... she's written some incredible fic & analysis of the durgewyll romance and made a lot of gorgeous wyll edits and art in general, can't rec his blog enough.

i have sadly never played through the durgewyll romance & only watched it so there are undoubtedly story details i am unaware of. alas i have only played the tav version of his romance so far

some spoilers for durge beneath the cut. i tried to be vague but a warning there. also i didnt stick my oar into unreal unearth or any of the adjacent eps for that album .. sorry

all that being said here are my 2 cents

i think the main draw for picking hozier songs for durgewyll is that incredibly sexy dynamic they have of being each other's foil as well as each other's love interest. both wyll and durge are bound to an inescapable doom within the story: to pay with their body and soul for the fate of baldur's gate. durge must destroy it to please their father, wyll must save it. (wyll's saved it already, at the cost of his soul, and durge has to sacrifice their soul to destroy it as (redacted), but i wont go further on that tangent lol. its fascinating though.)

i think a core concept of wyll to focus on here as well is his faith. in his act 2 dance scene, in response to one of the dialogue options, wyll replies that he 'still keeps faith in the old tales of true love'- this is crucial. wyll is the man to whom the gods gave a cold shoulder. he has no love or faith for them. but he keeps faith in the old tales- he keeps faith, specifically, in durge.. 'his greatest adventure'.. and if durge chooses to resist their father's authority, they spurn a god for wyll's sake. there's an incredible amount of mutual devotion there.

there is also the monster hunter/monster dynamic. i haven't delved into it much here bc i am more interested in how eerily wyll and durge parallel each other as twin mirrors and exiles from the gate, the light and dark sides, sharing almost a common doom, trapped in the long shadows of their fathers.... man. but the monster dynamic should absolutely be examined and explored, it's fascinating. i think it's another compelling aspect of wyll's character. he's a man with a lot of resonant contradictions. a monster hunter who refuses to hunt the monster of baldur's gate and instead severs them from the one who made them .... a monster hunter who holds out his hand to the monster he is supposed to kill... wyll's love of the mysterious and strange and his kindness, i think, predispose him to see durge as an ally and a friend. not from naivete, but from an open heart

my hozier picks for durgewyll overall:

it will come back - i love the way the view shifts in this. one of my top durgewyll picks for the way it evokes a lot of the horror & tragedy that wyll looks into and doesnt flinch away from & the hunger durge has toward wyll extending his own lonely & friendly hand

shrike - i see this as primarily from durge's view. picked for the devotion & regret

NFWMB - applies beautifully to both of them. theeeee durgewyll song to me from andy's works... consider the lyrics from both person's perspective to feel the world open beneath your feet lol

as it was - ditto, i think it encompasses both perspectives. also one of my favorite songs he wrote so im biased lmao. i think this is another very resonant choice for the durgewyll dynamic

like real people do - feels an overly obvious pick but it could work especially well for a resist durge

no plan - could be an intriguing choice. i can't quite swing it but some of the lines in this for durgewyll... i like them...

you could definitely make a case for from eden for another from durge's view. gives me a feeling of a durge who's not resisting but idk

My Personal Analysis of Aziraphale’s OFFICAL Playlist: A Journey

I have MANY opinions and interpretations of his playlist so bear with me. This playlist takes us through Aziraphale processing his feelings for Crowley in the context of his relationship with heaven and earth, and he ABSOLUTELY comes to a decision by the end of the playlist. I’ve already listened to this playlist like five times so here we go: (Crowleys May come later and I love his songs deeply but Aziraphales is the one who is really going on a journey with his music that we haven’t had a ton of insight into whereas I’m pretty sure everyone within a 100mile radius of Crowley knows he listens to Hozier and why lol)

What a Wonderful World

This song starts us off with insight into Aziraphales feelings about Earth. That makes sense, as he is the principality here and takes genuine joy in creation, the birds, music, food, and sensual pleasures. I think this was an intentional first song as it shows us Aziraphales core of love and intentions to fulfill his job as protector of earth, not just because of his duty as a principality but because it aligns with what he believes his purpose is as an Angel. The song ALSO speaks to his ability to feel love around him

“I see friends shaking hands/ saying’ how do you do? They’re really saying, I love you”

we know that Aziraphale can feel waves of love, and we also know a certain friend he has who probably gives off waves of love while having completely innocuous conversation. It’s pretty clear from the song that Aziraphale is aware of their bond being more than the words they’re saying to eachother, while also considering it just one of his reasons why this is a “wonderful world” I’d say this song is Pre-Armageddon’s during the “arrangement”

Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien

Oh boy, oh BOY this song. Translated, the main chorus is

“no I regret nothing/ not the good things that have happened/ Nor the bad, it’s all the same to me/ Because my Life, my joy/ today, it begins with you!”

