#someday when my dreams come true. : MUSING.

[ homemade gift ] for my muse to make your muse a gift // NO BC STEPH REALLY WROTE LOVE LETTERS LIKE \! dino x steph

it was safe to say dongyoung had never been so nervous. yes, not even on his debut day, the first showcase of his group, or even in the first show of their tour which more than one thousand people attended. then he had a compromise with these people: the fans, his bandmates that became his family, the staff that helped them get where they were and just making it happen itself was already a dream come true so making it really was exciting, fun, and his life purpose. now this moment of his life was destiny. every decision and every circumstance he took led to this. one of the most important, if not the most, of his life: his wedding day.

how he could let his nerves get the best of him wasn't clear, just this morning he was calm and collected like he had always been but it all became too real way too soon. however actual and incredible this day was about to be it didn't come close to the extraordinary realization of knowing he was marrying the love of his life. it was too grand for him to bare it alone, thankfully he wasn't. not only was he surrounded by friends and family but he had just gotten proof that he never once was, in fact, he was about to never be again.

since the very first day, somewhere between a few years or what it felt like just yesterday. he was so glad he wasn't even looking, it only took a look though for him to know he was in love and he only knew of what it meant to fall when he met her. for her his world started spinning for the first time, set in the stars to do when she came. more than where their story began was the one that was about to be written; the one they were gonna cherish forever, the very same they were gonna repeat to their own children someday. he already knew how it would start, right here in their separate rooms getting ready for their big moment, waiting to set in matrimony their destinated days together. happily ever after moments away.

except this was not after yet, it was still now, and right now at the beginning of their journey was dongyoung holding a carefully written letter from stephanie. he could not deny the little silent tears that formed in his eyes when his soon-to-be brother-in-law handed him the letter like they were sharing a family secret, crossing his eyes in an understanding sentiment. he had shared something more precious than that though now that dino came to think of it. holding the letter in his hands, sitting on the far side of the couch, left in his privacy by his friends and family, wearing his perfectly tailored tuxedo like quite nothing he ever wore before thinking over and over again how much he couldn't wait to marry the woman who wrote this.

he read it at least three times to actually understand the meaning of every word and still did not get a single thing properly. he wanted so desperately to embrace that piece of paper with stephanie's thoughts in it, kiss it, but it still wouldn't compare to doing all these things with her. surprisingly there were no more tears in his eyes, only a big beautiful smile. dongyoung gathered himself with a sign of newfound courage, the courage of a man who knew his woman loved him just as much as he did her. saved the letter on the inside pocket of his jacket close to his heart and head of the door. "excuse me, i don't mean to disturb things but i have to see my bride before our wedding." he wanted to be with her, he wanted to see her, hold her hand and kiss her delicate fingers. he wanted to respond to her in a hug, in a kiss, in a sharing devoted gaze. "it won't take long, five minutes." he told them, waiting for someone to arrange something, anything. before forever could begin, he needed the now and now he had to have her here.

Class of Heroes AU: A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes

I come to you today with the first in a series of song shorts! In this one, we have our girl CinderZoé singing to her animal friends about the magic of dreams! Enjoy, and coming up next, we’ve got a special treat for @artzychic27, featuring the princes of Arendelle, Marc and Kiran! As always, credit to them and @imsparky2002!

Sunlight filtered in through the shabby curtains that covered the sole window in the attic of a grand and pristine manor. The rays hit the eyes of a girl, positively lovely, who slept on an old mattress on the attic’s floor. The girl’s name was Zoé, and as she woke up and stretched, she turned with a bright smile to the mice and birds that had gathered at the foot of her bed.

“Good morning, my little friends! How is everyone today?”, she asked the critters, giggling at the flurry of squeaks and chirps she received in answer.

“Well, that’s good to hear! I just had the most wonderful dream last night!”, Zoé told her darling companions as she rose gracefully from her bed. A young robin flittered over and landed on her finger, giving a questioning tweet.

“What kind of a dream?”, the teen mused, “Well, it was the kind of dream, where I’m free! Far away from here, living my own life.”, she said wistfully, “And of course, you’re all there too!”, she laughed softly, giving the bird an affectionate tap on the beak.

A few of her mouse friends skittered up to her, placing their small paws on her ankles in a show of sympathy. Zoé gave them a kind smile.

“Don’t worry, my little ones. I know it’ll happen one day! Like Nino always says, if you believe in your dreams, they’re sure to come true!”, she assured them, smiling brighter as she thought of her Fairy Godbrother. With that, she began to hum a gentle melody as she prepared for the day. Before long, the humming became words.

A dream is a wish your heart makes

The gathering of small animals watched as Zoé twirled blithely across the room, towards the small closet where what little clothes and belongings she had were stored.

When you're fast asleep

In a matter of moments, Zoé had gotten dressed for the day in her typical work clothes. Even in a ratty old apron and dusty brown cargo pants, her beauty could not be denied.

In dreams you will lose your heartaches

The girl smiled at Mullo, one of her dearest friends amongst the mice, as he brought her favorite sky blue hair scarf. With a flourish, she used it to tie her blonde locks back, before gently picking Mullo up in her hands.

Whatever you wish for, you keep

As the sun was still just coming up, Zoé took a moment to sweep and dust up her living space, continuing to sing cheerily as she did so.

