“Floyd, could you sing to me?”

The big brother looked up from where he was tucking the blanket under Branch’s feet. “Sure thing,” he said with a light smile. “What would you like to hear? A lullaby?”

“I don’t know,” Branch mumbled as he nestled his head into the pillow. “You choose.”

Floyd could still see a crease of worry between his baby brother’s brows. He softly brushed a thumb over it in a silent reassurance that everything was going to be okay before he turned around to reach for their dad’s old guitar.

I think Floyd would often sing to Branch to get him to fall asleep, usually the songs and lullabies their parents sang when the older four were still little.

I know in the movie it seemed like they all left right after their fight, but I like to imagine that they just stormed off to cool off and that they actually left in the following days. And that this was the last song Floyd sang for Branch that night. :')

Both Sides Now (specifically this cover by Voncken) Rows and flows of angel hair And ice cream castles in the air And feather canyons everywhere I've looked at clouds that way But now they only block the sun They snow and rain on everyone So many things I would've done But clouds got in the way I've looked at clouds from both sides now From up and down, and still somehow It's clouds’ illusions, I recall I really don't know clouds at all Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels The dizzy dancin' way you feel When every fairy tale comes real I've looked at love that way But now it's just another show You leave 'em laughin' as you go And if you care, don't let them know Don't give yourself away I've looked at love from both sides now From give and take, and still somehow It's love's illusions, I recall I really don't know love at all Tears and fears and feeling proud To say "I love you" right out loud Dreams and schemes and circus crowds I've looked at life that way But now my friends, they’re acting strange They shake their heads, and say I've changed Well, something's lost, but something's gained In living life each day I've looked at life from both sides now From up and down And give and take And win and lose, and still somehow It's life's illusions, I recall I really don't know life... I really don't know life at all

Ugh. You won't believe this. I'm sorry to bug you, but I just needed to vent.

I saw some idiot on twitter saying that when E met Priscilla he had an eleven year old girl living with him in Germany. They mentioned Scotty Moore said that in his book so I looked it up. What he said was at the time E met Cilla, he had an "even younger German girl" (his words) living in the house with his father and grandmother. Except...well, I can't find any proof of this; there’s no evidence nor mention of this girl (or how old she was) anywhere else in the book nor in any other books written about him. No proof he had anyone else like that living with him in Germany.

So I don’t think that claim is true. Where do people come up with this stuff anyway? How do you not get into an argument with these idiots? Because it's super annoying.

ugh, believe it or not, baby, im not surprised at all. but you could never bug me !!! 💖 sorry it took me so long to answer this, but rest assured i haven't calmed down about this any since you first sent it 😅

a couple notes‐ honestly, i'm inclined to believe scotty. NOT TWITTER to clarify lol.. eleven seems young for him even if you are looking to view e through the most unflattering light possible 😬 but it seems likely to me that he had another teenage girl maybe not uh. officially on the lease or anything but staying over most nights ! more than ONE even sounds plausible.. we all know that someone didn't like his bed cold.!

people who claim to hate elvis sure spend an awful lot of time reviling him on the internet, especially by regurgitating half-remembered anecdotal evidence without citing their sources. 🙄 on the other hand, it's also easy to fall into the trap of too-faithful elvis historian; by that i mean that the fact that so much of his life is documented sometimes makes us complacent in our belief that if it can't be verified by multiple primary sources that it must not have happened. but we can't always say, and getting too involved as if the historical accuracy of one particular proposed event is the end-all be-all of elvis fandom can get exhausting.!

i wouldn't be surprised to find out either way, that this was or wasn't true. but you're free to make up your own mind, and if it distresses you, then fwiw i think you Totally have a leg to stand on affirming it never happened, like you said !! ultimately, it doesn't have much bearing on right now- if you like elvis, this vague and nebulous criticism probably isn't the thing that'll make you stop liking elvis, and if you hate elvis, you're probably determined to keep doing that regardless.