I consider this a just barely post-Armageddon’t song. Aziraphale took stock of all he has to lose: his position in heaven (as tenuous as it was), his earthly comforts, possibly his life and makes a choice to save the world with Crowley for the sake of their relationship, which is a symbol for him of all that’s good in the world. After he’s made this choice and become a traitor to Heaven, he’s not sorry, he rejoices in his choice! Because choosing Crowley is choosing his moral values of protecting love on Earth, and he doesn’t regret relinquishing heaven, which doesn’t believe in that. This song is him celebrating choosing Crowley and the World

Earth Angel (Will you be Mine)

Now that Armageddon’t is out of the way, Aziraphale can actually process his feelings lol. Okay this is SUPER gay of me but because he associates Crowley with the World I think Aziraphale considers Crowley his Angel on Earth. Other than this song being a sappy af love song to Crowley, I also think it points out that although Aziraphale knows they have something more going on, he’s still hesitant to assume Crowleys feelings, and they are still not speaking openly about their connection. The song states

“I Hope And I pray/ that someday/ I’ll be the vision of your happiness”

I think this almost speaks to Aziraphale not seeing his affections as noticed or reciprocated quite yet, in my professional opinion because no one ever chose him in heaven so he can’t fathom it and has a bit of blinders on to the extent of Crowleys care for him.

Because of this I do NOT think they’re starting season 2 with openly acknowledged love. They’re still yearning hardcore

Fly Me to the Moon

More yearning post Armageddon’t lol, If I had a nickel for every time Crowley asked Aziraphale to run away with him to the stars and Aziraphale rejected him I’d have like, what, 20 cents? 25? Nevertheless Aziraphale is swept off his feet emotionally by the offers, although he’d never consider leaving Earth behind, because it’s the crux of his passion. Crowley does not understand his rejection wasn’t a RejectionTM just a notice that if they’re going to fall in love it should be in a place with tea and cakes and books, thank you very much.

“And let me see what spring is like on Jupiter and Mars/ In other words/ Hold my hand”

Feelings

Yeah oh boy, I think this is after a big fight that they’ve been alluding to in the promos for season 2. Whatever it was about, this non-breakup breakup comes with some serious emotions for Aziraphale. Whether or not this comes before or after they’ve had any progress on admitting their feelings (I gotta sick feeling that the first acknowledgement they’re something more from one of them with no good resolution or chance for reciprocation will come out DURING the fight, which will really give them both something to chew on). This song is really just a classic break up song, but don’t lose hope! This is temporary.

“Feelings, like I’ve never lost you/ and feelings like I’ll never have you/ again in my life”

Angel Eyes

Wow, okay so this is definitely the anger/jealousy but still yearning post non-breakup breakup song. This song has more than the me quote that really pulls me, the entire narrative is being jealous and wanting to warn the “new girl” not to get to entranced by a man because he’s not what he seems, while still clearly being head over heels in love yourself. A key phrase:

“Look into his Angel eyes/ you’ll think you’re in paradise/ and one day you’ll find out he wears a disguise/ don’t look too deep in those Angel eyes”

In my professional opinion this song is a secret salty ode to Crowleys beautiful eyes, however the other lyrics make me think Crowley did something Aziraphale sees as a betrayal. Did he sell out Jim, join temporary truce with some demons to do it? Is that why Aziraphales lowkey jealous? Only July 21st can tell. Either way Aziraphale is PISSED (and still in love)

Feeling Good

Oh, OH Aziraphales feeling GOOD. They’ve made up in a BIG way (I would educated guess THIS is precisely the point in season 2 where if there was a kiss, we’d GET one)

Let’s just let the song say it:

“You know how I feel”

This song also emphasizes several earthly delights, birds flying high, sun in the sky, fish in the sea, blossom on a tree. Aziraphale is FINALLY experiencing the full combination of his love for Crowley and Earth in one, and it’s GOOD baby

Also:

“And this Old World/ Is a new world/ And a bold world/ For me”

Does this imply Aziraphale initiated???? I sure hope so

I Will Follow You Into the Dark

Okay shut up shut UP I love this song and it is so them it was already on my PERSONAL ineffable husbands playlist. Just listen to the lyrics:

The chorus:

