[an excerpt from a letter from G. Monro addressed to H. E. Kenway, dated July 1757 and written in great haste] [...] I did not take Shay Cormac in just because he was an Assassin at the crossroads of purpose. I took him in because he has a pair of wings on his back, same as you do.

borealis by imaginarykat

assassin’s creed: rogue, shay cormac/haytham kenway, wing!AU; 10 chapters, ~30k words, completed

summary: A Templar and an ex-Assassin discover that their near-perfectly aligned goals and the fact that they take to each other the second they meet are the least interesting things they have in common.

The most interesting one being their wings.

ONE PIECE HEADCANONS #1

Video Games Edition

TW: Gruesome Imagery

❝ giving each strawhat + more video games i think theyd play! comment any other ones i should do :3 ❞

MONKEY D. LUFFY - Street Fighter

╰┈➤ Luffy wouldn’t play a single game by himself, he finds that boring. He’d force the other Strawhats to play a party game with him. Luffy would usually fight with Zoro in any fighting game or competitive game.

Other Choices: Mario Kart, Super Smash Bros.

RORONOA ZORO - Ghost of Tsushima

╰┈➤ Zoro isn’t into super mainstream multiplayer games, definitely likes to keep to himself and play on his own time half the time. Definitely, the guy that frequently checks his map in open-world games every few seconds

Other Choices: Assassin’s Creed, For Honor, Sekiro

VINSMOKE SANJI - Genshin Impact

╰┈➤ Sanji definitely plays graphic novels but there’s no way this man DOESN'T play the game with the most fan service. He only pulls on girls' banners and leaves the guy characters to die or unleveled but his female characters are MAXED OUT. Definitely, a Yae Miko main or Lisa because she’s closest to Robin

GOD USOPP - Call of Duty: Warzone

╰┈➤ Now hear me out. The only time Usopp isn’t a coward in action is if it’s in a video game. This man is a SWEAT TRY HARD in COD. Amazing at sniping, all the cool gadgets and cosmetics. His account is worth hundreds. Will absolutely avoid any COD Zombies mode though

Other Choices: Pokémon, Fortnite, Overwatch 2, League of Legends

NAMI - Stardew Valley

╰┈➤ Nami definitely doesn’t play games with a lot of gore, action, or anything crazy. I think she'd rather sit and enjoy a game with a long hour's worth of play

Other Choices: The Legend of Zelda

TONY TONY CHOPPER - Minecraft

╰┈➤ I know for a fact this little guy is a little Minecraft nerd and try hard. The only thing he won't do is mine in caves because of the warden or scary cave sounds. He plays with Luffy and Usopp any chance he gets

Other Choices: Roblox, Pokemon, Potion Craft

NICO ROBIN - Omori

╰┈➤ When I played Omori there was nothing but reading and dark turns. I know Robin LOVES this game and it's complex story

Other Choices: Sally Face

FRANKY - Fallout 4

╰┈➤ This is perfectly fitting for Franky. He never leaves that iconic suit in the game behind. He owns a few bottles of Nuka Cola. He has HOURS on this game and unlocked every ending. Absolute nerd for games like these

Other Choices: Titanfall 2, Old Mario Games

SOUL KING BROOK - Dead by Daylight

╰┈➤ He is a killer main all the way. He laughs whenever he hooks someone and they eventually die. He is an absolute menace in DBD and he absolutely mains Ghostface

Other Choices: Call of Duty Zombies, Osu!!

PORTGAS D. ACE - Super Smash Bros.

╰┈➤ Just like his brother, he plays fighting games. In this one specifically, he is a GOD at Smash. He mains Mario, Roy, and Ness and wonders why no one wants to play him because of his annoyingly good play style (except Luffy ofc)

Other Choices: Tekken, Forza, Apex (Fuse main or Mirage)

TRAFALGAR D. WATER LAW - Animal Crossing: New Horizons

╰┈➤ Hear me out. Law plays games like crazy sometimes and usually talks about the darker ones to fit his personality but behind closed doors... yeah he had a 5-star island. He says he doesn't play the game and only has it for Bepo but he decorated his part of the island from TOP TO BOTTOM and has all the cutest villagers. He has a soft spot for cute things

Other Choices: Dead by Daylight, Diablo, Pokemon, League of Legends (heavy on LoL)

thats everyone!! this is gonna be a bit of a series so if you have any suggestions PLEASE lmk!!!!! STAY SWEET AND LUVABLE

hello! i saw your post about your broken laptop, so sorry to hear btwz, but i do not think you should get a new laptop :( as in, buying one from a large company that produces electronics, like Apple. people in Congo, including children are being forced into slave labor to mine cobalt and materials used to make modern-day electronics in rough conditions. cobalt is used in almost every laptop.

people often die from these conditions. instead of giving your money to these horrible companies, I suggest buying a used one off of someone else; maybe someone is selling on Facebook or eBay? used laptops/computers are more cheaper :)

Hello, lovely Anon!

