As I already said, Oliver is a teddy bear: he is so lovely and soft im crying. We already saw how he is when he meets stars, so the first thing I'd think abt Oliver's form of love would be hugging. He would hug you whenever he can, no matter the situation: for example, if u are sad or not feeling good he'd hug you tight and whisper smth like "Hey, don't worry, I'm here with you okay?" or just a simple "I love you" (simple but full of love uwu). He would hug you after a long day at school/work, while you are cooking dinner for the two of you, and even while you sleep. He just wants you to know that he loves you a lot and that he is beside you.

𝐊𝐚𝐧𝐞: 𝐜𝐮𝐝𝐝𝐥𝐞𝐬

I think Kane and Oliver would have similar forms of love: Oliver's is hugs, and Kane's is cuddles. Cuddles, cuddles, cuddles, this is what goes on Kane's mind whenever he sees you. Like Oliver, Kane just wants to make sure that you know he is and he will always be right there for you, but also he likes to see your body wrapped in his arms (it makes him the happiest human being living). He loves to cuddle, especially before going to sleep because he has the opportunity to protect you while you sleep. He would pet your hair, hug you tight, and whisper romantic ass things to you, such as "I love you so much" "you make me so happy" etc. You better marry this man or I'll go after you 😤😤

𝐒𝐞𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐧: 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐟𝐮𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮

We know how is Sebastian, and honestly, I think he would show his love for you not by doing smth romantic like Oli or Kane, but by making fun of you (not seriously). He would do it if you are shorter than him, or for things that happened in the past. You would complain and tell him it's not funny, but this mf finds you so cute when you get mad, especially when you pout and go away angry (he'd do it on purpose no cap). Sometime you'd stop talking to him and he would do anything to make you talk to him again- i mean it. He may be annoying as hell sometimes, but he just wants you to know he loves every imperfection of you ngl this is a weird way tho

𝐑𝐲𝐚𝐧: 𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐤𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬

When we think about Ryan one of the first things that come into our minds, after the fact he is hot as fuck look at me simping lmao, is that he doesn't like skinship and affection, but YOU ARE WRONG GRR. Ryan himself told us that he likes PDA (his TikToks r a PURRFECT example fr). For example, once he said that he would put a pic of him and his s/o kissing as lockscreen, he even said he would kiss his s/o 24/7, so dont think he'll stay still cuz bruh he won't😭 NO BUT I WANT THIS😭😩 I think his forms of love would be kisses but also holding hand yk. This mf clearly said he loves kisses, so be ready to be attacked by his lips lmao😭😭 He would kiss your cheeks, your neck, your lips, your hands, your fingers, EVERYTHING, he loves to kiss you and he will always do that, no matter what. Maybe he won't kiss you that much when you are in public or when the members are around, but still. He'd probably kiss your hands randomly, but mostly when you two are holding hands I fucking want this holy shit: he'd hold your hand randomly, just because he wants to feel your presence. He'd do it while you two are hanging out, while driving, or when you are cuddling on his bed. Please please please show him affection or I'll do it back off LMAO he will play valo for a whole day😟😟 (straight)

𝐉𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧: 𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬

Like Ryan, I think Justin would show his love by holding hands. He wants you to know he is with you and that he will never leave your side, no matter what. He wants you to be conscious that he loves you to death, and that you are one of the most important people in his life. He would hold your hands especially when you are feeling nervous, or there's something big coming (such as graduation, meeting parents and friends, etc) and he'd probably tell you something like "Don't worry about it, you'll make it" "I'm right here, dont worry okay?" or just a simple "I love you" in a very comfortable way. He loves to see your small hand holding his, he finds it really cute uwu. Holding hands makes him really happy and better, so please hold his hands whenever you can:((

𝐑𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐞: 𝐥𝐞𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐜𝐥𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐬

It may sound pathetic as hell, but Regie would let you wear his clothes. He loves to see your lil body in his clothes, he finds it hilarious🧍‍♀️ "LMAO BABE YOU ARE SO TINY HAHA" 🧍‍♀️🧍‍♀️ anyWAYS- It all started when you slept at his place and the next morning you put on his hoodie cuz it was cold and your dumb ass forgot to bring a sweater, since then Reg's obsession started😭 He'd do anything just to see you wearing clothes of his, and I mean it: for example, he'd hide your clothes and act like he does not know a thing. "Regie where are my clothes??" "I don't know, well since you can't find them you can wear mine". He even left some of his clothes at your place, in case you want to wear them. If he tells you to wear them, dont complain, just do it, you'll make him the happiest. MY HEARTEU