“If Heaven and hell decide/ that they both are satisfied/ illuminate the no’s on their vacancy signs/ if there’s no one beside you when your soul embarks/ then I’ll follow you into the dark”

Classic hurt/comfort fic territory. They’re finally together. All is acknowledged. Aziraphale is ready to make action and leap for Crowley. My guess? This is the big confrontation with Heaven and Hell this season, I’d say like we got A Crowley mourning Aziraphales discorporation last season, we’re in for a real doozy of a role reversal this one. I’m ready to cry, out of happiness and hurt

“She told me “son/ fear is the heart of love”/ so I never went back”

Oh, we’re getting into it now. Aziraphale sees and RENOUNCES the love he was taught in heaven, and replaces it with his own love. While he’s been gearing up for this all season, I think this is the moment he gives heaven a piece of his mind (not just Crowley in an Aziraphale suit)

“The Time for sleep is now/ but it’s nothing to cry about/ cause we’ll hold eachother soon”

Oh boy, again, I get the horrible scent of a mutually sacrificial action. I smell choosing some perceived sad and horrible (but not so horrible with eachothe) outcome, I smell my angry screams at @neil-gaiman in the climax of season 2

Spread a Little Happiness

The resolution of the perceived sad and horrible outcome. The PR team knows we’re out here psychoanalyzing this playlist, so this song is purposefully vague. It’s basically “we won’t say anything in particular but try to be optimistic” I see an unexpected MiracleTM consequence of the self sacrifice in the last song that turns the entire scene around, this is our last hurrah, the final moments of the final episode of season 2:

“Even when the darkest clouds are in the sky/ you mustn’t sigh and you mustn’t cry/ spread a little happiness as you go by/ please try”

There will be an unexpected twist, I’m hoping this means they’re saved/ restated in their bodies/ whatever bad thing just happened is undone, or maybe there isn’t and there’s a silver lining:

“I’ve got a creed for every need/ so easy that it must succeed/ I’ll set it down for you to read/ so please, take heed”

Do you sense God? I sense God. Not to say Aziraphale and Crowley are God’s favorite children, but maybe they are, maybe they are.

Finally, remember this playlist spells “INEFFABLE” something’s happening between Aziraphale and Crowley, and it’s already written out in the stars, we just haven’t seen it yet. But Aziraphale certainly is going to learn where his feelings stand with Crowley

day 6 prompt: golden

daylight softening, 

molding itself around sharp wings.

bronze feathers glistening,

throwing light.

a warm glow

reflecting love,

reaching out

weightless for a finite hour,

washing out, pulling in. 

free for now, soaring,

dancing.

love, born to shine blindly

and die before it's time,

golden.

[bodycountgame]

The way I, and i think lots of others, would devour your Hozier essay like please spare us some crumbs i beg (also Vinh my beloved......when I say that song choice has ruined me.. your mind thank you)

hahaha okay this been so hotly requested but i am incapable of coherent thoughts so please enjoy these rambling thoughts that i jotted down in the notes app while on the bus!

i feel like there is more to be said but also bus journeys are finite so i'm just doing what i can with the time i have lol. what are your thoughts??? please share with the class i Know you have opinions and i wanna hear em!

adegoke: movement

so adegoke's character playlist actually has a different hozier song on it (from eden) which i always imagined to be more from MC's perspective. 

for adegoke, i love the idea of romance like the push and pull of the ocean currents, waves meeting and breaking, a rhythm. and movement just gives me that, i guess! adegoke is also a deeply creative person and movement really gives the vibe of the lover as an inspiration, a muse, which i think would be something that he would totally relate to. as a writer, love is at the core of his work - even when it isn't the subject it is what he finds grounding. 

adegoke also loves to dance (and is an excellent dancer) so that particular expression feels so appropriate. 

arthur: angel of small death and the codeine scene 

this one is quite literal, i guess - arthur is a mean little weasel and it can be a challenge to find the sweetness in him. i think arthur defaults to an "i can make them worse" approach to romance which i think this sort of speaks to.

also his family are terrible and he often feels like a bit of a stray, i think. 

atticus: NFWMB

this one has been pulled straight from his character playlist because its just So ???????? musically it just reminds me of him but i know nothing about music so i have no idea how to articulate it - the sort of unassuming and almost casual vibe contrasted with the utter devotion in the lyrics. the emotional intensity comes from the lack of fanfare, you know?

also like. atticus loves a hair pull, sort of sexy possessive vibes and a rhetorical question so the "ain't you my baby" really hits on that level as well lmaooo 

avery: it will come back

this is another one that is already on avery's character playlist hahaha what can i say i'm a hozier bitch!