Have faith in your dreams and someday

Your rainbow will come smiling through

With her morning routine done, Zoé moved to stand by her window, resting her hands on the sill as she watched the clouds drifting by in the sky, closing her eyes in content as she breathed in the fresh air.

No matter how your heart is grieving

If you keep on believing

With a soft hum, Zoé pulled her faded curtains shut, turning as she heard tiny pittering footsteps across the wooden windowsill towards her.

The dream that you wish will come true

Zoé smiled as she stroked under Mullo’s small chin, the little mouse nuzzling against her finger.

“ZOÉ!”, a shrill female voice suddenly cut through the air, “If my tea isn’t ready in the next ten minutes..!”

Zoé sighed heavily as her animal companions looked annoyed at the interruption.

“Just a moment, Chloé!”, she called wearily. Duty called, and she left her room to begin the day’s chores.

— — —

Several hours later, Zoé walked back through the door to her modest quarters, looking quite disheveled. Her work for the day was finally done, and she was exhausted. Seeing her little companions waiting for her with bright smiles, she felt her own lips curling upward, as she untied the blue scarf and let her hair fall loose. As she set about conducting her bedtime routine, she felt herself begin to hum again.

No matter how your heart is grieving

Picking up a picture of herself and her oldest friend, his wings shimmering even on the faded photographic paper, she felt herself begin to hope once more.

If you keep on believing

Setting the photo down, the blonde girl sat herself in her old, rickety rocking chair at the window sill, resting her chin on her hand as she watched some of her bird friends twirling through the evening air without a care in the world.

The dream that you wish will come true…

‘Someday, I’ll be free…’, Zoe thought to herself with a sigh. Little did she know, that day would come sooner than she thought. Because in the family’s mailbox that very next morning, sat two letters from the prestigious Francois Preparatory Academy…

And there it was folks! LMK what you think in comments and reblogs! I have more songs planned, but let me know if there’s one you wanna see!

[lavoixhumaine]

I love the lightness in your laughter and the sparkle in your eyes / It doesn't matter if it rains or shines 'cause I'll be by your side

You're the fire I admire and you'll always be my muse / There's nowhere else I'd rather be than here with you

It was all a blur, then there we were at the altar / You were mine and all my dreams were coming true

You know I meant it when I took your hand in mine and said, "I do" / There's nowhere else I'd rather be than here with you

But how the time does fly and years go by, it's crazy / We both got sick and hurt and sad a time or two

But how I love you more and more and after all that we've been through / There's nowhere else I'd rather be than here with you

I'm not one to worry much about the future / But because you're mine I got everything to lose / So I'll say it now before we're at the door that someday we'll walk through

And if I'm the only one left in the room / There's nowhere else I'll rather be than home with you

I love the springtime in your spirit and the sparkle in your eyes / It doesn't matter if it rains or shines 'cause I'll be by your side

I can say it, you're my favorite and you'll always be my muse / And I hope that in your heart, you know it's true / There's nowhere else I'd rather be than here with you

( owl city, my muse )

it’s too perfect that a minnesota boy wrote this song

[angst-fairygodmother]

can you make jaskier sad pls can you torture that bard fuckboy

A/N: I can, I have, and I shall again. I assume this was a fic prompt, but if not, congratulations on your Free Upgrade!

Jaskier’s only true talent in life was luck: luck to be born the son of a noble, to have money and no responsibilities, which let him explore his art; luck to be assigned great mentors at Oxenfurt; luck to be chosen over Valdo Marx to perform at a royal function; luck to get kicked out of that same function and chased off, only to end up in Posada, a new and incredible muse practically hurling itself at him like so much stale bread. It was certainly luck over skill that let him survive tagging along behind Geralt. Luck had brought him fame (and infamy), fans, and most importantly, you. 

But all swords have two edges, or so he had always heard. Geralt abandoned him on a mountaintop. Without the Witcher, his fans vanished in droves and he was left pinching for pennies (long since cut off by the parents who wanted him to come home and be a proper viscount). His songs picked up a bit as he wrote from bitter pain, but only enough to get him work in small inns, and invitations to co-teach a class or two. 

And now…now luck had truly turned against him. 

“Jaskier,” you sighed, hand reaching up to caress his cheek briefly, fingers trembling. “Please, my…friend. Your face isn’t one made for tears. And you knew this would happen someday…”

“No I did not!” he insisted, stepping away, your touch feeling like it burned him. “I thought…” his voice caught and he wondered what he had thought. 

That you would wait for him? That your love was stronger than any time or distance or practicality? That he would always be able to cash in on Geralt’s exploits and eventually make enough money to properly court you?

“I love you…” the words sounded pathetic to his own ears, almost a question, and he regretted them instantly when you flinched. 

“I…can’t Jaskier. I’m getting married.”

“So? I have had married lovers before. We don’t have to give us up just because you’re obligated to–”

“It’s not obligation. He is a good man, from a good family. And I care for him.”

“You care for him?”

“I do.”

“You love him?”

“I will come to.” You tried to turn away from Jaskier, but he caught you by the shoulder to keep you facing him.

“Will you?”

“I must. And I will not betray his kindness, or his trust.” 

“What are you saying?”

“Must I make it plainer?” he could hear the way your heart cracked, and felt his own groan under the strain.

“Please, don’t do this. We can run away together. I have some money, and a post at Oxenfurt. We can be together.”

“No. We can’t. It is a lovely dream. But it’s time to wake up, Julian.” 