Thank you for your message!

I may have thought of a way to use my laptop for a while longer yet (even though I will have to backup anything I've got on there because I am living a life of risk and haven't yet). If only the display is broken I could probably connect it to a separate monitor and like... maybe a keyboard so I don't have to keep the laptop open but it should probably work? My workplace does that a lot because not every employee has their own tower PC. Nevertheless I need to get some backup storage first before I test that because I have a feeling that the computer will give up for good soon enough. I bought it 6 years ago and we know that that's bordering on Old™ for an electronic device.

Now to alleviate your concern: I do know about the problem and hopefully many other people are aware of it too.

When my Old Friend finally decides to kick the bucket before I can realize my plan to get a real decent gaming set up (I am thinking in about 2 years, maybe a little more) then I fully intend to buy a refurbished laptop. Not only does it sorta circumvent this whole matter, it's also generally probably more sustainable and, also important, often a lot cheaper than buying new and you still get a tested and fully functional device.

(the gaming set up is probably gonna be refurbished too. I really do want one, I paid money for Assassin's Creed Syndicate like 4 years ago and have yet to be able to actually play it)

Thank you again for your message!

Lots of Love

-Carter

TOP 5 “EZIO’S FAMILY” VERSIONS + TOP 5 TRACKS

Tagged by @peridot-tears

I will say... that I'm not good at explaining music in general (I barely pass my music classes as I'm apparently tonedeaf to high waters)

Ezio's Family

I didn't get any notes that the Ezio's Family that are only qualified for this list are the ones that are in AC games so...

Earth (Assassin's Creed 2)

youtube

I love how this starts slow then goes deep before going fast. I knew I had to pick an Ezio Family version from AC2 and it was either the OG Ezio's Family, Venice Rooftops or Earth and I chose Earth because it's the middle ground of the three. It has the fast pace style of Venice and the slow beginning of Ezio's Family. Plus, I like the vocals of this one and the way the music ends feels... uncertain which I think shows the uncertainty of Desmond's future in the present and the mystery that persists in AC2 concerning the 'Prophet' talked about in the Codex.

2. Main Theme/Ezio's Family (AC Identity)

youtube

I might have never played the game but goddamn this theme. When the beat drops and it gives a more hard rock version of Ezio's Family theme? I'm sold. I love rock versions of non-rock music and there's just this hint of isolation in this theme that works well with AC Identity's story.

3. Main Theme (AC Rogue)

youtube

This just hits differently (which is to be expected for an Assassin's Creed game with a protagonist Assassin turned Templar) and you can feel Shay's Irish roots as well as this feeling of adventure and freedom that has an underlying sadness to it (especially in the vocals).

4. Family (AC Syndicate)

youtube

Gonna be honest... it's the violins. I'm a sucker for violins and the violin of this one really hammers in how the title Family isn't meant to be joyful. It's meant to be a prelude to how Evie and Jacob's relationship would end in Syndicate's main story.

5. Venice Rooftop Soul Caliber V Remix

youtube

It's a faster version of Venice Rooftop and has that Soul Caliber music-esque addition to it that I just love. Soul Caliber is one of my favorite childhood games and hearing an Ezio Family official remix of a similar vein as the other Soul Caliber stage music? I can't help but love this. (Is this cheating? Probably but... oh well... XD)

Honorable Mention: Odyssey's "Ezio's Family", Russia's Main Theme and Origin's "Main Theme".

