Some Disenchanted thoughts (spoilers!!):

Amy Adams has RANGE y’all. She was fabulous

The fact that Giselle, Morgan, Robert, and Tyson all got to be the heroes, there wasn’t just one person who swept in an did it all themselves was just… *chef’s kiss*

Idina Menzel 😍

There was a great balance of magic and real life stuff in a way that was different enough to make it unique from the original but also honor what sets Enchanted apart as a movie

The costume department popped off, y’all

Robert being head over heels for Giselle and being a really good dad is just very soothing to watch lol. And the part where he saved the little girl whose family was identical to his 😭 poetic cinema

Peep James Monroe Iglehart! I got so excited when I heard his voice 😂

Yep I just love everything about this film lol. I don’t think it was better than the original but I don’t think it needs to be, either. It was special in its own way and I’m going to be talking about it forever 😂❤️

Now please allow me to sing this movie's praises.

First, I love a sequel that knows its a sequel. It didn't try to outdo Enchanted at all. I think that "That's How You Know" is THE song from Enchanted and Robert and Giselle dancing at the ball is THE scene. None of the songs tried to be That's How You Know, or be better. They never tried to do a better dance scene. There was the adorable little slow dance at the very end but it was more in honor of the original. Everything was in honor of the original. They respected it and added onto the story in a way that made sense and was good. It was so good.

All of the old disney easter eggs got me they really did!!! We love easter eggs.

The plot as a whole was just!!!!! So good!!!!!! I love that Giselle's life wasn't bad, she just had struggles that she never would have had in Andalasia. And I also love that even though Morgan's teenager-ness was the catalyst for the conflict, she wasn't villainized for it. Giselle didn't resent her for it, she just wanted to understand and help. She wasn't "fixed" at the end. She was still a teenager, still a little snippy, she's still gonna be embarrassed by Giselle sometimes, but that's ok. And Giselle understands her better now. Her whole relationship with Morgan was beautiful. The way she was just so desperate to help, how Morgan was declared a true Andalasian daughter because she's Giselle's daughter. Morgan calling Giselle "mom" really got to me. The fact that her saying "she's my stepmother" has the power to make Giselle that upset just shows how good of a mom she is!!!! That entire dynamic was just. More than I could have asked for.

Speaking of dynamics!! Giselle and Nancy girlbossing together. Amazing. Edward trying to help Robert. Adorable. I love how Giselle and Nancy basically switching roles made them able to understand each other so well. The fact that Nancy is the one dealing with hobgoblins on a daily basis now but she can still give Giselle teenager advice. I love it. Nancy and Edward on their own were amazing as well!!!!! Big fan of them not having kids. Big fan of Edward being the largest himbo to exist even after all these years. Big fan of him sword fighting with the kids at the end. Big fan of him saying "that's all it [the wishing plate] does, we're fairly certain?" Big fan of Nancy's wardrobe. Big fan of them being Sofia's godparents. Big fan of the implication that they visit pretty often. Big fan of them <3

The Giselle and Robert content, while perhaps a bit more sparce than I may have hoped for, was just UGSFJHSDBHGBVOUBGABVSDAU. Perfect. The way he looks at her??? Kill me. I love how he loves her singing now. When he was watching her dance around the house in the beginning and when he was smiling when she started singing again that night OH MY GOD I LOVE HIM I LOVE THEM. The kiss at the end. Actually. Every kiss. They kiss and I cry it's very simple. The glimpse of the wedding oh my god??? When you can hear Robert's voice say "I do" and "You'll always be a princess to me" when Giselle's getting the memories back I DIED. And I choose to believe the princess line was a part of his vows. Yeah.

The soundtrack was great. Badder is my favorite at the moment lol. Speaking of, Amy Adams' range???? I mean I knew she had it but Giselle slowly becoming a villain was so satisfying to watch. I loved when she was talking to herself sdfbsdjf she's so funny. The humor all around was great too!

That's all I got for now. I'm sure more will come to me. Overall i really loved the movie and im really happy with how they handled it and seeing Giselle and Robert again in the year 2022 was desperately needed for my mental health. thank you.

Does King Celestio grant wishes in this version? Or if not, is he a villain for the joy of it, akin to Curella, or a more bitter one with personal motives? akin to a scar.

Oh, btw, good morning Estrella's is a bop btw. Congratulations on the progress!

No, the king doesn’t grant wishes in this version. He’s a straight up villain (and even badder than just a bad king—you’ll see more as the movie comes out, *wink wink*)

Also, thank you so much! I’m glad you like the song! I’ve still got a lot of work to do before it’s officially done though, so don’t get too attached to the demo version! :)

Yes. I watched Disenchanted last night and I have thoughts about it.

SPOILERS AHEAD

I really, really liked it. It still was funny, but did bring a little bit of darkness into it (Giselle realizing that she's turning into a wicked stepmother, and that Robert is going on quests that are way over his head just to be possibly killed, and all of Andalasia dying).

Amy Adams is phenomenal. The range that she portrayed Giselle is just wow.

James Marsden stole the show with his loveable Edward.

Seeing the dynamic with Giselle and Morgan was great. I "enjoyed" (broke my heart) that Morgan feels left out when Nancy and Edward present the wishing wand to Sofia and claim a true Andalasian can use it. Thinking about how much Morgan believed in Giselle and she's not considered a true daughter is crushing. Obviously, that wasn't the intention of Nancy and Edward, but it came off that way.