𝐃𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐧: 𝐜𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮

Darren fought so hard to get a partner 💀 that now he doesn’t want to ruin anything (you are basically stuck with him LMAO HELP-🤡🤡). He knows too damn well you love the food he cooks, so he would cook for you almost every day give me a Darren pls. He’d cook for special occasions (such as birthday, mensiversary, graduation or/and meeting your parents) or even randomly, you know, just because he loves you so much. Speaking of parents, after eating Darren’s food they’d probably tell you to marry him asap😭😭😭 no but fr they’d be speechless who wouldn’t bruh

DO NOT STEAL MY WORK!!

Thank you @shutterbug-12 for the tag!

TAG GAME: EIGHT SHOWS TO GET TO KNOW ME

Going in order of oldest to newest. And I'm only including shows that have a complete run, so there's that. (that's not a rule, I just did that for me)

MASH

I don't always love a sitcom, but watching MASH was a family activity. Growing up we had one TV, it was before the internet and home computers, so we watched what Dad chose usually (more on that later). MASH was a lot of things, but mostly it taught me about being yourself in a group, that it was okay to be whatever you were and that you could make a family anywhere.

The Rockford Files

Jim Rockford, being witty and sarcastic but also a loving son and good friend, driving fast and solving cases as an ex-con Korean War vet in 1970s LA. What's not to love about all that? Dad really had an iron grip on the TV guide back in those days and for a kid some of the plots didn't make sense, but I have rewatched the whole series multiple times and I'm here to tell you, a lot of it holds up. What does it say about me? I guess it says that I really like car chases and easily solved mysteries wrapped up in some wide lapels. But also I guess that James Garner as Rockford is a blueprint for the kind of hero I enjoy (flawed but ulitmately kind and very loyal).

Twin Peaks

This is becoming about my Dad here, but this is another show that we both loved. Turns out, my Dad likes the weird stuff, too. This is the last show that we watched together regularly before I moved out. Narratively who knows wtf happens in any David Lynch joint, but that's not really the point to me. I love the absurd, dark, haunting elements it makes me think about. Sometimes it's incomprehensible and that's okay. Just like life.

Justified

The show that teaches you that dialogue makes the character. Boyd Crowder will forever be one of my favorite characters solely because of his dialogue (and Walton Goggins's delivery). Every character on this show has a distinct way of speaking and behaving and it is really one of the most enjoyable shows ever just for that reason. I have never dug coal, but I feel like I have after spending time with these characters. I guess this one says that I like realism sometimes? Also, a flawed but ultimately kind and loyal hero (Raylan Givens, meet Jim Rockford).

Orphan Black

I could go on for days about what this show means, but others have already done that better than I could, so I'll just say this: we all contain multitudes. Also, Tatiana Maslany should have won every acting award ever during her time on this show. Another show that made me think about how being yourself is really complicated sometimes and we don't always figure it out alone (found family, etc, etc).

Parks and Rec

A workplace comedy? On my list? Yes, and it's this one. Always makes me laugh and I see a bit of how I act with coworkers in a lot of the characters (not Leslie usually, but Ron frequently). Gently sending up living in the Midwest while not making fun of it, mostly. Lost count of how many times I've watched this one.

Ripper Street

A flawed yet ultimately kind and loyal hero, crime solving, my favorite era of history, some of the best dialogue on any TV show, interesting and twisty plots, one of my all-time favorite actors, incredible attention to detail, and a very satisfying ending not to mention one of the nicest, kindest, and welcoming fandoms. Did I mention found family and workplace comedy? That's there too. (Edmund Reid, Raylan Givens, and Jim Rockford walk into a bar...wait, I'm only one person, get in line boys) One of my desert island shows, my go-to in times of stress, the thing I always recommend to people looking for something good (so long as they can stomach blood, that is).

Did you get to know me? lol, well maybe you'll watch one of these if you haven't before and find a new favorite.