regarding the twitdiots- while looking into this claim i found a lady on there who legitimately believed that agent elvis tells the true story of how e was experimented on and mind controlled into drug abuse by the government.. like she said That with her whooole chest. so i don't put much stock in public opinion over there 😂😂💀

i want to fight those people extremely often (they're not just on twitter, either- it seems to have died down a little praise GOD but especially in early days after the movie there was a wave of ppl on here who would put their elvis hate in the main tags. WHICH DROVE ME BATTY), but i come from the "don't feed the trolls" era of fandom. as much as id like to rip 'em a new one when they rehash the same two issues over and over and OVER again ad nauseum, i content myself with the fact that they're living a pathetic existence in which they actively choose to fill their life with something they dislike for... no discernable reason.?

no one who spends their time bringing up a dead celebrity at all opportunities just to bash them is actually open to a discussion. and i do think there is a discussion to be had- his life was certainly very troubled, and i think there are a lot of nuanced issues that benefit from being spoken about openly !!!

but i like to debate bc i like to WIN- so jackasses tend to be a waste of my time 😘

#ask #if anyone DOES decide to start fighting idiots tho tag team me !!!#ill pop in for a few rounds 👊💥#i try to just move on without paying it too much attention #and everyone on here is so lovely its a good distraction !!!#i dont think theres any harm in choosing to see the good in people #esp dead people im sorry #like either im right and elvis was a flawed but kind person (all i get is bragging rights)#or im wrong and he was a dirtbag (all i get is . literally nothing)#when i die and meet him ill send yall word but i think we already know what the answer is 😘#but either way it doesnt have much objective bearing on my life..#as long as im deluding myself into writing fanfic anyway who cares right?? 🤪#like who cares if i choose to use him as a vessel to make myself happier #i DO truly believe he was a good person and i think weve p much reached the point where #no one but angie marchese herself could talk me out of that #🙃🙃🙃#NOTE THIS LOGIC DOES *NOT* APPLY TO PPL WHO MAKE FLOWER CROWN EDITS OF SERIAL KILLERS

Holy Orange Bottles

each night I pray to you...

Druig x Fem!Reader

Summary: Druig could see her fading quickly. A bug bite. A fucking bug bite was taking away the one person he cared the most about. In an act of desperation, he takes her to an unlikely source.

WC:1.7k

Angst with happy ending ofc but add a little bit of drama

Warning: reader on the brink of death

A/N: Thank you Anon for requesting! I've been loving all the Taylor requests bc she's my favorite! I hope you like this!

It was just a bug bite. It was just supposed to be just a bug bite.

It happened on an ordinary hike, Y/N was taking photographs for a magazine she worked for in the States. Druig watched her cautiously from a few paces back, making sure no harm came to her while she worked. "I think I got all I need," she tells him over the roar of the waterfall in front of her. She moved aside a few strands of damp hair and made her way off the unsteady rocks.

Druig was always there to catch her, stretching out his flexed hand to help get her on solid ground. Y/N slightly jumps at the sudden notice of his presence. But soon relaxes with her hand in his.

As they started walking back towards the commune, a harsh sting on her shoulder sends pain up and down her back. She yelps and swats at her back to get the bug away from her. Druig turns around with concern on his face "Are you ok, my love?" he asks. After giving him a nod, Y/N winces and stops walking.

"Does it look bad?" She asks as she turns around, she saw no bug in her view. There was a small red bump on the center of her left shoulder blade, the fabric of her tank top almost touching it. It wasn't bad, probably just a mosquito. "Fucker snuck up on me," she complains, walking ahead of Druig.

Her lead slowly started to dwindle as they got closer to the commune, Druig was quickly catching up to her. He watched how her shoulders rose and fell quicker than normal. She loves this hike, he thought as he watched her take a pause, her hands resting on her hips "I think I need a small break," she panted, taking a seat on a large moss-covered stone. She had never taken a break on this hike before.

He told himself he wasn't concerned. Bug bites happened all the time in the Amazon. There was a remedy some of the older women had developed over the years. He sat behind her that night in bed, her back hunched over as Druig dipped his finger in the stone bowl full of green jelly.

