Diamond in the Rough Contest Update

Hey there! We have a winner in the contest to figure out what Brienne's walk-up song is in Diamond in the Rough!!!

Imadeitup, in the comments for Chapter 42, correctly guessed that the song is "Titanium" by David Guetta ft. Sia!!

"Titanium" is one of my all-time favorite songs. When I was thinking of what Brienne's walk-up song would be, two songs immediately came to mind: this one and Sia's "I'm Still Here." I decided on this one because "I'm Still Here" talks about the past haunting the singer, and the past is something Brienne would much rather put behind her and look to the future. The lyrics to "Titanium" were just absolutely perfect!

The section she uses is the chorus:

Bulletproof, nothing to lose/ Fire away, fire away/ Ricochet you take your aim/ Fire away, fire away/ You shoot me down/ But I won't fall/ I am titanium...

See? It's perfect!

Congratulations to Imadeitup!!!

But hey--I'd still love to hear from you guys about what you think everyone else's walk-up music is. I've pretty much settled on "Fireball" by Pitbull for Thoros Myr (the Royals' closer). Someone early on suggested "O Fortuna" from Carmina Burana for Cleos, which I absolutely love!! But no one's got anything for the other guys?

What do you think Addam would stroll to the plate to? Or Daven? (Actually, I kind of like the idea of Daven choosing something a bit off-beat, like "Ain't No Rest for the Wicked.") Or Gendry?

Most of all--what about JAIME??? What's his walk-up music?

Who's your Favorite Blorbo?

Star Trek is everything to me. As a kid I got a Starfleet Academy Ring because I couldn't afford a class ring and I had not one, but two custom made Star Trek uniforms I got off Ebay. My favorite Star Trek series has to be Deep Space Nine. I didn't watch it when it came out originally but I bought a bootleg boxset off Ebay and one summer me, my brother and mom watched every single episode. It was so much fun. My favorite character has to be Quark. I love how he's a bit shady but you can see his heart of gold sometimes. I love his interactions with his brother as he reminds me of my brother. I love the "business" aspect and somewhere I have a book they published on the Rules of Acquisition. I told you mine, what's yours?

Edit: Ignorance is no excuse but I had no idea about the origins of the "change my mind" meme nor did I know who Steven Crowder is. I will not use that meme anymore.

Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance - La Cité des Cloches

[faunandfloraas]

Eternity, Bang Chan - 2024 // Eternity, Arthur Stace - 1932 to 1966.

In 1932, residents all over the city of Sydney started noticing something interesting, the word “Eternity” written on the pavement or wall, over and over again. The word was seemingly written by the same person each time, in a beautiful copperplate script. The mystifying and intriguing presence of graffiti before graffiti was commonplace had Sydney residents pondering who this "Eternity man" could be. In 1956, the mystery was solved- Arthur Stace, a former soldier and alcoholic, turned man of faith, had inscribed the word over Sydney's suburbs more than half a million times between 1932 and 1966. He chose to write the word in the early hours of the morning, when few people were around, managing to keep his identity a secret for over 20 years. Something about the word eternity, written in fleeting chalk on the ever-changing city streets, seemed to compel locals- Newspaper writers published account after account speculating on the identity of this unknown man and the occasional false confession helped to maintain the air of wonder and mystery that surrounded the anonymous "Eternity man". Even after his identity had been revealed, Mr. Eternity, as he came to be dubbed, continued writing his eponymous "Eternity" across the walkways and walls of Sydney for another decade, becoming a beloved character in the city until his passing at the age of 82, in 1967. Now, nearly 60 years after the final "Eternity" by Arthur Stace was written, his message of eternity still manages to permeate the minds of Sydneysiders- becoming a representative word of the city.

Me almost 30, knitting in the TSA line: As long as I’m not bothering anyone, who gives a fuck.

the boys have had an annual arm wrestling match since they were kids. they train for it and talk about it “off season”. master splinter is the judge and takes it equally as seriously. when they befriend april, casey, and vern, donnie sends them e-vites and tickets to print out (which must be presented at the door, vern forgot his last year and missed the leo v raph round going all the way home to get it and back). this year’s winner will be awarded the coveted spot as the lead vocals on the christmas covers album theyre working on.

UNDERWORLD SAGA- MY THOUGHTS

My goodness you guys do I have thoughts.

FIRST- the way this is such an ensemble heavy saga the 'all i hear are screams' in the first song WOW. Its because they have the whole crew back. They're singing with everyone, and I hadn't realised how much independent and almost quiet it had gotten during the circe saga, which speaks as a metaphor in itself

SECOND- Polites is back!!! Thank youuuuu actual tears were falling, the way odysseus' voice breaks when he says his name, similarly to his mother (regarding his mum, holy moly [pun intended] he didn't know she was dead- the guilt he must feel 'i took too long' broke me) polities that sweetheart, I can imagine even his ghost is so encouraging to the crew that's left on the journey, they needed that guy for morale big time.

THIRD- aight onto the prophet, anyone who read the odyssey is screaming rn, the foreshadowing is soo good but mysterious and twisted enough that it fits greek prophecies soooo well. Piggybacking off that 'palace in red' when we get to the suitors that shit is going to POP OFF damn it I cannot wait. Mentions of penelope being under pursuit. The WHO?!?!?!? Oh. My. Gods YES THAT WAS BRILLIANT. he's so angry and he loves his wife so much, I will never stop gushing over the two of them. Perfect.

FOURTH- the third song, pretty sure I screamed. The tension. The foreshadowing. The regret. The guilt. IT HAS EVERYTHING. All the references back to previous events, giving perspective from the other characters to stop portraying them like the enemies is so so important for the legacy of greek mythology. Perspective is everything. Onto THE BRIDGE!! HELLO? THIS MAN IS BOTH A GENIUS AND ACTUALLY INSANE. HE IS A MADMAN AND I LOVE IT. Drop another infant from a wall..... I actually have no words that is insanely cool. Odysseus has changed so much. Athena needs to hit him up again, now he'd kill for his people, you can see just how tired he is and how much he wants to go home. He's scared for penelope and telemachus, literally nothing else matters anymore.

Overall. 10/10 and this is only HALF WAY can it even get better than this??

This is a question for all type a control freaks who also love to just hang out. I have suspicions that I am doomed to work a real job forever because I am a type a control freak who needs stress to live and genuinely enjoys whenever I work a shift and I have zero thoughts the entire day because I’m busy putting out fires. And also because I think an email job would kill me with how fake and nonproductive it is. But email jobs are tempting bc of the wfh fake no stakes aspect. Is anyone a type a control freak who has successfully switched from real job to fake job or am I right and my temperament is doomed to real job forever
