Lord of Shadows playlist

tmi-city-of-bones15-blog said:Hey Cassie, I was wondering if you have a Playlist for each book that you write? Or if you have something to inspire you on those moments?

I do! You can find old ones on this tumblr, and here is the one for Lord of Shadows! (Sometimes people complain the songs aren’t new — I tend to mix up old and new songs, and remember, the book was written last year!)

Lord of Shadows

Six Blade Knife, Dire Straits

Your six blade knife can do anything for you Anything you want it to One blade for breaking my heart One blade for tearing me apart Your six blade knife can do anything for you

Fuck It And Whatever, The Echo-Friendly

We are sleeping in a rainstorm With no lightning rod So please remember my love As we lie in the arms of an angry vengeful God And I know we can’t stay together But I’ll keep you safe forever And I know that sounds heavy But fuck it and whatever

Kill Your Heroes AWOL NATION

Well I met an old man dying on a train. No more destination, no more pain. Well he said one thing, before I graduate “Never let your fear decide your fate.”

I say kill your heroes and fly, fly, baby don’t cry. No need to worry ‘cause, everybody will die. Every day we just go, go, baby don’t go. Don’t you worry we love you more than you know.

Blood in the Cut, K. Flay

Met back up with the boy I love Cried on the streets of San Francisco I don’t have an agenda All I do is pretend to be ok so my friends Can’t see my heart in the blender Lately, I’ve been killing all my time Reading through your messages my favorite way to die Take my head and kick it in Break some bread for all my sins Say a word, do it soon It’s too quiet in this room

Sweet Disaster — Dreamers

Some nights feel like every night This one feels brand new Only got bad things on my mind When I’m with you

Tell me that you need me on the floor Passed out in your dirty clothes Ask me what the hell I’m looking for Like you don’t know

Shatter in the Night — Vesperteen

Laying in the yard and we worship the stars  

And I blow your mind while you kiss my scars. 

We rise and we fall. We’re floating 

And all our time’s revolving around what we see as true 

But it’s breaking me and it’s breaking you

Every Other Weekend — Annie Rapid (always makes me think of Livvy & Ty)

But we are one 

For you are here 

Inside a place so far away 

My brother always near 

It’s every other weekend 

And it’s in the messages they send 

Broken promises will mend 

For all these things we can’t count on 

Will one day make us grow up strong

No Mermaid — Sinead Lohan

we went down to the edge of the water you were afraid to go in you said there might be sharks out there in the ocean and i said i’m only going for a swim i was swimming around in a circle i wasn’t always in view you said we might get into red flag danger and i am alone when i’m not with you but i am no mermaid and i am no fisherman’s slave i am no mermaid i keep my head above the waves 

Breaking Free — Night Riots

You’re not my savior, just someone I used to see I am broken Something’s wrong inside of me I feel violent Like I’m dying I feel broken Maybe I’m just breaking free

These Taming Blues — Joe Tex

Is it ever gonna not be so hard to see you around? Am I really really really really gonna have to leave town?

I mean I called upon a bunch of angels calling angels ain’t you supposed to come and take away these blues?

All five kinds of rains

All nine kinds of thunder and

Eighteen white horses who will not ever come to me!

Don’t plant your feet, love, in that garden of blame.

Don’t break me no more, love.

I’m already tame.

Home — American Authors

I’ve got these letters tattooed on my arm That remind me each second of where I come from And the long hard road to get me back home

I’m not trying to part the ocean waves I’m not trying to overthrow the throne I’m just trying to find a way to make it back home

In Our Bedroom After the War — Stars

Wake up! Say good morning to that sleepy person lying next to you If there’s no one there, then there’s no one there, but at least the war is over It’s us – yes, we’re back again, here to see you through, 'til the days end And if the night comes, and the night will come, well at least the war is over

Meet me in the Woods — Lord Huron

How long, baby, have I been away? Oh, it feels like ages though you say it’s only days There ain’t language for the things I’ve seen, yeah And the truth is stranger than my own worst dreams

