Yeah, I'm gonna tell my tale come on
Ah come on, ah, give a listen
'Cause I was born lonely down by the riverside
Learned to spin fortune wheels, and throw dice
I was just thirteen when I had to leave home
Knew I couldn't stick around, I had to roam
Ain't good looking, but you know I ain't shy
Ain't afraid to look a girl, yeah, in the eye
So if you need some lovin', and you need it right away
Take a little time out, and maybe I'll stay
But I got to ramble (ramblin' man)
Gamble (gamblin' man)
Ramble (ramblin' man)
Ramblin' (ramblin' man)
I was born a ramblin' gamblin' man
Yeah, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, ha-ha, oh bring it on, calm down
Yeah alright, here we go now, now, now
I'm out of money, 'course you know I need some
Ain't gon' run on lovin', ha I must run
Gotta keep moving, never gonna slow down
You can have your funky world, see you around
'Cause I got to ramble (ramblin' man)
Oh I got to gamble (gamblin' man)
I got to ramble (ramblin' man)
Know I'm a ramblin' gamblin' man
Oh, oh, just a rambler
Yeah, yeah, I'm just a gambler
Come on and sing along, 'cause I'm just a rambler
Ramblin' man (Lord I'm a gambler)
Gamblin' man (I'm a rambler)
Ramblin' man (yeah, I'm a rambler)
Gamblin' man (ha-ha, yeah yeah I'm a rambler)
A little bit of rambling in return for asks you say🤨
Okay okay jokes aside ummm- what are some fun little facts about your ocs that you really love or little things they do?
I'm all for info about ocs I really love so you could write literally paragraphs and I'd STILL ask for more if more could be given-
Margo-
- Margo is just so snuggly and cuddly, so she'll literally nuzzle into your arms like she wants to crawl into your skin.
- She has a smattering of freckles across her chest and belly that only intensifies in prolonged sun exposure, of course.
- Her favorite meal involves a lot of venison,,,
- She also sings very well and often sings to her unborn pups
Brandywine-
-Brandy always wanted to be a parent, but never really put much toward making that a reality. Enjoys the "curse" much more than they thought they would.
- They do the little tappy taps with their front hooves when they're super excited. Their tail also wags.
- They have a great of open water. Will not get this poor thing on a ship. Or in the air. They hate flying.
- They're secretly afraid Darby doesn't love them the way they want her to. (Don't worry, Darby does)
Rathemir -
-He loves having the scales on his flanks scratched. If you scratch those, he purrs like an overgrown cat and will shove his belly into your lap for more scritches.
- Rathe is secretly a big ol sap, despite being a murderer. He was just desperate to be an elf. He's easily soothed by gentle words and touches. Also secretly sweet as hell.
- Actually about 7'4 ft tall and highly muscular, even if there's a thick layer of padding over that. His belly overtakes his frame though.
- If he really really likes you, he'll wrap his tail about you and he won't let go.
- He can sing but dragons don't sing for just anyone.
- Loves human food so much. Unsurprisingly.
- had a change of heart when he tried to kill his friend but she struck a stake left from a trap, and bled out anyways despite Rathemir trying to help her. He still performed the blood magic. He still sucks.
- The dragonling is the reincarnated soul of the friend he murdered. She will begin anew and Rathemir will be her father. So he has to live with what he did literally. It's his chance to give back instead of take.
Mauthiia-
- Tried for years to conceive a child with her husband, Naethril, but was unable to. Naethril, frustrated and upset, left her to go on a pilgrimage. Mauthiia refused to wait for him and went out on one of her own, to seem out Avhena, goddess of fertility.
-Was a rail thin little thing before Elwin got hold of her 🤎 Absolutely loved indulging
- Absolutely falls in love with Elwin And Rathemir both.
- Is pregnant with triplets and will be for 2 years. She will only grow.
-Will hold Rathemir's head in her lap as best she can to stroke his hair and sing him to sleep. It's a very touching scene. A cruel beast at the hands of an elvish lady 🧡🤎
The Bob Segar System “Ramblin’ Gamblin’ Man” 1969—Ultimate Hits: Rock and Roll Never Forgets, November 21, 2011.
*Apparently the line “‘Cause you're a rambler and a gambler—and a sweet talkin' ladies man” was inspired by Eagles frontman Glenn Frey, who plays guitar and provides background vocals on this track.