Additional Favorite Tracks (in no particular order other than no 1):

Flight Through Jerusalem (Assassin's Creed)

youtube

You know it was going to be the top one. It's my most played music in Spotify when I was still using Spotify and it will forever take that spot because I stopped using Spotify (other than podcasts). Why is it my top one? Well, here's my exact reasoning from that Spotify callout post I made last year: Flight Through Jerusalem is a track that manages to show the conflict of Jerusalem during the 3rd Crusades by mixing Gregorian-like chants with a kind of traditional Middle incoherent sounds trying to defend music choices

2. Underground (Assassin's Creed Syndicate)

youtube

This one is super specific. I think this could be a really great MV for Assassin's Creed especially the lines of "Loved ones taken long before their work was done" would certainly be about Desmond because fuck Ubisoft, where's our modern day setting Assassin's Creed where Desmond showed he's the ultimate Assassin and successor to his ancestors' wishes and will?

3. Fight Club (Assassin's Creed III)

youtube

This is, hands down, my most favorite music in ACIII and it's one that really makes me go "Okay! Let's go do something!". I don't know how else to explain this one other than it's a really fun and motivating song.

4. Masyaf Village (Assassin's Creed)

youtube

Okay, this one is more of a personal favorite of mine because it's creepy. There's this just feeling of being unsettled that does not go away the entire song and it's a great music to represent the mystery surrounding the Brotherhood itself. I just love the female vocals of this track. (Sidebar, this can be heard in ACR when Altaïr places the Apple in the library)

5. Altaïr and Darim + Requiescat in Pace (Assassin's Creed Revelations)

youtube

Apparently Tumblr has a 10 videos max so here's Requiescat in Pace

Mostly if you listen to "Altaïr and Darim", you would automatically hear Ezio's "Dear Claudia..." and yeah, that's one reason why I picked this one. But the reason why I picked this over AC Revelation's Main Theme? Because this is the music that plays when Darim and Altaïr have their last talk. When Darim tells Altaïr "All that's good in me began with you, father", I lost it. I was just crying. And "Requiescat in Pace"? That's the song that plays when Altaïr takes his final rest and I'm just gone. I'm out for the count. I don't care if it's cheating that I picked two for one spot, I can't separate the two because of the emotions both tracks give me in succession.

Honorable Mention: The High Seas from Black Flag, Fish in the Sea Sea Shanty(which didn't make the cut because it's not an AC original music), When Horns Resound from Valhalla and Rather Death Than Slavery from Unity

Tagging... uuuhh... I guess @saberamane and @fanworldbuildingfun if they'd like to do this XD

#you know how hard it is to pick just 5???#especially the ones composed by jesper kyd???

Hello, the 23 year old autistic anon, saw your post about halo

Now an author from the early days of halo that help make the Fall of Reach novel. Mention how Bungie didn’t even have a proper reasons why the Spartans exist they only made them because it “cool” so the writers made the human insurrections to explain why humanity had specialized soldiers prior to the covenant invasion.

I think the whole issue is that a lot of writers just write the plot of the stories only which caused issues.

Let me compare it to assassin creed, yes that series is a mess and got retcons, sorry ac help me cope after escaping my stepmom. It set up background lore especially in ac2 where we learn the assassins and Templars and their precursors been fighting each other since Genesis and we saw how they influenced events from the fall of the Egyptian empire (shown in origins) to world wars.

So while we are finally getting a ac game set in feudal Japan later this year. There was also side content that referenced how they influence Japan history

Sorry l trailing off, but I recall in the eu books there was a covenant credit and grunts consume mainly an artificial grub.

Perhaps because you and I are autistic so we think about those parts of lore more than the writers. I am amateur writer that makes nsfw stuff for a hero I like. But a mutual of mine says I flesh out certain aspects of the characters more than the comics as that company want comics only lead to big events rather than properly fleshing out stuff.

Sorry if this anon too long and I understand if you don’t respond, perhaps we can talk more about it more in DMs?

Halo is a series that runs off of the rule of cool, many things are given a hand wave in the logic department if they are cool in a way that the writers like.

For instance the levels involving the Flood, in Halo 2 where you play as the Arbiter, do not make sense, as the Flood can infect an individual through their spores, the Arbiter walks through these levels without a respirator and doesn't get infected, while other Sangheili wear clear and obvious respirators.

Now, this was done because the Arbiter looks cooler when his face is fully visible during cutscenes, it also keeps him visually distinct.

Now, the rule of cool isn't what I'm complaining about, the Spartan program, while originally an expression of this rule, was explained fully later in the novels and extended universe works.

