beauty and beast au but Claire’s the one cursed because she’s the only one I can see literally pissing a sorceress off enough to get cursed. (If we’re going off the original movie Jim would probably offer them a hot meal and a room for the night, knowing him he’d make everything super accommodating)
#are we seeing the vision or have I lost my mind#Jim would literally drop everything to help this literal hag who waltzed through the door#Claire would..not be doing that#bonus points if the witch is Morgana then they’re throwing hands#I could see her trying to offer a deal like say she’s after Claire’s magic and sevitude or something and when she refuses boom Morgana#curses her and everyone else that’s in the ballroom at the time#And because it’s Morgana she’d probably make the curse super difficult to break#so like by the time she’s 18 if she doesn’t agree to serve Morgana when the last petal on the rose falls she dies with the rose#so Claire’s kinda given up on hope cuz she’d rather die than give Morgana her magic#Barbara’s a traveling doctor so her and Strickler set off to another town for a trip and get caught in the snow storm#and they get locked up for entering the castle and trespassing#Jim goes after them because they don’t come back the day after#instead of Claire keeping them there though I think she’d just give all three the chance to leave with some pressing from her friends#Jim ends up rethinking his decision due to the fact that Toby even as a cursed object can’t for the life of him keep a secret#when he hears the castle is under a curse he’s immediately interested in helping#even if Claire really just wants this nosy human boy and his parents to be on their way#oh shit I think I just wrote another au#trollhunters#tales of arcadia#jim lake jr#claire nuñez#toa#jlaire#this was just chillin in my drafts for awhile

joel going after ellie when she goes back to Saint Mary’s to find out the truth. joel hastily hopping off his horse to go to her. joel embracing ellie and kissing her head. joel saying ‘you talk to me. you don’t just leave me a got damn note’. ellie placing her palms against his chest and shoving him away. joels arms staying outstretched as he’s pushed from her. the turmoil on his face. the heartbreak and betrayal on hers.
joel telling her the truth. ellie breaking down. joel reaching for her and being that close to her. ellie swatting his hand away—don’t you fucking touch me. I’ll go back… but we’re done
joel standing there, watching her. joel crying because, well, she’s gone. she’s pushed him away, said they’re done. her finger to his face and tears running off her chin—and he’s the reason for it.
joel standing there in the open for who knows how long. knowing now that she… might not come back. what he did years ago has finally caught up to him in, quite possibly, the worst way he can imagine. his child, his daughter, his second chance, wanting absolutely nothing to do with him anymore.
pedro and bella??? doing this scene???
#mmmm many thoughts#many many thoughts#do y’all think about the head kiss as much as me#he waltz up#KNOWING they’re on the outs#I know he must’ve known#but maybe he just thought eh. teenage angst. happens with every kid#but he SO EASILY goes up#wraps her in his embrace#and just kisses her head so easily#THATS SECOND NATURE FOR THEM COME ONDBEKDHDKDH#you can even hear the little smooch and every time I watch the scene over I lose a little more of my sanity#he’s just so#he loves her so much and he lost her so fast#it was the last time he ever held her 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀#he never touched her again after that 😀😀😀😀😀😀#no hug no hands no head kisses no nothing 😀😀#I like to think the twitch of his finger before he died is him reaching out for her#one last time#and he didn’t even get it#the last of us part 2#the last of us hbo#joel miller#ellie williams

when listening to an old musical and you suddenly hit the uuuuh, period-typical cutesy racism/xenophobia humor song. 😩😂
It truly was a different time. XD