THE SONGS WERE AMAZING! First off, Patrick Dempsey singing made me smile. Morgan has a great singing voice. "Badder" is such a good villain song and I bet they both had fun recording that

But obviously, the showstopper is "Love Power." Idina's range is awesome. And for the people wondering, she held that last note for almost 14 seconds.

The animation was great to see. Disney does need to go back to do 2D animation.

Also, one of the memories we saw was Giselle's and Robert's wedding. I would love, love, love to see a short about that. And you could do it in 2D animation.

I can't wait to watch it again.

Okay so we know that Vince is not allowed to wield the chakkhurr bc he will fall over and/or be grounded by Sufford. What weapon(s) Does he end up with when he someday learns which end the hurty comes out of?

AUGH see i've been rotating this as well so i'm glad you're bringing this up again.

point 1 real quick, that little comment i made about sufford essentially made him into the arsenal master/weapons master of the Orbiter in my head now. this is actually perfect for him because out of the whole pack he is the MOST knowledgeable on actual combat. vince is a civilian, bruiser has a strong background in brawling but not much more, verica is a musician, and kali mostly just sets itself on fire in combat. sufford actually knows weapons. he's that nerd in the clan who can actually customise you a whole build from a vibe, a song, and "what damage type dyou like best"

OKAY to the actual subject.

i already mentioned that vince ends up picking up a pair of fang prime - daggers are easy, quick, not too hard to aim, and light. and the stance for them is so fun, rhythmic and almost like a dance, and he is much more familiar with that than combat, so. (i do not look at the enemies i am tearing through when i spam E on vince. i get distracted, sue me)

but like gun wise. hrgh. i always thought the braton or latron looked good with limbo (prime). braton is just a nice all-round starter auto rifle, right, so i imagine he gets to practice with it a lot and ends up just not ever wanting/needing bigger/badder guns. (i imagine warframes can try to increase their strength through working out or asking the helminth nicely but it's Very Difficult since getting warframed does severely limit the stuff you can change about yourself afterwards, so vince will absolutely never be anything like bruiser, for example, and will also probably never reach sufford's level, even if he would try his best, which he wouldn't for something like this)

secondary-wise i love the look of (ak)lato with him. idk. just a pistol, nothing too hard.

he also never really gets very far in weapons training purely because he just. doesn't like combat very much. and if he does have to go kill shit he much prefers to hang back and be a support frame in the sense of tactically baby jailing allies & enemies and popping cataclysm where it's needed. so he just. finds some guns that work for him and never bothers to look further? the daggers are more personal and genuine, because guns are for killing stuff far away which isn't very urgent, but if things are close enough that they're in dagger range, it is usually VERY urgent to kill those things

at least that's where i'm at with him right now :]

#i see you've been picking out weapon sets for your own guys #and i'd be interacting with it more if i actually Knew What Those Weapons Were sdjfhbgsjkdbgsdjg #but love to hear the reasoning nonetheless always #rift asks #vince #sufford #rift lore #oh yes we ARE keeping up with the tag system tonight bay bee #thank you for the ask >:)#on the mr grind journey ive noticed there are a LOT of guns which are not simply point and click and boolet goes #on the one hand this makes it Interesting #on the other hand it makes me grumpy bc im just trying to get through this please not another fucking glaxion #this one shoots grenades??? fine ill switch to my seco- LASERS??#FINE ill mel- GUNBLADE?????

I just watched Disenchanted for the second time, thoughts (and spoilers!) below the cut.

Ok, ok. I freaking love this movie! My family and I have been waiting 15 years for this sequel and it did not disappoint!! I was so little when Enchanted came out, and it was my absolute favorite. So much so that I still have the soundtrack memorized and watch the movie almost religiously every year. I think Disenchanted will also be a comfort movie too, since it is quickly rising in the ranks of my favorites.

The first thing I want to mention is the little nods to original Disney tales even from the opening credits. It uses the old style where the choir opens the film (stopped right around the 60’s/70’s but started all the way back with Snow White and I miss that so much can we bring that back?). It really got me in the mood, like i was small and watching my other favorite Sleeping Beauty. You can start seeing where the town already looks like a fairy tale with small hints at what will change when Giselle makes the wish. The three women who offer to help with Sofia are color coded to be Flora, Fauna, and Meriweather. There’s a freaking wishing well in the backyard that looks exactly like Snow White’s! The clock tower of course, and Melvina right away you pinpoint as the Evil Queen (that one wasn’t subtle). You have the two dumb henchmen, and the meet-cute for Morgan and Tyson (that's like my one thing, who names their kid tyson?!). So right away it feels like a classic Disney film from the 40's or 50's which honestly were some of my favorites (but that's another discussion post for another day lmao).