Tagging a few people (participation only by your choice ofc) or just do it if you feel moved! @lizardsarevcool @hickeywiththegoodhair @valoricky @watchfuldeer @jennykin @quinnfabreys @swankpalanquin

#mash #ripper street #orphan black #parks and rec #twin peaks #justified #the rockford files #tag game #let me know what you think this list says about me #I'm curious #or does it make you feel like you know more about me now?#this was really kind of hard to do #one thing I learned is that I can't count #there are only seven

@muses-of-kira asked:

💭 + Taivas (Sielu)

Things to Think About || ACCEPTING

"Taivas? You know what, that's actually a good question for me. I'm around him just enough to know him a bit, but maybe not quite enough to be biased, so I'd be a good person to ask.

Because, you know, lots of Mistericans know a thing or two, and sometimes the thing or two is to do with who's really good at other stuff. Where I grew up, there was like this... I dunno, a sense of awe at the Royal Knights. We respected them and, given how no one really wanted to or could learn to be summoners or even just mythics for one reason or another... Taivas was just short of a household name. He's got all sorts of cool shit he can do and he's the head of all the other Knights who also do really cool shit. And when you come from a place like I do, everyone's favorite subject in school is who can do what the best. The answer to that, a lot of times, is in fact Taivas.

But now I work in the palace and I see him around. I talk to him sometimes. And yeah, he can still totally do all sorts of really cool shit, but it's kinda... not necessarily lost the 'wow' factor, more that I can bridge the gap between him and myself a bit better, so he's not so... mythical, I guess? I'll have to ask Valo for a better word later, but back to the point - my opinion's changed a lot over the couple of years I've worked here.

Taivas is one of those people that I think is gonna hurt himself if he hasn't already. Not to say anything bad about Lord Aurinko of course, but I've never met anyone who's as tired as Taivas is. Yes, he's well-trained and smart, but now I can see the cost. It's sleep deprivation, it's stress, it's standing in one spot without moving for hours and hours at a time, it's managing this kingdom's whole military effectively while going through all this.

Taivas doesn't get a break. Not really. I left a folding chair outside Lord Aurinko's study about a week ago and I hope it's being put to use. The Royal Family - their guards included - serve the Misterican people all the time. Not only during the day, not only at night. All the time. It's a thankless job for all of them, and I think we as Mistericans from backgrounds that are totally removed from 'high society' or whatever you call it don't stop and think about what that means. Perceptual bias, right? Everyone's got it.

Taivas specifically, I still think he's cool. Who wouldn't? But I also know more now, and that's moved me more towards a sense of concern and respect than admiration. I can't make him rest no matter how worried I am, so the least I can do is say hello and drop off a snack or something.

I doubt either of us have the time to get or be extremely close, but... y'know, we don't have to be. Not everyone in your family is going to be known totally, but you still care for them and love them... and want them to sit down for just a minute sometimes."

I am being completely normal about quietly compiling a Devil's Minion playlist and chatting to @eosphoroz about it. Wanting to track it before I forget why I grabbed each of them.

AKA: I went and gave myself more than two hours of feels, and now need to talk about it.

Ended up being a bit of a fanfic rec along the way as well, if you stick with it 😅

Everybody Wants to Rule the World - Lorde cover (2013)

Daniel got everything he wants, coming to Lestat's house in New Orleans after his interview with the vampire. A vampire has found him here! Only, Armand is far more than Daniel bargained for.

Welcome to your life There's no turning back Even while we sleep We will find you

Let's Dance - David Bowie (1983)

I'll admit this one first found its way into my playlist because of this Daniel/Marius fanfic by the same name, written by @cup-of-lixx. (Just know it's not the song the author intended listened to along with it.)

But, fuck, if this isn't the song that goes hand-in-hand with the QotD, 'Go now, start running!' line, I don't know what to tell you.

If you say run I'll run with you And if you say hide We'll hide Because my love for you Would break my heart in two If you should fall into my arms And tremble like a flower

The Frail - Nine Inch Nails (1999)

In those moments when Daniel thinks Armand has lost Daniel's trail, he pauses to eat or drink something and struggles to learn to recoup his losses. Only then to find Armand staring at him from across the street, or from under that bus stop.

This little recognised piece is a 114 second instrumental without lyrics. But I feel the title and tone of the track perfectly incapsulate Daniel's human frailty in those moments he's forced to introspect on what his life has already become, and even Armand's last words to him.