this choice is really about avery's complicated relationship with softness and intimacy, especially in a romance with MC which is Forbidden when she places such an emphasis on her professionalism. the way that she partitions different parts of her life is something of a defense for her after her difficult experiences in medicine - she's learned the hard way, she knows better, and yet she just can't help herself. i always think of avery's romance as being like a dam bursting; there's nothing for a long time until a little crack forms and then the dam breaks and everything falls apart. once she has a taste she can't be satiated, which i think this song speaks to. 

charlie - sunlight

he just can't keep away, even knowing how totally disastrous it will probably be for him, but he continues on gladly because he thinks that being that close to the sun will feel worth it even after it's burned him. he's 'death trap clad happily'. 

ellis - almost (sweet music) 

i did a deep dive into ellis' who playlist on patreon way back when and (surprise surprise) this was one of the songs that features on their playlist. this was actually one that i didn't say too much about because its just a bop, you know??? there's the lyrics about their foolish heart, but otherwise this song just screams ellis at me and i never really know why its just a warm fuzzy good vibe and that's them all over. 

florrie - take me to church 

a song thats an endictment of catholicism And fucking???? all the ingredients to make up a solid florrie song. there are a few lines that give me big florrie energy (she's the giggle at the funeral / knows everybody's disapproval / my lover's the sunlight / get something shiny) but in general i imagine florrie would fare well being worshipped, i think that's a great dynamic for her, so this is reflective of that. 

griffin - someone new 

i don't think this one really needs much explanation - griffin falls fast and hard and often. he's my romeo, and every bit as naive.

beyond that, i do think that griff is someone who doesn't believe there's a Right Way to go about things and he's quite happy to muddle through life and always seems to land on his feet - a great person to help someone really uptight unwind hahaha 

imogen - my love will never die 

of all the characters, imogen is the one who is most likely to get on her knees and beg someone to love her. 

also she loves flowers 💐 

nyra - to be alone 

this one is also pretty literal lmao i am many things but i am Not a deep thinker. she doesn't love crowds, and i think the thing that nyra would value most in a partner is having someone that she can be alone with, if that makes sense? one of those special people that you can hang out with and still have the regenerative effect of alone time. 

when we meet nyra in body count she's in the midst of a really hard time in her life - we're at a real low point for her. she doesn't really feel like a person, she feels like a zombie dragging herself from one day to the next. she needs to work through that on her own (falling in love doesn't Magically Fix People), but i think that her relationship with MC would give her a few little sparking reminders to help guide her on her way. 

rowan - jackie and wilson 

again soz this is on her character playlist hahaha! this is an absolute rowan anthem for me - she is my roman candle of the wild. i mean obviously this song is so fun and that is Very Rowan, but the "better yet, she wouldn't care" particularly speaks to me. rowan is very much someone who can meet people where they're at with grace and understanding and help to build them up. 

syd - work song 

syd was the hardest person to match a song with, weirdly, but it was the second verse that really cinched it (and I was burnin' up a fever / i didn't care much how long i lived / but i swear i thought i dreamed her / she never asked me once about the wrong i did). syd is a hard person to Date because they are a fuck up! they don't always get things right or know the right things to say or make the right gesture. that said, if someone can work through the initial challenges with them, they would be rewarded with endless devotion (albeit expressed in their own funny little way). 

vinh - in a week 

lying down and dying together in a field to be eaten by animals is peak romance to vinh lmao. in general, i think once they find Their Person it will be someone that they can feel at home and happy with regardless of the situation, and there isn't much that they wouldn't be willing to endure as long as they had that. 

[linnetagain]

Hello dear Linnetagain,

First, this is going to be a long ask, I am afraid. I was just planning to send an ask to you about The Season, but suddenly it turned into an ode to Linnetagain post. Sorry in advance🥹.

I would like to extend my most sincere thanks and gratitude towards you. You capture Astarion and Gale’s energy in the most unique and magical way. The Bloodweave fandom sets a considerably high bar when it comes to the quality of fan works, but yours hit differently. When I first read “The First Light,” it was like an epiphany. Oh man, I am still amazed by the selection of the poems and what a good match “Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night” and Hozier’s “First Light” make together. To me, that was the core of Gale’s aesthetic. Still, remembering this fanfic so fondly and embracing a character so deeply makes me question my sanity sometimes, lol.

