Accidental Fanart (the reveal)

First of all: Thank you to all of the kind people who answered my first post regarding if I am even allowed to post this picture. I got pretty sick about two weeks ago and had a pretty high fever but was unable to sleep so I occupied myself with scrolling through tumblr and doodling on my ipad. Turns out feverish!me is better at art than normal!me and accidentally created the best artwork i've ever drawn by redrawing another artists design in my own style in a post I cooked up in my brain (literally)! xD

Disclaimer: Again, the designs are not mine but instead the masterworks of @neal-illustrator which I drew in my own style. Thank you so much for sharing your amazing art with us, I hope it is okay that I am sharing this here and if you would like me to take it down, please notify me and I will do so immediately. :D 🩵

I really hope you especially like my artwork and don't take any offense in it, I just really wanted to share this as well as my admiration for your amazing talent and creativity! :D 🩵🩵🩵

I'm currently designing my own design for those three who have been living in my head rent free for months now so please stay tuned for that as well. :3 And if anyone is interested, i will soon-ish get done with my fanart for Voice of an Angel, so if you like that fic, know that im working on something there. : ) 🩵

Im so glad i bought the bonus features for these shows. There are so many neat smaller moments you don’t get to see in the proshot. For instance:

Ow- oh wait im into it

*Awkwardly drags jeff offstage*

“I will never be in a fucking musical.”

Sometimes i forget the members of Sleep Token are professional musicians. With their level of weird (positive) and unseriouness and shenanigans and just having fun on stage i have to remind myself that this is their actual job. Like they make a living out of being creatures and I really admire that

I know I'm late to the whole miku around the world trend but have trad goth Brit miku.

[dumbcrustyassbitch]

remembering that time when i watched mean girls 2024 once every day for 20 days straight

my honest reaction

[theriverbeyond]

i feel like Arcane is a 2 season show that ostensibly was always supposed to be a 2 season show, but somehow walked itself right into the "The Sequel Problem" just by virtue of season 1 being too fucking good. like s1 was THE perfect story imo, the plot was tight enough for good developments and resolutions, and left things open enough for fan exploration while ending in a place where u could easily imagine that this is The End Of The Begining, with all the characters eventually connecting to League of Legends canon. and then they make season 2 which comes out and is like.... a clipshow art showcase yuricocaine binge, which is fine if you're into that I guess, like don't get me wrong this is a technical and artistic banquet, but as a known Hater and Narrative Appreciator I can't help but sit here and be like: I know they "originally planned" this to be 2 seasons, but we are having The Sequel Problem. this just didn't need to exist.

Anybody wanna fuck around and start a punk rock band, singing songs about how fucked up the government is, and how conspiracy theorists muddy the waters spread propaganda that aids the government in doing said fucked up things, all to a funky bass and a crunchy guitar…

Anybody?

[zan-the-second]

Brainrot so bad I'm making a Taylor Swift playlist AND I'm making up song titles for the cover

Made in here

Ramblings about the songs and what I think they sound like below the cut :P

Most of the titles are straight from the movie and book, the others are my own personal naming convention for certain themes and scenes.

As for the tracklist it mostly follows the plot of the movie and book in Aldo's pov. Each song loosely based on a Bellini scene.

Sound-wise I thinks it's like if Midnights and TTPD had a baby with a sprinkle of folkmore. I just think Aldo's got that Midnights vibe in him.

NOW FOR THE SONGS(yes there are 13 of them ;))

Track 1-Secrets Of The State

Loosely inspired by State of Grace

Just Aldo's musings about his tenure as Secretary of State and also being one of if not the closest to the late Holy Father

Lowkey Lucky One and Nothing New coded

Sound-wise it's like if Lavender Haze and I Can Do It With A Broken Heart had a baby

chess metaphors(of course) with Aldo feeling like a pawn in his mentor's game

Lord, what would become of me when I've lost my novelty?

Track 2-Loved More Than Anyone

First of all, I need to preface that I'm INSANE about this line WHY DID THEY CUT IT

Heavily Maroon-inspired(which is funny bc it's also the track 2 of Midnights)

that's a real fucking legacy to leave vs that's a real fucking legacy, to leave HAUNTS ME AND IS SO ALDO WITH THE PREVIOUS POPE

Those two make me insane THOMAS WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE LOVED HIM MORE THAN ANYONE

very my tears ricochet core with the mentor-mentee relationship

what am I supposed to do when there's no you?

Imagine you loved someone so much and believed in their ideas and now they're gone and you don't know where to put this love

no other notes other than imagine Maroon but about this gay cardinal

Track 3-No Sane Man

Lowkey his I Can Do It With A Broken Heart

him just going 'bro why do you all WANT this???'