The use of his given name was the nail in his coffin. He stepped back as if struck, turned and ran. 

Luck was his only true talent in life, but even true talent can fade.

[rosenallies]

Thank you so much for that preachers son au! I loved it so much! They are so cute with little baby Alejandro! (And Nali nesting fits him so well). Could i suggest a future prompt with Rosé bonding with the baby? We have mostly seen Nali being paternal up until now, but it would be so adorable to see Rosé in that caring, loving role.

I’m glad u liked the last one, I feel like we’ve been talking about them having a baby for forever and I never actually wrote anything with them having a baby until recently but anyway I’m Using writing sweet things about good parents to distract myself from my own parents and how sad I am all the time <333 😌👍🫶🏻😁 so Ty <3

——-

“Who’s turn is it?” Denali groaned, pressing his face into the pillow as Alejandro wailed on the baby monitor, the thing blinking red in their faces.

“I don’t even know, I’ve got it though, you go back to sleep, baby,” Rosé mumbled, patting Denali’s bare shoulder before pulling himself from bed and padding barefoot down the hallway, the wailing growing louder the closer he got, nearly ear splitting when he walked in.

“Okay, sweetheart, papa’s here,” he cooed, picking up the infant and coddling him against his chest, “it’s okay. Are you hungry? Let’s go try a bottle.”

He continued gently hushing Alejandro as he carried him down the hallway to the kitchen where he quickly fixed him a bottle, testing it on his hand to make sure it wasn’t too warm.

Settling in one of the kitchen chairs, Rosé held the bottle while Alejandro suckled contently, his eyes fluttering shut. Rosé studied his features up close, they’d used Denali’s DNA but found a surrogate that resembled him so he was as close to a mix of the both of them as possible. He’d gotten Denali’s big brown eyes and his sweet little dimples, but the baby’s nose and mouth resembled his own. From the very moment Rosé laid eyes on him, when he was just a scan of a little blob in someone’s belly, he loved him fiercely, vowing to protect him and love him no matter what. He knew that Denali was a natural at taking care of babies, it was his job after all, but as soon as Rosé held their baby after he was born, he became a natural too.

“Are you all done? Good job, baby,” he whispered soothingly when Alejandro detached from the bottle and yawned, raising his chubby little fists while he stretched, “let’s get you back to bed, huh?”

The baby, now fed and content, snuggled against his papa’s chest, little hands fisting in his t-shirt as he was carried back to his nursery.

Although he was already nearly asleep, Rosé opted to rock him some more, singing gently under his breath.

“Somewhere over the rainbow

Way up high

There's a land that I heard of

Once in a lullaby

Somewhere over the rainbow

Skies are blue

And the dreams that you dare to dream

Really do come true

Someday I'll wish upon a star

And wake up where the clouds are far behind me

Where troubles melt like lemon drops

Away above the chimney tops

That's where you'll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow

Bluebirds fly

Birds fly over the rainbow

Why then, oh, why can't I?

Somewhere over the rainbow

Bluebirds fly

Birds fly over the rainbow

Why then, oh, why can't I?

If happy little bluebirds fly

Beyond the rainbow

Why, oh why can't I?”

By the time he finished, Alejandro was sleeping peacefully against his chest. Rosé pressed a kiss to his forehead and set him down, turning on his mobile before leaving him to sleep, pausing at the doorway. He let out a breath, feeling warmth spread through him.

“I heard you on the monitor,” Denali muttered as Rosé climbed back into bed, “you’ve sang that to me before.”

Rosé smiled to himself, running his hand through Denali’s sleep mused hair. “My mom and dad used to sing it to my siblings and I when we had bad dreams or whenever we were upset.”

Denali snuggled close to him, kissing his clavicle. “You’re the best father and husband, you know that?”

“It’s the least I can do when I have the most amazing husband and son. Get some sleep though, baby, it’s your turn to get up with him next.”

Giggling, Denali settled against his chest. “I love you.”

“I love you too,” he replied, kissing the top of Denali’s head as they both let sleep pull them back under.

🌟 - A Different Family Member (Yuuto and Toru)

Meet the People in My Muse’s Life

Yuuto

“Hmm… Yuuto is my big brother. But I have known him for only a few years. He was actually kidnapped before I was born but when he learned the dream walking much later he accidentally pulled me into his dream space… That’s kind of a long story but we met as foxes and I couldn’t talk, so I only figured out our true connection after… after Ruki had sucked some of my blood and the blood magic that had sealed my kitsune side started to break. So… yeah… a long and complicated story, I guess, hehe.”

“Anyway… Yuuto is… Umh… A bit overprotective, I think. And he doesn’t like vampires at all. I get that but… Haa… I do hope that someday he can completely accept that I’m going to stay with Ruki no matter what.”

“What else to say…? I love him a lot. He was my mental support when I was having tough years back at school. Even though we couldn’t talk, he was there for me in my dreams, running through the forest with me. Now, he has helped me a lot to understand how to control my fire and other skills.”