okay enstars instruments headcanons (this is not all of the characters just ones i felt like doing)
eichi: plays low-effort percussion. tried flute once and could not keep up with it. unfortunate truly. plays a mean xylophone on his good days though.
wataru: probably has basic knowledge in like. every instrument but specializes in flute because he can mimic his pigeons with it. bonus points that eichi loves it.
tori: wants so so bad to play flute but got stuck with the clarinet
yuzuru: learned clarinet so he could help tori, but i think it would be fun if he also did jazz clarinet in his spare time
subaru: this boy plays trumpet and is so annoying about it gdbless
mao: he's in bband right he plays guitar? probably also learned piano or something at some point but its very rusty
makoto: this guy really goes ham on the keyboard BUT cannot for the life of him play a normal piano
chiaki: touched a guitar once and the string broke and he has never been the same since
kanata: plays exclusively smooth jazz on a soprano sax
hiiro: one man band type of guy. little bit of everything going on there
aira: got jealous of hiiro being able to play instruments really well so soon after picking them up so he was determined to get better than him in one specific instrument and it was absolutely not one that he could handle (tuba/baritone) (hiiro has to help him with the sousaphone once and aira decides to just stick with baritone)
hiyori: flute and is one of those people who can beat-box with it
jun: puts up with hiyori's flute beat-boxing
shu: violin + viola and will get angry at you if you dont know the difference
mika: picked up violin because of shu but has a completely different style to him. also can fiddle like nobody's business
rinne: trumpet, sax, trombone, anything jazzy. probably recorded some of their backing tracks himself in their early days
himeru: classically trained on piano but never shows it off until rinne begs him to one day bc he overheard meru tapping away when he thought nobody was around
kaoru: was not playing that guitar in sustain memories we know this. koga does not let him near his guitars ever at all the one in sustain memories was on loan and at least two strings snapped on him. would love to have him learn like clarinet or something and incorporate that into their music because i think it would be neat
mitsuru: any wind instrument that lets him do those long runs of sixteenth notes. never gets his fingers tangled while doing them
keito: probably learned shamisen at some point but its like his temple duties and got put on the back burner
kuro: tenor saxophone
leo: also dabbles in a little of everything but is best on piano
izumi: flute or clarinet, but not both. flute because it matches the ethereal aesthetic and clarinet because it has a fuller sound
sora: he's the conductor of the es orchestra actually
#shay speaks#im not main tagging this or tagging all the characters so have fun#anyway i have many thoughts abt some of them being more involved in the creation of their backing tracks#leo is the obvious one u guys know now that i think rinne is also super involved in that#shu and mika probably do the violin and viola parts of their tracks themselves along with others doing the lower#cello and bass parts#i can imagine shu playing his violin or viola and like waltzing around his paris apartment to try and relieve stress and get him focused#i would love to hear thoughts on these though they are open to change if i hear convincing counter arguments#or arguments for smth different than what i have listed

a friend asked why my url across platforms is always ohwhatagloomyshow & I explained that I had the honor of meeting Stephen Sondheim in 2013, where I built up the courage to thank him for his work and tell him the revival of Follies was the first show I’d ever seen on Broadway. He smiled and said kindly, “oh, what a gloomy show!” because I’m a 19 year old newborn baby praising a show about midlife crises.
Anyway, I told the friend it’s probably Sondheim’s gloomiest show, but that’s probably a debatable opinion! I would love to hear any arguments against it! I would say that of all his shows, it’s the one that ends with the least amount of hope. My definition of “gloomiest show” is most dependent on how you feel when you leave the theater, and in this case I do think Follies takes the cake, personally!
Full disclosure, the shows I’m least familiar with of Sondheim’s are Merrily & Passion.