His Anti-Hero really

Basically just his auditorium speech in the movie of being like these are the things I stand for and I will not change them take it or leave it

But with an undercurrent of WHY IS IT NOT ENOUGH WHY CAN'T I BE ENOUGH

I stare directly at the sun but never in the mirror

I can go anywhere I want just not home

Track 4-Know In My Heart

This is his marjorie

Him asking for advice from either God or the Previous Pope

Production style similar to The Archer

Just the mounting dread and anxiety

In a way also very Dear Reader

never take advice from someone whose falling apart

my fourth drink in my hand, these desperate prayers of a cursed man

Him grappling with his ambitions and dreams all the while knowing he isn't brave enough to pursue it so he just pretends he doesn't want it

Lowkey a denial song imagine him going 'I swear I don't want this thing I swear' then it's just him telling how wonderful must it be to have this thing(Is this about Lawrence or the Papacy?👀)

Track 5-Precious Doubts

NOW FOR THE DIVORCE

Some TayLore for those unfamiliar: Track 5s are her most vulnerable/personal songs

A lot of her heartbreak songs are Track 5s think All Too Well, Dear John, and So Long London

This is THE So Long London of the album

If tolerate it was in Midnights

Highkey very loml coded

This is the song that dives into his relationship with Lawrence and the trust and grief and heartbreak and doubts they both carry

HE WAS SUNSHINE I WAS MIDNIGHT RAIN

he wanted it comfortable I wanted that PAIN he wanted a bride I WAS MAKING MY OWN NAME CHASING THAT FAME

Track 6-It Is War

The Great War but without the reconciliation at the end

lowkey You're Losing Me

I'm fading thinking do something, babe, say something, lose something, babe, risk something, choose something, babe, I got nothing to believe

somewhere in the haze got the sense I've been betrayed

Him just BEGGING Lawrence to pick a side. Either support him or break his heart just be DONE with this

Track 7-Search Your Heart

Very Question...? inspired

I Wish You Would coded

Regret and all the feelings that come with it

A more subdued version of It Is War still bitter but less angry

Lowkey him wishing Lawrence would apologize LMAO

How You Get The Girl and The Other Side Of The Door core

doesn't everything feel like second best after that meteor strike?

Track 8-Breaking Of A Seal

MY BOY ONLY BREAKS HIS FAVORITE TOYS!!!!

HE WAS MY BESTFRIEND AND THAT WAS THE WORST PART

Just the metaphor of breaking things. Trust between him and Lawrence being broken when Lawrence broke Vatican law and when he refused to continue his candidacy.

I can kinda hear sounding like Down Bad

just the eraticness and otherworldly sound

first verse is very subdued and quiet but then the seal cracks before the chorus and the production shifts into a heavier synth

once I fix me he's gonna miss me

Track 9-Burn Them

High Infidelity coded

I bent the truth too far tonight I was dancing around it

Do you really wanna know where I was April 29th? Implying he took Tremblay's offer

His entire convo with Lawrence about the simony papers

Conflicting feelings of knowing what he's doing is wrong BUT also being so fucking tired and cannot deal with the alternative

Track 10-Pope John

Ngl this is only here because of Dear John

Afterglow coded

tell me that you're still mine tell me that we'll be just fine

Apology WITH tears

is it cool that I said all that? Is it chill that you're in my head?

Similar to ivy production-wise ESPECIALLY the bridge

Track 11-Firm Hand Of Yours

Quite possibly the horniest song in the album

Think So It Goes..., Guilty as Sin?, and I Can See You vibes

If that Eras Tour Dress x Afterglow mashup was a singular song

LOWKEY I Can Fix Him(No Really I Can) because I find it funny

you're good Lord doesn't need to lift a finger I can fix him no really I can

now you hang from my lips like the gardens of Babylon

Production is very if reputation and TTPD had a baby

Track 12-Moth Of Holiness

Lawrellini's Labyrinth or Sweet Nothing production and lyric-wise

everyone's up to something I find myself running home to your sweet nothings

lowkey invisible string with how they'll always return to one another

I drive down different roads but they all lead back to you

cowboy like me coded too

I got some tricks up my sleeve takes one to know one

Track 13-Checkmate

Basically Mastermind sound-wise

more chess metaphors(coming full circle from Secrets of the State)

Very Clara Bow lyrically especially with the ending kinda comparing Vincent to the previous Pope

you're the new god worth worshipping promise to be dazzling

YOU GOT EDGE SHE NEVER DID

THE CROWN IS STAINED BUT YOU'RE THE REAL QUEEN