What I'm complaining about are things writers should constantly consider when writing, that many professional works either refuse to consider or have never considered.

Yes, I know the extended novels of Halo mention currency, and what Grunts eat, they however only mention them in passing, and do not elaborate further, it's the same as the Eldar eating fruit and veggies, like sure, they eat that but how do they grow it, or how do they procure it/make it.

Yes, that is an issue, the plot, while important for writers to focus on, can only make sense if the setting is coherent and can logically work.

Sorry, I don't consider the AC games after Black Flag to be canon, as the retcons and abandoning of the original story made me not enjoy the series, however I understand what you are trying to say, even if I refuse to talk about Nu Assassins Creed.

Skipping the personal stuff.

Promise is a promise. Let’s talk about my planned (but so far, never played) Werewolf chronicle, tentatively titled Blood Ripples Out.

Blood Ripples Out started from a few things, if memory serves. It began life as an idea for Werewolf: The Forsaken actually, but it morphed to Apocalypse as I got more into WoD over time (though I could still easily see myself playing it as Forsaken). But it mostly came from me dwelling on two video games:

1) Hotline Miami. Indie classic, full of hyperviolence and neon-soaked grime. A perfect aesthetic for Werewolf, I think, but I was particularly dwelling on the famous way almost all the levels end. After you tear through a place in a frenzy of brutal killing, the music cuts out to a dull thrum as you walk out of the bloodstained rooms you were just tearing through during your adrenaline rush, and you have to think for a moment… “Was all that a good idea? Was it worth it?”

2) Assassin’s Creed III. Almost a guilty pleasure of mine, this game. But what struck me about it was the sort of core premise of the second act of the game— the protagonist, Ratonhaké:don/Connor Kenway, desperate to protect his home and his loved ones from the colonial forces ravaging them, goes on a series of missions to kill the people leading those forces. Notably, despite his general tendency to downplay collateral damage and minimize violence, even his most precise and targeted assassinations tend to make the situation even more precarious. Ratonhaké:don wants to just stop the violence, but the violence follows him wherever he goes. It clearly isn’t his fault, he’s doing so much right… but when even doing the right thing doesn’t help, what is there to do?

You might be able to see where I’m going.

At its core, my idea for Blood Ripples Out was to empower players to act, while making sure their actions never quite fixed things. I know this is a risky path to some extent, because I don’t want the players and their choices to feel ineffectual or pointless— what I wanted instead was for them to think, with care and deliberation, about the consequences of their interactions with the world, and then be surprised by what they were able to plan for… and what they weren’t.

So to me, the chronicle was about tension cycles. Each arc starts with a problem— the first one I had in mind was a dangerous drug proliferating through the community the game was set in. This drug took advantage of vulnerable people— the addicted, the desperate, the wounded— and used them as a vessel to breed Banes and other Wyrm-tainted things. The person distributing these drugs may be aware of that being the effect, but either way, the Wyrm grows stronger so long as they continue spreading them. So, the player characters have to shut down their operation.

Then, the tension builds as the players investigate and try to find their target. They talk to the people affected, try to help them, maybe tracking down dealers and looking into suspicious activity. They might deal with threats violently, or with their supernatural powers— maybe they just talk and think their way through it all? I, of course, make note of the ways the world might respond to the player characters as they progress to the truth, and find the person who needs to die.*

Finally, the climax. All the tension is supercharged in one final mission for the arc— the werewolves know where their target is, and they hunt them down. Maybe they sneak in and kill them silently, or maybe they tear through their hideout in Crinos form, howling at the moon all the while. Perhaps they can arrange for a rival to take care of the problem for them, manipulating the situation to their advantage. Either way, it all culminates in confrontation and then, the tension releases as it’s resolved.

But then, next arc, the tension builds again. Did our werewolves solve the problem quietly and cleanly? Then there’s an easily exploited power vacuum. Maybe some shady medical corporation moves in and tries to push an equally nasty “cure” on an afflicted community, or law enforcement cracks down on all the drug trading now that no one is in control. If the PCs did things overtly, violently, then they’ve established that the community has their protection, but they might be scared of whatever things are stalking in the dark, and werewolf hunters might be tipped off to their presence. So on and so forth for any solution— nothing is perfect. But not eveyrthing is terrible, of course. People are finally recovering, maybe even benefiting from harm reduction and other community aid our PCs helped established. The people taking advantage of the community have been thrown out, at least for the moment, and the Caern grows stronger, healthier.