"I am going to let you leave here. I want to follow you, watch you, see where you go. As long as I find you interesting, I won't kill you. And of course, I may lose interest altogether and not bother to kill you. You may have hope in that. And maybe, with luck, I'll lose track of you. I have my limitations, of course. You have the world to roam, and you can move by day. Go now. Start running. I want to see what you do, I want to know what you are."

Hurricane - 30 Seconds to Mars (2009)

That whole run and chase part of the story happens in a bunch of vignettes, doesn't it? Well, good thing I have a few other songs to cover this period of time. If the last one was from Armand's PoV, this is from Daniel's.

Do you really want? Do you really want me? Do you really want me dead or alive to torture for my sins?

Sacrament (Acoustic) - HIM (2003)

Is it possible to have a VC playlist without 'His Infernal Majesty' (omg). Never mind that Ville Valo and his host of songs remains my existing head canon for Lestat during his rockstar period, this song perfectly captures the pull Daniel begins to feel towards Armand before he's even come to accept it.

I know my weak prayers aren't enough to heal Oh the ancient wounds so deep and so dear The revelation is of hatred and fear

Way Out Of Here - Porcupine Tree (2007)

Once Armand starts letting Daniel out of his sight again—largely because Daniel starts demanding, begging, irritating about becoming a vampire—Daniel starts running away. That'll show Armand! Daniel thinks. Only, he begins to start to realise that his time with Armand isn't so easily forgotten as all that.

I'll try to forget you And I know that I will In a thousand years or maybe a week I'll burn all your pictures, cut out your face The shutters are down and the curtains are closed And I've covered my tracks Disposed of the car and I'll try to forget even your name And the way that you look when you're sleeping

Opheliac - Emilie Autumn (2006)

I already made a post on this, but the TL;DR is that this has both Daniel's dysfunction vs Armand's composure in the form of Shakespearean quotations as different viewpoints within the lyrics.

You know the games I play And the words I say When I want my own way You know the lies I tell When you've gone through hell And I say I can't stay

Wanna Be Sure - Aidan Hawken (2010)

Daniel always leaves, but he always comes back to Armand again. Daniel always leaves, but Armand takes him back again. Neither of them can help themselves.

I keep coming back To you everytime Washing the walls of the room that you slept And the place that you hide I wanna be sure That your hearts on fire And your gonna be pure And that your love is all mine

Video Games - Lana Del Rey (2012)

This one I feel viscerally whenever I read a fic where Daniel is high or drunk out of his mind and completely, completely devoted to Armand.

There are way too many of those to link here, it being the central canon theme.

He holds me in his big arms Drunk and I am seeing stars This is all I think of It's you, it's you, it's all for you Everything I do I tell you all the time Heaven is a place on earth with you

Bloodstream - Stateless (2007)

Boy, this one's a heart jerker brought across from another vampire fandom, also very much pressing on those themes of obsession and addiction.

I think I might've inhaled you I can feel you behind my eyes You gotten into my bloodstream I can feel you floating in me

Possession - Sarah McLachlan (1993)

And just because there's the tiniest hint of a sweetness in these years between our boys (although truthfully we do get more of it in fandom) it felt like this rounded out our trio of Daniel loves Armand more than he loves his own life songs, and sometimes Armand even knows it.

mercy in you by @apoptoses is a freakishly good example of a moment of the strange sweetness between them.

My body aches to breathe your breath Your words keep me alive And I would be the one To hold you down Kiss you so hard I'll take your breath away And after I'd wipe away the tears

I Grieve - Peter Gabriel (1998)

This song frequently pisses me right off. It's got this really sweet melody for like, the first 3/4 of it, and then it ends out on this ridiculously bop-hopeful melody completely at odds with the rest of it.

But today, when listening to it as a song that starts while Armand is coming to reconcile breaking his vow never to make a fledgling with his blood, followed by the false hope of what might come afterwards... it actually works fabulously.

And I can't handle this I grieve, for you You leave, me Let it out and move on Missing what's gone They say life carries on .... Did I dream this belief Or did I believe this dream? Now I will find relief I grieve

Bel Air - Lana Del Rey (2012)

The haunting melody playing in the background of the movie version of the mind vision of Venice that Armand creates for Daniel as he turns him, the last time before the veil of silence falls between them.