Oh my god Heart is confirmed too?
the hype is real
ok i'm making a music post
So Graspop is a metal festival on paper, which is not usually my go to, but there's also a bunch of rock and some other genres. First confirmed name was tool, which i have been a sucker for since I was 17 when they completely blew me away with their live performance
my watch list so far includes:
Alice cooper
Avenged Sevenfold
Babymetal
Body Count (Ice-T's metal band! it fucking slaps) (heres another one) (gotta include this one too sorry)
Bruce Dickinson
Deep Purple
Electric Callboy (if you don't know them please watch these videos. They're hilarious and their upbeat power/europop x metal mixture shouldn't be this catchy, fun and genuinely good, but it is)
Heart
Iron Allies
Judas Priest
Limp Bizkit
Megadeth
Pendulum
Scorpions
Tool
and more!
it's been so long since i've been to an absolutely stacked festival. Can't wait
#personal#music#txt#GMM 2024#probably forgetting a bunch here#one thing about me is that i listened to a lot of metal in my teenage years but sort of don't do that anymore#I still like the genre a lot though#and in recent years i'm discovering bands I missed in my initial metal stint! Like night verses - body count and igorrr#so this is a nostalgic (re)discovery tour for me#a colleague actually sent me an igorrr song (nervous waltz) a couple of years back thinking there was no way i would like it#then i discovered i already knew them from the meme video 'very noise' which is the song right after on the album#ended up listening to the entire album because it was very complex and interesting. Genuinely liked it.#definitely not something for sunday tea with your parents though they'll think the radio is broken#went to see them live last year with some friends too and ran into the now ex-colleague again and yeah. Good show#I like uptempo stuff and i love it when artists are obviously fucking around with ideas. Igorrr is very much that.#if you want to hear a funny igorrr track check out musette maximum btw. I laughed out loud and was completely baffled on my first listen.#i should put rambles under a fold maybe and not in the tags but who knows#graspop#graspop metal meeting

Finally learnt what a dactyl actually is and I’m going to have to take a moment to lie down
#I mean I had a vague idea but when I read poetry it was rarely for technicaly/English lit reasons#And more for either enjoyment or historical relevance#So internally my brain went 'Yeah yeah it's dactylic verse like Homer whatever now onto the historical context and some juicy alliteration'#And didn't have time to probe any further#But I'm sorry I'm in love#Excuse me while my heart cries out for language#The words are waltzing#I realise I must sound very stupid to have got to the age I am and with the level of education I officially have and not know these things#But I'm doing my best to make up for the shoddy comprehensive education which was not helped by my lazy depressed distracted teenage self#So please just let me enjoy this discovery rather than judge#To be fair I've always liked poems you can hear the music in- we are a nation raised on Burns and bothy ballads after all#But I suppose I never thought to look up the names (other than a general awareness of iambic pentameter via Shakespeare)#Going dancing with Robert Browning be back soon

I've never heard anyone pronounce waltz as walss (no t) until I entered the musical theatre sphere. Anyway, it's how the actor pronounces it in the title song of Do I Hear a Waltz, and I first assumed it was a mistake, but everyone in that production was so fucking sick of each other that they didn't bother to get a second take.
#stephen sondheim#richard rodgers#arthur laurents#2/3 nightmare blunt rotation lol#ive tried this show a couple times but rodgers's music just slides off my brain#the weak book doesnt help#do i hear a waltz

