Went to the Met this week, couldn’t help but notice Crowley and Aziraphale in “The Baptism of Christ” by Juan de Pareja.
(Gabriel’s hiding behind the tree btw, appalled at Aziraphale falling for Crowley’s distraction/temptation lol).
Like— this is a canon event to me.

Btw Juan Gabriel wasn't like out OUT. He never publicly called himself gay but it was just a thing many of us just knew. Like many poc living in a culture with intercommunity issues of homophobia, he very much just lived in a glass closet. I think the closest he ever got to just saying it was when he was asked if he was gay and said "Lo que se ve, no se pregunta", which means "What is seen, is not questioned".

What song do you think fits best jonawagon?
Hi, nonny! In all honesty, I can't pick just one, not even if I had to, so I'm going to be mean and give you all the songs that I can remember that fit them instead >:D Warning: it's gonna be long, but i hope that’s okay!
Can't Fight This Feeling - REO Speedwagon. This one's a given and I'm convinced Araki drew a lot of inspiration from it to create Robert and the relationship between him and Jonathan.
Side mention to Keep On Lovin' You, also by REO. The song as a whole is not actually a love song but these lines "And I meant Every word I said When I said that I loved you I meant that I loved you forever And I'm gonna keep on lovin' you 'Cause it's the only thing I want to do I don't want to sleep, I just want to keep on lovin' you"? 100000% jonawagon energy. Same can be said about a lot other REO songs btw (hence why I'm convinced that Araki took a lot of inspo for the character and his relationship with Jonathan from this band and their music). Speaking of yet another REO song that fits them so so so good...
All Heaven Broke Loose - REO Speedwagon. "It hit me like a shot right out of the blue All heaven broke loose I was shaken by the power of love Taken by the power of you". There’s a jonawagon fanfic named after this song and my life has never been the same since ;v;
Can't Take My Eyes Off You - Boys Town Gang. Listen to the whole song and tell me it doesn't fit them.
Last Rose Of Summer - Judas Priest. "I give you this, the last rose of summer. A token of my unyielding love. So when the winter's mantle stills the earth And all around seems dead and cold This rose reminds you of a time when all was warm and living". Those lines always make me think of them. The fact that Judas' singer is some gay british gentleman named Robert is just a little bonus lol.
Baby, I love you - Ramones. The Ronettes' original version also works but I feel the "punks in love" touch the Ramones gave it fits Speedwagon better since that's pretty much what he is in PB, lol.
I'm Affected - Ramones. I feel this one fits better from Jonathan's perspective due to the "When I look into your big brown eyes" line.
Safe Home - Anthrax. This song. I have so many jonawagon feels about it. The acoustic version is amazing and fits them like a glove.
Digital Love - Daft Punk. I feel this one fits them during their pining/yearning stage.
Something About Us - Daft Punk. I feel like it hits right in the feels for these two during their pining/yearning stage too but just right when the time to confess their feelings comes. The song leaves it a little open since its not precisely a sad song, so the feelings can be totally requited on both ends. It's that uncertainty and self-consciousness from both sides (bc yeah, after all the abuse and overly difficult life at home Jonathan had to endure, there is no way he doesn't suffer from any side effects to it).
Kiss From A Rose - Seal. An anon brought this one up time ago and yesss. All of the yessssss.
To Be Alone With You - Sufjan Stevens. Another kind anon suggested this one and I feel like it hits right for them
Amor Eterno - Juan Gabriel. This is a song in Spanish. The author/singer of this song was a gay man and there are countless rumours that this song was written and dedicated to a man he was in love with. The man died a tragic death, with the event leaving the singer so affected, because he loved him so much. This is basically the song you rip your entire heart out with when the love of your life has died. So, yeah. 10000% jonawagon feels right there. (i will try to post a translation of the lyrics of this song so y'all get the full image and extent of this). Speaking of Juan Gabriel, there is at least another one of his songs I feel fits the ship:
Te Lo Pido Por Favor - Juan Gabriel. A translated snippet of it goes more or less like: "How can I repay you for everything you do for me, all this happiness, all this immense love? Only with my life. Well, here's my life. I'm giving it to you."
Love Me Like There's No Tomorrow - Freddie Mercury. Lots of feels. So many of them.