The core question of Blood Ripples Out, then, is not “Is what you’re doing right?” but instead “What will you do to make your choices the right choices, when the world resists happy endings?”

I don’t know the answer to that question, but I’d love to see a group try and answer it some day.

*Note: My initial conception for the game did involve a sort of metatextual requirement of the death of at least one antagonist per arc, to make the statement that the violence the PCs did was to an extent necessary, even when it did sometimes make the situation escalate. That said, such a conceit might work better for Forsaken than Apocalypse, and I would be interested in seeing how the concept of the chronicle works for characters who consistently search for nonviolent solutions.

#oc stuff #my ocs #now you can judge my taste in music. no opinion is wrong #helios has the most songs because he is the specialest boy #ironwing is a viking at spark #nightjet likes to be dramatic. railjet doesn't #firecry likes two kinds of songs and they are either ballads or absolute bangers. the secret third option is whatever anvil is listening to #anvil likes metal <- is a self-taught blacksmith #cryoslope's 'playlist' is also neatly separated in two halves #dataduct should have all the 2000/2010 era pop songs that get your energon pumping and spark racing #carbonlight gets all the good villainous tracks #either tumblr or my browser has something against the letter 's' because one of them keeps excluding it from the links

[20 Question Fic Writer Tag]

I wasn't actually tagged by anyone and I would never usually do this but @ainulindaelynn said anyone could consider themselves tagged and this one looked fun so here I am. 🤪

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

Five! Four one-shots and one multi-chapter WIP.

2. What is your AO3 word count?

16,451

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Currently Assassin's Creed, formerly (but I'm sure I'll be dragged back into it at some point) Star Wars. I also have a bunch of old WIPs for Pacific Rim and (🤢) the MCU but never completed/published any of them.

4. What are your top five fics by kudos?

I only have five fics posted so:

Hideaway - 147

Bright Skies - 136

Press On, Move Along - 92

Out of the Cold - 35

Honor Bound - 22

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

Yes! I try to respond to every comment I get, even if it's just a short little acknowledgement. Because I would like people to know I see them and appreciate them so they keep commenting. <3

6. What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Press On, Move Along. Everyone died, dude.

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

Hideaway!

8. Do you get hate on fics?

Not yet! 🤪

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

Yes, as of like... three months ago. I have yet to publish any of it though and it'll probably be a long while before I do, but I also have a little one-shot that may be done long before then if I decide to actually finish it. In terms of "what kind" I think it's pretty vanilla. IDK how else to describe it.🧍🏻‍♀️

10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?

Not generally, except for the AC Star Wars AU that has taken over my brain. I'm not even sure I would count that as a crossover so much as a fusion AU because there are absolutely no Star Wars characters in it.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

I'm not positive this person was copying my fic, but I distinctly remember not long after I posted Hideaway coming across a fic with the same premise (Din playing hide and seek with the kids on Sorgan), which followed all the exact same plot beats as mine. And I do mean exactly. Obviously the plot itself is not particularly groundbreaking and I think there are plenty of other similar stories out there, but this one was similar enough to set off alarm bells.

I didn't end up doing anything about it because again, I like to give people the benefit of the doubt and it could have easily been a coincidence, but obviously if they had fully reposted my fic then that would be a different story.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Nope!

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Actively written a fic with another person? No. Plotted a fic from start to finish in a months-long series of increasingly deranged DMs? So many times. Hi Parker. :)

14. What's your all-time favourite ship?

Girl... I can't answer this. I don't know about "favourite" but if I had to pick a ship that has made me crazy for the most amount of time, it's probably Mako/Raleigh.

15. What's a WIP you'd like to finish but doubt you ever will?

I still think about my post-Mando s2 fix-it fic every once in a while but I honestly doubt I'll ever finish it. Disney has pretty much killed any care I once had for this show and it fucking sucks. :/

16. What are your writing strengths?

I'm not even being modest right now I just actually don't know lmao. Anything that I might qualify as a strength isn't consistent enough for me to feel justified in calling it a strength.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Overthinking my use of commas, editing while I write, feeling directionless when I don't do enough planning ahead of time but feeling suffocated when I do too much planning ahead of time. Also just being sooooo fucking slow, but I think that can be attributed to the overthinking.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

I avoid it as much as humanly possible. If someone is speaking another language I'll usually just note it in the text somehow or, as has been the case with Honor Bound a lot of the time, purposefully write from the POV of a character who doesn't speak that language which, in addition to conveniently sidestepping that issue, works well as a narrative device.