“I was a bit worried after we saved him and he moved into the human world. I had to teach him how to manage through… you know… normal stuff. And his cooking… Oh – my – gosh! It was like he didn’t even bother trying! I was so relieved when he and Nalia got together. Now he can eat proper meals since Nalia makes sure of that. And they are such a lovely couple in any case. I’m happy that Yuuto found his happiness with her~”

Toru

“Oh my… Toru! He is my cousin from Mom’s side. But the way we met… Gosh! He kind of broke into the Mukami manor just to say hi! Ruki was furious! Well… that was actually a bit scary…We were afraid that someone had come to get me but then it was just Toru. No one can be scared of Toru. He is so cute and funny~”

“Hehe, Toru reminds me a bit of Kou but… I think he is softer? Like the most huggable kitsune ever! We are around the same age and now that I’ve gotten know to him I’m sure we’re going to be great friends someday.”

“Though… I think Ruki is still a bit suspicious of Toru. The first impression was… quite something. But Ruki will get over it, I’m sure. It’s my wish that they can get along, so… Hehe~”

[flightofaqrow]

Misfortune (Reprise)

I realized I never talked about option 1. Let me back up. And bear with me a moment. We're going to get serious first, and then silly, okay?

I. The Take

I have too many words about it which will probably keep coming and being further refined into new posts, but to put it as simple as possible: My personal portrayal take is that Misfortune is symbolic of a physical disability (aura and semblance are like a muscle, don't u kno) and an allegory for depression/anxiety, and both of these things are further maladapted due to trauma.

We are explicitly told that semblances may or may NOT be reflective of someone's soul, and that if it is, it can be either a semblance shaped by the soul OR a soul shaped by the semblance. ...Remember?

“A common philosophy is that a warrior’s Semblance is a part of who they are. Some say your personality and character can define your Semblance while some claim that it is the other way around. Of course, there are still many who don’t see a connection at all."

We are also explicitly told by qrow that his "semblance isn't like most."

tl;dr (a) people trying to frame Misfortune as some sort of manifestation of qrow's personality or true self just because using that lens does fit a lot of the other characters, or (b) trying to say that having a different perspective about himself and the trauma aspect of things suddenly makes the other parts go away - absolutely smacks of (a) victim blaming and (b) ableism [to me].

This is a me thing, a personal interpretation and portrayal thing. But this is also my muse and my space to talk about it, so I do. No actual hate to people that interpret or have fun with it otherwise, you're valid.

II. The Alternates

On a lighter note, the two alternative options I will accept for Misfortune reflecting some aspect of qrow's true self are:

He wants to stay the hell away from main character drama, so he acknowledges his B Sitcom plot, complete with the stupid slapstick.

and

2. Super secret [til now] background tertiary allusion: Uncle Charlie.

Welcome to doing whatever you wish! you got the wrong guy. Laughing and singing all day! oh, isn't that wonderful. you mean there's no surprises or anything? Oh no, no, no. We know everything here. aw, that's just lovely. the clouds. the grass. the air. [/s] hey. would you like to dance? you must have studied dancing. you have natural rhythm... Ah! I'm getting dizzy... everything is so lovely here. so planned. so ordinary. and that's what's driving me crazy. i need Brazil, the throb, the thrill i've never been there, but someday i will adventure and danger! love from a stranger! let me be surprised! today there's sun, they said there'd be snow when all's said and done, it's fun not to know what keeps my heart humming is guessing what's coming let me be surprised! oh, ain't it great when fate ...makes you wait the world seems mirthless you feel worthless then suddenly, there's a big bone on your plate! Oh, Charlie, please remember Down there's a world of used cars And singles bars, broken dreams And out of reach stars... but it isn't over, not for this rover i don't like to steal... but i don't buy this deal... in 'bout three seconds, she'll have realized... and she's gonna be. wait'll you see. she's gonna be ...surprised!

this is relevant at just face value, but also.

qrow as 'the second child, the twin who never should have been, but came back wrong/cursed from a prior life' has been a brainworm based around this allusion for a very long time, and then Vol 9 came along and we got canon ascension/reincarnation for potentially everybody AND canon time-fuckery based around pocket watch imagery. so you know what, it's the time and place to talk about that too.

Ozma > qrow > Jaune parallel of boys trying so hard to be heroes but just end up dicking around and caught in things they don't understand. delicious.

001.   TO BE HUMAN - MARINA // 

I like to think about how we all look from afar // People driving fancy cars look like beetles to the stars // The missiles and the bombs sound like symphonies gone wrong // And if there is a God, they'll know why it's so hard // To be human  (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh) // To be human

Still, I don't know, don't know what it means // To be human, a real human being // To be human, I want direction // I wanna feel human again // To be human, lost my direction // I wanna feel human again // To be human, to be human // To be human, to be human

002.   THE DEVIL WITHIN - Digital Daggers // 

I'll keep quiet // You won't even know I'm here // You won't suspect a thing // You won't see me in the mirror // But I crept into your heart // You can't make me disappear // 'Til I make you

I made myself at home // In the cobwebs and the lies // I'm learning all your tricks // I can hurt you from inside // I made myself a promise // You would never see me cry // 'Til I make you // You'll never know what hit you // Won't see me closing in // I’m gonna make you suffer // This hell you put me in // I’m underneath your skin // The devil within

003.   IN MY ARMS - Plumb // 

Story books full of fairy tales // Kings and queens and the bluest skies // My heart is torn just in knowing // You'll someday see the truth from lies // Knowing clouds will raise up // Storms will race in // But you will be safe in my arms // Rains will pour down // Waves will crash all around // But you will be safe in my arms

Castles they might crumble // Dreams may not come true // But you are never all alone // Because I will always, always love you