It was cold to the touch, goosebumps appearing on her skin. The cool jelly soothed the stinging small round bump "Do you feel any better, my love?" he asks her gently, rubbing around the bite. She nods at him and releases a soft hum.

"Much better, I'm sure it'll go away by tomorrow."

It didn't. She felt woozy that morning, he could see it as she walked. Holding onto the railings like her life depended on it "I'm fine, Druig," she chuckled as he swooped in to catch her from falling on the dirt ground. His blue eyes caught a glimpse of the big bite. Scathing red and double in size he noted. "I'm going to lay down for a while, I'll come back out for dinner." She kissed him on the cheek and placed a loving hand on his shoulder before retreating back to their shared bed. Druig could see the delusion right in front of him.

The next morning the Eternal tried to remain optimistic, he laughed along with the people while he ate with them. His eyes glance up at Y/N who was finally coming out of their home, it was 1PM and she was hardly awake. The first thing he noticed was her skin, the once bright and soft skin was dull and lost all its color. A nervous punch to his stomach made him hitch his breath. Then she collapsed.

All that led him here, kneeling in front of a once locked chest in the corner of his closet. He dug through translucent orange medicine bottles, his eyes briefly registering the medicine names underneath the dim overhead light. Hands desperately clutching onto all the ones he thought needed for her. He collected them over some time, hoping he would never have to use them. He pressed them to his forehead, saying a silent prayer to anyone who would hear his thoughts. He had...just had to make sure she would survive this. He didn't know why her body was responding to the bite like this. There were so many questions he had but couldn't find the answer.

On a plate was the small cocktail of pills, he walked into their room with his eyes worriedly gazed upon her. Her skin was clammy and cold, her dull eyes looking back at him. "Thank you," she manages. A small, weak smile forms on her lips as her shaky hands take the plate. He climbs into bed next to her, draping his arm around her shoulders, watching to make sure she took them all. "What did I take?" she laughed.

"Antibiotics, you'll feel better tomorrow," he told her, his hand coming up to smooth out her unbrushed hair. Y/N leans against him, not telling him about the dull pain she felt in her shoulder. The soft touches from his fingers lulled her to sleep, finally able to rest.

Druig couldn't sleep that night, his body couldn't stop tossing and turning. Frustrated groans fill the air, his body finally turning to look at your peaceful frame. He drapes his arm around your body, pulling himself closer to his lovers side. His mind came up with the question: what am I going to do if she's not here? It was a question he thought once or twice about in their couple years together, but old age was always the conclusion, not some weird illness. His forehead found its way to the center of her back. She'd be fine in the morning. She had to be.

Once the sunlight poured into his room, his sleepy eyes fluttered open. He didn't move that entire night, his back still pressed against hers. He lifts his head off the pillow. Blurred vision finally starting to go back to normal "Good morning, Y/N," he yawns, "are you feeling better?" there was no response from her side of the bed.

He turns her over, pressing her shoulder into the mattress. Y/N's skin was starting to grey, lines that resembled those from a deep sleep started to appear on her cheeks "Y/N?" he questions, gently shaking her. Her eyes didn't open.

No. No. No! Druig cursed under his breath and hurriedly climbed on top of her. His hands grip her shoulders as he shakes her unconscious frame. Tears started to pour from his eyes, the tip of his nose turning red "Y/N! Y/N!" he screams at her, his veins appearing on his temples. He leans forward and presses his ear to the center of her chest. He focused hard not to confuse his rapid heartbeat for hers as he searched. But he heard it. Y/N was still with him. "It's going to be ok," he sobs into her chest, tears soaking the shirt that really belonged to him. "I'm going to get you back, you're not going to leave me like this!"

It took a lot of his power, but those golden eyes got him to his final destination. A small farmhouse in secluded South Dakota "Ajak!" He cries, the body of his love dangling in his arms. "Ajak!" He cries once more, his raspy voice was an octave higher and cracking like a schoolboy.

The older woman with flowing brown hair ran out the front door. Her brown eyes set on Druig and the woman in his arms "Druig?" She questions loudly from her door.