Next, the soundtrack. My family and I are music nerds, and we were hoping for any nod to the original. We appreciated the small “how does she know” in the beginning. You have to listen a little bit, but you hear it. “Nice” was heard from both my dad and I. I was a bit sad that nothing else made the cut, but I'm more glad that the new soundtrack was allowed to shine as it deserves. Alan Menken is the king of good Disney soundtracks (Tangled, Aladdin, Hunchback of Notre Dame, Beauty and the Beast, etc) and boy did he deliver. The new songs are so good, and they finally got the good sense to utilize Idina Menzel in a style where she really shines (Frozen didn’t quite hit this like Menken did. Here she sounds more like she did in Wicked 19/20 years ago just before Enchanted came out and the endings are much bigger than Frozen II or even Let it Go). James Marsden didn’t get as much singing attention in this one, but he was so good when he did. It made me want to rewatch him in Hairspray so I can listen to him some more. Maya Rudolph surprised me a bit, I'll admit. I didn't peg her as a singer, but she proved me wrong. Badder is such a good song. "Every good movie (musical) should have a tango" is also heard in my house often. These two women blend so well I almost can't tell who's singing what part when they're together. Amy Adams of course is a Goddess! Who I love!! I think she really found her sound in this (can you tell i go to music school lmao) and obviously she wouldn't sound the same as 15 years ago, but this fits her better in a way. She sounds more comfortable, and was able to show off more in Even More Enchanted (After the Wish). That's another Snow White nod, by the way, it mirrors pretty closely what she sings to the birds at the wishing well. All this to say, I instantly added all the songs to my Spotify, they have now become part of my walks to class. And no, I'm not ashamed of that. (continue later)

I don't know much about film and how it works, but my god there were some gorgeous shots and set design. You can tell there was a pretty big budget for this, and it shows. It was all just so beautiful to look at, and it seemed to flow along really well. There are always those camera angles or transitions you wish were smoother but I didn't see any. It was all very aesthetically pleasing, and I love that you can see Giselle's transformation into a wicked stepmother through her dresses and her hair. She starts the tale with a dress almost identical to her dress for "That's How You Know", and eventually goes full on Lady Tremaine. (I want that red dress so much holy shit) "My hair's so high! And my dress is so low, oh!" I love you Giselle never change please. And Pip's "I feel like the most superior being in the whole world". I have cats and that is so true, we laughed far too much at that line...

The plot!!!! I love this idea so so much! I remember throughout the years hearing rumors of what the plot was (well before we ever had a real announcement from Disney). From what I can recall, the plot was originally (or supposedly, anyway) that they all were living happily in NYC, but Morgan's biological mom came back into the picture and was trying to muck things up. I don't know how that would've worked, which is probably why it didn't go that way lmao. Anyway, this plot is so cool! And I wish that i could watch it again for the first time! I don't think I will ever react as genuinely as I did that first time with my parents. The acting is top notch, and Amy Adams really pulled out all the stops to convince us that there's two of her inside fighting for control. I like that even when the wish occurs, there's still a lot of nods to other tales. Morgan has a whole "Belle"-esque number while dressed like her, and they even have her plot match Cinderella (mostly). Disney definitely did the same thing here with Morgan that they did with Andy in Toy Story 3. The kids who were roughly Morgan's age (like me) who have grown up with Enchanted are now adults in their late teens or twenties, and are maybe struggling to find themselves and what that means. My mom and I were definitely not crying (and by that, I mean, we bawled like children) at the end where Giselle reassures Morgan that she is her daughter, and that her love for her has power. That's something that I (and I'm assuming just about everyone else my age) needed to hear. Even if it wasn't from my own mother, I know the sentiment was shared. And even Robert's feelings of time slipping away from him and his hopelessness resonated with me and I'm guessing others too.

In conclusion, this was a fantastic movie, and the sequel Enchanted deserves. An amazing plot, excellent soundtrack, and beautiful design. I couldn't have asked for a better way to suitably sate my nostalgia while giving me a whole new movie to love. People can criticize me all they want, but it won't change the fact that this movie is brilliant and one of my new absolute favorites.

(what my family sees sometimes when they look at me and my cats)

ask game: Catwoman....

SHEEEEEE okay sorry in advance to my kravitz for the image one i had a major bisexual moment watching batman returns

favorite thing about them: the way she so fiercely respects herself and knows what she's capable of and what direction she mostly wants to go in and what she's working for, be that the people of gotham or just herself! i think after a life of hardships she should get to be as quote unquote selfish as she likes

least favorite thing about them: she gets. SO much bad dialogue

favorite line: genuinely? 'because he's my father' from batman 2022. it's not powerful on its own but the way she said it made me INSTANTLY burst into tears right then and there. on the spot like choking back sobs in the cinema

brOTP: selina/harvey i think it could work but under very specific circumstances. btw lonely city isn't real to me

OTP: ivycat.... im sorry they're such good exes they'd be soooo interesting the way their moralities diverge and how ivy outstrips her as a rogue and selina goes through a smaller scale version of what bruce went through with harvey as she watches someone she cares about become unrecognisable and then ivy leaves her in the dust for bigger, badder friends... and they were also inlove! but also she should eventually get over it and they should meet for drinks every so often

nOTP: uhh whatever they were doing in batman returns. just all of it

random headcanon: the inside of her cowl(?) is silk lined to protect her hair and also prevent breakouts. but only later on

unpopular opinion: i think it's fun when she says meow IM SORRY

song i associate with them: head over heels by abba just trust me on this one

favorite picture of them:

[ID: picture of selina kyle from batman returns wearing a black turtleneck under a dark grey coat. she's looking up through her hair with a quietly furious expression on her face /end ID]

look. this is the top ONE image of all time that makes me feel attracted to women holy fuck. breath left my body when i saw this for the first time

#THANK YOUU i have suck fucked catwoman opinions i think

Yo Gotti and Angela Simmons Step into the New Year as a Couple [Photos + Video]

January 01, 2023 10:53 AM PST

Yo Gotti really manifested the woman of his dreams when he rapped about Angela Simmons in 2016.

via: HipHopDX

The Memphis rap mogul and daughter of Run-DMC legend Rev Run confirmed their long-rumored relationship with a romantic New Year’s Eve photoshoot on Saturday (December 31).