Welcome to 1965, where the women are loose, and the morals are looser.
Here you'll meet Michelle and Harry. You don't need to know too much about them. Just that they're both incredibly bold...and incredibly jealous.
You just have to promise one little thing...
Don't tell Hefner.
*Contains Mature and Explicit content, so please only consume what you feel comfortable with!💞 You are so much more important!*
~ I Get Around* (Pt. 1)
Harry's cum is dripping down Michelle's thigh.
So what's he gonna do about it?
~ Can't Take My Eyes Off You* (Pt. 2)
Harry and Michelle are victims of yet another Hugh Hefner Extravaganza. Her goal? To drive Harry into the arms of jealousy. Harry's goal? To fuck her until she forgets what her goal was.
~ Devil in Disguise* (Pt. 3)
Nothing beats a hot summer day like getting wet.
Or getting off.
~ Tired of Waiting for You* (Pt. 4)
Sharing is caring...right? It's Pig Night at the Playboy Mansion and Harry has one very important thing to prove:
That he can play nice.
~ Ramblin' Gamblin' Man* (Pt. 5)
Harry and Michelle have a bit of making up to do.
But can they put their egos aside to do it?
~ (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction* (Pt. 6)
Michelle has never seen Harry in his domspace.
Harry has never seen Michelle in her subspace.
But that changes today.
~ Gimme Some Lovin'* (Pt. 7)
It's Michelle's turn to learn how to share and Harry's never been happier. He's got an angel in his mouth and a devil on his cock.
What could be better?
~ Catch Us If You Can* (Pt. 8)
Hugh Hefner is hosting one of his biggest parties of the year.
But Harry and Michelle have found a way to have their own fun.
I love your headcanons! I'd like to ask if you do one for Celestia too?
Sexuality Headcanon: pansexual, but she doesn't really know it in most timelines, and definitely leans towards Handsome Men. ("handsome" doesn't necessarily mean "masculine" by the way! i see her as the type who'd be fine with very Feminine butlers, too.) nonetheless, the way she talks about Sakura, Kirumi etc in Summer Camp tells me all i need to know - she's got some Gay Thoughts she hasn't figured out yet.
Gender Headcanon: i LOVE her as both cis (lady) or trans (lady), though she's fairly heavily Binary to me in that regard - i don't see her doing much intense androgynous genderfuckery (which is too bad, as a genderfucked person myself, but alas). lots of Great Content from the fans in both directions
A ship I have with said character: my favorites with Celeste are probably Celestia x Kyoko (has like two seconds of Possible Evidence in the anime) and Celestia x Chihiro (no evidence, just cute as hell)
A BROTP I have with said character: Celeste gets so many great almost-friendships in Summer Camp, like with Kotoko and Tsumugi, that i enjoy. i see her as a very Lonely Figure that would perhaps soften a little if she had some Buds. i also like her friendship with Hifumi since it seems mutually beneficial, as weird as it is to us Outsiders
A NOTP I have with said character: as stated above, i prefer Hifumi and her as friends! otherwise i don't think i have a ship for her that i absolutely despise
A random headcanon: i've mentioned this before, but i don't think she's ever Excluded from HPA's social gatherings. i think she's always invited because, despite How She Is, she's still a classmate. she just declines every time, or lurks in the corner Antisocially but Majestically. if she wasn't invited, she'd burn the whole place down. you gotta invite the Ludenberg. it's tradition at this point
General Opinion over said character: 10/10 baby she was born a ramblin' gamblin' man stan

Another batch of song requests. Once again CR Bois and y/name reader head cannons
Bob Seger is always a good choice
Listened to these (great) songs, and these are for…..Dorian
he swears he wasn’t going to fall for you but Dorian couldn’t help but be played as the fool when he feels himself blush more around you, spend more time with you in the party, and looks for constant excuses to talk with you
Despite all the flowery bard words and “fluffing the truth”, you see right through it and still try to reassure him daily that he doesn’t have to put a performance just to be close to you.
the moment you two are forced to separate, as he is called home, the acceptance in your tear-stained eyes breaks his heart as he refuses to accept he won’t see you again. He doesn’t realize he’s crying until you brush his cheek.
He saw someone dancing once, and they looked like you from the back. For a minute Dorian wanted to walk to them just to see if it was you, until he felt his heart sink when they turned around.