004.   JUDGEMENT DAY - Stealth // 

Of all the love I have taken, all the hearts I've turned to hate // Hearts are easily broken when you've been made in the shade I've crossed every line, broken every boundary // Now it's retribution time, 'cause the church that I went to // It ain't that holy Strike me down, take me away // Debts are due, it's time to pay // Face what I deserve // Here comes judgment day // I won't run, the guilt is mine // Too long denying all my crimes // Face what I deserve // Here comes judgment day

005.   A GRAVE MISTAKE - Ice Nine Kills // 

But I heard that you reap what you sow // So around and around we go // And when you see my face you'll know // You can't save yourself or save your soul // When you meet the man whose life you stole // With withered wings and broken bones // A flight for the fallen, flies the crow // Can't save yourself

These vengeful thoughts trapped underneath // Rage, scorn, misery // Payback for what you took from me // Hope, love, sanity

No forgiveness, just farewell

006.   MY NAME (WEARING ME OUT) - Shinedown // 

My name is worthless like you told me I once was // My name is empty 'cause you drained away the love // My name is searching since you stole my only soul // My name is hatred and the reasons we both know // Worthless, empty, searching, hatred // Well, who am I right now?

You're fucking wearing me out // You're always dragging me down // You're the fake, fallen force of nature's sick mind // I don't need a gun to take back what's mine // It's over, it's over now // You're done wearing me out

007.    DARKSIDE - Oshins, Hael // 

Who can you trust? // Tell me who can you trust? // Choking on the fear

Do what it takes // You must do what it takes // The devil is not polite // One little lie // Or ten little lies // Won't keep you up at night // Will you cross over? // Will you cross over? // Will you cross over to the dark side?

If they call you // Backstabber // Betrayer // Black magic // That traitor // Backstabber // Betrayer // Black magic // That traitor // You made it to the dark side now

008.    MANNEQUIN - Yuna // 

Are you here to waste time with me? // Cause time is all I have

I don't know what it means to feel whole // You're next to me, but I feel so cold with you // I will be your mannequin, love // Moving my lips the way that you want // Remain the same whenever you walk away

I am the deepest shade of jaded // Drowning from the past, love // Can you breathe, breathe love into me? // So I'll know what it's like

009.    NOTHING ELSE MATTERS - Apocalyptica // 

[ I N S T R U M E N T A L ]

010.    NUMB - Linkin Park // 

Every step that I take is another mistake to you (Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow) // And every second I waste is more than I can take 

I've become so numb // I can't feel you there // Become so tired // So much more aware // I'm becoming this // All I want to do // Is be more like me // And be less like you

And I know // I may end up failing too // But I know // You were just like me with someone disappointed in you

                           • Shania Twain Lyric Starters •

Unfortunately, I am country at heart -- so, we have some starters from the lyrics of one of the most celebrated country singing queens on the planet ! ( Second only to Dolly Parton ! ) I’m talking about Shania Twain !

Oh, sweetness devouring hair splitting perfections of the sea I sit in between of these thoughts and I hope to god We make it make sense today, I hope to god we make it make Sense today, don't you also feel that we're being so real? Don't you also wanna lay down for a little while on grass and then Sandy tiles besides the beach in a villa eating a peach Rotating, half-slithering, as we make the ends of the world Meet slowly, darling, we're meeting slowly, darling, we're meeting Truly, I'm in love and now I feel, I don't have to be sealed On the lips but then again, all these prior adjustments are so rare To be found in such ideal conditions, to be found in this way, and I know if it goes sour, the most beloved thing I have right now Will disintegrate into memories, oh what a curse to have, Memories, and so I'll keep my sealed, with my doors felt, I'll hold your hands somewhere in a fantasy as we jump from the River to the ocean over some cliffs and commotion, the normalcy Of humanity looking at us above, it'll just be the two of us, The darling, and her love, And even if months pass, I'll stay in a corner, you'll be the steps That take us from loveliness to foreigners, attached and together Holding the threads of eternity, forever, oh This is me trying, speaking, and dancing, and writing, and finding Another one to say, look at the day outside Look at the way the clouds all come to such pretty formations as If we they were trying to be you, and as March'll pass, so shall Spring, April and May would be summer that brings relief at the end as we Jump to June and July, by August, we mightn't even be fine, Cause we mightn't even together, in September and October, When I come back and I tell you finally, I don't know If it'll make any sense, any sensibility, maybe we'll be together in October, Maybe we'll be the ideal frolicking characters that jump Over the fields of wheat in fray, you'll be Aphrodite, and I'll still not Over your grace, and so then we arrive at the intricacies of November As it seems to be sort of cold, but then we remember, However cold it might be, it always rains a little bit too deep, So you live, suddenly, in that house in front of my window and We talk about how this world's such a bad, but great place, looking at each Other from distance and space, and then when the November rains greet us, The windows, also, fog up, The little droplets sounding so in tune to our conversation but more, Our dreams we do, and then as it rains, still, we'll meet In the evening when no one's still around, and I'll ask you If I could tell the stories of you I saw in my eyes, and I'll misspeak, The dreams is what I talk about, because my eyes are so hellbent On the beauty I see, and my mind is so hellbent on your unending Intellect and sweet, so that when we meet someday again, The November rain will be immortalised then, And this is a story, I hope it becomes true, Darling, you're my permanent muse, Permanent, permanent, like the rain in November, You're my sweetest muse.