Yell! - Amano Yuri. "No matter when, my warm hands should surely heal your wounds." The song comes from Yu Yu Hakusho and is performed by the main character's love interest who, much like Speedwagon, is forced to remain on the sidelines, watching as the man she loves fights for his life.
Laguna Sunrise - Black Sabbath. I feel like the vibe fits them very well.
Planet Caravan - Black Sabbath. Same as the previous one. Also, composer of the song, Geezer Butler, said: "the song is about floating through the universe with one's lover." So, yeah~
Love Talkin' - Tatsuro Yamashita. Just change pronouns accordingly and voilá~
Mr. DejaVu - Naja. "You showed me true kindness for the first time What I withheld cannot be given now; the moonlight frosts me over I couldn't even say goodbye Don't let me be alone Even if there is no eternity I'll believe in the red thread"
Endless Love - Megumi Ogata. "I kiss those eyelids that will never open again. Tonight, you are going on a journey into eternity. It isn’t too cruel, even if you live on a different star, beyond hundreds of billions of hours. Love Forever I’m sure I will find you because I will never forget you. My love for you will last forever. Love Forever"
Turn On Your Light - Judas Priest. The song is so sweet. One of the few ballads Judas has ever done and it hits the mighty jonawagon feels just right~
Sayonara Wa Iwanai - PERSONZ. "Sepia colored memories, decorations that wipe away my tears. Those are words from the bottom of my heart. I won’t see you again. I don’t want to think about that, that’s why I decided not to do it. No matter what, ¡never forget! No matter what, I won’t say goodbye now. Never say goodbye, because we will see each other again one day, smiling."
500 Miles - The Proclaimers. "And when I'm dreaming, well I know I'm gonna dream I'm gonna dream about the time when I'm with you"
Do You Want To Know A Secret - The Beatles. "Let me whisper in your ear Say the words you long to hear I'm in love with you~"
An Angel Is Missing - Ronnie Dio And The Red Caps. Change pronouns and etc accordingly and it totally fits them~
Hand In Glove - The Smiths. Basically, requited but doomed (gay) love the way only The Smiths can do it. Bittersweet and with that Gay British touch to it.
My Love Life - Morrissey. This would be in Robert's POV. I've said it before, but this song could work great as the prequel to the next one...
I Can Have Both - Morrissey. Which would be about Jonathan finding out that he is in love with both Erina and Speedwagon. Basically, Jonathan coming to terms with being bi and polyam.
Hazme Sentir - Austin TV. Instrumental song. The title translates as "Make me feel". Despite the obvious title, give it a listen and you'll understand why it's here c:
There are a lot more that are escaping me right now along with some others that are 100% pining/yearning material and All Of The Sad Feels, but I decided to leave most of the sad ones out for now because Jonathan and Speedwagon deserve to be happy. Give me a few minutes and I'll put links to all the songs in a reblog of this post for everyone who wants to check any of the songs listed here! can't add external links or tumgle will do The Thing to the post.
Also!! and this goes to everyone reading this: by all means, please feel free to drop more song recs for the ship either here or in my ask box anytime!!

Got tagged by @dinospy to post my 3 favorite albums I'm gonna talk about these a little bit this might be long
1. En Español - The Mavericks
This is a relatively new one it just came out last year but I have not been able to stop listening to it. I was vaguely aware of The Mavericks from their country hits in the 90s but I had no idea they were still together and making music.
There's always been a little bit of Tejano influence in their music but this is their first full album in spanish and it definitely feels like a turning point compared to the rest of their stuff and I hope they continue in this direction. They've always been difficult to pin down to one genre even in their heyday they tiptoed the line between americana and norteño and they've since toyed with more jazzy and rock sounds. Here they fly right over all that and start giving us genres from several different Latin American countries. There's still the ranchera and mariachi sounds of their roots on some tracks but others delve into cumbia and salsa and there's even a little bit of a ska beat on one.
There's a significance to these genres spanning across Latin America bc they released this album in response to the worsening immigration crisis here and they wanted to represent the distinct cultures within Latine culture as whole and it also reflects the makeup of the band who are mostly children of immigrants from these different countries, all of whom are being imprisoned in concentration camps right now.