Anna Lee — firekid

Sinking sand When I sleep I see her ghost Siren’s hand pulling me six feet below Pyramid Wasted dreams Built it for two Inherited her color scheme Now it’s my tomb

I'm so tired of people hating on Jihyo

She is super talented, a great leader, and beautiful. I’m sick of people saying she has too many solos or that her voice sucks or that she’s fat. She has so many solos because her voice is great and she’s a MAIN VOCALIST. She is just as beautiful and vital to the group as Momo or Tzuyu or any other member. She earned all of this. She dedicated 10 years of her life to training. She was 8 years old (9 in Korea) and she decided that her life would revolve around her dream of debuting as a KPOP idol. Jihyo isn’t my bias and I’m not throwing any shade at the other girls. I just want everyone to acknowledge the beautiful star that is Park Jihyo.

One of the hardest things about being a reader is having to wait so long for sequels to arrive! A Million Worlds With You, the third book in Claudia Gray’s Firebird series isn’t released until November 1st. Ugh. What are you all waiting (not so patiently) on? 

[thefangirlingbookworm-blog]

I just need A Million Worlds With You. 

Please. 😖

        “Now, here’s the deal. I will make you a potion that will turn you into a human for three days. Got that? Three days. Now listen, this is important. Before the sun sets on the third day, you’ve got to get dear ol’ princey to fall in love with you. That is, he’s got to kiss you. Not just any kiss the kiss of true love. “

There’s a new episode of Star vs. the Forces of Evil tonight at 7pm on DisneyXD! Featuring songs by me and Amelia! 

[thefangirlingbookworm-blog]

Star, why are you so pure and precious?

[thefangirlingbookworm-blog]

Some fans have been disappointed by “Sleepover” revealing that Star may have a crush on Marco, criticizing the twist as clichéd and predictable.

While I understand where all of this is coming from, I have a different opinion on the subject (granted, I’m biased as I’m Starco Trash™, but I’m seriously trying to be as rational as possible about this).

Since day one, Starco has been somehow different from your usual “just friends becoming lovers” trope because of their amazing chemistry, genuinely good friendship, great character-writing and overall cuteness. Now, I said trope, not cliché: the trope is the narrative choice of having two friends eventually falling in love over the course of the series, the cliché is how you get there. This is why the Starco-heavy “Blood Moon Ball” ultimately works, despite some issues, because it thankfully (and realistically) acknowledges that you can’t just “romantic slow dance” out of your problems when you (Marco, in that case) screw up; instead, it gave us a different kind of Starco development, with that really clever balcony scene/dialogues at the very end of the episode.

The point is, while the show may have its problems, the Starco is still beautifully handled, even after the whole “Star is crushing on Marco” twist. Given the genre, premise and the tone of this cartoon, it was extremely easy to go for the “weaker male friend saves the stronger female hero in an epic way” cliché, a scene where Marco saves the day and Star just stares at him in awe, blushes wildly and starts crushing wildly on him.

But, fortunately, they didn’t. Instead, Star simply developed her crush off-screen, in the most organic, mundane and realistic way possible: by just spending time with Marco, hanging out, getting to know each other, learning something new about the other every day, living (slice-of-life or sci-fi) adventures, all that stuff. And said crush was revealed in a very good, well-written episode which wasn’t even fully about the Starco ship in the first place.

For a show that is supposedly about frantic battle scenes and flashy magic, this was a very welcome meta-twist, a further proof of how the series’ main focus is in fact Star and Marco’s evolving relationship and how believable it is.

Another post fueled by Starco Trash™. Rational Starco Trash™ this time. Or at least I tried.

Your crush? Star Butterfly, of course.

“I have a crush on Jackie. At least, I think I do. But what does that really mean? I’ve put her on this sort of pedestal. So do I like the image of her or who she really is? I mean, I like her enough to know that she deserves someone who wants to get to know her, which is definitely me.”

Just to remind everyone, THIS IS A SHOW ON DISNEY XD

THE SAME CHANNEL AS “WALK THE PRANK” AND “PICKLE AND PEANUT”

AM I ON JUPITER? IS THIS LEVEL OF CHARACTER GROWTH REAL?