Send 🎵 + a character's name and I will give you an excerpt from a song that makes me think of our muses. [Accepting, mutuals, selective, SPECIFY MUSE]

Verdade Chinesa/ Emílio Santiago - English lyrics

The dusk comes, night rises the magic Maybe we will meet someday Maybe our dream will not be become true Maybe life will still pay that promisse

We do a lot of things Following the path That world has trailed Following the lessons That someone has taught Following the recipe Of a normal life But what is life after all?

Maybe we have to do What master ordered And to eat the bread That devil has kneaded Losing the best that life has to give us

Sit down, settle down Relax, you are welcome here Have a drink, take a time And the sadness will pass Never mind There is much time for tomorrow Our feelings are what worth And the love That we have in our hearts

Chove Chuva - English Lyrics

It rains rain, it rains without stopping…

So I'm going to make a prayer to God, our Lord, to make the rain stop making my divine love wet…

Because it is very pretty, it is more than the infinite, it is pure and beautiful, innocent like the flower…

Please, bad rain, don't make wet my love like this…

O Leãozinho - English lyrics

A lion cub, morning ray Dragging my look like a magnet My heart is the sun, father of all color When it goldens your skin aimlessly

I like seeing you in the sun, little lion Seeing you in enter the sea Your skin, your light, your mane

I like to be by the sun, little lion To wet my mane To be near you and enjoy

9 People Tag

Thank you to @angie-j-kay for the tag!

Tagging: Yeeeeah... anyone who wants to do this is fine, I can’t think of 9 people haha. XD

LAST SONG: The Unicorn from the Legend OST. Especially from 4:00 at onward. Okay. *steeple fingers* Come in close for a second, folks. Listen... say what you will about this movie, I understand how stupid, silly, campy, ridiculous, etc. it seems to younger people nowadays. But. 80s fantasy shaped me as a writer and I have such an affectionate place in my heart for movies like this. Legend will forever be a dear, dear favorite of mine, and the music takes me places, seriously. The Tangerine Dream OST, not... not... whatever the fuck they did to it when they re-released it. They made a completely different orchestral OST and. It. Does not. Have the energy of the original. The original music makes me so happy, to the point I sometimes just start crying when I listen to it because the sheer affectionate nostalgic smacks me in the face, heh. I used to write LotR-style epic fantasies when I was younger (not quality-wise, but just in the sense of books that were thousands of pages with hundreds of characters and sprawling stories), and Legend was one of the movies that opened up my imagination as a child enough for me to be capable of that. Legend, Krull, Labyrinth, Willow, Ladyhawke... there are several that I will forever love. Anyway please give Legend a chance, but watch it uncut and with the Tangerine Dream OST, for the love of all that’s good and holy. Thank you for coming to my talk.*gets down off my soapbox*

LAST MOVIE: The Huntsman: Winter’s War. For... oh... probably the 8th time? About? I lost count, heh, but I’ve seen it several times. It helps me get in a mindset to write a few of my muses, plus it puts me in a high fantasy mood, which for me equates to creativity in general, heh. Fantasy has always been my go-to genre. It and it’s predecessor, Snow White and the Huntsman, are currently on Netflix if anyone’s interested. I’d say watch them in order (SW first then WW), because Winter’s War is both a prequel and a sequel to Snow White, but to me WW is by far the superior one for a million reasons.

CURRENTLY WATCHING: Right at this moment, true crime documentaries, heh. I put them on in the background while I write. There was a time when I wanted to be a forensic psychologist, so I find them really interesting. But lately in general I’ve been binging the Tales From the Crypt and The Ray Bradbury Theater shows because they’re both pure childhood nostalgia for me.

CURRENTLY READING: Sadly, nothing. I just don’t have enough free time to read books right now, unfortunately. I haven’t for a while and that’s... that’s just terrible. I really should try to read more. =(

CURRENTLY CRAVING: Fried foods. Mostly because I can’t eat them due to a dietary restriction. Onion rings, calamari, fried fish sandwiches... *sigh*  Bacon, my love... someday we will meet again. *sobs*

LAST THING YOU SEARCHED FOR WRITING PURPOSES: I actually just looked up Pascal  from Vincent’s show for a thread because for some reason I keep thinking his name is Pasqual instead? I have no idea why? So yeah, I had to confirm the spelling of his name haha.

I think I’m ready to share some of my musings regarding my OCs. Here goes nothing!

Carmen is a woman who befits the “always a bridesmaid never a bride” saying. She’s the one that’s usually left alone in a group of friends. When it comes to romance, she seems to have the worst luck: no one ever considers her. Even as a child, she wasn’t given much attention, as she was not as spectacular and smart as the other girls in school were, which disappointed her mother. Carmen was also very shy and introverted, it seems she’s naturally always been this way, and Carmen’s mother always wished she was different. She longs to be heard. She’s never heard. All she wants is for someone to sit down and listen to her speak for once, but this never seems to happen. Any time she tries to communicate and reach out to people she wants to form friendships with, she feels as though she is shut down, as if they are uninterested in anything she has to say. As if she’s there because perhaps someone had an idea of her that made her seem more interesting to them, but the more she spoke the more she shattered this reality, and thus the less interested they were in the real her. And oh how she wishes someone could love her for the real her! She knows she can be annoying at times, or that her general sadness can be off putting to many. But she wishes someone would love her - truly love her - the bad parts of her as much as they love the good parts about her. And she wants to be like other girls. She feels so different from other girls. She never feels as pretty as the girls she sees. She often wonders what went wrong when God was making her, what about her makes her seem so undesirable when compared to other women. As she starts to grow older towards her 30’s, she starts to worry that she’s lost goods, that she won’t ever achieve her dreams, that she won’t ever find love, that she’s too old to have dreams of being a princess living a dream. She was always worried that she wouldn’t transition well into adulthood, and now it seems her suspicions are coming true…