Gotti posted a video on Instagram showing Simmons in a black dress and evening gloves posing next to a Rolls-Royce. “You looking good,” he tells the Growing Up Hip Hop star after wishing her a happy New Year, to which she replies: “Mmmm thanks.”

The clip then cuts to the couple in the back of the luxury ride toasting to 2023 over a glass of champagne. “Ain loss a crush since High School,” Gotti captioned the post, which was soundtracked by Lil Baby and Fridayy’s “Forever.”

The CMG boss also showed his gentleman side by posting a photo of him escorting Angela Simmons out of the car and holding an umbrella over her head, followed by a shot of him squeezing her derrière with both hands as they share a kiss.

Simmons also made their relationship Instagram official by sharing a series of flicks from their photoshoot. One post captured them looking every bit the power couple as they posed inside and next to their Rolls-Royce on their way to a New Year’s Eve party.

“You are all I need and more,” she wrote in the caption.

Gotti and Simmons rang in the New Year by watching fireworks on a boat, as seen in footage posted on their respective Instagram Stories.

Yo Gotti and Angela Simmons have been romantically linked for years, with Gotti famously professing his love for the model/reality TV star on his 2015 hit “Down in the DM.”

“And I just followed Angela (Simmons) / Boy, I got a crush on Angela Simmons / They like, ‘Damn Gotti, you bold’ / Fuck it, I’m gon’ let the world know (goals),” he rapped on the song, which peaked at No. 13 on the Billboard Hot 100.

The CM10 rapper also lusted over Simmons on his 2017 “Save It For Me” collaboration with Chris Brown, admitting her engagement to Sutton Tennyson at the time only made him want her more.

“Passed my number to Angela / I thought I had her / Her n-gga cuffed her, married, it made me madder/ I respect it, I’m moving on, but the truth is I want her badder / Maybe me sayin’ her name made him move faster,” he spit.

Disenchanted - My thoughts

I am honestly a big fan of Enchanted. It was a gloriously delightful fantasy, which turned tropes upside down in the right way with a fantastic performance from Amy Adams, who became a favorite of mine. This was arguably her big mainstream breakout success as a lead, even though she had been working for about 7-8 years in films before that. I felt that a sequel to the movie was a long time coming so I was pretty excited when it was announced. It was tempered when I saw the reviews were mixed and it was straight to Disney+, which is not a great sign. So it took me a while to get around to it. Having seen it, I feel that it is a letdown compared to the first, but still passable entertainment.

Unfortunately, the decision to make the film a musical works against it. The basic concept of Giselle making a wish that accidentally starts slowly turning her into a villain, while exploring the complicated dynamics between a stepmother and daughter is strong and ripe for good emotion. Unfortunately, the film gets derailed by a song every few minutes and the songs themselves aren't all that great. There are a few that are fun, like 'Badder', which is enjoyable to watch because Amy Adams and Maya Rudolph are having a lot of fun performing it. But nothing else stands out. It feels Idina Menzel got a song because it is Idina Menzel in the role. Whereas Enchanted was a movie which had a few songs in it and it gave enough time for the story to develop between the songs, here the story keeps getting interrupted by the songs. The film never really makes good use of the mother-daughter dynamic until the very end. I feel a bit more concentration on the transformation to evil for Giselle and more development on the mother-daughter dynamic would have made the film a lot more emotionally gripping.

A lot of the side characters are wasted as well. Certainly, James Marsden, who was a delight in the first movie, is barely in this film. It feels like he shot his portion of the film in one afternoon. Idina Menzel is not in it all that much more. Basically just there to sing. Patrick Dempsey is also largely wasted in a substory that doesn't really resonate because the film doesn't do all that much to set up his personal predicament. Also, it feels noticeably low budget when it came to the small animated sections. Enchanted clearly put in more money to have better animation as compared to Disenchanted.

That being said, despite the criticisms I have, the film is reasonable enjoyable. The concept at its core is fun, to have a character that is so inherently good as Giselle, turning into a wicket step mother against her will. A lot of the humor in the movie comes out of Giselle snapping in and out of being the wicked stepmother and then finally embracing that side of her. There is fun to be had in watching Maya Rudolph playing an evil queen and facing off against Amy Adams. Also, whenever the film does focus on the Giselle and Morgan dynamic, the film does work emotionally. And again, it feels like a big missed opportunity. The film talks about memory trees and the magic they possess but the film never delves into the memories of Morgan growing up as a kid with Giselle as her stepmother and why those memories are so important. The production value, outside of the animation, is very good. The costumes and the sets are all great. Its a colorful and vibrant film and isn't stretched out too long. I think it was the right length for a film like this. Like I said, a few songs could have been removed and replaced by a bit more conventional narrative story.

The performance by Amy Adams is probably the biggest reason why the film remains enjoyable. She is clearly having a lot of fun in the role, by playing wicked. She manages to chew scenery but also deliver some heartfelt moments. Maya Rudolph also gets to chew scenery with aplomb. Gabriella Baldacchino is lovely as Morgan. She probably has the meatiest role in the film apart from Amy Adams. Yvette Nicolle Brown and Jayma Mays are fun as Malvina's assistants/servants. Patrick Dempsey and James Marsden have a few funny moments in their relatively limited roles. Idina Menzel gets an opportunity to show off her voice, which is great as always.