There's an argument with this song that the corruption of wealth as evil signified in a place like Bel Air could mean this place represents for Hell, which I gotta say is also On Point with Armand's warnings.

Don't be afraid of me Don't be ashamed Walk in the way of my soft resurrection Idol of roses, iconic soul I know your name Lead me to war with your brilliant direction

Hardest of Hearts - Florence and the Machine (2009)

I heard this song for the first time via this Armand/Lestat fanart by @martinijordan. What can I say, it also makes me think of Armand turning Daniel from his PoV.

My heart swells like the water at wait Can't stop myself before it's too late Hold on to your heart Because I'm coming to take you Hold on to your heart Because I'm coming to break you

Hero - Nickleback (2003)

Akasha has just been killed. Daniel's a vampire, Armand's a vampire, they're both alive and together, and for just one brief, shiny moment... it seems like everything between them is going to be just fine.

I am so high. I can hear heaven. No heaven, no heaven dont hear me. Now that the world isn't ending It's love that I'm sending to you.

Euphoria (Firefly) - Delirium (1999)

As a vampire, Daniel is suddenly exposed to senses unimaginable to his human self from before. It's intoxicating and raw in this new and completely different way that the alcohol, the drugs, they didn't even touch. Daniel was so, so right about this being the only thing he ever wanted.

I never want to loose What I have finally found There's a requiem A new congregation And it's telling me go forward And walk under a brighter sky Every nerve glowing like a firefly

It Can't Rain All The Time - Jane Siberry (1994)

Will I ever not also think of The Crow with this song? That movie with its many similar visual themes to VC. For me, this song is the very beginning of Daniel's madness after turning, before he realises it's not exactly a 'normal' part in the process of becoming a vampire.

Sometimes you can barely tell the difference Between darkness and light Do you have faith In what we believe? The truest test is when we cannot When we cannot see There's something wrong, and It's hard to belive that love will prevail

Anna Begins (Acoustic) - Counting Crows (1993)

Make An Exception, a Fucking Devastating fanfic by @hekateinhell, but also words that are present in the lyrics to Anna Begins.

So now I'm always thinking of Daniel's madness and this song together. (Go read this fic, it will tear your heart out and make you cry in the best way - note: this is also not the song that was intended for listening with this fic by the author.)

he's talking in his sleep It's keeping me awake and [Daniel] begins to toss and turn And every word is nonsense but I understand and Oh lord, I'm not ready

Bring Me the Disco King - David Bowie (2003)

Ahahaha, this is Armand railing at Daniel because he wants to leave, despite Armand determined that all fledglings are doomed to loathe their makers, and basically turning that into a self fulfilling prophecy that both of them must live through.

It was bad when Louis left him. It's gonna be 70,000,000 times worse with Daniel.

Killing time in the 70's Smelling of love through the moist wind Don't let me know when you're opening the door Close me in the dark, let me disappear Soon there'll be nothing left of me Nothing left to release Dance, dance, dance through the fire

The Wooden Boat - Miranda Sex Garden (1994)

Full on madness for Daniel. Not with Armand anymore, but immediately before Marius sweeps him up. Has anyone registered my love of the minor key for this playlist yet? Hnng.

Hear me out, there isn't going to be a 'The Model Trains' song. However, there is a 'The Wooden Boat' song, and it's just freaky and eerie with only three stanzas for over six minutes, growing into a crescendo of background noises that speak beautifully to Daniel's gradual overstimulation and the world becoming an impossible place for him to live in anymore.

Bonus: This can be followed by the title track, 'A Fairytale About Slavery' then 'Cover My Face', for maximum indie music mind fuck.

For a moment you were almost there Through your veil I saw you stare Follow me, I'll lead you through my dreams Let me share the only thing I call my own

Medicine - Daughter (2015)

I was listening to this on repeat and making myself cry while writing Daniel in his madness the other day (no I'm fine, thanks for asking).

Technically this is definitely well into the 'playing with model trains' timeframe for me, rather than Devil's Minion, but it definitely gives the same angst vibes so, screw it, I'm including it here.

You could still be, what you want to What you said you were, when I met you You've got a warm heart You've got a beautiful brain But it's disintegrating

Hello - Evanescence (2003)

Look, so Daniel is the Devil's Minion, so therefore any song that makes me think of him is still technically Devil's Minion.