The political nature of the album isn't apparent just from listening to it but it does slap. There's covers of old mexican standards from icons like Juan Gabriel that feel fresh and new but also original tracks that definitely sound like old standards and I ended up searching for the original artist only to find that they are it. It's an album that really spoke to me immediately and it's grown dear to me very quickly. And its also encouraged me to look at some of their earlier work, which as a chicana living in the south, I can absolutely relate to.
2. Dimanche a Bamako - Amadou & Mariam
This is the one I always recommend whenever someone asks me for music recs. It's an album that I think can appeal to anyone. Very solid, very danceable, lots of catchy tracks, polished production by Manu Chao, who btw also has an album called Clandestino that very nearly made this list.
Most of it is in french but don't let that deter you. What's not in french is mostly in Bambara I believe but there's several languages indigenous to Mali and I'm honestly not sure which ones are used here. I don't understand 99% of what they're saying in these lyrics but the vibe throughout the entire album is immaculate and that's what counts.
These two also have a lovely story where they met in a school for blind children and fell in love and began playing music together and became really great at it and eventually found a global audience and won grammies and it's all very heartwarming. And their music also combines elements from different genres all over the world, from their West African roots, to sounds from Cuba, India, the Mediterranean, and of course influences from American blues and rock.
And they do blues and rock a lot better than anyone in America right now. There's something poetic about that. How blues and rock were stolen from black people, who were descended from those stolen from West Africa, and then that music made its way back there, to its home really, to be reclaimed and made better. Not just by these two there's a lot of really really great blues and rock music coming out of Mali and Senegal and Burkina Faso in the past 15 maybe 20 years. This album is I think my favorite example of it tho.
3. Nighthawks at the Diner - Tom Waits
This is an oldie but a goodie and I always find myself coming back to it every few weeks. It's only his second album and I think it might be his only live album. I do enjoy his later weirder stuff. Rain Dogs is fantastic. Orphans and Mule Variations are also highlights. But I've always enjoyed his earlier stuff best. The jazzier nightclub sounds paired with that growling rumbling voice that sounds absolutely drenched in whiskey and cigarette smoke just hits like nothing else. It sets a mood. And I love that mood.
It doesn't matter where I am or what time it is when I put this on I'm transported. It's full of old references to Los Angeles nightlife that I don't get bc I'm too young and I've never been there but the crowd is having fun and so am I. The atmosphere is fake and Waits' persona is too but it doesn't matter. The performance is masterful enough that you don't care that it's actually a recording studio that they somehow setup tables and chairs and a bar in. For those two nights they recorded this, it was a jazz club. Not a good jazz club, not the glitzy glamorous Vegas lounge type jazz club, but a kind of shitty run down jazz club. And it's better that way.
Whenever I feel like visiting again I can just put this album on, pour myself a drink, light up a smoke and relax. No cover charge. Of course there's less opportunity to flirt with the waitress or the other patrons but sometimes that's a good thing.

So I saw the thread on Harry dressing as Juan Gabriel and big yikes.. the outfits are like carbon copies. Even the patterns on the suits are exactly the same. I hate how he hasn’t gotten called out for this on a major scale yet.
Probably unfortunately never will unless it countinues with other things then the ppl that aren’t fans will catch on. Harry’s fans well half of them are stuck in dream land where Harry is perfect and anything bad he does is bc he is forced. It’s so funny how imagine if this was a female doing this they would get ripped apart if a female singer today was trying to copy many female rock icons and then some. Literally when Madison beer put out her baby music video there were 3 parts that half way there resembled arianas music vid. Madison got dragged for months. It’s not just a man thing I think Harry gets it the eaisist because he’s Harry. Imagine if Justin Bieber did a music video that looked like golden or wore some “Harry” suits. He would get dragged. It’s woman that copy other woman in music getting dragged and men copying Harry styles in music would get dragged. Harry’s fandom has about the biggest pair of rose colored glasses on, about the size of the ones he wore with that white suit. That btw that outfit was completely copied by Camille. Anyway definitely had a taking off the glasses moment when I found this blog!

I’ve been staring at your icon for like five minutes trying to puzzle it out and I’m just gonna bite and ask who’s your header and icon. (I love your blog btw! You always bring such refreshing takes to the HP fandom and it’s always nice to see someone else who’s a Snape fan but doesn’t hate the Marauders. Your philosophy posts are always interesting too, I might not understand some of them but your discussions are always pretty intriguing) Anyways! Hope you have a pleasant rest of your day man
Thank you for the kind words!