Adam Shankman does an adequate job. I think the issue really came down to the decision of it being a full blown musical without the songs being of high enough quality. That is what derails the movie for me. I might have been a bit harsher if I had seen this film in a theater, but watching on streaming, I think this was a 6/10.

Songs like rihanna skin

"Wait Your Turn" and "Hard" were written by The-Dream, who also wrote her enormous 2007 hit "Umbrella." Though Rihanna is listed as a co-writer on "Russian Roulette," the singer and songwriter Ne-Yo brought it to her almost completed. 23 release, were written by a who's-who of pop and R&B songwriters of the moment. The first three leaked songs from Rihanna's Rated R, scheduled for a Nov. All of their biggest hits were written by somebody else. It's hard to listen to new songs from Chris Brown and Rihanna and imagine that they're pouring their hearts out to their fans. That's a complex conversation for the pop charts. But what I do hear in their music is Rihanna saying, "I will not be humiliated by the events of the past year," and Brown replying, "Despite the awful violence you've seen, I want you to think I'm still lovable." Rihanna and Brown are probably not creating a dialectical mixtape writ large for us all to hear.

The pain here isn't sexy it just sounds like pain. But I don't know if Brown can do sweet longing anymore. "Everybody says we're through," he sings, adding, "I hope you haven't said it, too." OK, so he's not over it. "You can see it through my chest / that I'm terrified, but I'm not leaving / I know I must pass this test." Then, a gunshot is heard on the track.Īfter that gunshot, the very next day, Brown introduced a love ballad called "Crawl." "You can see my heart beating," Rihanna sings. It's about surviving an impossible situation. Rihanna's next single was "Russian Roulette." It is not a love song. It made me think, "I guess he's forcing himself to move on." But Rihanna doesn't sound done. He doesn't smile once as he hammers out the track. In the "I Can Transform Ya" video, Brown is dancing, surrounded by his trademark Lamborghinis. In late September, he released the tight, unapologetic pop song "I Can Transform Ya." Rihanna's back, and she's badder than ever.īut Chris Brown is back, too. In the video, she looks hard, and you can't mess with her. She headlines Jay Z's single "Run This Town," and she owns the track. Rihanna came back to the charts late this summer. Listening for a hidden message in every word. I'm scrutinizing every song and video like a mixtape my crush gave me in tenth grade. For months, neither one released any new music. And the idea that sweet-faced Chris Brown could have done that to her? In the stunned silence that followed, we waited for them to explain themselves. The picture that circulated on the internet of Rihanna's face all busted up was almost irreconcilable with her perfect popstar image. So last winter's ugly violence was unbelievable. They had been like the prince and princess of pop R&B. Rihanna will finally talk on TV during Good Morning America Thursday, but it might be possible to pick up on how Brown and Rihanna are doing via their music. In late August, he was sentenced to five years' probation for felony assault. Back in February, Rihanna's boyfriend, Chris Brown, beat her up as they were heading to perform at the Grammy Awards.

Over the past several months, TV shows have been clamoring to interview the pop singer Rihanna, but to no avail. Are Rihanna and Chris Brown sending each other notes over the airwaves?

LISTEN UP!

Mike posted some lore on Smasher (thanks bestie!) & Gray/Mike were also super sweet to respond to some of my questions in their AMA! SO LETS GO!

Look Listen here my loves, my beautiful loves.

so lets begin on Mikes post because I HAVE A LOT to say on this.

So Biopod = Brain Spine confirmed 100%. I think this is covered in one of the books but I don’t actually have it with me rn! ALSO THIS IS WHAT THESE ARE! These are the cyberplugs! I’ve been wanting to know wtf they were for so long!

so them little things wires plugs TUBES WHATEVER. I just wanna HNNG HRRR RAAAHH rip one out just to see.

BACK ON TRACK!

“Adam by 2014 has jumped through several bodies”

OKAY so this I think is pretty obvious because in a way a Frame is like a “house”. Sometimes after a few years you just need a move y’know? You need to move to something bigger and better! And Adam ALWAYS wants whats bigger and badder!

He pretty much stopped using more humanoid bodies post 4th corp war

Like Gray said, “adam is a living weapon”. OK SOOO UHH. I believe that Adam by that point after witnessing so much death and destruction that HE has caused, that he no longer considers HIMSELF a human. Adam KNOWS he is a weapon he KNOWS he is a living vessel of destruction. I can’t help but think of this quote and cool ass story btw which is really neat

Takes on his multi-armed form and says, 'now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.

Heavily modified Dragoon

Called it not even surprised! I knew ITTTTTTTTT AHHHHH!

Good Ol Boy southern accent

Listen besides the fact I’ve been posting more about my southern bullshit & uhhh dragoon lore (HMMMMMM) I cannot help but smile BECAUSE WHAAAAAT bestie Mike!!!

Oh and this song popped up in my head I LOVE IT! Give it a listen for your OTP!

THE VAMPIRE LESTAT COVER ALBUM - the legendary Vampire Lestat is back and bigger and badder than ever, this time bringing a whole album of song covers ranging from classic bangers to newer fresh takes on chart hits! get your copy now, complete with a transcript of the artist's commentary on each song!

(songs I think Lestat would cover and release as an album in an attempt to re-kickstart his career and/or make some sort of dramatic statement to Louis. tracklist and "artist commentary" under the cut)

Survival - Muse

“And I’ll reveal my strength, to the whole human race, yes I am prepared, to stay alive, and I won’t forgive, and vengeance is mine, and I won’t give in, because I choose to thrive! Yeah I’m gonna win!”