"Please! I need your help!" The desperate cries in his voice made her feel his urgency. Running up to him, she noticed his red, bloodshot eyes. "She got bit by something a couple days ago...she's dying!"

Ajak took the girl from his arms, telling him to follow her into the house that he hadn't stepped foot in for years. He ran ahead and cleared the kitchen table, her dishes falling and breaking on the wood floor. Ajak placed her on the table and got a good look "Deviants?" she whispered under her breath.

"Deviants?" he repeated. "No. It was a bug. We were on a hike. It would have killed us." Druig ran a nervous hand through his hair, leaning over Y/N. Ajak's eyes flickered between them, her brain trying to come up with a solution. "C-can you heal her Ajak?" he was desperate, leg tapping like an impatient child as he stared his former leader down.

"I'll try. Go wait outside," she instructs him. He doesn't want to. He doesn't want to be removed from her side, he would rather die with her than live in a world where their time was cut short. "Go. Druig."

Reluctantly he does. Sitting on the steps on the front porch for God knows how long. Half a cigarette hanging from his lips. It was a nasty habit that Y/N would scold him for. But it relieved a sliver of the stress built inside him. He took the burning cigarette in between his fingers, his other hand wiping his drying eyes.

"I don't think I've ever seen you this worn down," Ajak remarks as she steps outside. Druig quickly rises to his feet, eyes looking at her in desperation. She sticks her hands inside her blue denim jacket, leaning on one of the wood pillars. "She must be some girl," she smiles.

"Is she ok?" he asks weakly, fearing he might cry again. Ajak finally nods in his direction. A wave of relief rushes to his heart, he quickly moved past Ajak and back into the house.

Y/N sat on the table, her legs swinging over the edge. The color and luster to her eyes had returned, the lines on her skin gone. Druig let out a choked sob and ran to her at full speed, crashing into her with a strong hug. Her arms wrap around him, inhaling his cologne and the faint smell of smoke. "She fixed you," he whispers in almost disbelief, letting his fingers touch the smooth skin where the bump once was.

"Druig I don't remember anything," she tells him regretfully, pulling back from the embrace. Whatever it was it really scared the man who she had never seen so fearful and disheveled.

"Y-you got bit a-and you almost died," he stammers, his fingertips tracing along her jawline. She places her warm hands over his, bringing him in for a short kiss.

"I'm here now, my love, I wouldn't leave you so soon," he nodded at her calm reassurance. He was about to embrace her again when Ajak coughed to get their attention.

"I'm afraid something bad might be coming. Do not take her back to the Amazon, Druig. She must go back to the city."

That whole thing going on with Mugaro is stupid. Didn't Azazel say in the first season that human weapons can't kill him? And so far i know that knife wasn't a magical weapon. Maybe because Azazel has lost a lot of his powers (since the staff likes to insist on that) he can get killed. But we can't use the same excuse for Mugaro. He got his powers, wings and voice back after he got in his angel-form. And i thought that angels and demons had some form of regeneration.(1/2)

lulz the thing about genesis and vs is that, the staff is mostly different, so maaaaaybe we shouldn't expect consistency from both.

while in genesis azazel did say human weapon can't kill him, in vs his 'mortality' keeps being emphasized on, that he's just like the rest of them who could die anytime.

I'm not sure about regeneration either. in ep3 we saw rita treating azazel's wounds. if someone with such high pride like azazel actually willingly received treatment, then it must mean he really needed it.

I'm hesitant to speculate about mugaro bcs while he's full god now, he was born half god/human, and it may have unforeseen effect on his psysical body or something.

just, in regard to azazel and magic power tho:

i've speculated before how he may not be able to produce light beam from his palm bcs maaaybe he lost his power source in vs.

but his snakes tho

why didn't he use his snakes to release his shackles and run away from the prison?

unlike that collar w/ green stone he wore during arena fight, in prison in ep8 there was no green stone in sight.

the sword he used was actually just another form of the snakes, so these snakes can be very sturdy and solid and sharp when he wished them to.

the snakes were already like the pshysical extension of him, so even with the green stone presents, he could still use them, like during ep4 fight.