Okay. So, if the last song is Marius watching over Daniel and being aware of his mental state, this is Daniel inside his own mind being incredibly aware of his own failing state, over which there's nothing he can do. Other than be conscious of it, which is actually a big step.

If I smile and don't believe Soon I know I'll wake from this dream Don't try to fix me I'm not broken Hello I'm the lie living for you so you can hide Don't cry

My Beautiful - Lennon ft. Travis Meeks (2001)

Every single incredibly unsatisfying phone call between Armand and Daniel whilst Daniel is still vacationing at the Marius Home for Wayward Vampires (term taken from the fanfic scars by @serenwanders)

You called, I answered, but baby I'm only half awake 'Hush little one, with you here everything is going to be okay,' Is all you say but what if things don't go that way? It's over, we both know, we're both tired of playing the parts I said, 'Goodbye,' you said, 'Oh well nothing's really lost,' Call every now and then just to hear your voice talk to me You still say, 'Everything's all right' But it's not and that's something you're too blind to see

Just Give Me A Reason - P!nk ft. Nate Ruess (2012)

A tiny bit of hope in the jungle, and another phone conversation no doubt. Marius is trying to convince Armand that, after all his time with Daniel now, from Daniel's perspective at least, it seems to him all is not lost.

Alternate take: This is Daniel absolutely shitting himself as he and Marius ready themselves for Daniel to see Armand in person again for the first time in decades.

Just give me a reason, just a little bit's enough Just a second we're not broken just bent And we can learn to love again I never stop, you're still written in the scars on my heart You're not broken just bent and we can learn to love again

Rolling in the Deep - Adele (2011)

Everything is so. freaking. polite. when Armand and Daniel see each other that first time. It's like they're pod!versions of each other in front of everyone else.

But when they get a moment to themselves, there's this blow out argument, an end to treading on egg shells like they have been since Armand turned Daniel nearly 30 years ago. It's messy. Armand blames Daniel for leaving him. Daniel blames Armand for doing his best to make Daniel hate him. And, at the end, the arguing feels so familiar and comfortable that both of them start to relax in the beginning of healing their past together.

You had my heart inside (you're gonna wish you) Of your hands (never had met me) And you played it (tears are gonna fall) To the beat (rolling in the deep)

Hello - Lionel Richie ft. Jennifer Nettles (1983)

Forgiveness. Can you imagine? Indulging in obsessive behaviour is something Daniel will always have to watch for, but he and Armand have been through Hell together and come out the other side now at Trinity Gate. They earn their happiness and, finally, an ability to see and accept each other as (relative) equals.

And they never let each other go again.

Hello, is it me you're looking for? I can see it in your eyes, I can see it in your smile You're all I've ever wanted and my arms are open wide 'Cause you know just what to say, and you know just what to do And I want to tell you so much, I love you