Oh, I wish this song had been around back on that opening night at the Cow Palace - how apt that would have been! What a fucking anthem! They would have been rioting all night. I mean, they already were, but, like, because of the music. Not because vampires were being immolated in the middle of the crowd. Different kind of riot.

The Bitch Is Back - Elton John

“I’m a bitch, I’m a bitch, oh the bitch is back, stone cold sober as a matter of fact, I can bitch, I can bitch, ‘cause I’m better than you, it’s the way that I move, the things that I do!”

One day I want to have this play as I walk into Night Island. I’ll time it perfectly so that I throw off my coat - my denim jacket, or- oh, no, a fur! Maximum drama! - just as the chorus starts. Armand will know that I’m coming of course, but I think that’ll just make it even better. And I have good memories to this song... [muffled question] Sorry, gentlemen don’t kiss and tell, bébé. [laughter]

Everybody Loves Me - OneRepublic

"Oh my, feels just like I don’t try, look so good I might die, all I know is everybody loves me, head down, swaying to my own sound, flashes in my face now, all I know is everybody loves me”

Look, do I even need to explain this one? Didn’t think so.

Bad Reputation - Joan Jett

"I don't give a damn ‘bout my reputation, I've never been afraid of any deviation, and I don't really care if you think I'm strange, I ain't gonna change - and I'm never gonna care bout my bad reputation"

This one's fairly self-explanatory again. It could have been my personal anthem when I was mortal quite honestly. And it's an awful lot of fun to jump about and headbang to, don't you think? That's a new thing I've found out about, headbanging. People have been hopping about to music looking like fools for centuries but now there's a name for it. Fantastic.

bad guy - Billie Eilish

"I’m that bad type, make your mama sad time, make your girlfriend mad type, might seduce your dad time… I’m the bad guy. Duh.”

Creepy? Check. Sexy? Check. Tongue-in-cheek? Check check. This song was great and a lot of fun to cover.

Lover to Lover - Florence + the Machine

“I believe there’s no salvation for me now, no space among the clouds, and I feel I’m heading down, but that’s alright, that’s alright, that’s alright”

I don’t know, this one just felt very relevant. Also the piano was great to do. You might have noticed that I’ve picked a lot of songs with piano, and that’s because I bullied the studio into getting me a goooooorgeous grand piano for the recording space and I wanted to use it as much as possible!

Feeling Good - Muse

“Stars when you shine, you know how I feel, scent of the pine, you know how I feel, oh freedom is mine, and I know how I feel”

I just really like this song - I’ve done a cover of an excellent cover! Can- can you put emojis in this? Do people still use emojis? Well imagine I’ve put the shrug one. Wait, isn’t there- Daniel, Daniel, come here, isn’t there a shrug emoji made up of keyboard- [muffled words] yes! The shrug one! Yes, put that in the transcription. [ ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ] I just like this song.

The Man - The Killers

“I got gas in the tank, I got money in the bank, I got news for you baby, you're looking at the man, I got skin in the game, I got a household name, I got news for you baby, you're looking at the man”

I feel like this one speaks for itself too. Can you put that shrug emoji thing in here again? [ ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ] Yes!

J'ai Pas Envie - MIKA

J'ai pas envie, de faire comme si, comme les maris, qui disent oui, j'ai pas envie, j'ai pas envie, j'ai pas envie d'te faire plaisir, j'ai pas envie, j'ai pas envie, si tu m'aimes viens me le dire"

Look, I'm not going to translate the whole song for you, because it has all this clever wordplay you just totally lose in english… but the gist of it is that these two lovers are… at odds a lot. It's… it's maybe a little spiteful [laughter] but in a fun way! It's a fun song! Louis won't even be mad about it, it's MIKA.

Good Old-Fashioned Lover Boy - Queen

"When I'm not with you, think of you always (I miss those long hot summer nights), when I'm not with you, think of me always, always"

[Long pause] God, I miss Freddie.

Let 'Em Talk - Kesha

Ah, full disclosure - I put this song in purely because of the expression Louis made when I played it in the car and it got to the line “can suck my dick” and she did that popping noise… it was incredible, and I just knew I had to cover it so I could see his expression when I said that. I can’t wait to play it to him. [laughter]

So What - P!nk

"So so what, I'm still a rockstar, I got my rock moves, and I don't need you, and guess what? I'm having more fun, and now that we're done, I'm gonna show you tonight, I'm alright, I'm just fine, (and you're a tool, so)"

I'm actually a big fan of nineties and noughties female stars - all that grrrrrrrl power, it's great fun, you know? I'd say this one is fairly self-explanatory, because I am still a rockstar! This is my new album! Fuck you EMP and your sniffy little article calling me "washed up"!

Little Lion Man - Mumford & Sons

"But it was not your fault but mine, and it was your heart on the line, I really fucked it up this time, didn't I my dear?"

This one could be self-deprecating, but it's also very vindictively angry at the same time, and that's a combination I definitely get. Like, oh, it's my fault, isn't it? It's my fucking fault again, what a surprise. Perhaps "learn from your mother or you'll spend your days biting your own neck" is a little on the nose… [muffled words] you've read my books, right? [muffled words] Good, good.