When she first meets her partner, Jolene/Elena, she’s not fond of her much. To be quite frank, Elena comes across as an asshole to her, this woman that wants to make things bad for Carmen just when things are looking up (sorry I haven’t revealed this part of the story yet!) but as time goes on, Carmen finds herself warming up to Elena. And she notices something, something she previously thought was too good to be true. Elena listens. Whenever Carmen speaks about her opinions and her feelings, Elena doesn’t shut her down. She stays and listens and even offers feedback. She is always there for Carmen. It seems like whenever she’s feeling down, Elena is right there to help her feel a bit better. And Elena appreciates her for who she is. Carmen could cry a whole night and Elena doesn’t run away or think less of her for it. Carmen didn’t know that true love could exist in this way, pure and good. She always thought she would have to settle. Elena proves she never had to; she proves that Carmen was enough all along. She proves to Carmen that Carmen didn’t have to be someone extraordinary in order to do extraordinary things. She can be ordinary and still be and do extraordinary things.

When I first wrote about Carmen, I was a very lonely person in a very lonely place. I wanted to write about my own loneliness and I wanted to offer myself some form of hope. I wanted to write about love I hoped I would get to experience someday, a love that I think we all want to have and deserve in life. I wanted this story to feel like a warm hug after a long cry. I hope that it is able to bring other people who also feel lonely and unlovable and un special some form of comfort ❤️

& 6 QUOTES THAT INSPIRE YOU TO WRITE YOUR MUSE.

"There's some good in this world, and it's worth fighting for."

"I am an incurable romantic. I believe in hope, dreams, and decency, love, tenderness, and kindness, I believe in mankind."

"So I believe in a Universe that doesn't care and people who do."

"No. She couldn't stay here. She could not stand to be lost to the darkness forever, when there was still a whole universe she'd never seen."

"And yet, through it all, she remained ever gentle and kind, for with each new dawn she found new hope that someday, her dreams of happiness would come true."

"Maybe there isn't such a thing as fate. Maybe it's just the opportunities we're given and what we do with them. I'm beginning to think that maybe great, epic romances don't just happen. We have to make them ourselves."

(4)…Halloween tradition. (Mun)

I mentioned this on Pietro’s blog in this post, but my favorite Halloween tradition is to decorate the stairs that are right in front of my front door for the kids to see when they come trick-or-treating. It’s something we’ve done for as long as I remember. We go and collect decorations from all over the house and pile them all onto the stairs, specifically ones that you can stick glow sticks, tea lights, or other light elements into. And then when it gets dark, the kiddies get to see a multicolored light fest of all decorations right in front of the door when they show up. It really makes their faces light up, especially some of the really little kids, and it’s just great fun to do. It’s a bit of a pain to clean up at the end of the day, haha, but it’s worth it. XD

(5)…ghost story. (Mun)

This isn’t a famous story, but I’ve always liked it because my parents always got so animated whenever they told it. One night when they were sleeping, my dad awoke to my mom sitting up in bed and talking to a shadow man. My mom could see him but my dad couldn’t. She said he was standing at the foot of the bed wearing a hat but she couldn’t see his face very well. My dad was like nope and got up and turned the lights on, but when he looked back to the bed, there was no man standing anywhere and my mom was laying back down, fast asleep. My dad was up for the rest of the night, too weirded out to sleep. As a child, I always wondered if I would ever see the man in my room, but I never did. My mom assumed that she was dreaming and partly sleepwalking, but that never took away from the creepiness of the story for me.

(8)…murderous horror movie doll. (Mun)

DO NOT ASK ME TO CHOOSE JUST ONE. Horror movie dolls are... kindof a thing with me haha. I have numerous replicas from various movies that I collect. But I’ll list my favorites off the top of my head and link to some pics in case you’re not familiar with them:

Blade (Puppet Master movie franchise)

Jester (Puppet Master movie franchise)

Mr. Punch (Dolls, 1987)

Talky Tina (“Living Doll,” The Twilight Zone)

The Zuni warrior fetish doll (Trilogy of Terror, 1975)

All of these guys are near and dear to my hear, haha, because I grew up watching them as a child. I have replicas of all of them except for the Zuni warrior doll, mostly because he’s too expensive, heh. But... someday... XD

(11)…urban legend (Mun)

I’ve always loved the legends about staircases either granting wishes or showing you visions of things for some reason. There are a few of these from around the world, such as the 100 Steps Cemetery in Indiana, US, or the fictional one depicted in the South Korean horror film Wishing Stairs. In the former, the stairs show you a vision of your death, and the number of stairs has to do with whether the vision was true or false, and in the latter, the stairs grant wishes. Basically, you ascend the stairs and count how many there are. Usually there’s a certain number you have to count to or there will be a hidden or additional stair that’s not always there, so you count to that specific number. Once on the correct stair, you make a wish or you receive a vision, and then sometimes you have to count back down the staircase as well to make sure you’ve done everything right or to assess the validity of the vision you’ve seen.