Anyway, this series has a special place in my heart. The way you grasp Gale’s characterization amazes me. To be frank, this applies to every piece you wrote for them. I know you have many WIPs lined up next, but please do not feel pressured to update anything in haste. Your works are truly inspiring. I read “Howl’s Moving Castle,” and finally, we are at the reason why I want to send this ask.

I keep thinking about who is who in this story. I mean, in an aesthetic sense, Gale should align with Howl more, right? But Astarion’s dashing and quirky nature, his tendency to lapse into petty vanity, makes me wonder if he’s better suited for Howl. But what really consolidated my opinion was that both Astarion and Howl are cowards at heart. They tend to avoid conflicts and escape from the consequences of their actions. I don’t know if it’s wise to describe Howl as a “no-plans guy,” but their deflective attitudes are quite similar.

Thank you so much!!! You are the second person to tell me you've read Howl because of Season and that is genuinely one of the greatest compliments I think I've ever had!!

They definitely both have things in common with Howl - other than being hot and annoying ;) I can absolutely imagine Astarion being a bit of a player, as well as having a breakdown over his hair being dyed the wrong colour lol. I don't think he'd run around in a Welsh rugby jersey tho! Similarly for Gale, I can absolutely see him making a pact with Calcifer and giving up his heart for power, but I can't then see him refusing to use that power and running. I think he's far more likely to use and potentially abuse it. They do both have the traditional outline of the hero's journey to their character arc though, as does Howl!

Also thank you for still remembering First Light!! It seems like an age ago that I wrote that, I'm so glad that it lives on beyond my writing of it! I will eventually finish And All Things End, too, I promise!

[healer-pop]

Ive been trying to recruit all of the Venture lovers recently and ive made this venture playlist on Spotify called "ventures strap" and then when i got to read your smut about them using the strap i was honestly yelling thank you to heaven.

They're mostly silly or sarcastic ones on there but i genuinely feel like sloan would fuck to Weird Al Yankovic🌸

U MADE THAT!!!!!!????????? I HAVE LISTENED TO IT SO MANY TIMES U HAVE NO IDEA OMG 😭 😭 it’s such an honor lol I might or might not have been dedicatedly listening to it when I was writing that so props to you

honestly, I end up inserting them into every single song I listen to, but my favorite right now is definitely Hozier’s “Too Sweet.” especially the second verse. it’s definitely venture-core.

and then I hundred percent think that they have some sort of meme playlist that they play at the most random times whenever they are digging because you cannot tell me that doesn’t get boring. so I just picture all the Wayfinders in the excavation say digging stuff out, people are playing music quietly listening to their own thing in their own space.

—THEN HERE COMES SLOANE

BLASTING “I LOVE ROCKY ROAD.”

next thing that comes on is some sort of Minecraft parody. People are trying to fight to take the portable stereo away from Sloane but they just burrowing and running away from them.

[dwindlinghaze]

Hi, could i maybe ask for 🩰dancing princesses :)

hello and tysm for participating in my 500 celebration

☾⋆｡𖦹 °✩

🩰 : i ship you with james potter

╰┈➤ geminis and aries get along very well. you both can share endless thoughts with a never ending excitement.

╰┈➤ james is the extroverted one so of course he'll make the first move. at first you were shy and timid when he approached but it quickly went away after getting to know him more. you knew his character because he literally is an open book but there's also a few pages that he doesn't show.

╰┈➤ when you're overwhelmed, james always knows the right thing to do. growing up surrounded by loving friends, he knew how to comfort someone !

╰┈➤james loves it when you talk about your interests. it doesn't necessarily have to be something entertaining, he just loves hearing you ramble even if he doesn't understand you.

╰┈➤ you mentioned that you love hugs and what is james if his personality is not giving good hugs? random hugs will he do. on the hallway after a class, while you both are sitting comfortably on the armchair. also he'd walk you to class (even if you both didn't share the same one) and would link your arms together on the way.

╰┈➤ he is definitely shocked when you bit him, frozen, eyes big with confusion. though he laughs after and questions you about it. after some times he will get used to your habit and come to expect little bites.

╰┈➤ fights are not something that occur regularly. it rarely did. he knew you struggle to interpret your emotions- contrast to how easy you were in analysing situations, so he'll just be there and rubbing your back while you think deeply inside your head.

╰┈➤ helping james in writing his essay. he puts minimal effort when it comes to essays so you offer to help him finish it in which he was so thankful for.

╰┈➤ baking him your own delicacies often. not only does the activity calms you down but james also enjoys your food !!