Missy - The Airbourne Toxic Event

"But I swear there's still some good in me, I think if you'd stuck around you'd see, all the botched attempts at integrity I once had"

Oh, I was feeling philosophical when I picked this one. No, philosophical isn't the right word… melancholy? Do people still use that word? "I swear I swear I swear I'll never get sad" is both furiously defiant and yet so self-defeatingly ironic. [Exasperated noise] Enough of that. Next!

Please Don't Leave Me - P!nk

"I don't know if I can yell any louder, how many times have I kicked you out of here, or said something insulting? I can be so mean when I wanna be, I am capable of nearly anything, when my heart is broken… (please, please don't leave me)"

Oh, we’re… we’re getting to this section now. [clearing throat] Well, I have to make up for that sucking dick line, don’t I? Get a bit vulnerable. Oh God, why did I decide to do this bit? [muffled words] [bad chicago accent] But why buy the cow? Because you love him, you really do. [sigh, laughter]

Next To Me - Imagine Dragons

"Oh, I always let you down, shattered on the ground, still I find you there, next to me, and oh, the stupid things I do, I'm far from good it's true, still I find you, next to me"

Why did I- I don’t remember putting so many of these ones in.

Run To You - Pentatonix

"I've been settling scores, I've been fighting so long, but I've lost your war, and our kingdom is gone... how shall I win back your heart which was mine? I have broken bones and tattered clothes, I've run out of time"

[Sigh] [clears throat] Yeah. I think we can move onto the next one.

Love of My Life - Queen

“Love of my life, don't leave me, you've stolen my love, you now desert me, love of my life, can't you see? Bring it back, bring it back, don't take it away from me, because you don't know, what it means to me”

I play this one sometimes on my baby grand when we've had a fight, and it's impossible for him to stay angry. He's a sucker for this sort of… formality in romance. God, I wish I'd realised that earlier. If I'd written him a letter in fancy copperplate script with scented paper and enclosed rose petals politely requesting him to bend me over his desk back in the day, it might not have taken two centuries of mutual blue balls for us to figure our shit out. Ah well, live and learn… as it were. [muffled words] Look, I did a whole bunch of vulnerable songs! Now I get to make sex jokes! [laughter] oh fuck off.

moze :3c

The Manlet, the Myth, the Legend

favorite thing about them

cockyass son of a bitch who's like 3 inches tall

least favorite thing about them

dirty ass fingers

favorite line

Moze has sooo many good ones I've actually been compiling a list lately lol

Some of my favorites:

“Oh I’m rollin’ the dice. And you’re comin’ up snake eyes. ...Wait, that’s a bad roll, right?? Whatever, you’re gonna die.”

“Hey, I’m charming as SHIT! Anyone who says otherwise is getting a brick through their window!”

“Get over here, dickweeds!”

“We’ll see who has the badder ass.”

[sounding slightly unhinged] Haha, your insides are on your outsides now!”

[upon finding out Maurice ate a guy] “Hell yeah, comrade! Each the rich!”

[after respawning] “Alive AGAIN?! I CAN’T AFFORD THIS!”

[looking at ancient Eridian glyphs] “Blah blah, alien crap, whatever.”

“I’ve always wanted to shoot down the moon...hanging in the sky like that...mocking me.”

brOTP

(i'm going to respond to these as if you Don't already know every single thing I'm going to say, lol)

toss-up between Lorelei and Ava! Lorelei because they definitely seem like they would realistically be friends, and Ava needs an older sibling figure to look out for 'em. I feel like Ava would begrudgingly respect Moze enough to listen to him (might take an ass-kicking or two to get to that point, though LOL).

random but I also like the idea of Ava having a growth spurt and ending up taller than Moze, which Ava LOVES and Moze HATES

OTP

Mechrogunner [Moze/Gaige]

It started out as a crack ship but now I'm soo invested lol, I love them as a pair of oddballs who can sympathize with each other being alone, on the run, and considering a machine their best friend. The way Moze teases Gaige in GLAT is so cute, too. Plus I love that they're both so tiny lol. They're forever locked in a competition of who can find the tallest pair of combat boots to declare themselves the biggest person in the relationship

nOTP

Tbh I'm pretty open with Moze ships... other than like, Ava obviously, I don't think there are too many characters I'd be opposed to shipping him with

random headcanon

Having been raised since birth in a communal and strict militaristic setting (word of god says his entire family is military and that he grew up "snuggling an Iron Bear plushie", so), after the events of Darzaran Bay happen Moze is just...lost. He has no idea how to exist as just 1 person out on their own with no strict schedule or routine. Before joining the Raiders, between the heavy weight of trauma and the feeling like he had nothing left to contribute to the world, he had strongly considered just ending his own life. Canon implies he still struggles with suicidal thoughts, but I want to believe he will get better and heal in time, especially now that he's got a new "family" to be a part of.

unpopular opinion

I would say Moze being transmasc, but considering The Moze Fandom is like, you and me, plus Lenti and Ciaran Strange both like and support that headcanon, idk if it's really so unpopular lol!

song i associate with them

"In the Army Now" by Sabaton. Actually a bunch of Sabaton songs tbh, but that one has my favorite lyrics for Moze

favorite picture of them

the Rembrandt promotional art for BL3 :')

Send me a character!

#thanks dude c:#borderlands #moze the gunner #suicide ment

Obey Me! One Master to Rule Them All! Headcanon #11

Yes! YES!!! I live for this! Thank you @nomnomcupcakesworld for this wonderful ask!

This can be a continuation of the Headcanon where MC is...

A Dancer~!