and yet we saw none of his snake in prison scene in ep8, or during that fight in ep15

also, what exactly was the use of that green stone on his collar anyway? when he ran away w/ kaisar in ep15, nothing happened. as in, what, so the green stone was just a decoration with no purpose? since it didn't give him shocks or any spell at all to prevent him from misbehaving.

if the stone has no purpose, then why the fuc did he not try to run from the start, bringing the collar with him?

after all, it was just an empty collar with no magical effect whatsoever.

why didn't he use his wings? the king didn't cut them, so why didn't he try to fly the first chance he got?

more and more things been bugging me lately.

hmmm... i just lost interest in chari. I don't hate him (I don't have that much energy to spare lulz), but I've also stopped liking him, and mostly I just feel indifferent toward him. (the same can't be said about nina...)

and yup, I don't ship him w/ azazel anymore. can't be bothered to read fics about it anymore either.

(i'll always remember I used to like chari and chariaza and did write that one chariaza fic, but that's all i guess.)

Conversation

Magdalena Bay /r/Popheads Discord AMA [16/08/2019] Transcript

Q : Did you get your name from this iconic bop? [Sandra : Maria Magdalena]

MB : hahah no, Matt stole it from a literal person named Magdalena Bay // (they called her maggy bay)

Q : whats your biggest influence that sounds nothing like your own music

MB : we love PC Music even though we don't really sound like it

Q : out of everything you’ve made, what song is your all-time fave/which one are you the most proud of?

MB : We think Set Me Off is super underrated, but usually our fave is whatever the newest thing we write is

Q : Did Matt take up that offer at the DMV?

MB : hahaha NO

Q : whats the song you guys most had trouble with?

MB : hmmm probably move slow, we re-did the melody and production a few times before we settled on the disco vibes

Q : What made you guys decide to go for shorter song lengths, or was it somethjng that just happened naturally?

MB : We got tired of waiting so long to release official singles, wanted to do low-pressure quick songs that we could get out to our fans sooner!

Q : So like, where’s Voc pop on Spotify?

MB : hahah does anyone actually like that song?! It was the first pop thing we ever made and it was more of a learning experience for us than an actual song to us

Q : are you planning to tour europe anytime soon?

MB : we'd love to tour just need the right opportunity

Q : what's both of your favourite songs right now? also have you heard any of Caroline Polachek's music

MB : Actually one of our favorite songs right now is Door! Another is Ever Again (Robyn)

Q : one more: do you have any plans for an album in the future? Or are you just going with the flow

MB : yes we have album plans! Maybe next year

Q : Did you have a specific inspiration for Neon's music video, or was it just the whole vaporwave aesthetic in general?

MB : that video we actually didn't do ourselves, we found that archival footage of the couple and had that intro sequence sone but we sent it to our talented friend Matt Lewis who added the whole vaporwave element, we really weren't too aware of that whole world at the time! But it really worked well with Neon

Q : do you like the band Superorganism?

MB : haven't really listened to Superorganism, we'll check them out!

Q : Only thing I don’t like is the redbone cover to be honest with you and I’ve gone through your YouTube and soundcloud

MB : lol we respect that

Q : I really like your Redbone cover! What other songs would you like to cover?

MB : we always struggle to think of covers, was thinking of sourcing suggestions on Instagram so maybe we'll do that soon

Q : What is thr most difficult song of the creative process for you guys, is it, say, the lyrics, the melody, the mixing?

MB : probably lyrics, it's not that it's HARD but I get very particular about it and sometimes a little slow haha - Mica

Q : i just have to say, i think i've streamed your one song Only If You Want It a million times. it's such a bop and i think it's a great song to introduce people to your work. what was your inspiration for that song and the retro style music video?

MB : yes we think OIYWI really encapsulates what we're aiming to do musically, really glad you like it! Spice Girls, specifically Say You'll Be There, was a huge inspo. We really love that video but didn't have a plan for it AT ALL when we filmed all that footage of me with our vhs cam hahah so it was a mess but then we figured out the word art aesthetic and the bugs and it all came together

Q : How does it feel to be the highlight of my terrible day? Because once I saw the tweet I felt quite a bit better, plus my magbae playlist keeps me calm

MB : Thank you!! We made that cover ourselves so means a lot, and there's a little nod to each mini song in it which is fun

Q : have you ever covered songs that you decided against releasing?

