Lance looks at the stars and he sees distance, a vast, drowning emptiness he wasn't meant to join so permanently.

Pidge looks at the stars and sees something defying, a set of footprints difficult to explain in words that make sense

Shiro looks at the stars and sees a steely set of perfect constellations that shift just out of line, a prison in the form of a time running out

Hunk looks at the stars and sees a path yet unthought, every needle-poked spot of light bringing warmth just as it does fire

trigger warning: human experimentation, sex trafficking, torture (below the cut)

Truck stop Icarus - damn boy, what happened to you?

Alehouse Persephone - it's always warm where you go and cold when you leave

Train station Odysseus - wherever you're trying to go, you're probably on a detour

Drunk tank Pandora - what can of fresh hell did you open?

Office Cassandra - she fucking told y'all that it would end like this

Tag ur friends to see what their current favourite song is.

I'm gonna shorten this post a bit because it's getting very long tho, sorry about that

My current fave is:

I fear I listened to an entire playlist of hers during my curufin/tyelcurvo drawing craze and now I cannot listen to it without picturing them. Which is fine by me :D

(even though I often forget to play)

🖤 thank you sooo much @yewfae my equally-sauron-obsessed friend

Hehe, I'm once again cheating because my preferences are wiiide

and

The first song is the one I'm dancing to atm and the second one gave me the idea to one of my angbang wips so i listen to it everytime i try to work on it >///<

I listened to both of your songs, imagining you dancing (Baladi in C.) - would really love to see you dance! - and wondered what story you're going to tell in your Angbang wip (Hellfire) - would you like to tell more about it 👀👀👀❤️?

As for my own fav song(s) at the moment: i’m afraid i have to cheat a lot here, because there’s just too much very different music and too many different songs that i’m generally and currently into. As far as i can see, older music has been under-represented here so far, so i’d like to mention

Jimi Henrix, The Wind cries Mary

making me think of Mairon alone at night: on a dark strand in Numenor, missing Middle-earth, as well as Mairon running Melkor's realm on his own during Melkor's captivity. (I usually don't listen too much to song texts, it's more the feel of the music, but sometimes a few lines stick.)

When i first encountered that song a long time ago, i imagined a scene from a fic of mine set in ancient Persia - so i also think of your Opus Magnus now!

There's also

John Hiatt, Is Anybody there

As well as

Fly me to the Moon, a live version by Diana Krall at the Marciac Jazz Festival (Track 9) with a great guitar solo (i think of a fluffy angbang here, Mel and Mai flying together through the void).

My current favs also include more upbeat contemporary dance music, as well as other more recent songs, but i'm going to shut up for now. One exception: The Lemonade Song by Pink Martini, pointed out to me by @moringottocake.

Thanks to all of you for sharing your current preferences!

I’d say my overall favorite song is “In a Week” by Hozier bc I love listening to it and singing it but my favorite song at the moment is “Ritual” by Within Temptation because it makes me think of Sauron^^ (also the album art is amazing)

Maybe “Hello Heaven, Hello” by YUNGBLUD because I’ve been vibing to it while suffering through this drawing project

Also “Stardust” by Lilith Max because it’s a vibe and “Monster” from Epic the Musical (by Jorge Rivera-Herrans) bc I’ve been obsessing over my OC Kirin and that song reminds me of her corruption arc from engineer to false god (we don’t have time to unpack all that)

Everyone uses spell jars a lot, but we always run out, and they cost money. Well, I have a new solution.

In forensics, a paper bindle is used to hold trace evidence. It can be anything from hair to cloth with blood or even gunpowder.

Here’s how you make one:

-get a piece of paper and fold it in thirds

-unfold it, then fold it in thirds in the other direction

-again, unfold. You can place any larger objects in the center square at this step.

-fold in the left and right sides, then fold up the bottom flap

-at this point you have a pouch. You can add your smaller objects and powders now.

-fold down both corners of the top flap to make a triangle.

-tuck the top flap into the top section of the flap. You can tape the bindle shut at this stage, but it’s not necessary.

I’ve used this so far for a protection spell. The garlic powder didn’t fall out, even with shaking. In addition, you can use paper colors to match intention, and it’s easy to draw sigils and runes at any stage. It’s also: ✨biodegradable✨. So if your spell works better buried, you won’t be harming the environment.