So MC has been O B S E S S E D with WAP for a while and he decided to learn the choreography, learn the steps, and dance to the song. The music is bumping on repeat in his room, so naturally, the brothers have to investigate exactly where is this music coming from. And they get to see MC in his element, and in his high-heeled glory. (This might be PG-13, so viewer descretion is advised)

Lucifer: “There’s some hoes in this house. There’s some hoes in this house!” Was all Lucifer kept hearing as he was doing paperwork. He decided to take a break, if only to find out what that racket was. He expected it to be coming from Asmo’s room, but stopped and grew a bit scared as he found that it was coming from your room. After knocking, he opened the door and his eyes widened and his face flushed as he saw you, wearing high heel kinky boots, and a flashy, showy outfit dancing to this song. He finally got to hear the lyrics a lot clearer, and he was surprised. He was surprised that you had the ability to dance like this, so provocative... made him think such impure thoughts... especially when you had your back to the floor, legs raised up, and your pelvis thrust up and down and back up. You then did a split and finally noticed Lucifer watching half terrified, half impressed. Terrified cause he had never seen this side of you. He then tries to play it off and say, “That split was done in sloppy form, but keep it up, and you’ll get there.” Before closing the door. But the truth was that he was already there himself~.

Mammon: Had just got home from causing a ruckus as usual. He was about to go to his room, when he heard the music, he has heard this song multiple times at the club, and he began to step rhythmically toward the source of the sound, but then stopped in front of your room. Now he’s thinking there’s a party going on in your room, and how dare you not invite The Great Mammon to a party. He opens the door frantically when he sees you dancing the WAP choreography. He was already in a booty shakin mood with the song itself, but he saw you dancing and he was in awe. He saw how well you shook your butt, swung your hips, he was in love. But he called to you over the music, making you stop. “Hey! You’re learning new choreography but you didn’t invite me?!” You chuckle and apologize to him, and then you both basically have a bit of a impromptu date, spending the rest of the night, dancing together, eating together, and just having a good time.

Leviathan: He has been watching anime all day and he can’t hear what’s going on cause of WAP blasting in your room. He struts angrily up the stairs to tell you to keep it down, and as he walks into your room, he is instantly overwhelmed by the volume of the music, the sight of you giving a performance, and then by the feelings he gets from the everything as a whole. He got more blushy and flustered as he kept watching you dance, but it wasn’t until you had finished with the split, and gave him eye contact that he retreated back to his room. He didn’t come out for the rest of the night because his heart kept on pumping faster, but he did manage to text you, asking if you could turn the music down a bit, cause he couldn’t hear what was going on in the anime he was watching. You turned it down of course, but Levi couldn’t focus on the anime anymore that night.

Satan: Same as Levi, couldn’t get any reading done because the song was so loud. He went over to your room, and reluctantly opened the door. He was as surprised as Lucifer, watching you dance with such precision, such fluidity, and such control. He was having his own provoking thoughts, only he wasn’t flustered, he was bitin his lip with desire. And when you finished in a split and gave him eye contact, he gave a blush and smiled at you. “You are a masterful dancer, but I would much rather you dance like that for me... I wouldn’t want to share your talent with anyone, especially not my brothers.” You want to do a duet with Satan, but Satan doesn’t think that high heeled kinky boots would suit him. You insist that he at least try them on. Satan does, and he acts over it, but truth is, he has never felt like a badder bitch ever in his life.

Asmodeus: As soon as he heard “There’s some goes in this house,” he screams in his room and runs out of the room and into MC’s. He is living for the outfit, living for the boots, and for the moves. He snaps and claps at the end of your number, and he is in absolute awe with you and dancing to this song. He wants to learn the song with you so you two can own the club again. Nightly training started tomorrow night, and by that time, Asmo had gotten a matching outfit and kinky boots but in pink. You both worked hard and Asmo tried different make up looks every night to make sure you both would be ready for both of your re-debuts. You even help Asmo stretch and have him be ready to do a split. Although you did have to teach Asmo how to twerk...

Beelzebub: He heard it coming from your room, and wasn’t until he heard the “Macaroni in a pot” line when he decided to check it out. By that time, the song had restarted, and you were taking it from the top. Beel was mesmerized as he watched you do your thing, he was eating while he watched you, and watching your butt jiggle reminded him of jello a bit. But he was captivated, and clapped when you did the split and gave him eye contact. He said that he was glad you were having fun, and had a suggestion: that for a full body workout, that you both try out a WAP pole dancing routine. You were all for it, as it was also a good opportunity to try out a new dance style. You both learned pole dancing together and got even closer.

Belphegor: Couldn’t get to nap because of your music. You had always made sure that he was sleeping before you started, because he was hard to wake up once he was asleep. But you had forgotten, and he was on his way to tell you off. But, he was as mesmerized as Beel was when you danced to this song. When you hit the split and gave eye contact to Belphie, you were scared because you realized you didn’t check to see if Belphie was asleep, and started apologizing profusely. Belphie said he would consider accepting your apology if you were willing to try out a bit of contemporary ballet duet choreography with this song. Of course Belphie wanted any and all excuses to be close to you, and you loved to give him the opportunity to be closer.

#obey me #one master to rule them all #headcanon #obey me headcanons #rated: pg13 #obey me main character #obey me lucifer #obey me mammon #obey me leviathan #obey me satan #obey me asmodeus #obey me beelzebub #obey me belphegor #wap #dancer mc #dancer #i love them all #i hope you enjoy #submission