MB : yes lol how did you know?? we did really weird attempts at promiscuous girl and rod stewart's if you think i'm sexy that will never see the light of day

Q : https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/264810236500639745/609503125677670418/magdalenabay.gif

Q : if a blackpink stan is called a blink is a magdalena bay stan called a mabay

MB : we think magbae is a good stan name

Q : what is the best/worst thing you've guys have encountered so far in the music industry??

MB : best/worst thing we've encountered in the music industry: one of the best things is finding our stuff being posted on r/popheads, we used to have to do it ourselves hahah, worst thing is dealing with shady industry people

Q : Any plans for shows in the Los Angeles area by the end of the year?

MB : re LA shows: we're working on it! probably yes

Q : Oh shoot i just thought of a very very improtany question i must know - Simply : Cats or Dogs

MB : DOGS

much later // we like cats too just dogs more :/

Q : Did you start making music for the fun of it, or did you actually have asperations to be famous?

MB : we started making music back in high school in a rock band and it just evolved from there. I (mica) never thought I would really do this until i had to graduate college and was like wait!!! I don't want a real job!! // Matt always knew he wanted to work in music

Q : magdalena bay, how would you guys describe your songwriting process?

MB : it's pretty different for each song, only thing that stays the same is that we write lyrics after melody, not all writers do that! but a song can start with a beat or chords or sometimes melody, from either of us!

Q : ooh I actually have one more question! what song of yours has the most meaning to you? whether it’s bc of the inspiration behind it or something else

MB : probably some of the unreleased stuff, but you'll hear it soon! a song called airplane is prob the most personal to me (mica)

Q : what artist(s) would you collab with, if you could pick any?

Q : If you could travel back in time and impart one piece of advise to your early teenage selves, what would it be?

MB : START MAKING POP SOONER

Q : So do you sit down for hours and work on thinking of melodies or do they come to you randomly and you're like "whelp, time to record"

MB : both definitely happen, iphone voice memos are key

Q : Actually I do have a question, if y'all had a bigger budget, what would you be doing differently?

MB : blackpink-level music videos

Q : Favorite video games?

MB : We've just started playing video games and love zelda twilight princess but we're dumb and bad at it and are always stuck lol

Q : there are several users here in popheads who are trying to get into the music industry, if you have one tip you can give them, what would it be?

MB : try to do everything you can yourself- from music production to videos to graphics you will learn a lot and be less reliant on other people!! and you'll save money haha

Q : If yall dont thats chill but if yoy do whats your fav song from blackpink

MB : we like the one that goes dudududu

Q : Were you ever worried about a song with hashtag as a title/lyric? Or were you just that damn confident?

MB : yes we were worried lol

Q : would you play Minecraft

MB : don't know anything about it but matt's little sister plays it so sure

Q : we spoke about artists you'd like to work with so...what producers do you get inspiration from / would like to work with?

MB : definitely ag cook, Sophie, grimes, toro, also get a lot of influence from the classics like max martin, quincy jones, pharell

Q : What's one thing people might be surprised to learn about the both of you, respectively?

MB : Maybe that we started music playing in a progressive rock band (the opposite of pop) also matt is an amazing chef and mica is argentinian??

Q : if there is one, favourite Britney Spears album/song?

MB : BLACKOUT we listen to it every day

Q : is there any of your progressive rock stuff on the internet 🧐

Also: (you may have answered this already, skip if you have lol) why did you guys make such a genre switch?

MB : Yes but we're not gonna link hahah, and we started making pop because we were at school in different cities and pop is easier to make long distance.... didn't know we'd fall in love with making it! Also mica discovered art angels around that time and that was that

Q : will you continue to be in the server and chat with us? we enjoy having you and hope you'll stick around

MB : thank you!! @hals#0013 yes we'll be around