As for who are the people in my header and icons, that’s a very interesting question, which I’ll happily answer :) The answer is quite long however, so I’ll add a cut.
All the men represented are related to South American football, specifically Uruguayan and Argentine football. Football is my favorite sport to watch and among my favorites to play (even though I’m very bad at it hehe), and since football is the most important sport in our country by far I enjoy reading about its history here. I chose both pictures because they are in some way relevant to that and I think they look cool. 
The men in my icon are the Uruguayan Oscar Washington Tabárez and argentine Gabriel Batistuta, with the man in the suit being the former and the man in the jersey the other. Tabárez is a famous coach, who has been coaching the Uruguayan national team for around 15 years. He revolutionized it, and the team is now back to a respectable level, if not quite its glory days in the first half of the XX century. The picture depicts an event in 1991 in Santiago, Chile where Tabárez got involved in a fight that had broken out between the players of the team he coached at the time (argentine club Boca Juniors) and the chilean club Colo Colo. He was hit with a camera which left his face bloody. Nothing too out of this world for South American football, but still pretty cool. 
The header is more interesting. It shows Obdulio Varela, the most revered and legendary figure in Uruguayan football history. He was the captain of the nation team during the 1950 world cup, where Uruguay won the cup for the second time, in what is considered by many to be the greatest final (and achievement) in the history of the sport. The “Maracanazo” as it came to be know, coined after the name of the stadium in which the final was played, the Maracaná. 
If I said that it was something out of a movie it would be understating it. It is so ridiculously epic that if a movie included it you would laugh at the forced drama. 
In the prelude to the world cup, Brazil was desperate to win their first world cup. While football was already extremely important, Brazil had not yet won the titles that would establish it as the premiere football country in the world, and was desperate to be crowned. So, it decided to host it, as being host gives the host a considerable advantage and increases the chances of victory, and makes victory that much sweeter since the team can celebrate with the whole country.
The tournament was not structured the way it is now, and after the group stages instead of the teams being bracketed, an additional group was made for the four teams who had won classified out of the group stages. They would all play against each other, and whoever won the most points would be champion.
While not officially a final, the last game of the group stages became a final de facto, because the outcome of that game would decide the champion between the teams playing. It was played on the 16th of July in 1950, in front of approximately 200000 spectators, the highest number in any football game before or since. The favored team to win was Brazil, who had won the previous two games and had a total of four points (at the time victories gave two points instead of three). Not only had they won, but they had amply demonstrated their superiority over the other teams, winning 7-1 and 6-1, against Sweden and Spain respectively. Uruguay on the other hand had three points, having tied 2-2 against Sweden and squeaked a 3-2 victory against Spain. This meant that for Uruguay to win the cup the only acceptable result was victory, as a tie would crown Brazil on goal difference.
The atmosphere in Brazil was unbelievable. Not just the stadium being ridiculously packed, but the Brazilian media had created such an aura of victory that most everyone took Brazil’s victory as a foregone conclusion. 
The main newspapers of Rio de Janeiro (the city where the final was played) already had covers proclaiming Brazil as world champion, before the game had even began. 500000 shirts with the inscription “Brazil - 1950 world champion” had already been sold. The Maracaná even had banners that said: “Glory to the world champions”. A band had been hired and instructed to play the national anthem of the winning team, but had only been given the Brazilian anthem, as They believed that knowing the Uruguayan one was unnecessary. On their own initiative the band had even made an additional song, titled “Brazil Champions!” The Brazilian government had even minted celebratory coins with the image of the players of the Brazilian team. FIFA also got swept up in the atmosphere, as the president at the time, Jules Rimet, had even written a speech in portuguese (he was French) in honor of the Brazilian champions.
The favoritism even reached the Uruguayan authorities. A few hours before the beginning of the game, the national team where visited by the embassy, who said that all they asked was that they “lose in a dignified manner”, so as to not shame the country. Even the team coach was pessimistic, believing victory impossible, and he had asked his team to play defensively to avoid being crushed.
Obdulio however, knew that this wasn’t they could play if they ever wanted to win. After the coach had left, he gathered his team and said “Juan is good man, but he’s wrong this time. If we play defensively, they’ll destroy us like they did Spain and Sweden.” 