❥ It's so sweet, knowing that you love me
★ pairing: miguel o'hara x fem!reader
★ summary: miguel knows you're pregnant, the only problem is he doesn't know how to to tell you. ─ or the time miguel found out before you.
★ warnings: fluff!! usage of many pet names, angst if you squint, miguel being a simp for his wife, pregnancy stuff, swearing, some shitty humor.
★ notes: there aren't enough dad and husband miguel fics out there so i had to write this!! icon credits: @/natashowlet
Miguel knew something was off, he’s known for days.
You’ve recently been throwing up, having odd cravings and random mood swings. At first, he thought you might be sick, you thought the same thing but now he knows it's not that. You were definitely pregnant. Everything adds up, and all of it made sense, then again he could be totally wrong.
He made up his mind to try and talk to you once you returned home, he would surprise you with a romantic dinner and bring up the subject. He had about an hour to prepare everything.
Well, that's what he thought, the second he got up to start preparing, you waltzed in through the door.
“Mi Amor, I’m home.” Why are you home this early? He wanted to surprise you.
“Mami, why are you home so early?” He says pulling you into a bear hug, usually, he would squish you completely but right now he wasn't sure that’d be the best idea.
“What, aren't you happy to see me?” You chuckle.
“No, no I'm really happy, I was just gonna cook you a surprise dinner that's all,” he replies bashfully
“Aw, that's so sweet.” You threw your arms around him, placing kisses wherever you could reach. “I have the best husband ever.”
“And I have the most amazing wife, now come on let’s go make something to eat.” He scoops you up in his arms and carries you bridal style towards the kitchen. He desperately wants to bring up the topic of you possibly being pregnant but now was not the best time, he didn't want to ruin the moment.
This conversation could wait till tomorrow, right now he just wanted to enjoy some time with his wife.
─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──
“Good night, Miggy.” His head was buried into your neck, his arms were secured somewhat tightly around your belly, and your smaller hands were coving his bigger ones.
He thought about bringing up the topic right now but quickly scratched off that idea.
He was so tired from the day's activities, he could fall asleep instantly.
He could hear you slowly drifting off, your breathing calming him down and lulling him into slumber... well almost.
Just as he was on the verge of falling asleep he heard something ─ or rather someone.
He could hear another heartbeat. Coming right from you. He thought he was going crazy at first, but the closer he listened, the clearer it got. He was right, you were pregnant.
Holy shit. You were pregnant. He was going to be a dad.
In all this, it occurs to him that you didn't even know yet, he would have to tell you tomorrow no matter what.
He’s so happy. He finally has another chance, he won't mess up this time. He would do anything to protect you both.
But what if you didn't want kids just yet? The topic of kids has come up before and you both want them, but what if you changed your mind? There were so many things that could go wrong but Miguel tried to push all the negative thoughts away and focused on falling asleep.
He slept like a baby that night.
─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──
“So, honey, I was hoping to talk to you about something.” He avoided having the conversation all morning, now he needed to tell you.
“What is it, Miggy?” You sit down looking at him expectantly. You could see that he was nervous, it was obvious by the way he was acting. “Is everything okay?”
“Yes, everything is fine, mi corazón, don't worry.” How should he start? Should he just jump straight into it or start off slow? He should have thought about this before, well no time to do that now.
He took a deep breath and it all came rushing out “I think, actually no, I know that you’re pregnant.”
Silence. You were too stunned to speak.
“Excuse me?” There was pure shock written all over your face, he would’ve laughed if the situation was different.
“I heard 2 heartbeats last night, one was yours and the other one was -”
“Are you sure? I mean are you 100% sure? Maybe you heard something else?” You didn't want to get your hopes up just yet, you always wanted a baby with Miguel but if this turned out to be a false alarm you would be a little crushed.
“I’m 9.99% sure. Bebé, if you want we can get a pregnancy test done?”
“Yeah okay, let’s do it.”
─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──
An hour later both of you stood in the bathroom. Three minutes felt like hours right now.
You might be pregnant. This isn't some crazy dream.
“Bebé, if you don’t want to keep the baby I absolutely respect tha-” He’s still not sure if you’re happy with this or not. He was worried he messed up in some way.
“No, I want to keep the baby but I just don't want to get my hopes up just yet. I definitely want to have a baby with you.” You wrap your arms around him, his scent calmed you down. You were going to be okay.
“I want to have a baby with you too,” he whispers.
You lean up to give him a kiss, your hands gently coming up to stoke his cheeks. Miguel pulled back and mutters, “I love you.”
“Love you too.” A moment later you both heard the timer going off. This was it.
You slowly step forward picking up the stick and turning it around.
Positive. You were pregnant.
“Well, what does it say?” This whole thing is making him feel so anxious.
“We’re having a baby.” His wife is carrying his baby, this is real, he isn't dreaming.
“I knew it! I was right.” He pulls you off the ground and into a hug, placing kisses all over your face while muttering small “thank you’s” and “I love you’s”
“I can't believe we’re gonna have a mini O’Hara running around soon,” you giggle kissing his jawline.
“She’s going to be just like her mother. ” Knowing a mix of you and him was going to be here soon made him feel content.
“How do you know they're gonna be a girl, hm?”
“Just… a small feeling.” His small feeling would be proven right 9 months later.