( @aquaticsoul , for one very special birthday boy who he adores ) ->

It's taken a little bit of asking around to figure out birthdays, and it's taken a lot of pondering to think of what he can do for Valo's. At first, he'd thought maybe a book would do nicely, but... no, way too easy. Valo would enjoy any book handed to him any time, of course, but everyone knows that from the very moment they lay eyes on the man (who so often has one in front of him) that he likes books. Writing music is a possibility, too, but that's something Sielu is just known for and thus it is also much too easy. After several days and nights struggling over what makes a perfect gift for such a nice friend, he decides to do exactly what he does best: stop worrying about it and wait for the right thing to just appear. And Celestial Mother be blessed, it shows up just a couple of weeks before the day he needs it as he's helping his father and a few of his father's friends go through some boxes. It's falling apart. It's in dire need of some help. But most importantly, it's really old. And historians, such as Valo, tend to quite enjoy things that are really old. Sielu has no issue with taking the time each evening afterward to clean it oh-so-carefully, not telling a single soul what he's doing. Not even his twin, for once! This is Valo's present from Sielu and it needs to be a surprise. He just can't risk it. And he can't risk someone doing better than him, either. Finally, finally the day comes, and Sielu is up earlier than the sun so he can be the first (besides Aamunkoitto) to greet his friend. He shows up to the palace early and then to Valo's room as soon as he knows the man is good and awake (because of watching Aamunkoitto in the hallway), practically bouncing and all smiles. "Päivä tervehtii, Valo! I have something. It's for you," he explains, extending both a full gallon of water and a long, neatly-wrapped box that looks like it weighs far more than it actually does. In it rests a lyre carefully and securely packed so that it won't be damaged or broken. "I was just gonna get you a book, but this is way cooler. One of my teachers - who's a friend of my father's - got a few boxes of stuff sent to him. Mostly stuff that his choir could actually use, but also this. There was like... an entire debate on ethics and stuff, and we all eventually decided it should go to a historian, and I said I knew one, and then I told them about you and how you used to go looking in the ruins and stuff, and we all agreed you'd probably like it." He's got an awkward grin on his face by the time he's halfway done rambling, shifting a little to put his hands in his pockets. "But the reason we said it should go to you is because that thing is probably at least a few hundred years old, if not more. It's not playable at all anymore without a lot of work, and it was an argument between preserving a historical artifact and re-establishing playability. Uh... you can tell which side won that because I didn't even replace the strings. All I did was clean it up and put it back together, so be careful. I probably don't have to tell you that it'll fall apart if you mishandle it. It's not really like... a huge significant discovery or anything and there's no like... sign it should go to the church, so... there you go. A neat super-old instrument just for you, restored by yours truly. If you want an idea of how it would have sounded back then, I can get ahold of a more modern one sometime, and by that I mean I borrowed one and it's in my classroom and I'm totally using it in my lesson sometime soon. I'll bring it in here for you later. I've gotta tune it." He's still beaming, extra proud of himself because this makes two presents: the lyre and an evening performance (even if Sielu can barely play the lyre, and the performance will definitely be comedic in nature because of this). It seems he's just extremely happy about Valo's existence in general. And honestly, who wouldn't be?

·:*¨༺ ✩★✩ ༻¨*:·. That's right. He knows what today is and right now mint colored eyes are looking over the sleeping form that is resting in one of the two beds that exist within the small inn they've come to find shelter in. How long as it been? His heart is swelling at the memory and he's come to find that he is unable to look away from the sleeping form of pale and blue as his chest rises and falls with such a gentle rhythm.

He remembers it all so clearly and he was so touched when it happened. What a thoughtful gift. What a thoughtful action and while he finds himself wondering for a moment why his mind would give him that specific memory to recall part of him thinks he already knows the answer.

What a gift it was and he's looking at the slumbering form of his friend thinking the same thing. It's been so long since their home was lost to the abyss of the Great Dark's endless hunger that to be gifted something so precious as his friend...

Ah he can feel the tears building up in his eyes as he gets emotional thinking about it, so a hand is raising to wipe them away; mint eyes continuing to stare quietly. There's really nothing better he could think to have on such a day.

"Tähtien?" A deeper but concerned voice sounds as arms come to wrap around him from behind. "You look like you could cry, are you alright?"

"I'm alright, Nousi." He replies leaning into the strong body behind him for support. "A bit tired but alright. I was just remembering..."

"Remembering what?"

"One of my first birthdays at the palace once Sielu was there..."

"I see."

There is a soft nudge to rub the man of Pink's center most horn against that of the man of Orange. A gentle coo escaping once he does so.

"I was thinking how fortunate I am. That we're here and we survived and that ... "

"That?"

"...we found him. I feel so fortunate that we have Sielu with us now. He's the best gift I could ask for beyond still having you at my side."

There is a short moment when that horn of soft gold is rubbing against opal again, followed by another coo and tightening arms.

"Yes, I agree. Hyvää syntymäpäivää, Tähtien. Rakastan Sinua."

"Minäkin Rakastan Sinua, Nousi."

△ question for Imakai: Were you ever tempted to run and just let the hole in the sky swallow them all whole? Did you make a plan? Where would you have gone?

Send me a △ and ask a really invasive question aimed at my character

...I foresee Kai becoming another Revka buried into the deepest parts of my subconscious soon

Discomfort Rating: 4 out of 10

Kai looks at the questioner quizzically for a moment before tossing her head back with a loud, long laugh. "Cassandra put you up to asking that, didn't she? Feeling a little guilty now, perhaps? Her hospitality certainly left something to be desired."