The game began. While the Brazilian side was dominant, they didn’t manage to score any goals, and so the first half ended without incident. However, once the second half began, disaster struck, as Brazil scored the first goal of the match at 2′. The celebration from the locals was unbelievable, and there were even a couple fireworks. Varela realized that something was necessary to disrupt the game, since if this was allowed to continue the Uruguayans would lose confidence, while the Brazilians would even more motivated. So he went to complain to ref about a supposed off-side in the Brazilian goal, even though he explicitly knew that the goal had been perfectly valid. Since the referee was English and didn’t speak Spanish, and he didn’t speak English, this devolved into an absurd discussion which lasted several minutes. This effectively killed the Brazilian team’s momentum. 
The result of this tactic made themselves known in the 21′ minute, when Juan Alberto Schiaffino scored to tie the game. Will this cooled the audience somewhat, as they hadn’t been expecting it, they were still optimistic, as tying would still give Brazil the title.  
Finally, in the 34′ minute, Varela started a play that ended with the ball at Alcides Ghiggia’s feat at the right wing, who fainted that he was going to centre the ball, and instead tried for the goal. He scored. Years later, Ghiggia would say, when recalling the game: “Only three people have ever silenced the Maracaná. The Pope, Sinatra and me.”
Tumblr media
Now desperate, the Brazilian team tried everything in it’s power to turn back the result, but it wasn’t enough, and 11 minutes later the game ended and Uruguay were crowned champions. 
To say that the result was unexpected would be an understatement. All celebrations were cancelled, the marching band played no songs and there was no award ceremony, but rather the FIFA president discretely handed the World Cup trophy to Varela, who was captain. 
Jules Rimet’s recollection of the game is striking. 
“Everything was already accounted for, except for Uruguay’s victory. At the end of the game, I was supposed to hand the cup to the captain of the winning team. A showy guard of honor would form form the tunnel to the center of the pitch where the captain of the winning team would be waiting (naturally Brazil). I prepared my speech and went to the locker rooms shortly before the end of the game (they were tied 1-1 and a tie would crown the locals). But as I was walking down the halls, the infernal screaming of the crowd was interrupted. Coming out of the tunnel, a desolate silence dominated the stadium. No honor guard, no national anthem, no speech, not even a solemn award ceremony. I found myself alone, with the cup in my arms, and no idea what to do. In the tumult, I ended up finding the Uruguayan captain, Obdulio Varela, and almost secretly giving him the golden statue, shook hands, and I left without being able to say even a single word in congratulations to his team.”
The event was... traumatic for Brazil. In the days that followed, over 20 suicides were reported. The media didn’t quite now what to do. While Brazil is now famous for it’s yellow shirt, it was not the original color of their sports kit. Rather, the color was white. After the match, the shirt was practically abandoned, and has since been used in only a few games, mostly friendlies or special occasions. And that’s how Uruguay won the world cup for the second and last time. And how Obdulio Varela, became the greatest icon in Uruguayan sporting history. However, while his sporting achievement was already remarkable, it is what he did after the end of the game that makes him even more remarkable. At the end of the game, he was accosted by journalist who bombarded him with questions. When asked how they had won, he murmured “It was luck”, and showed them his back when they tried to photograph him. Instead of celebrating, he spent the night drinking in the bars of Rio, consoling the devastated and crying Brazilians. None of them recognized him.  
Brazil’s self-confidence was struck a huge blow by this event, and most feared it would never recover. It eventually did however, and Brazil managed to move past this event, with the help of a certain 17-year-old footballing prodigy. A boy by the name of Pelé. But that’s a story for another time

This song is perfect for Johnlock and my mom knows it.
My mom told me this song was perfect for Sherlock and John. My mum is a very traditional mexican mom, she loves singers like Juan Gabriel and Alejandro Fernandez and also loves to watch series like Sherlock, (It's one of her favorites) btw she doesn’t know what Johnlock is. We were listening the radio and this song was playing. She told me this song fits when sherlock comes back after the Reichenbach fall. It’s name is “Me dediqué a perderte” by Alejandro Fernandez.
You can read the lyrics in english here:

My mom ships Johnlock and she didn’t know it. lol