I’m not sure why I’ve always liked this urban legend, but I suppose I’m intrigued by finding a hidden stair or a stair that only appears at certain times, or by having something show you a vision if you count to the right number. It makes me wonder what being or beings is watching over the stairs, like what are you inadvertently praying to by doing this? It’s a concept that has always stirred my imagination.

(12)…Halloween costume. (Mun)

Honestly, I’ve been going to Ren Faires since I was in high school, so I have a lot of garb for them, including some Halloween-specific things. So I love just doing a mashup of different Ren Faire costumes with skirts, corsets, flowy shirts, and all sorts of festive jewelry. So I load myself up with all of that and add a large witch hat or something and just... feel festive, heh. The kiddies love it when I answer the door to give out candy, they think I’m a spirit of Halloween type figure or something, haha. I have a lot of fun with it. =)

(5)…ghost story. (Freya)

“My favorite ghost story is one of a wronged woman and the empowerment that death afforded her. She was accused of being unfaithful and thrown out into the snow by her husband without anything to keep her warm. She froze to death and became a vengeful ghost, wandering the white, snowy hills and forests for men who would take her in. If they did, their morality would decide their fate. if they tried to force themselves on her, she would murder them and devour their souls. If, however, their offer of help was genuine, she would let them live, disappearing sometime during the night while leaving behind a gift of some kind, usually food or medicine depending on the culture of the person telling the story. I have always liked this story because it describes a woman wronged who has then turned her misfortune into empowerment and the ability to punish those responsible.”

(5)…ghost story. (Ivan)

“I don’t believe in ghosts, but if I did, I’d like any story that scared people enough to be safe and stay in their homes at night. Any story that keeps people from doing something stupid is a good one.”

(5)…ghost story. (Esther)

“When I was very little, my mother told me a story about a ghost that would lead children back home when they were lost, especially at night. It looked like a woman in a long white dress, she said. It was a long time ago and I don’t remember the details of the story, but I remembered loving it. It gave me hope that if I ever lost my way, there would be someone  - or something - watching out for me. Unfortunately, when I was taken by the Church to become a Priestess, the ghost never came to take me back home. That’s how I learned it was nothing but a story, and yet I still think of it fondly to this day.”

(2, 11, 12) …Halloween activity, urban legend, and Halloween costume. (Natasha)

“Oh, my favorite Halloween activity is dressing up, for sure. You can really go nuts and be anything you want for a day, it’s great. My favorite urban legend is... well, I’m not sure this actually is an official one, but the story of people who break into someone’s home with intent to rob or kill them, only to find out the person who lives there is better trained than they are and the tables are completely turned on them. That’s great, I love it. And favorite costume... I’m gonna have to go with sexy cat. It’s a fan favorite every time.”

(2, 11, 12) …Halloween activity, urban legend, and Halloween costume. (Stephen)

“Favorite Halloween activity... I’d say pumpkin carving. Because I’m terrible enough at it to make it amusing to both myself and anyone watching, it’s like... imagine the drunkest, most constipated pumpkin face in the world and that’s about how my carvings end up coming out every time. And I’m still liking the ‘pennies from heaven’ urban legend. It’s so absurd, but so many people believe it. That’s power right there. But that’s the power of all urban legends, isn’t it? To make it just believable enough for us to say... yeah, that could probably happen. And then we alter our behavior accordingly. For costume... let’s go with classic wizard. You know, a long blue robe, tall pointed hat with stars on it, a big gnarly staff or a wand, something like that. Like Gandalf but more comical and nostalgic.”

(2, 11, 12) …Halloween activity, urban legend, and Halloween costume. (Tony)

“Is it wrong to say drinking? Probably, right? But they have the best Halloween drinks, with black food coloring and dry ice for smoke and fog effects. Seriously, you can get very imaginative with Halloween potation.

“Urban legend... uh... okay, there’s one about a woman hearing over the radio in her car that a deranged killer has escaped from prison or an asylum or whatever and she gets all scared, right? So she’s like okay, I’ll just go run my errand, get home, lock up, everything’ll be fine. She heads to the store, buys what she needs, get back in the care, starts driving home. Except she realizes her car seriously needs gas, so she has to stop. And it’s dark, and she’s creeped out by what she heard on the radio... and of course the station attendant is acting really weird on top of all that. He’s looking into her car, he keeps staring at her, he’s really slow pumping the gas. And the woman’s getting antsy, she just wants to go home. Finally the attendant say you know what, there’s a problem with your credit card, you’re gonna have to come into the station to use the other machine. She doesn’t want to but she doesn’t have much of a choice, so she gets out of the car, and immediately the attendant pulls a gun on her. She starts begging for her life, but he shoots anyway. Only... he doesn’t shoot her, he shoots the deranged killer who had been in her back seat. He got into her car at the store miles back and has been there this whole time. That’s why the attendant was acting strange. He was trying not to tip the guy off. He actually saved her life. Love that story.

“And costume... Oh, I went to a party as a cheeseburger the one year. I had this big poofy getup on... cheese, tomato, lettuce, big buns, the whole deal. very unwieldy and don’t ask me how I went to the bathroom, but it was a lot of fun.”
