Decided to compile the songs which represent evervale best imo, because I just love my Villains playlist (and them) sm 😭😭
Evervale Songs!
Innocent - Mitchel Dae (“I / Wish I could turn back the time / And do it all over, let someone close enough / To lift off the weight of the crimes / That weigh on my shoulders, then maybe I would be / Innocent where I don’t convolute / Twisted up versions of the truth” AGHHHGAGHGA ELI EVER IS THAT YOU)
Bury a Friend/God’s Gonna Cut You Down - Every King & Commoner, Travelers (self-explanatory even just from the title I think 😭)
Snakes - MIYAVI, PVRIS, Arcane (Victor to Eli, Eli’s the snake. Definitely badass enough for them as well)
Kill Our Way to Heaven - Michl (was this song literally written about Eli?)
Succession (Main Title Theme) - Nicholas Britell (vibes)
Sucker - Arcane, Marcus King (Vic after Eli’s death?? 👀)
The Good Soldier - Nine Inch Nails (Eli: “I am trying to believe / Blood hardens in the sand, cold metal in my hand / Hope you understand the way that things are gonna be / There’s nowhere left to hide ‘cause God is on our side”)
down to the river - Mitchel Dae (the whole thing. Listen to it guys it’s my favourite song)
Dark Signs - Sleep Token (“And where we met, there must have been dark signs / Omens in your skies / Most days you reach for safety / Remain calm, forget that you know me / And when we met, I could see dark signs” AND ALL THE REST OF THE LYRICS AHHGHAHGAH)
Outrunning Karma - Alec Benjamin (ELI THIS IS SO SO ELI OMG)
Hell Hath No Such Fury - David Chappell (vibes again)
engravings - Ethan Bortnick (vibesss omg the piano!! Also the lyrics kinda give Victor to Eli)
Ascensionism - Sleep Token (“Who made you like this? / Who encrypted your dark gospel in body language? / … / Won’t you come and dance in the dark with me? / Show me what you are, I’m desperate to know / Nobody better than the perfect enemy”)
Call Me Revenge - 21 Savage, d4vd (I’ll give you three guesses who this one relates to)
What Could Have Been - Sting, Ray Chen (also from Arcane. I am obsessed w this song and it is so them. On a related note, Silco and Vander from Arcane really gave me Evervale vibes?? Might make another post abt this; to me they are both very similar to Victor in different ways)
flAsh flooD - Mitchel Dae (haha can you guys tell I like Mitchel Dae? idk for this one, mostly just vibes again)
Blood Sport - Sleep Token (GUYS THIS IS *THE* EVERVALE SONG TO ME. WDYM “I’m still your favourite regret / You’re still my weapon of choosing”? BRO WDYM “I wanna be forgiven / I wanna choke up chunks of my own sins / Even if the sky cracks in mourning / And the heavens just won’t open up for me / Would you invite me in again? / Let me pay for my arrogance? / Won’t you show me your weakness? / I made loving you a blood sport”?? IT’S LITERALLY THEM)
Here is the link to my playlist if anyone needs more of their vibes ❤️❤️
#I’m so obsessed with them#there is so much sleep token here bc their songs just fit the vibe so well and the LYRICS OMG#evervale#victor vale#eli ever#eli cardale#vicious#vengeful#victorious#villains#villains duology#villains series#ve schwab#music#sleep token#mitchel dae#spotify#my posts

Assorted thoughts and quotes I liked from "Imbalance" by V.E. Mitchell
• I enjoyed Riker getting to have a musical moment! The chapter made me want to pick up my cello.
@overseer-picard Hi!! Book #2!!
• In a similar vein to how I chose the first book, I chose this one because Beverly is on the cover 🥰
• Keiko's inclusion was a pleasant surprise! I like her character, so when I realized she was a main character in the plot I was excited for more content.
• I liked the utilization of multiple perspectives. It kept the suspense alive, and I enjoyed weaving the storylines together.
---
• The issues Keiko and Miles had throughout the book were a can of worms I didn't really want to unpack while reading. This book felt very 90s. As happy as I was to have Keiko in the story, I ended up disliking much of her storyline.
• Overall, the writing was good. The plot was interesting. I can't say it's a book I would've picked up if not for these characters, but it was a good read! It was a very action driven sci-fi story. It didn't have as much of an episode-like feel as "Boogeymen", but that's fine because it was a solid book.
• I appreciated the lack of typos lol.
• I enjoyed the book! I don't know how motivated I'd feel to reread it, but I'm glad I read it! I don't read sci-fi very often, so I'm having fun with this avenue of venturing into the genre.
1.

It should be noted that I also point out every time this happens while watching the show. I love the inclusion in both books I've read so far.
2.

I already texted you about this, but man, Riker is always going through it. Is it even a Riker-centric scene if he's not getting battered and bruised? He did not have a single moment of peace in this book. He was concerned for Picard's well-being every time he went to the planet. He was nervous about offending the aliens when he accompanied their musicians. He was totally bruised, swollen, and had poisoned scratches all over himself, but instead he focused on Beverly's (mostly healed!) scratch on her arm.
I think I've mentioned it before, but the turning point for me starting to like Riker's character while watching the show was a result of him getting beat up so much at the end of season 1/beginning of season 2. This whole book, I felt bad for him 😭. He's just a traumatized little guy (I say about a grown man over 6 feet all).
3.


Beverly has my heart forever. It's very sweet that Wesley was at the forefront of her mind while she was in danger, and she was comforted by knowing he wasn't facing the same danger. It also seems very in character for her to acknowledge how bad her situation was while also pre-planning how she would repackage the story as to not concern Wesley.
Wesley may not have been involved in this story, but I enjoyed knowing he was in Beverly's thoughts.
---
Additional thoughts:
• I thought it was funny that Worf and Riker ended up in fairly similar situations, but they had entirely different outcomes. Worf strategically got himself out of the compound and was rescued by the Enterprise. Riker severely injured himself, and then he escaped the compound by being kidnapped and taken to a second location. 💀
• I guessed pretty immediately that Keiko was pregnant. It's a pretty used trope that if a woman in a committed relationship in a book is suddenly puking a bunch, the reveal will be that she's pregnant.
• While watching TNG, my brother and I would frequently say, "Picard in trouble. Riker most affected." In this book, I would say it was Worf who was most affected. Every single chapter in Worf's perspective, half of his thoughts were that it was his duty to save Picard. It was fun seeing Picard's amusement at Worf's dedication to his job + warrior status.

i am presently four chapters into windows on a lost world by v.e. mitchell, one of a great many star trek tie-in novels which i’ve technically read before but so long ago that i remember nearly nothing about it.
my observations so far:
one of the recreational activities available to crewmembers on the starship enterprise is a glee club lol
these archeologists are very interested in the potential for flashy discoveries that might lead to their own acclaim, and not very interested in puzzling out what the material culture they’re looking at has to tell them 🤨
wow i sure am getting lots of “this is not a place of honor” vibes from the mysterious artifact that everyone is determined to uncover, open up, and investigate 😅
still to come: i am like 40% sure that this is the tie-in novel where kirk and chekov get turned into giant alien crabs whose language involves creating bioluminescent patterns on their carapaces? but so far no hints of that, so perhaps i’m misremembering…