I just absolutely hate the thought of putting Google translated dialogue in a fic and having a native speaker cringe their way through grammatically incoherent dialogue lmao.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Marvel >:(

20. Favourite fic you've ever written?

Honor Bound obviously holds a special place in my heart but Out of the Cold is really good. Like really good IMO.

No-pressure tags: @orphiceonian, @aeide, @findusinaweek, @reiverreturns, @basimibnishaqs, ????? anyone else who wants to <3

#one of my favourite pastimes is talking about my writing instead of actually writing and it shows #ky posts text #tag games

Five Songs I'm Into Now (International Edition)

Tagged by: @riftdancing thank you lovely! I love a good excuse to discover and share music ✨

I've recently done one of these on my main blog here, so it's been great to highlight more songs that I've been vibing with of late!

This time, I've challenged myself to pick international songs since I listen to a wide variety; some of these have been long-time favourites of mine, while others are more recent. I discover a lot of new songs and genres using Radio Garden. (I highly recommend Transistor FM in Thessaloniki, Greece!)

I've also added a bonus song- my favourite from a band local to my hometown ✨

1. Frío Frío Live Version - Juan Luis Guerra 4.40 & Romeo Santos

From the Dominican Republic This one is a long-time favourite of mine- I've been listening to Juan Luis Guerra 4.40 since I was ~16ish and this is my favourite song of his. This live rendition with Romeo Santos is just *chefs kiss* and the whole live album is fantastic. It's also funnier if you watch the live recording of this song and realize that the reason the crowd goes so batshit when Romeo comes out is because he pops out of of a hole in the stage, it's so wholesome

2. T'Asteri Mou - Despina Vandi & Foivos

From Greece Something I used to do when I was playing Assassin's Creed: Odyssey was listening to Greek music. Since then I've become addicted to Greek pop songs. This one popped up on the station I'd picked in Radio Garden and I fell in love. I was learning Greek a few years back now, but only remember the basics + some random phrases from Duolingo - did you know 'soup' is considered feminine in Greek??

3. Qefs Milion A - Martin Mkrtchyan

From Armenia This popped up on a random Armenian radio station while I was browsing Radio Garden, and it always makes me want to get up and dance! I have nothing interesting or informative to say here, aside from that this song slaps.

4. Invoke - T.M.Revolution

From Japan My partner and I recently watched all of Gundam SEED (my... fifth? sixth? time watching, his first) and I was reminded just how much I not only love this series but the music. Choosing which opening/ ending theme I'd include in this was a challenge! I studied Japanese from middle school right through to my first (and last) year at university. I still remember a bit, to the point of still being able to hold basic conversations/ ask basic questions.

5. Klefi / Samed (صامد) - Hatari & Bashar Murad

youtube

Icelandic & Palestinian Collaboration **warning for flashing lights in the video!** I discovered Hatari from their appearance in Eurovision in 2019 and the song they performed (Hatrið mun sigra) is a favourite of mine. This one has been on repeat more frequently now, for reasons I'm sure are obvious from the tumbnail. While in Israel for the competition, Hatari joined forces with a Palestinian artist, Bashar Murad, to create this song of resistance; the band also got a harsh response from the audience for displaying the Palestine flag during the competition's grand final. The video filmed for this song is very powerful, which is why I've added this link from YouTube instead of Spotify. I highly recommend watching it and having captions on for translation. Timestamp 2:48 is truly breathtaking. "After all this torture I'm steadfast, I won't bow down." From the rivers to the sea, Palestine will be free 🕊️

Bonus; Yoke - Teenage Joans

From Adelaide, Australia A new home grown favourite that I recently discovered, this song take me back to my emo/punk days. This song has been on repeat- in my headphones, my car and my home stereo. My poor husband and cats are probably sick of hearing it. Did you know Australians normally sing with a different accent, otherwise we sound ridiculous? Examples here: 1/2

Thanks for coming on this chaotic trip with me!

Tagging: @thefreelanceangel, @ishgard, @zenmai--jikake--no--komoriuta, @ooc-tau, @nozomikei & anyone else who feels like doing this!!