"I can't say the thought never crossed my mind. Spending a week in chains listening to your captors claim you're a traitorous ox who probably caused the Breach and eats infants or whatever other horrid idea had floated into their empty heads that day will do that. Toss in the Chantry's standard mistrust of mages not held under their thumbs, and I wasn't terribly eager to stick around."

She pauses for a moment, seeming to weigh her options before she carries on. "Oh, the Void with it. Not as though I'll be dragged off to the gallows for it now, will I?"

"I was going to slip off once we reached Redcliffe. Look for a chance or if nothing offered itself, wait until we struck camp for the night and head back to the village then. Steal a boat, a few basic supplies, maybe that coat I saw one of the merchants offering for far more coin than it was worth - you know, a little gift to myself for the trouble I'd been through. I'm a wretched sailor, but the Valo-Kas had agreed if things went sideways we'd meet further up the coast to regroup. It would have been as good a place as any for me to start for. I'd have one of the boys take care of the arm for me and leave it on the beach with the fingers offering just the salute I'd thought the lot of them deserved at the time."

"And then I had to go and get soft," she says with a roll of her eyes, though the way her lips purse for a moment betray a more substantial hurt. "Solas, the shit. Just had to save my life and make me think kindly of him, didn't he? I have to wonder how much of that was all for show as well. It worked either way. I couldn't leave another mage behind to watch his back alone. Not with the Templars looking for any excuse to swing those blighted swords of theirs."

Hi! Random ask but what was your most memorable music concert you've been to? With all these music asks/memes posts, I'm genuinely curious! (if you like, maybe tag some people?) ^^

Like I told my friend, I don't like concerts much. Why? Because I’m short and a tall person ALWAYS make a must of parking right in front of me and I get to see diddly-squat. And almost never they let me get in front of them, although they can perfectly see over my head. It has happened in 95% of all the concerts I’ve gone to. I’m saying open air non-seated concerts here, I’ve only been to sitting music halls twice in my life. Then there’s drunk people, beer cups sloshing all around and people screaming singing every.single.song by your ear while they sound like they’re skinning a cat alive. I still have tinnitus from my very first concert (I was 14) and no one had told me that standing so close to the speakers for two hours was a very, VERY bad idea. Not that I go to many concerts anyway – 4 years of Queima das Fitas in University doesn’t count – because when a singer/band I like come to my country, they almost always go to our capital and I live far away from it and can’t go. I live in an ass-crack in the country-side. But back to the subject. My most memorable concert was the very last I went to, back in July 2017 to see Sting. I’ve grown up listening to his music and when I heard that he was coming to a festival close-ish to me, I really wanted to go. I had to see the man live at least once in my life before he died and I’d never had the chance again. I mentioned it in FB, that was I going to try and get a ticket and that I’d go alone if I had to. To my surprise, my Uni twin-bro, my brother from another mother, told me to not get a ticket because I had gotten one for me as a present and he’d go with me. It was a wonderful gift from him. So I traveled to the city, met with him and one of my Uni half-nieces (long University story lol) who was going too. We even got a nice spot because we got there early. I thought Sting would play songs from his newest album at the time, (57th & 9th), because I wasn’t very familiar with it but, to my utter delight, he stuck to all his solo hits and some hits of his time with The Police. Man, that was AMAZING! All the songs I knew and loved, a total best-of concert. During “Message in a Bottle”, a boat on the river beside the concert area started flashing its search lights or something to the stage lol But, the best part was the finale. It was past midnight already, Sting leaves the stage for like 3 minutes, all goes dark and then he comes back and starts playing “Fragile”. In the song the lyrics go “On and on the rain will fall/ Like tears from a star / On and on the rain will say / How fragile we are” and it freggin’ starts to lightly rain! What an epic finale, it was magical, considering how hot and sunny it had been during the whole day. Sounds like nothing much, but it was good music, good company and I hadn’t been to a concert for years before that one. It’s a lovely memory. Tagging: @mdpthatsme, @esotheria-sims, @veninorchid, @skyburned, @redsimmer-blog, @goatskickin, @yakumtsaki, @yandereplumsim and that's enough lol No pressure to do it tho, as always :)

And bellow is the section of Photos or it Didn't Happen! lol I'll give you a bit of the concert with a video too.

That's his son Joe on the far right, he made the first part of the concert as he's a singer too and then came back to chorus for his father.