Please the lil ex-hubby fic got my heart melting I'm such a whore for jealous Al 😭
May we please have more jealous!Alastor. Maybe he didn't even know he liked reader THAT way until some sinner genuinely tries to court her and then he's just like "NOWP. Mine now."
This been sitting in my inbox for weeks!!!! I finally got around to it!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Alastor had always found you to be good company. He enjoyed having someone who could appreciate proper entertainment. He enjoyed the chats you two had and even let you join him when he went on outings.
He considered you a friend.
So why is his eye twitching as you smiled, clutching a bouquet of flowers from the sinner who had asked you out?
“Oh they are beautiful!” You beamed, pulling the sinner into a hug.
Alastor let out a soft growl, before materializing behind you, flashing the nervous man a sharp smile “Dearest who is this” he asked as his red eyes narrowed at the demon.
”My date for tonight silly. I told you I was going out for a night on the town” you giggled happily as you ushered the man inside.
”why don’t you two chat while i finish getting ready hmm?” You smiled reassuring at the demon before leaving.
Alastor smiled lovingly at you and as soon as you were out of sight, he set his sights on the sinner who was trying to avoid eye contact.
The sinner cleared his throat “I t-thought she was lying when she said she was friends with the Radio Demon”
awww he was trying to make small talk
Alastor eyes narrowed, “oooh so you know WHO I am? Good good then introductions are pointless.” He stood tall, claws gripping his cane. “This ugh date you call taking her out on? Canceled.” The sinner eyes widened “w-what? No…no way! I been planning this for weeks!” He frowned.
Alastor let out a chuckle “maybe you didn’t hear me”. The lobby lights flickered and he transformed slightly, growing in height, antlers curved to the ceiling and eyes as bright radio dials.
The sinner shook in fear as the Overlord leaned down til they were face to face “You will NOT be going out on a date tonight because 1. That pretty creature upstairs is way too good for you and 2. She’s mine. Now…when she comes back down, you’re gonna apologize and say something came up and NEVER contact her again. Or I eat you and I am happy either way…your choice”
He dawned an air of innocence as he let out a fake laugh when he heard you were close enough.
”I’m ready! How do I look?” You beamed, twirling around to show off your outfit. Alastor whistled, grabbing your hand and turning you in a slow spin, grinning “You are stunning my dear.”
You turned towards your date and he looked a bit shaken.
“U-Um s-something came up suddenly and…and im gonna have to cancel.” Your bright smile faded as he rubbed his neck nervously. A pout formed on your lips, as you wrapped your arms around yourself “O-oh…I see”
He looked at you and went to take a step forward but that only caused you to step back and into the Radio Demon’s embrace, seeking comfort.
Alastor pulled you into his chest ‘protectively’, rubbing your back soothingly ”oh it’s alright my dear. Im sure the two of you can reschedule this little date.”
The sinner mumbled his apology and slipped out the door.
You were pouting. You thought that he genuinely liked you. He even planned a whole date to your favorite club! So why…
You felt Alastor lift your chin, your pouty face making him grin.
”Since you’re already dressed how bout we go out on this date?” He asked tilting his head. You blinked at him, a little shocked “Y-You wanna go on a date with me?”
He chuckled, giving you a squeeze as he snapped his fingers and both your clothings changed to a more elegant style.
He raised your hand to his lips, red eyes wrinkling at you “Oh darlin I would be a fool to pass up the opportunity of having a pretty dame on my arm” he laughed as he twirled you around, before looping your arms and waltzing out the door.