TASTING NOTES
I was kind of prepared. Lots of new records. New old records, too: a wealth of vintage mid-70s funk and disco 12” records came into my possession. But, none of those made it into the crate; I had plenty of other acquisitions to integrate into the flow. I am constantly on the search for the familiar unexpected, and the unfamiliar unexpected, without falling prey to the obvious. And I did what I set out to do. Some of the best segues I have ever done happened tonight... often followed up with the most ham-handed and poor transitions in the history of Third Space Saturday. I’m just happy DJ IGA was not there to witness it, and scowl at my transgressions!
It probably didn’t sound like anything in the house, but your audience or listeners aren’t concerned with the details or technicalities. They want to play Centipede, or get nice with someone.
Cyberjewel gave herself the night off, which probably lent itself to me getting stuck in the elevator, and getting to the booth at 2058, for a start time of 2100 hrs. I wanted to get there early to set up, because there was a live event the night before. Luckily, except for the house sound, things were largely in order. I struggled with volume in the house, problems that weren’t solved until Jules showed up unexpectedly halfway through. Within 5 minutes, the PA was set properly, and I had an Athletic NA in a glass.
Will was in the house, stationed at the print shop bar. It was great to play for the man who is piloting the spaceship. “She’s Crafty” was played for him. He was excited to get to “hear a Mossback set.” He set up my backgrounds on the TVs you can see on the video and busied himself breaking down the stage setup in the performance area. He works hard. I’m so happy I get to contribute to this thing he made happen. And I will stay as long as they want me.
The crowds, as usual, were several waves of different people rolling through. At first there were normals. And that’s when the two “request” inquiries happened. Lately I’ve been engaging with people to help read the room, without actually playing what they request. Tonight, I was just trying to get situated. So, I politely declined. But the third person that came up asked about the Shannon track that I opened with, so I was pumped for that! I loved seeing the early 20s kids dancing around to “Maneater” by Hall & Oates, too. The kids are alright. The ones that come through the bar during my sets are game for anything. Well, not the guy who came up and asked for Drake. No bueno.
I worry that my approach to things is too laid back, like part of the atmosphere. Perhaps my lack of self promotion, and my “let the music be the program” attitude, doesn’t lend itself to making Mossback sets an “event.” Maybe I need to get on the mike and relentlessly exhort people to wave their hands in the air, and relentlessly name check “MOSSSSS-BAAAAAACK!” ad nauseum. I am going to get some coasters made, maybe that will help.
There were some slack periods, unusual for a Saturday night. It made set construction challenging. The energy from the people in the bar contributes to your set in subtle ways, and it was challenging to play without it. But I found my footing, and learned to play without it. I made choices I might not have made with a crowd there.
The Shannon track I started with was from an LP, but it was a 12” dance mix. It’s a “dance”-oriented compilation from Atlantic Records that also has INXS (which I played) and Phil Collins (which I didn’t play but may in the future). “Sususudio” kicks! The comp is set up in a good way, three songs per side. It almost feels like cheating, but there is a lot of useful stuff on there and it doesn’t take up a ton of space in the crate. And the three-songs-per-side format sounds good, lots of low end. For what I’m doing, it works out fine.
Compilations can be too loaded with material to be useful in this setting, too many songs crammed onto a side, bad remastering, no thump or presence. So I’m sparing in my use of them. But I carry several around with me just for fun, like Soul Jazz comps and the Trojan Records Toots and the Maytals collection.
Will loved the Jimmy Spicer track I played from the Ace Records subsidiary BGP collection chronicling the first decade of hip-hop called “Dollar Bill Y’All.” It consists of records released by the Spring label, which was run by an industry lifer Bill Curtis, who was also a member of the band Fatback. Dude heard the potential in the hip-hop sound early, and the Spring offshoot Posse had early work from Ice-T, Afrika Islam, Marley Marl and artists promoted by Russell Simmons, like Jimmy Spicer. I followed that up with a Sugar Hill Records group, The Sequence. I like the old hip-hop sound. It still sounds good in the club. Will also dug the Herb Alpert “Rise” mix I have. It was so much fun to see him and the crew dancing around to it.
I ended right at 0100 hours. Funny how that worked out. I just didn’t feel like going any longer. Maybe I got too much rest that day. I usually like to go until close, just because I like it there, but tonight it wasn’t right, so I bugged out and got home at a decent hour.
Next Third Space is 21 October, 2023. 9PM to 1AM, unless I get inspired to stay.
